46 Yeshua (Jesus) the son of Nun was valiant in war,

and was the successor of Mosheh (Moses) in prophecies.

He was made great according to his name

for the saving of[fn] God’s elect,

to take vengeance on the enemies that rose up against them,

that he might give Yisrael (Israel) their inheritance.

2 How was he glorified in the lifting up his hands,

and in stretching out his sword against the cities!

3 Who before him stood so firm?

Because the master himself brought his enemies to him.

4 Didn’t the sun go back by his hand?

Didn’t one day become as two?

5 He called upon the Most High, the Mighty One,

when his foes pressed in all around him,

and the great master heard him.

6 With hailstones of mighty power,

he caused war to break violently upon the nation,

and[fn] on the slope he destroyed those who resisted,

so that the nations might know his armour,

how he fought in the sight of the master;

for he followed the Mighty One.

7 Also in the time of Mosheh (Moses), he did a work of mercy—

he and Kalev (Caleb) the son of Yefuneh—

in that they withstood the adversary,

hindered the people from sin,

and stilled their wicked complaining.

8 And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two alone were preserved

to bring them into their inheritance,

into a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 The master gave strength to Kalev,

and it remained with him to his old age,

so that he entered the hill country,

and his offspring obtained it for an inheritance,

10 that all the children of Yisrael (Israel) might see that it is good to follow the master.
