Joshua 1:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 1:13

11 “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for ^awithin three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’ ”

12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,

13 “Remember ^athe word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’

14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall¹ pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

15 until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. ^aThen you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

16 So they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

17 Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God ^abe with you, as He was with Moses.
