New Living Translation

1After Moses, the servant of the LORD, had died, the LORD spoke to Nun's son Joshua, announcing to him,

1After the death of Moses the LORD’s servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant. He said,

2"My servant Moses is dead. Now get ready to cross the Jordan River —you and all the people—to the land that I'm giving the Israelis.

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.

3I'm giving you every place where the sole of your foot falls, just as I promised Moses.

3I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you—

4Your territorial border will extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon Mountains, to the river—that great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—as far as the Mediterranean Sea where the sun sets.

4from 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.’

5No one will be victorious against you for the rest of your life. I'll be with you just like I was with Moses—I'll neither fail you nor abandon you.

5No 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, because you'll be leading this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors.

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.

7Only be strong and very courageous to ensure that you obey all the instructions that my servant Moses gave you—turn neither to the right nor to the left from it—so that you may succeed wherever you go.

7Be 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.

8This set of instructions is not to cease being a part of your conversations. Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to carry out everything that's written in it, for then you'll prosper and succeed.

8Study 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.

9I've commanded you, haven't I? Be strong and courageous. Don't be fearful or discouraged, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

9This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua’s Charge to the Israelites

10Then Joshua gave orders to the officials of the people.

10Joshua then commanded the officers of Israel,

11"Go through the camp," he said, "and command the people, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, because within three days you'll be crossing the Jordan River to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you—so go get it!'"

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.”

12Joshua told the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

12Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He told them,

13"Remember what Moses commanded you when he said, 'The LORD your God will provide you rest, as well as this land.'

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.’

14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock will remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan River, but you and all your warriors will cross, ready for battle, in full view of your relatives, and you will help them

14Your 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

15until the LORD gives relief to your relatives, as he did to you. Then they'll take the land that the LORD your God is giving them as their inheritance. You'll return to the land of your heritage and receive the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan River, in the direction of the sunrise."

15until 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"We'll do everything that you commanded," they replied. "We'll go wherever you send us.

16They answered Joshua, “We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us.

17We'll listen and obey you in everything, just like we did with Moses. Only may the LORD your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.

17We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. And may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.

18Anyone who rebels against what you say and doesn't listen to your words regarding everything that you command will be executed. Only be strong and courageous."

18Anyone 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!”
