And the Lord delivered. Wherefore, forasmuch as Israel by the right of war succeeded Sihon, that land which thou desirest, is not thine, but in the old time pertained unto Sihon the king. Therefore when we occupied this land, thou diddest not possess it, but the Amorites.
And the Lord delyuered. Wherfore, forasmuch as Israel by the ryght of war succeded Sihon, that land which thou desirest, is not thine, but in the olde tyme pertained vnto Sihon the king. Therfore when we occupied this land, thou diddest not possesse it, but the Amorhites.
Neither do we possess this land by the right of war only,1 but also by the gift of God: for the Lord our God, which is Lord of all kingdoms, hath given it to us, and delivered it into our power.

This is the second reason that Iiptah vseth: for by the first he onelye sheweth that those places came vnto him by the right of warre, without any wrong doing. But some man might say:
