Joshua 24:2–13

²And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ^d‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of ¹the River in old times; and ^ethey served other gods. ^3fThen I took your father Abraham from the other side of ²the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his ³descendants and ^ggave him Isaac. ⁴To Isaac I gave ^hJacob and Esau. To ⁱEsau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, ^jbut Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. ^5kAlso I sent Moses and Aaron, and ^lI plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.

⁶‘Then I ^mbrought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. ⁷So they cried out to the Lord; and He put ⁿdarkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And ^oyour eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness ^pa long time. ⁸And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, ^qand they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you. ⁹Then ^rBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and ^ssent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you. ^10tBut I would not listen to Balaam; ^utherefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand. ¹¹Then ^vyou went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And ^wthe men of Jericho fought against you—also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand. ^12xI sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but ^ynot with your sword or with your bow. ¹³I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and ^zcities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’
