6Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.”

7Turn and set out for yourselves, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Negev, and on the coast of the sea—the land of the Canaanites—and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River.

8See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring after them.
