[1] After many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years, [2] Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, “I am old and well advanced in years. [3] You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for you. [4] Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun. [5] Yahweh your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you. [6] “Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn away from it to the right hand or to the left; [7] that you not come 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 down yourselves to them; [8] but hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day. [9] “For Yahweh has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day. [10] One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you. [11] Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God. [12] “But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you; [13] know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you. [14] “Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it. [15] It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so Yahweh will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you, [16] when you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then Yahweh’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.”

Joshua’s Farewell

[1] And it came to pass H1961 a long H7227 time H3117 after H310 that H834 the Lord H3068 had given rest H5117 unto Israel H3478 from all H3605 their enemies H341 round about, H5439 that Joshua H3091 waxed old H2204 and stricken H935 in age. H3117§ [2] And Joshua H3091 called H7121 for all H3605 Israel, H3478 and for their elders, H2205 and for their heads, H7218 and for their judges, H8199 and for their officers, H7860 and said H559 unto them, H413 I H589 am old H2204 and stricken H935 in age: H3117 [3] and ye H859 have seen H7200 H853 all H3605 that H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 hath done H6213 unto all H3605 these H428 nations H1471 because of you; H6440 for H3588 the Lord H3068 your God H430 is he H1931 that hath fought H3898 for you. [4] Behold, H7200 I have divided H5307 unto you by lot H5307 H853 these H428 nations H1471 that remain, H7604 to be an inheritance H5159 for your tribes, H7626 from H4480 Jordan, H3383 with all H3605 the nations H1471 that H834 I have cut off, H3772 even unto the great H1419 sea H3220 westward. H3996§ H8121 [5] And the Lord H3068 your God, H430 he H1931 shall expel them H1920 from before you, H6440 and drive H3423 them H853 from out of your sight; H6440 and ye shall possess H3423 H853 their land, H776 as H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 hath promised H1696 unto you. [6] Be ye therefore H2388 very H3966 courageous H2388 to keep H8104 and to do H6213 H853 all H3605 that is written H3789 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of Moses, H4872 that ye turn H5493 not H1115 aside H5493 therefrom H4480 to the right hand H3225 or to the left; H8040 [7] that ye come H935 not H1115 among these H428 nations, H1471 these H428 that remain H7604 among you; H854 neither H3808 make mention H2142 of the name H8034 of their gods, H430 nor H3808 cause to swear H7650 by them, neither H3808 serve them, H5647 nor H3808 bow yourselves H7812 unto them: [8] but H3588 H518 cleave H1692 unto the§ Lord H3068 your God, H430 as H834 ye have done H6213 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117 [9] For the Lord H3068 hath driven out H3423§ from before you H6440 great H1419 nations H1471 and strong: H6099 but as for you, H859 no H3808 man H376 hath been able to stand H5975 before you H6440 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117 [10] One H259 man H376 of you H4480 shall chase H7291 a thousand: H505 for H3588 the Lord H3068 your God, H430 he H1931 it is that fighteth H3898 for you, as H834 he hath promised H1696 you. [11] Take H8104 good H3966 heed H8104 therefore unto yourselves, H5315§ that ye love H157 H853 the Lord H3068 your God. H430 [12] Else H3588 if H518 ye do in any wise H7725 go back, H7725 and cleave H1692 unto the remnant H3499 of these H428 nations, H1471 even these H428 that remain H7604 among you, H854 and shall make marriages H2859 with them, and go in H935 unto them, and they H1992 to you: [13] know H3045 for a certainty H3045 that H3588 the Lord H3068 your God H430 will H3254 no H3808 more H3254 drive out H3423 H853 any of these H428 nations H1471 from before you; H6440 but they shall be H1961 snares H6341 and traps H4170 unto you, and scourges H7850 in your sides, H6654 and thorns H6796 in your eyes, H5869 until H5704 ye perish H6 from off H5921 this H2063 good H2896 land H127 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 hath given H5414 you. [14] And, behold, H2009 this day H3117 I H595 am going H1980 the way H1870 of all H3605 the earth: H776 and ye know H3045 in all H3605 your hearts H3824 and in all H3605 your souls, H5315 that H3588 not H3808 one H259 thing H1697 hath failed H5307 of all H3605 the good H2896 things H1697 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 spake H1696 concerning you; H5921 all H3605 are come to pass H935 unto you, and not H3808 one H259 thing H1697 hath failed H5307 thereof. H4480 [15] Therefore it shall come to pass, H1961 that as H834 all H3605 good H2896 things H1697 are come H935 upon you, H5921 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 promised H1696 you; H413 so H3651 shall H935 the Lord H3068 bring H935 upon you H5921 H853 all H3605 evil H7451 things, H1697 until H5704 he have destroyed H8045 you H853 from off H5921 this H2063 good H2896 land H127 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 hath given H5414 you. [16] When ye have transgressed H5674 H853 the covenant H1285 of the Lord H3068 your God, H430 which H834 he commanded H6680 you, H853 and have gone H1980 and served H5647 other H312 gods, H430 and bowed yourselves H7812 to them; then shall H2734 the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 be kindled H2734 against you, and ye shall perish H6 quickly H4120 from off H5921 the good H2896 land H776 which H834 he hath given H5414 unto you.
