Joshua 1:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 [a]All the land of the Hittites, from the wilderness and the Lebanon east to the great river Euphrates and west to the Great Sea, will be your territory.(A) 5 No one can withstand you as long as you live. As I was with Moses, I will be with you:(B) I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and steadfast, so that you may give this people possession of the land I swore to their ancestors that I would give them.
