Joshua 23:6 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 23:6

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is
written in the book of the law of Moses
To observe which required spiritual strength, fortitude of mind, a holy courage, a firm and fixed resolution, and particularly to destroy the Canaanites required in that book, and to abstain from all communion and fellowship with them:

that ye turn not aside therefrom, [to] the right hand or the left;
(See Gill on Joshua 1:7).

Joshua 23:6 In-Context

4 Look. I've allotted to you these remaining nations as a legacy for your tribes, along with all the nations I have destroyed. They stretch from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea
5 The LORD your God will force them out before you and remove them from you. Then you will take over their land, exactly as the LORD your God has promised you.
6 Be very strong. Carefully obey everything written in the Instruction scroll from Moses. Don't deviate a bit from it either to the right or to the left.
7 Don't have anything to do with these nations that remain with you. Don't invoke the names of their gods or take oaths by them. Don't serve them or worship them.
8 Hold on to the LORD your God instead, exactly as you've done right up to today.
