1 A long time after I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had given rest to God Prevails (Israel) from all their enemies around them, I AM is Salvation (Joshua) grew old and stricken in age.
2 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) called for
all God Prevails (Israel), and for their elders, and for their heads, and for
their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and stricken
in age:
3 You have seen all that I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) your God has done to all these nations because of you; for I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) your God is he that has fought for you.
4 Look, I have divided to you by lot
these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from The
Descender (Jordan), with all the nations that I have cut off, all the way to
the great sea westward.
5 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, He
shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you
shall possess their land, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God has promised to
you.
6 Be therefore very courageous to keep
and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Drawn (Moses), that you
turn not aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
7 That you come not among these nations,
these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods,
nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them nor bow yourselves to them:
8 But cleave to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, as you have done to this day.
9 For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has driven
out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has been
able to stand before you to this day.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand:
for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, he it is that fights for you, as He has
promised you.
11 Therefore be diligent to love I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah) your God.
12 If you go back even a little, and
cleave to the remnant of these nations, that remain among you, and make
marriages with them, and go into them, and they to you:
13 Know for a certainty that I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) your God will no longer drive out any of these nations from
before you, but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your
sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which I
AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God has given you.
14 Behold, this day I am going the way of
all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not
one thing has failed of all the good things which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your
God spoke concerning you; all have come to pass for you, and not one thing has
failed thereof.
15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that
as all good things are come upon you, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God
promised you; so shall I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) bring upon you all evil things,
until He has destroyed you from off this good land which I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) your God has given you.
16 When you have transgressed the
covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, which He commanded you, and have
gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger
of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) be kindled against you, and you shall perish
quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.
