Many years had passed since YAHWEH had given Israel rest from all their enemies, and Joshua was very old. So Joshua called together all the Israelites, including all their leaders—elders, judges, and officials—and told them, “I’m now very old and don’t have much longer to live. YAHWEH your God has shown you his power and fought against your enemies for you. You have seen all the wonders that he has done to all these nations because he loves you. See, I have assigned to your tribes all the land from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. I have given you the land of all the nations that we’ve already conquered as an inheritance, and also the land of those nations that we’ve yet to conquer. YAHWEH your God will absolutely keep his promises to you. He will drive out all your enemies and make them retreat before you so that you will possess their land. So be very strong and steadfast; be careful to obey fully what is written in the Scroll of the teaching of Moses, without deviating from it. Do not intermingle with the nations that are left among you nor speak the names of their gods when you take an oath. And by all means don’t worship or pray to them. As you have done until now, cling tightly to YAHWEH, for he is your God.
