Joshua 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 1:15

Until the Lord hath given your brethren rest, as [he hath
given] you
Rest from their travels, as they had:

and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth
them:
are settled in the land of Canaan, as they were on that side Jordan:

then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it;
the countries of Sihon and Og, they were put into the possession of:

the sunrising;
the land, given to them lay to the east of Jordan.

13 "Remember the word that Moses Yahweh's servant commanded you, saying, 'Yahweh your God [is] giving rest to you, and he is giving you this land.'

16 And they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you will send us we will go.

17 Just as we obeyed Moses, so will we obey you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
