1Hear, 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,
2A 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!
3Understand 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.
