Joshua 24:3-13
3Then 1I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and 2multiplied his 3descendants and gave him 4Isaac. 4To Isaac I gave 5Jacob and Esau, and 6to Esau I gave Mount Seir, to possess it; but 7Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt. 5Then 8I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt 9by what I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out. 6So I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and 10you came to the sea; and Egypt pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the 11Red 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 12you lived in the wilderness for a long time. 8Then 13I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who lived beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you; but I handed them over to you, and you took possession of their land when I eliminated them before you. 9Then 14Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, rose up and fought against Israel, and he sent messengers and summoned Balaam the son of Beor to curse you. 10But I 15was not willing to listen to Balaam. So he had to bless you, and I saved you from his hand. 1116You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho; and the citizens of Jericho fought against you, and 17the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Therefore 18I handed them over to you. 12Then I 19sent the hornet before you and it 20drove out the two kings of the Amorites from you--21not by your sword nor your bow. 13And 22I 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.’
