It reflects the natural order of life and death, as seen in other biblical figures like David (<a href="/1_kings/2-2.htm">1 Kings 2:2</a>). Joshua's acknowledgment of his mortality underscores the transient nature of human leadership and the enduring faithfulness of God.and you know with all your heart and soul This emphasizes the deep, internal conviction and understanding of the Israelites. The heart and soul together represent the entirety of one's being in Hebrew thought, indicating a comprehensive and sincere acknowledgment of God's faithfulness. This phrase calls the Israelites to remember and internalize their experiences of God's promises being fulfilled.that not one of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed This statement highlights God's unwavering faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. The "good promises" refer to the blessings and victories promised to the Israelites, such as the conquest of Canaan (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>). This assurance of God's reliability is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, reinforcing the trustworthiness of His word.Everything was fulfilled for you This phrase confirms the complete realization of God's promises to Israel, particularly regarding the land and their victories over enemies. It serves as a testament to God's power and faithfulness, encouraging the Israelites to continue trusting in Him. This fulfillment is a precursor to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus Christ, who embodies the completion of God's redemptive plan.not one promise has failed Reiterating the previous assurance, this phrase underscores the perfection and reliability of God's word. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the certainty of His plans. This assurance is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are reminded of the certainty of God's promises through Christ (<a href="/2_corinthians/1-20.htm">2 Corinthians 1:20</a>).

This is a good instance of the habit of repetition so common to Hebrew writers. It is to be remembered that they had no italics, no stops, and, owing to the want of copiousness in their language, a great want generally of the means possessed in more modern languages of emphasizing their words. They, therefore, had recourse to what is still a favourite rhetorical artifice, the practice of repetition. <a href="/commentaries/joshua/23-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Now behold, וְהִנֵּ֨ה (wə·hin·nêh) Conjunctive waw | Interjection <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo! behold! today הַיּ֔וֹם (hay·yō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day I אָנֹכִ֤י (’ā·nō·ḵî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_595.htm">Strong's 595: </a> I am going הוֹלֵךְ֙ (hō·w·lêḵ) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> To go, come, walk the way בְּדֶ֖רֶךְ (bə·ḏe·reḵ) Preposition-b | Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1870.htm">Strong's 1870: </a> A road, a course of life, mode of action of all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the earth, הָאָ֑רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land and you know וִידַעְתֶּ֞ם (wî·ḏa‘·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know with all בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every your heart לְבַבְכֶ֣ם (lə·ḇaḇ·ḵem) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3824.htm">Strong's 3824: </a> Inner man, mind, will, heart [and] וּבְכָל־ (ū·ḇə·ḵāl) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every soul נַפְשְׁכֶ֗ם (nap̄·šə·ḵem) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion that כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction not לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no one אֶחָ֜ד (’e·ḥāḏ) Number - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> United, one, first of מִמֶּ֖נּוּ (mim·men·nū) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of the good הַטּוֹבִ֗ים (haṭ·ṭō·w·ḇîm) Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2896.htm">Strong's 2896: </a> Pleasant, agreeable, good promises דָּבָ֨ר (dā·ḇār) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause the LORD יְהוָ֤ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel your God אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֙ (’ĕ·lō·hê·ḵem) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative made דִּבֶּ֜ר (dib·ber) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue to you עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם (‘ă·lê·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against has failed. נָפַל֩ (nā·p̄al) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5307.htm">Strong's 5307: </a> To fall, lie Everything מִכֹּ֣ל ׀ (mik·kōl) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every was fulfilled בָּ֣אוּ (bā·’ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go for you;
