Be on your guard! Make certain that you do not forget, as long as you live, what you have seen with your own eyes. Tell your children and your grandchildren

With our own ears we have heard it, O God--- our ancestors have told us about it, about the great things you did in their time, in the days of long ago:

how you yourself drove out the heathen and established your people in their land; how you punished the other nations and caused your own to prosper.

The people of Israel are going to see this with their own eyes, and they will say, "The LORD is mighty even outside the land of Israel!"

Never before, and never since, has there been a day like it, when the LORD obeyed a human being. The LORD fought on Israel's side!

Joshua conquered all these kings and their territory in one campaign because the LORD, Israel's God, was fighting for Israel.

The LORD will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still."

The LORD your God is going with you, and he will give you victory.'

Your people did not conquer the land with their swords; they did not win it by their own power; it was by your power and your strength, by the assurance of your presence, which showed that you loved them.
