1These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
1These 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[It is] a journey of eleven daysfrom Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
2(There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh–barnea.)
3And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
3And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them;
4after he had smitten Seon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who dwelt in Astaroth and in Edrain;
4After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5beyond Jordanin the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
5On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have dwelt [so long] in this mountain.
6The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7Turn ye and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
9And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are to-day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
10The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless youas he has 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!)
12How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
12How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13Take to yourselves wise and understandingand prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
13Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14And ye answered meand said, The thing which thou hast told us [is] good to do.
14And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
15So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
16And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17Thou shalt not have respect to persons in judgment, thou shalt judge small and great equally; thou shalt not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God's; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, ye shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
17Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which ye shall perform.
18And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible , which ye saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
19And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh–barnea.
20And I said to you, Ye have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
20And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit itas the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
21Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22And ye all came to me , and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
22And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23And the saying pleased me : and I took of you twelve men , one man of a tribe.
23And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it .
24And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land , and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
25And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us.
26Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
26Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God:
27And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egyptto deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
27And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
28Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, 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.
29And I said to you, Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them;
29Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt ;
30The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31and in this wilderness which ye saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord thy God will bear thee as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which ye have gone until ye came to this place.
31And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32And in this matter ye believed not the Lord our God,
32Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,
33who goes before you in the way to choose you a place , guiding you in fire by night, shewing you the way by which ye go, and a cloud by day.
33Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
34And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
35Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
36except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
36Save 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 wholly followed the Lord.
37And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shalt thou by any means enter therein.
37Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by thee, he shall enter in there; do thou strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
38But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
39Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, 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.
40And ye turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
40But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41And ye answered and said , We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fightaccording to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, ye went up to the mountain.
41Then 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 commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42And the Lord said to me, Tell them, Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight, for I am not with you; thus shall ye not be destroyed before your enemies.
42And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43And I spoke to you, and ye did not hearken to me; and ye transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and ye forced your way and went up into the mountain.
43So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44And the Amorite who dwelt in that mountaincame out to meet you, and pursued youas bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
44And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45And ye sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord hearkened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
45And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46And ye dwelt in Cades many days, as many days as ye dwelt [there].
46So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
1And we turnedand departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
1Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2And the Lord said to me,
2And the Lord spake unto me, saying,
3Ye have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
3Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4And charge the people, saying, Ye are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
4And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
5Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
6Buy food of them for money and eat, and ye shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
6Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
7For the Lord our God has blessed thee in every work of thy hands. Consider how thou wentest through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord thy God [has been] with thee forty years; thou didst not lack any thing.
7For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the way of Araba from Ælon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.
8And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion–gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9And the Lord said to me, Do not ye quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
9And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
10Formerly the Ommin dwelt in it, a greatand numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
10The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
11Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12And the Chorrhite dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
12The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.
13Now then, arise ye, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
13Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14And the days in which we travelled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.
14And the space in which we came from Kadesh–barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.
15And the hand of the Lord was upon themto destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
15For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16And it came to passwhen all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
16So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
17That the Lord spake unto me, saying,
18Thou shalt pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
18Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
19and ye shall draw nigh to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them , nor wage war with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
19And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
20It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain dwelt there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
20(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they dwelt [there] instead of them until this day.
21A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and dwelt [therein] instead of them until this day.
22As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
23And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and dwelt in their room.
23And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into thy hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
24Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25Begin to put thy terror and thy fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard thy name, and shall be in anguish before thee.
25This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
26And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceable words , saying,
26And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27I will pass through thy land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
27Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28Thou shalt give me food for money, and I will eat; and thou shalt give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
28Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
29(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.
30And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as on this day.
30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
31And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before thee Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do thou begin to inherit his land.
31And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his peopleto war at Jassa.
32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
33And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities .
35Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
36From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:
37Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
37Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us.
