Joshua 1
1
1Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, 2Moses 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. 3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. 4From 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 border. 5There 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. 6Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, to 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 have good success whithersoever thou goest. 8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon 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. 9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.
12And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 13Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land. 14Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them; 15until Jehovah have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising. 16And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go. 17According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 18Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

Joshua Addresses the Israelites
1After the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh said to Joshua son of Nun, the assistant#Or “servant” of Moses, saying, 2“My servant Moses is dead. Get up and cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.#Literally “sons/children of Israel” 3Every place that the soles of your feet will tread, I have given it to you, as I promised#Or “spoke” to Moses. 4From the wilderness and the Lebanon,#Literally “this Lebanon”; “Lebanon” in Hebrew means “white mountain” up to the great river, the river Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and up to the great sea in the west,#Literally “the great sea of the setting sun” will be your territory. 5No one will stand before you#Or “in your presence” all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous, for you will give the people this land as an inheritance that I swore to their ancestors#Or “fathers” to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous to observe diligently the whole law#Literally “to keep and to act according to the whole law” that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn aside from it, to the right or left, so that you may succeed wherever you go.#Literally “in all that you go” 8The scroll of this law will not depart from your mouth; you will meditate on it day and night so that you may observe diligently all that is written#Literally “to keep and to act according to all that is written” in it. For then you will succeed in your ways and prosper. 9Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”#Literally “in all that you go” 10Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11“Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions;#Hebrew “provision” in#Literally “for in still” three days you are to cross the Jordan to go possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.’ ”
12To the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, 13“Remember the word that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God is giving rest to you, and he is giving#Hebrew “he gave” you this land.’ 14Your wives, your little children, and your livestock, they will remain in the land that Moses gave to you beyond the Jordan. All of the best fighting men#Literally “All the mighty warriors of the troop” will cross armed in front of your families; they will help you 15until Yahweh gives rest to your families as well as to you. They will take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them. Then you will return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”#Literally “to the sunrise” 16And they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you will send us we will go. 17Just as we obeyed Moses, so will we obey you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses. 18Whoever rebels against your orders#Literally “defiles against your mouth” and does not obey your words according to what you commanded us will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
