Nine: Joshua is going to be a good leader. Joshua should be wise, trust the lord, be strong, take possession of the lands, brave, and not frightened of any who attack them.
Twelve: God tells Joshua to be brave, strong, wise, and a good leader to the people. Joshua tells the people to get ready to march. He asks the 2 1/2 tribes with land already to keep their promise and cross the Jordan with them.
Forty-seven: This must have been both an exciting and frightening moment. After their whole lives spent wandering in the desert waste-land to enter a new, fertile land of their own. How often do great opportunities come bound up with great perils? How often do we face those perils in God's hands and not our own?
