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, hath
Moses begun
to explain this law, saying:
The
LORD
our God said
to
us at
Horeb :
“
You have
stayed
at
this mountain
long
enough.
`Jehovah
our God hath
spoken
unto
us in
Horeb ,
saying,
Enough
to
you --
of
dwelling
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
ye
and
journey for
you,
and enter
the mount
of the Amorite,
and
unto
all its
neighbouring
places,
in the plain
, in the hill -
country, and
in the low
country
, and
in the south
, and in
the haven
of
the sea,
the
land of the Canaanite,
and of
Lebanon, unto
the great river ,
the
river
Phrat;
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. ”
see, I have set
before you the
land;
go
in
and possess the land which
Jehovah
hath
sworn
to your fathers ,
to
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob, to
give
to
them,
and to their seed
after them.
At that time I
said
to
you
, “
I cannot
carry
the
burden
for
you alone.
`And
I
speak
unto
you
at that time, saying,
I am
not
able
by
myself
to
bear
you ;
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
lo,
ye
`
are '
to-day
as the stars of
the heavens
for
multitude;
May
the
LORD
, the
God of your fathers, increase
you a thousand times over
and bless you as He has
promised
.
Jehovah
, God of your fathers, is
adding
to
you ,
as
ye
`are',
a thousand times ,
and doth
bless you as He hath
spoken
to
you
.
But
how can
I bear your troubles
, burdens
, and disputes
all
by
myself
?
`
How do
I bear by
myself
your pressure
, 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.”
Give
for yourselves men
, wise
and
intelligent
, and known
to
your tribes, and I set
them for
your heads;
And you
answered
me and said
, “What
you
propose
to do is
good
. ”
and ye
answer
me and say
, Good
`is'
the
thing
which
thou
hast
spoken
--
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.
`And
I take
the heads
of your tribes, men,
wise and known
, and I
appoint
them heads
over you ,
princes
of thousands, and
princes
of hundreds, and
princes
of fifties, and princes
of tens, and authorities,
for 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 command
your judges at
that
time,
saying,
Hearkening
between your brethren
--
then
ye
have
judged
righteousness
between a man ,
and his brother ,
and
his
sojourner;
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
do
not
discern
faces
in judgment
; as
the
little
so
the
great ye
do hear;
ye
are
not afraid
of
the
face
of
any
, for the
judgment is
God's,
and the
thing
which
is
too hard
for you, ye
bring
near
unto
me,
and I have
heard
it ;
And at that time I
commanded
you
all the things you
were
to
do.
and I
command
you,
at that time ,
all the things which
ye
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 journey
from Horeb ,
and go
`through'
all
that
great
and
fearful
wilderness
which
ye
have
seen
--
the way
of
the
hill -
country of the Amorite
, as
Jehovah
our
God
hath
commanded
us,
and we come
in
unto
Kadesh-Barnea .
I said:
“
You have reached
the hill country of the Amorites
, which the
LORD
our God is giving us .
`And
I say
unto
you ,
Ye
have come
in
unto
the hill -
country of the Amorite
, which Jehovah
our God is giving to
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
. ”
see, Jehovah
thy
God hath
set
before
thee
the land ;
go up ,
possess,
as Jehovah
, God of thy
fathers, hath
spoken
to
thee;
fear
not ,
nor
be affrighted
.
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
come
near
unto
me,
all of you ,
and say
, Let us send men before
us ,
and
they
search for
us
the land ,
and they
bring us back
word `concerning'
the
way
in
which we
go
up
into
it,
and
the
cities unto
which
we
come
in;
The plan
seemed
good to
me
, so
I selected
twelve men from
among
you
, one from
each
tribe.
and
the thing
is
good in
mine
eyes
, and
I take
of
you
twelve men, one man
for
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 turn
and go
up to
the hill -
country, and come
in
unto
the valley of Eshcol ,
and spy
it,
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 take
with
their
hand
of the fruit of the land, and
bring
down unto
us, and bring
us back
word ,
and
say,
Good is
the land
which
Jehovah
our God is giving to
us.
But
you
were
unwilling
to go up ;
you
rebelled
against
the command
of the
LORD
your God .
`And
ye
have
not
been
willing
to go up ,
and
ye
provoke
the mouth
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
murmur
in your tents ,
and say
, In
Jehovah's
hating
us He hath
brought us out of the land of Egypt ,
to give
us into the hand of the Amorite
--
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 melted
our heart
, saying ,
A
people greater
and taller than we, cities
great
and
fenced
to heaven,
and
also
sons
of Anakim --
we
have
seen
there.
So
I said
to
you :
“Do
not
be terrified or
afraid of them !
`And
I say
unto
you ,
Be not
terrified ,
nor
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 is
going
before you --
He
doth
fight for you, according
to
all
that
He
hath
done
with
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
that
Jehovah
thy
God hath
borne
thee
as a man beareth
his son, in
all the way which ye
have
gone,
till
your
coming
in
unto
this place.
But
in spite
of
all
this ,
you
did
not trust
the
LORD
your God,
`And
in this thing
ye
are
not stedfast
in
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 is
going
before you in
the way
to
search
out
to
you
a
place
for
your
encamping
, in fire by night ,
to
shew
you
in the way
in
which
ye
go,
and
in
a
cloud by day.
When
the LORD
heard
your words, He
grew
angry
and swore
an
oath
, saying,
`And
Jehovah
heareth
the voice
of
your words, and is
wroth
, and
sweareth,
saying,
“
Not one of the
men of this evil generation shall
see the good land I swore
to give your fathers,
Not one of these
men of this evil generation doth
see the good land which
I have
sworn
to give to
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 son of Jephunneh --
he doth
see it, and to
him
I give the land on which he hath
trodden
, and
to
his
sons,
because that
he hath
been
fully
after
Jehovah
.
The
LORD
was
also angry
with me on
your account
, and
He
said
, “
Not even
you
shall
enter
the
land.
`
Also with me hath
Jehovah
been
angry
for
your sake
, saying
, Also,
thou
dost
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 son of Nun, who is
standing
before thee
, he
goeth
in
thither;
him strengthen
thou;
for he doth
cause
Israel to inherit.
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 .
`
And your
infants,
of
whom
ye
have
said ,
For
a
prey
they
are,
and
your sons
who have
not known
to-day
good and
evil ,
they
go
in
thither,
and
to
them
I give it
, and they possess it ;
But
you
are
to
turn
back
and head
for the wilderness along
the route
to
the Red Sea. ”
and ye,
turn
for yourselves,
and
journey
toward
the wilderness ,
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 .
`And
ye
answer
and
say
unto
me,
We have sinned against Jehovah;
we --
we
go up ,
and we
have
fought
, according
to
all
that
which
Jehovah
our God hath
commanded us ;
and
ye
gird
on each
his weapons of war, and
ye
are
ready
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
saith
unto
me, Say
to
them ,
Ye
do
not go up ,
nor
fight, for I am not in
your midst,
and
ye
are
not
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 .
`And
I speak
unto
you, and
ye
have
not hearkened,
and
provoke
the mouth
of Jehovah,
and act
proudly,
and
go
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 Amorite
who is
dwelling
in that
hill-country
cometh
out to
meet
you ,
and they
pursue
you as
the
bees do,
and
smite
you in
Seir --
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
turn
back
and weep
before Jehovah
, and
Jehovah
hath
not hearkened
to your voice ,
nor
hath
he
given
ear unto
you ;
For
this
reason
you
stayed
in Kadesh for
a
long
time—a
very
long
time
.
and
ye
dwell
in Kadesh many
days,
according
to
the
days
which
ye
had
dwelt
.
