Joshua 1:5

1:5 No one will be able to resist you ¹  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.

Joshua 1:9

1:9 I repeat, ²  be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, ³  for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do.” ⁴ 

Joshua 1:17

1:17 Just as we obeyed ⁵  Moses, so we will obey you. But ⁶  may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses!

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

[1:9]  ² 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]  ³ tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

[1:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[1:17]  ³ tn Heb “listened to.”

[1:17]  ⁴ tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 18 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).
