Quote #10
For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no one has been able to withstand you to this day. (NRSV 23:9)
For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day. (KJV 23:9)
The phrase "this day" is a constant in the Book of Joshua. Although there is always a great focus in history on large quantities of time, Joshua constantly reminds the reader to focus on one day at a time. In the hustle and bustle world we live in today, that's a pleasant piece of advice.
