Joshua 1:15-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ conquer the land that the Lord is giving them. The Lord will give peace to them as he has given peace to you, and then you can come back and settle here in the land that Moses promised you.

¹⁶ The men answered:

We'll cross the Jordan River and help our relatives. We'll fight anywhere you send us. ^17-18 If the Lord our God will help you as he helped Moses, and if you are strong and brave, we will obey you as we obeyed Moses. We'll even put to death anyone who rebels against you or refuses to obey you.
