Joshua 14:8-10

New English Translation

⁸ My countrymen^[a] who accompanied^[b] me frightened the people,^[c] but I remained loyal to the Lord my God.^{[d] 9} That day Moses made this solemn promise:^[e] ‘Surely the land on which you walked^[f] will belong to you and your descendants permanently,^[g] for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’ ¹⁰ So now, look, the Lord has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the Lord spoke these words to Moses, while Israel traveled through the wilderness. See here, I am today eighty-five years old!
