Joshua 1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 After the death of Moses the LORD's servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant. He said,
2 "Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.
3 I promise you what I promised Moses: 'Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you--
4 from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.'
5 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.
6 "Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
9 This is my command-- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
10 Joshua then commanded the officers of Israel,
11 "Go through the camp and tell the people to get their provisions ready. In three days you will cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you."
12 Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He told them,
13 "Remember what Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you: 'The LORD your God is giving you a place of rest. He has given you this land.'
14 Your wives, children, and livestock may remain here in the land Moses assigned to you on the east side of the Jordan River. But your strong warriors, fully armed, must lead the other tribes across the Jordan to help them conquer their territory. Stay with them
15 until the LORD gives them rest, as he has given you rest, and until they, too, possess the land the LORD your God is giving them. Only then may you return and settle here on the east side of the Jordan River in the land that Moses, the servant of the LORD, assigned to you."
16 They answered Joshua, "We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us.
17 We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. And may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.
18 Anyone who rebels against your orders and does not obey your words and everything you command will be put to death. So be strong and courageous!"
1 Now after H310 the death H4194 of Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 it came to pass, H1961 that the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 Moses' H4872 minister, H8334 saying, H559
2 Moses H4872 my servant H5650 is dead; H4191 now H6258 therefore arise, H6965 go over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan, H3383 thou, H859 and all H3605 this H2088 people, H5971 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I H595 do give H5414 to them, even to the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
3 Every H3605 place H4725 that H834 the sole H3709 of your foot H7272 shall tread H1869 upon , that have I given H5414 unto you, as H834 I said H1696 unto H413 Moses. H4872
4 From the wilderness H4480 H4057 and this H2088 Lebanon H3844 even unto H5704 the great H1419 river, H5104 the river H5104 Euphrates, H6578 all H3605 the land H776 of the Hittites, H2850 and unto H5704 the great H1419 sea H3220 toward the going down H3996 of the sun, H8121 shall be H1961 your coast. H1366
5 There shall not H3808 any man H376 be able to stand H3320 before H6440 thee all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life: H2416 as H834 I was H1961 with H5973 Moses, H4872 so I will be H1961 with H5973 thee : I will not H3808 fail H7503 thee, nor H3808 forsake H5800 thee.
6 Be strong H2388 and of a good courage: H553 for H3588 unto H853 this H2088 people H5971 shalt thou H859 divide for an inheritance H5157 H853 the land, H776 which H834 I swore H7650 unto their fathers H1 to give H5414 them.
7 Only H7535 be thou strong H2388 and very H3966 courageous, H553 that thou mayest observe H8104 to do H6213 according to all H3605 the law, H8451 which H834 Moses H4872 my servant H5650 commanded H6680 thee: turn H5493 not H408 from H4480 it to the right hand H3225 or to the left, H8040 that H4616 thou mayest prosper H7919 whithersoever H3605 H834 thou goest. H1980
8 This H2088 book H5612 of the law H8451 shall not H3808 depart H4185 out of thy mouth H4480 H6310 ; but thou shalt meditate H1897 therein day H3119 and night, H3915 that H4616 thou mayest observe H8104 to do H6213 according to all H3605 that is written H3789 therein: for H3588 then H227 thou shalt make H6743 H853 thy way H1870 prosperous, H6743 and then H227 thou shalt have good success. H7919
9 Have not H3808 I commanded H6680 thee? Be strong H2388 and of a good courage; H553 be not afraid H6206 H408 , neither H408 be thou dismayed: H2865 for H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 is with H5973 thee whithersoever H3605 H834 thou goest. H1980
10 Then Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 H853 the officers H7860 of the people, H5971 saying, H559
11 Pass H5674 through H7130 the host, H4264 and command H6680 H853 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Prepare H3559 you victuals; H6720 for H3588 within H5750 three H7969 days H3117 ye H859 shall pass over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan, H3383 to go in H935 to possess H3423 H853 the land, H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 giveth H5414 you to possess H3423 it.
12 And to the Reubenites, H7206 and to the Gadites, H1425 and to half H2677 the tribe H7626 of Manasseh, H4519 spoke H559 Joshua, H3091 saying, H559
13 Remember H2142 H853 the word H1697 which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 you, saying, H559 The LORD H3068 your God H430 hath given you rest, H5117 and hath given H5414 you H853 this H2063 land. H776
14 Your wives, H802 your little ones, H2945 and your cattle, H4735 shall remain H3427 in the land H776 which H834 Moses H4872 gave H5414 you on this side H5676 Jordan; H3383 but ye H859 shall pass H5674 before H6440 your brethren H251 armed, H2571 all H3605 the mighty men H1368 of valor, H2428 and help H5826 them;
15 Until H5704 H834 the LORD H3068 have given H5117 your brethren H251 rest, H5117 as he hath given you , and they H1992 also H1571 have possessed H3423 H853 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 giveth H5414 them : then ye shall return H7725 unto the land H776 of your possession, H3425 and enjoy H3423 it, which H834 Moses H4872 the LORD's H3068 servant H5650 gave H5414 you on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 toward the sunrising H4217 H8121 .
16 And they answered Joshua, H3091 saying, H559 All H3605 that H834 thou commandest H6680 us we will do, H6213 and whithersoever H413 H3605 H834 thou sendest H7971 us , we will go. H1980
17 According as we hearkened H8085 unto H413 Moses H4872 in all H3605 things, H834 so H3651 will we hearken H8085 unto H413 thee: only H7535 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 be H1961 with H5973 thee, as H834 he was H1961 with H5973 Moses. H4872
18 Whosoever H3605 H376 H834 he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, H6310 and will not H3808 hearken unto thy words H1697 in all H3605 that H834 thou commandest H6680 him , he shall be put to death: H4191 only H7535 be strong H2388 and of a good courage. H553
