“Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.”
Remember the word that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land' — Joshua appeals to the memory of Moses' prior promise, grounding the immediate command in the larger narrative arc of exodus and covenant. The word 'rest' carries theological weight as the fulfillment of security and dwelling in the land without enemies.
