The time had come for Moses to step aside as leader of the Israelites and commission his servant Joshua to be his successor. God had been preparing Joshua for this responsibility for many years yet it was a daunting task to be called to fulfil. Moses encouraged Joshua that God would go before His people and help them conquer the land and destroy the godless nations in Canaan.
In v8 The Lord reminds Joshua who is in CONTROL: ‘It is the Lord who goes before you’.
