43 So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

Og Herren gav Israel alt det Land, som han havde svoret at give deres Fædre, og de toge det i Eje og boede derudi.

44 And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.

Og Herren gav dem Rolighed trindt omkring, efter alt det, som han havde svoret deres Fædre; og ingen bestod for deres Ansigt af alle deres Fjender; Herren gav alle deres Fjender i deres Haand.

45 There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Der blev ikke et Ord til intet af alle de gode Ord, som Herren havde talet til Israels Hus, det opfyldtes alt sammen.
