Joshua 14:12
14:12 Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. 10 But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer 11 them, as the Lord promised.”
Joshua 22:27
22:27 but as a reminder to us and you, 12 and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the Lord in his very presence 13 with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. 14 Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, ‘You have no right to worship the Lord.’ 15
