since the LORD our God is the one who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, from a life of slavery. He did those great things right in front of us, preserving us along the way that we traveled and among all the nations through whose territory we passed.

“Then get rid of the foreign gods that are among you and offer your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
