Deuteronomy 1:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ People of Israel, when we were in our camp at Mount Sinai,^[a] the Lord our God told us:

You have stayed here long enough. ⁷ Leave this place and go into the land that belongs to the Amorites and their neighbors the Canaanites. This land includes the Jordan River valley, the hill country, the western foothills, the Southern Desert, the Mediterranean seacoast, the Lebanon Mountains, and all the territory as far as the Euphrates River. ⁸ I give you this land, just as I promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now you must go and take the land.
