| 2 "Moses My servant is dead. Now you and all the people prepare to cross over the Jordan to the land I am giving the Israelites. | 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites. |
| 3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses. | 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. |
| 4 Your territory will be from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great Euphrates River-all the land of the Hittites-and west to the Mediterranean Sea. | 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Great Sea on the west. |
| 5 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. I will be with you, just as I was with Moses. I will not leave you or forsake you. | 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. |
| 6 "Be strong and courageous, for you will distribute the land I swore to their fathers to give them as an inheritance. | 6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. |
