Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass, that the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, Moses'H4872 ministerH8334, sayingH559,
MosesH4872 my servantH5650 is deadH4191; now therefore ariseH6965, go overH5674 this JordanH3383, thou, and all this peopleH5971, unto the landH776 which I do giveH5414 to them, even to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Every placeH4725 that the soleH3709 of your footH7272 shall tread uponH1869, that have I givenH5414 unto you, as I saidH1696 unto MosesH4872.
From the wildernessH4057 and this LebanonH3844 even unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, all the landH776 of the HittitesH2850, and unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the going downH3996 of the sunH8121, shall be your coastH1366.
There shall not any manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee: I will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.
Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for unto this peopleH5971 shalt thou divide for an inheritanceH5157 the landH776, which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them. {unto this…: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310; but thou shalt meditateH1897 therein dayH3119 and nightH3915, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and then thou shalt have good successH7919. {have…: or, do wisely}
Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553; be not afraidH6206, neither be thou dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goestH3212.
Then JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the officersH7860 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
PassH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264, and commandH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, PrepareH3559 you victualsH6720; for within threeH7969 daysH3117 ye shall pass overH5674 this JordanH3383, to go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 you to possessH3423 it.
And to the ReubenitesH7206, and to the GaditesH1425, and to halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, spakeH559 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
RememberH2142 the wordH1697 which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given you restH5117, and hath givenH5414 you this landH776.
Your wivesH802, your little onesH2945, and your cattleH4735, shall remainH3427 in the landH776 which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383; but ye shall passH5674 beforeH6440 your brethrenH251 armedH2571, all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428, and helpH5826 them; {armed: Heb. marshalled by five}
Until the LORDH3068 have givenH5117 your brethrenH251 restH5117, as he hath given you, and they also have possessedH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 them: then ye shall returnH7725 unto the landH776 of your possessionH3425, and enjoyH3423 it, which MosesH4872 the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121.
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, All that thou commandestH6680 us we will doH6213, and whithersoeverH834 thou sendestH7971 us, we will goH3212.
According as we hearkenedH8085 unto MosesH4872 in all things, so will we hearkenH8085 unto thee: only the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 be with thee, as he was with MosesH4872.
WhosoeverH376 he be that doth rebelH4784 against thy commandmentH6310, and will not hearkenH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 in all that thou commandestH6680 him, he shall be put to deathH4191: only be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553.

And these wordsH1697, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, shall be in thine heartH3824:
And thou shalt teach them diligentlyH8150 unto thy childrenH1121, and shalt talkH1696 of them when thou sittestH3427 in thine houseH1004, and when thou walkestH3212 by the wayH1870, and when thou liest downH7901, and when thou risest upH6965. {teach: Heb. whet, or, sharpen}
And thou shalt bindH7194 them for a signH226 upon thine handH3027, and they shall be as frontletsH2903 between thine eyesH5869.
And thou shalt writeH3789 them upon the postsH4201 of thy houseH1004, and on thy gatesH8179.
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
O that there were suchH2088 anH4310 heartH3824 in themH5414, that they would fearH3372 me, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3117, that it might be wellH3190 with them, and with their childrenH1121 for everH5769!
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
Therefore shall ye lay upH7760 these my wordsH1697 in your heartH3824 and in your soulH5315, and bindH7194 them for a signH226 upon your handH3027, that they may be as frontletsH2903 between your eyesH5869.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
Ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 therefore as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you: ye shall not turn asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And ye shall teachH3925 them your childrenH1121, speakingH1696 of them when thou sittestH3427 in thine houseH1004, and when thou walkestH3212 by the wayH1870, when thou liestH7901 down, and when thou risest upH6965.
Let the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310, and the meditationH1902 of my heartH3820, be acceptableH7522 in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068, my strengthH6697, and my redeemerH1350. {strength: Heb. rock}
Ye shall walkH3212 in all the waysH1870 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you, that ye may liveH2421, and that it may be wellH2895 with you, and that ye may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH776 which ye shall possessH3423.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
Now these are the commandmentsH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 to teachH3925 you, that ye might doH6213 them in the landH776 whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it: {go: Heb. pass over}
That thou mightest fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his statutesH2708 and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416; and that thy daysH3117 may be prolongedH748.
