Josué 23:8

8 mas al SEÑOR vuestro Dios os aferraréis, como habéis hecho hasta hoy

Josué 23:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 23:8

But cleave unto the Lord your God
To his word, worship, and ordinances; externally, by close adherence to them, and strict observation of them; and internally, by strong affection to him, hope, trust, and confidence in him, expectation of all good things from him, and constant application to him for help in all times of need, and a fixed dependence on him:

as ye have done unto this day;
that is, since they came into the land of Canaan, and had been under the government of Joshua; for otherwise, while in the wilderness, they frequently revolted from God, and murmured against him; and this is to be understood not of individuals, who doubtless were guilty of various failings and sins, but of the whole body, and with respect to any notorious offence, particularly idolatry, which they had not fallen into since they came into the land of Canaan, and had very lately shown great zeal against it; not only the tribes on this side, but those on the other side Jordan, as the preceding chapter largely relates.

Josué 23:8 In-Context

6 Esforzaos pues mucho a guardar y hacer todo lo que está escrito en el libro de la ley de Moisés, sin apartaros de ello ni a la diestra ni a la siniestra

7 que no entrareis a estos gentiles que han quedado con vosotros; no hagáis mención ni juréis por el nombre de sus dioses, ni los honréis, ni os inclinéis a ellos

8 mas al SEÑOR vuestro Dios os aferraréis, como habéis hecho hasta hoy

9 Pues ha echado el SEÑOR delante de vosotros grandes y fuertes gentiles, y hasta hoy nadie ha podido parar delante de vuestro rostro

10 Un varón de vosotros ha perseguido a mil; porque el SEÑOR vuestro Dios, él mismo ha peleado por vosotros, como él os dijo
