Not Because of Israel’s Righteousness

9 Hear, Israel: You are now about to cross the Jordan^(A) to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you,^(B) with large cities^(C) that have walls up to the sky.^(D)

¹⁰ But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the Lord your God is giving^(A) you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest^(B) from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety.

¹¹ “Go through the camp^(A) and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions^(B) ready. Three days^(C) from now you will cross the Jordan^(D) here to go in and take possession^(E) of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”
