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.

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.”

Any man who rebels against what you say and does not obey all your commands will be executed. But be strong and brave!”

Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then.

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.

The whole hill country will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”
