Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Study Note
God's commissioning charge to Joshua emphasizes Torah observance over military strategy: the path to prosperity and success (taskil) runs through meditating on the law of Moses rather than through military planning, inverting conventional ancient Near Eastern concepts of what makes a successful commander. The spatial metaphor 'turn not from it to the right hand or to the left' (lo tasur yamin usmol) is a wisdom-path image used in Proverbs (4:27; 3:6) and Deuteronomy (5:32; 28:14), connecting the military context to the sapient tradition of the straight path. The verse encapsulates the deuteronomistic theology of the Former Prophets: Israel's national success is a function of covenantal fidelity rather than of geopolitical skill or military advantage. Christian traditions of spiritual courage have frequently cited this verse alongside Philippians 4:13.
