1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun Moses' minister saying 2 Moses my servant is dead now therefore arise go over this Jordan thou and all this people unto the land which I do give to them even to the children of Israel 3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that have I given unto you as I said unto Moses 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river the river Euphrates all the land of the Hittites and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your coast 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life as I was with Moses so I will be with thee I will not fail thee nor forsake thee 6 Be strong and of a good courage for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success 9 Have not I commanded thee Be strong and of a good courage be not afraid neither be thou dismayed for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest

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 ye shall pass over this Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it

12 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spake Joshua saying 13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you saying The LORD your God hath given you rest and hath given you this land 14 Your wives your little ones and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan but ye shall pass before your brethren armed all the mighty men of valour and help them 15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest as he hath given you and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them then ye shall return unto 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 thou commandest us we will do and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go 17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things so will we hearken unto thee only the LORD thy God be with thee as he was with Moses 18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him he shall be put to death only be strong and of a good courage
