2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.
13 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
Ex
11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Ex
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them.”
God Knew What the People Needed So He selected Joshua
16 “You are the Lord God, and you know what is in everyone’s heart. So I ask you to appoint a leader for Israel.
num 27
18 The Lord answered, “Joshua son of Nun can do the job. Place your hands on him to show that he is the one to take your place.
12 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
19 Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.
20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.
23 then he placed his hands on Joshua and appointed him Israel’s leader.

CALLING
The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
—Frederick Buechner
The Walk into Maturity
The Walk into Maturity
3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.
Though the land was God’s gift to Israel, it could be won only by hard fighting. The Lord gave them title to the territory but they had to possess it by marching on every part.
Thirty-eight years earlier Joshua had explored this good and fruitful land as 1 of the 12 spies (; there [] he is called “Hoshea,” a variant spelling of his name). The memory of its beauty and fertility had not dimmed. Now he was to lead the armies of Israel to conquer that territory.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory.
5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.
6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.

Be strong: chazaq (kah-zahk); Strong’s #2388: Be strong, courageous, valiant, manly, strengthened, established, firm, fortified, obstinate, mighty. Generally the words “strong” or “strengthened” define chazaq, but there is a wide range of meaning for this word, which occurs nearly 300 times in the OT; for example, “to encourage,” as when David encouraged himself (literally, “made himself strong”) in the Lord (). Chazaq is the root of several Hebrew names, including “Hezekiah,” meaning “Strengthened by Yahweh.”
