Moses spake
unto
the children

had given
him in
commandment
unto
them ;

On
the
east
side
of
the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses
began to explain
this law, saying :
Beyond
the Jordan ,
in the land of Moab, began Moses
to declare
this law, saying ,
The
LORD
our God said
to
us at
Horeb :
“You
have stayed
at
this
mountain
long enough .
Jehovah
our God spake
unto
us in
Horeb ,
saying,
Ye
have dwelt
long enough in
this
mountain:
Resume
your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites ;
go
to
all the neighboring
peoples
in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills
, in the Negev
, and along
the seacoast
to
the land of the Canaanites and to
Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
turn
you,
and
take
your journey ,
and go to the hill -
country of the Amorites ,
and
unto
all `
the places'
nigh
thereunto,
in the Arabah, in the hill -
country, and
in the lowland
, and
in the South
, and by
the sea-shore,
the land of the Canaanites ,
and Lebanon, as far as the great river ,
the
river
Euphrates.
See
, I have placed
the land before you .
Enter
and possess the land that
the
LORD
swore
He
would
give
to
your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants
after them. ”
Behold
, I have set
the land before you :
go
in
and possess the land which
Jehovah
sware
unto
your fathers ,
to
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob, to
give
unto
them
and to their seed
after them.
At that time I
said
to
you
, “
I cannot
carry
the
burden
for
you alone .
And
I
spake
unto
you
at that time, saying,
I am
not
able
to
bear
you myself
alone :
The
LORD
your God has
multiplied you, so
that
today
you
are as
numerous
as the stars in
the
sky
.
Jehovah
your God hath
multiplied you, and,
behold,
ye
are this
day
as the stars of
heaven
for
multitude
.
May
the
LORD
, the God of your fathers, increase
you a thousand times over
and bless you as He has
promised .
Jehovah
, the God of your fathers, make
you a thousand times as
many
as
ye
are,
and bless you ,
as he hath
promised you!
But
how can I bear your troubles
, burdens
, and disputes
all
by
myself
?
How can I myself
alone
bear your cumbrance
, and
your
burden
, and your
strife
?
Choose
for
yourselves
wise, understanding, and respected
men
from
each
of
your tribes, and I will appoint
them as
your
leaders
. ”
Take
you
wise men
, and
understanding, and known,
according
to
your tribes, and I will make
them heads
over
you
.
And you
answered me and said, “What
you
propose
to
do
is good. ”
And ye
answered me ,
and said, The
thing
which
thou
hast
spoken
is good `for
us'
to
do
.
So I took the leaders
of your tribes, wise and
respected
men, and appointed
them as
leaders
over you —as
commanders
of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as
officers for
your tribes.
So I took the heads
of your tribes, wise men, and known,
and
made
them heads
over you ,
captains
of thousands, and
captains
of hundreds, and
captains
of fifties, and captains
of tens, and officers ,
according
to
your tribes.
At
that
time
I charged your judges :
“
Hear the disputes
between your brothers
, and judge fairly
between a man and his brother or
a
foreign
resident
.
And
I charged your judges at
that
time,
saying,
Hear `
the causes'
between your brethren
, and judge righteously
between a man and his brother ,
and
the
sojourner
that
is
with
him
.
Show
no
partiality
in judging
; hear both
small and great alike .
Do
not be intimidated
by
anyone,
for judgment belongs
to
God.
And bring
to
me
any
case
too difficult
for you, and I will hear it. ”
Ye
shall
not
respect
persons
in judgment
; ye
shall
hear the
small and the
great alike ;
ye
shall
not be afraid
of
the
face
of
man;
for the
judgment is
God's:
and the
cause
that
is
too hard
for you ye
shall
bring
unto
me
, and I will hear it.
And at
that
time
I commanded you all the things you
were
to
do.
And I commanded you at
that
time
all the things which
ye
should
do.
And just
as
the
LORD
our
God
had
commanded
us,
we set
out
from Horeb and went toward
the hill country of the Amorites, through
all
the
vast
and terrifying
wilderness
you
have
seen.
