Joshua 23:2
1 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,
he summoned all Israel, including its elders, leaders, judges, and officers. “I am old and well along in years,” he said,
3 “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.
4 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.
