27 “I will send the fear of me ahead of you,+ and I will throw into confusion all the people you encounter, and I will cause all your enemies to flee from you in defeat.*+

7 Moses then called Joshua and said to him before the eyes of all Israel: “Be courageous and strong,+ for you are the one who will bring this people into the land that Jehovah swore to their forefathers to give to them, and you will give it to them as an inheritance.+ 8 Jehovah is the one marching before you, and he will continue with you.+ He will neither desert you nor abandon you. Do not be afraid or be terrified.”+
