Joshua 14:7-12
New International Version
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea(A) to explore the land.(B) And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,(C) 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear.(D) I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.(E) 9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance(F) and that of your children(G) forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’[a]
10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised,(H) he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved(I) about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!(J) 11 I am still as strong(K) today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous(L) to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day.(M) You yourself heard then that the Anakites(N) were there and their cities were large and fortified,(O) but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
