He called to him Joshua the son of Nun, a man approved of the Lord, that he might be the minister of the people and of the tabernacle of the testimony with all its holy things, and that he might bring the people into the land given to their fathers, that it should be given to them according to the covenant and the oath, which He spake in the tabernacle to give it by Joshua: saying to Joshua these words: "Be strong and of a good courage according to thy might so as to do what has been commanded that thou mayst be blameless unto God."
