[1] These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. [2] It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. [3] In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh§ had given him in commandment to them, [4] after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei. [5] Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying, [6] “Yahweh our God§ spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain. [7] Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. [8] 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 offspring§ after them.’ ” [9] I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone. [10] Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude. [11] May Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you! [12] How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife? [13] Take wise men of understanding who are respected among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.” [14] You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.” [15] So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes. [16] I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him. [17] 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. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.” [18] I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do. [19] 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. [20] I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us. [21] 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.” [22] You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.” [23] The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe. [24] They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. [25] They took some 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.” [26] Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God. [27] You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us. [28] Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’ ” [29] Then I said to you, “Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them. [30] 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, [31] and in the wilderness where you have seen how that Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.” [32] Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh your God, [33] who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day. [34] Yahweh heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying, [35] “Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers, [36] except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.” [37] Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there. [38] Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. [39] Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it. [40] But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.” [41] 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.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country. [42] Yahweh said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up and don’t fight; for I am not among you, lest you be struck before your enemies.’ ” [43] 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. [44] 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. [45] You returned and wept before Yahweh, but Yahweh didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you. [46] So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.

[1] These [be] the wordsH1697 which MosesH4872 spakeH1696(PielPerf) unto all IsraelH3478 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 in the wilderness,H4057 in the plainH6160 over againstH4136 the RedH5489 [sea], between Paran,H6290 and Tophel,H8603 and Laban,H3837 and Hazeroth,H2698 and Dizahab.H1774 [2] ([There are] elevenH259 days’H3117 [journey] from HorebH2722 by the wayH1870 of mountH2022 SeirH8165 unto Kadeshbarnea.H6947) [3] And it came to pass in the fortiethH705 year,H8141 in the eleventhH6249 month,H2320 on the firstH259 [day] of the month,H2320 [that] MosesH4872 spakeH1696(PielPerf) unto the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 according unto all that the LordH3068 had given him in commandmentH6680(PielPerf) unto them; [4] AfterH310 he had slainH5221(HiphInf) SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the Amorites,H567 which dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in Heshbon,H2809 and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of Bashan,H1316 which dweltH3427(QalActPtc) at AstarothH6252 in Edrei:H154 [5] On this sideH5676 Jordan,H3383 in the landH776 of Moab,H4124 beganH2974(HiphPerf) MosesH4872 to declareH874(PielInf) this law,H8451 saying,H559(QalInf) [6] The LordH3068 our GodH430 spakeH1696(PielPerf) unto us in Horeb,H2722 saying,H559(QalInf) Ye have dweltH3427(QalInf) long enoughH7227 in this mount:H2022 [7] TurnH6437(QalImpv) you, and take your