6 Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:

7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.
