43 So YHWH gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.
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 YHWH gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. YHWH 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 Nothing failed of any good thing which YHWH had spoken to 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.
