43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and dwelt in it.
Zo gaf Jahweh aan Israël het gehele land, dat Hij hun vaderen gezworen had te zullen geven. Zij namen het in bezit, en gingen er wonen.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
En Jahweh gaf hun naar alle kanten rust, juist zoals Hij het hun vaderen onder ede beloofd had. Geen van hun vijanden kon voor hen stand houden; want Jahweh leverde hun al hun vijanden uit.
45 There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
Niet één van alle beloften, die Jahweh het huis van Israël had gedaan, bleef onvervuld; allen werden zij ingelost.
