And after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, it came to pass that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying:

As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, thus Moses had commanded Joshua, and thus Joshua did. He did not turn aside from anything of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses.

And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage, for you shall go with this people into the land which Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.

Therefore, take heed to do as Jehovah your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Whatever I am commanding you, take heed to do it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Do not turn to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice;

Therefore keep the Words of this covenant, and do them, that you may be wise in all that you do.

And keep the charge of Jehovah your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;

Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments which Jehovah has commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may take heed to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
