JOSHUA, 1. Also called JEHOSHUA, and JEHOSHUAH, and OSHEA
The LORD said to Moses, "Take JOSHUA the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
JOSHUA the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him. The children of Israel listened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
5. No man will 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 courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7. Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Don't turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for the LORD your
God is with you wherever you go."
The LORD said to JOSHUA, "Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
It shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to The LORD's word. Behold, I have commanded you."
