Joshua’s Charge to Leaders
A long time after the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them, when Joshua was old and well along in years, Jos 13:1Jos 21:44Jos 11:23Deu 31:2Gen 25:8Jos 22:4Psa 46:9 he summoned all Israel, including its elders, leaders, judges, and officers. “I am old and well along in years,” he said, Jos 24:11Ch 28:1Deu 31:28Act 20:17-35 “and you have seen everything that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, because it was the LORD your God who fought for you. Exo 14:14Jos 10:14Jos 10:42Deu 20:4Deu 4:9Mal 1:5Psa 44:1-3
See, I have allotted as an inheritance to your tribes these remaining nations, including all the nations I have already cut off, from the Jordan westward to the Great Sea. 1 Jos 13:2Jos 13:6-7Jos 18:10 The LORD your God will push them out of your way and drive them out before you, so that you can take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you. Deu 11:23Exo 33:2Exo 34:11Jos 13:6Exo 23:30-31Jos 23:12-13Num 33:52-53
Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, not turning aside from it to the right or to the left. Deu 28:14Deu 5:32Heb 12:4Deu 12:32Deu 17:20Eph 6:10-19Jos 1:7-9Pro 4:26-27 So you are not to associate with these nations that remain among you. You must not call on the names of their gods or swear by them, and you must not serve them or bow down to them. Exo 23:13Psa 16:4Deu 7:2-3Jer 5:7Exo 23:33Jos 23:121Co 15:332Co 6:14-17 Instead, you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day. Deu 10:20Jos 22:5Act 11:23Deu 11:22Deu 13:4Deu 4:4
The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and to this day no one can stand against you. Jos 1:5Deu 11:23Exo 23:30Jos 23:5Jos 1:8-9Jos 15:14Jos 21:43-44Deu 7:24 One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised. Deu 32:30Lev 26:8Deu 3:22Exo 14:14Psa 35:1Deu 20:4Rom 8:31Psa 46:7 Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God. Jos 22:5Deu 6:5-12Jud 1:20-21Rom 8:281Co 16:221Co 8:3Exo 20:6Pro 4:23 For if you turn away and cling to the rest of these nations that remain among you, and if you intermarry and associate with them, Deu 7:3Ezk 18:24Zep 1:61Jn 2:91Ki 11:21Ki 11:41Sa 18:1-32Co 6:14-17 know for sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become for you a snare and a trap, a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that the LORD your God has given you. Deu 7:16Num 33:55Exo 23:33Jdg 2:2-32Ki 17:22-23Deu 28:63-68Luk 21:24Psa 106:35-39
Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed. Luk 21:331Ki 2:2Lev 26:3-13Ecc 9:10Jos 21:43-45Num 23:191Ki 8:561Sa 3:19 But just as every good thing the LORD your God promised you has come to pass, likewise the LORD will bring upon you the calamity He has threatened, until He has destroyed you from this good land He has given you. Deu 28:15-681Th 2:162Ch 36:16-17Jdg 10:6-7Jdg 13:1Jdg 3:8Jdg 4:1-2Jdg 6:1 If you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from this good land He has given you.” 2Ki 24:20Deu 4:25-26
