Chapter 1

1After the death of Moshe the servant of Hashem, Hashem said to Yehoshua son of Nun, Moshe's attendant:

vai-HEE a-kha-RAY MOT mo-SHEH E-ved a-do-NAI va-YO-mer a-do-NAI el y'-ho-SHU-a bin NUN m'-sha-RAYT mo-SHEH lay-MOR

2“My servant Moshe is dead. Prepare to cross the Yarden, together with all this people, into the land that I am giving to the Israelites.

3Every spot on which your foot treads I give to you, as I promised Moshe.

4Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and the Lebanon to the Great River, the River Euphrates [on the east]—the whole Hittite country—and up to the Mediterranean Sea on the west.

5No one shall be able to resist you as long as you live. As I was with Moshe, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

6“Be strong and resolute, for you shall apportion to this people the land that I swore to their fathers to assign to them.

7But you must be very strong and resolute to observe faithfully all the Teaching that My servant Moshe enjoined upon you. Do not deviate from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

8Let not this Book of the Teaching cease from your lips, but recite it day and night, so that you may observe faithfully all that is written in it. Only then will you prosper in your undertakings and only then will you be successful.

9“I charge you: Be strong and resolute; do not be terrified or dismayed, for Hashem your God is with you wherever you go.”

10Yehoshua thereupon gave orders to the officials of the people:

11“Go through the camp and charge the people thus: Get provisions ready, for in three days' time you are to cross the Yarden, in order to enter and possess the land that Hashem your God is giving you as a possession.”

12Then Yehoshua said to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Menashe,

13“Remember what Moshe the servant of Hashem enjoined upon you, when he said: ‘Hashem your God is granting you a haven; He has assigned this territory to you.'

14Let your wives, children, and livestock remain in the land that Moshe assigned to you on this side of the Yarden; but every one of your fighting men shall go across armed in the van of your kinsmen. And you shall assist them

15until Hashem has given your kinsmen a haven, such as you have, and they too have gained possession of the land that Hashem your God has assigned to them. Then you may return to the land on the east side of the Yarden, which Moshe the servant of Hashem assigned to you as your possession, and you may possess it.”

16They answered Yehoshua, “We will do everything you have commanded us and we will go wherever you send us.
