Joshua 14:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ The other men who went with me ·frightened the people [^Lmade the heart of the people melt; Num. 13:27–29; 14:1–4], but I ·fully believed the Lord would allow us to take the land [or remained loyal to the Lord; ^Lfollowed the Lord]. ⁹ So that day Moses ·promised [swore to; made an oath to] me, ‘The land where ·you went [^Lyour foot has trodden] will become your ·land [inheritance], and your children will own it forever. I will give you that land because you ·fully believed in [or remained loyal to; ^Lfollowed] the Lord, my God.’

¹⁰ “Now then, [^Llook; ^Tbehold] the Lord has kept his promise. He has kept me alive for forty-five years from the time he said this to Moses during the time ·we all [^LIsrael] wandered in the ·desert [wilderness]. Now ·here [^Llook; ^Tbehold] I am, eighty-five years old.
