Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 31:3–5

³The LORD your God Himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will dispossess them. Joshua will cross ahead of you, as the LORD has said. ⁴And the LORD will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, when He destroyed them along with their land.

⁵The LORD will deliver them over to you, and you must do to them exactly as I have commanded you.
