1 These be the words 1697 which Moses 4872 spake 1696 unto all Israel 3478 on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 in the wilderness 4057, in the plain 6160 over against 4136 the Red 5489 sea, between Paran 6290, and Tophel 8603, and Laban 3837, and Hazeroth 2698, and Dizahab 1774.
2 (There are eleven 259 6240 days 3117' journey from Horeb 2722 by the way 1870 of mount 2022 Seir 8165 unto Kadeshbarnea 6947.)
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth 705 year 8141, in the eleventh 6249 6240 month 2320, on the first 259 day of the month 2320, that Moses 4872 spake 1696 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, according unto all that the LORD 3068 had given him in commandment 6680 unto them;
4 After 310 he had slain 5221 Sihon 5511 the king 4428 of the Amorites 567, which dwelt 3427 in Heshbon 2809, and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316, which dwelt 3427 at Astaroth 6252 in Edrei 154:
5 On this side 5676 Jordan 3383, in the land 776 of Moab 4124, began 2974 Moses 4872 to declare 874 this law 8451, saying 559,
6 The LORD 3068 our God 430 spake 1696 unto us in Horeb 2722, saying 559, Ye have dwelt 3427 long enough 7227 in this mount 2022:
7 Turn 6437 you, and take your journey 5265, and go 935 to the mount 2022 of the Amorites 567, and unto all the places nigh 7934 thereunto, in the plain 6160, in the hills 2022, and in the vale 8219, and in the south 5045, and by the sea 3220 side 2348, to the land 776 of the Canaanites 3669, and unto Lebanon 3844, unto the great 1419 river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578.
8 Behold 7200, I have set 5414 the land 776 before 6440 you: go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 which the LORD 3068 sware 7650 unto your fathers 1, Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, to give 5414 unto them and to their seed 2233 after 310 them.
9 And I spake 559 unto you at that time 6256, saying 559, I am not able 3201 to bear 5375 you myself alone 905:
10 The LORD 3068 your God 430 hath multiplied 7235 you, and, behold, ye are this day 3117 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064 for multitude 7230.
11 (The LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers 1 make you a thousand 505 times 6471 so many more as 3254 ye are, and bless 1288 you, as he hath promised 1696 you!)
12 How 349 can I myself alone bear 5375 your cumbrance 2960, and your burden 4853, and your strife 7379?
13 Take 3051 you wise 2450 men 582, and understanding 995, and known 3045 among your tribes 7626, and I will make 7760 them rulers 7218 over you.
14 And ye answered 6030 me, and said 559, The thing 1697 which thou hast spoken 1696 is good 2896 for us to do 6213.
15 So I took 3947 the chief 7218 of your tribes 7626, wise 2450 men 582, and known 3045, and made 5414 them heads 7218 over you, captains 8269 over thousands 505, and captains 8269 over hundreds 3967, and captains 8269 over fifties 2572, and captains 8269 over tens 6235, and officers 7860 among your tribes 7626.
16 And I charged 6680 your judges 8199 at that time 6256, saying 559, Hear 8085 the causes between your brethren 251, and judge 8199 righteously 6664 between every man 376 and his brother 251, and the stranger 1616 that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect 5234 persons 6440 in judgment 4941; but ye shall hear 8085 the small 6996 as well as the great 1419; ye shall not be afraid 1481 of the face 6440 of man 376; for the judgment 4941 is God's 430: and the cause 1697 that is too hard 7185 for you, bring 7126 it unto me, and I will hear 8085 it.
18 And I commanded 6680 you at that time 6256 all the things 1697 which ye should do 6213.
19 And when we departed 5265 from Horeb 2722, we went through 3212 all that great 1419 and terrible 3372 wilderness 4057, which ye saw 7200 by the way 1870 of the mountain 2022 of the Amorites 567, as the LORD 3068 our God 430 commanded 6680 us; and we came 935 to Kadeshbarnea 6947.
20 And I said 559 unto you, Ye are come 935 unto the mountain 2022 of the Amorites 567, which the LORD 3068 our God 430 doth give 5414 unto us.
21 Behold 7200, the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath set 5414 the land 776 before 6440 thee: go up 5927 and possess 3423 it, as the LORD 3068 God 430 of thy fathers 1 hath said 1696 unto thee; fear 3372 not, neither be discouraged 2865.
22 And ye came near 7126 unto me every one of you, and said 559, We will send 7971 men 582 before 6440 us, and they shall search us out 2658 the land 776, and bring 7725 0 us word 1697 again 7725 by what way 1870 we must go up 5927, and into what cities 5892 we shall come 935.
