Joshua 14:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ I was forty years old when Moshe the servant of Adonai sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to reconnoiter the land, and I brought back to him an honest report. ⁸ My brothers who went up with me discouraged the people, but I followed Adonai my God completely. ⁹ On that day Moshe swore, ‘Surely the land where your foot has been will be the inheritance for you and your descendants forever, because you have followed Adonai my God completely.’