When
we reached
Kadesh-barnea ,
And we journeyed
from Horeb ,
and went through
all
that
great
and
terrible
wilderness
which
ye
saw,
by
the way
to
the
hill -
country of the Amorites, as
Jehovah
our
God
commanded
us;
and we came
to
Kadesh-barnea .
I said :
“
You have
reached
the hill country of the Amorites, which the
LORD
our God is
giving
us.
And
I said unto
you ,
Ye
are
come
unto
the hill -
country of the Amorites, which Jehovah
our God giveth
unto
us.
See
, the
LORD
your
God has
placed
the land before you.
Go up and
take possession of
it
as the
LORD
, the God of your
fathers, has
told
you.
Do
not be afraid
or
discouraged
. ”
Behold
, Jehovah
thy
God hath
set
the land before thee:
go up ,
take possession ,
as Jehovah
, the God of thy
fathers, hath
spoken
unto
thee;
fear
not ,
neither
be dismayed
.
Then
all
of you approached
me
and said, “
Let us send men ahead
of
us to
search out
the land and bring us word of what
route
to
follow
and
which cities to
enter
. ”
And
ye
came
near
unto
me
every
one
of you ,
and said, Let us send men before
us ,
that
they
may
search the land for
us,
and bring us word again
of the
way
by
which we
must
go
up,
and
the
cities unto
which
we
shall
come
.
The plan
seemed
good
to
me ,
so
I selected
twelve men from
among
you, one from
each
tribe .
And
the thing
pleased
me well;
and
I took
twelve men of
you, one man
for
every
tribe :
They left
and went up into the hill country, and came to
the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the
land
.
and
they turned
and went up into the hill -
country, and came unto
the valley of Eshcol ,
and spied it
out.
They took some
of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried
it down to
us, and brought us word :
“
It is a good land that
the
LORD
our God is
giving
us. ”
And
they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
brought
it down unto
us, and brought us word again,
and
said,
It is a good land which
Jehovah
our God giveth
unto
us.
But
you
were
unwilling
to
go up ;
you
rebelled against the command
of the
LORD
your God .
Yet
ye
would
not
go up ,
but
rebelled against the commandment
of Jehovah
your God :
You
grumbled
in your tents and said, “
Because the
LORD
hates
us, He has
brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be
annihilated
.
and
ye
murmured
in your tents ,
and said, Because Jehovah
hated
us, he hath
brought us forth
out of the land of Egypt ,
to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy
us
.
Where
can
we go
? Our brothers
have made our hearts
melt, saying :
‘
The people are larger
and taller than we are
; the cities are large,
with
walls
up to the
heavens.
We even
saw
the descendants
of the Anakim there. ’”
Whither
are
we going
up
? our brethren
have made our heart
to
melt, saying ,
The people are greater
and taller than we; the cities are great
and
fortified
up to heaven;
and
moreover
we have
seen
the sons
of the Anakim there.
So
I said to
you :
“Do
not be terrified
or
afraid of them !
Then
I said unto
you ,
Dread
not ,
neither
be afraid of them .
The
LORD
your God ,
who goes
before you, will fight for you, just
as
you
saw
Him
do
for you in Egypt
Jehovah
your God who goeth
before you, he
will fight for you, according
to
all
that
he
did
for you in Egypt before
your
eyes,
and in the wilderness, where the
LORD
your
God carried
you
, as a man carries
his son, all the way by
which
you
traveled
until you
reached
this place. ”
and in the wilderness, where thou
hast
seen
how
that
Jehovah
thy
God bare
thee
, as a man doth
bear
his son, in
all the way that
ye
went,
until ye
came
unto
this place.
But
in spite
of
all
this ,
you
did not trust
the
LORD
your God,
Yet
in this thing
ye
did not believe
Jehovah
your God,
who went before you on
the
journey,
in the fire
by
night
and
in
the
cloud
by
day
, to seek out a place for
you
to camp
and
to show you the road
to
travel
.
who went before you in the way
, to seek you
out a place to pitch
your
tents
in,
in
fire
by
night,
to show you by
what
way
ye
should
go,
and
in
the cloud
by
day
.
