ASV_Strong : Deuteronomy 1
1. These are the words[H1697] which Moses[H4872] spake[H1696] unto all Israel[H3478] beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383] in the wilderness[H4057], in the Arabah[H6160] over against[H4136] Suph[H5489], between Paran[H6290], and Tophel[H8603], and Laban[H3837], and Hazeroth[H2698], and Di-zahab[H1774].
2. It is eleven[H259] days[H3117]' journey from Horeb[H2722] by the way[H1870] of mount[H2022] Seir[H8165] unto Kadesh-barnea[H6947].
3. And it came to pass in the fortieth[H705] year[H8141], in the eleventh[H6249] month[H2320], on the first[H259] day of the month[H2320], that Moses[H4872] spake[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], according unto all that Jehovah[H3068] had given him in commandment unto them[H6680];
4. after[H310] he had smitten[H5221] Sihon[H5511] the king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], who dwelt[H3427] in Heshbon[H2809], and Og[H5747] the king[H4428] of Bashan[H1316], who dwelt[H3427] in Ashtaroth[H6252], at Edrei[H154].
5. Beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383], in the land[H776] of Moab[H4124], began[H2974] Moses[H4872] to declare[H874] this law[H8451], saying[H559],
6. Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430] spake[H1696] unto us in Horeb[H2722], saying[H559], Ye have dwelt[H3427] long enough[H7227] in this mountain[H2022]:
7. turn[H6437] you[H5265], and take your journey, and go[H935] to the hill-country[H2022] of the Amorites[H567], and unto all the places nigh[H7934] thereunto[H6160], in the Arabah, in the hill-country[H2022], and in the lowland[H8219], and in the South[H5045], and by the[H3220] sea-shore[H2348], the land[H776] of the Canaanites[H3669], and Lebanon[H3844], as far as the great[H1419] river[H5104], the river[H5104] Euphrates[H6578].
8. Behold[H7200], I have set[H5414] the land[H776] before[H6440] you[H935]: go in and possess[H3423] the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] sware[H7650] unto your fathers[H1], to Abraham[H85], to Isaac[H3327], and to Jacob[H3290], to give[H5414] unto them and to their seed[H2233] after them[H310].
9. And I spake[H559] unto you at that time[H6256], saying[H559], I am not able[H3201] to bear[H5375] you myself alone[H905]:
10. Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430] hath multiplied[H7235] you[H3117], and, behold, ye are this day as the stars[H3556] of heaven[H8064] for multitude[H7230].
11. Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of your fathers[H1], make you a thousand[H505] times[H6471] as many as[H3254] ye are[H1288], and bless you[H1696], as he hath promised you!
12. How[H349] can I myself alone bear[H5375] your cumbrance[H2960], and your burden[H4853], and your strife[H7379]?
13. Take[H3051] you wise[H2450] men[H582], and understanding[H995], and known[H3045], according to your tribes[H7626], and I will make[H7760] them heads over you[H7218].
14. And ye answered[H6030] me[H559], and said, The thing[H1697] which thou hast spoken[H1696] is good[H2896] for us to do[H6213].
15. So I took[H3947] the heads[H7218] of your tribes[H7626], wise[H2450] men[H582], and known[H3045], and made[H5414] them heads[H7218] over you[H8269], captains of thousands[H505], and captains[H8269] of hundreds[H3967], and captains[H8269] of fifties[H2572], and captains[H8269] of tens[H6235], and officers[H7860], according to your tribes[H7626].
16. And I charged[H6680] your judges[H8199] at that time[H6256], saying[H559], Hear[H8085] the causes between your brethren[H251], and judge[H8199] righteously[H6664] between a man[H376] and his brother[H251], and the sojourner that is with him[H1616].
17. Ye shall not respect[H5234] persons[H6440] in judgment[H4941]; ye shall hear[H8085] the small[H6996] and the great[H1419] alike[H1481]; ye shall not be afraid of the face[H6440] of man[H376]; for the judgment[H4941] is God[H430]'s: and the cause[H1697] that is too hard[H7185] for you ye shall bring[H7126] unto me[H8085], and I will hear it.
18. And I commanded[H6680] you at that time[H6256] all the things[H1697] which ye should do[H6213].
19. And we journeyed[H5265] from Horeb[H2722], and went through[H3212] all that great[H1419] and terrible[H3372] wilderness[H4057] which ye saw[H7200], by the way[H1870] to the hill-country[H2022] of the Amorites[H567], as Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430] commanded[H6680] us[H935]; and we came to Kadesh-barnea[H6947].
20. And I said[H559] unto you[H935], Ye are come unto the hill-country[H2022] of the Amorites[H567], which Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430] giveth unto us[H5414].
21. Behold[H7200], Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] hath set[H5414] the land[H776] before[H6440] thee[H5927]: go up, take possession[H3423], as Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of thy fathers[H1], hath spoken[H1696] unto thee[H3372]; fear not[H2865], neither be dismayed.
