Your eyes have seen the great judgments, those signs and mighty wonders.

Listen, Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan so you can dispossess the nations there, people greater and stronger than you who live in large cities with extremely high fortifications.

You must not have in your bag different stone weights, a heavy and a light one.

You must not have in your house different measuring containers, a large and a small one.

(The Emites used to live there, a people as powerful, numerous, and tall as the Anakites.

They are a people as powerful, numerous, and tall as the Anakites. But the Lord destroyed the Rephaites in advance of the Ammonites, so they dispossessed them and settled down in their place.

And he brought signs and great, devastating wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on his whole family before our very eyes.

You must not tremble in their presence, for the Lord your God, who is present among you, is a great and awesome God.

The Lord your God will give them over to you; he will throw them into a great panic until they are destroyed.

They are your people, your valued property, whom you brought out with great strength and power.

I am speaking to you because you are the ones who saw all the great deeds of the Lord!

then he will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.

Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.

and he displayed great power and awesome might in view of all Israel.

What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage by describing people who are more numerous and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven itself! Moreover, they said they saw Anakites there.”

In fact, what other great nation has a god so near to them like the Lord our God whenever we call on him?

And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this whole law that I am about to share with you today?

From heaven he spoke to you in order to teach you, and on earth he showed you his great fire from which you also heard his words.

Moreover, because he loved your ancestors, he chose their descendants who followed them and personally brought you out of Egypt with his great power

to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property.
