God’s Commission to Joshua

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’s assistant, saying, “My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.(A) Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.(B) From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory.(C) No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.(D) Be strong and courageous, for you shall lead this people to possess the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go.(E) This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.(F) I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(G)

Preparations for the Invasion

10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, 11 “Pass through the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for in three days you are to cross over this Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess.’ ”(H)

12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said,(I) 13 “Remember the word that 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.’(J) 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan. But all the warriors among you shall cross over armed before your kindred and shall help them, 15 until the Lord gives rest to your kindred as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”(K)

16 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 be with you, as he was with Moses!(L) 18 Whoever rebels against your orders and disobeys your words, whatever you command, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

가나안을 정복하라는 명령

여호와의 종 모세가 죽은 다음에 여호와께서 모세의 후계자 눈의 아들 여호수아 에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다.

“나의 종 모세는 죽었다. 이제 너는 모든 이스라엘 백성을 이끌고 요단강을 건너 내가 그들에게 주는 약속의 땅으로 들어가거라.

내가 모세에게 말한 대로 너희 발이 닿는 곳마다 그 땅을 다 너희에게 주겠다.

그 땅의 경계는 남쪽 네겝 광야에서부터 북쪽 레바논 산악 지대에 이르고, 동쪽 유프라테스강에서부터 헷족의 땅을 거쳐 서쪽 지중해 연안까지 이를 것이다.

네가 살아 있는 한 아무도 너를 당해 내지 못할 것이다. 내가 모세와 함께하였던 것처럼 너와도 항상 함께하여 너를 떠나지 않고 너를 버리지 않겠다.

“마음을 굳게 먹고 용기를 가져라. 너는 이 백성을 인도하여 내가 너희 조상들에게 주겠다고 약속한 땅을 얻게 할 지도자이다.

너는 굳세어라. 용기를 내어라. 나의 종 모세가 너에게 준 모든 율법을 하나도 소홀히 하지 말고 정성껏 지켜라. 그러면 네가 어디로 가든지 성공할 것이다.

이 율법책을 항상 읽고 밤낮으로 묵상하며 그 가운데 기록된 것을 하나도 빠짐없이 지켜라. 그래야 네가 잘 되고 성공할 것이다.

내가 너에게 마음을 굳게 먹고 용기를 가지라고 하지 않았느냐! 너는 조금도 두려워하거나 무서워하지 말아라. 네가 어디로 가든지 너의 하나님 나 여호와가 너와 함께하겠다.”

요단강을 건너가라는 여호수아의 지시

10-11 그 후에 여호수아는 이스라엘의 지도 자들에게 진영을 돌아보고 백성들에게 이렇게 말하라고 지시하였다. “다들 양식을 준비하시오. 3일만 있으면 여러분은 요단강을 건너 여호와 하나님이 여러분에게 주기로 약속하신 바로 그 땅에 들어갈 것입니다.”

12 또 여호수아는 르우벤 지파와 갓 지파와 므낫세 지파 절반에게 이렇게 말하였다.

13 “여러분은 여호와의 종 모세가 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서 요단강 동쪽의 이 땅을 여러분에게 정착지로 주실 것이라고 한 말을 기억하십시오.

14 여러분의 처자와 가축은 이 곳에 머물러 있고 군인들은 완전 무장하여 다른 지파의 선두에 서서 요단강을 건너가십시오. 여러분은 여러분의 형제들을 도와야 합니다.

15 그들이 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서 주신 요단강 서쪽에 있는 그 땅을 완전히 정복할 때까지 그들과 합세하여 싸우십시오. 그들이 그 땅을 완전히 정복하면 여러분은 돌아와서 여호와의 종 모세가 여러분에게 준 요단강 동쪽 이 땅에서 정착하십시오.”

16 그러자 그들이 여호수아에게 대답하였다. “당신이 우리에게 명령한 것이 무엇이든지 우리가 그대로 실행하며 당신이 우리를 어디로 보내든지 우리가 가겠습니다.

17 우리가 언제나 모세의 말을 순종했던 것처럼 당신의 말도 순종하겠습니다. 우리는 모세와 함께 계셨던 여호와 하나님이 당신과도 함께 계시기를 원합니다.

18 누구든지 당신의 명령을 거역하고 당신의 말에 불순종하는 자는 죽음을 당해야 합니다. 아무쪼록 마음을 굳게 먹고 용기를 가지십시오.”

God’s Commission to Joshua

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ (A)assistant, saying: (B)“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. (C)Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. (D)From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. (E)No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; (F)as I was with Moses, so (G)I will be with you. (H)I will not leave you nor forsake you. (I)Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall [a]divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law (J)which Moses My servant commanded you; (K)do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may [b]prosper wherever you go. (L)This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but (M)you[c] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe 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. (N)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; (O)do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

The Order to Cross the Jordan

10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for (P)within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’ ”

12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying, 13 “Remember (Q)the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall [d]pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them, 15 until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. (R)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

16 So they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God (S)be with you, as He was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage.”
