So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua and went up the mountain of God.

Joshua son of Nun, assistant to Moses since his youth, responded,“ Moses, my lord, stop them!”

The LORD said to Moses,“ The time of your death is now approaching. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting so that I may commission him.” When Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting,

The LORD replied to Moses,“ Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.Have him stand before the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and commission him in their sight.Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him.He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the LORD for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before the priest Eleazar and the entire community,

Moses then summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land the LORD swore to give to their ancestors. You will enable them to take possession of it.The LORD is the one who will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”

After the death of Moses the LORD’s servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’s assistant:“ Moses my servant is dead. Now you and all the people prepare to cross over the Jordan to the land I am giving the Israelites.I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.Your territory will be from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great river, the Euphrates River— all the land of the Hittites— and west to the Mediterranean Sea.No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. I will be with you, just as I was with Moses. I will not leave you or abandon you.“ Be strong and courageous, for you will distribute the land I swore to their ancestors to give them as an inheritance.Above all, be strong and very courageous to observe carefully the whole instruction my servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you will have success wherever you go.This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem and summoned Israel’s elders, leaders, judges, and officers, and they presented themselves before God.Joshua said to all the people,“ This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:‘ Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.But I took your father Abraham from the region beyond the Euphrates River, led him throughout the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac,and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau as a possession.“‘ Jacob and his sons, however, went down to Egypt.I sent Moses and Aaron, and I defeated Egypt by what I did within it, and afterward I brought you out.When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued your ancestors with chariots and horsemen as far as the sea.Your ancestors cried out to the LORD, so he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea over them, engulfing them. Your own eyes saw what I did to Egypt. After that, you lived in the wilderness a long time.“‘ Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I handed them over to you. You possessed their land, and I annihilated them before you.Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you,but I would not listen to Balaam. Instead, he repeatedly blessed you, and I rescued you from him.“‘ You then crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. Jericho’s citizens— as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hethites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites— fought against you, but I handed them over to you.I sent hornets ahead of you, and they drove out the two Amorite kings before you. It was not by your sword or bow.I gave you a land you did not labor for, and cities you did not build, though you live in them; you are eating from vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.’“ Therefore, fear the LORD and worship him in sincerity and truth. Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and worship the LORD.But if it doesn’t please you to worship the LORD, choose for yourselves today: Which will you worship— the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living? As for me and my family, we will worship the LORD.”The people replied,“ We will certainly not abandon the LORD to worship other gods!For the LORD our God brought us and our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us all along the way we went and among all the peoples whose lands we traveled through.The LORD drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will worship the LORD, because he is our God.”But Joshua told the people,“ You will not be able to worship the LORD, because he is a holy God. He is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.If you abandon the LORD and worship foreign gods, he will turn against you, harm you, and completely destroy you, after he has been good to you.”“ No!” the people answered Joshua.“ We will worship the LORD.”Joshua then told the people,“ You are witnesses against yourselves that you yourselves have chosen to worship the LORD.”“ We are witnesses,” they said.“ Then get rid of the foreign gods that are among you and turn your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”So the people said to Joshua,“ We will worship the LORD our God and obey him.”On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people at Shechem and established a statute and ordinance for them.Joshua recorded these things in the book of the law of God; he also took a large stone and set it up there under the oak at the sanctuary of the LORD.And Joshua said to all the people,“ You see this stone— it will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD said to us, and it will be a witness against you, so that you will not deny your God.”Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.After these things, the LORD’s servant, Joshua son of Nun, died at the age of 110.They buried him in his allotted territory at Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.Israel worshiped the LORD throughout Joshua’s lifetime and during the lifetimes of the elders who outlived Joshua and who had experienced all the works the LORD had done for Israel.Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the parcel of land Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. It was an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the presence of the people.

Moses said to Joshua,“ Select some men for us and go fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with God’s staff in my hand.”Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought against Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.While Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, but whenever he put his hand down, Amalek prevailed.When Moses’s hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat down on it. Then Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.So Joshua defeated Amalek and his army with the sword.

They answered Joshua,“ Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.

These were the names of the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and Moses renamed Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.

The LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I swore to them, and I will be with you.”

When Joshua heard the sound of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses,“ There is a sound of war in the camp.”
