Joshua 24:23

“Now therefore put away, [said he], etc.] Which last words are rightly supplied, for they are the words of Joshua: the strange gods which [are] among you; not their private notions and secret sentiments that some of them had imbibed in favour of idols, and the worship of them, as Ben Gersom thinks; but, as the Targum expresses it, “the idols of the Gentiles;” either such as they had brought out of Egypt, or had found among the plunder of the Canaanites, and had secretly retained; or, as others think, their “penates”, or household gods, they had privately kept and worshipped, such as those that were in Jacob’s family, which he caused to be delivered to him, and which he hid under an oak in…”

“Strange gods - Those idols which you either brought out of Egypt, or have taken in Canaan, which some of you keep contrary to God's command, whether for the preciousness of the matter, or rather for some secret inclination to superstition and idolatry. Joshua 24:25”

“24:23 Some Israelites had continued to worship idols since they left Egypt and after experiencing forty years of God’s love and power. Joshua directed them to destroy the idols and turn their hearts to the Lord to serve him alone.”
