Exegesis
The comparative clause introduced by kaasher {כַּאֲשֶׁר | ka-ʾa-šer} ‘as when’ shifts to the past reference of Moses sending Joshua. A chiastic pattern in kekhochi az… ukekhochi atah reinforces the equivalence of past and present strength.
In context — Joshua 14:11
Even today I am as strong as I was on the day Moses sent me; my strength then is my strength now, for battle and for going out and coming in.
