Ben Sira 46:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Because of this, these two alone were spared
from the six hundred thousand infantry,
To lead the people into their heritage,
the land flowing with milk and honey.(A)
9 The strength God gave to Caleb
remained with him even in old age
Till he won his way onto the summits of the land;
his family too received a heritage,(B)
10 That all the offspring of Jacob might know
how good it is to be a devoted follower of the Lord.
