Joshua 23:6 In-Context

4 See, I have allotted these remaining nations to you as an inheritance for your tribes, including all the nations I have destroyed, from the Jordan westward to the Mediterranean Sea

5 The Lord your God will force them back on your account and drive them out before you, so that you can take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.

6 "Be very strong, and continue obeying all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you do not turn from it to the right or left

7 and so that you do not associate with these nations remaining among you. Do not call on the names of their gods or make an oath to them; do not worship them or bow down to them.

8 Instead, remain faithful to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
