1
And it came to pass that Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain and יהוה (YHVH) did show unto him all the lands.
2
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Moses: This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, and unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying: I will give it unto thy seed;
3
I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
4
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did take Moses unto Himself; therefore, he should have no sepulcher as would a common man of Israel.
5
And it was Moses who did instruct us with the Torah, ever the inheritance of the congregation of Israel.
6
And he was king in Israel when the heads of the people and the tribes of Jacob were gathered together.
7
And so it was that the children of Israel did weep for Moses for thirty days; so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
8
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, the son of Nun, even the servant of Moses, saying: Arise!
9
Cross thou over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, for I do now give it, even to the children of Israel.
10
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you as I said unto Moses.
11
Yea, and from the mouth of that wilderness, and from here even unto the great river;
12
Yea, and all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your coast.
13
¶ And it shall come to pass that there shall be no people that will stand before thee all the days of thy life:
14
As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, Joshua; I will not fail thee nor forsake thee;
15
Therefore, be strong and of good courage; for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I did swear unto their fathers and their mothers to give unto them.
16
Wherefore, be strong and very courageous, and thou will observe to do according to all that Torah which Moses, my servant, did command thee;
17
Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
18
And see that the book of the Torah doth not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein;
19
And then it shall be that I shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
20
¶ Have not I commanded thee? Therefore, be strong and of a good courage;
21
Be not afraid; neither be thou dismayed, for I, יהוה (YHVH) thy Elohim, am with thee whithersoever thou goest.
