- 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.

- 耶和华使以色列人安静,不与四围的一切仇敌争战,已经多日。约书亚年纪老迈,
- 就把以色列众人的长老,族长,审判官,并官长都召了来,对他们说,我年纪已经老迈。
- 耶和华你们的神因你们的缘故向那些国所行的一切事,你们亲眼看见了,因那为你们争战的是耶和华你们的神。
- 我所剪除和所剩下的各国,从约旦河起到日落之处的大海,我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业。
- 耶和华你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去,使他们离开你们,你们就必得他们的地为业,正如耶和华你们的神所应许的。
