Joshua 14:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to scout the land, and I brought back to him my heartfelt advice. ⁸ When my brother Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt, I nevertheless fully followed the Lord my God. ⁹ So Moses swore an oath to me on that day. He said, “Most certainly the land on which your foot has walked shall be an inheritance for you and for your children forever, because you fully followed the Lord my God.”
