Nehemiah 9:22

Nehemiah 9:22

20 You also gave Your ^agood Spirit to instruct them,
And did not withhold Your ^bmanna from their mouth,
And gave them ^cwater for their thirst.

21 ^aForty years You sustained them in the wilderness;
They lacked nothing;
Their ^bclothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell.

22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,
And divided them into¹ districts.
So they took possession of the land of ^aSihon,
¹The land of the king of Heshbon,
And the land of Og king of Bashan.

23 You also multiplied ^atheir children as the stars of heaven,
And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.

24 So ^athe people went in
And possessed the land;
^bYou subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
The Canaanites,
And gave them into their hands,
With their kings
And the people of the land,
That they might do with them as they wished.

25 And¹ they took strong cities and a ^arich land,
And possessed ^bhouses full of all goods,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
And fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate and were filled and ^cgrew fat,
And delighted themselves in Your great ^dgoodness.

26 “Nevertheless they ^awere disobedient
And rebelled against You,
^bCast Your law behind their backs
And killed Your ^cprophets, who testified against them
To turn them to Yourself;
And they worked great provocations.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Nehemiah 9:21

Nehemiah 9:23 >>

Divide - The Heathen nations, whom God in a great measure destroyed, and the remainders of them he dispersed into corners; that whereas before the Israelites came, they had large habitations, now they were cooped up, some in one town, and some in another, in the several corners of their land, while the Israelites dwelt in a large place, and had the possession of their whole land, some few and small parcels excepted.
