Joshua 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 1:3

Every place that the sole of your feet shall tread upon
That is, in the land of Canaan:

Joshua 1:3 In-Context

1 After the death of Moshe the servant of ADONAI, ADONAI said to Y'hoshua the son of Nun, Moshe's assistant,

2 "Moshe my servant is dead. So now, get up and cross over this Yarden, you and all the people, to the land I am giving to them, the people of Isra'el.

3 I am giving you every place you will step on with the sole of your foot, as I said to Moshe.

4 All the land from the desert and the L'vanon to the great river, the Euphrates River - all the land of the Hitti - and on to the Great Sea in the west will be your territory.

5 No one will be able to withstand you as long as you live. Just as I was with Moshe, so I will be with you. I will neither fail you nor abandon you.
