Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

Verse 12 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.

So gib mir nun dies Gebirge, davon der HERR geredet hat an jenem Tage; denn du hast's gehört am selben Tage. Denn es wohnen die Enakiter droben, und sind große und feste Städte. Ob der HERR mit mir sein wollte, daß ich sie vertriebe, wie der HERR geredet hat.
Dame, pues, ahora este monte, del cual habló Jehová aquel día; porque tú oíste en aquel día que los Anaceos están allí, y grandes y fuertes ciudades. Quizá Jehová será conmigo, y los echaré como Jehová ha dicho.
Ahora, pues, dame este monte del que Jehová habló aquel día, porque tú oíste aquel día que allí hay anaceos y ciudades grandes y fortificadas. Quizá Jehová esté conmigo y los expulsaré, como Jehová ha dicho».
Donne-moi donc cette montagne dont l'Eternel a parlé dans ce temps-là; car tu as appris alors qu'il s'y trouve des Anakim, et qu'il y a des villes grandes et fortifiées. L'Eternel sera peut-être avec moi, et je les chasserai, comme l'Eternel a dit.
Ora dunque dammi questo monte, del quale il Signore parlò in quel giorno; perciocchè tu udisti in quel giorno che gli Anachiti sono là, e che vi sono delle città grandi e forti; forse il Signore sarà meco, e io li scaccerò, come il Signore ne ha parlato.
Agora, pois, dá-me este monte de que o SENHOR falou aquele dia; pois naquele dia tu ouviste que estavam ali os anaquins, e grandes e fortes cidades. Porventura o SENHOR será comigo, para os expulsar, como o SENHOR disse.
請你將耶和華那日所說的這山區給我。那日你也曾聽說,這裏有 亞衲 族人,以及寬大堅固的城,或許耶和華會照他所說的與我同在,我就把他們趕出去。」
