Joshua 23:16
When ye have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Study Note
Joshua's farewell address warns that if Israel transgresses the covenant by serving other gods, 'the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.' The warning connects three elements — transgression, idolatry, and loss of land — that form the Deuteronomistic theology of covenant consequence running through Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The 'good land' (tov ha-adama) that will be lost echoes the promises of Deuteronomy 8 where the good land itself could become a snare. The historical trajectory of the northern kingdom's fall (2 Kings 17) and Judah's exile (2 Kings 25) validates the warning's content in the eyes of the tradition that preserved and shaped these texts.
