Midrasch zu Jehoschua 4:14
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא גִּדַּ֤ל יְהוָה֙ אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ בְּעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּֽרְא֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יָרְא֥וּ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֖ה כָּל־יְמֵ֥י חַיָּֽיו׃ (פ)
An jenem Tage machte der Herr den Josua groß in den Augen von ganz Israel, und sie fürchteten ihn, wie sie gefürchtet den Mose alle Tage seines Lebens.
Sifrei Devarim
"and they did as the L-rd had commanded Moses": But He had not yet placed his fear upon them, it being written (Joshua 4:14) "On that day the L-rd exalted Joshua" — On that day He placed his fear upon them.
