4Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
5Yahweh your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.
6Therefore be you very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
7that you not come 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 to them;
8but cleave to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
9For Yahweh has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
10One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Yahweh your God, he it is who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
