10 Soothly the Lord granted life to me, as he promised, till into present day. Forty years and five be, since the Lord spake this word to Moses, when Israel went through wilderness. Today I am of fourscore years and five, (And the Lord granted life to me, as he promised, unto this present day. Forty-five years be, since the Lord said this word to Moses, when Israel went through the wilderness. And today I am eighty five years old,)

11 and I am as mighty (now), as I was mighty in that time, when I was sent (out) to espy; the strength of that time dwelleth stably in me till to this day, as well to fight, as to go (yea, the strength of that time remaineth in me unto this day, to fight, as well as to go about my daily life).

12 Therefore give thou to me this hill, which the Lord promised to me, while also thou heardest, in which hill be Anakim, and great cities, and strengthened; if in hap the Lord is with me, and I may do them away, as he promised to me. (And so give thou to me this hill, which the Lord promised me, while also thou heardest it, on which hill be the Anakim, that is, the giants, and great and strengthened cities; and if the Lord be with me, then I shall be able to do them away, as he promised me.)

So here I am today, eighty-five years old!(C) 11 I am still as strong(D) today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous(E) to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day.(F) You yourself heard then that the Anakites(G) were there and their cities were large and fortified,(H) but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
