Joshua 24:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “ ‘I brought you to the land of the Amorites. They lived east of the Jordan River. They fought against you. But I handed them over to you. I destroyed them to make room for you. Then you took over their land. ⁹ Balak, the son of Zippor, prepared to fight against Israel. Balak was the king of Moab. He sent for Balaam, the son of Beor. Balak wanted Balaam to put a curse on you. ¹⁰ But I would not listen to Balaam’s curses. So he blessed you again and again. And I saved you from his power.