journey,H5265(QalImpv) and goH935(QalImpv) to the mountH2022 of the Amorites,H567 and unto all [the places] nighH7934 thereunto, in the plain,H6160 in the hills,H2022 and in the vale,H8219 and in the south,H5045 and by the seaH3220 side,H2348 to the landH776 of the Canaanites,H3669 and unto Lebanon,H3844 unto the greatH1419 river,H5104 the riverH5104 Euphrates.H6578 [8] Behold,H7200(QalImpv) I have setH5414(QalPerf) the landH776 beforeH6440 you: goH935(QalImpv) in and possessH3423(QalImpv) the landH776 which the LordH3068 swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto your fathers,H1 Abraham,H85 Isaac,H3327 and Jacob,H3290 to giveH5414(QalInf) unto them and to their seedH2233 afterH310 them. [9] And I spakeH559(QalImpf) unto you at that time,H6256 saying,H559(QalInf) I am not ableH3201(QalImpf) to bearH5375(QalInf) you myself alone:H905 [10] The LordH3068 your GodH430 hath multipliedH7235(HiphPerf) you, and, behold, ye [are] this dayH3117 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitude.H7230 [11] (The LordH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 make you a thousandH505 timesH6471 so many more asH3254(HiphImpf) ye [are], and blessH1288(PielImpf) you, as he hath promisedH1696(PielPerf) you!) [12] HowH349 can I myself alone bearH5375(QalImpf) your cumbrance,H2960 and your burden,H4853 and your strife?H7379 [13] TakeH3051(QalImpv) you wiseH2450 men,H582 and understanding,H995(NiphPtc) and knownH3045(QalPasPtc) among your tribes,H7626 and I will makeH7760(QalImpf) them rulersH7218 over you. [14] And ye answeredH6030(QalImpf) me, and said,H559(QalImpf) The thingH1697 which thou hast spokenH1696(PielPerf) [is] goodH2896 [for us] to do.H6213(QalInf) [15] So I tookH3947(QalImpf) the chiefH7218 of your tribes,H7626 wiseH2450 men,H582 and known,H3045(QalPasPtc) and madeH5414(QalImpf) them headsH7218 over you, captainsH8269 over thousands,H505 and captainsH8269 over hundreds,H3967 and captainsH8269 over fifties,H2572 and captainsH8269 over tens,H6235 and officersH7860(QalActPtc) among your tribes.H7626 [16] And I chargedH6680(PielImpf) your judgesH8199(QalActPtc) at that time,H6256 saying,H559(QalInf) HearH8085(QalInf) [the causes] between your brethren,H251 and judgeH8199(QalPerf) righteouslyH6664 between [every] manH376 and his brother,H251 and the strangerH1616 [that is] with him. [17] Ye shall not respectH5234(HiphImpf) personsH6440 in judgment;H4941 [but] ye shall hearH8085(QalImpf) the smallH6996 as well as the great;H1419 ye shall not be afraidH1481(QalImpf) of the faceH6440 of man;H376 for the judgmentH4941 [is] God’s:H430 and the causeH1697 that is too hardH7185(QalImpf) for you, bringH7126(HiphImpf) [it] unto me, and I will hearH8085(QalPerf) it. [18] And I commandedH6680(PielImpf) you at that timeH6256 all the thingsH1697 which ye should do.H6213(QalImpf) [19] And when we departedH5265(QalImpf) from Horeb,H2722 we went throughH3212(QalImpf) all that greatH1419 and terribleH3372(NiphPtc) wilderness,H4057 which ye sawH7200(QalPerf) by the wayH1870 of the mountainH2022 of the Amorites,H567 as the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680(PielPerf) us; and we cameH935(QalImpf) to Kadeshbarnea.H6947 [20] And I saidH559(QalImpf) unto you, Ye are comeH935(QalPerf) unto the mountainH2022 of the Amorites,H567 which the LordH3068 our GodH430 doth giveH5414(QalActPtc) unto us. [21] Behold,H7200(QalImpv) the LordH3068 thy GodH430 hath setH5414(QalPerf) the landH776 beforeH6440 thee: go upH5927(QalImpv) [and] possessH3423(QalImpv) [it], as the LordH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 hath saidH1696(PielPerf) unto thee; fearH3372(QalImpf) not, neither be discouraged.H2865(NiphImpf) [22] And ye came nearH7126(QalImpf) unto me every one of you, and said,H559(QalImpf) We will sendH7971(QalImpf) menH582 beforeH6440 us, and they shall search us outH2658(QalImpf) the land,H776 and bringH7725 us wordH1697 againH7725(HiphImpf) by what wayH1870 we must go up,H5927(QalImpf) and into what citiesH5892 we shall come.H935(QalImpf) [23] And the sayingH1697 pleased me well:H3190(QalImpf) and I tookH3947(QalImpf) twelveH8147 menH582 of you, oneH259 of a tribe:H376 [24] And they turnedH6437(QalImpf) and went upH5927(QalImpf) into the mountain,H2022 and cameH935(QalImpf) unto the valleyH5158 of Eshcol,H812 and searched it out.H7270(PielImpf) [25] And they tookH3947(QalImpf) of the fruitH6529 of the landH776 in their hands,H3027 and brought [it] downH3381(HiphImpf) unto us, and broughtH7725 us wordH1697 again,H7725(HiphImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [It is] a goodH2896 landH776 which the LordH3068 our GodH430 doth giveH5414(QalActPtc) us. [26] Notwithstanding ye wouldH14(QalPerf) not go up,H5927(QalInf) but rebelledH4784(HiphImpf) against the commandmentH6310 of the LordH3068 your