Joshua 23:6

Joshua 23:6

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.

<< Joshua 23:5

Joshua 23:7 >>

Very courageous - For it will require great courage and resolution to execute all the commands of Moses, and particularly, that of expelling and destroying the residue of the Canaanites. The right hand or the left - That is, in one kind or other, by adding to the law, or diminishing from it.
