Contextual Overview
1 And it came to pass, after many days, when Yahweh had given rest unto Israel, from all their enemies round about, - and, Joshua, had become old, advanced in days, 2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, - and said unto them, I, am old, advanced in days; 3 but, ye, have seen - all that Yahweh your God hath done unto all those nations, because of you, - for, Yahweh your God, is he that hath fought for you. 4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations which remain, as an inheritance, for your tribes, - from the Jordan, and all the nations which I have cut off, even unto the great sea, at the going in of the sun. 5 But, Yahweh your God - he, will thrust them out from before you, and drive them away out of your sight, - so shall ye possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke unto you. 6 Therefore must ye be very firm to observe and to do all that is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, - so as not to turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left; 7 so as not to go in among these nations, these which remain with you, - and, with the name of their gods, shall ye neither make memorial nor put on oath, and neither serve them, - nor bow down to them. 8 But, unto Yahweh your God, must ye cleave, - as, ye have done until this day; 9 therefore hath Yahweh dispossessed, from before you, nations great and strong, - but, as for you, not a man hath stood before you, until this day. 10 One man of you, can chase a thousand, - for, Yahweh your God, is he that fighteth for you, as he spake to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord your God he shall expel them from before you,.... That is, such of them as yet remained among them:
and drive them from out of your sight; the same thing expressed by different words, for the confirmation of it:
and ye shall possess their land, as the Lord your God hath promised unto you; all which is to be understood on condition of their good behaviour towards the Lord, and obedience to his commands; by which tenure they held the possession of the land when put into it, and for their disobedience did not possess the whole.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 23:5. And drive them - out - and ye shall possess — The same Hebrew word ×רש yarash is used here to signify to expel from an inheritance, and to succeed those thus expelled. Ye shall disinherit them from your sight, and ye shall inherit their land.
