Exegesis
The phrase kidvar YHWH {כִּדְבַר יְהוָה | ki-ḏə-vār yə-hō-wāh} introduces a divine decree, and the relative clause asher dibber beyad yehoshua {אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד יְהוֹשֻׁעַ | ’ă-šer dib-ber bə-yaḏ yə-hō-šu-‘ā} attributes prophetic agency to Joshua. English word order is adjusted for readability while preserving theological nuance.
