The LORD your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Mitzrayim before your eyes,

and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.

Yet in this thing you didn't believe the LORD your God,

Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

as the children of Esav who dwell in Se`ir, and the Mo`avim who dwell in `Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Yarden into the land which the LORD our God gives us.

But Sichon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

From `Aro`er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and [from] the city that is in the valley, even to Gil`ad, there was not a city too high for us; the LORD our God delivered up all before us:

only to the land of the children of `Ammon you didn't come near; all the side of the river Yabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.

So the LORD our God delivered into our hand `Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we struck him until none was left to him remaining.

I commanded you at that time, saying, the LORD your God has given you this land to possess it: you shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Yisra'el, all the men of valor.

until the LORD give rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God gives them beyond the Yarden: then shall you return every man to his possession, which I have given you.

I commanded Yehoshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where you go over.

You shall not fear them; for the LORD your God, he it is who fights for you.

Lord GOD, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in eretz, that can do according to your works, and according to your mighty acts?

Now, Yisra'el, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.

You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the mitzvot of the LORD your God which I command you.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Ba`al-Pe`or; for all the men who followed Ba`al-Pe`or, the LORD your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.

But you who did cleave to the LORD your God are alive everyone of you this day.
