SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 23:1–16: Joshua warned the Israelites to continue to obey Yahweh

Joshua gave this farewell speech to the Israelites when he was near the end of his life. This section connects back to Joshua 13:1 which says that Joshua was very old, and to Joshua 21:44 which says that God had given the Israelites rest.Butler, p. 254. The text does not say where Joshua gave this farewell speech, but it may have taken place at Shiloh.Woudstra, p. 332.

Here is another possible section heading:

Joshua’s farewell speech to the Israelites

23:11

Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God.

Therefore: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as Therefore is the Hebrew conjunction that occurs at the beginning of clauses to connect them.

Here is another way to translate this conjunction:

So

Some English versions leave this conjunction untranslated. Use the connecting word that is natural in your language.

watch yourselves carefully: The Hebrew verb phrase that the BSB translates as watch yourselves carefully can also be translated “Be on your guard,” or “Be attentive.”

that you love the LORD your God: In some languages it may be more natural to translate “Yahweh our God” because Yahweh is also the God of Joshua.

Here are some other ways to translate this verse:

So be careful to love Yahweh your God

Be sure to love Yahweh our God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נִשְׁמַרְתֶּ֥ם מְאֹ֖ד לְ⁠נַפְשֹֽׁתֵי⁠כֶ֑ם לְ⁠אַהֲבָ֖ה אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶֽם

and,you(pl)_will_take_heed very to,selves_of,your(pl) to,love DOM YHWH God_of,your(pl)

Joshua is using a common expression to mean “being very careful about something.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And you shall be very careful to love Yahweh your God]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

23:11 be very careful to love: Love is a function of will and intention. Emotion and attraction are the results, not the essence, of love. Because love is (or is not) willed, love can be commanded but not coerced.
