1Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses` minister, saying,
2Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, to you have I given it, as I spoke to Moses.
4From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
6Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: don`t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
