About this Chapter

In Joshua 23, Joshua gives his farewell address to the Israelites. He reminds them of all that God has done for them, from the time He brought them out of Egypt to the conquest of the Promised Land. Joshua urges the people to be faithful to God and to obey His commands, warning them of the consequences if they turn away from Him. Joshua emphasizes the importance of staying separate from the surrounding nations and not intermarrying with them or worshiping their gods. He reminds the Israelites of how God has fought for them and driven out their enemies, and encourages them to continue to trust in God's faithfulness. Finally, Joshua assures the people that if they remain faithful to God, He will continue to fulfill all His promises to them. However, if they turn away from Him and worship other gods, they will experience God's judgment and be driven out of the land. Joshua ends his address by urging the people to choose to serve the Lord wholeheartedly.
