Deuteronomy 1:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Break camp, and head up into the Amorite highlands, into the territories of all their neighbors—into the arid valley,^[a] the hills, the lowlands, the southern desert,^[b] and the Mediterranean seacoast. Go into the land of the Canaanites, as far north as Lebanon and all the way east to the great Euphrates River. ⁸ Look! I’ve brought you right to the edge of the land that I, the Eternal, swore I’d give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them. Go in, and take possession of it!”
