And allotted them to them as a [a]boundary.
(A)They took possession of the land of Sihon [b]the king of Heshbon
And the land of Og the king of Bashan.
23 “You made their sons numerous as (B)the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.
24 (C)So their sons entered and possessed the land.
And (D)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land,
To do with them [c]as they desired.
