<\/p>\n
The Lord God of Israel,
\nSpoke to Joshua, and He said,
\nArise, cross over Jordan,
\nSince Moses, my servant, is dead.<\/p>\n
I’ve given to you every place,
\nYour foot shall tread upon,
\nFrom the wilderness, the Euphrates river,
\nEven to Lebanon.<\/p>\n
All throughout your life,
\nNo man shall stand to thee,
\nAs I was with Moses,
\nWith you I will also be.<\/p>\n
For an inheritance to this people,
\nThe land thou shalt divide.
\nSo that when you have taken it,
\nYou may therein abide.<\/p>\n
But be strong and of a good courage,
\nBe not afraid, neither dismay.
\nFor the Lord God is with thee,
\nAnd will be near thee all the way.<\/p>\n
In this book of the Law,
\nThou shalt meditate night and day,
\nAnd if thou obey the commands therein,
\nThou will have a prosperous way.<\/p>\n
Then Joshua told the officers,
\nOf the people to command,
\n“Prepare yourselves to enter,
\nInto the Promised Land.”<\/p>\n
And the mighty men of valour,
\nFrom Ruben, Manasseh, and Gad,
\nWould fight along side their brethren,
\nUntil victory they had.<\/p>\n
And they answered Joshua, saying,
\n“What thou sayest, we will do.
\nAs we hearkened unto Moses,
\nWe will hearken unto you.”<\/p>\n
“He who rebels against thy word,
\nWhoever he may be.
\nThat man shall be put to death,
\nTo this we will see.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
