SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:6
Esfuérzate y sé valiente; porque tú harás heredar a este pueblo la tierra por herencia, de la cual juré a sus padres que la daría a ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Be strong, and of good courage , etc.] The same exhortation Moses gave him, ( Deuteronomy 31:7); and is afterwards repeated in this chapter, as being of great moment and importance, as it is in the general of an army to show greatness and strength of mind, valour and courage, and not be dismayed at the number and strength of the enemy. As Joshua’s work in fighting with the Canaanites, and conquering their land, so Christ’s work in the redemption of his people, and subduing their enemies, required strength and courage, and both were very eminent in him: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them ; and, this promise included and ensured the conquest of it, and the putting the people into the possession of it; for if he was to divide it to them, he must first take it out of the hands of the present inhabitants, and deliver it into the hands of the children of Israel, to be possessed by them, dividing to each tribe and family their part and portion.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-9 - Joshua is to make the law of God his rule. He is charged to meditat therein day and night, that he might understand it. Whatever affairs of this world we have to mind, we must not neglect the one thing needful All his orders to the people, and his judgments, must be according to the law of God. Joshua must himself be under command; no man's dignit or dominion sets him above the law of God. He is to encourage himsel with the promise and presence of God. Let not the sense of thine ow infirmities dishearten thee; God is all-sufficient. I have commanded called, and commissioned thee to do it, and will be sure to bear the out in it. When we are in the way of duty, we have reason to be stron and very bold. Our Lord Jesus, as Joshua here, was borne up under his sufferings by a regard to the will of God, and the commandment from his Father.
