23. You gave them as many children as there are stars in the sky,and let them conquer and live in the landthat you had promised their ancestors to give them.
24. They conquered the land of Canaan;you overcame the people living there.You gave your people the power to do as they pleasedwith the people and kings of Canaan.
25. Your people captured fortified cities,fertile land, houses full of wealth,cisterns already dug,olive trees, fruit trees, and vineyards.They ate all they wanted and grew fat;they enjoyed all the good things you gave them.
