The Lord our God said to us(B) at Horeb,(C) “You have stayed long enough(D) at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites;(E) go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah,(F) in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev(G) and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites(H) and to Lebanon,(I) as far as the great river, the Euphrates.(J) See, I have given you this land(K).(L) Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore(M) he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.”

Look, I have laid the land before you. Go and possess the land that I[a] promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as to their descendants after them.
