And JOSHUA said : "Thus said the Lord GOD of Israel : 'Your FATHERS dwelt ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD IN OLD TIME, even TERAH, the FATHER OF ABRAHAM, and the FATHER OF NACHOR and THEY SERVED OTHER GODS.'
And I TOOK your father ABRAHAM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, and LED HIM THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND OF CANA-AN (Cana of Galilee), and MULTIPLIED HIS SEED, and GAVE him ISAAC. And GAVE to Isaac JACOB AND ESAU.
And I GAVE unto ESAU Mount SEIR, to possess it; BUT JACOB AND HIS CHILDREN WENT DOWN INTO EGYPT. I sent MOSES also and AARON, and I plagued EGYPT ... and AFTERWARD I BROUGHT YOU OUT (from flesh slavery). And I BROUGHT YOUR FATHERS OUT OF EGYPT (set them free from flesh control of their powers) and YOU CAME TO THE SEA; and the EGYPTIANS PURSUED AFTER YOUR FATHERS (they did not want to lose the powers they had with you under their control) with CHARIOTS and HORSEMEN (Revelations) TO THE RED SEA.
And when YOUR FATHERS CRIED TO THE LORD (they could not free themselves), HE PUT "DARKNESS" between YOU and the EGYPTIANS, and brought the SEA UPON THEM, and COVERED THEM (darkness took control over them); and YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN WHAT I HAVE DONE IN EGYPT BUT YOU PREFERRED TO DWELL IN THE WILDERNESS A LONG SEASON (you did not choose me as your GOD).
And I BROUGHT YOU (because you choose to dwell in the wilderness) INTO the LAND of the AMORITES, which DWELT IN THE OTHER SIDE JORDAN; and THEY FOUGHT WITH YOU: and I GAVE THEM INTO YOUR HAND (I put their powers into you to control it), that YOU MIGHT POSSESS THEIR LAND; and I DESTROYED THEM FROM BEFORE YOU.
Then BALAK the son of ZIPPOR, king of MOAB, arose and warred against ISRAEL, and sent and called BALAAM the son of BEOR to CURSE YOU (given the fact that in the wilderness you needed a prophet to contact me). But I WOULD NOT HEAR TO BALAAM; therefore he BLESSED YOU STILL, so I DELIVERED YOU OUT OF HIS HAND.
