10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me (A)alive, (B)as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel [a]wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 (C)As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both (D)for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how (E)the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. (F)It may be that the Lord will be with me, and (G)I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”

10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised,(A) he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved(B) about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!(C) 11 I am still as strong(D) today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous(E) to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day.(F) You yourself heard then that the Anakites(G) were there and their cities were large and fortified,(H) but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
