When Joshua was entrusted with the responsibility of leading Israel, he was told: “This book of the law [which had been recorded by Moses] should not depart from your mouth, and you must in an undertone read in it day and night, in order that you may take care to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful and then you will act wisely. ”
Kad Jozuam bija uzticēts pienākums būt izraēliešu vadonim, viņš saņēma norādījumu: ” Lai tava mute nepamet šo bauslības grāmatu [ko sarakstījis Mozus], bet apdomā dienām un naktīm, ka tu vari turēt un darīt visu tā, kā tas tur ir uzrakstīts; tad tavi ceļi tev labi izdosies, un tev viss laimēsies. ” Dievs nesolīja, ka Jozuam brīnumainā kārtā tiks dota gudrība.
