I remain, to-day, as courageous as on the day when Moses sent me, as my strength was then, so also my strength is now,—for war, both to go out and to come in.
and said unto them—A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in,—Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over this Jordan.
The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.
Now, therefore lo! Yahweh hath kept me alive as he spake these forty and five years from the time Yahweh spake this word unto Moses, while Israel journeyed in the desert. Now, therefore lo! I—to-day, am eighty and five years old:
But, they who wait for Yahweh, shall renew their strength, They shall mount on strong pinion like eagles,—They shall run and not grew weary, They shall walk and not faint.
