* And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah , that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun , Moses ' attendant , saying , * Moses my servant is dead ; and now , rise up , go over this Jordan , thou and all this people , into the land which I give unto them , to the children of Israel . * Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you , as I said unto Moses . * From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river , the river Euphrates , the whole land of the Hittites , to the great sea , toward the going down of the sun , shall be your border . * None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life : as I was with Moses , so will I be with thee ; I will not leave thee , neither will I forsake thee . * Be strong and courageous , for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them . * Only be strong and very courageous , that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee . Turn not from it to the right or to the left , that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest . * This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth ; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night , that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein ; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways , and then shalt thou prosper . * Have I not commanded thee : Be strong and courageous ? Be not afraid , neither be dismayed ; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest . * And Joshua commanded the officers of the people , saying , * Go through the midst of the camp , and command the people , saying , Prepare yourselves victuals , for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan , that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it . * And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua , saying , * Remember the word that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you , saying , Jehovah your God has given you rest and has given you this land . * Your wives , your little ones , and your cattle shall abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan , but ye , all the valiant men , shall go over in array before your brethren and help them , * until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you , and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them ; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it , which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising . * And they answered Joshua , saying , All that thou hast commanded us will we do , and whither thou shalt send us will we go . * According as we hearkened to Moses in all things , so will we hearken to thee ; only may Jehovah thy God be with thee as he was with Moses . * Every one that is rebellious against thy commandment and hearkeneth not to thy words in everything that thou commandest us , shall be put to death . Only be strong and courageous .
