00:00.000 --> 00:05.260
Chapter 23 And it came to pass a long time
after that the LORD had given rest unto

00:05.260 --> 00:10.120
Israel from all their enemies round about,
that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

00:10.520 --> 00:14.540
And Joshua called for all Israel,
and for their elders, and for their heads,

00:14.700 --> 00:19.400
and for their judges, and for their
officers, and said unto them, I am old and

00:19.400 --> 00:25.740
stricken in age, and ye have seen all that
the LORD your God hath done unto all these

00:25.740 --> 00:26.960
nations because of you.

00:26.960 --> 00:30.880
For the LORD your God is he that hath
fought for you.

00:31.520 --> 00:38.000
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot
these nations that remain, to be an

00:38.000 --> 00:43.360
inheritance for your tribes from Jordan,
with all the nations that I have cut off,

00:43.920 --> 00:45.740
even unto the great sea westward.

00:46.740 --> 00:52.620
And the LORD your God, he shall expel them
from before you, and drive them from out

00:52.620 --> 00:53.280
of your sight.

00:53.280 --> 00:59.220
And ye shall possess their land,
as the LORD your God hath promised unto

00:59.220 --> 00:59.500
you.

01:00.500 --> 01:05.720
Be therefore very courageous to keep and
to do all that is written in the book of

01:05.720 --> 01:11.180
the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside
therefrom to the right hand or to the

01:11.180 --> 01:17.000
left, that ye come not among these
nations, these that remain among you.

01:17.560 --> 01:22.460
Neither make mention of the name of their
gods, nor cause to swear by them,

01:22.460 --> 01:29.040
neither serve them, nor bow yourselves
unto them, but cleave unto the LORD your

01:29.040 --> 01:31.960
God, as ye have done unto this day.

01:33.200 --> 01:37.040
For the LORD hath driven out from before
you great nations, and strong.

01:37.760 --> 01:42.780
But as for you, no man hath been able to
stand before you unto this day.

01:43.980 --> 01:45.980
One man of you shall chase a thousand.

01:46.800 --> 01:52.500
For the LORD your God, he it is that
fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

01:53.740 --> 01:58.040
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves,
that ye love the LORD your God.

01:59.060 --> 02:03.880
Else if ye do in any wise go back,
and cleave unto the remnant of these

02:03.880 --> 02:08.540
nations, even these that remain among you,
and shall make marriages with them,

02:08.940 --> 02:11.640
and go in unto them, and they to you.

02:12.720 --> 02:18.180
Know for a certainty that the LORD your
God will no more drive out any of these

02:18.180 --> 02:23.940
nations from before you, but they shall be
snares, and traps unto you, and scourges

02:23.940 --> 02:29.640
in your sides, and thorns in your eyes,
until ye perish from off this good land,

02:30.120 --> 02:32.200
which the LORD your God hath given you.

02:33.220 --> 02:37.860
And behold, this day I am going the way of
all the earth.

02:38.920 --> 02:44.080
And ye know in all your hearts,
and in all your souls, that not one thing

02:44.080 --> 02:48.440
hath failed of all the good things which
the LORD your God spake concerning you.

02:49.360 --> 02:54.820
All are come to pass unto you,
and not one thing hath failed thereof.

02:56.400 --> 03:00.760
Therefore it shall come to pass,
that as all good things are come upon you,

03:00.840 --> 03:06.440
which the LORD your God promised you,
so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil

03:06.440 --> 03:11.620
things, until ye have destroyed you from
off this good land, which the LORD your

03:11.620 --> 03:12.540
God hath given you.

03:13.800 --> 03:19.400
When ye have transgressed the covenant of
the LORD your God, which he commanded you,

03:19.540 --> 03:24.620
and have gone and served other gods,
and bowed yourselves to them, then shall

03:24.620 --> 03:29.820
the anger of the LORD be kindled against
you, and ye shall perish quickly from off

03:29.820 --> 03:31.760
the good land, which he hath given unto
you.
