Joshua 1:5-9

1:5 No one will be able to resist you² all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not abandon you or leave you alone. 1:6 Be strong and brave!

Joshua 12:11

12:11 the king of Jarmuth (one),

the king of Lachish (one),

Joshua 12:1

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land¹⁷ on the east side of the Jordan,¹⁸ from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern Arabah:

Joshua 14:9-10

14:9 That day Moses made this solemn promise:¹⁹ ‘Surely the land on which you walked²⁰ will belong to you and your descendants permanently,²¹ for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’ 14:10 So now, look, the Lord has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the Lord spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.

Hebrews 11:32

Hebrews 11:34

11:34 quenched raging fire,²² escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness,²³ became mighty in battle, put foreign armies to flight,

¹tn Heb “sent and summoned.”

²tn Heb “A man will not stand before you.” The second person pronouns in this verse are singular, indicating Joshua is the addressee.

³tn Heb “For you will cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.” The pronoun “them” at the end of the verse refers to either the people or to the fathers.

⁴tn Or “Only be.”

⁵tn Heb “so you can be careful to do.” The use of the infinitive לִשְׁמֹר (lishmor, “to keep”) after the imperatives suggests that strength and bravery will be necessary for obedience. Another option is to take the form לִשְׁמֹר as a vocative lamed (ל) with imperative (see Isa 38:20 for an example of this construction), which could be translated, “Indeed, be careful!”

⁶tn Heb “commanded you.”

⁷tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

⁸tn Heb “in all which you go.”

⁵tn Heb “mouth.”

⁶tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

⁷tn Heb “be careful to do.”

⁸tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

⁹tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

⁶tn Heb “Have I not commanded you?” The rhetorical question emphasizes the importance of the following command by reminding the listener that it is being repeated.

⁷tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

⁸tn Heb “in all which you go.”

⁷tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

⁸tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

⁸tn Heb “swore an oath.”

⁹tn Heb “on which your foot has walked.”

¹⁰tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

⁹tn Grk “quenched the power of fire.”
