`And ye pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho, and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho--the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--and I give them into your hand.
Joshua 24:9 `And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, riseth and fighteth against Israel, and sendeth and calleth for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,

Joshua 24:11 `And ye pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho, and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho--the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--and I give them into your hand.
Joshua 24:12 And I send before you the hornet, and it casteth them out from your presence--two kings of the Amorite--not by thy sword, nor by thy bow.
Joshua 24:13 `And I give to you a land for which thou hast not laboured, and cities which ye have not built, and ye dwell in them; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye have not planted ye are eating.
The verse centers on "pass", "over", "jordan", "come", "jericho", "fight", "against", and "possessors". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "pass" and "over", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 10's "and I have not been willing to..." into verse 12's "And I send before you the hornet...", so "pass" and "over" belong inside that flow. In Joshua context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "pass" and "over" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