When
the
LORD
heard your words, He
grew
angry
and swore
an
oath
, saying,
And
Jehovah
heard the
voice
of
your words, and was
wroth
, and
sware,
saying,
“
Not one of the
men of this evil generation shall
see the good land I swore
to give your fathers,
Surely
there
shall
not one of these
men of this evil generation see the good land ,
which
I sware
to give unto
your fathers,
except
Caleb son of Jephunneh .
He will
see it ,
and I
will give him
and
his
descendants
the land on
which
he has
set
foot
, because he followed the
LORD
wholeheartedly
. ”
save
Caleb the
son of Jephunneh :
he shall
see it ;
and to
him
will I
give the land that
he hath
trodden
upon
, and
to
his
children,
because he hath
wholly
followed Jehovah
.
The
LORD
was
also angry with me on
your account
, and
He
said
, “
Not even
you
shall
enter
the
land.
Also Jehovah
was
angry with me for
your sakes
, saying
, Thou
also
shalt
not go
in
thither:
Joshua son of Nun, who stands
before you
, will
enter
it.
Encourage him ,
for he will
enable
Israel to inherit the
land
.
Joshua the
son of Nun, who standeth
before thee
, he
shall
go
in
thither:
encourage thou
him ;
for he shall
cause
Israel to inherit it
.
And
the
little ones you
said would
become
captives—
your children who
on
that day did
not
know
good from
evil —
will enter
the
land
that
I will
give them
, and they will
possess it.
Moreover
your
little ones ,
that
ye
said should
be
a
prey,
and
your children ,
that this
day have
no
knowledge
of
good or
evil ,
they
shall
go
in
thither,
and
unto
them
will I give it
, and they shall
possess it.
But you are
to
turn back
and head
for
the wilderness along
the route
to the Red Sea. ”
But as
for
you ,
turn you,
and take
your
journey
into
the wilderness by
the way
to the Red Sea.
“
We have sinned against the
LORD
, ”
you
replied.
“
We will go up and fight, as
the
LORD
our God has
commanded us. ”
Then
each
of
you
put
on his weapons of war, thinking
it
easy
to go up into the hill country.
Then
ye
answered
and
said
unto
me,
We have sinned against Jehovah
, we will go up and fight, according
to
all
that
Jehovah
our God commanded us. And
ye
girded
on every
man
his weapons of war, and
were
forward
to go up into the hill -
country.
But
the
LORD
said to
me, “Tell
them not
to
go up and
fight
, for I am not with
you
to
keep
you from
defeat
by
your enemies. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Say
unto
them ,
Go not
up, neither
fight;
for I am not among
you ;
lest
ye
be
smitten
before
your enemies.
So I spoke
to
you, but
you
would
not listen.
You
rebelled against the command
of the
LORD
and presumptuously
went up into the hill country.
So I spake
unto
you, and
ye
hearkened
not ;
but
ye
rebelled against the commandment
of Jehovah,
and were
presumptuous,
and
went up into the hill -
country.
Then
the Amorites who
lived
in the
hills
came out against you and chased you like
a
swarm
of
bees .
They
routed
you from
Seir all
the
way
to
Hormah.
And
the Amorites ,
that
dwelt
in that
hill-country,
came out against you ,
and chased you ,
as
bees do,
and
beat
you down
in
Seir ,
even
unto
Hormah.
And you
returned and wept before the
LORD,
but He
would
not listen
to your voice or
give
ear to
you.
And ye
returned and wept before Jehovah;
but Jehovah
hearkened
not to your voice ,
nor
gave
ear unto
you.
For
this
reason
you
stayed
in Kadesh for
a
long
time—a
very
long
time
.
So
ye
abode
in Kadesh many
days,
according
unto
the
days
that
ye
abode
`there'
.
