Nehemiah 9:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ You multiplied their descendants
like the stars of heaven^(A)
and brought them to the land
You told their ancestors to go in and take possession of it.
²⁴ So their descendants went in and possessed the land:
You subdued the Canaanites who inhabited the land before them
and handed their kings and the surrounding peoples over to them,^(B)
to do as they pleased with them.
²⁵ They captured fortified cities and fertile land
and took possession of well-supplied houses,
cisterns cut out of rock, vineyards,
olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance.^(C)
They ate, were filled,
became prosperous, and delighted in Your great goodness.
