Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 1 of Joshua. After receiving the divine commission, Joshua turns the promise into concrete instructions for the people. The officers must prepare provisions and announce the crossing of the Jordan, while the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh remember their commitment to help their brothers. Israel’s unity is thus connected to the conquest: although some tribes already possess territory east of the Jordan, they participate in the collective responsibility of receiving the promised inheritance.

Wer deinem Mund ungehorsam ist und nicht gehorcht deinen Worten in allem, was du uns gebietest, der soll sterben. Sei nur getrost und unverzagt!
Cualquiera que fuere rebelde a tu mandamiento, y no obedeciere a tus palabras en todas las cosas que le mandares, que muera; solamente que te esfuerces, y seas valiente.
Cualquiera que se rebele contra tu orden y no escuche tus palabras en todo lo que le mandes será ejecutado. Solamente sé fuerte y valiente».
Tout homme qui sera rebelle à ton ordre, et qui n'obéira pas à tout ce que tu lui commanderas, sera puni de mort. Fortifie-toi seulement, et prends courage!
Chiunque sarà ribello a’ tuoi comandamenti, e non ubbidirà alle tue parole, in qualunque cosa tu gli comanderai, sarà fatto morire; sii pur valente, e fortificati
Todo o homem, que for rebelde às tuas ordens, e não ouvir as tuas palavras em tudo quanto lhe mandares, morrerá. Tão-somente esforça-te, e tem bom ânimo.
無論甚麼人違背你的命令,不聽從你所吩咐他的一切話,就必處死。你只要剛強壯膽!」
