Joshua 14:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 The other spies said things that made our people afraid, but I completely trusted the Lord God. 9 (A) The same day I came back, Moses told me, “Since you were faithful to the Lord God, I promise that the places where you went as a spy will belong to you and your descendants forever.”

Joshua 14:8-10
English Standard Version
8 But (A)my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, (B)‘Surely the land (C)on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, (D)just as he said, these (E)forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day (F)eighty-five years old.
