Passage Context

8Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

11As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
