Context of Nehemiah 9:22

20You gave them your good Spirit to teach them. You didn’t keep your manna to yourself. You gave them water to quench their thirst. 21You provided for them in the desert for 40 years, and they had everything they needed. Their clothes didn’t wear out, and their feet didn’t swell. You gave kingdoms and nations to the Israelites and assigned them their boundaries. So they took possession of the land of Sihon, the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of King Og of Bashan. 23You made their children as numerous as the stars in the sky. You brought them into the land you told their parents to enter and possess. 24Their children took possession of the land. You defeated for them the Canaanites, who lived in the land. You handed the Canaanite kings and their people over to them to do whatever they wanted with the Canaanites.
