Every place where the sole of your foot treads

on Deuteronomy 11:24-25

Joshua 1:3-4 gives this promise to Joshua almost word for word, and Genesis 15:18 gave Abram the same span. It runs wider than Israel ever held: Joshua 13:1 says much land remained, and 1 Kings 4:21 has Solomon ruling from the river to Egypt's border, the nearest it came. The "fear and dread" of verse 25 were promised at Exodus 23:27, and Rahab reports them at Joshua 2:9.

This site's exposition

No man will be able to

The first clause is said again to Joshua at Joshua 1:5, with the promise that the LORD would be with him as He was with Moses. The fear and dread were first laid on the nations at 2:25, as Israel began to take the land of Sihon. Verse 25 extends them to all the land.

proposed

Nothing contributes more to the making of a nation considerable abroad, valuable to its friends and formidable to its enemies, than religion reigning in it; for who can be against those that have God for them? And he is certainly for those that are sincerely for him, Prov. xiv.
