Joshua instructed the leaders of the people:

and told them: “You have carried out all the instructions of Moses the Lord’s servant, and you have obeyed all I have told you.

So Joshua instructed the priests, “Come up from the Jordan!”

Moses the Lord’s servant passed on the Lord’s commands to Joshua, and Joshua did as he was told. He did not ignore any of the commands the Lord had given Moses.

“Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenantal laws to come up from the Jordan.”

The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

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

They told Joshua, “We will do everything you say. We will go wherever you send us.

Make sure you are very strong and brave! Carefully obey all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep! Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful in all you do.

“Go through the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your supplies, for within three days you will cross the Jordan River and begin the conquest of the land the Lord your God is ready to hand over to you.’”

“Remember what Moses the Lord’s servant commanded you. The Lord your God is giving you a place to settle and is handing this land over to you.
