Judges 4:6

Joshua 1:5-9

1:5 No one will be able to resist you ²  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! You must lead these people in the conquest of this land that I solemnly promised their ancestors I would hand over to them. ³  1:7 Make sure you are ⁴  very strong and brave! Carefully obey ⁵  all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep! ⁶  Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful ⁷  in all you do. ⁸  1:8 This law scroll must not leave your lips! ⁹  You must memorize it ¹⁰  day and night so you can carefully obey ¹¹  all that is written in it. Then you will prosper ¹²  and be successful. ¹³  1:9 I repeat, ¹⁴  be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, ¹⁵  for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do.” ¹⁶ 

Joshua 1:1

The Lord Commissions Joshua

1:1 After Moses the Lord’s servant died, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant:

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 land ¹⁷  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 walked ²⁰  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

11:32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets.

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,

[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “sent and summoned.”

[1:5]  ² tn Heb “A man will not stand before you.” The second person pronouns in this verse are singular, indicating Joshua is the addressee.

[1:6]  ³ tn 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.

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Or “Only be.”

[1:7]  ⁵ tn 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!”

[1:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “commanded you.”

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[1:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “mouth.”

[1:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

[1:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

[1:8]  ¹² tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

[1:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:9]  ¹⁴ tn 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.

[1:9]  ¹⁵ tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

[1:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[12:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[14:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “swore an oath.”

[14:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “on which your foot has walked.”

[14:9]  ²¹ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

[11:34]  ²² tn Grk “quenched the power of fire.”

[11:34]  ²³ tn Or “recovered from sickness.”
