Exegesis

The verse opens with the infinitive absolute yāḏōaʿ {יָד֙וֹעַ֙ | yāḏōaʿ} ‘knowing’ immediately followed by the imperfect tēdă‘û {תֵּֽדְע֔וּ | tēdă‘û} ‘you will know’, an emphatic formula that establishes certainty.

In context — Joshua 23:13

Know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you, but they will become for you a snare , and a trap, a scourge at your sides and thorns in your eyes until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
