¹ Nowe after the death of Moses the seruant of the Lord, it came to passe, that the Lord spake vnto Ioshua the sonne of Nun, Moses minister, saying,

² Moses my seruant is dead: now therefore arise, goe ouer this Iordan, thou, and all this people, vnto the land which I doe giue to them, euen to the children of Israel.

³ Euery place that the sole of your foote shall tread vpon, that haue I giuen vnto you, as I said vnto Moses.

⁴ From the wildernesse and this Lebanon, euen vnto the great Riuer, the riuer Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and vnto the great sea, toward the going downe of the Sunne, shalbe your coast.

⁵ There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the dayes of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not faile thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶ Bee strong, and of a good courage: for vnto this people shalt thou diuide for an inheritance the land which I sware vnto their fathers to giue them.

⁷ Onely bee thou strong, and very courageous, that thou mayest obserue to doe according to all the Law, which Moses my seruant commaunded thee: turne not from it to the right hand, or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whither soeuer thou goest.

⁸ This booke of the Law shal not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest obserue to doe according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt haue good successe.

⁹ Haue not I commanded thee? be strong, and of a good courage, bee not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee, whither soeuer thou goest.

¹⁰ ¶ Then Ioshua commanded the Officers of the people, saying,

¹¹ Passe through the hoste, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals: for within three dayes ye shal passe ouer this Iordan, to goe in to possesse the land which the Lord your God giueth you, to possesse it.

¹² ¶ And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh, spake Ioshua, saying,

¹³ Remember the word which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath giuen you rest, and hath giuen you this land:

¹⁴ Your wiues, your litle ones, and your cattell shall remaine in the lande which Moses gaue you on this side Iordan; but ye shall passe before your brethren armed, all the mightie men of valour, and helpe them:

¹⁵ Untill the Lord haue giuen your brethren rest, as he hath giuen you, and they also haue possessed the lande which the Lord your God giueth them: then yee shall returne vnto the land of your possession, and enioy it, which Moses the Lords seruant gaue you on this side Iordan toward the Sunne rising.

¹⁶ ¶ And they answered Ioshua, saying, All that thou commandest vs, we will doe, and whither soeuer thou sendest vs, we will goe.

¹⁷ According as we hearkened vnto Moses in all things, so will we hearken vnto thee: onely the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

¹⁸ Whosoeuer he be that doth rebell against thy commandement, and will not hearken vnto thy words, in all that thou commandest him, he shall bee put to death: onely be strong, and of a good courage.

The book of law, which is the word of God is a medicine prescribed by Doctor Jesus, with a full dosage (day and night) for all His patients so that they can be healed (prosperous and enjoy good success).

l believe Joshua was among the first spies sent by Moses and brought a good report, before they could enter Canaan after leaving Egypt. And now having been watching a whole generation perish in the desert, and another raised to accomplish what first one couldn’t. He was an obedient learner who regretted why they couldn’t have obeyed in first place. He therefore summed up that he and his house shall serve the Lord.

I believe that Joshua was a good servant of God to be trusted to replace the great servant of God Moses.

I love reading the Bible, I lost my mother in November, and I was bad. People of GOD so prayed then really made it. Now I know I was blessed to have her as long as I did. Please pray for me I am still hurt, but not bad. I don't if I will ever see her again.

I want to share the word of God from King James Bible on my Facebook account. Thanks.

Rashay's Joshua Chapter 1 comment on 1/09/2013, 9:15am...

I believe that Joshua was appointed for the position because he was a good follower, humble. God chose him to carry the task out. God is looking for fearless people to trust, obey and understand his word and what he is requiring. God’s desire is to bless you but most of the time, it’s always a CHALLENGE before the blessing.
