اَلتَّثْنِيَة 4

١ 1 «فَٱلْآنَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱسْمَعِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعَلِّمُكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا، لِكَيْ تَحْيَوْا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ يُعْطِيكُمْ.

Now, Israel [God prevails], sh'ma ·hear obey· the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Adonai, the God of your fathers, gives you.

٢ 2 لَا تَزِيدُوا عَلَى ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ وَلَا تُنَقِّصُوا مِنْهُ، لِكَيْ تَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا.

You shall not add to the word which I enjoin you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai your God which I enjoin you.

٣ 3 أَعْيُنُكُمْ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتْ مَا فَعَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِبَعْلَ فَغُورَ. إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَ بَعْلَ فَغُورَ أَبَادَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ،

Your eyes have seen what Adonai did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Adonai your God has destroyed them from among you.

٤ 4 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُلْتَصِقُونَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فَجَمِيعُكُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ ٱلْيَوْمَ.

But you who were faithful to Adonai your God are all alive today.

٥ 5 اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ عَلَّمْتُكُمْ فَرَائِضَ وَأَحْكَامًا كَمَا أَمَرَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، لِكَيْ تَعْمَلُوا هَكَذَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ دَاخِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكُوهَا.

Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as Adonai my God enjoined me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go in to possess it.

٦ 6 فَٱحْفَظُوا وَٱعْمَلُوا. لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ حِكْمَتُكُمْ وَفِطْنَتُكُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ، فَيَقُولُونَ: هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَعْبٌ حَكِيمٌ وَفَطِنٌ.

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall sh'ma ·hear obey· all these statutes, and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ أَيُّ شَعْبٍ هُوَ عَظِيمٌ لَهُ آلِهَةٌ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْهُ كَٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا فِي كُلِّ أَدْعِيَتِنَا إِلَيْهِ؟

For what great nation is there, that has a deity so near to them, as Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] is whenever we call on him?

٨ 8 وَأَيُّ شَعْبٍ هُوَ عَظِيمٌ لَهُ فَرَائِضُ وَأَحْكَامٌ عَادِلَةٌ مِثْلُ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا وَاضِعٌ أَمَامَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟

What great nation is there, that has statutes and judgement so upright as all this Torah ·Teaching·, which I set before you today?

٩ 9 «إِنَّمَا ٱحْتَرِزْ وَٱحفَظْ نَفْسَكَ جِدًّا لِئَلَّا تَنْسَى ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَاكَ، وَلِئَلَّا تَزُولَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ. وَعَلِّمْهَا أَوْلَادَكَ وَأَوْلَادَ أَوْلَادِكَ.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children;

١٠ 10 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي وَقَفْتَ فِيهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱجْمَعْ لِي ٱلشَّعْبَ فَأُسْمِعَهُمْ كَلَامِي، لِكَيْ يَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ يَخَافُونِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ فِيهَا أَحْيَاءٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيُعَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ.

the day that you stood before Adonai your God in Horeb [Desert], when Adonai said to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them sh'ma ·hear obey· my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”

١١ 11 فَتَقَدَّمْتُمْ وَوَقَفْتُمْ فِي أَسْفَلِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْجَبَلُ يَضْطَرِمُ بِٱلنَّارِ إِلَى كَبِدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، بِظَلَامٍ وَسَحَابٍ وَضَبَابٍ.

You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

١٢ 12 فَكَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأَنْتُمْ سَامِعُونَ صَوْتَ كَلَامٍ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْا صُورَةً بَلْ صَوْتًا.

Adonai spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.

١٣ 13 وَأَخْبَرَكُمْ بِعَهْدِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهِ، ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلْعَشَرِ، وَكَتَبَهُ عَلَى لَوْحَيْ حَجَرٍ.

He declared to you his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which he enjoined you to perform, even the Ten Words. He wrote them on two stone tablets.

١٤ 14 وَإِيَّايَ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ فَرَائِضَ وَأَحْكَامًا لِكَيْ تَعْمَلُوهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا.

