Joshua 1:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 1:2

God’s Commission to Joshua

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ ^aassistant, saying:

2 ^a“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.

3 ^aEvery place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

4 ^aFrom the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as 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 territory.

5 ^aNo man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; ^bas I was with Moses, so ^cI will be with you. ^dI will not leave you nor forsake you.

6 ^aBe strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall¹ divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law ^awhich Moses My servant commanded you; ^bdo not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may¹ prosper wherever you go.
