Joshua 23:3-16

23:3

And ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

unto all these nations
<01471>

because
<06440>

of you; for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[is] he that hath fought
<03898> (8737)

for you.

23:4

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

I have divided
<05307> (8689)

unto you by lot these nations
<01471>

that remain
<07604> (8737)_,

to be an inheritance
<05159>

for your tribes
<07626>_,

from Jordan
<03383>_,

with all the nations
<01471>

that I have cut off
<03772> (8689)_,

even unto the great
<01419>

sea
<03220>

westward
<03996> <08121>_.

{westward: Heb. at the sunset}

23:5

And the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

he shall expel
<01920> (8799)

them from before
<06440>

you, and drive
<03423> (8689)

them from out of your sight
<06440>_;

and ye shall possess
<03423> (8804)

their land
<0776>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath promised
<01696> (8765)

unto you.

23:6

Be ye therefore very
<03966>

courageous
<02388> (8804)

to keep
<08104> (8800)

and to do
<06213> (8800)

all that is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

that ye turn
<05493> (8800)

not aside therefrom [to] the right hand
<03225>

or [to] the left
<08040>_;

23:7

That ye come
<0935> (8800)

not among these nations
<01471>_,

these that remain
<07604> (8737)

among you; neither make mention
<02142> (8686)

of the name
<08034>

of their gods
<0430>_,

nor cause to swear
<07650> (8686)

[by them], neither serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves unto them:

23:8

But cleave
<01692> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

as ye have done
<06213> (8804)

unto this day
<03117>_.

{But cleave...: or, For if ye will cleave, etc}

23:9

For the LORD
<03068>

hath driven out
<03423> (8686)

from before
<06440>

you great
<01419>

nations
<01471>

and strong
<06099>_:

but [as for] you, no man
<0376>

hath been able to stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

you unto this day
<03117>_.

{For the LORD...: or, Then the LORD will drive}

23:10

One
<0259>

man
<0376>

of you shall chase
<07291> (8799)

a thousand
<0505>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

he [it is] that fighteth
<03898> (8737)

for you, as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)

you.

23:11

Take good
<03966>

heed
<08104> (8738)

therefore unto yourselves
<05315>_,

that ye love
<0157> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

{yourselves: Heb. your souls}

23:12

Else if ye do in any wise
<07725> (8800)

go back
<07725> (8799)_,

and cleave
<01692> (8804)

unto the remnant
<03499>

of these nations
<01471>_,

[even] these that remain
<07604> (8737)

among you, and shall make marriages
<02859> (8694)

with them, and go in
<0935> (8804)

unto them, and they to you:

23:13

Know
<03045> (8799)

for a certainty
<03045> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

will no more
<03254> (8686)

drive out
<03423> (8687)

[any of] these nations
<01471>

from before
<06440>

you; but they shall be snares
<06341>

and traps
<04170>

unto you, and scourges
<07850>

in your sides
<06654>_,

and thorns
<06796>

in your eyes
<05869>_,

until ye perish
<06> (8800)

from off this good
<02896>

land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you.

23:14

And, behold, this day
<03117>

I [am] going
<01980> (8802)

the way
<01870>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and ye know
<03045> (8804)

in all your hearts
<03824>

and in all your souls
<05315>_,

that not one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

hath failed
<05307> (8804)

of all the good
<02896>

things
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

spake
<01696> (8765)

concerning you; all are come to pass
<0935> (8804)

unto you, [and] not one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

hath failed
<05307> (8804)

thereof.

23:15

Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good
<02896>

things
<01697>

are come
<0935> (8804)

upon you, which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

promised
<01696> (8765)

you; so shall the LORD
<03068>

bring
<0935> (8686)

upon you all evil
<07451>

things
<01697>_,

until he have destroyed
<08045> (8687)

you from off this good
<02896>

land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you.

23:16

When ye have transgressed
<05674> (8800)

the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

you, and have gone
<01980> (8804)

and served
<05647> (8804)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8694)

yourselves to them; then shall the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

be kindled
<02734> (8804)

against you, and ye shall perish
<06> (8804)

quickly
<04120>

from off the good
<02896>

land
<0776>

which he hath given
<05414> (8804)

unto you.
