Joshua 1:5-9
_ _ There shall not any man be able to stand before thee — Canaan was theirs by a divine grant; and the renewed confirmation of that grant to Joshua when about to lead the people into it, intimated not only a certain but an easy conquest.

Joshua 1:7
Commanded thee — Remember, that though thou art the commander of my people, yet thou art my subject, and obliged to observe all my commands.

Whithersoever thou goest — That is, whatsoever thou doest. Mens actions are often compared to ways, or steps by which they come to the end they aim at. |
