Joshua 14:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷I was 40 years old when Moses sent me from there to explore the land of Canaan. I brought back to him a true report. I was sure that we could take the land. ⁸The other men who went with me made the people afraid. But I continued to trust the Lord my God. ⁹So Moses made a promise to me on that day. He said, “The land that your feet have walked on will always belong to you and to your children. That is because you have trusted the Lord your God.”^[a]
