Joshua 1:16–18, “And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.”
Joshua was appointed as leader. The people had just finished listening to Moses and remaking their contract with the Lord. Now they were motivated and promised to follow Joshua and do whatever he commanded them because the knew that Joshua had been chosen and ordained by the Lord. They also encouraged Joshua to be strong and courageous.
