Joshua 14:9-12

9And Moses swore on that day, saying, aSurely the land bon which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, cjust as he said, these dforty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day eeighty-five years old. 11 fI am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and gfor going and coming. 12So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the hAnakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.”
