Joshua 14:8-9

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

Acts 11:23

11:23 When ⁹  he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true ¹⁰  to the Lord with devoted hearts, ¹¹ 

¹ tn Heb “and their heart was not firm with him.”

² tn Heb “brothers.”

³ tn Heb “went up with.”

⁴ tn Heb “made the heart[s] of the people melt.”

⁵ tn Heb “I filled up after the Lord my God,” an idiomatic statement meaning that Caleb remained loyal to the Lord.

⁶ tn Heb “swore an oath.”

⁷ tn Heb “on which your foot has walked.”

⁸ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

⁹ tn Grk “Antioch, who when.” The relative pronoun was omitted and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

¹⁰ tn BDAG 883 s.v. προσμένω 1.a.β has “remain true to the Lord” for προσμένειν (prosmenein) in this verse.

¹¹ tn Grk “with purpose of heart”; BDAG 869 s.v. πρόθεσις 2.a translates this phrase “purpose of heart, i.e. devotion” here.