Adonai enjoined me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

١٥ 15 «فَٱحْتَفِظُوا جِدًّا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. فَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرَوْا صُورَةً مَّا يَوْمَ كَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي حُورِيبَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ.

Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that Adonai spoke to you in Horeb [Desert] out of the middle of the fire,

١٦ 16 لِئَلَّا تَفْسُدُوا وَتَعْمَلُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا، صُورَةَ مِثَالٍ مَّا، شِبْهَ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى،

lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

١٧ 17 شِبْهَ بَهِيمَةٍ مَّا مِمَّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، شِبْهَ طَيْرٍ مَّا ذِي جَنَاحٍ مِمَّا يَطِيرُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ،

the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

١٨ 18 شِبْهَ دَبِيبٍ مَّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، شِبْهَ سَمَكٍ مَّا مِمَّا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;

١٩ 19 وَلِئَلَّا تَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَتَنْظُرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ، كُلَّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي قَسَمَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَتَغْتَرَّ وَتَسْجُدَ لَهَا وَتَعْبُدَهَا.

and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and abad ·serve· them, which Adonai your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

٢٠ 20 وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ كُورِ ٱلْحَدِيدِ مِنْ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا لَهُ شَعْبَ مِيرَاثٍ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

But Adonai has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.

٢١ 21 وَغَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ، وَأَقْسَمَ إِنِّي لَا أَعْبُرُ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَلَا أَدْخُلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يُعْطِيكَ نَصِيبًا.

Furthermore Adonai was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan [Descender], and that I should not go in to that good land, which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance;

٢٢ 22 فَأَمُوتُ أَنَا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لَا أَعْبُرُ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَعْبُرُونَ وَتَمْتَلِكُونَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ.

but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan [Descender]; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.

٢٣ 23 اِحْتَرِزُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَنْسَوْا عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَكُمْ، وَتَصْنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا، صُورَةَ كُلِّ مَا نَهَاكَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Be careful, lest you forget the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of Adonai your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves an engraved image in the form of anything which Adonai your God has enjoined forbidden for you.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ، إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ.

For Yahweh [He sustains breathing] your God is 'Akal 'Esh [Consuming Fire], El Kana' [Jealous God].

٢٥ 25 «إِذَا وَلَدْتُمْ أَوْلَادًا وَأَوْلَادَ أَوْلَادٍ، وَأَطَلْتُمُ ٱلزَّمَانَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَفَسَدْتُمْ وَصَنَعْتُمْ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا صُورَةَ شَيْءٍ مَّا، وَفَعَلْتُمُ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ،

When you shall father children, and children’s children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in Adonai your God’s sight, to provoke him to anger;

٢٦ 26 أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَنَّكُمْ تَبِيدُونَ سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. لَا تُطِيلُونَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَيْهَا، بَلْ تَهْلِكُونَ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan [Descender] to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.

٢٧ 27 وَيُبَدِّدُكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ، فَتَبْقَوْنَ عَدَدًا قَلِيلًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي يَسُوقُكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهَا.

Adonai will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations, where Adonai will lead you away.

٢٨ 28 وَتَصْنَعُونَ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ مِمَّا لَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشُمُّ.

There you shall abad ·serve· deities, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor sh'ma ·hear obey·, nor eat, nor smell.

٢٩ 29 ثُمَّ إِنْ طَلَبْتَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَجِدْهُ إِذَا ٱلْتَمَسْتَهُ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ.

But from there you shall seek Adonai your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

٣٠ 30 عِنْدَمَا ضُيِّقَ عَلَيْكَ وَأَصَابَتْكَ كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، تَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَتَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِهِ،

When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to Adonai your God, and sh'ma ·hear obey· to his voice.

٣١ 31 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ إِلَهٌ رَحِيمٌ، لَا يَتْرُكُكَ وَلَا يُهْلِكُكَ وَلَا يَنْسَى عَهْدَ آبَائِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ.

For Adonai your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of your fathers which he swore to them.

