Joshua 24:3-13

3Then 1I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from beyondH4480H5676 the 2RiverH5104, and ledH1980 him through allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and 3multipliedH7235 his 4descendantsH2233 and gaveH5414 him 5IsaacH3327. 4To IsaacH3327 I gaveH5414 6JacobH3290 and EsauH6215, and 7to EsauH6215 I gaveH5414 MountH2022 SeirH8165 to possessH3423 it; but 8JacobH3290 and his sonsH1121 wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714. 5Then 9I sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and I plaguedH5062 EgyptH4714 10by whatH834 I didH6213 in its midstH7130; and afterwardH310 I broughtH3318 you out. 6I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714, and 11you cameH935 to the seaH3220; and EgyptH4714 pursuedH7291 your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 to the 12RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220. 7But when they criedH6817 out to the LordH3068, He putH7760 darknessH3990 betweenH996 you and the EgyptiansH4713, and broughtH935 the seaH3220 upon them and coveredH3680 them; and your own eyesH5869 sawH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 in EgyptH4714. And 13you livedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 for a longH7227 timeH3117. 8Then 14I broughtH935 you into the landH776 of the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, and they foughtH3898 with you; and I gaveH5414 them into your handH3027, and you tookH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776 when I destroyedH8045 them beforeH6440 you. 9Then 15BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, aroseH6965 and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478, and he sentH7971 and summonedH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you. 10But I 16was not willingH14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109. So he hadH1288 to blessH1288 you, and I deliveredH5337 you from his handH3027. 1117You crossedH5674 the JordanH3383 and cameH935 to JerichoH3405; and the citizensH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, and 18the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the GirgashiteH1622, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. Thus 19I gaveH5414 them into your handH3027. 12Then I 20sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you and it 21droveH1644 out the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 from beforeH4480H6440 you, but 22not by your swordH2719 or your bowH7198. 1323I gaveH5414 you a landH776 on whichH834 you had not laboredH3021, and citiesH5892 whichH834 you had not builtH1129, and you have livedH3427 in them; you are eatingH398 of vineyardsH3754 and oliveH2132 grovesH2132 whichH834 you did not plantH5193.’
