1And after Moshe the Servant of LORD JEHOVAH died, LORD JEHOVAH said to Yeshua son of Nun, the Minister of Moshe 2“Moshe my Servant has died; arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people to the land that I give to them, the children of Israel 3Every place that the sole of your foot will tread in it, it shall be yours, as I said to Moshe 4From the wilderness and the mountain of this Lebanon and unto Euphrates the great river, and all the land of the Khithites and unto the Great Sea, the place of the setting of the sun, shall be your border. 5And a man shall not stand before you all the days of your life, and just as I have been with Moshe, I shall be with you. I shall not leave you and I shall not forsake you 6Be strong and be greatly strengthened, because you shall cause this people to inherit it, the land that I have sworn to their fathers to give to them 7Only be strong and be greatly strengthened to keep and do all the laws that Moshe my Servant commanded you. You shall not depart from them, neither to the right nor to the left, so that you will prosper in every place that you will go 8And this book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall be attending to it by night and by day, and you shall keep and you shall do all that is written in it, that you will prosper and you will be successful 9Behold I have commanded you; be strong and be strengthened. You shall not fear and you shall not be moved, because LORD JEHOVAH your God is with you wherever you go.”

10And Yeshua commanded the Leaders of the people and their Scribes and he said to them 11“Go through within the camp and command the people and say to them: ‘Prepare for yourselves provisions because within three days from now you cross this Jordan to enter to inherit the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God has given to you to inherit it’

12And to Rubil and to Gad and to half of the tribe of Menasheh, Yeshua said 13Remember the word that Moshe the Servant of LORD JEHOVAH commanded you, and he said to you: LORD JEHOVAH your God also gave you this land to give you rest 14Your wives and your little ones and your cattle will dwell in the land that Moshe gave to you at the crossing of Jordan, and you cross when your brethren are armed before all of you, mighty men of in power, and help them 15Until LORD JEHOVAH will give rest to your brethren like you, and they possess also the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gave to them and you will return to the land of your inheritance and you shall inherit it, that which Moshe the Servant of LORD JEHOVAH gave to you at the crossing of Jordan from the rising of the sun”

16And the sons of Rubil and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasheh answered and they said to Yeshua: “All that you commanded us we shall do, and wherever you will send us we will go 17And just as we were listening to Moshe, so we will listen to you, only let LORD JEHOVAH your God be with you just as ever he was with Moshe 18And every man who will contend with you and will not listen to your word, everything that you command him, he shall be killed; only be powerful and be strong!”
