יהושע, פרק י׳, פסוק כ״ה

In the heat of conflict, a leader must build confidence and strength within his ranks. Joshua turns directly to his men, looking to lift their spirits with a powerful message of courage. He speaks to them face-to-face, ensuring his encouragement reaches them on a personal level.

He commands his soldiers to let go of their fear, specifically urging them not to allow themselves to be broken by the challenges ahead. This call to bravery is designed to strengthen their inner resolve. Joshua grounds this encouragement in a clear promise, assuring his men that the defeat they are witnessing is exactly what God will bring upon all the enemies they fight [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
