Now after <H0310> the death <H4194> of Moses <H4872> the servant <H5650> of the LORD <H3068> it came to pass, that the LORD <H3068> spake <H0559> unto Joshua <H3091> the son <H1121> of Nun, <H5126> Moses' <H4872> minister, <H8334> saying, <H0559>
2
Moses <H4872> my servant <H5650> is dead; <H4191> now therefore arise, <H6965> go over <H5674> this Jordan, <H3383> thou, and all this people, <H5971> unto the land <H0776> which I do give <H5414> to them, [even] to the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>
3
Every place <H4725> that the sole <H3709> of your foot <H7272> shall tread <H1869> upon, that have I given <H5414> unto you, as I said <H1696> unto Moses. <H4872>
4
From the wilderness <H4057> and this Lebanon <H3844> even unto the great <H1419> river, <H5104> the river <H5104> Euphrates, <H6578> all the land <H0776> of the Hittites, <H2850> and unto the great <H1419> sea <H3220> toward the going down <H3996> of the sun, <H8121> shall be your coast. <H1366>
5
There shall not any man <H0376> be able to stand <H3320> before <H6440> thee all the days <H3117> of thy life: <H2416> as I was with Moses, <H4872> [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail <H7503> thee, nor forsake <H5800> thee.
6
Be strong <H2388> and of a good courage: <H0553> for unto this people <H5971> shalt thou divide for an inheritance <H5157> the land, <H0776> which I sware <H7650> unto their fathers <H0001> to give <H5414> them.
7
Only be thou strong <H2388> and very <H3966> courageous, <H0553> that thou mayest observe <H8104> to do <H6213> according to all the law, <H8451> which Moses <H4872> my servant <H5650> commanded <H6680> thee: turn <H5493> not from it [to] the right hand <H3225> or [to] the left, <H8040> that thou mayest prosper <H7919> whithersoever thou goest. <H3212>
8
This book <H5612> of the law <H8451> shall not depart <H4185> out of thy mouth; <H6310> but thou shalt meditate <H1897> therein day <H3119> and night, <H3915> that thou mayest observe <H8104> to do <H6213> according to all that is written <H3789> therein: for then thou shalt make thy way <H1870> prosperous, <H6743> and then thou shalt have good success. <H7919>
9
Have not I commanded <H6680> thee? Be strong <H2388> and of a good courage; <H0553> be not afraid, <H6206> neither be thou dismayed: <H2865> for the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest. <H3212>
10
Then Joshua <H3091> commanded <H6680> the officers <H7860> of the people, <H5971> saying, <H0559>
11
Pass <H5674> through <H7130> the host, <H4264> and command <H6680> the people, <H5971> saying, <H0559> Prepare <H3559> you victuals; <H6720> for within three <H7969> days <H3117> ye shall pass over <H5674> this Jordan, <H3383> to go in <H0935> to possess <H3423> the land, <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> giveth <H5414> you to possess <H3423> it.
12
And to the Reubenites, <H7206> and to the Gadites, <H1425> and to half <H2677> the tribe <H7626> of Manasseh, <H4519> spake <H0559> Joshua, <H3091> saying, <H0559>
13
Remember <H2142> the word <H1697> which Moses <H4872> the servant <H5650> of the LORD <H3068> commanded <H6680> you, saying, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> hath given you rest, <H5117> and hath given <H5414> you this land. <H0776>
14
Your wives, <H0802> your little ones, <H2945> and your cattle, <H4735> shall remain <H3427> in the land <H0776> which Moses <H4872> gave <H5414> you on this side <H5676> Jordan; <H3383> but ye shall pass <H5674> before <H6440> your brethren <H0251> armed, <H2571> all the mighty <H1368> men of valour, <H2428> and help <H5826> them;
15
Until the LORD <H3068> have given your brethren <H0251> rest, <H5117> as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed <H3423> the land <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> giveth <H5414> them: then ye shall return <H7725> unto the land <H0776> of your possession, <H3425> and enjoy <H3423> it, which 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> Joshua, <H3091> saying, <H0559> All that thou commandest <H6680> us we will do, <H6213> and whithersoever <H0834> thou sendest <H7971> us, we will go. <H3212>
17
According as we hearkened <H8085> unto Moses <H4872> in all things, so will we hearken <H8085> unto thee: only the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> be with thee, as he was with Moses. <H4872>
18
Whosoever <H0376> [he be] that doth rebel <H4784> against thy commandment, <H6310> and will not hearken <H8085> unto thy words <H1697> in all that thou commandest <H6680> him, he shall be put to death: <H4191> only be strong <H2388> and of a good courage. <H0553>
