06:001:005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will
not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
06:001:006 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt
thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their
fathers to give them.
06:001:007 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that
thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
06:001:008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
06:001:009 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with
thee whithersoever thou goest.
06:001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
06:001:011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying,
Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this
Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth
you to possess it.
06:001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the
tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
06:001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath
given you this land.
06:001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain
in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass
before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help
them;
06:001:015 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath
given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your
God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession,
and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side
Jordan toward the sunrising.
06:001:016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest
us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
06:001:017 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will
we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was
with Moses.
06:001:018 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and
will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he
shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
06:002:001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy
secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and
came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
06:002:002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the
country.
