1. And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:
2. Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years:
3. And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you:
4. And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:
5. The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.
