9 At this Moses said to Joshua:*+ “Choose men for us and go out,+ fight against the A·malʹek·ites. Tomorrow I am stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the rod of the [true] God in my hand.”+

13 So Moses and Joshua* his minister* got up and Moses went up into the mountain of the [true] God.+

11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face,+ just as a man would speak to his fellow. When he returned to the camp, his minister+ Joshua, the son of Nun,+ as attendant,* would not withdraw from the midst of the tent.

18 So Jehovah said to Moses: “Take for yourself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom there is spirit,+ and you must lay your hand upon him;+

3 Jehovah* your God is the one crossing before you.+ He himself will annihilate these nations from before you, and you must drive them away.+ Joshua* is the one crossing before you,+ just as Jehovah has spoken.
