I come, And will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. 11. And many nations shall be joined Unto Jehovah in that day, And shall be my people; And I will dwell in the midst of thee; And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 12.

So they set the clean turband on his head and clothed him with the garments. Then the 6. angel of Jehovah stood; and the angel of Jehovah testified unto Joshua, saying, 7.
