Joshua’s Farewell Address

23And it happened, after a long time,[fn] after Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, andafter Joshua was old and well-advanced in years,[fn] 2Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders, heads, judges, and officials, and he said to them, “I am old and well-advanced in years,[fn] 3and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations for your sake,[fn] for Yahweh your Godis fighting for you. 4Look! I have allotted to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, to the Great Sea[fn]in the west.[fn] 5And Yahweh your God will push them back before you[fn] and drive themout of your sight,[fn] and you will possess their land, just as Yahweh your God promised to you. 6Be very strong to observe carefully all that is written in the scroll of the law of Moses so as not to turn aside from it, to the right or left, 7so as not to go among these remaining nations with you; do not profess[fn] the name of their gods, and do not swear by them, serve them, orbow down to them.[fn] 8But hold fast to Yahweh your God, just as you have done up to this day. 9Yahweh has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, nobody has withstood[fn] you to this day. 10One of your men put to flight a thousand, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you, just as he promised you. 11Take utmost care for the sake of your life to love Yahweh your God, 12for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations among you,[fn] and you intermarry with them,marrying their women and they yours,[fn] 13know for certain that Yahweh your God will not continue to drive out[fn] these nations from before you; they will be for you a snare and a trap, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.

14Look! I am about to die,[fn] and you know in all your hearts[fn] and souls[fn] that not one thingfailed[fn] from all the good things that Yahweh your God promised concerning you; everythinghas been fulfilled;[fn]not one thing failed.[fn] 15But just as all the good things[fn] came to you that Yahweh your God promised, so will Yahweh bring to you all the bad things[fn] until he has destroyed you from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you. 16If you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded to you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, Yahweh’s anger will be kindled[fn] against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.”
