Joshua 1:1-9

1NowH1961 afterH310 the deathH4194 of HisH3068 servantH5650 MosesH4872, the LORDH3068 spokeH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126, MosesH4872’ assistantH8334, sayingH559, 2“MosesH4872 My servantH5650 is deadH4191. Now thereforeH6258 ariseH6965, youH859 and allH3605 these peopleH5971, and cross overH5674 the JordanH3383 intoH413 the landH776 thatH834 IH595 am givingH5414 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

3I have given youH5414 everyH3605 placeH4725 whereH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 will treadH1869, just asH834 I promisedH1696 toH413 MosesH4872. 4Your territoryH1366 shall extendH1961 from the wildernessH4057 and LebanonH3844H2088 toH5704 the greatH1419 RiverH5104 EuphratesH6578—allH3605 the landH776 of the HittitesH2850—and westH3996H8121 as far asH5704 the GreatH1419 SeaH3220.1

5NoH3808 oneH376 shall standH3320 against youH6440 allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2416. AsH834 I wasH1961 withH5973 MosesH4872, so will I beH1961 with youH5973; I will neverH3808 leave youH7503 norH3808 forsake youH5800.2

6Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, forH3588 youH859 shall give these people the inheritanceH5157 of the landH776 thatH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1 I would giveH5414 them.

7Above allH7535, be strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553. Be carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 the lawH8451 thatH834 My servantH5650 MosesH4872 commanded youH6680. Do notH408 turnH5493 fromH4480 it to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040, so thatH4616 you may prosperH7919 whereverH3605H834 you goH1980. 8ThisH2088 BookH5612 of the LawH8451 must notH3808 departH4185 from your mouthH6310; meditateH1897 on it dayH3119 and nightH3915, so thatH4616 you may be carefulH8104 to doH6213 everythingH3605 writtenH3789 in it. ForH3588 thenH227 you will prosperH6743 and succeedH7919 in all you doH1870H227.

9Have I notH3808 commanded youH6680 to be strongH2388 and courageousH553? Do notH408 be afraidH6206H408; do not be discouragedH2865, forH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is withH5973 you whereverH3605 you goH1980.”
