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 YHWH gives rest to them all around, according to all that which He has sworn to their fathers, and there has not stood a man in their presence of all their enemies, YHWH has given the whole of 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 has not fallen a thing of all the good thing which YHWH spoke to the house of Israel—the whole has come.

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