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:

that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses:

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.

3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.
