Behold, I have set the land before you
Described it to them, and set its bounds, as well as had given them a grant of it:

and which being thus made sure unto them, they had nothing more to do than to go and take possession of it.

Deuteronomy 1:8 In-Context

6 The Lord our God spoke to us at Mount Sinai and said, "You have stayed long enough at this mountain.

7 Get ready, and go to the mountain country of the Amorites, and to all the places around there -- the Jordan Valley, the mountains, the western hills, the southern area, the seacoast, the land of Canaan, and Lebanon. Go as far as the great river, the Euphrates.

8 See, I have given you this land, so go in and take it for yourselves. The Lord promised it to your ancestors -- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their descendants."

9 At that time I said, "I am not able to take care of you by myself.

10 The Lord your God has made you grow in number so that there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
