Exegesis
The temporal boundary ʿad-ʼavādkhem {עַד־אֲבָדְכֶ֗ם | ʿad-ʼavādkhem} ‘until your perishing’ ties the warning to Israel’s fate, and hāʾădāmah hattôvāh hazzōṯ {הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת | hāʾădāmah hattôvāh hazzōṯ} ‘this good land’ grounds the threat in the promised inheritance. English syntax preserves Hebrew parallelism and emphatic structure.
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.
