4 See, ^aI have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.

5 And the Lord your God ^awill expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, ^bas the Lord your God promised you.

6 ^aTherefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, ^blest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

7 and lest you ^ago among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not ^bmake mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to ^cswear by them; you shall not ^dserve them nor bow down to them,

8 but you shall ^ahold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.

9 ^aFor the Lord has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

10 ^aOne man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, ^bas He promised you.
