Joshua 14:7-9

The Voice

⁷ I was 40 years old when Moses, the Eternal’s servant, sent me out from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land of Canaan. I brought back an honest report. ⁸ The others who were sent as spies only discouraged the people and melted their hearts, but I obeyed the Eternal One, my God, completely. ⁹ At that time, Moses swore an oath to me: “Someday the land on which you have walked will be given to you and your children as an inheritance forever because you have been completely faithful to the Eternal One, my God.”^[a]