23 And the saying 1697 pleased me well 3190 5869: and I took 3947 twelve 8147 6240 men 582 of you, one 259 of a tribe 376 7626:
24 And they turned 6437 and went up 5927 into the mountain 2022, and came 935 unto the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812, and searched it out 7270.
25 And they took 3947 of the fruit 6529 of the land 776 in their hands 3027, and brought it down 3381 unto us, and brought 7725 0 us word 1697 again 7725, and said 559, It is a good 2896 land 776 which the LORD 3068 our God 430 doth give 5414 us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would 14 not go up 5927, but rebelled 4784 against the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068 your God 430:
27 And ye murmured 7279 in your tents 168, and said 559, Because the LORD 3068 hated 8135 us, he hath brought us forth 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, to deliver 5414 us into the hand 3027 of the Amorites 567, to destroy 8045 us.
28 Whither shall we go up 5927? our brethren 251 have discouraged 4549 our heart 3824, saying 559, The people 5971 is greater 1419 and taller 7311 than we; the cities 5892 are great 1419 and walled up 1219 to heaven 8064; and moreover we have seen 7200 the sons 1121 of the Anakims 6062 there.
29 Then I said 559 unto you, Dread 6206 not, neither be afraid 3372 of them.
30 The LORD 3068 your God 430 which goeth 1980 before 6440 you, he shall fight 3898 for you, according to all that he did 6213 for you in Egypt 4714 before your eyes 5869;
31 And in the wilderness 4057, where thou hast seen 7200 how that the LORD 3068 thy God 430 bare 5375 thee, as a man 376 doth bear 5375 his son 1121, in all the way 1870 that ye went 1980, until ye came 935 into this place 4725.
32 Yet in this thing 1697 ye did not believe 539 the LORD 3068 your God 430,
33 Who went 1980 in the way 1870 before 6440 you, to search you out 8446 a place 4725 to pitch your tents 2583 in, in fire 784 by night 3915, to shew 7200 you by what way 1870 ye should go 3212, and in a cloud 6051 by day 3119.
34 And the LORD 3068 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of your words 1697, and was wroth 7107, and sware 7650, saying 559,
35 Surely there shall not one 376 of these men 582 of this evil 7451 generation 1755 see 7200 that good 2896 land 776, which I sware 7650 to give 5414 unto your fathers 1,
36 Save 2108 Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312; he shall see 7200 it, and to him will I give 5414 the land 776 that 834 he hath trodden upon 1869, and to his children 1121, because he hath wholly 4390 followed 310 the LORD 3068.
37 Also the LORD 3068 was angry 599 with me for your sakes 1558, saying 559, Thou also shalt not go 935 in thither 8033.
38 But Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, which standeth 5975 before 6440 thee, he shall go in 935 thither: encourage 2388 him: for he shall cause Israel 3478 to inherit 5157 it.
39 Moreover your little ones 2945, which ye said 559 should be a prey 957, and your children 1121, which in that day 3117 had no knowledge 3045 between good 2896 and evil 7451, they shall go in 935 thither, and unto them will I give 5414 it, and they shall possess 3423 it.
40 But as for you, turn 6437 you, and take your journey 5265 into the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 of the Red 5488 sea 3220.
41 Then ye answered 6030 and said 559 unto me, We have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068, we will go up 5927 and fight 3898, according to all that the LORD 3068 our God 430 commanded 6680 us. And when ye had girded 2296 on every man 376 his weapons 3627 of war 4421, ye were ready 1951 to go up 5927 into the hill 2022.
42 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Say 559 unto them, Go not up 5927, neither fight 3898; for I am not among 7130 you; lest ye be smitten 5062 before 6440 your enemies 341.
43 So I spake 1696 unto you; and ye would not hear 8085, but rebelled 4784 against the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068, and went 5927 0 presumptuously 2102 up 5927 into the hill 2022.
44 And the Amorites 567, which dwelt 3427 in that mountain 2022, came out 3318 against 7125 you, and chased 7291 you, as bees 1682 do 6213, and destroyed 3807 you in Seir 8165, even unto Hormah 2767.
45 And ye returned 7725 and wept 1058 before 6440 the LORD 3068; but the LORD 3068 would not hearken 8085 to your voice 6963, nor give ear 238 unto you.
46 So ye abode 3427 in Kadesh 6946 many 7227 days 3117, according unto the days 3117 that ye abode 3427 there.
