Joshua 1:3

Listen to Joshua 1:3
3 I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on - just as I promised Moses.

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:
(See Gill on Deuteronomy 11:24); though the Jews extend this to all without the land subdued by them, and even to all the countries they now tread on, and are exiles in; but the limits of what the Lord gave them are fixed in ( Joshua 1:4 ) .

Joshua 1:3 In-Context

1 After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant:
2 "Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I'm giving to the People of Israel.
3 I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on - just as I promised Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River - all the Hittite country - and then west to the Great Sea. It's all yours.
5 All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you.
