Joshua
Chapter 23
1~~And
it came to pass a long time after
that
the Jehovah/God had given rest unto Israel
from
all their enemies round about,
that
Joshua was very old and stricken in age.
2-5
And Joshua called for all Israel,
and
for their elders, and for their heads,
and
for their judges,
and
for their officers,
and
said unto them,
"I
am old and stricken in age. 3
And
you have seen all that Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
has
done unto all these nations because of you
for
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
is
He Who has fought for you. 4
Behold,
I have divided unto you by lot
these
nations that remain,
to
be an inheritance for your tribes,
from
Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off,
even
unto the great sea westward. 5
And
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
He
shall expel them from before you,
and
drive them from out of your sight;
and
you shall possess their land,
as
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
has
promised unto you."
{Application}
6-9
"Be you therefore very courageous
to
keep and to do all
that
is written in the book of the law of Moses,
that
you turn not aside there from
to
the right hand or to the left
{stick with the Word of God}; 7
That
you come not among these nations,
these
that remain among you.
Neither
make mention of the name of their gods {'elohiym},
nor
cause to swear by them,
neither
serve them,
nor
bow yourselves unto them. 8
But
cleave unto Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
as
you have done unto this day. 9
For
Jehovah/God has driven out from before you
great
nations and strong.
But
as for you,
no
man has been able to stand before you unto this day."
10-11~~
"One {super grace believer} man
puts
to flight a thousand {enemy solders}
for
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
is
He who fights for you
just
as He promised you. 11~~
So
take careful heed of yourself
to
love Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead."
12-13~~
"Else if you do in any wise go back,
and
cleave unto the remnant of these nations,
even
these that remain among you,
and
shall make marriages with them,
and
go in unto them, and they to you, 13~~
know
for a certainty
that
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
will
no more drive out any of these nations from before you;
but
they shall be snares and traps unto you,
and
scourges in your sides,
and
thorns in your eyes,
until
you perish from off this good land
which
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead has given you."
{Dying
Grace - Only the Lord Himself Had Greater Dying Words}
14~~"And,
behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth
{going to die today - he is calm}.
And
you know in all your hearts/'right lobes'
and
in all your souls,
that
not one thing has failed of all the good things
which
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead spoke concerning you.
All
are come to pass unto you,
and
not one thing has failed thereof."
15"
Therefore it shall come to pass,
that
as all good things are come upon you,
which
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead promised you;
so
shall Jehovah/God bring upon you all evil things,
until
He has destroyed you from off this good land
which
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead has given you."
16
"When you have transgressed the covenant
of
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
which
He commanded you,
and
have gone and served other gods {'elohiym},
and
bowed yourselves to them;
then
shall the anger of the Jehovah/God be kindled against you,
and
you shall perish quickly from off the good land
which
He has given unto you."
