These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, 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.

It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to 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.

It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that YHWH had given him in commandment to 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 struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and 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.

Beyond the 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 spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:

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, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Negev, and by the sea coast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Perath.

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.

Look, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which I swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them."

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

I spoke to 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 has multiplied you, and look, you are this day as the stars of the sky 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, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has 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 encumbrance, 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 wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."

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

You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good 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 heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to 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.

I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living 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.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it."

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

I commanded you at that time all the things which you 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.

We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country 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.

I said to you, "You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which YHWH our God gives to 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.

Look, YHWH your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as YHWH, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not be afraid, neither be dismayed."

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.

You came near to me everyone of you, and said, "Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come."

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

The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every 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 hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied 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.

They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, "It is a good land which YHWH our God gives to us."

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

Yet you wouldn't 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 you murmured in your tents, and said, "Because YHWH hated us, he has 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.

Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'"

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

Then I said to you, "Do not dread, 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 who goes before you, he will 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 you have seen how that YHWH your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place."

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

Yet in this thing you 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 before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

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

YHWH heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, 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 not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to 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.

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has 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, "You also shall not go in there:

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

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, because he will 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, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to 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, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to 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 you answered and said to me, "We have sinned against YHWH our God, we will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH our God commanded us." Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.

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.

YHWH said to me, "Tell them, 'Do not go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck 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 spoke to you, and you did not listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of YHWH, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.

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.

The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to 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.

You returned and wept before YHWH; but YHWH did not listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

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

So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
