1Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 the deathH4194 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068, that the LordH3068 spokeH559 to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, Moses’H4872 1servantH8334, sayingH559, 2“MosesH4872 2My servantH5650 is deadH4191; nowH6258 therefore ariseH6965, 3crossH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383, you and allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971, to the landH776 whichH834 I am givingH5414 to them, to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 34EveryH3605 placeH4725 on whichH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 treadsH1869, I have givenH5414 it to you, justH3512 as I spokeH1696 to MosesH4872. 45From the wildernessH4057 and thisH2088 LebanonH3844, even as farH5704 as the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, allH3605 the landH776 of the HittitesH2850, and as farH5704 as the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 toward the settingH3996 of the sunH8121 will be your territoryH1366. 56NoH3808 manH376 will be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2425. JustH3512 as I have beenH1961 with MosesH4872, I will be with you; 7I will not failH7503 you or forsakeH5800 you. 68Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, for you shall giveH5157 thisH2088 peopleH5971 possessionH5157 of the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them. 7OnlyH7534 be strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553; 910be carefulH8104 to doH6213 according to allH3605 the lawH8451 whichH834 MosesH4872 My servantH5650 commandedH6680 you; do not turnH5493 from it to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040, soH4616 that you may 11haveH7919 successH7919 whereverH3605H834 you goH1980. 812ThisH2088 bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 from your mouthH6310, but you shall meditateH1897 on it dayH3119 and nightH3915, soH4616 that you may 13be carefulH8104 to doH6213 according to allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in it; 14for thenH227 you will makeH6743 your wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and thenH227 you will 15haveH7919 successH7919. 9Have I not commandedH6680 you? 16Be strongH2388 and courageousH553! 17Do not trembleH6206 or be dismayedH2865, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 is with you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980.”
