Deuteronomy 1

1 These [are] the words which he spoke Moses to all Israel on [the] other side of the Jordan in the wilderness in the desert plain opposite to Suph between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Di Zahab.

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 [is] one [plus] Ten day[s] from Horeb [the] way of [the] mountain of Seir to Kadesh Barnea.

( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh–barnea.)

3 And it was in forty year in [the] one [plus] ten month on [day] one of the month he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel according to all that he had commanded Yahweh him to them.

And 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 Yhwh had given him in commandment unto them;

4 After had defeated he Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon and Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.

After 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:

5 On [the] other side of the Jordan in [the] land of Moab he undertook Moses he made clear the law this saying.

On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

6 Yahweh God our he spoke to us at Horeb saying [is] enough for you remaining at the mountain this.

Yhwh our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

7 Turn - and set out for yourselves and go [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] and to all neighbors its in the desert plain in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in the Negev and on [the] coast of the sea [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and Lebanon to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.

Turn 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.

8 See I set before you the land go and take possession of the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to them and to offspring their after them.

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yhwh sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

9 And I said to you at the time that saying not I am able to alone me to bear you.

And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

10 Yahweh God your he has increased you and here you this day [are] like [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.

Yhwh your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11 Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your may he add to you like you a thousand times and may he bless you just as he spoke to you.

( Yhwh 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? will I bear to alone me burden your and burden your and dispute[s] your.

How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13 Provide for yourselves men wise and understanding and known to tribes your so I may appoint them chiefs your.

Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

14 And you answered me and you said [is] good the word which you have spoken to do.

And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

15 And I took [the] chiefs of tribes your men wise and known and I appointed them chiefs over you leaders of thousands and leaders of hundreds and leaders of fifties and leaders of tens and officials of tribes your.

So 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.

16 And I commanded judges your at the time that saying hear between countrymen your and you will judge righteousness between anyone and between countryman his and between sojourner his.

And 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.

17 Not you will pay regard to faces in judgment as the small as the great you will listen! not you will be afraid of anyone for the judgment [belongs] to God it and the matter which it will be [too] hard for you you will bring near! to me and I will hear it.

Ye 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.

18 And I commanded you at the time that all the things which you will do!

And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

19 And we set out from Horeb and we walked all the wilderness great and awesome that which you saw [the] way of [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] just as he had commanded Yahweh God our us and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

And 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 Yhwh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh–barnea.

20 And I said to you you have come to [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.

And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Yhwh our God doth give unto us.

21 See he sets Yahweh God your before you the land go up take possession of [it] just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you may not you be afraid and may not you be dismayed.

Behold, Yhwh thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as Yhwh God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

22 And you drew near! to me all of you and you said let us send out men before us so they may spy out for us the land so they may bring back us word the way which we will go up on it and the cities which we will go to them.

And 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.

23 And it was good in view my the thing and I took from you two [plus] ten men a man one to the tribe.

And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

24 And they turned and they went up the hill country towards and they came to [the] wadi of Eshcol and they spied out it.

And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

25 And they took in hand their some of [the] fruit of the land and they brought [it] down to us and they brought back us word and they said [is] good the land which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.

And 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 Yhwh our God doth give us.

26 And not you were willing to go up and you rebelled toward [the] mouth of Yahweh God your.

Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh your God:

27 And you murmured in tents your and you said in [the] hatred of Yahweh us he brought out us from [the] land of Egypt to give us in [the] hand of the Amorite[s] to destroy us.

And ye murmured in your tents, and said, because Yhwh 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.

28 Where? - [are] we going up countrymen our they have made melt heart our saying [the] people [is] great and lofty more than us [the] cities [are] large and fortified in the heavens and also [the] descendants of [the] Anakites we saw there.

Whither 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.

29 And I said to you not you must be terrified! and not you must be afraid! from them.

Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30 Yahweh God your [is] the [one who] goes before you he he will fight for you according to all that he did with you in Egypt to eyes your.

Yhwh your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

31 And in the wilderness where you saw that he carried you Yahweh God your just as he carries anyone child his on all the journey which you walked until came you to the place this.

And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Yhwh thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

32 And in the thing this not you [were] trusting in Yahweh God your.

Yet in this thing ye did not believe Yhwh your God,

33 Who went before you on the journey to seek out for you a place to camp you in the fire - night to show you the way which you will go on it and in the cloud by day.

Who 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.

34 And he heard Yahweh [the] sound of words your and he was angry and he swore an oath saying.

And Yhwh heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

35 If he will see anyone among the men these the generation evil this the land good which I swore to give to ancestors your.

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

36 Except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh he he will see it and to him I will give the land which he has trodden on it and to sons his because that he filled after Yahweh.

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 wholly followed Yhwh.

37 Also with me he was angry Yahweh on account of you saying also you not you will go there.

Also Yhwh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

38 Joshua ([the] son of *L(abh)*) Nun who stands before you he he will go there towards him encourage for he he will give as an inheritance it Israel.

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 little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and children your who not they know this day good and evil they they will go there towards and to them I will give it and they they will take possession of it.

Moreover 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.

40 And you turn yourselves and set out the wilderness towards [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].

But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

41 And you answered - and you said to me we have sinned to Yahweh we we will go up and we will fight according to all that he has commanded us Yahweh God our and you girded on everyone [the] weapons of war his and you regarded as easy to go up the hill country towards.

Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Yhwh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yhwh 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.

42 And he said Yahweh to me say to them not you must go up and not you must fight for not I [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.

And Yhwh said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43 And I spoke to you and not you listened and you rebelled against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you acted presumptuously and you went up the hill country towards.

So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

44 And he came out the Amorite[s] who was dwelling in the hill country that to meet you and they pursued you just as they do bees and they scattered you in Seir to Hormah.

And 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.

45 And you returned and you wept before Yahweh and not he listened Yahweh to voice your and not he gave ear to you.

And ye returned and wept before Yhwh; But Yhwh would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

46 And you remained at Kadesh days many like the days which you remained.

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
