Joshua:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ,
*
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 .
*
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon ,
that have I given unto you ,
as I said unto Moses .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people ,
saying ,
*
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 .
*
And to the Reubenites ,
and to the Gadites ,
and to half the tribe of Manasseh ,
spake Joshua ,
saying ,
*
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 .
*
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 valour ,
and help them ;
*
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 .
*
And they answered Joshua ,
saying ,
All that thou commandest us we will do ,
and whithersoever thou sendest us ,
we will go .
*
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 .
*
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 .
