Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Joshua 1
¹³ "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ’The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’
¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,
¹⁵ until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise."
¹⁶ So they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
¹⁷ Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
¹⁸ Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
Joshua 2
¹ Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.
² And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country."
³ So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country."
⁴ Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
⁵ And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them."
