And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 14 of Joshua. Caleb approaches Joshua to claim the inheritance Moses had promised him. His argument is based on his faithfulness when he was sent as a spy forty-five years earlier. Caleb recalls that he followed the Lord fully while others discouraged the people. His request for Hebron connects territorial reward with a history of perseverance and trust. The elderly Caleb is not asking for an exception because of weakness, but claiming the fulfillment of a word received decades earlier.

Maintenant voici, l'Eternel m'a fait vivre, comme il l'a dit. Il y a quarante-cinq ans que l'Eternel parlait ainsi à Moïse, lorsqu'Israël marchait dans le désert; et maintenant voici, je suis âgé aujourd'hui de quatre-vingt-cinq ans.
E ora, ecco, il Signore mi ha conservato in vita, come egli ne avea parlato. Già son quarantacinque anni, da che il Signore disse quello a Mosè, quando Israele andò nel deserto; e ora, ecco, io sono oggi d’età d’ottantacinque anni.
E agora eis que o SENHOR me conservou em vida, como disse; quarenta e cinco anos são passados, desde que o SENHOR falou esta palavra a Moisés, andando Israel ainda no deserto; e agora eis que hoje tenho já oitenta e cinco anos;
現在,看哪,耶和華照他所說的使我活了這四十五年。當 以色列 人在曠野飄流的時候,耶和華曾對 摩西 說了這話。現在,看哪,我已經八十五歲了。
