For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
For it was þe sentence of þe Lord, þat þe hertis of hem schulde be maad hard, and þat þei schulden fiyte ayens Israel, and schulden falle, and schulden not disserue ony mercy, and schulden perische, as þe Lord comaundide to Moises.
