| [1]These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab; |
[1]These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel, on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain, over against the Red Sea, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. |
| [2]eleven days' from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea. |
[2]There are eleven days journey from Horeb unto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mount Seir. |
| [3]And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them; |
[3]And it came to pass in the first day of the eleventh month, in the fortieth year that Moses spake unto the children of Israel according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them, |
| [4]after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei, |
[4]After that he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei. |
| [5]beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying: |
[5]On this side Jordan in the land of Moab began Moses to declare this law, saying, |
| [6]`Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you -- of dwelling in this mount; |
[6]The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount, |
| [7]turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat; |
[7]Turn you and depart, and go unto the mountain of the Amorites, and unto all places near thereunto in the plain, in the mountain, or in the valley: both southward, and to the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river, the river Perath. |
| [8]see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them. |
[8]Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess that land which the Lord swear unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. |
| [9]`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you; |
[9]And I spake unto you the same time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: |
| [10]Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude; |
[10]The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven in number: |
| [11]Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you. |
[11](The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you) |
| [12]`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife? |
[12]How can I alone bear your cumbrance and your charge, and your strife? |
| [13]Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads; |
[13]Bring you men of wisdom and of understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you: |
| [14]and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken -- to do. |
[14]Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded us to do. |
| [15]`And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes. |
[15]So I took the chief of your tribes wise and known men, and made them rulers over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifty, and captains over ten, and officers among your tribes. |
| [16]And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren -- then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner; |
[16]And I charged your judges that same time, saying, Hear the controversies between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. |
| [17]ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it; |
[17]Ye shall have no respect of person in judgment, but shall hear the small as well as the great: ye shall not fear the face of man: for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring unto me, and I will hear it. |
| [18]and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do. |
[18]Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should do. |
| [19]`And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen -- the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea. |
[19]Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness (as ye have seen) by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us: and we came to Kadesh-barnea. |
| [20]`And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us; |
[20]And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us. |
| [21]see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted. |
[21]Behold, the Lord thy God hath laid the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged. |
| [22]`And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in; |
[22]Then ye came unto me every one, and said, We will send men before us, to search us out the land and to bring us word again, what way we must go up by, and unto what cities we shall come. |
| [23]and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe. |
[23]So the saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you, of every tribe one. |
| [24]`And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it, |
[24]Who departed, and went up into the mountain, and came unto the river Eshcol, and searched out the land. |
| [25]and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us. |
[25]And took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doth give us. |
| [26]`And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, |
[26]Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but were disobedient unto the commandment of the Lord your God, |
| [27]and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite -- to destroy us; |
[27]And murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, therefore hath he brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy us. |
| [28]whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim -- we have seen there. |
[28]Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller than we: the cities are great and walled up to heaven: and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. |
| [29]`And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them; |
[29]But I said unto you, Dread not, nor be afraid of them. |
| [30]Jehovah your God, who is going before you -- He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes, |
[30]The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did unto you in Egypt before your eyes, |
| [31]and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place. |
[31]And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the Lord thy God bear thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place. |
| [32]`And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God, |
[32]Yet for all this ye did not believe the Lord your God, |
| [33]who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day. |
[33]Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to go, and in a cloud by day. |
| [34]`And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying, |
[34]Then the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swear, saying, |
| [35]Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers, |
[35]Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I swear to give unto your fathers, |
| [36]save Caleb son of Jephunneh -- he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah. |
[36]Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord. |
| [37]`Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither; |
[37]Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither, |
| [38]Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit. |
[38]But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. |
| [39]`And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it; |
[39]Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey, and your sons, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. |
| [40]and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea. |
[40]But as for you, turn back, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. |
| [41]`And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we -- we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country; |
[41]Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us: and ye armed you every man to the war, and were ready to go up into the mountain. |
| [42]and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies. |
[42]But the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, (for I am not among you) lest ye fall before your enemies. |
| [43]`And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country; |
[43]And when I told you, ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain. |
| [44]and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir -- unto Hormah. |
[44]Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountain came out against you, and chased you (as bees used to do) and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. |
| [45]`And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you; |
[45]And when ye came again, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not hear your voice, nor incline his ears unto you. |
| [46]and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt. |
[46]So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before. |
