Joshua 1:6New Revised Standard Version Catholic InterconfessionalBe strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. See the chapter |
For the Israelites traveled forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the warriors who came out of Egypt, perished, not having listened to the voice of the Lord. To them the Lord swore that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
