“And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.”
And the LORD said to Joshua, 'This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that, as I was with Moses, I am with you' — God's promise to exalt Joshua repeats the assurance of his leadership and frames the Jordan crossing as the demonstration of Joshua's divine commission. The comparison 'as I was with Moses, I am with you' establishes continuity of divine presence across the leadership transition.
