[4]From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Perath: all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. |
| [5]There shal not a man be able to withstande thee all the dayes of thy life: For as I was with Moyses, so wyll I be with thee, and wyll not fayle thee, nor forsake thee |
[5]There shall not a man be able to withstand thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee. |

[6]Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide the land for an inheritance, which I swear unto their fathers to give them. |
| [7]Only be thou strong, and of a stoute courage, that thou maiest obserue and do according to all the law which Moses my seruaunt commaunded thee: Turne from the same neither to the right hande, nor to the lefte, that thou maiest do wisely in al that thou takest in hande |
[7]Only be thou strong, and of a most valiant courage, that thou mayest observe and do according to all the law which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: thou shalt not turn away from it to the right hand, nor to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. |

[9]Have not I commanded thee, saying, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be discouraged? For I the Lord thy God will be with thee, whithersoever thou goest. |
| [10]Then Iosuah commaunded the officers of the people, saying |
[10]Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, |
| [11]Go thorowe the middes of the hoaste, and comaunde the people, saying, Prepare you vitailes: for after three daies ye shal passe ouer this Iordane, to go in and enioye the lande, which the Lorde your God geueth you, to possesse it |
[11]Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals: for after three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it. |
| [12]And vnto the Rubenites, Gadites, and halfe the tribe of Manasses spake Iosuah saying |
[12]And unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh spake Joshua, saying, |

| [16]And they aunswered Iosuah, sayinge: Al that thou hast commaunded vs we will do, and whyther soeuer thou sendest vs, we will go |
[16]Then they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us, we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. |
| [17]According as we obeyed Moyses in al thinges, so will we obey thee: only the Lorde thy God be with thee, as he was with Moyses |
[17]As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. |
