1
After the death of Moses the LORD's servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant. He said,
2
"Now that my servant Moses is dead, you must lead my people across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.
3
I promise you what I promised Moses: 'Everywhere you go, you will be on land I have given you --
4
from the Negev Desert in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River on the east to the Mediterranean Sea a on the west, and all the land of the Hittites.'
5
No one will be able to stand their ground against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.
6
"Be strong and courageous, for you will lead my people to possess all the land I swore to give their ancestors.
