1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun , Moses ' minister , saying  2 Moses 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  3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread on , that have I given to you, as I said to Moses  4 From 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 , will be your coast  5 There will 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 abandon  6 Be strong and of a good courage : for to this people will you divide for an inheritance the land , which I swore to their fathers to give  7 Only be strong and very courageous , that you may observe to do according to all the law , which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left , that you may prosper wherever you goes  8 This book of the law will not depart out of your mouth ; but you will meditate in it day and night , that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you will make your way prosperous , and then you will have good success  9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage ; be not afraid , neither be dismayed : for the LORD your God [is] with you wherever you goes  10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people , saying  11 Pass through the host , and command the people , saying , Prepare you victuals ; for within three days you will pass over this Jordan , to go in to possess the land , which the LORD your God gives you to possess  12 And to the Reubenites , and to the Gadites , and to half the tribe of Manasseh , spoke Joshua , saying  13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying , The LORD your God has given you rest , and has given you this land  14 Your wives , your little ones , and your cattle , will remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan ; but you will pass before your brothers armed , all the mighty men of valour , and help  15 Until the LORD have given your brothers rest , as [he has given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then you will return to the land of your possession , and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising   16 And they answered Joshua , saying , All that you commands us we will do , and wheresoever you sends us, we will go  17 According as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses  18 Whosoever [he be] that does rebel against your commandment , and will not listen to your words in all that you commands him, he will be put to death : only be strong and of a good courage
