Joshua 24:4
I gave unto Esau mount Seir—(See on Genesis 36:8). In order that he might be no obstacle to Jacob and his posterity being the exclusive heirs of Canaan.
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: a‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of1 the River in old times; and bthey served other gods.
3 aThen I took your father Abraham from the other side of1 the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and bgave him Isaac.
4 To Isaac I gave aJacob and Esau. To bEsau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, cbut Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
5 aAlso I sent Moses and Aaron, and bI plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.
6 ‘Then I abrought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
7 So they cried out to the Lord; and He put adarkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And byour eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness ca long time.
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, aand they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you.
9 Then aBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and bsent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.
