Joshua 1:6New International VersionBe strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. See the chapter |
The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
