Joshua 1:4

Read in context

Joshua 1:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.

3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.

4 Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.

5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