HearH8085 therefore, O IsraelH3478, and observeH8104 to doH6213 it; that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and that ye may increaseH7235 mightilyH3966, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 hath promisedH1696 thee, in the landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
NotG3756 every oneG3956 that saithG3004 unto meG3427, LordG2962, LordG2962, shall enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; butG235 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of myG3450 FatherG3962 which is inG1722 heavenG3772.
But the wordH1697 is veryH3966 nighH7138 unto thee, in thy mouthH6310, and in thy heartH3824, that thou mayest doH6213 it.
ThereforeG3767 whosoeverG3956+G3748 hearethG191 theseG5128 sayingsG3056 of mineG3450, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will likenG3666 himG846 unto a wiseG5429 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3614 uponG1909 a rockG4073:
When all IsraelH3478 is comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which he shall chooseH977, thou shalt readH7121 this lawH8451 before all IsraelH3478 in their hearingH241.
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
TeachingG1321 themG846 to observeG5083 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745 I have commandedG1781 youG5213: andG2532, loG2400, IG1473 amG1510 withG3326 youG5216 alwayG3956+G2250, even untoG2193 the endG4930 of the worldG165. AmenG281.
The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 speakethH1897 wisdomH2451, and his tongueH3956 talkethH1696 of judgmentH4941.
My sonH1121, if thou wilt receiveH3947 my wordsH561, and hideH6845 my commandmentsH4687 with thee;
So that thou inclineH7181 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, and applyH5186 thine heartH3820 to understandingH8394;
Yea, if thou criestH7121 after knowledgeH998, and liftest upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394; {liftest…: Heb. givest thy voice}
If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301;
Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.
ButG1161 heG846 saidG2036, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846.
The lawH8451 of his GodH430 is in his heartH3820; none of his stepsH838 shall slideH4571. {steps: or, goings}
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
LetG1774 the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 inG1722 youG5213 richlyG4146 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; teachingG1321 andG2532 admonishingG3560 one anotherG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 withG1722 graceG5485 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 to the LordG2962.
He that hathG2192 myG3450 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 keepethG5083 themG846, heG1565 it isG2076 that lovethG25 meG3165: andG1161 he that lovethG25 meG3165 shall be lovedG25 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 IG1473 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 will manifestG1718 myselfG1683 to himG846.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
NeglectG272 notG3361 the giftG5486 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3739 was givenG1325 theeG4671 byG1223 prophecyG4394, withG3326 the laying onG1936 of the handsG5495 of the presbyteryG4244.
Meditate uponG3191 these thingsG5023; give thyselfG2468 wholly toG1722 themG5125; thatG2443 thyG4675 profitingG4297 mayG5600 appearG5318 toG1722 allG3956. {to all: or, in all things}
Take heedG1907 unto thyselfG4572, andG2532 unto the doctrineG1319; continueG1961 in themG846: forG1063 in doingG4160 thisG5124 thou shaltG4982 bothG2532 saveG4982 thyselfG4572, andG2532 them that hearG191 theeG4675.
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
ForG3754 if anyG1536 beG2076 a hearerG202 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3756 a doerG4163, heG3778 is likeG1503 unto a manG435 beholdingG2657 hisG846 naturalG1078 faceG4383 inG1722 a glassG2072:
ForG1063 he beholdethG2657 himselfG1438, andG2532 goeth his wayG565, andG2532 straightwayG2112 forgettethG1950 what manner of manG3697 he wasG2258.
ButG1161 whoso lookethG3879 intoG1519 the perfectG5046 lawG3551 of libertyG1657, andG2532 continuethG3887 therein, heG3778 beingG1096 notG3756 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202, butG235 a doerG4163 of the workG2041, this manG3778 shall beG2071 blessedG3107 inG1722 hisG846 deedG4162. {deed: or, doing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
BlessedG3107 are they that doG4160 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, thatG2443 theyG846 may haveG2071 rightG1849 toG1909 the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, andG2532 may enterG1525 in through the gatesG4440 intoG1519 the cityG4172.
As for me, this is my covenantH1285 with them, saithH559 the LORDH3068; My spiritH7307 that is upon thee, and my wordsH1697 which I have putH7760 in thy mouthH6310, shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seedH2233, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seed'sH2233 seedH2233, saithH559 the LORDH3068, from henceforth and forH5704 everH5769.
