1 N ow it came to pass afterH310 the deathH4194 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of Jehovah,H3068 that JehovahH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 Moses'H4872 minister,H8334 saying,H559
2 MosesH4872 my servantH5650 is dead;H4191 now therefore arise,H6965 go overH5674 this Jordan,H3383 thou, and all this people,H5971 unto the landH776 which I do giveH5414 to them, even to the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
3 Every placeH4725 that the soleH3709 of your footH7272 shall tread upon,H1869 to you have I givenH5414 it, as I spakeH1696 unto Moses.H4872
4 From the wilderness,H4057 and this Lebanon,H3844 even unto the greatH1419 river,H5104 the riverH5104 Euphrates,H6578 all the landH776 of the Hittites,H2850 and unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the going downH3996 of the sun,H8121 shall be your border.H1366
5 There shall not any manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee all the daysH3117 of thy life:H2416 as I was with Moses,H4872 so I will be with thee; I will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.
6 Be strongH2388 and of good courage;H553 for thou shalt cause this peopleH5971 to inheritH5157 the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them.
7 Only be strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageous,H553 to observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the law,H8451 which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the left,H8040 that thou mayest have good successH7919 whithersoever thou goest.H3212
8 This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouth,H6310 but thou shalt meditateH1897 thereon dayH3119 and night,H3915 that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperous,H6743 and then thou shalt have good success.H7919
9 Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of good courage;H553 be not affrighted,H6206 neither be thou dismayed:H2865 for JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goest.H3212
10 Then JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the officersH7860 of the people,H5971 saying,H559
11 PassH5674 throughH7130 the midst of the camp,H4264 and commandH6680 the people,H5971 saying,H559 PrepareH3559 you victuals;H6720 for within threeH7969 daysH3117 ye are to pass overH5674 this Jordan,H3383 to go inH935 to possessH3423 the land,H776 which JehovahH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 you to possessH3423 it.
12 And to the Reubenites,H7206 and to the Gadites,H1425 and to the half -H2677 tribeH7626 of Manasseh,H4519 spakeH559 Joshua,H3091 saying,H559
13 RememberH2142 the wordH1697 which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of JehovahH3068 commandedH6680 you, saying,H559 JehovahH3068 your GodH430 giveth you rest,H5117 and will giveH5414 you this land.H776
14 Your wives,H802 your little ones,H2945 and your cattle,H4735 shall abideH3427 in the landH776 which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 you beyondH5676 the Jordan;H3383 but ye shall passH5674 over beforeH6440 your brethrenH251 armed,H2571 all the mightyH1368 men of valor,H2428 and shall helpH5826 them;
15 until JehovahH3068 have givenH5117 your brethrenH251 rest,H5117 as [he hath given]H5117 you, and they also have possessedH3423 the landH776 which JehovahH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 them: then ye shall returnH7725 unto the landH776 of your possession,H3425 and possess it, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of JehovahH3068 gaveH5414 you beyondH5676 the JordanH3383 toward the sunrising.H4217
16 And they answeredH6030 Joshua,H3091 saying,H559 All that thou hast commandedH6680 us we will do,H6213 and whithersoeverH834 thou sendestH7971 us we will go.H3212
17 According as we hearkenedH8085 unto MosesH4872 in all things, so will we hearkenH8085 unto thee: only JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 be with thee, as he was with Moses.H4872
18 WhosoeverH376 he be that shall rebelH4784 against thy commandment,H6310 and shall not hearkenH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 in all that thou commandestH6680 him, he shall be put to death:H4191 only be strongH2388 and of good courage.H553
