Sirach 46:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Joshua and Caleb
46 Joshua son of Nun was mighty in war
and was the successor of Moses in the prophetic office.
He became, as his name implies,
a great savior of God’s[a] elect,
to take vengeance on the enemies who rose against them,
so that he might give Israel its inheritance.(A)
2 How glorious he was when he lifted his hands
and brandished his sword against the cities!(B)
3 Who before him ever stood so firm?
For he waged the wars of the Lord.
