Yosua 23:7

23:7 or associate with these nations that remain near ¹  you. You must not invoke or make solemn declarations by the names of their gods! ²  You must not worship ³  or bow down to them!

Zakharia 13:2

13:2 And also on that day,” says the Lord who rules over all, “I will remove ⁴  the names of the idols from the land and they will never again be remembered. Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

[23:7]  ¹ tn Heb “with.”

[23:7]  ² tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

[23:7]  ³ tn Or “serve.”

[13:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “cut off” (so NRSV); NAB “destroy”; NIV “banish.”
