23 He* then commissioned Joshua+ the son of Nun and said: “Be courageous and strong,+ for you are the one who will bring the Israelites into the land about which I have sworn to them,+ and I will continue with you.”
5 No one will be able to take a stand against you as long as you live.+ Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.+ I will neither desert you nor abandon you.+