٣٢ 32 «فَٱسْأَلْ عَنِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ قَبْلَكَ، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱللهُ فِيهِ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى أَقْصَائِهَا. هَلْ جَرَى مِثْلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، أَوْ هَلْ سُمِعَ نَظِيرُهُ؟

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been sh'ma ·heard obeyed· like it?

٣٣ 33 هَلْ سَمِعَ شَعْبٌ صَوْتَ ٱللهِ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ كَمَا سَمِعْتَ أَنْتَ، وَعَاشَ؟

Did a people ever sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and live?

٣٤ 34 أَوْ هَلْ شَرَعَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا مِنْ وَسَطِ شَعْبٍ، بِتَجَارِبَ وَآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ وَحَرْبٍ وَيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ رَفِيعَةٍ وَمَخَاوِفَ عَظِيمَةٍ، مِثْلَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي مِصْرَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ؟

Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Adonai your God did for you in Egypt [Abode of slavery] before your eyes?

٣٥ 35 إِنَّكَ قَدْ أُرِيتَ لِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ. لَيْسَ آخَرَ سِوَاهُ.

It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh [He sustains breathing] is God. There is no one else besides him,

٣٦ 36 مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَسْمَعَكَ صَوْتَهُ لِيُنْذِرَكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَرَاكَ نَارَهُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ، وَسَمِعْتَ كَلَامَهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ.

Out of heaven he made you to sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you sh'ma ·heard obeyed· his words out of the middle of the fire.

٣٧ 37 وَلِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّ آبَاءَكَ وَٱخْتَارَ نَسْلَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ، أَخْرَجَكَ بِحَضْرَتِهِ بِقُوَّتِهِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ مِنْ مِصْرَ،

Because he 'ahav ·affectionately loved· your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt [Abode of slavery];

٣٨ 38 لِكَيْ يَطْرُدَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ شُعُوبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكَ، وَيَأْتِيَ بِكَ وَيُعْطِيَكَ أَرْضَهُمْ نَصِيبًا كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.

٣٩ 39 فَٱعْلَمِ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَرَدِّدْ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ. لَيْسَ سِوَاهُ.

Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that Yahweh [He sustains breathing] himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else.

٤٠ 40 وَٱحْفَظْ فَرَائِضَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِكَيْ يُحْسَنَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى أَوْلَادِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ، وَلِكَيْ تُطِيلَ أَيَّامَكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يُعْطِيكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

You shall keep his statutes, and his mitzvot ·instructions·, which I enjoin you today, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Adonai your God gives you, forever.

٤١ 41 حِينَئِذٍ أَفْرَزَ مُوسَى ثَلَاثَ مُدُنٍ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ

Then Moses [Drawn out] set apart three cities beyond the Jordan [Descender] toward the sunrise;

٤٢ 42 لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُ صَاحِبَهُ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُبْغِضٍ لَهُ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ. يَهْرُبُ إِلَى إِحْدَى تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنِ فَيَحْيَا.

that the man slayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and didn’t hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

٤٣ 43 بَاصِرَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلسَّهْلِ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ، وَرَامُوتَ فِي جِلْعَادَ لِلْجَادِيِّينَ، وَجُولَانَ فِي بَاشَانَ لِلْمَنَسِّيِّينَ.

Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

٤٤ 44 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ ٱلَّتِي وَضَعَهَا مُوسَى أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

This is the Torah ·Teaching· which Moses [Drawn out] set before the children of Israel [God prevails].

٤٥ 45 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَاتُ وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَ بِهَا مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ

These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails], when they came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery],

٤٦ 46 فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ، فِي أَرْضِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي حَشْبُونَ، ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبَهُ مُوسَى وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ

beyond the Jordan [Descender], in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses [Drawn out] and the children of Israel [God prevails] struck, when they came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].

٤٧ 47 وَٱمْتَلَكُوا أَرْضَهُ وَأَرْضَ عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ، مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، ٱللَّذَيْنِ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ.

They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who were beyond the Jordan [Descender] toward the sunrise;

٤٨ 48 مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِيئُونَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ حَرْمُونُ

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (also called Hermon [Devoted to destruction]),

٤٩ 49 وَكُلَّ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ.

and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan [Descender] eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
