“Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;”
Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take possession of the land that you are crossing the Jordan to conquer — obedience is presented as the precondition for conquest. Strength to possess the land is not military but covenantal: it flows from fidelity to the law.
