LEB(i)
1 After the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh said to Joshua son of Nun, the assistant* of Moses, saying,
2 "My servant Moses is dead. Get up and cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the ⌊Israelites⌋.*
3 Every place that the soles of your feet will tread, I have given it to you, as I promised* to Moses.
4 From the wilderness ⌊and the Lebanon⌋,* up to the great river, the river Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and up to ⌊the great sea in the west⌋,* will be your territory.
5 No one will stand before you* all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.
6 Be strong and courageous, for you will give the people this land as an inheritance that I swore to their ancestors* to give them.
7 Only be strong and very courageous ⌊to observe diligently the whole law⌋* that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn aside from it, to the right or left, so that you may succeed ⌊wherever you go⌋.*
8 The scroll of this law will not depart from your mouth; you will meditate on it day and night so that ⌊you may observe diligently all that is written⌋* in it. For then you will succeed in your ways and prosper.
9 Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you ⌊wherever you go⌋."*
