Micah

Micah 6:4–5

4For I brought you up from the land of Egypt

and redeemed you from the house of slavery.

I sent Moses before you,

as well as Aaron and Miriam.

5My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled

and what Balaam son of Beor answered.

Remember your journey from Shittima to Gilgal,

so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
