Exegesis
The phrase bagoyim {בַּגּוֹיִם | ba·gō·yim} ‘among the nations’ is specified by the demonstrative haeleh {הָאֵלֶּה | hā·ʾê·le·h} ‘these’ and the Niphal participle hanisharim {הַנִּשְׁאָרִים | han·niš·ʾā·rîm} ‘who remain’, with a second haeleh {הָאֵלֶּה | hā·ʾê·le·h} for reinforcement.
In context — Joshua 23:7
So you must not mingle with these nations that remain among you; you must not invoke the name of their gods , nor swear by them, nor serve them, nor bow down to them.
