Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 1 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls the sending of the spies from Kadesh-barnea and their report about Canaan. Although they acknowledged that the land was good, the people feared its inhabitants and accused God of bringing them out of Egypt to destroy them. The episode is presented as a crisis of trust: the problem was not the absence of evidence concerning the land, but the fearful interpretation of its difficulties.

Siehe da das Land vor dir, das der HERR, dein Gott, dir gegeben hat; zieh hinauf und nimm's ein, wie der HERR, deiner Väter Gott, dir verheißen hat. Fürchte dich nicht und laß dir nicht grauen.
Mira, Jehová tu Dios ha dado delante de ti la tierra: sube y poséela, como Jehová el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho; no temas ni desmayes.
Vois, l'Eternel, ton Dieu, met le pays devant toi; monte, prends-en possession, comme te l'a dit l'Eternel, le Dieu de tes pères; ne crains point, et ne t'effraie point.
Vedi, il Signore Iddio tuo ha posto il paese in tuo potere; sali, possedilo, come il Signore Iddio de’ tuoi padri ti ha detto; non temere, e non ispaventarti.
Eis aqui o SENHOR teu Deus tem posto esta terra diante de ti; sobe, toma posse dela, como te falou o SENHOR Deus de teus pais; não temas, e não te assustes.
看,耶和華-你的上帝已將那地擺在你面前,你要照耶和華-你列祖的上帝所說的,上去得那地為業。不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。』
