⁹ “But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them,
    who were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks—
I destroyed ·them completely [^Ltheir fruit above and roots below].
¹⁰ It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt
    and led you for forty years through the ·desert [wilderness]
    ·so I could give you [^Lto possess] the land of the Amorites.
¹¹ I made some of your children to be prophets
    and some of your young people to be Nazirites [Num. 6:2].
·People [^LSons/^TChildren] of Israel, isn’t this true?” says the Lord.
