The Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the Lord said.

The Lord your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations before you, so that you shall dispossess them, and Joshua will go over at your head, as the Lord has spoken.

But the Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy the nations living there, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua will lead you across the river, just as the Lord promised.

The LORD your God is the one who will cross ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will drive them out. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, as the LORD has said.

It is the Lord your God who is going to cross ahead of you; He Himself will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua is the one who is going to cross ahead of you, just as the Lord has spoken.

The Lord your God Himself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself crosses over before you, just as the Lord has said.

Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee; he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.

The Lord your God is the One who will cross ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will drive them out. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, as the Lord has said.

The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee,[ and] he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them:[ and] Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

As for the LORD your God, he is about to cross over before you; he will destroy these nations before you and dispossess them. As for Joshua, he is about to cross before you just as the LORD has said.

Yahweh your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

But today you can be sure the Lord your God will go over there ahead of you. He is like a fire that will burn them up. He’ll destroy them. He’ll bring them under your control. You will drive them out. You will put an end to them quickly, just as the Lord has promised you.

So appoint Joshua as the new leader. Help him to be brave. Give him hope and strength. He will take these people across the Jordan. You will see the land. But he will lead them into it to take it as their own.”

That day the Lord honored Joshua in the eyes of all the Israelites. They had respect for Joshua as long as he lived. They respected him just as much as they had respected Moses.

“ My servant Moses is dead. Now then, I want you and all these people to get ready to go across the Jordan River. I want all of you to go into the land I am about to give to the Israelites.

The Lord gave a command to Joshua, the son of Nun. He said,“ Be strong and brave. You will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them. I myself will be with you.”

Suppose Joshua had given them rest. If he had, God would not have spoken later about another day.

Don’t put your trust in human leaders. Don’t trust in people who can’t save you.When they die, they return to the ground. On that day their plans come to nothing.Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

By your power you drove out the nations. You gave our people homes in the land. You crushed the people who were there. And you made our people do well.They didn’t win the land with their swords. They didn’t gain success by their own power. Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them victory. You gave them success because you loved them.

Our people received the tent from God. Then they brought it with them when they took the land of Canaan. God drove out the nations that were in their way. At that time Joshua was Israel’s leader. The tent remained in the land until David’s time.

So the Lord said to Moses,“ Joshua, the son of Nun, has the ability to be a wise leader. Get him and place your hand on him.Have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the whole community. Put him in charge while everyone is watching.Give him some of your authority. Then the whole community of Israel will obey him.Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar the priest. Eleazar will help him make decisions. Eleazar will get help from me by using the Urim. Joshua and the whole community of Israel must not make any move at all unless I command them to.”

The Lord said to Moses,“ The day when you will die is near. Have Joshua go to the tent of meeting. Join him there. That is where I will appoint him as the new leader.” So Joshua and Moses went to the tent of meeting.

Then Moses sent for Joshua. Moses spoke to him in front of all the Israelites. He said,“ Be strong and brave. You must go with these people. They are going into the land the Lord promised to give to their people of long ago. You must divide it up among them. They will each receive their share.The Lord himself will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will never leave you. He’ll never desert you. So don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope.”

Joshua, the son of Nun, was filled with wisdom. That’s because Moses had placed his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to Joshua. They did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Lord said to Joshua,“ Today I will begin to honor you in the eyes of all the Israelites. Then they will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses.

Then Israel said to Joseph,“ I’m about to die. But God will be with all of you. He’ll take you back to the land of your fathers.
