¹ And it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, ² My servant Moses is dead. Now, therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people to the land which I give to them, to the sons of Israel. ³ Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, I have given that 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, shall be your border. ⁵ No man shall 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. ⁶ Be strong and of good courage. For you shall divide for an inheritance to this people, the land which I swore to their fathers, to give it to them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous so that you may be careful to do according to all the Law which My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may act wisely wherever you go. ⁸ This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall act wisely. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed. For Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go. ¹⁰ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people saying, ¹¹ Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare food for yourselves, for within three days you are crossing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving you to possess it. ¹² And Joshua spoke to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half tribe of Manasseh, saying: ¹³ Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest and has 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 you shall go armed before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and help them ¹⁵ until Jehovah has given your brothers rest, even as you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God gives them; and you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses Jehovah's servant gave you on this side Jordan, towards the sunrise. ¹⁶ And they answered Joshua, saying: We will do all that you command us, and wherever you send us we will go. ¹⁷ Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so we will listen to you. Only may Jehovah your God be with you as He was with Moses. ¹⁸ Whoever rebels against your command and will not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of a good courage.

¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my Shepherd; I shall not want. ² He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. ³ He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. ⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. ⁵ You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. ⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.

¹ So says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you build for Me? And where is the place of My rest? ² For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one I will look, to the afflicted and contrite spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word. ³ He who kills an ox is is as if he killed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb is as if he broke a dog's neck; he who offers an offering is as if he offered swine's blood; he who burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. ⁴ I also will choose the things that delude them, and I will bring their fears on them, because I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not hear. But they did evil before My eyes and chose that in which I did not delight. ⁵ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you who tremble at His Word; your brothers who hated you, who cast you out for My name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified. But He will appear to your joy, and they will be ashamed. ⁶ A sound of noise from the city, a sound from the temple, a sound of Jehovah repaying His enemies. ⁷ Before she travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a man child. ⁸ Who has heard a thing like this? Who has seen things like these? Will the earth be brought forth in one day? Or will a nation be born at once?

Surely I will cause birth and restrain, says your God. ¹⁰ Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all who mourn for her; ¹¹ that you may suck and be satisfied with her comforting breasts; that you may milk out and be delighted with the fullness of her glory. ¹² For so says Jehovah, Behold, I will hold out peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you will suck, you will be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees. ¹³ As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And you will see, and your heart will rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the grass. And the hand of Jehovah will be known toward His servants, and His fury toward His enemies. ¹⁵ For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and with His chariots like a tempest, to refresh His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. ¹⁶ For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will execute judgment with all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah will be many. ¹⁷ Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves to go into the gardens, behind one tree in the middle, eating swine's flesh, and the hateful thing, and the mouse, will be cut off together, says Jehovah. ¹⁸ For I know their works and their thoughts; it comes to gather all the nations and the tongues; and they will come and see My glory. ¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape from them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawers of the bow; to Tubal, and Javan, to the far away coasts that have not heard My fame, nor have seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they will bring all your brothers for an offering to Jehovah out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah. ²¹ And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah. ²² For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make stand before Me, says Jehovah, so will your seed and your name stand. ²³ And it will be, from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Me, says Jehovah. ²⁴ And they will go out and see the dead bodies of the men who have sinned against Me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be put out; and they will be an object of disgust to all flesh.

¹ And it happened when all the people had completely passed over the Jordan, Jehovah spoke to Joshua saying, ² Take twelve men for you out of the people, a man out of every tribe, ³ and command them saying, Take twelve stones from here, out of the middle of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm. And you shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the place where you shall stay tonight. ⁴ Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared from the sons of Israel, a man out of every tribe. ⁵ And Joshua said to them, Pass over in front of the ark of Jehovah your God into the middle of the Jordan. And every man take a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, ⁶ so that this may be a sign to you when your sons ask in time to come, saying, What do you mean by these stones? ⁷ Then you shall answer them, The waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. When it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off, and these stones shall be for a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.
