And Caleb silenced the people before Moses, and said, Let us arise to go up and take possession, for we are able to prevail.

and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

Only do not rebel against Jehovah, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their shade has departed from them, and Jehovah is with us. Do not fear them.

So the two men returned, descended from the mountain, and crossed over; and they came to Joshua the son of Nun, and recounted to him all that happened to them.

And they said to Joshua, Truly Jehovah has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the land have melted before us.

Therefore now behold, Jehovah has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and Jehovah has spoken calamity against you.

And Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you be slack to go and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers has given to you?

Be strong and be like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be like men, and fight!

Be strong, and let us be courageous for our people and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do what is good in His eyes.

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,

that you do not become slothful, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make sure of your calling and election, for if you do these things you will not ever stumble;

for so an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.
