^{23 Ref} then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

^{24 Ref} Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border.

^{25 Ref} There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

^{26 Ref} Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

^{27 Ref} the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

^{28 Ref} and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
