11 (A)I am still as strong today as I was on the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for (B)going out and coming in. 12 Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that (C)Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I will [a]drive them out just as the Lord has spoken.”

(F)Then the land was at rest from war.
