38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

28 But ^fcharge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for ^ghe shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’

7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, ^jfor you shall go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall put them in possession of it. 8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be ^kwith you; he will not leave you or forsake you. ^lDo not fear or be dismayed.”

23 And the Lord¹ commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, ^yfor you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. I will be ^zwith you.”
