Deuteronomy 31:3

Context
31:3 As for the Lord your God, he is about to cross over before you; he will destroy these nations before you and dispossess them. As for Joshua, he is about to cross before you just as the Lord has said.

Deuteronomy 31:7

Context
31:7 Then Moses called out to Joshua 1  in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the Lord promised to give their ancestors, 2  and you will enable them to inherit it.

Deuteronomy 31:23

Context
31:23 and the Lord 3  commissioned Joshua son of Nun, “Be strong and courageous, for you will take the Israelites to the land I have promised them, and I will be with you.” 4 

1 tn The Hebrew text includes “and said to him.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 20).

3 tn Heb “he.” Since the pronoun could be taken to refer to Moses, the referent has been specified as “the Lord” in the translation for clarity. See also the note on the word “you” later in this verse.

4 tc The LXX reads, “as the Lord promised them, and he will be with you.” This relieves the problem of Moses apparently promising to be with Joshua as the MT reads on the surface (“I will be with you”). However, the reading of the LXX is clearly an attempt to clarify an existing obscurity and therefore is unlikely to reflect the original.
