Strongs says the word forget here means to mislay, to behold, to advise, from want of memory or  attention not all, forget, cause to forget.                            Joshua 1:5 says, " I will not leave you nor forsake you"   Strong's says here, "Commit  self. fail, forsake, fortify, help, leave destitute, leave off, refuse,                             In Joshua 2414-28 Joshua gives the Children of Israel the choice over serving God or  serving false gods.  Even after Even after warning them they say they say they will be true to  God, but as we know not long after Joshua's death the Children of Israel turn from God and forget Him....
