International Standard Version

1Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,

1After Moses, the servant of the LORD, had died, the LORD spoke to Nun's son Joshua, announcing to him,

2“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.

2"My servant Moses is dead. Now get ready to cross the Jordan River —you and all the people—to the land that I'm giving the Israelis.

3I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.

3I'm giving you every place where the sole of your foot falls, just as I promised Moses.

4Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.

4Your territorial border will extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon Mountains, to the river—that great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—as far as the Mediterranean Sea where the sun sets.

5No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

5No one will be victorious against you for the rest of your life. I'll be with you just like I was with Moses—I'll neither fail you nor abandon you.

6Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.

6"Be strong and courageous, because you'll be leading this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors.

7Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.

7Only be strong and very courageous to ensure that you obey all the instructions that my servant Moses gave you—turn neither to the right nor to the left from it—so that you may succeed wherever you go.

8This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.

8This set of instructions is not to cease being a part of your conversations. Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to carry out everything that's written in it, for then you'll prosper and succeed.

9Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

9I've commanded you, haven't I? Be strong and courageous. Don't be fearful or discouraged, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

10Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:

10Then Joshua gave orders to the officials of the people.

11“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’ ”

11"Go through the camp," he said, "and command the people, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, because within three days you'll be crossing the Jordan River to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you—so go get it!'"

12But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,

12Joshua told the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

13“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’

13"Remember what Moses commanded you when he said, 'The LORD your God will provide you rest, as well as this land.'

14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,

14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock will remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan River, but you and all your warriors will cross, ready for battle, in full view of your relatives, and you will help them

15until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”

15until the LORD gives relief to your relatives, as he did to you. Then they'll take the land that the LORD your God is giving them as their inheritance. You'll return to the land of your heritage and receive the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan River, in the direction of the sunrise."

16So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.

16"We'll do everything that you commanded," they replied. "We'll go wherever you send us.

17Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

17We'll listen and obey you in everything, just like we did with Moses. Only may the LORD your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.

18Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”

18Anyone who rebels against what you say and doesn't listen to your words regarding everything that you command will be executed. Only be strong and courageous."
