Joshua 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 1:3

Every place that the sole of your feet shall tread upon
That is, in the land of Canaan:

Joshua 1:3 In-Context

1 After Moses, the servant of the Lord, died, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant.

2 The Lord said, "My servant Moses is dead. Now you and all these people go across the Jordan River into the land I am giving to the Israelites.

3 I promised Moses I would give you this land, so I will give you every place you go in the land.

4 All the land from the desert in the south to Lebanon in the north will be yours. All the land from the great river, the Euphrates, in the east, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west will be yours, too, including the land of the Hittites.

5 No one will be able to defeat you all your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forget you.
