Answered in 2 sources
Joshua was appointed by God to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land after Moses' death.
In Joshua 1, God commissions Joshua as the leader of the Israelites after Moses' death. He is instructed to be strong and courageous as he takes on the monumental task of leading God's people into Canaan, the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God's promise to Joshua includes assurance of His presence, stating, 'I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.' This reinforces the notion that spiritual leadership requires unwavering faith and reliance on God's word, as Joshua's courage was grounded in the assurance of divine support.
