One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 23 of Joshua. Joshua recalls Israel’s victories and states that one Israelite can pursue a thousand because the Lord fights for His people. But he immediately warns that association with the remaining nations can become a snare. The same God who guarantees protection requires exclusive faithfulness. The passage directly connects Israel’s future security with covenant obedience and warns that unfaithfulness will have consequences for remaining in the land.

Euer einer jagt tausend; denn der HERR, euer Gott, streitet für euch, wie er euch geredet hat.
Un varón de vosotros perseguirá a mil: porque Jehová vuestro Dios pelea por vosotros, como él os dijo.
Un solo hombre de ustedes perseguirá a mil, porque Jehová su Dios es quien pelea por ustedes, como les ha dicho.
Un seul d'entre vous en poursuivait mille; car l'Eternel, votre Dieu, combattait pour vous, comme il vous l'a dit.
Un solo uomo d’infra voi ne perseguiterà mille; perciocchè il Signore Iddio vostro è quel che combatte per voi; come egli ve ne ha parlato
Um só homem dentre vós perseguirá a mil; pois é o SENHOR vosso Deus que peleja por vós, como já vos tem falado.
你們一人必追趕千人,因為耶和華-你們的上帝照他向你們所應許的,為你們作戰。
