TSK · Joshua 1:6

The LORD appeared to Abram and said,“To your descendants I will give this land.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

“To these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of the names.

“These are the names of the men who are to allocate the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or tremble before them, for the LORD your God is the one who is going with you. He will not fail you or abandon you!”

and the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun,“Be strong and courageous, for you will take the Israelites to the land I have promised them, and I will be with you.”

I repeat, be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, for I, the LORD your God, am with you in all you do.”

Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the LORD, died off. For the LORD had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn by oath to their ancestors to give them, a land rich in milk and honey.

I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.

So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had solemnly promised to their ancestors, and they conquered it and lived in it.

“I am about to die. Be strong and become a man!

Realize now that the LORD has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

But as for you, be strong and don’t get discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”

Look how they are repaying us! They come to drive us out of our allotted land which you assigned to us!

Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD!

He said to me,“Don’t be afraid, you who are valued. Peace be to you! Be strong! Be really strong!” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened. I said,“Sir, you may speak now, for you have given me strength.”

“The LORD of Heaven’s Armies also says,‘Gather strength, you who are listening to these words today from the mouths of the prophets who were there at the founding of the house of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, so that the temple might be built.
