[1] Now after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh,§ Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying, [2] “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go across this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land which I am giving to them, even to the children of Israel. [3] I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border. [5] No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you. [6] “Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. [7] Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. [8] This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. [9] Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God§ is with you wherever you go.” [10] Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, [11] “Pass through the middle of the camp, and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess.’” [12] Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying, [13] “Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God gives you rest, and will give you this land. [14] Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them [15] until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’” [16] They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. [17] Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses. [18] Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

The Promised Land

[1] Now after H310 the death H4194 of Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the Lord H3068 it came to pass, H1961 that the Lord H3068 spake H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 Moses’ H4872 minister, H8334 saying, H559 [2] Moses H4872 my servant H5650 is dead; H4191 now therefore H6258 arise, H6965 go over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan, H3383 thou, H859 and all H3605 this H2088 people, H5971 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I H595 do give H5414 to them, even to the children H1121 of Israel. H3478 [3] Every H3605 place H4725 that H834 the sole H3709 of your foot H7272 shall tread H1869 upon, that have I given H5414 unto you, as H834 I said H1696 unto H413 Moses. H4872 [4] From the wilderness H4057 and this H2088 Lebanon H3844 even unto H5704 the great H1419 river, H5104 the river H5104 Euphrates, H6578 all H3605 the land H776 of the Hittites, H2850 and unto H5704 the great H1419 sea H3220 toward the going down H3996 of the sun, H8121 shall be H1961 your coast. H1366 [5] There shall H3320 not H3808 any man H376 be able to stand H3320 before thee H6440 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life: H2416 as H834 I was H1961 with H5973 Moses, H4872 so I will be H1961 with thee: H5973 I will H7503 not H3808 fail thee, H7503 nor H3808 forsake thee. H5800 [6] Be strong H2388 and of a good courage: H553 for H3588 H853 unto this H2088 people H5971 shalt H5157 thou H859 divide for an inheritance H5157 H853 the land, H776§ which H834 I sware H7650 unto their fathers H1 to give H5414 them. [7] Only H7535 be thou strong H2388 and very H3966 courageous, H553 that thou mayest observe H8104 to do H6213 according to all H3605 the law, H8451 which H834 Moses H4872 my servant H5650 commanded thee: H6680 turn H5493 not H408 from it H4480 to the right hand H3225 or H8040 to the left, H8040 that H4616 thou mayest prosper H7919§ whithersoever H3605 H834 thou goest. H3212 [8] This H2088 book H5612 of the law H8451 shall H4185 not H3808 depart H4185 out of thy mouth; H6310 but thou shalt meditate H1897 therein day H3119 and night, H3915 that H4616 thou mayest observe H8104 to do H6213 according to all H3605 that is written H3789 therein: for H3588 then H227 thou shalt make H6743 H853 thy way H1870 prosperous, H6743 and then H227 thou shalt have good success. H7919 [9] Have H6680 not H3808 I commanded thee? H6680 Be strong H2388 and of a good courage; H553 be H6206 not H408 afraid, H6206 neither H408 be thou dismayed: H2865 for H3588 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 is with thee H5973 whithersoever H3605 H834 thou goest. H3212 [10] Then Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 H853 the officers H7860 of the people, H5971 saying, H559 [11] Pass H5674 through H7130 the host, H4264 and command H6680 H853 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Prepare H3559 you victuals; H6720 for H3588 within H5750 three H7969 days H3117 ye H859 shall pass over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan, H3383 to go in H935 to possess H3423 H853 the land, H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 giveth H5414 you to possess it. H3423 [12] And to the Reubenites, H7206 and to the Gadites, H1425 and to half H2677 the tribe H7626 of Manasseh, H4519 spake H559 Joshua, H3091 saying, H559 [13] Remember H2142 H853 the word H1697 which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 you, H853 saying, H559 The Lord H3068 your God H430 hath given H5117 you rest, H5117 and hath given H5414 you H853 this H2063 land. H776 [14] Your wives, H802 your little ones, H2945 and your cattle, H4735 shall remain H3427 in the land H776 which H834 Moses H4872 gave H5414 you on this side H5676 Jordan; H3383 but ye H859 shall pass H5674 before H6440 your brethren H251 armed, H2571§ all H3605 the mighty men H1368 of valour, H2428 and help H5826 them; H853 [15] until H5704 H834 the Lord H3068 have given H5117 your brethren H251 rest, H5117 as he hath given you, and they H1992 also H1571 have possessed H3423 H853 the land H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 your God H430 giveth H5414 them: then ye shall return H7725 unto the land H776 of your possession, H3425 and enjoy H3423 it, H853 which H834 Moses H4872 the Lord’s H3068 servant H5650 gave H5414 you on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 toward the sunrising. H4217 H8121 [16] And they answered H6030 H853 Joshua, H3091 saying, H559 All H3605 that H834 thou commandest us H6680 we will do, H6213 and whithersoever H413 H3605 H834 thou sendest us, H7971 we will go. H3212 [17] According as H834 we hearkened H8085 unto H413 Moses H4872 in all things, H3605 so H3651 will we hearken H8085 unto thee: H413 only H7535 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 be H1961 with thee, H5973 as H834 he was H1961 with H5973 Moses. H4872 [18] Whosoever H3605 H376 he be that H834 doth rebel H4784 H853 against thy commandment, H6310 and will H8085 not H3808 hearken H8085 H853 unto thy words H1697 in all H3605 that H834 thou commandest him, H6680 he shall be put to death: H4191 only H7535 be strong H2388 and of a good courage.
