DE-1:1 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.
DE-1:2 ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way
of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
DE-1:3 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 the LORD had
given him in commandment unto them;
DE-1:4 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:
DE-1:5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to
declare this law, saying,
DE-1:6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have
dwelt long enough in this mount:
DE-1:7 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.
DE-1:8 Behold, 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.
DE-1:9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able
to bear you myself alone:
DE-1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye
[are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
DE-1:11 (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!
)
DE-1:12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your
burden, and your strife?
DE-1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among
your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
DE-1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast
spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
DE-1:15 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.
DE-1:16 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.
DE-1:17 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.
DE-1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye
should do.
DE-1:19 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 the LORD our God commanded us;
and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
DE-1:20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of
the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
DE-1:21 Behold, 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.
DE-1:22 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.
DE-1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of
you, one of a tribe:
DE-1:24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came
unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
DE-1:25 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 the LORD our God doth give us.
DE-1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against
the commandment of the LORD your God:
DE-1:27 And 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.
DE-1:28 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.
DE-1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of
them.
DE-1:30 The 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;
DE-1:31 And 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.
DE-1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
DE-1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a
place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by
what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
DE-1:34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was
wroth, and sware, saying,
DE-1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your
fathers,
DE-1:36 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 the LORD.
DE-1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying,
Thou also shalt not go in thither.
DE-1:38 [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.
DE-1:39 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.
DE-1:40 But [as for] you, turn you, and take your journey into
the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
DE-1:41 Then 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.
DE-1:42 And 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.
DE-1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled
against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up
into the hill.
DE-1:44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out
against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in
