Joshua 14:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ “Look how^[a] the Lord has let me survive, as you can see, these 45 years since the time when the Lord said this through Moses, while Israel was wandering through the wilderness. And look! I’m here today—my eighty-fifth birthday! ¹¹ I’m still as strong today as I was the day Moses commissioned me. I’m as strong today as I was then, and I can go out to battle and come back successful. ¹² Now then, give me that hill country about which the Lord spoke back on that day, because you yourself heard back then that the Anakim^[b] were there, with great reinforced cities. Perhaps the Lord will be with me and I will expel them, just as the Lord said.”
