1And it came to pass after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years; 2that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and well stricken in years: 3and you{+} have seen all that Yahweh your{+} God has done to all these nations because of you{+}; for Yahweh your{+} God, it is he who has fought for you{+}. 4Look, I have allotted to you{+} these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your{+} tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun. 5And Yahweh your{+} God, he will thrust them out from before you{+}, and drive them from out of your{+} sight; and you{+} will possess their land, as Yahweh your{+} God spoke to you{+}. 6Therefore be{+} very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, that you{+} don't turn aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; 7that you{+} don't come 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 down yourselves to them; 8but stick to Yahweh your{+} God, as you{+} have done to this day. 9For Yahweh has driven out from before you{+} great and strong nations: but as for you{+}, no man has stood before you{+} to this day. 10One man of you{+} will chase a thousand; for Yahweh your{+} God, it is he who fights for you{+}, as he spoke to you{+}. 11Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you{+} love Yahweh your{+} God. 12Else if you{+} do at all go back, and stick to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you{+}, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you{+}; 13know for a certainty that Yahweh your{+} God will no more drive these nations from out of your{+} sight; but they will be a snare and a trap to you{+}, and a scourge in your{+} sides, and thorns in your{+} eyes, until you{+} perish from off this good land which Yahweh your{+} God has given you{+}. 14And, look, 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 Yahweh your{+} God spoke concerning you{+}; all have come to pass to you{+}, not one thing has failed of them. 15And it will come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you{+} of which Yahweh your{+} God spoke to you{+}, so will Yahweh bring on you{+} all the evil things, until he destroys you{+} from off this good land which Yahweh your{+} God has given you{+}. 16When you{+} transgress the covenant of Yahweh your{+} God, which he commanded you{+}, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you{+}, and you{+} will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you{+}.
