Således gav Herren Israel hele det land han hadde svoret å ville gi deres fedre; og de inntok det og bosatte sig der.
44 The LORD gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. The LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Og Herren lot dem ha ro på alle kanter, aldeles som han hadde tilsvoret deres fedre; og ingen av alle deres fiender kunde holde stand imot dem; alle deres fiender gav Herren i deres hånd.
45 Nothing failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Ikke ett ord blev til intet av alle de gode ord Herren hadde talt til Israels hus; det blev opfylt alt sammen.
