Study Note

God's inaugural command to Joshua — 'be strong and courageous' — is repeated three times in Joshua 1 (verses 6, 7, and 9), forming a literary envelope around the divine commission. The basis for courage is twofold: the promise of divine presence ('the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go') and the command to meditate on the Torah day and night. The verse links martial courage directly to covenantal fidelity, suggesting Israel's success depends not on military strategy but on obedience. It has been widely appropriated in Christian contexts as an encouragement for any transition or calling, often separated from its original context of holy war.
