Så gav då HERREN åt Israel hela det land som han med ed hade lovat giva åt deras fäder; och de togo det i besittning och bosatte sig där.
44 Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Och HERREN lät dem hava ro på alla sidor, alldeles såsom han med ed hade lovat deras fäder; och ingen av deras fiender kunde stå dem emot, utan HERREN gav alla deras fiender i deras hand.
45 Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Intet uteblev av allt det goda som HERREN hade lovat Israels hus; det gick allt i fullbordan. V. 36--37 se Gamla testamentets text i Ordförkl.
