¹⁸ Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

⁷ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord ^(A)sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. ⁸ Nevertheless ^(B)my brethren who went up with me made the ^[a]heart of the people melt, but I wholly ^(C)followed the Lord my God. ⁹ 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.

²³ So Joshua took the whole land, ^(A)according to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel ^(B)according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land ^(C)rested from war.
