God Commissions Joshua
1 After the death of Moses the (A)servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' (B)assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 (C)Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 (D)From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 (E)No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just (F)as I was with Moses, so (G)I will be with you. (H)I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 (I)Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and (J)very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law (K)that Moses my servant commanded you. (L)Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a] wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but (M)you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? (N)Be strong and courageous. (O)Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua Assumes Command
10 And Joshua commanded the (P)officers of the people, 11 “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for (Q)within three days (R)you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”
12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, 13 “Remember the word that (S)Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest and will give you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them, 15 (T)until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. (U)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and shall possess it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.”
16 And they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God (V)be with you, as he was with Moses! 18 Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. (W)Only be strong and courageous.”

I.— CONQUISTA DE LA TIERRA PROMETIDA (1—12)
Preparativos y paso del Jordán (1—5)
Orden de entrar en la tierra prometida
1 Una vez que murió Moisés, siervo del Señor, dijo el Señor a Josué, hijo de Nun, ayudante de Moisés:
2 — Moisés, mi siervo, ha muerto. Disponte, pues, a cruzar ese Jordán, con todo este pueblo, hacia la tierra que yo doy a los israelitas. 3 Les entrego a ustedes todo lugar donde pongan el pie, según prometí a Moisés. 4 El territorio de ustedes abarcará desde el desierto hasta el Líbano, y desde el río Grande, el Éufrates, hasta el mar Grande por el oeste, (todo el país de los hititas). 5 Nadie te podrá hacer frente mientras vivas: lo mismo que estuve con Moisés, estaré contigo; no te dejaré ni te abandonaré. 6 Pórtate, pues, con fortaleza y valentía porque vas a ser tú quien darás a este pueblo la posesión de la tierra que juré dar a sus antepasados. 7 Esto es lo único que se te pide: que seas fuerte y valiente y cumplas toda la ley que te dio mi siervo Moisés. No te desvíes de ella ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda; así tendrás éxito en todo lo que emprendas. 8 Medita día y noche el libro de esta ley teniéndolo siempre en tus labios; si obras en todo conforme a lo que se prescribe en él, prosperarás y tendrás éxito en todo cuanto emprendas. 9 Te he mandado que seas fuerte y valiente. No tengas, pues, miedo ni te acobardes, porque el Señor tu Dios estará contigo dondequiera que vayas.
Colaboración de las tribus de Transjordania
10 Josué dio a los funcionarios del pueblo la orden siguiente:
11 — Recorran el campamento y ordenen esto al pueblo: “Aprovisiónense convenientemente, porque dentro de tres días cruzarán ese Jordán, para ir a tomar posesión de la tierra que el Señor, su Dios, les da en propiedad”.
12 A los de Rubén, a los de Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés les dijo:
13 — Acuérdense de lo que les mandó Moisés, siervo del Señor. El Señor, su Dios, les ha dado el descanso al entregarles esta tierra. 14 Sus mujeres, sus niños y sus rebaños se quedarán aquí en Transjordania, en el territorio que les ha dado Moisés. Pero ustedes pasarán en orden de batalla al frente de todos sus guerreros y ayudarán a sus hermanos, 15 hasta que el Señor conceda el descanso a sus hermanos igual que se lo ha concedido a ustedes, y también ellos tomen posesión de la tierra que el Señor, su Dios, les va a dar. Entonces ustedes regresarán al territorio de su propiedad, el que les dio Moisés, siervo del Señor, aquí al lado oriental del Jordán.
16 Ellos respondieron a Josué:
— Haremos todo lo que nos has mandado; iremos adondequiera que nos envíes. 17 Del mismo modo que obedecimos en todo a Moisés, te obedeceremos a ti. Que el Señor, tu Dios, esté contigo como estuvo con Moisés. 18 El que se rebele contra ti y no obedezca tus órdenes, cualesquiera que sean, morirá. Tú, sé fuerte y valiente.

Joshua Installed as Leader
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord,(A) the Lord said to Joshua(B) son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River(C) into the land(D) I am about to give to them(E)—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot,(F) as I promised Moses.(G) 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon,(H) and from the great river, the Euphrates(I)—all the Hittite(J) country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.(K) 5 No one will be able to stand against you(L) all the days of your life. As I was with(M) Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake(N) you. 6 Be strong(O) and courageous,(P) because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors(Q) to give them.
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey(R) all the law(S) my servant Moses(T) gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,(U) that you may be successful wherever you go.(V) 8 Keep this Book of the Law(W) always on your lips;(X) meditate(Y) on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.(Z) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;(AA) do not be discouraged,(AB) for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”(AC)
10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:(AD) 11 “Go through the camp(AE) and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions(AF) ready. Three days(AG) from now you will cross the Jordan(AH) here to go in and take possession(AI) of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,(AJ) Joshua said, 13 “Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, ‘The Lord your God will give you rest(AK) by giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives,(AL) your children and your livestock may stay in the land(AM) that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle,(AN) must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites.(AO) You are to help them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”(AP)
16 Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.(AQ) 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you.(AR) Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey(AS) it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!(AT)”
