CHAP. XXIII.
Josue being old admonisheth
the people to keep God's
commandments: and to avoid
marriages, and all
society with the gentiles,
for fear of being brought
to idolatry.
1 And when a long time
was passed, after that
the Lord had given peace to
Israel, all the nations round
about being subdued, and
-- --
Josue being now old, and far
advanced in years:
2 Josue called for all Israel,
and for the elders, and for the
princes, and for the judges,
and for the masters, and said
to them: I am old, and far
advanced in years:
3 And you see all that the
Lord your God hath done to
all the nations round about,
how he himself hath fought
for you:
4 And now since he hath
divided to you by lot all the
land, from the east of the
Jordan unto the great sea, and
many nations yet remain:
5 The Lord your God
will destroy them, and take
them away from before your
face, and you shall possess
the land, as he hath promised
you.
6 Only take courage, and
be careful, to observe all things
that are written in the book
of the law of Moses: and
turn not aside from them neither
to the right hand nor to
the left:
7 Lest after that you are
come in among the Gentiles,
who will remain among you,
you should swear by the name
of their gods, and serve them,
and adore them:
8 But cleave ye unto the
Lord your God: as you have
done until this day.
9 And then the Lord God
will take away before your
eyes nations that are great and
very strong, and no man shall
be able to resist you.
10 One of you shall chase
a thousand men of the enemies:
because the Lord your
God himself will fight for
you, as he hath promised.
11 This only take care of
with all diligence, that you
love the Lord your God.
12 But if you will embrace
the errors of these nations,
that dwell among you,
and make marriages with
them, and join friendships:
13 Know ye for a certainty
that the Lord your God will
not destroy them before your
face, but they shall be a pit
and a snare in your way, and
a stumbling block at your side,
and stakes in your eyes, till
he take you away and destroy
you from off this excellent
land, which he hath given
you.
14 Behold this day I am
going into the way of all the
earth, and you shall know
with all your mind that of all
the words, which the Lord
promised to peform for you,
not one hath failed.
15 Therefore as he hath
fulfilled in deed, what he promised,
and all things prosperous
have come: so will he
bring upon you all the evils
he hath threatened, till he
take you away and destroy
you from off this excellent
land, which he hath given
you,
-- --
16 When you shall have
transgressed the covenant of
the Lord your God, which
he hath made with you, and
shall have served strange gods,
and adored them: Then shall
the indignation of the Lord
rise up quickly and speedily
against you, and you shall be
taken away from this excellent
land, which he hath delivered
to you.
