Ben Sira 46:1 In-Context

1 VALIANT in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name,

2 Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel.

3 How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities?

4 Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies.

5 Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two?
