And it came to pass a long
time
after
that the LORD
had given rest
unto Israel
from all their enemies
round about,
that Joshua
waxed old
and stricken
in age.
And Joshua
called
for all Israel,
and for their elders,
and for their heads,
and for their judges,
and for their officers,
and said
unto them, I am old
and stricken
in age:
say
And ye have seen
all that the LORD
your God
hath done
unto all these nations
because
of you; for the LORD
your God
is he that hath fought
for you.

ἐκπολεμήσας

Behold,
I have divided
unto you by lot these nations
that remain,
to be an inheritance
for your tribes,
from Jordan,
with all the nations
that I have cut off,
even unto the great
sea
westward.
And the LORD
your God,
he shall expel
them from before
you, and drive
them from out of your sight;
and ye shall possess
their land,
as the LORD
your God
hath promised
unto you.
possess

Be ye therefore very
courageous
to keep
and to do
all that is written
in the book
of the law
of Moses,
that ye turn
not aside therefrom to the right hand
or to the left;
That ye 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 unto them:
But cleave
unto the LORD
your God,
as ye have done
unto this day.
For the LORD
hath driven out
from before
you great
nations
and strong:
but as for you, no man
hath been able to stand
before
you unto this day.
One
man
of you shall chase
a thousand:
for the LORD
your God,
he it is that fighteth
for you, as he hath promised
you.
Take good
heed
therefore unto yourselves,
that ye love
the LORD
your God.
Else if ye do in any wise
go back,
and cleave
unto the remnant
of these nations,
even these that remain
among you, and shall make marriages
with them, and go in
unto them, and they to you:
intermarriage

συγκαταμιγῆτε

Know
for a certainty
that the LORD
your God
will no more
drive out
any of these nations
from before
you; but they shall be snares
and traps
unto you, and scourges
in your sides,
and thorns
in your eyes,
until ye perish
from off this good
land
which the LORD
your God
hath given
you.
And, behold, this day
I am going
the way
of all the earth:
and ye know
in all your hearts
and in all your souls,
that not one
thing
hath failed
of all the good
things
which the LORD
your God
spake
concerning you; all are come to pass
unto you, and not one
thing
hath failed
thereof.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good
things
are come
upon you, which the LORD
your God
promised
you; so shall the LORD
bring
upon you all evil
things,
until he have destroyed
you from off this good
land
which the LORD
your God
hath given
you.
When ye have transgressed
the covenant
of the LORD
your God,
which he commanded
you, and have gone
and served
other
gods,
and bowed
yourselves to them; then shall the anger
of the LORD
be kindled
against you, and ye shall perish
quickly
from off the good
land
which he hath given
unto you.
