“ When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you.

“ I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.I will send terror ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites.

You drove out the pagan nations by your power and gave all the land to our ancestors. You crushed their enemies and set our ancestors free.They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them.

“ Listen, O Israel! Today you are about to cross the Jordan River to take over the land belonging to nations much greater and more powerful than you. They live in cities with walls that reach to the sky!The people are strong and tall— descendants of the famous Anakite giants. You’ve heard the saying,‘ Who can stand up to the Anakites?’But recognize today that the Lord your God is the one who will cross over ahead of you like a devouring fire to destroy them. He will subdue them so that you will quickly conquer them and drive them out, just as the Lord has promised.“ After the Lord your God has done this for you, don’t say in your hearts,‘ The Lord has given us this land because we are such good people!’ No, it is because of the wickedness of the other nations that he is pushing them out of your way.It is not because you are so good or have such integrity that you are about to occupy their land. The Lord your God will drive these nations out ahead of you only because of their wickedness, and to fulfill the oath he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Then the Lord will drive out all the nations ahead of you, though they are much greater and stronger than you, and you will take over their land.

Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Look, I have begun to hand King Sihon and his land over to you. Begin now to conquer and occupy his land.’“ Then King Sihon declared war on us and mobilized his forces at Jahaz.But the Lord our God handed him over to us, and we crushed him, his sons, and all his people.We conquered all his towns and completely destroyed everyone— men, women, and children. Not a single person was spared.We took all the livestock as plunder for ourselves, along with anything of value from the towns we ransacked.“ The Lord our God also helped us conquer Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge, and the town in the gorge, and the whole area as far as Gilead. No town had walls too strong for us.However, we avoided the land of the Ammonites all along the Jabbok River and the towns in the hill country— all the places the Lord our God had commanded us to leave alone.“ Next we turned and headed for the land of Bashan, where King Og and his entire army attacked us at Edrei.But the Lord told me,‘ Do not be afraid of him, for I have given you victory over Og and his entire army, and I will give you all his land. Treat him just as you treated King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.’“ So the Lord our God handed King Og and all his people over to us, and we killed them all. Not a single person survived.We conquered all sixty of his towns— the entire Argob region in his kingdom of Bashan. Not a single town escaped our conquest.These towns were all fortified with high walls and barred gates. We also took many unwalled villages at the same time.We completely destroyed the kingdom of Bashan, just as we had destroyed King Sihon of Heshbon. We destroyed all the people in every town we conquered— men, women, and children alike.But we kept all the livestock for ourselves and took plunder from all the towns.“ So we took the land of the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River— all the way from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon.( Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians, and the Amorites call it Senir.)We had now conquered all the cities on the plateau and all Gilead and Bashan, as far as the towns of Salecah and Edrei, which were part of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.( King Og of Bashan was the last survivor of the giant Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It can still be seen in the Ammonite city of Rabbah.)“ When we took possession of this land, I gave to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the territory beyond Aroer along the Arnon Gorge, plus half of the hill country of Gilead with its towns.Then I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan— Og’s former kingdom— to the half tribe of Manasseh.( This entire Argob region of Bashan used to be known as the land of the Rephaites.Jair, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered the whole Argob region in Bashan, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. Jair renamed this region after himself, calling it the Towns of Jair, as it is still known today.)I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir.But I also gave part of Gilead to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The area I gave them extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge in the south to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite frontier.

Today you will know that the living God is among you. He will surely drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites ahead of you.
