Joshua 24:12 in Context — Joshua 24

10 Mais je ne voulus point écouter Balaam; il vous bénit, et je vous délivrai de la main de Balak.

11 Vous passâtes le Jourdain, et vous arrivâtes à Jéricho. Les habitants de Jéricho combattirent contre vous, les Amoréens, les Phéréziens, les Cananéens, les Héthiens, les Guirgasiens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens. Je les livrai entre vos mains,

12 et j’envoyai devant vous les frelons, qui les chassèrent loin de votre face, comme les deux rois des Amoréens: ce ne fut ni par ton épée, ni par ton arc.

13 Je vous donnai un pays que vous n’aviez point cultivé, des villes que vous n’aviez point bâties et que vous habitez, des vignes et des oliviers que vous n’aviez point plantés et qui vous servent de nourriture.

14 Maintenant, craignez l’Éternel, et servez-le avec intégrité et fidélité. Faites disparaître les dieux qu’ont servis vos pères de l’autre côté du fleuve et en Égypte, et servez l’Éternel.
