Contextual Overview
1 And it happened many days after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, that Joshua was old, going on in days. 2 And Joshua called for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its officers, and said to them, I have become old, I have gone on in days; 3 and you have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God was He who was fighting for you. 4 Behold, I have caused to fall to you these nations that are left to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea, toward the setting of the sun. 5 And Jehovah your God will thrust them out from before you, and will dispossess them from before you, and you shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God has spoken to you. 6 And you shall be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it to the right or to the left; 7 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and that you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor shall you swear, nor shall you serve them, nor shall you bow yourselves to them. 8 But you shall cling to Jehovah your God, as you have done until today. 9 And Jehovah has dispossessed from before you great and mighty nations. As for you no one has stood before you until today. 10 One man of you shall pursue a thousand; for Jehovah your God is He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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;

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 23:6. Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do, &c. — It requires no small courage to keep a sound creed in the midst of scoffers, and not less to maintain a godly practice among the profane and profligate.
That is written in the book — By the word of God alone his followers are bound. Nothing is to be received as an article of faith which God has not spoken.
