But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”

So appoint Joshua as the new leader. Help him to be brave. Give him hope and strength. He will take these people across the Jordan. You will see the land. But he will lead them into it to take it as their own.”

But charge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’

Instead, commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead the people across the Jordan. He will give them all the land you now see before you as their possession.’

But commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit this land that you will see.’

But commission Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go across leading this people, and he will give to them, as an inheritance, the land which you will see.’

But command Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.’

But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

But commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit this land that you will see.’

But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

As for the LORD your God, he is about to cross over before you; he will destroy these nations before you and dispossess them. As for Joshua, he is about to cross before you just as the LORD has said.

Then Moses called out to Joshua in the presence of all Israel,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the LORD promised to give their ancestors, and you will enable them to inherit it.

However, Joshua son of Nun, your assistant, will go. Encourage him, because he will enable Israel to inherit the land.

and the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will take the Israelites to the land I have promised them, and I will be with you.”

The LORD replied to Moses,“ Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is such a spirit, and lay your hand on him;set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community, and commission him publicly.Then you must delegate some of your authority to him, so that the whole community of the Israelites will be obedient.And he will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the decision of the Urim. At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community.”So Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the LORD commanded, by the authority of Moses.

David said to his son Solomon:“ Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! For the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the LORD’s temple is finished.

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day.

I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who made his good confession before Pontius Pilate,to obey this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

Our ancestors received possession of it and brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our ancestors, until the time of David.

“ And you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, for the LORD examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.Realize now that the LORD has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.And entrust what you heard me say in the presence of many others as witnesses to faithful people who will be competent to teach others as well.Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:Preach the message, be ready whether it is convenient or not, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience and instruction.For there will be a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.You, however, be self- controlled in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry.For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for me to depart is at hand.

He summoned his son Solomon and charged him to build a temple for the LORD God of Israel.

The LORD told Joshua,“ This very day I will begin to honor you before all Israel so they will know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenant,‘ When you reach the bank of the Jordan River, wade into the water.’”Joshua told the Israelites,“ Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God!”Joshua continued,“ This is how you will know the living God is among you and that he will truly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.Look! The ark of the covenant of the Ruler of the whole earth is ready to enter the Jordan ahead of you.Now select for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.When the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the LORD, the Ruler of the whole earth, touch the water of the Jordan, the water coming downstream toward you will stop flowing and pile up.”So when the people left their tents to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.When the ones carrying the ark reached the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark touched the surface of the water–( the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest time)–the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing. It piled up far upstream at Adam( the city near Zarethan); there was no water at all flowing to the sea of the Arabah( the Salt Sea). The people crossed the river opposite Jericho.The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan. All Israel crossed over on dry ground until the entire nation was on the other side.

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

“ Moses my servant is dead. Get ready! Cross the Jordan River! Lead these people into the land which I am ready to hand over to them.

“ Now, my son, may the LORD be with you! May you succeed and build a temple for the LORD your God, just as he announced you would.Only may the LORD give you insight and understanding when he places you in charge of Israel, so you may obey the law of the LORD your God.Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the rules and regulations which the LORD ordered Moses to give to Israel. Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic!Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the LORD’s temple. I have stored up 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more!You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and an innumerable array of workers who are skilledin using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Get up and begin the work! May the LORD be with you!”