God:H430 [27] And ye murmuredH7279(NiphImpf) in your tents,H168 and said,H559(QalImpf) Because the LordH3068 hatedH8135 us, he hath brought us forthH3318(HiphPerf) out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 to deliverH5414(QalInf) us into the handH3027 of the Amorites,H567 to destroyH8045(HiphInf) us. [28] Whither shall we go up?H5927(QalActPtc) our brethrenH251 have discouragedH4549(HiphPerf) our heart,H3824 saying,H559(QalInf) The peopleH5971 [is] greaterH1419 and tallerH7311(QalActPtc) than we; the citiesH5892 [are] greatH1419 and walled upH1219(QalPasPtc) to heaven;H8064 and moreover we have seenH7200(QalPerf) the sonsH1121 of the AnakimsH6062 there. [29] Then I saidH559(QalImpf) unto you, DreadH6206(QalImpf) not, neither be afraidH3372(QalImpf) of them. [30] The LordH3068 your GodH430 which goethH1980(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 you, he shall fightH3898(NiphImpf) for you, according to all that he didH6213(QalPerf) for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyes;H5869 [31] And in the wilderness,H4057 where thou hast seenH7200(QalPerf) how that the LordH3068 thy GodH430 bareH5375(QalPerf) thee, as a manH376 doth bearH5375(QalImpf) his son,H1121 in all the wayH1870 that ye went,H1980(QalPerf) until ye cameH935(QalInf) into this place.H4725 [32] Yet in this thingH1697 ye did not believeH539(HiphPtc) the LordH3068 your God,H430 [33] Who wentH1980(QalActPtc) in the wayH1870 beforeH6440 you, to search you outH8446(QalInf) a placeH4725 to pitch your tentsH2583(QalInf) [in], in fireH784 by night,H3915 to shewH7200(HiphInf) you by what wayH1870 ye should go,H3212(QalImpf) and in a cloudH6051 by day.H3119 [34] And the LordH3068 heardH8085(QalImpf) the voiceH6963 of your words,H1697 and was wroth,H7107(QalImpf) and sware,H7650(NiphImpf) saying,H559(QalInf) [35] Surely there shall not oneH376 of these menH582 of this evilH7451 generationH1755 seeH7200(QalImpf) that goodH2896 land,H776 which I swareH7650(NiphPerf) to giveH5414(QalInf) unto your fathers,H1 [36] SaveH2108 CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of Jephunneh;H3312 he shall seeH7200(QalImpf) it, and to him will I giveH5414(QalImpf) the landH776 thatH834 he hath trodden upon,H1869(QalPerf) and to his children,H1121 because he hath whollyH4390(PielPerf) followedH310 the Lord.H3068 [37] Also the LordH3068 was angryH599(HithPerf) with me for your sakes,H1558 saying,H559(QalInf) Thou also shalt not goH935(QalImpf) in thither.H8033 [38] [But] JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 which standethH5975(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 thee, he shall go inH935(QalImpf) thither: encourageH2388(PielImpv) him: for he shall cause IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157(HiphImpf) it. [39] Moreover your little ones,H2945 which ye saidH559(QalPerf) should be a prey,H957 and your children,H1121 which in that dayH3117 had no knowledgeH3045(QalPerf) between goodH2896 and evil,H7451 they shall go inH935(QalImpf) thither, and unto them will I giveH5414(QalImpf) it, and they shall possessH3423(QalImpf) it. [40] But [as for] you, turnH6437(QalImpv) you, and take your journeyH5265(QalImpv) into the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 sea.H3220 [41] Then ye answeredH6030(QalImpf) and saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, We have sinnedH2398(QalPerf) against the Lord,H3068 we will go upH5927(QalImpf) and fight,H3898(NiphPerf) according to all that the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680(PielPerf) us. And when ye had girdedH2296(QalImpf) on every manH376 his weaponsH3627 of war,H4421 ye were readyH1951(HiphImpf) to go upH5927(QalInf) into the hill.H2022 [42] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SayH559(QalImpv) unto them, Go not up,H5927(QalImpf) neither fight;H3898(NiphImpf) for I [am] not amongH7130 you; lest ye be smittenH5062(NiphImpf) beforeH6440 your enemies.H341(QalActPtc) [43] So I spakeH1696(PielImpf) unto you; and ye would not hear,H8085(QalPerf) but rebelledH4784(HiphImpf) against the commandmentH6310 of the Lord,H3068 and wentH5927 presumptuouslyH2102(HiphImpf) upH5927(QalImpf) into the hill.H2022 [44] And the Amorites,H567 which dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in that mountain,H2022 came outH3318(QalImpf) againstH7125(QalInf) you, and chasedH7291(QalImpf) you, as beesH1682 do,H6213(QalImpf) and destroyedH3807(HiphImpf) you in Seir,H8165 [even] unto Hormah.H2767 [45] And ye returnedH7725(QalImpf) and weptH1058(QalImpf) beforeH6440 the Lord;H3068 but the LordH3068 would not hearkenH8085(QalPerf) to your voice,H6963 nor give earH238(HiphPerf) unto you. [46] So ye abodeH3427(QalImpf) in KadeshH6946 manyH7227 days,H3117 according unto the daysH3117 that ye abodeH3427(QalPerf) [there].
