Joshua 24:23

Context
24:23 Joshua said, 8  “Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to 9  the Lord God of Israel.”

1 sn Joshua quotes the Lord’s words in vv. 2b-13 (note that the Lord speaks in the first person in these verses); in vv. 14-15 Joshua himself exhorts the people (note the third person references to the Lord).

2 tn Heb “fear.”

3 tn Or “and serve.”

4 tn Heb “your fathers.”

5 tn Or “served.”

6 tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity; see v. 3.

7 tn Or “and serve.”

8 tn The words “Joshua said” are supplied for clarification.

9 tn Heb “bend your heart toward.” The term לֵבָב (levav, “heart”) probably here refers to the people’s volition or will.
