[1]And it came to pass a longH7227 timeH3117 afterH310 that the LORDH3068 had given restH5117[H8689] unto IsraelH3478 from all their enemiesH341[H8802] round aboutH5439, that JoshuaH3091 waxed oldH2204[H8804] and strickenH935[H8804] in ageH3117.
[2]And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121[H8799] for all IsraelH3478, and for their eldersH2205, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199[H8802], and for their officersH7860[H8802], and saidH559[H8799] unto them, I am oldH2204[H8804] and strickenH935[H8804] in ageH3117:
[3]And ye have seenH7200[H8804] all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath doneH6213[H8804] unto all these nationsH1471 becauseH6440 of you; for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that hath foughtH3898 for youH8737.
[4]BeholdH7200[H8798], I have dividedH5307[H8689] unto you by lot these nationsH1471 that remainH7604[H8737], to be an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, from JordanH3383, with all the nationsH1471 that I have cut offH3772[H8689], even unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 westwardH3996.[H8121]
[5]And the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he shall expelH1920[H8799] them from beforeH6440 you, and driveH3423[H8689] them from out of your sightH6440; and ye shall possessH3423[H8804] their landH776, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath promisedH1696 unto youH8765.
[6]Be ye therefore veryH3966 courageousH2388[H8804] to keepH8104[H8800] and to doH6213[H8800] all that is writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493[H8800] not aside therefrom to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040;
[7]That ye comeH935[H8800] not among these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604[H8737] among you; neither make mentionH2142[H8686] of the nameH8034 of their godsH430, nor cause to swearH7650[H8686] by them, neither serveH5647[H8799] them, nor bowH7812 yourselves unto themH8691:
[8]But cleaveH1692[H8799] unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213[H8804] unto this dayH3117.
[9]For the LORDH3068 hath driven outH3423[H8686] from beforeH6440 you greatH1419 nationsH1471 and strongH6099: but as for you, no manH376 hath been able to standH5975[H8804] beforeH6440 you unto this dayH3117.
[10]OneH259 manH376 of you shall chaseH7291[H8799] a thousandH505: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he it is that fightethH3898[H8737] for you, as he hath promisedH1696 youH8765.
[11]Take goodH3966 heedH8104[H8738] therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157[H8800] the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
[12]Else if ye do in any wiseH7725[H8800] go backH7725[H8799], and cleaveH1692[H8804] unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604[H8737] among you, and shall make marriagesH2859[H8694] with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to youH8804:
[13]KnowH3045[H8799] for a certaintyH3045[H8800] that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254[H8686] drive outH3423[H8687] any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6[H8800] from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 youH8804.
[14]And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980[H8802] the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045[H8804] in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307[H8804] of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696[H8765] concerning you; all are come to passH935[H8804] unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereofH8804.
[15]Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935[H8804] upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696[H8765] you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935[H8686] upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045[H8687] you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 youH8804.
[16]When ye have transgressedH5674[H8800] the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680[H8765] you, and have goneH1980[H8804] and servedH5647[H8804] otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812[H8694] yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734[H8804] against you, and ye shall perishH6[H8804] quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto youH8804.
