8 See, I do put the land before YOU people. Go in and take possession of the land about which Jehovah swore to YOUR fathers, to Abraham, Isaac+ and Jacob,+ to give it to them and their seed* after them.’+

6 BE courageous and strong.+ Do not be afraid or suffer a shock before them,+ because Jehovah your God is the one marching with you. He will neither desert you nor leave you entirely.”+
