In this manner you will purge out the guilt of innocent blood from among you, for you must do what is right before<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

The foreigners<n id="1" /> who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

They include the Anakites,<n id="1" /> a numerous<n id="2" /> and tall people whom you know about and of whom it is said, &#8220;Who is able to resist the Anakites?&#8221;

how they met you along the way and cut off all your stragglers in the rear of the march when you were exhausted and tired; they were unafraid of God.<n id="1" />

He said:p><t /><p class="poetry">The <sc>Lordsc> came from Sinaip> <p class="poetry">and revealed himself<n id="1" /> to Israel<n id="2" /> from Seir.p> <p class="poetry">He appeared in splendor<n id="3" /> from Mount Paran,p> <p class="poetry">and came forth with ten thousand holy ones.<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">With his right hand he gave a fiery law<n id="5" /> to them.p>

The <sc>Lordsc> will open for you his good treasure house, the heavens, to give you rain for the land in its season and to bless all you do;<n id="1" /> you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow from any.

Then Moses called out to Joshua<n id="1" /> in the presence of all Israel, &#8220;Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the <sc>Lordsc> promised to give their ancestors,<n id="2" /> and you will enable them to inherit it.

<p class="poetry">You have joy, Israel! Who is like you?p> <p class="poetry">You are a people delivered by the <sc>Lordsc>,p> <p class="poetry">your protective shieldp> <p class="poetry">and your exalted sword.p> <p class="poetry">May your enemies cringe before you;p> <p class="poetry">may you trample on their backs.p>
