23:12-16 Apostasy—turning away from the true God—is fatal.
• Because God is holy, Joshua could speak with optimism regarding God’s promises and the good land into which God had brought them. God will not change his holy character even if his people change. The rebellion of God’s people cannot damage his holiness, but rebellion will destroy those who rebel.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
In your transgressing the covenant of Yahweh your God that he commanded you and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them
(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,transgress,you_all DOM covenant YHWH God,your_all's which/who commanded DOM,you_all and,go and,serve ʼElohīm other and,bow_down to/for=them and,burn also/though YHWH in/on/at/with,you_all and,perish quickly from=under the=earth/land the,good which/who he/it_gave to,you_all )
Joshua is describing one event before describing another event that would precede it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they would happen. Alternate translation: “If you go and serve other gods and bow down to them and thereby transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God that he commanded you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
then the nose of Yahweh will burn against you
(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,transgress,you_all DOM covenant YHWH God,your_all's which/who commanded DOM,you_all and,go and,serve ʼElohīm other and,bow_down to/for=them and,burn also/though YHWH in/on/at/with,you_all and,perish quickly from=under the=earth/land the,good which/who he/it_gave to,you_all )
Joshua is speaking as if Yahweh’s nose could burn with anger. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “then Yahweh will become very angry with you”
