So Moses swore on that day, saying, (D)‘Surely the land (E)where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me (F)alive, (G)as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel [b]wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 (H)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 (I)for going out and for coming in.
