< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].

2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
one ten day from Horeb way: road mountain: mount (Mount) Seir till Kadesh-barnea Kadesh-barnea

5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:

7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.

9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.

13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’

14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
and to answer [obj] me and to say pleasant [the] word: thing which to speak: speak to/for to make: do
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.

17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’

19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
and to set out from Horeb and to go: walk [obj] all [the] wilderness [the] great: large and [the] to fear [the] he/she/it which to see: see way: road mountain: hill country [the] Amorite like/as as which to command LORD God our [obj] us and to come (in): come till Kadesh-barnea Kadesh-barnea
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
and to say to(wards) you to come (in): come till mountain: hill country [the] Amorite which LORD God our to give: give to/for us

22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
and to present: come [emph?] to(wards) me all your and to say to send: depart human to/for face: before our and to search to/for us [obj] [the] land: country/planet and to return: return [obj] us word [obj] [the] way: road which to ascend: rise in/on/with her and [obj] [the] city which to come (in): come to(wards) them
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
and be good in/on/with eye: appearance my [the] word: thing and to take: take from you two ten human man one to/for tribe
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.

25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”

26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
and not be willing to/for to ascend: rise and to rebel [obj] lip: word LORD God your
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.

28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’

and to say to(wards) you not to tremble [emph?] and not to fear [emph?] from them
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt

32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
and in/on/with word [the] this nothing you be faithful in/on/with LORD God your

34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
and to hear: hear LORD [obj] voice: [sound of] word your and be angry and to swear to/for to say
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’

37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
also in/on/with me be angry LORD in/on/with because of you to/for to say also you(m. s.) not to come (in): come there
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
Joshua (son: child *L(abh)*) Nun [the] to stand: stand to/for face: before your he/she/it to come (in): come there [to] [obj] him to strengthen: strengthen for he/she/it to inherit her [obj] Israel
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
and child your which to say to/for plunder to be and son: child your which not to know [the] day good and bad: evil they(masc.) to come (in): come there [to] and to/for them to give: give her and they(masc.) to possess: take her
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
and you(m. p.) to turn to/for you and to set out [the] wilderness [to] way: direction sea Red (Sea)
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
and to answer and to say to(wards) me to sin to/for LORD we to ascend: rise and to fight like/as all which to command us LORD God our and to gird man: anyone [obj] article/utensil battle his and be ready to/for to ascend: rise [the] mountain: hill country [to]
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
and to say LORD to(wards) me to say to/for them not to ascend: rise and not to fight for nothing I in/on/with entrails: among your and not to strike to/for face: before enemy your
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
and to speak: speak to(wards) you and not to hear: hear and to rebel [obj] lip: word LORD and to boil and to ascend: rise [the] mountain: hill country [to]
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
and to come out: come [the] Amorite [the] to dwell in/on/with mountain: hill country [the] he/she/it to/for to encounter: toward you and to pursue [obj] you like/as as which to make: do [the] bee and to crush [obj] you in/on/with Seir till Hormah
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
and to return: return and to weep to/for face: before LORD and not to hear: hear LORD in/on/with voice your and not to listen to(wards) you
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
