This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Jos_1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Ver. 6. Be strong and of a good courage.] This is often charged upon Joshua, though he were very valiant, and of the best mettle; because he was sure to be put to it. {a} Stand fast, for ye shall be shaken, said that prophetic Simeon in the ecclesiastical history, to the pillars which he whipped before the earthquake.

{a} “ Acer et ad palmae per se cursurus honores,

Si tamen horteris, fortior ibit equus. ” - Ovid.
