²³ And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.

¹⁹ And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

²⁸ But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.

⁷ Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

⁸ It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.
