Nehemiah 9:22-25

22Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.

23Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.

24So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522.1

25And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898.23
