1. Moses was the servant of the Lord. Joshua son of Nun was Moses’ assistant. After Moses died, the Lord said to Joshua:
2. “My servant Moses is dead. Now you and all these people go across the Jordan River. Go into the land I am giving to the people of Israel.
3. I promised Moses I would give you this land. So I will give you every place you go in the land.
4. All the land from the desert in the south to Lebanon in the north will be yours. All the land from the great river, the Euphrates, in the east, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west will be yours. This includes the land of the Hittites.
