Yehoshua 24:6-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. And I brought Avoteichem out of Mitzrayim; and ye came unto the Yam [Suf]; the Mitzrayim pursued after Avoteichem with chariots and parashim unto the Yam Suf.

7. And when they cried unto Hashem, He put darkness between you and the Mitzrayim, and brought the yam upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Mitzrayim; and ye dwelt in the midbar yamim rabbim.

8. And I brought you into the Eretz HaEmori, the ones dwelling on the other side of the Yarden; they fought against you; I gave them into your yad, that ye might possess their land; I destroyed them from before you.

9. Then Balak ben Tzippor Melech Moav arose and warred against Yisroel, and sent and summoned Balaam ben Beor to curse you;

10. But I would not pay heed unto Balaam; therefore he made a berakhah over you; so I saved you out of his yad.

11. And you went over the Yarden, and came unto Yericho; and the Ba'alei Yericho fought against you, and HaEmori, and the Perizzi, and the Kena'ani, and the Chitti, and the Girgashi, the Chivi, and the Yevusi; and I gave them into your yad.

12. And I sent the tzirah (hornet) before you, which drove them out ahead of you, even the two melachim of the Emori; but not with thy cherev, nor with thy keshet.

13. So I have given you an Eretz for which ye did not toil, and towns which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; kramim and zetim (olive groves) which ye eat but did not plant.
