6. The Lord our God spoke to us at Mount Sinai. He said, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
7. Get ready. Go to the mountain country of the Amorites. Go to all the places around there—the Jordan Valley, the mountains, the western slopes, the southern area, the seacoast, the land of Canaan and Lebanon. Go as far as the great river, the Euphrates.
8. See, I have given you this land. Go in and take it for yourselves. The Lord promised it to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants.”
9. At that time I said, “I am not able to take care of you by myself.
10. The Lord your God has made you grow in number. There are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
