9Gen 12.1; 24.35; Acts 7.3; Heb 11.8Then their God commanded them to leave the place where they were living and go to the land of Canaan. There they settled and grew very prosperous in gold and silver and very much livestock.
10Gen 42.5; Ex 1.7; Deut 26.5When a famine spread over the land of Canaan they went down to Egypt and lived there as long as they had food. There they became so great a multitude that their number could not be counted.
11Ex 1.8–14; 5.6, 7So the king of Egypt became hostile to them; he exploited them and forced them to make bricks, reducing them to slaves.
12Ex 7.1—10.29; 12.29–33; Ps 105.26–38They cried out to their God, and he afflicted the whole land of Egypt with incurable plagues. So the Egyptians drove them out of their sight.

15Num 21.25; Deut 20.16, 17; Josh 3.16, 17and took up residence in the land of the Amorites and by their might destroyed all the inhabitants of Heshbon, and crossing over the Jordan they took possession of all the hill country.

18Judg 2.11–15; 2 Kings 25.8–11But when they departed from the way he had prescribed for them, they were utterly defeated in many battles and were led away captive to a foreign land. The temple of their God was razed to the ground, and their towns were occupied by their enemies.
19Ezra 1.1–3; Jdt 4.3But now they have returned to their God and have come back from the places where they were scattered and have occupied Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and have settled in the hill country, because it was uninhabited.

21Lev 26.3, 7; Jdt 6.2; 11.10But if they are not a guilty nation, then let my lord pass them by, for their Lord and God will defend them, and we shall become the laughingstock of the whole world.”

24Jdt 10.12Therefore let us go ahead, Lord Holofernes, and your vast army will swallow them up.”
