Joshua 14:7-10

Leeser(i) 7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea’ to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 8 But my brethren who had gone up with me caused the heart of the people to be faint; but I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall belong to thee for an inheritance, and to thy children for ever; because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. 10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he hath spoken: it is now forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word unto Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty and five years old.
