Joshua 14:10

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. ⁴  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer ⁵  them, as the Lord promised.”

Joshua 23:14

23:14 “Look, today I am about to die. ⁶  You know with all your heart and being ⁷  that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized – not one promise is unfulfilled! ⁸ 

Joshua 24:7

24:7 Your fathers ⁹  cried out for help to the Lord; he made the area between you and the Egyptians dark, ¹⁰  and then drowned them in the sea. ¹¹  You witnessed with your very own eyes ¹²  what I did in Egypt. You lived in the wilderness for a long time. ¹³ 

Joshua 24:15

24:15 If you have no desire ¹⁴  to worship ¹⁵  the Lord, choose today whom you will worship, ¹⁶  whether it be the gods whom your ancestors ¹⁷  worshiped ¹⁸  beyond the Euphrates, ¹⁹  or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family ²⁰  will worship ²¹  the Lord!”
