Joshua 23:6

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses ,.... To observe which required spiritual strength, fortitude of mind, a holy courage, a firm and fixed resolution, and particularly to destroy the Canaanites required in that book, and to abstain from all communion and fellowship with them:

that ye turn not aside therefrom, to the right hand or the left ; See Gill on Joshua 1:7 .
