AMP Footnotes
Lit from round about.
Lit and he had entered days.
All through the time of Joshua’s leadership he kept giving as his statement of faith the fact that the LORD had spoken, the LORD had promised.
Lit spoke to.
The word love is sometimes used to express the covenant relationship between Israel and God. Everything depended on whether or not Israel would continue to be faithful to the covenant established by God. Joshua knew the trap the pagan nations would be to Israel, so he proposed three guidelines: first, there must be obedience to God’s word (23:6); second, there must be a diligent separation from the Canaanite nations (23:7); finally, there must be a dependence on the LORD with heartfelt love (23:8-11).
Lit come to.
