25 ‘Let me, I pray, cross over and see the afair land that is beyond the Jordan, 1that good hill country and Lebanon.’

28 ‘aBut charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, bfor he shall go across 1at the head of this people, and he will give them as an inheritance the land which you will see.’
