22.12. Joos 1:6-9

Joosua 1:6.Ole luja ja aivan rohkea, sillä sinä jaat tälle kansalle perinnöksi sen maan, jonka minä heidän isilleen vannomallani valalla olen luvannut antaa heille.  5. Moos. 31:23

7.Ole vain luja ja aivan rohkea ja noudata kaikessa toiminnassasi tarkoin sitä opetusta, jonka palvelijani Mooses on sinulle antanut. Älä poikkea siitä oikealle äläkä vasemmalle,

jotta menestyisit, missä ikinä kuljetkin.  5. Moos. 5:32,17:11,20,28:14; Joos. 23:6

8.Älköön tämä lain kirja väistykö sinun suustasi, vaan mietiskele sitä päivin ja öin, että noudattaisit tarkasti kaikkea, mitä siihen on kirjoitettu, sillä silloin sinä onnistut ja menestyt tielläsi.  5. Moos. 17:19; Ps. 1:2

9.Enkö minä olekin käskenyt sinua: Ole luja ja rohkea! Älä säiky äläkä kauhistu, sillä Herra, sinun Jumalasi, on sinun kanssasi, missä ikinä kuljetkin.”

Joshua 1:6-9Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁶ Be strong and confident and courageous, for you will give this people as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers (ancestors) to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do [everything] in accordance with the entire law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper and be successful wherever you go. ⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be ^[a]successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Footnotes: Joshua 1:8 God’s formula leading to Joshua’s success is clearly outlined in vv 5-9.

Joshua 1:6-9Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 6 Be strong (confident) and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good [a]success. 9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Footnotes: Joshua 1:8 This is the only place in the early English versions where the word “success” is found. The secret of success is given in verses 5 through 9. Joshua accepted Moses’ place of leadership without misgivings. God’s will for him was his will, and he did not hesitate. To go “all out” for God was already habitual with him; it is the unfailing prerequisite of eternal success (Deut. 6:3-5; Ps. 1:1-3; Luke 10:25-28). Joshua 1:6-9New International Version (NIV) 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
