Joshua 1:2-4
1:2 “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.
1:3 I am handing over to you every place you set foot, as I promised Moses.

and all the way to the Mediterranean Sea
in the west.

Joshua 3:10-13
3:10 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.
3:11 Look! The ark of the covenant of the Ruler
of the whole earth is ready to enter the Jordan ahead of you.
3:12 Now select for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.
3:13 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.”

44:3 For they did not conquer the land by their swords,
and they did not prevail by their strength,
but rather by your power, strength and good favor,
for you were partial to them.

and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.
Psalms 105:44
