06:001:001 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came
to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
Moses' minister, saying,
06:001:002 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this
Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
give to them, even to the children of Israel.
06:001:003 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
06:001:004 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
06:001:005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee:

06:001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
06:001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
06:001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
