Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
1 After the death of the Lord's servant Moses, the Lord spoke to Moses' helper, Joshua son of Nun.
1
After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:
2 He said, "My servant Moses is dead. Get ready now, you and all the people of Israel, and cross the Jordan River into the land that I am giving them.
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 As I told Moses, I have given you and all my people the entire land that you will be marching over.
3
I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.
4 Your borders will reach from the desert in the south to the Lebanon Mountains in the north; from the great Euphrates River in the east, through the Hittite country, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
4
Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
5 Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with you; I will never abandon you.
5
No one will be able to stand 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 determined and confident, for you will be the leader of these people as they occupy this land which I promised their ancestors.
6
Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
