Joshua 1:7-14

⁷Therefore be thou comforted, and be thou full strong, that thou keep and do all the law, which Moses, my servant, commanded to thee; bow thou not from it to the right side, either to the left side, that thou understand all things which thou doest.

⁸The book of this law depart not from thy mouth, but thou shalt think therein in days and nights, that thou keep and do all things that be written therein; then thou shalt dress thy way, and thou shalt understand it.

⁹Lo! I command to thee; be thou comforted, and be thou strong; do not thou dread, nor be thou afeared; for thy Lord God is with thee in all things, to which thou goest.

¹¹Pass ye through the midst of the castles or tents, and command ye to the people, and say ye, Make ye ready meats to you; for after the third day ye shall pass over Jordan, and ye shall enter to wield the land, which your Lord God shall give to you.

¹²Also Joshua said to men of Reuben, and to men of Gad, and to the half lineage of Manasseh.

¹³Have ye mind of the word which Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded to you, and said, Your Lord God hath given to you rest, and all the land;

¹⁴your wives, and your sons, and your beasts shall dwell in the land that Moses gave to you beyond Jordan; but pass ye over armed, all strong in hand, before your brethren; and fight ye for them,
