Contradiction with Exodus 34:14
While Joshua 23:7 advises Israelites not to mention names of other gods or swear by them, Exodus 34:14 promotes worship and loyalty strictly to God, ensuring no worship of other gods, aligning but also extending the approach beyond mention to worship.

Contradiction with 2 Kings 17:35
This verse also instructs not to fear other gods, paralleling Joshua 23:7, but further emphasizes not serving them, highlighting a broader prohibitive context.

Commands the Israelites to have no other gods before Him, parallel to the avoidance in Joshua 23:7 but broader, emphasizing exclusive devotion.
Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Clearly states there should be no foreign god among the Israelites, matching the prohibitive spirit of Joshua 23:7 while expressly prohibiting any foreign deity's presence.
Psalm 81:9: There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
