Joshua 22:31

22:31 Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, said to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the Manassehites, 1  “Today we know that the Lord is among us, because you have not disobeyed the Lord in this. 2  Now 3  you have rescued the Israelites from the Lord’s judgment.” 4 

Joshua 23:13-14

23:13 know for certain that the Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; 5  they will be a whip that tears 6  your sides and thorns that blind 7  your eyes until you disappear 8  from this good land the Lord your God gave you.

23:14 “Look, today I am about to die. 9  You know with all your heart and being 10  that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized – not one promise is unfulfilled! 11
