King James Version
These are
the words that
Moses spoke
to
all Israel in the wilderness east
of
the
Jordan—
in the Arabah
opposite
Suph—
between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
These be
the words which
Moses spake
unto
all Israel on
this
side
Jordan
in the wilderness ,
in the plain
over
against
the
Red
sea,
between Paran ,
and Tophel, and
Laban, and
Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
It
is
an
eleven -day
journey from Horeb to
Kadesh-barnea
by way of Mount Seir.
(There
are
eleven days'
journey from Horeb by the
way of mount Seir unto
Kadeshbarnea
. )
In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh
month, Moses proclaimed
to
the Israelites
all that the LORD had commanded
him concerning
them .
And
it
came
to
pass
in the fortieth year, in
the
eleventh
month,
on the first day of the month, that
Moses spake
unto
the children
of
Israel,
according
unto
all that the LORD had given
him in
commandment
unto
them ;
This
was
after he had defeated
Sihon king of the Amorites, who
lived
in Heshbon, and then
at
Edrei
had
defeated
Og king of Bashan, who
lived
in Ashtaroth.
After he had slain
Sihon the
king of the Amorites, which
dwelt
in Heshbon, and Og the
king of Bashan, which
dwelt
at
Astaroth
in Edrei:
On the
east
side of
the
Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses
began to explain
this law, saying :
On this
side 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 .
The LORD our God spake
unto
us in
Horeb ,
saying,
Ye
have dwelt
long enough in
this
mount:
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 mount
of the Amorites ,
and
unto
all the places
nigh
thereunto,
in the plain
, in the hills
, and
in the vale
, and
in the south
, and by
the sea
side,
to the land of the Canaanites ,
and unto
Lebanon, unto
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
the LORD sware
unto
your fathers ,
Abraham, Isaac, and 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
.
The LORD 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 .
(
The LORD God of your fathers make
you a thousand times so
many
more
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
among
your tribes, and I will make
them rulers
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 chief
of your tribes, wise men, and known,
and
made
them heads
over you ,
captains
over
thousands, and
captains
over
hundreds, and
captains
over
fifties, and captains
over
tens, and officers among
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 every
man and his brother ,
and
the
stranger
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
; but
ye
shall
hear the
small as
well
as
the
great ;
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, bring
it
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 when
we departed
from Horeb ,
we
went through
all
that
great
and
terrible
wilderness,
which
ye
saw
by
the way
of the mountain
of
the
Amorites, as
the LORD
our
God
commanded
us;
and we came
to
Kadeshbarnea.
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 mountain
of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth
give
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
, the LORD thy
God hath
set
the land before thee:
go up and possess
it ,
as the LORD God of thy
fathers hath
said
unto
thee;
fear
not ,
neither
be discouraged.
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, We
will
send men before
us ,
and
they
shall
search us
out the land ,
and bring us word again
by
what way
we
must
go
up,
and into
what
cities we
shall
come
.
The plan
seemed
good
to
me ,
so
I selected
twelve men from
among
you, one from
each
tribe .
And
the saying
pleased
me well:
and
I took
twelve men of
you, one of
a
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 mountain
, and came unto
the valley of Eshcol ,
and searched
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
the LORD our God doth
give
us.
But
you
were
unwilling
to
go up ;
you
rebelled against the command
of the LORD your God .
Notwithstanding
ye
would
not
go up ,
but
rebelled against the commandment
of the LORD 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 the LORD 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
shall
we go up
? our brethren
have discouraged
our heart
, saying ,
The people is
greater
and taller than we; the cities are great
and
walled
up to heaven;
and
moreover
we have
seen
the sons
of the Anakims
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
The LORD your God which
goeth
before you, he
shall
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
the LORD thy
God bare
thee
, as a man doth
bear
his son, in
all the way that
ye
went,
until ye
came
into
this place.
But
in spite
of
all
this ,
you
did not trust
the LORD your God,
Yet
in this thing
ye
did not believe
the LORD 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 in
the
way
before you, to
search
you
out
a
place
to
pitch
your
tents
in ,
in
fire by night ,
to
show
you
by
what
way
ye
should
go,
and in a
cloud by day.
When
the LORD heard your words, He
grew
angry
and swore
an
oath
, saying,
And
the LORD 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 that
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 the LORD.
The LORD was also
angry with me on
your account
, and
He
said
, “
Not even
you
shall
enter
the
land
.
Also
the LORD 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
.
But
Joshua the
son of Nun, which
standeth
before thee
, he
shall
go
in
thither:
encourage 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 ,
which
ye
said should
be
a
prey,
and
your children ,
which
in
that day had
no
knowledge
between
good and
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
of
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 the LORD, we will go up and fight, according
to
all
that
the LORD our God commanded us. And
when
ye
had
girded
on every
man
his weapons of war, ye
were
ready
to go up into the hill.
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
the LORD 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
would not hear,
but
rebelled against the commandment
of the LORD ,
and went presumptuously
up into the hill.
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 ,
which
dwelt
in that
mountain,
came out against you ,
and chased you ,
as
bees do,
and
destroyed
you 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 the LORD ;
but the
LORD
would not hearken
to your voice ,
nor
give 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
.
