- Now it came about after many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on every side, and Joshua was old, advanced in years,
- that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and their heads and their judges and their officers, and said to them, "I am old, advanced in years.
- "And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has been fighting for you.
- "See, I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have cut off, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.
- "The LORD your God, He will thrust them out from before you and drive them from before you; and you will possess their land, just as the LORD your God promised you.

- 耶和華使以色列人安靜、不與四圍的一切仇敵爭戰、已經多日、約書亞年紀老邁、
- 就把以色列眾人的長老、族長、審判官、並官長都召了來、對他們說、我年紀已經老邁.
- 耶和華你們的 神、因你們的緣故、向那些國所行的一切事、你們親眼看見了、因那為你們爭戰的、是耶和華你們的 神。
- 我所剪除和所剩下的各國、從約但河起到日落之處的大海、我已經拈鬮分給你們各支派為業.
- 耶和華你們的 神必將他們從你們面前趕出去、使他們離開你們、你們就必得他們的地為業、正如耶和華你們的 神所應許的。
