## Joshua 23:1-2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/joshua/23/1) And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old *and* stricken in age.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/joshua/23/2) And Joshua called for all Israel, *and* for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old *and* stricken in age:
 
 [3 ](/kjv/joshua/23/3) And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God *is* he that hath fought for you.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/joshua/23/4) Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/joshua/23/5) And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
 
[Joshua 22](/kjv/joshua/22) [Joshua 24](/kjv/joshua/24)
