Deuteronomy 3:28

3:28 Commission ¹  Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, because he will lead these people over and will enable them to inherit the land you will see.”

Deuteronomy 11:8

The Abundance of the Land of Promise

11:8 Now pay attention to all the commandments ²  I am giving ³  you today, so that you may be strong enough to enter and possess the land where you are headed, ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

² tn Heb “the commandment.” The singular מִצְוָה (mitsvah, “commandment”) speaks here as elsewhere of the whole corpus of covenant stipulations in Deuteronomy (cf. 6:1, 25; 7:11; 8:1).

³ tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB, NRSV). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in vv. 13, 27).

⁴ tn Heb “which you are crossing over there to possess it.”
