Joshua 14:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ The men who went with me, however, made our people afraid. But I faithfully obeyed the Lord my God. ^9 (A)Because I did, Moses promised me that my children and I would certainly receive as our possession the land which I walked over. ¹⁰ But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the Lord said that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the Lord, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years old
