Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in. And to them I will give the land: and they shall possess it.
Would God that we had died in Egypt! And would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land: lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols.
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
And the children came and possessed the land: and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them.
