Joshua 23 Bible Study Guide — Summary, Themes & Outline

Joshua 23 records the first of Joshua's two farewell speeches. He summons the leaders of Israel and reminds them of everything God has done for them. He commands them to be very strong to keep the law, to cling to the Lord, and to avoid the nations remaining in the land. He warns that if they turn aside and serve other gods, the Lord's anger will burn against them, and they will perish from the good land.
