⁷ Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, ^(A)“Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.

Mercy on Jacob

14 For the Lord ^(A)will have mercy on Jacob, and ^(B)will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. ^(C)The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob.

¹⁷ Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” ’

²² and ^(A)I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(B)one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
