1 A long time after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on every side, Joshua became old and stricken in age. 2 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and stricken in age: 3 And you have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God is He Who has fought for you. 4 I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea Westward. 5 And Jehovah your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God has promised to you. 6 Be therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; 7 That you come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them: 8 But join yourself to Jehovah your God, as you have done to this day. 9 For Jehovah has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. 10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for Jehovah your God, he it is that fights for you, as he has promised you. 11 Take good heed therefore to your minds, that you love Jehovah your God. 12 Or else if you in any way go back and join yourself to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you: 13 Know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God has given you. 14 And, this day I am going the way of all the Earth: and you know in all your minds, your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass to you, and not one thing has failed. 15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which Jehovah your God promised you; so shall Jehovah bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God has given you. 16 When you have transgressed the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.
