for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.
The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land.
Therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God.”
