Joshua 14:10–12

10 “As you see, the Lord has kept me alive these forty-five years as he promised,f since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel was journeying in the wilderness. Here I am today, eighty-five years old. 11 I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. My strength for battle and for daily tasksA is now as it was then.g 12 Now give me this hill country the Lord promised me on that day, because you heard then that the Anakim are there,h as well as large fortified cities.i Perhaps the Lord will be with me and I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”
