¶ The .xxiii. Chapter. ¶ Iosua exhorteth the people, that they ioyne not them selues to the Gentyles.

A   And it came to passe a longe ceason after that the Lorde had geuen reste vnto Israel from all theyr enemyes rounde about, that Iosua waxed olde, and was stricken in age. And Iosua called for all Israel, and for their elders, their heades their Iudges and officers, and sayde vnto them: I am olde and stryken in age.

And ye haue sene all that þe; Lorde youre God hath done vnto all these naci&obar;s befo you, how þe; Lorde youre God hath fought for you. Beholde, I haue subdued vnto you these naci&obar;s þt; remayne, to be an enherita&ubar;ce for youre tribes: euen from Iordan, and (from the lande) of all the nacions that I haue destroyed, euen vnto the great See westwarde (And there remayne yet many nacions.) And the Lorde youre God shall expell th&ebar; before you, and cast th&ebar; from out of youre sight, and ye shall conquere their lande, as the Lorde youre God hath saide vnto you.

B   Go to therfore note as strongly as ye maye,

-- --

Iosua exhorteth the people that ye take hede and do all that is written in the boke of the lawe of Moses, note that ye vowe not a syde therfr&obar;, to the ryght hand or to the lefte: and lest that wh&abar; ye come amonge these nacions, (euen amonge these that are left with you) ye make mencion or sweare by the names of their goddes: and that ye nether serue them, nor bowe youre selues vnto them. But that ye sticke fast vnto þe; Lorde youre God, as ye haue done vnto this daye. C   So shall þe; Lorde cast out before you great nacions and myghtye, as no man hath bene able to stande before you hitherto. noteOne man of you shall chase a thousande: for þe; Lorde youre God he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Take good hede therfore vnto youre selues, þt; ye loue the Lorde youre God.

Els, yf ye go backe and cleaue vnto the rest of these nacions þt; remayne wyth you, and shall make mariages with them, ∧ go in vnto them, and they to you: be ye sure, that þe; Lorde youre God will nomore cast out all these nacions fr&obar; before you. noteBut they shalbe snares and trappes vnto you and scourges in youre sydes, and thornes in youre eyes, vntyll ye peryshe fr&obar; of thys good lande, whych the Lorde youre God hath geuen you.

D   And behold, this daye, do I entre in to the waye of all the worlde, ∧ ye knowe in all your hertes ∧ in all youre soules, that note nothyng hath fayled of all the good thynges which the Lord youre God promysed you: But all are come to passe, ∧ nothyng hath fayled therof. Therfore, as all good th&ibar;ges are come vpon you, which the Lorde youre God promysed you, so shall þe; Lorde bryng vp&obar; you all euell, vntyll he haue destroyed you fr&obar; of thys good lande, whych þe; Lorde youre God hath geuen you, wh&ebar; ye haue transgressed the appointm&ebar;t of the Lorde youre God, which he c&obar;maunded you: and haue gone and serued straunge goddes, and bowed youre selues to th&ebar;. Then shall the wrath of the Lorde waxe whote vp&obar; you, ∧ ye shall peryshe quicklye fr&obar; of the good lande, which he hath geuen you,
