American Standard Version

Joshua 23:7-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;

8. but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

9. For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.

10. One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.

11. Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.

12. Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;
