The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the farthest sea from the setting of the sun, shall be your borders.
No man shall withstand you all the days of your life. And just as I was with Moses, so also will I be with you; and I will not forsake you, nor will I overlook you.
Be strong therefore and be a man, to observe and to do according as Moses my servant commanded you; and you shall not turn aside from them to the right or to the left, that you may have understanding in everything you do.
And the book of this law shall not depart from your mouth, and you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may understand to do all that is written in it. Then you will prosper, and you will make your ways prosperous, and then you will understand.
Go through the midst of the camp of the people and command the people, saying: Prepare provisions, for yet three days and you are to cross this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land which the Lord the God of your fathers is giving you.
Remember the word of the Lord which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying: The Lord your God has given you rest and has given you this land.
Your wives and your children and your livestock shall dwell in the land which he gave you; but you yourselves shall cross over well-girded, ahead of your brothers, everyone who is strong, and you shall fight alongside them,
until the Lord your God gives your brothers rest as he did you, and they also inherit the land which the Lord our God is giving them. Then you shall each go away to his own inheritance, which Moses has given you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.
And the man who disobeys you and whoever does not listen to your words, according to whatever you command him, let him die. But be strong and be a man.
