Context — Moses' Farewell Addressgenerated

37The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
38Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
39And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
40But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea. ”

Deuteronomy 1:38 records Moses' instructions to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. He emphasizes the importance of Joshua, who will lead them, and calls for encouragement from the people. This moment is pivotal as it marks the transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua, setting the stage for the conquest of Canaan.

The Key Word יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, ye.ho.Shu.a'generated

The name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (*Yhowshuwa`*) identifies Joshua, the successor of Moses, whose name means 'Jehovah is salvation.' He is a significant leader in the narrative of the Israelites, first mentioned in Exodus and known for leading them into the Promised Land after Moses.

The parsing as a noun proper masculine indicates that Joshua is a specific individual, not a general term. His role as a leader is emphasized here, as he is described as standing before the people, indicating his readiness and presence in guiding them.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, where the wording emphasizes Joshua's leadership and the call to encourage him.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יָ֣בֹא, he will go, governs the main clause, with several phrases providing context: a noun phrase identifying Joshua, a participial phrase describing his standing, and an imperative phrase encouraging the people. This structure emphasizes the call to action.

The sentence flows by presenting Joshua's identity first, followed by his role and the imperative to encourage him. This order highlights the significance of Joshua's leadership in the transition to the Promised Land.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יְהוֹשֻׁעַ as ἰησοῦς (*Iēsous*), which is a common Greek rendering for Joshua. This choice aligns with the tradition of using the name Jesus in the New Testament, reflecting the continuity of leadership and salvation themes.

The choice of παρεστηκώς for הָעֹמֵ֣ד indicates a focus on Joshua's presence and readiness to lead, reinforcing the importance of his role as a leader.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches 14 of the 15 words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs in two words, using יבוא (come) and אחזיק (be strong) instead of the Masoretic readings. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain one word on the leather, with the rest supplied by an editor, showing some variation but generally aligning with the Masoretic Text.

Joshua

Jehovah is his help, or Jehovah the Saviour. The son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, the successor of Moses as the leader of Israel. He is called Jehoshua in Num. 13:16 (A.V.), and Jesus in Acts 7:45 and Heb. 4:8 (R.V., Joshua).

He was born in Egypt, and was probably of the age of Caleb, with whom he is generally associated. He shared in all the events of the Exodus, and held the place of commander of the host of the Israelites at their great battle against the Amalekites in Rephidim (Ex. 17:8-16). He became Moses’ minister or servant, and accompanied him part of the way when he ascended Mount Sinai to receive the two tables (

(saviour, or whose help is Jehovah). His name appears in the various forms of HOSHEAHOSHEA, OSHEA, JEHOSHUA, JESHUA and JESUS. The son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim. (1 Chronicles 7:27) (B.C. 1530-1420.) He was nearly forty years old when he shared in the hurried triumph of the exodus. He is mentioned first in connection with the fight against Amalek at Rephidim, when he was chosen by Moses to lead the Israelites. (Exodus 17:9) Soon afterward he was one of the twelve chiefs who were sent, (Numbers 13:17) to explore the land of Canaan, and one of the two, ch. (Numbers 14:6) who gave an encouraging report of their journey. Moses, shortly before his death, was directed, (

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

כִּי (ki) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that,' 'for,' or 'when.' It indicates causal relationships and can express conditions like 'if' or 'though.' The word is versatile, appearing in various contexts to convey certainty, exception, or concession. Notably, it can combine with other particles to modify its meaning, such as in the phrase כִּי אם־ (ki im), meaning 'that if.'

The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).
