Joshua 24:8, Berean Standard Bible

Joshua is speaking at Shechem, but the words are framed as a direct oracle from the LORD, who recounts Israel's history in the first person. Here God recalls the approach to the land east of the Jordan, where the Amorite kings Sihon and Og opposed Israel and were defeated under Moses, as told in Numbers 21.
