Now after
the death
of Moses
the servant
of the LORD
it came to pass, that the LORD
spake
unto Joshua
the son
of Nun,
Moses'
minister,
saying,
Moses
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.
Every place
that the sole
of your foot
shall tread upon,
that have I given
unto you, as I said
unto Moses.
From 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 coast.

There 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.

Be strong
and of a good courage:
for unto this people
shalt thou divide for an inheritance
the land,
which I sware
unto their fathers
to give
them.
Only be thou strong
and very
courageous,
that thou mayest 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 prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
This book
of the law
shall not depart
out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate
therein 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.
Have not I commanded
thee? Be strong
and of a good courage;
be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD
thy God
is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Then Joshua
commanded
the officers
of the people,
saying,
Pass
through
the host,
and command
the people,
saying,
Prepare
you victuals;
for within three
days
ye shall pass over
this Jordan,
to go in
to possess
the land,
which the LORD
your God
giveth
you to possess
it.
And to the Reubenites,
and to the Gadites,
and to half
the tribe
of Manasseh,
spake
Joshua,
saying,
Remember
the word
which Moses
the servant
of the LORD
commanded
you, saying,
The LORD
your God
hath given you rest,
and hath given
you this land.
Your wives,
your little ones,
and your cattle,
shall remain
in the land
which Moses
gave
you on this side
Jordan;
but ye shall pass
before
your brethren
armed,
all the mighty
men of valour,
and help
them;

Until the LORD
have given
your brethren
rest,
as he hath given you, and they also have possessed
the land
which the LORD
your God
giveth
them: then ye shall return
unto the land
of your possession,
and enjoy
it, which Moses
the LORD'S
servant
gave
you on this side
Jordan
toward the sunrising.
And they answered
Joshua,
saying,
All that thou commandest
us we will do,
and whithersoever
thou sendest
us, we will go.
According as we hearkened
unto Moses
in all things, so will we hearken
unto thee: only the LORD
thy God
be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Whosoever
he be that doth rebel
against thy commandment,
and will not hearken
unto thy words
in all that thou commandest
him, he shall be put to death:
only be strong
and of a good courage.
