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 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD 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 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto 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.
