Deuteronomy 31:7

And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

Ver. 7. For thou must go with this people.] As a worthy guide, to lead them to their rest temporal; so doth Christ all his to their rest eternal.
