1 Now after the death of His {YHWH} servant Moses (drawn out), the LORD spoke to Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity), Moses’ assistant, saying, 2 “Moses (drawn out) My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan (flowing down) into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel (he wrestles with God). 3 I have given you⁺ every place where the sole of your⁺ foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses (drawn out). 4 Your⁺ territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon (whiteness) to the great River Euphrates (fruitfulness)—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea (the Mediterranean Sea). 5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses (drawn out), so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them. 7 Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses (drawn out) commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
