20 “You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21 “And for forty years You sustained them in the wilderness – they lacked not. Their garments did not wear out and their feet did not swell.
22 “And You gave them reigns and peoples, and apportioned them their lot. So they took possession of the land of Siḥon, and the land of the sovereign of Ḥeshbon, and the land of Og̅ sovereign of Bashan.
23 “And You increased their children as the stars of the heavens, and brought them into the land which You had said to their fathers to go in and possess.
24 “So the sons went in and possessed the land, and You humbled before them the people of the land, the Kena‛anites, and gave them into their hands, with their sovereigns and the people of the land, to do with them as they desired.
