They took the labor of the peoples in possession, 45 That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise Yah!
• Deut 4:32-38 : 32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it? 33 Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? 34 Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that Yahweh he is God; there is none else besides him. 36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt; 38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
• Josh 3:14-17 : 14 It happened, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people; 15 and when those who bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest), 16 that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. 17 The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.

• Josh 10:13-14 : 13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day. 14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man: for Yahweh fought for Israel.

• Ps 78:12-72 : 12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through; He made the waters stand as a heap. 14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, And all night with a light of fire. 15 He split rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert. 18 They tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire. 19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, Streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?" 21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, Anger also went up against Israel, 22 Because they didn't believe in God, And didn't trust in his salvation. 23 Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven. 24 He rained down manna on them to eat, And gave them food from the sky. 25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full. 26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind. 27 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; Winged birds as the sand of the seas. 28 He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their habitations. 29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire. 30 They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths, 31 When the anger of God went up against them, Killed some of the fattest of them, And struck down the young men of Israel. 32 For all this they still sinned, And didn't believe in his wondrous works. 33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in terror. 34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly. 35 They remembered that God was their rock, The Most High God their redeemer. 36 But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied to him with their tongue. 37 For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. 38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, And didn't stir up all his wrath. 39 He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and doesn't come again. 40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert! 41 They turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. 42 They didn't remember his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; 43 How he set his signs in Egypt, His wonders in the field of Zoan, 44 Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. 45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them. 46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail, Their sycamore-fig trees with frost. 48 He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, And a band of angels of evil. 50 He made a path for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence, 51 And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. 52 But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, But the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had taken. 55 He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And didn't keep his testimonies; 57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their engraved images. 59 When God heard this, he was angry, And greatly abhorred Israel; 60 So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men; 61 And delivered his strength into captivity, His glory into the adversary's hand. 62 He also gave his people over to the sword, And was angry with his inheritance. 63 Fire devoured their young men; Their virgins had no wedding song. 64 Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows couldn't weep. 65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine. 66 He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach. 67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, And didn't choose the tribe of Ephraim, 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved. 69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he has established forever. 70 He also chose David his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds; 71 From following the ewes that have their young, He brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, And Israel, his inheritance. 72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
