1 Now after * h310 the death * h4194 of Moses * h4872 the servant * h5650 of the LORD * h3068 it came to pass, that the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126, Moses * h4872' minister * h8334 h8764, saying * h559 h8800,

3 Every place * h4725 that the sole * h3709 of your foot * h7272 shall tread upon * h1869 h8799, that have I given * h5414 h8804 unto you, as I said * h1696 h8765 unto Moses * h4872.
4 From the wilderness * h4057 and this Lebanon * h3844 even unto the great * h1419 river * h5104, the river * h5104 Euphrates * h6578, all the land * h776 of the Hittites * h2850, and unto the great * h1419 sea * h3220 toward the going down * h3996 of the sun * h8121, shall be your coast * h1366.
5 There shall not any man * h376 be able to stand * h3320 h8691 before * h6440 thee all the days * h3117 of thy life * h2416: as I was with Moses * h4872, so I will be with thee: I will not fail * h7503 h8686 thee, nor forsake * h5800 h8799 thee.
6 Be strong * h2388 h8798 and of a good courage * h553 h8798: for unto this people * h5971 shalt thou divide for an inheritance * h5157 h8686 the land * h776, which I sware * h7650 h8738 unto their fathers * h1 to give * h5414 h8800 them. unto this...: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc
7 Only be thou strong * h2388 h8798 and very * h3966 courageous * h553 h8798, that thou mayest observe * h8104 h8800 to do * h6213 h8800 according to all the law * h8451, which Moses * h4872 my servant * h5650 commanded * h6680 h8765 thee: turn * h5493 h8799 not from it to the right hand * h3225 or to the left * h8040, that thou mayest prosper * h7919 h8686 whithersoever thou goest * h3212 h8799. prosper: or, do wisely
8 This book * h5612 of the law * h8451 shall not depart * h4185 h8799 out of thy mouth * h6310; but thou shalt meditate * h1897 h8804 therein day * h3119 and night * h3915, that thou mayest observe * h8104 h8799 to do * h6213 h8800 according to all that is written * h3789 h8803 therein: for then thou shalt make * h6743 thy way * h1870 prosperous * h6743 h8686, and then thou shalt have good success * h7919 h8686. have...: or, do wisely
9 Have not I commanded * h6680 h8765 thee? Be strong * h2388 h8798 and of a good courage * h553 h8798; be not afraid * h6206 h8799, neither be thou dismayed * h2865 h8735: for the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 is with thee whithersoever thou goest * h3212 h8799.
10 Then Joshua * h3091 commanded * h6680 h8762 the officers * h7860 h8802 of the people * h5971, saying * h559 h8800,
11 Pass * h5674 h8798 through * h7130 the host * h4264, and command * h6680 h8761 the people * h5971, saying * h559 h8800, Prepare * h3559 h8685 you victuals * h6720; for within three * h7969 days * h3117 ye shall pass over * h5674 h8802 this Jordan * h3383, to go in * h935 h8800 to possess * h3423 h8800 the land * h776, which the LORD * h3068 your God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 you to possess * h3423 h8800 it.
12 And to the Reubenites * h7206, and to the Gadites * h1425, and to half * h2677 the tribe * h7626 of Manasseh * h4519, spake * h559 h8804 Joshua * h3091, saying * h559 h8800,
13 Remember * h2142 h8800 the word * h1697 which Moses * h4872 the servant * h5650 of the LORD * h3068 commanded * h6680 h8765 you, saying * h559 h8800, The LORD * h3068 your God * h430 hath given you rest * h5117 h8688, and hath given * h5414 h8804 you this land * h776.
14 Your wives * h802, your little ones * h2945, and your cattle * h4735, shall remain * h3427 h8799 in the land * h776 which Moses * h4872 gave * h5414 h8804 you on this side * h5676 Jordan * h3383; but ye shall pass * h5674 h8799 before * h6440 your brethren * h251 armed * h2571, all the mighty * h1368 men of valour * h2428, and help * h5826 h8804 them; armed: Heb. marshalled by five
15 Until the LORD * h3068 have given * h5117 your brethren * h251 rest * h5117 h8686, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed * h3423 h8804 the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 your God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 them: then ye shall return * h7725 h8804 unto the land * h776 of your possession * h3425, and enjoy * h3423 h8804 it, which Moses * h4872 the LORD'S * h3068 servant * h5650 gave * h5414 h8804 you on this side * h5676 Jordan * h3383 toward the sunrising * h4217 * h8121.
16 And they answered * h6030 h8799 Joshua * h3091, saying * h559 h8800, All that thou commandest * h6680 h8765 us we will do * h6213 h8799, and whithersoever * h834 thou sendest * h7971 h8799 us, we will go * h3212 h8799.
17 According as we hearkened * h8085 h8804 unto Moses * h4872 in all things, so will we hearken * h8085 h8799 unto thee: only the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 be with thee, as he was with Moses * h4872.
18 Whosoever * h376 he be that doth rebel * h4784 h8686 against thy commandment * h6310, and will not hearken * h8085 h8799 unto thy words * h1697 in all that thou commandest * h6680 h8762 him, he shall be put to death * h4191 h8714: only be strong * h2388 h8798 and of a good courage * h553 h8798.
