International Standard Version

1After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide:

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 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.

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 will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

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

4Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

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 will be able to stand 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.

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, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to 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.

7"Be 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.

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.

8Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; 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.

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? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be 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."

10So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:

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

11"Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your provisions 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.'"

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 the command that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you after he said, 'The LORD your God will give you rest by giving 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 children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle, must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites. You are to 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 until they too have taken possession of the land 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."

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."

16Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever 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 fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only 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.

18Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only 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."
