Joshua Takes Charge
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people: “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’” Deu 9:12Ki 20:5Hos 6:2Deu 11:31Jos 3:2Exo 19:11
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, Num 32:20-22 “Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’ Num 32:20-28Deu 3:18-20Jos 22:1-4 Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them, Deu 20:8Exo 13:18Rev 17:4 until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.” Php 2:4Num 32:17-221Co 12:261Co 13:5Gal 5:13Jos 22:4-9Gal 6:2Php 1:21-26
So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go. Tit 3:11Pe 2:13-15Deu 5:27Rom 13:1-5Num 32:25 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

Above all, be strong and courageous!” Eph 6:101Co 16:13Ezr 10:4Jos 1:91Sa 11:12Heb 10:28-29Heb 12:25Deu 17:12
