Joshua 1

Common English Bible CEB

1 After Moses the LORD's servant died, the LORD spoke to Joshua, Nun's son. He had been Moses' helper.

2 “My servant Moses is dead. Now get ready to cross over the Jordan with this entire people to the land that I am going to give to the Israelites.

3 I am giving you every place where you set foot, exactly as I promised Moses.

4 Your territory will stretch from the desert and the Lebanon as far as the great Euphrates River, including all Hittite land, up to the Mediterranean Sea on the west.

5 No one will be able to stand up against you during your lifetime. I will be with you in the same way I was with Moses. I won't desert you or leave you.

6 Be brave and strong, because you are the one who will help this people take possession of the land, which I pledged to give to their ancestors.

7 "Be very brave and strong as you carefully obey all of the Instruction that Moses my servant commanded you. Don't deviate even a bit from it, either to the right or left. Then you will have success wherever you go.

8 Never stop speaking about this Instruction scroll. Recite it day and night so you can carefully obey everything written in it. Then you will accomplish your objectives and you will succeed.

9 I've commanded you to be brave and strong, haven't I? Don't be alarmed or terrified, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

10 Then Joshua gave orders to the people's officers:

11 "Go through the camp and give orders to the people. Say, ‘Get supplies ready for yourselves because in three days you will be crossing over the Jordan to enter the land and take it over. The LORD your God is going to give it to you as your possession.'"

12 Then Joshua addressed the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh:

13 "Remember the command that Moses the LORD's servant gave you: ‘The LORD your God will give you rest and give you this land.'

14 Your wives, children, and cattle may remain in the land that Moses has given you on the east side of the Jordan. But all you brave fighters, organized for war, must cross over in front of your fellow Israelites. You must help them

15 until the LORD gives a rest like yours to your fellow Israelites and they too take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return and take over the land that belongs to you, which Moses the LORD's servant has given you on the east side of the Jordan."

16 They answered Joshua, "We will obey everything you have commanded us and go anywhere you send us.

17 We will obey you in the same way that we obeyed Moses. Just let the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses!

18 Anybody who stubbornly opposes what you declare and doesn't obey any of your commands will be put to death. Be brave and strong!"

The Message Bible MSG

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.

6 Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors.

7 Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going.

8 And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed.

9 Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take." The Taking of the Land

10 Then Joshua gave orders to the people's leaders:

11 "Go through the camp and give this order to the people: 'Pack your bags. In three days you will cross this Jordan River to enter and take the land God, your God, is giving you to possess.'"

12 Then Joshua addressed the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He said,

13 "Remember what Moses the servant of God commanded you: God, your God, gives you rest and he gives you this land.

14 Your wives, your children, and your livestock can stay here east of the Jordan, the country Moses gave you; but you, tough soldiers all, must cross the River in battle formation, leading your brothers, helping them

15 until God, your God, gives your brothers a place of rest just as he has done for you. They also will take possession of the land that God, your God, is giving them. Then you will be free to return to your possession, given to you by Moses the servant of God, across the Jordan to the east."

16 They answered Joshua: "Everything you commanded us, we'll do. Wherever you send us, we'll go.

17 We obeyed Moses to the letter; we'll also obey you - we just pray that God, your God, will be with you as he was with Moses.

18 Anyone who questions what you say and refuses to obey whatever you command him will be put to death. Strength! Courage!"^
