Joshua 14:10 BBE

⁸  My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

⁹  And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

¹⁰  And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.

¹¹  And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

¹²  So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.
