Jozua 21:43-45

43 Alzo gaf de HEERE aan Israel het ganse land, dat Hij gezworen had hun vaderen te geven, en zij beerfden het, en woonden daarin.

44 En de HEERE gaf hun rust rondom, naar alles, wat Hij hun vaderen gezworen had; en er bestond niet een man van al hun vijanden voor hun aangezicht; al hun vijanden gaf de HEERE in hun hand.

45 Er viel niet een woord van al de goede woorden, die de HEERE gesproken had tot het huis van Israel; het kwam altemaal.
