Joshua 23:7

23:7 or associate with these nations that remain near ⁸  you. You must not invoke or make solemn declarations by the names of their gods! ⁹  You must not worship ¹⁰  or bow down to them!

¹ tn Heb “rolled away.”

² sn One might take the disgrace of Egypt as a reference to their uncircumcised condition (see Gen 34:14), but the generation that left Egypt was circumcised (see v. 5). It more likely refers to the disgrace they experienced in Egyptian slavery. When this new generation reached the promised land and renewed their covenantal commitment to the Lord by submitting to the rite of circumcision, the Lord’s deliverance of his people from slavery, which had begun with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, reached its climax. See T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 59.

³ sn The name Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew verb “roll away” (גַּלַל, galal).

⁴ tn Or “servants.”

⁵ tn Heb “name.”

⁶ tn Heb “the report about him, all that he did in Egypt.”

⁷ tn Heb “And he was the great man among the Anakites.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “with.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

¹² tn Or “serve.”
