You did not do it with your own sword and bow.(H) 13 So I gave you a land(I) on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’(J)

12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
