1 Hear, O Israel: You are to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore today, that the LORD your God is the one who goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has said to you.
