Beyond
the Jordan ,
in the land of Moab, began
Moses to declare
this law, saying ,
On
the east
side
of
the
Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began
to explain
this law, saying :
Yahweh
our God spoke
to us in
Horeb ,
saying,
You have lived
long
enough
in
this mountain :
The
LORD
our God said
to us at
Horeb :
“
You have stayed
at
this mountain long
enough.
turn
you,
and
take
your journey ,
and go to the hill -
country of the Amorites ,
and
to all [
the places]
near
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.
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.
Behold
, I have set
the land before you :
go
in
and possess the land which
Yahweh
swore to your fathers ,
to
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob, to
give
to
them
and to their seed
after them.
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. ”
I
spoke
to
you
at that time ,
saying,
I am
not
able
to bear
you myself
alone :
At that time I said
to you ,
“I
cannot
carry
the
burden
for
you
alone .
Yahweh
your God has multiplied you, and,
behold,
you are this
day
as the stars of
the sky for
multitude
.
The
LORD
your God has multiplied you, so
that
today
you are as numerous
as
the stars in
the sky.
Yahweh
, the God of your fathers, make
you a thousand times as
many
as
you
are,
and bless you ,
as he has promised you!
May
the
LORD
, the God of your fathers, increase
you a thousand times over
and bless you as He has promised .
How can I myself
alone
bear your encumbrance
, and
your
burden
, and your
strife
?
But
how can I bear your troubles
, burdens
, and disputes
all
by
myself
?
Take
wise men
of
understanding and well
known
according
to
your tribes, and I will make
them heads
over
you
.
Choose
for
yourselves
wise ,
understanding ,
and respected
men
from
each
of
your tribes, and I will appoint
them as
your
leaders
. ”
You answered me ,
and said, The
thing
which
you have
spoken
is
good
[for
us]
to do.
And
you answered me and said, “What
you propose
to do is
good
. ”
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.
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.
I charged your judges at
that
time,
saying,
Hear [
the causes]
between your brothers, and judge righteously
between a man and his brother ,
and
the
foreigner
who
is
living
with
him
.
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
.
You
shall
not
show partiality in judgment
; you
shall
hear the
small and the
great alike ;
you
shall
not be afraid
of
the
face
of
man;
for the
judgment is
God's:
and the
cause
that
is
too
hard
for
you,
you
shall
bring to me, and I will hear it.
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. ”
I
commanded
you
at that time all the things which
you should
do.
And
at that time I
commanded
you
all the things you were
to
do.
We traveled
from Horeb ,
and went through
all
that
great
and
terrible
wilderness
which
you
saw,
by
the
way
to
the hill -
country of the Amorites, as
Yahweh
our
God
commanded
us;
and we came
to
Kadesh-barnea .
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 ,
I said to
you,
You are
come
to
the hill -
country of the Amorites, which Yahweh
our God gives
to
us.
I said :
“
You have
reached
the hill country of the Amorites, which the
LORD
our God is
giving
us.
Behold
, Yahweh
your God has set
the land before you :
go up ,
take possession ,
as Yahweh
, the God of your fathers, has spoken
to
you ;
don't
be afraid ,
neither
be
dismayed
.
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
. ”
You
came
near
to
me
everyone
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 to which
we
shall
come
.
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
. ”
The thing
pleased
me well;
and
I took
twelve men of
you, one man
for
every
tribe :
The plan
seemed
good
to
me ,
so
I selected
twelve men from
among
you, one from
each
tribe .
and
they turned
and went up into the hill -
country, and came to the valley of Eshcol ,
and spied it
out.
They left
and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the
land
.
They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
brought
it down to us, and brought us word again,
and
said,
It is a good land which
Yahweh
our God gives
to
us.
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. ”
Yet
you wouldn't
go up ,
but
rebelled against the commandment
of Yahweh
your God :
But
you were
unwilling
to
go up ;
you
rebelled against the command
of the
LORD
your God .
and
you murmured
in your tents ,
and said, Because Yahweh
hated
us, he has brought us forth
out of the land of Egypt ,
to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy
us
.
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
.
Where are
we going
up
? our brothers have made our heart
to
melt, saying ,
The people are greater
and taller than we; the cities are great
and
fortified
up to the sky;
and
moreover
we have
seen
the sons
of the Anakim there.
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. ’”
Then
I said to you ,
Don't
dread,
neither
be afraid of them .
So
I said to you :
“Do
not
be terrified
or
afraid of them !
Yahweh
your God who goes before you, he
will fight for you, according
to
all
that
he
did
for you in Egypt before
your
eyes,
The
LORD
your God ,
who goes before you, will fight for you, just
as
you
saw
Him
do
for you in Egypt
and in the wilderness, where you
have
seen
how
that
Yahweh
your God bore
you, as a man does
bear
his son, in
all the way that
you went,
until you came
to
this place.
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. ”
Yet
in this thing
you didn't
believe
Yahweh
your God,
But
in spite
of
all
this ,
you did
not
trust
the
LORD
your God,
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
you
should
go,
and
in
the cloud
by
day
.
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
.
Yahweh
heard
the voice
of
your words, and
was
angry ,
and swore, saying,
When
the LORD
heard
your words, He
grew
angry and swore an
oath
, saying,
Surely
there
shall
not one of these
men of this evil generation see the good land ,
which
I swore to give to
your fathers,
“
Not one of the
men of this evil generation shall
see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
save
Caleb the
son of Jephunneh :
he shall
see it ;
and to
him
will
I give the land that
he has trodden
on,
and
to
his
children
, because he has
wholly
followed Yahweh
.
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
. ”
Also
Yahweh
was angry with me for
your sakes
, saying
, You also
shall not
go
in
there:
The
LORD
was also
angry with me on
your account
, and
He
said
, “Not
even
you shall enter
the
land.
Joshua the
son of Nun, who stands before you, he
shall
go
in
there:
encourage you
him ;
for he shall
cause
Israel to inherit it
.
Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will
enter
it.
Encourage him ,
for he will
enable
Israel to inherit the
land
.
Moreover
your
little ones ,
whom
you said should
be
a
prey,
and
your children ,
who this
day have
no
knowledge
of
good or
evil ,
they
shall
go
in
there,
and
to
them
will I give it
, and they shall
possess 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.
But as
for
you ,
turn you,
and take
your
journey
into
the wilderness by
the way
to the Red Sea.
But you are
to
turn back
and head
for
the wilderness along
the route
to the Red Sea. ”
Then
you
answered
and
said
to
me,
We have sinned against Yahweh
, we will go up and fight, according
to
all
that
Yahweh
our God commanded us. You girded
on every
man
his weapons of war, and
were
forward
to go up into the hill -
country.
“
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.
Yahweh
said to me, Tell them ,
Don't
go up ,
neither
fight ;
for I am not among
you ;
lest
you be
struck
before
your enemies.
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. ”
So I spoke to you, and
you didn't
listen ;
but
you rebelled against the commandment
of Yahweh,
and
were
presumptuous,
and went up into the hill -
country.
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.
The Amorites ,
who lived in that
hill-country,
came out against you ,
and chased you ,
as
bees do,
and
beat
you down
in
Seir ,
even
to Hormah.
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.
You returned and wept before Yahweh;
but Yahweh
didn't
listen to your voice ,
nor
gave
ear to you.
And
you returned and wept before the
LORD,
but He
would
not
listen to your voice or
give
ear to you.
So
you abode
in Kadesh many
days,
according
to
the
days
that
you
abode
[there]
.
For
this
reason
you stayed
in Kadesh for
a
long
time—a
very
long
time
.
