Keluaran 14:14

14:14 The Lord ¹  will fight for you, and you can be still.” ² 

Yosua 1:13

1:13 “Remember what Moses the Lord’s servant commanded you. ³  The Lord your God is giving you a place to settle and is handing this land over to you. ⁴ 

¹ tn The word order places emphasis on “the Lord” (Heb “Yahweh”).

² tn The imperfect tense needs to be interpreted in contrast to all that Yahweh will be doing. It may be given a potential imperfect nuance (as here), or it may be obligatory to follow the command to stand firm: “you must be still.”

³ tn Heb “remember the word which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you.”

sn This command can be found in Deut 3:18-20. In vv. 13-15 Joshua paraphrases the command, as the third person reference to Moses in v. 14 indicates.

⁴ tn Heb “is providing rest for you and is giving to you this land.”

sn “This land” refers to the trans-Jordanian lands allotted to these tribes.
