Deu 4:32-38, Jos 3:14-17, 6:20, 10:13-14, Psa 78:12-72, 105:27-45 | ESV | STEP | For ask now of the days that are past , which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth , and ask from one end of heaven to the other , whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of.

32 “For ^aask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 ^bDid any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, ^cby signs, by wonders, and ^dby war, ^eby a mighty hand and ^fan outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, ^gthat you might know that the Lord is God; ^hthere is no other besides him. 36 ⁱOut of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and ^jyou heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because ^khe loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them ^{▼▼Hebrew his offspring after him} and brought you out of Egypt ^mwith his own presence, by his great power, 38 ⁿdriving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,

Joshua 3:14-17

14 So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing ^othe ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and ^pthe feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now ^qthe Jordan overflows all its banks ^rthroughout the time of harvest), 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside ^sZarethan, and those flowing down toward the Sea of ^tthe Arabah, ^uthe Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. 17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, ^vand all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

Joshua 6:20

20 So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and ^wthe wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.

Joshua 10:13-14

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. 14 ^xThere has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for ^ythe Lord fought for Israel.

Psalms 78:12-72

12 In the sight of their fathers ^zhe performed wonders
in the land of Egypt, in ^aathe fields of Zoan.
13 He ^abdivided the sea and let them pass through it,
and made the waters ^acstand like a heap.
14 ^adIn the daytime he led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a fiery light.
15 He ^aesplit rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of ^afthe rock
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
^agrebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They ^ahtested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
^ai“Can God ^ajspread a table in the wilderness?
20 ^akHe struck the rock so that water gushed out
and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
or provide meat for his people?”
21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
^ala fire was kindled against Jacob;
his anger rose against Israel,
22 because they ^amdid not believe in God
and did not trust his saving power.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above
and ^anopened the doors of heaven,
24 and he ^aorained down on them manna to eat
and gave them ^apthe grain of heaven.
25 Man ate of the bread of ^aqthe angels;
he sent them food ^arin abundance.
26 He ^ascaused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
and by his power he led out the south wind;
27 he rained meat on them like ^atdust,
winged birds like ^authe sand of the seas;
28 he ^avlet them fall in the midst of their camp,
all around their dwellings.
29 And they ^awate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they ^axcraved.
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
^aywhile the food was still in their mouths,
31 the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed ^azthe strongest of them
and laid low ^bathe young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they ^bbstill sinned;
^bcdespite his wonders, they did not believe.
33 So he made ^bdtheir days ^bevanish like ^{▼▼Hebrew in} a breath, ^{▼▼Or vapor}
and their years in terror.
34 When he killed them, they ^bhsought him;
they repented and sought God earnestly.
35 They remembered that God was their ^birock,
the Most High God their ^bjredeemer.
36 But they ^bkflattered him with their mouths;
they ^bllied to him with their tongues.
37 Their ^bmheart was not ^bnsteadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he, being ^bocompassionate,
^bpatoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 He ^bqremembered that they were but ^brflesh,
^bsa wind that passes and comes not again.
40 How often they ^btrebelled against him in the wilderness
and ^bugrieved him in ^bvthe desert!
41 They ^bwtested God again and again
and provoked ^bxthe Holy One of Israel.
42 They ^bydid not remember his power ^{▼▼Hebrew hand}
or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
43 ^cawhen he performed his ^cbsigns in Egypt
and his ^ccmarvels in ^cdthe fields of Zoan.
44 He ^ceturned their rivers to blood,
so that they could not drink of their streams.
45 He sent among them swarms of ^cfflies, which devoured them,
and ^cgfrogs, which destroyed them.
46 He gave their crops to ^chthe destroying locust
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with ^cihail
and their sycamores with frost.
48 He gave over their ^cjcattle to the hail
and their flocks to thunderbolts.
49 He let loose on them his burning anger,
wrath, indignation, and distress,
a company of ^ckdestroying angels.
50 He made a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death,
but gave their lives over to the plague.
51 He struck down every ^clfirstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of ^cmHam.
52 Then he led out his people ^cnlike sheep
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 ^coHe led them in safety, so that they ^cpwere not afraid,
but ^cqthe sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 And he brought them to his ^crholy land,
^csto the mountain which his right hand had ^ctwon.
55 He ^cudrove out nations before them;
he ^cvapportioned them for a possession
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 Yet they ^cwtested and ^cxrebelled against the Most High God
and did not keep his testimonies,
57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
they twisted like ^cya deceitful bow.
58 For they ^czprovoked him to anger with their ^dahigh places;
they ^dbmoved him to jealousy with their ^dcidols.
59 When God heard, he was full of ^ddwrath,
and he utterly rejected Israel.
60 He ^deforsook his dwelling at ^dfShiloh,
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61 and delivered his ^dgpower to captivity,
his ^dhglory to the hand of the foe.
62 He ^digave his people over to the sword
and ^djvented his wrath on his heritage.
63 ^dkFire devoured their young men,
and their young women had no ^dlmarriage song.
64 Their ^dmpriests fell by the sword,
and their ^dnwidows made no lamentation.
65 Then the Lord ^doawoke as from sleep,
like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66 And he ^dpput his adversaries to rout;
he put them to everlasting shame.
67 He rejected the tent of ^dqJoseph;
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which he ^drloves.
69 He ^dsbuilt his sanctuary like the high heavens,
like the earth, which he has founded forever.
70 He ^dtchose David his servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 from ^dufollowing the nursing ewes he brought him
to ^dvshepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his ^dwinheritance.
72 With ^dxupright heart he shepherded them
and ^dyguided them with his skillful hand.

Psalms 105:27-45

27 ^dzThey performed his signs among them
and miracles in ^eathe land of Ham.
28 He ^ebsent darkness, and made the land dark;
they ^ecdid not rebel ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac omit not} against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and ^eecaused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in ^efthe chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came ^egswarms of flies,
^ehand gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery ^eilightning bolts through their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and ^ejshattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the ^eklocusts came,
young locusts without number,
35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He ^elstruck down all the firstborn in their land,
^emthe firstfruits of all their strength.
37 Then he brought out Israel with ^ensilver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 ^eoEgypt was glad when they departed,
for ^epdread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He ^eqspread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 ^erThey asked, and he ^esbrought quail,
and gave them ^etbread from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and ^euwater gushed out;
it flowed through ^evthe desert like a river.
42 For he ^ewremembered his holy promise,
and ^exAbraham, his servant.
43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his ^eychosen ones with ^ezsinging.
44 And he ^fagave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,
45 that they might ^fbkeep his statutes
and ^fcobserve his laws.
^fdPraise the Lord!
