7 And when ye came unto this place Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og th king of Baslian, came out against u» un to battle, and we smote them:

8 And we took their land, and gave i for an inheritance unto the Reubenitei and to the Gadites, and to the half trib of Manasseh.

9 Keep therefore the words of thi covenant, and do them, that ye ma; prosper in all that ye do.

so That thou mayest love the Lord shy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayelt cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord iware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
