Deuteronomy 1:8 In-Context

6 Back at Horeb, God, our God, spoke to us: "You've stayed long enough at this mountain.

7 On your way now. Get moving. Head for the Amorite hills, wherever people are living in the Arabah, the mountains, the foothills, the Negev, the seashore - the Canaanite country and the Lebanon all the way to the big river, the Euphrates.

8 Look, I've given you this land. Now go in and take it. It's the land God promised to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their children after them."

9 At the time I told you, "I can't do this, can't carry you all by myself.

10 God, your God, has multiplied your numbers. Why, look at you - you rival the stars in the sky!
