Context of Joshua 1:3

1The Lord's servant, Moses, had died. Then the Lord spoke to Joshua, son of Nun, who had helped Moses in his work. 2The Lord said to Joshua, ‘Moses, my servant, is dead. Now you and all these people must get ready to cross the Jordan River. Lead the people of Israel into the land that I am giving to them. I have given to you every part of the ground that you walk on. I promised Moses that I would do this. 4You will have all the land from the desert in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north. It will be from the river Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea on the west. You will have all the land of the Hittite people. 5No one can stop you from taking this land as long as you live. As I was with Moses, I will always be with you. I will never leave you alone.
