Joshua 23:8 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The Lord gave Israel peace from their enemies around them. The Lord made Israel safe. Many years passed, and Joshua became very old.
2 At this time Joshua called a meeting of all the older leaders, heads of families, judges, and officers of the Israelites. Joshua said, "I have grown very old.
3 You have seen what the Lord did to our enemies. He did this to help us. The Lord your God fought for you.
4 Remember that I told you that your people could have the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea in the west. I promised to give you that land, but you don't control it yet. I have taken the land away from those nations, but they are still living there.
5 But the Lord your God will force the people living there to leave. You will take that land. The Lord will force them to leave. The Lord your God promised to do this for you.
6 "You must be careful to obey everything the Lord has commanded us. Obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses. Don't turn away from that law.
7 There are still some people living among us who are not Israelites. They worship their own gods. Don't become friends with them. Don't serve or worship their gods.
8 You must continue to follow the Lord your God. You have done this in the past, and you must continue to do it.
9 "The Lord helped you defeat many great and powerful nations. He forced them to leave. No nation has been able to defeat you.
10 With his help, one man from Israel could defeat 1000 enemy soldiers, because the Lord your God fights for you, as he promised.
11 So you must continue to love the Lord your God.
12 "Don't stop following the Lord. Don't become friends with these other people who are not part of Israel. Don't marry any of their people. But if you do become friends with these people,
13 then the Lord your God will not help you defeat your enemies. They will become like a trap for you. They will cause you pain—like smoke and dust in your eyes. And you will be forced to leave this good land. The Lord your God gave you this land. But you can lose it if you don't obey this command.
14 "It is almost time for me to die. You know and really believe that the Lord has done many great things for you. You know that the Lord your God has not failed in any of his promises. He has kept every promise that he has made to us.
15 Every good promise that the Lord your God made to us has come true. But in the same way, the Lord will make his other promises come true. He promised that if you do wrong, bad things will happen to you. He promised that he will force you to leave this good land that the Lord your God has given to you.
16 This will happen if you refuse to keep your agreement with the Lord your God. You will lose this land if you go and serve other gods. You must not worship those other gods. If you do, the Lord will become very angry with you. Then you will quickly be forced to leave this good land that he gave you."
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS a long H7227 AMP time H3117 after H310 PREP that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS had given rest H5117 unto Israel H3478 from all H3605 M-CMS their enemies H341 round about H5439 M-ADV , that Joshua H3091 waxed old H2204 and stricken H935 VQPMS in age H3117 .
2 And Joshua H3091 called H7121 W-VQY3MS for all H3605 L-CMS Israel H3478 , and for their elders H2205 , and for their heads H7218 , and for their judges H8199 , and for their officers H7860 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , I H589 PPRO-1MS am old H2204 and stricken H935 in age H3117 :
3 And ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP have seen H7200 all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 hath done H6213 VQQ3MS unto all H3605 NMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 D-NMP because H6440 of you ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 is he H1931 PPRO-3MS that hath fought H3898 for you .
4 Behold H7200 , I have divided unto you by lot H5307 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 D-NMP that remain H7604 , to be an inheritance H5159 for your tribes H7626 , from H4480 PREP Jordan H3383 D-EFS , with all H3605 W-CMS the nations H1471 D-NMP that H834 RPRO I have cut off H3772 , even unto the great H1419 D-AMS sea H3220 westward H3996 .
5 And the LORD H3068 W-EDS your God H430 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall expel H1920 them from before H6440 you , and drive H3423 them from out of your sight H6440 ; and ye shall possess H3423 their land H776 , as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 hath promised H1696 VPQ3MS unto you .
6 Be ye therefore very H3966 ADV courageous H2388 to keep H8104 L-VQFC and to do H6213 all H3605 NMS that is written H3789 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 CFS of Moses H4872 , that ye turn H5493 VQI2MS not H1115 L-NPAR aside H5493 VQI2MS therefrom H4480 M-PREP-3MS to the right hand H3225 NFS or to the left H8040 ;
7 That ye come H935 not H1115 L-NPAR among these H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 , these H428 D-DPRO-3MP that remain H7604 among you ; neither H3808 NADV make mention H2142 of the name H8034 of their gods H430 , nor H3808 W-NADV cause to swear H7650 by them , neither H3808 W-NADV serve H5647 them , nor H3808 W-NADV bow yourselves H7812 unto them :
8 But H518 PART cleave H1692 unto the LORD H3068 your God H430 , as H834 K-RPRO ye have done H6213 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
9 For the LORD H3068 EDS hath driven out H3423 from before H6440 you great H1419 AMP nations H1471 NMP and strong H6099 : but as for you H859 W-PPRO-2MP , no H3808 NADV man H376 NMS hath been able to stand H5975 before H6440 you unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
10 One H259 MMS man H376 NMS of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you shall chase H7291 a thousand H505 MMS : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS it is that fighteth H3898 for you , as H834 K-RPRO he hath promised H1696 VPQ3MS you .
11 Take good H3966 ADV heed H8104 therefore unto yourselves H5315 , that ye love H157 the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 .
12 Else H3588 CONJ if H518 PART ye do in any wise go back H7725 , and cleave H1692 unto the remnant H3499 of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 D-NMP , even these H428 D-DPRO-3MP that remain H7604 among H854 PART-2MP you , and shall make marriages H2859 with them , and go in H935 unto them , and they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP to you :
13 Know for a certainty H3045 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 will no H3808 NADV more H3254 drive out H3423 any of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 D-NMP from before H6440 you ; but they shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS snares H6341 and traps H4170 unto you , and scourges H7850 in your sides H6654 , and thorns H6976 in your eyes H5869 , until H5704 PREP ye perish H6 from off H5921 M-PREP this H2063 D-DFS good H2896 land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 hath given H5414 VQQ3MS you .
14 And , behold H2009 IJEC , this day H3117 D-AMS I H595 PPRO-1MS am going H1980 VQPMS the way H1870 B-NMS of all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS : and ye know H3045 in all H3605 NMS your hearts H3824 and in all H3605 NMS your souls H5315 CFS-2MP , that H3588 CONJ not H3808 ADV one H259 MMS thing H1697 VQPMS hath failed H5307 of all H3605 NMS the good H2896 things H1697 AMP which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 spoke H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 PREP-2MP you ; all H3605 NMS are come to pass H935 VQQ3MP unto you , and not H3808 ADV one H259 ONUM thing H1697 VQPMS hath failed H5307 thereof H4480 M-PREP-3MS .
15 Therefore it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that as H834 RPRO all H3605 NMS good H2896 D-NMS things H1697 D-NMS are come H935 VQPMS upon H5921 M-PREP you , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 promised H1696 VPQ3MS you ; so H3651 ADV shall the LORD H3068 EDS bring H935 upon H5921 M-PREP you all H3605 NMS evil H7451 D-AMS things H1697 D-NMS , until H5704 PREP he have destroyed H8045 you from off H5921 M-PREP this H2063 D-DFS good H2896 land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 hath given H5414 VQQ3MS you .
16 When ye have transgressed H5674 the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 NAME-4MP , which H834 RPRO he commanded H6680 VPQ3MS you , and have gone H1980 and served H5647 other H312 AMP gods H430 EDP , and bowed yourselves H7812 to them ; then shall the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS be kindled H2734 against you , and ye shall perish H6 quickly H4120 from off H5921 M-PREP the good H2896 land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO he hath given H5414 VQQ3MS unto you .
