Young's Literal Translation
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, Israel ,
thou
art
passing
over
to -day
the Jordan ,
to go in to
possess
nations greater and mightier
than thyself;
cities great
and
fenced
in
the heavens ;
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, sons
of Anakim, whom
thou
--
thou
hast
known,
(
and thou
--
thou
hast
heard :
Who doth
station
himself
before
sons 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
.
and
thou
hast
known
to-day,
that Jehovah
thy
God `is'
He
who
is
passing
over
before
thee
--
a fire consuming
; He doth
destroy them ,
and He
doth
humble
them before thee,
and thou
hast
dispossessed
them ,
and destroyed
them hastily
, as Jehovah
hath
spoken
to
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.
`Thou
dost
not speak
in thy
heart (in
Jehovah
thy
God's
driving
them
away
from
before
thee)
, saying,
For
my righteousness hath
Jehovah
brought me in to possess this land, seeing
for
the wickedness
of
these nations is
Jehovah
dispossessing
them
from
thy
presence;
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 ,
and
for
the
uprightness of thy
heart ,
art
thou
going in to possess their land ;
but for
the wickedness
of
these nations is
Jehovah
thy
God
dispossessing
them
from
before thee;
and
in
order
to establish
the word
which
Jehovah
hath
sworn
to thy
fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
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.
and
thou
hast
known
, that not for
thy
righteousness is Jehovah
thy
God
giving to
thee
this good land to possess it
, for a people stiff
of
neck
thou
`art'
.
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 --
do
not
forget --
that
`with'
which
thou
hast
made
Jehovah
thy
God wroth
in the wilderness ;
even
from the day that
thou
hast
come
out
of
the land of Egypt till
your
coming
in
unto
this place rebels
ye
have been with
Jehovah;
At
Horeb you
provoked
the
LORD
, and He
was
angry enough
to destroy you.
even
in
Horeb ye
have
made
Jehovah
wroth
, and Jehovah
sheweth
Himself
angry against
you
--
to destroy 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 .
`In
my
going
up into
the mount
to receive the tables
of stone (tables
of the covenant which
Jehovah
hath
made with you )
, and
I abide
in
the mount
forty days and forty nights ;
bread I
have
not
eaten,
and water I
have
not
drunk;
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
Jehovah
giveth
unto
me the two tables
of
stone written
with
the finger of God ,
and
on
them
according
to
all
the words which
Jehovah
hath
spoken
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
cometh
to
pass,
at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah
hath
given
unto
me the two tables
of
stone --
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 Jehovah
saith
unto
me, Rise,
go down ,
hasten
from this
, for thy
people hath
done
corruptly
, whom thou
hast
brought out of Egypt ;
they have turned aside hastily
out
of
the way which
I have
commanded them --
they have made to
themselves a molten thing!
The
LORD
also
said
to
me, “
I have seen this people, and they
are
indeed
a stiff-necked
people .
`And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
me, saying,
I have seen this people, and lo,
a people stiff
of
neck
it
`is';
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
. ”
desist
from
Me, and
I destroy them ,
and blot out their name from under the
heavens,
and
I make thee
become
a nation more
mighty
and numerous
than it
.
So
I went
back
down the mountain
while
it
was
blazing
with fire, with
the two tablets
of the covenant in
my hands .
`And
I turn,
and
come
down from
the mount,
and
the
mount
is
burning
with fire, and
the two tables
of the covenant on
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 see,
and
lo,
ye
have
sinned against Jehovah
your God; ye
have
made to
yourselves a molten calf ;
ye
have
turned aside hastily
out
of
the way which
Jehovah
hath
commanded you.
So
I took
the two tablets
and threw
them out of my hands, shattering
them before your eyes .
`And
I lay
hold
on
the two tables,
and cast
them out of my two
hands, and
break
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 throw
myself
before Jehovah,
as
at
first,
forty days and forty nights ;
bread
I have
not eaten,
and
water I
have
not
drunk,
because of all your
sins
which
ye
have
sinned,
by
doing the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
to make
Him
angry
.
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 have
been
afraid because
of the anger and the fury
with
which
Jehovah
hath
been
wroth
against you, to destroy you ;
and
Jehovah
doth
hearken
unto
me also
at
this time.
The
LORD
was
angry
enough
with Aaron to destroy him, but
at
that
time
I also prayed
for Aaron .
`And
with Aaron hath
Jehovah
shewed
himself
very
angry,
to destroy him, and
I pray
also for Aaron at
that
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 your
sin
, which
ye
have
made
--
the calf --
I
have
taken
, and I burn
it with
fire,
and beat
it ,
grinding
well
till
that
it
`is'
small
as dust, and I cast its
dust
unto
the brook
which
is
going
down out
of
the mount
.
You
continued
to
provoke
the
LORD
at
Taberah, at
Massah, and at
Kibroth-hattaavah .
`And
in
Taberah, and
in
Massah, and in
Kibroth-Hattaavah ,
ye
have
been
making
Jehovah
wroth:
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.
and in
Jehovah's
sending
you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying
, Go up ,
and possess the land which
I have given to
you ,
then
ye
provoke
the mouth
of Jehovah
your God ,
and
have
not
given
credence
to
Him ,
nor hearkened
to
His
voice;
You
have been rebelling
against
the
LORD
since
the day I
came
to
know
you.
rebels
ye
have been with
Jehovah
from
the day of
my
knowing
you.
So
I fell
down
before the LORD
for
forty days and forty nights, because
the
LORD
had said He
would
destroy you .
`And
I throw
myself
before Jehovah,
the forty days and the
forty nights, as
I
had thrown
myself,
for
Jehovah
hath
said --
to
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 .
and I pray
unto
Jehovah,
and say
, Lord Jehovah
, destroy not
Thy
people, and
Thine
inheritance, whom Thou
hast
ransomed
in
Thy
greatness ;
whom
Thou
hast
brought out of Egypt with a strong
hand ;
Remember
Your
servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob .
Overlook
the stubbornness
of this people and the
wickedness of
their
sin .
be
mindful
of
Thy
servants ,
of
Abraham, of
Isaac, and of
Jacob ,
turn
not
unto
the stiffness
of this people ,
and unto
its
wickedness ,
and
unto
its
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 say
from which Thou
hast
brought us out, Because of
Jehovah's
want
of
ability
to bring them in
unto
the land of
which
He hath
spoken
to
them, and because of
His
hating
them, He brought them out to put
them to
death
in the wilderness ;
But
they are Your
people, Your
inheritance, whom You
brought out by Your
great power and outstretched
arm .”
and
they `
are '
Thy
people, and
Thine
inheritance, whom Thou
hast
brought out by Thy
great power ,
and by
Thy
stretched-out
arm !
