King James Version
Hear, O Israel: Today
you
are
about
to cross
the
Jordan to go in and
dispossess
nations greater and stronger
than you
, with
large
cities fortified
to the
heavens.
Hear, O Israel: Thou
art
to pass
over
Jordan this
day,
to go in to
possess
nations greater and mightier
than thyself
, cities great
and
fenced
up
to heaven,
The
people are
strong
and tall, the descendants
of the Anakim.
You
know
about
them
, and you
have
heard it
said
, “
Who can stand up
to
the sons
of Anak ?”
A
people great
and tall, the children
of the Anakims
, whom
thou
knowest,
and of
whom
thou
hast
heard say
, Who can stand before
the children
of Anak !
But
understand that today
the LORD your
God goes
across
ahead
of
you
as a consuming fire ;
He will
destroy them and subdue
them before you.
And
you
will
drive them out and annihilate
them swiftly
, as the LORD has
promised
you
.
Understand therefore
this
day,
that the LORD thy
God is
he
which
goeth
over
before
thee;
as a consuming fire he shall
destroy them ,
and he
shall
bring
them down
before thy
face:
so
shalt
thou
drive them out ,
and destroy
them quickly
, as the LORD hath
said
unto
thee
.
When
the LORD your
God has
driven
them out before you
, do
not
say
in
your
heart
, “Because
of
my righteousness the LORD has
brought me in to possess this land .”
Rather,
the LORD
is
driving
out
these nations before you
because
of
their
wickedness
.
Speak
not
thou
in
thine
heart,
after
that
the LORD thy
God hath
cast
them out from
before thee
, saying
, For
my righteousness the LORD hath
brought me in to possess this land :
but
for
the wickedness
of
these nations the
LORD
doth
drive
them
out
from
before thee
.
It
is
not because
of
your
righteousness or uprightness of heart that
you
are
going
in
to possess their land ,
but it
is
because
of
their
wickedness that
the LORD your
God is
driving
out these
nations
before you
, to
keep
the
promise
He swore
to
your
fathers, to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Not for
thy
righteousness ,
or for
the
uprightness of thine
heart ,
dost
thou
go
to possess their land :
but for
the
wickedness of
these
nations
the LORD thy
God doth
drive
them
out from
before thee
, and
that
he may
perform
the
word
which
the
LORD
sware
unto
thy
fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Understand ,
then
, that it
is
not
because
of
your
righteousness
that
the LORD your
God is
giving
you
this good land to possess ,
for you
are
a stiff-necked
people.
Understand therefore
, that the LORD thy
God giveth
thee
not
this good land to possess it
for thy
righteousness;
for
thou
art
a stiffnecked
people.
Remember this
, and never
forget how you
provoked
the LORD your
God in the wilderness .
From the day you
left
the land of Egypt until you
reached
this place, you
have been rebelling
against the LORD.
Remember, and forget not,
how thou
provokedst
the LORD thy
God to
wrath
in the wilderness :
from the day that
thou
didst
depart
out
of
the land of Egypt ,
until ye
came
unto
this place, ye
have been rebellious
against the LORD.
At
Horeb you
provoked the LORD, and
He
was angry enough
to destroy
you.
Also
in
Horeb ye
provoked the LORD to
wrath
, so
that
the
LORD
was angry with
you
to have
destroyed
you.
When I went
up on
the mountain
to receive the tablets
of stone, the tablets
of the covenant that
the LORD made with you, I stayed
on
the mountain
forty days and forty nights .
I ate
no
bread and
drank
no
water .
When I was
gone
up into
the mount
to receive the tables
of stone, even
the tables
of the covenant which
the LORD made with you, then
I abode
in
the mount
forty days and forty nights ,
I neither
did
eat
bread nor
drink
water :
Then
the LORD gave
me the
two stone tablets,
inscribed
by
the finger of God with
the exact
words that
the LORD spoke
to
you out of the fire
on
the mountain
on
the day of the assembly.
And
the LORD delivered
unto
me two tables
of
stone written
with
the finger of God ;
and
on
them
was
written
according
to
all
the words ,
which
the LORD spake
with
you in
the
mount
out of the midst
of
the fire
in
the day of the assembly.
And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets
, the tablets
of the covenant.
And it
came
to
pass
at the end of forty days and forty nights, that
the LORD gave me the two tables
of
stone, even
the tables
of the covenant.
And the LORD said to
me, “
Get up
and
go
down from here
at
once,
for your
people ,
whom
you
brought out of Egypt ,
have corrupted themselves .
How
quickly
they have
turned aside from
the way that
I commanded them !
They have made for
themselves
a molten image. ”
And the LORD said unto
me, Arise,
get thee
down quickly
from hence;
for thy
people which
thou
hast
brought forth
out of Egypt have corrupted themselves ;
they are
quickly
turned aside out
of
the way which
I commanded them ;
they have made them
a molten image.
