Josué 1:1 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 1:1

Now after the death of Moses
Or "and after" ^F8; the book begins as if something went before, it is connected with; and indeed it seems to be the last chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, which treats of the death of Moses; and Joshua being the penman of ( Deuteronomy 34:5-12 ) , as say the Talmudists ^F9, and of this book, as has been seen, having wrote them, he goes on with the history of his own affairs in strict connection with that account, beginning where that ended; namely, at the death of Moses, whose character here given is

the servant of the Lord;
and a faithful one he was in all things belonging to it, and in whatsoever was enjoined him by the Lord, see ( Deuteronomy 34:5 ) ;

and it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
Moses's minister;
either in a dream, or vision, or by an articulate voice out of the sanctuary: of Joshua's descent and relation, see ( Exodus 33:11 ) ; and of his office under Moses, not as a menial servant, but a minister of state, see ( Exodus 24:13 ) ;

saying;
as follows.

Josué 1:1 In-Context

1 Depois da morte de Moisés, servo do Senhor, falou o Senhor a Josué, filho de Num, servidor de Moisés, dizendo:

2 Moisés, meu servo, é morto; levanta-te pois agora, passa este Jordão, tu e todo este povo, para a terra que eu dou aos filhos de Israel.

3 Todo lugar que pisar a planta do vosso pé, vo-lo dei, como eu disse a Moisés.

4 Desde o deserto e este Líbano, até o grande rio, o rio Eufrates, toda a terra dos heteus, e até o grande mar para o poente do sol, será o vosso termo.

5 Ninguém te poderá resistir todos os dias da tua vida. Como fui com Moisés, assim serei contigo; não te deixarei, nem te desampararei.
