Verse 1 is found in chapter 23 of Joshua. In his farewell speech, Joshua reminds Israel that God has fought for them and given the nation rest. However, he urges the people to remain faithful to the law of Moses and not associate with the remaining nations. Territorial conquest does not automatically guarantee future faithfulness. Joshua presents the main danger not as a new military coalition, but as the loss of spiritual identity through religious assimilation.

Und nach langer Zeit, da der HERR hatte Israel zur Ruhe gebracht vor allen ihren Feinden umher und Josua nun alt und wohl betagt war,
Y aconteció, pasados muchos días después que Jehová dio reposo a Israel de todos sus enemigos al contorno, que Josué, siendo viejo, y entrado en días,
Había pasado mucho tiempo desde que Jehová dio descanso a Israel de todos sus enemigos de alrededor. Josué era anciano, de edad avanzada.
Depuis longtemps l'Eternel avait donné du repos à Israël, en le délivrant de tous les ennemis qui l'entouraient. Josué était vieux, avancé en âge.
ORA, lungo tempo appresso che il Signore ebbe dato riposo a Israele da tutti i suoi nemici d’ogn’intorno, Giosuè, essendo vecchio ed attempato,
E SUCEDEU que, muitos dias depois que o SENHOR dera repouso a Israel de todos os seus inimigos em redor, e sendo Josué já velho e entrado em dias,
耶和華使 以色列 人從四圍所有的仇敵中得享安寧,已經有很多日子了。 約書亞 年紀老邁,
