Joshua’s Farewell Address

23 Now it came about after many days, when the Lord had given ^(A)rest to Israel from all their enemies on every side, and Joshua was old, advanced in years, ² that ^(B)Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, their heads, their judges, and their officers, and said to them, “I am old, advanced in years. ³ And you have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for ^(C)the Lord your God is He who has been fighting for you. ⁴ See, ^(D)I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have eliminated, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the ^[a]west. ⁵ And the Lord your God, He will thrust them away from you and ^[b](E)drive them from you; and ^(F)you will take possession of their land, just as the Lord your God ^[c]promised you. ^6 (G)Be very determined, then, to keep and do everything that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, so that you will not turn aside from it to the right or to the left,
