And the angel of the Lord was standing by.And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured Joshua,“ Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.
