Joshua 14:8-9

14:8 My countrymen ¹  who accompanied ²  me frightened the people, ³  but I remained loyal to the Lord my God. ⁴  14:9 That day Moses made this solemn promise: ⁵  ‘Surely the land on which you walked ⁶  will belong to you and your descendants permanently, ⁷  for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’

¹ tn Heb “brothers.”

² tn Heb “went up with.”

³ tn Heb “made the heart[s] of the people melt.”

⁴ tn Heb “I filled up after the Lord my God,” an idiomatic statement meaning that Caleb remained loyal to the Lord.

⁷ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”
