Nehemiah 9:22-27 And thou gavest them kingdoms, and peoples, and allotted to each of them a corner,––and they took possession of the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² And thou gavest them kingdoms, and peoples, and allotted to each of them a corner,––and they took possession of the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ²³ Their children also, didst thou multiply, like the stars of the heavens,––and didst bring them into the land which thou hadst promised their fathers they should enter to possess; ²⁴ so the children entered and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and deliveredst them into their hand,––with their kings, and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their pleasure; ²⁵ and they captured fortified cities and a fat soil, and took possession of houses full of every good thing, wells digged, vineyards and oliveyards and fruit–trees, in abundance,––so they did eat and were filled and became fat, and luxuriated in thy great goodness. ²⁶ But they murmured and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and, thy prophets, they slew, who testified against them that they might turn them back unto thee,––and they wrought great insults. ²⁷ Therefore didst thou deliver them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them,––and, in the time of their distress, they made outcry unto thee, and, thou, out of the heavens, didst hear, and, according to thine abounding compassions, gavest them saviors, that they might save them out of the hand of their adversaries.
