Joshua 14:10-12

“So here I am. It’s been forty-five years since YAHWEH made this promise to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness. YAHWEH has preserved me, an eighty-five-year-old man, to this day. I’m still as strong today as on that day when Moses sent me out! I’m just as fit to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me the hill country that YAHWEH promised me on that day. You yourself were there and heard the report that the Anakim lived there in strong and fortified cities. I know that with the power of YAHWEH helping me, I will drive them out, just as YAHWEH said!”
