Joshua 24:8-10

Contemporary English Version

^8 (A) then I brought you into the land east of the Jordan River. The Amorites were living there, and they fought you. But with my help, you defeated them, wiped them out, and took their land. ^9 (B) King Balak decided that his nation Moab would go to war against you, so he asked Balaam^[a] to come and put a curse on you. ¹⁰ But I wouldn't listen to Balaam, and I rescued you by making him bless you instead of curse you.
