Ben Sira 46:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Valiant warrior was Joshua, son of Nun,aide to Moses in the prophetic office,Formed to be, as his name implies,the great savior of God’s chosen ones,To punish the enemyand to give to Israel their heritage.

2. What glory was his when he raised his hand,to brandish his sword against the city!

3. Who could withstand himwhen he fought the battles of the Lord?
