Joshua 1

1After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide:H310H4194H4872H5650H3068H3068H559H3091H1121H5126H4872H8334H5592"Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites.H4872H5650H4191H6965H5674H3383H5971H776H5414H1121H34783I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.H4725H3709H7272H1869H5414H1696H48724Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Great Sea on the west.H4057H3844H1419H5104H5104H6578H776H2850H1419H3220H3996H8121H13665No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.H376H3320H6440H3117H2416H4872H7503H58006"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.H2388H553H5971H5157H776H7650H1H54147Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.H2388H3966H553H8104H6213H8451H4872H5650H6680H5493H3225H8040H7919H32128Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.H5612H8451H4185H6310H1897H3119H3915H8104H6213H3789H6743H1870H6743H79199Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."H6680H2388H553H6206H2865H3068H430H321210So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:H3091H6680H7860H5971H55911"Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your supplies ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own.'"H5674H7130H4264H6680H5971H559H3559H6720H7969H3117H5674H3383H935H3423H776H3068H430H5414H342312But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,H7206H1425H2677H7626H4519H559H3091H55913"Remember the command that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and has granted you this land.'H2142H1697H4872H5650H3068H6680H559H3068H430H5117H5414H77614Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, fully armed, must cross over ahead of your brothers. You are to help your brothersH802H2945H4735H3427H776H4872H5414H5676H3383H5674H6440H251H2571H1368H2428H582615until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise."H3068H5117H251H5117H3423H776H3068H430H5414H7725H776H3425H3423H4872H3068H5650H5414H5676H3383H4217H812116Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.H6030H3091H559H6680H6213H834H7971H321217Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.H8085H4872H8085H3068H430H487218Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey your words, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!"H376H4784H6310H8085H1697H6680H4191H2388H553
