1 | Now
after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD
spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, | 2 | Moses my servant is dead; now therefore
arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
give to them, even to the children of Israel. | 3 | Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,
that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. |
4 | From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the
great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the
great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. |
5 | There shall not any man be able to
stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be
with thee:
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Heb 13:5
Deut 31:6,

6 | Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this
people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their
fathers to give them. | 7 |
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from
it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever
thou goest. | 8 | This book
of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have
good success. | 9 | Have not
I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be
thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. |
10 | Then Joshua commanded the
officers of the people, saying, |
11 | Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare
you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to
possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. |
12 | And to the Reubenites, and to
the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, |
13 | Remember the word which Moses
the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you
rest, and hath given you this land. |
14 | Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in
the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before
your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them; |
15 | Until the LORD have given your
brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land
which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your
possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side
Jordan toward the sunrising. | 16
| And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will
do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. |
17 | According as we hearkened unto Moses in all
things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he
was with Moses. | 18 |
Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken
unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only
be strong and of a good courage. |
