2“MosesH4872 1My servantH5650 is deadH4191; so nowH6258 ariseH6965, 2crossH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383, you and allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971, to the landH776 whichH834 I am givingH5414 to them, to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 33EveryH3605 placeH4725 on whichH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 stepsH1869, I have givenH5414 it to you, justH3512 asH3512 I spokeH1696 to MosesH4872. 44From 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. 55NoH3808 oneH376 will be able to opposeH3320H6440 you allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2425. JustH3512 asH3512 I have beenH1961 with MosesH4872, I will be with you; 6I will not desertH7503 you nor abandonH5800 you. 67Be 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; 89beH8104 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 thatH4616 you may 10achieveH7919 successH7919 whereverH3605H834 you goH1980. 811ThisH2088 BookH5612 of the LawH8451 shall not departH4185 from your mouthH6310, but you shall meditateH1897 on it dayH3119 and nightH3915, soH4616 thatH4616 you may 12beH8104 carefulH8104 to doH6213 according to allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in it; 13for thenH227 you will makeH6743 your wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and thenH227 you will 14achieveH7919 successH7919. 9Have I not commandedH6680 you? 15Be strongH2388 and courageousH553! 16Do not be terrifiedH6206 nor dismayedH2865, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 is with you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980.”
10Then JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the officersH7860 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 11“PassH5674 through the midstH7130 of the campH4264 and commandH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ‘PrepareH3559 provisionsH6720 for yourselves, for withinH5750 17threeH7969 daysH3117 you are going to crossH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383, to goH935 inH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, to possessH3423 it.’”
12But 18to the ReubenitesH7206, to the GaditesH1425, and to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, JoshuaH3091 19saidH559, 13“RememberH2142 the wordH1697 whichH834 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 commandedH6680 you, sayingH559, ‘20The LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5117 you restH5117, and will giveH5414 you thisH2088 landH776.’ 14Your wivesH802, your littleH2945 onesH2945, and your livestockH4735 shall remainH3427 in the landH776 whichH834 MosesH4872 gaveH5414 you beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, but you shall crossH5674 aheadH6440 of your brothersH251 in battleH2571 formationH2571, allH3605 your valiantH2428 warriorsH1368, and shall helpH5826 them,
