1 And it came to passe after the death
of Moyses the seruant of our Lord,
that our Lord spake to Iosue the sonne
of Nun, the minister of Moyses, and
said to him:
2 Moyses my seruant is
deade: arise, and passe ouer this Iordan
thou and al the people with thee,
into the Land, which I will geue to the
children of Israel.
3 Euerie place, the steppe of your foote
shal treade, wil I deliuer to you, as I haue spoken to Moyses.
4 From the desert and Libanus vnto the great riuer Euphrates,
al the land of the Hetheites vnto the great sea against the
going downe of the sunne, shal be your border.
5 No man
shal be able to resist you al the daies of thy life: as I haue
beene with Moyses, so wil I be with thee: I wil not leaue,
nor forsake thee,
6 Take courage, and be strong: for thou
shalt by lotte diuide to this people the Land, for the which
I sware to their fathers, that I would deliuer it to them.
7 Take courage therfore, and be very strong: that thou keepe
and doe al the Law, which Moyses my seruant hath commanded
thee: decline not from it to the right hand or to the
left, that thou mayest vnderstand al thinges which thou
doest.
8 Let not the volume of this law depart from thy
mouth: but thou shalt meditate in it daies and nightes, that
-- --
Preparation to passe Iordan
thou maiest keepe and doe al thinges that be written in it:
then shalt thou direct thy way, and vnderstand it.
9 Behold
I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Feare not, and
dreade not: because the Lord thy God is with thee in al the
thinges to whatsoeuer thou shalt goe.
10 And Iosue commanded
the princes of the people, saying: Passe through the middes
of the campe, and command the people, and say:
11 Prepare
for your selues note victuals: for after the third day you shal
passe ouer Iordan, and shal enter to possesse the Land, which
our Lord your God wil geue you.
12 To the Rubenites also
and Gaddites, and halfe tribe of Manasses he said:
13 Remember
the word, which Moyses the seruant of our Lord
commanded you, saying: Our Lord your God hath geuen
you rest, and al this Land.
14 Your wiues, and children, and
cattel shal tarie in the Land, which Moyses deliuered to you
beyond Iordan: but passe you ouer armed before your brethren,
al that are strong of hand, & fight for them,
15 vntil our
Lord geue rest to your brethren as to you also he hath geuen,
and they also possesse the Land which our Lord your God wil
geue them: and so returne into the Land of your possession,
and you shal dwel in it, which Moyses the seruant of our Lord
gaue you beyond Iordan, against the rysing of the sunne.
16 And they made answer to Iosue, and said: Al thinges, that
thou hast commanded vs we wil doe: and whither soeuer
thou shalt send vs, we wil goe.
17 As we obeyed Moyses in
al thinges, so wil we obey thee also: only be our Lord thy
God with thee, as he was with Moyses.
18 He that shal gainesay
thy mouth, and not obey al thy wordes, that thou shalt
command him, let him die. thou only take courage, and doe
manfully.
