Now Joshua was the leader. God talked to him: “Moses is gone. It's time to go into the land!”
God said, “I will be with you just like I was with Moses. I will never leave you.”
“Be strong and brave! Don't be afraid, because I am with you wherever you go.” Joshua told the people, “Get ready! In three days we cross the river!”
