Joshua 24:3-13

3Then 1I took your father Abraham from beyond the 2River, and led him through all the land of Canaan, and 3multiplied his 4descendants and gave him 5Isaac. 4To Isaac I gave 6Jacob and Esau, and 7to Esau I gave Mount Seir to possess it; but 8Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt. 5Then 9I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt 10by what I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out. 6I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and 11you came to the sea; and Egypt pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the 12Red Sea. 7But when they cried out to the Lord, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them and covered them; and your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And 13you lived in the wilderness for a long time. 8Then 14I brought you into the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land when I destroyed them before you. 9Then 15Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel, and he sent and summoned Balaam the son of Beor to curse you. 10But I 16was not willing to listen to Balaam. So he had to bless you, and I delivered you from his hand. 1117You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho; and the citizens of Jericho fought against you, and 18the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Girgashite, the Hivite and the Jebusite. Thus 19I gave them into your hand. 12Then I 20sent the hornet before you and it 21drove out the two kings of the Amorites from before you, but 22not by your sword or your bow. 1323I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you have lived in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’