The LORD also
said
to
me, “
I have seen this people, and they
are
indeed
a stiff-necked
people .
Furthermore
the LORD spake
unto
me, saying,
I have seen this people, and ,
behold,
it
is
a stiffnecked
people :
Leave
Me alone, so
that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven .
Then
I will make you
into
a nation mightier and greater than they are
. ”
Let
me alone, that I may destroy them ,
and blot out their name from under heaven :
and
I will make of
thee
a nation mightier and greater than they.
So I went
back
down the mountain
while
it
was
blazing
with
fire
, with the two tablets
of the covenant in my hands.
So I turned
and
came
down from
the mount
, and
the
mount
burned
with fire:
and
the two tables
of the covenant were
in my two
hands.
And I saw
how
you
had sinned against the LORD your God ;
you
had made for
yourselves
a molten calf .
You
had turned aside quickly from
the way that
the LORD had commanded you.
And I looked,
and,
behold,
ye
had sinned against the LORD your God ,
and
had made you
a molten calf :
ye
had turned aside quickly out
of
the way which
the LORD had commanded you.
So
I took the two tablets
and threw
them out of my hands, shattering
them before your eyes.
And
I took the two tables,
and cast
them out of my two
hands, and
brake
them before your eyes.
Then
I fell down before the LORD for
forty days and forty nights ,
as
I
had
done
the
first
time.
I did not
eat bread or
drink water because of all the
sin
you
had
committed
in doing what
was
evil
in the sight of the LORD and
provoking
Him to anger.
And
I fell down before the LORD ,
as
at
the
first,
forty days and forty nights :
I did neither
eat bread ,
nor
drink water ,
because of all your
sins
which
ye
sinned,
in doing wickedly
in the sight of the LORD ,
to
provoke
him to anger.
For I was afraid of the anger and wrath
that
the LORD had
directed
against you ,
enough
to destroy you. But the LORD listened
to
me this
time as
well
.
For I was afraid of the anger and hot
displeasure,
wherewith
the LORD was
wroth
against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened
unto
me at
that
time also
.
The LORD was angry enough
with Aaron to destroy
him ,
but
at
that
time
I also
prayed for Aaron.
And
the LORD was very
angry with Aaron to have
destroyed
him :
and
I prayed for Aaron also
the
same
time
.
And I took that
sinful
thing
, the calf you
had made, and burned
it in
the
fire .
Then
I
crushed
it and ground it to
powder
as fine
as dust ,
and I cast it
into the stream
that came
down
from
the mountain
.
And I took your
sin
, the calf which
ye
had made, and burnt
it with
fire ,
and
stamped
it ,
and ground it very
small,
even
until
it
was
as small
as dust :
and I cast the
dust
thereof
into the brook
that descended
out
of
the mount
.
You
continued
to
provoke
the
LORD
at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah
.
And
at Taberah, and
at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah,
ye
provoked
the
LORD
to
wrath
.
And
when the LORD sent you out
from Kadesh-barnea
, He
said
, “
Go up and possess the land that
I have given you .”
But
you
rebelled against the command
of the LORD your God .
You
neither
believed Him nor obeyed
Him
.
Likewise
when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea
, saying
, Go up and possess the land which
I have given you ;
then
ye
rebelled against the commandment
of the LORD your God ,
and
ye
believed him not,
nor hearkened
to
his
voice
.
You
have been rebelling
against the LORD since
the day I came
to
know
you.
Ye
have been rebellious
against the LORD from
the day that
I knew
you.
So
I fell down before the LORD for
forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
Thus
I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as
I
fell
down
at
the
first;
because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
And
I prayed to
the LORD and said, “
O Lord GOD, do
not
destroy Your
people ,
Your
inheritance, whom
You
redeemed through Your
greatness and
brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
I prayed therefore
unto
the LORD ,
and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not
thy
people and
thine
inheritance, which
thou
hast
redeemed through thy
greatness ,
which
thou
hast
brought forth
out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Remember Your
servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob .
Overlook
the stubbornness of this people and
the
wickedness of
their sin .
Remember thy
servants ,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ;
look
not
unto
the stubbornness of this people ,
nor
to
their
wickedness ,
nor
to
their sin :
Otherwise,
those
in
the land from
which
You
brought
us out will
say, ‘
Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had
promised them, and because He hated them, He has
brought them out to kill
them in the wilderness. ’
Lest
the land whence
thou
broughtest
us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which
he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath
brought them out to slay
them in the wilderness.
But
they are Your
people ,
Your
inheritance, whom
You
brought
out by Your
great
power and outstretched
arm. ”
Yet
they are thy
people and
thine
inheritance, which
thou
broughtest
out by thy
mighty
power and by
thy
stretched
out
arm.
