The Hebrew word for "rest" is "נ֫וּחַ" (nuach), which implies a cessation from labor and a state of peace and security. In the context of Joshua, this rest is both physical, as in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land, and spiritual, as it foreshadows the ultimate rest found in Christ. Historically, this rest was a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, promising his descendants a land of their own. Spiritually, it points to the rest believers find in Jesus, as described in <a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>, where the ultimate rest is found in faith and trust in God's completed work.as He has given you This phrase emphasizes the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises. The past tense "has given" indicates that God’s promises are as good as fulfilled, even if the physical manifestation is yet to be seen. This reflects the Hebrew understanding of God's promises as certain and reliable. Theologically, it underscores the concept of divine grace, where God’s gifts are not earned but given freely. Historically, it reminds the Israelites of their recent victories east of the Jordan, reinforcing their trust in God's continued provision.and they too will possess the land The word "possess" comes from the Hebrew "יָרַשׁ" (yarash), meaning to inherit or take possession. This is not merely about occupying land but involves a deeper, covenantal relationship with God, where the land is a divine inheritance. Theologically, it signifies the believer's inheritance in Christ, as Paul writes in <a href="/ephesians/1-11.htm">Ephesians 1:11</a> about obtaining an inheritance through Him. Historically, this possession was a tangible sign of God's promise to the patriarchs being fulfilled, a testament to His faithfulness across generations.that the LORD your God is giving them This phrase highlights the active role of God in the process of giving. The present participle "is giving" suggests an ongoing action, indicating that God’s provision is continuous and dynamic. Theologically, it reflects the doctrine of providence, where God is actively involved in the world, guiding and sustaining His people. Historically, it reassures the Israelites that their success in possessing the land is not by their might but by God’s sovereign will and power.Then you may return The word "return" in Hebrew is "שׁוּב" (shuv), which means to turn back or restore. This implies a restoration to a previous state or place, in this case, the land east of the Jordan. Theologically, it can be seen as a metaphor for repentance, where one turns back to God. Historically, it speaks to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, who were to return to their allotted lands after helping their brethren secure the Promised Land west of the Jordan.and occupy your own land The term "occupy" is related to the Hebrew "יָשַׁב" (yashab), meaning to dwell or settle. This is more than just living in a place; it implies establishing a home and community. Theologically, it speaks to the believer's call to dwell in the presence of God, finding their home in Him. Historically, it refers to the fulfillment of the promise to the tribes who had chosen their inheritance east of the Jordan, emphasizing the importance of community and shared responsibility in God’s plan.which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you This phrase acknowledges Moses' role as a faithful servant and leader. The title "servant of the LORD" is a mark of honor, indicating Moses' unique relationship with God. Theologically, it points to the concept of servant leadership, where true leaders serve God and His people. Historically, it reminds the Israelites of the continuity of God’s promises from Moses to Joshua, reinforcing the legitimacy of Joshua’s leadership and the divine mandate behind their mission. <a href="/commentaries/joshua/1-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>until עַ֠ד (‘aḏ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while the LORD יְהוָ֥ה ׀ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel gives [them] rest יָנִ֨יחַ (yā·nî·aḥ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5117.htm">Strong's 5117: </a> To rest, settle down as He has done for you כָּכֶם֒ (kā·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> and [your brothers] הֵ֔מָּה (hêm·māh) Pronoun - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1992.htm">Strong's 1992: </a> They also גַם־ (ḡam-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and possess וְיָרְשׁ֣וּ (wə·yā·rə·šū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3423.htm">Strong's 3423: </a> To occupy, to seize, to rob, to inherit, to expel, to impoverish, to ruin the land הָאָ֕רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land the LORD יְהוָ֥ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel your God אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֖ם (’ĕ·lō·hê·ḵem) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative is giving them. נֹתֵ֣ן (nō·ṯên) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set Then you may return וְשַׁבְתֶּ֞ם (wə·šaḇ·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7725.htm">Strong's 7725: </a> To turn back, in, to retreat, again to the land לְאֶ֤רֶץ (lə·’e·reṣ) Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land of your inheritance יְרֻשַּׁתְכֶם֙ (yə·ruš·šaṯ·ḵem) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3425.htm">Strong's 3425: </a> Something occupied, a conquest, a patrimony and take possession of וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם (wî·riš·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3423.htm">Strong's 3423: </a> To occupy, to seize, to rob, to inherit, to expel, to impoverish, to ruin that which אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that Moses מֹשֶׁה֙ (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver the servant עֶ֣בֶד (‘e·ḇeḏ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5650.htm">Strong's 5650: </a> Slave, servant of the LORD יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel gave נָתַ֣ן (nā·ṯan) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set you on the east מִזְרַ֥ח (miz·raḥ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4217.htm">Strong's 4217: </a> Place of sunrise, the east side בְּעֵ֥בֶר (bə·‘ê·ḇer) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5676.htm">Strong's 5676: </a> A region across, on the opposite side of the Jordan.? הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן (hay·yar·dên) Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3383.htm">Strong's 3383: </a> Jordan -- the principal river of Palestine <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/1-15.htm">Joshua 1:15 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/1-15.htm">OT History: Joshua 1:15 Until Yahweh has given your brothers rest (Josh.