22. And ye came near[H7126] unto me every one of you[H559], and said, Let us send[H7971] men[H582] before[H6440] us[H2658], that they may search the land[H776] for us[H7725], and bring us word[H1697] again[H7725] of the way[H1870] by which we must go up[H5927], and the cities[H5892] unto which we shall come[H935].
23. And the thing[H1697] pleased me well[H3190]; and I took[H3947] twelve[H8147] men[H582] of you[H259], one man for every tribe[H376]:
24. and they turned[H6437] and went up[H5927] into the hill-country[H2022], and came[H935] unto the valley[H5158] of Eshcol[H812], and spied it out[H7270].
25. And they took[H3947] of the fruit[H6529] of the land[H776] in their hands[H3027], and brought it down[H3381] unto us[H7725], and brought us word[H1697] again[H7725], and said[H559], It is a good[H2896] land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430] giveth unto us[H5414].
26. Yet ye would[H14] not go up[H5927], but rebelled[H4784] against the commandment[H6310] of Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430]:
27. and ye murmured[H7279] in your tents[H168], and said[H559], Because Jehovah[H3068] hated[H8135] us[H3318], he hath brought us forth out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], to deliver[H5414] us into the hand[H3027] of the Amorites[H567], to destroy us[H8045].
28. Whither are we going up[H5927]? our brethren[H251] have made our heart[H3824] to melt[H4549], saying[H559], The people[H5971] are greater[H1419] and taller[H7311] than we[H5892]; the cities are great[H1419] and fortified up[H1219] to heaven[H8064]; and moreover we have seen[H7200] the sons[H1121] of the Anakim there[H6062].
29. Then I said[H559] unto you[H6206], Dread not[H3372], neither be afraid of them.
30. Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430] who goeth[H1980] before[H6440] you[H3898], he will fight for you[H6213], according to all that he did for you in Egypt[H4714] before your eyes[H5869],
31. and in the wilderness[H4057], where thou hast seen[H7200] how that Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] bare[H5375] thee[H376], as a man doth bear[H5375] his son[H1121], in all the way[H1870] that ye went[H1980], until ye came[H935] unto this place[H4725].
32. Yet in this thing[H1697] ye did not believe[H539] Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430],
33. who went[H1980] before[H6440] you in the way[H1870], to seek you out[H8446] a place[H4725] to pitch your tents[H2583] in[H784], in fire by night[H3915], to show[H7200] you by what way[H1870] ye should go[H3212], and in the cloud[H6051] by day[H3119].
34. And Jehovah[H3068] heard[H8085] the voice[H6963] of your words[H1697], and was wroth[H7107], and sware[H7650], saying[H559],
35. Surely there shall not one[H376] of these men[H582] of this evil[H7451] generation[H1755] see[H7200] the good[H2896] land[H776], which I sware[H7650] to give[H5414] unto your fathers[H1],
36. save[H2108] Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312]: he shall see[H7200] it[H5414]; and to him will I give the land[H776] that[H834] he hath trodden upon[H1869], and to his children[H1121], because he hath wholly[H4390] followed[H310] Jehovah[H3068].
37. Also Jehovah[H3068] was angry[H599] with me for your sakes[H1558], saying[H559], Thou also shalt not go[H935] in thither[H8033]:
38. 60[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], who standeth[H5975] before[H6440] thee[H935], he shall go in thither[H2388]: encourage thou him[H3478]; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it[H5157].
39. Moreover your little ones[H2945], that ye said[H559] should be a prey[H957], and your children[H1121], that this day[H3117] have no knowledge[H3045] of good[H2896] or evil[H7451], they shall go in[H935] thither[H5414], and unto them will I give it[H3423], and they shall possess it.
40. But as for you[H6437], turn you[H5265], and take your journey into the wilderness[H4057] by the way[H1870] to the Red[H5488] Sea[H3220].
41. Then ye answered[H6030] and said[H559] unto me[H2398], We have sinned against Jehovah[H3068], we will go up[H5927] and fight[H3898], according to all that Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430] commanded[H6680] us[H2296]. And ye girded on every man[H376] his weapons[H3627] of war[H4421], and were forward[H1951] to go up[H5927] into the hill-country[H2022].
42. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto me[H559], Say unto them[H5927], Go not up, neither fight[H3898]; for I am not among[H7130] you[H5062]; lest ye be smitten before[H6440] your enemies[H341].
43. So I spake[H1696] unto you[H8085], and ye hearkened not[H4784]; but ye rebelled against the commandment[H6310] of Jehovah[H3068], and were presumptuous[H2102], and went[H5927] up[H5927] into the hill-country[H2022].
44. And the Amorites[H567], that dwelt[H3427] in that hill-country[H2022], came out[H3318] against[H7125] you[H7291], and chased you[H1682], as bees do[H6213], and beat[H3807] you down in Seir[H8165], even unto Hormah[H2767].
45. And ye returned[H7725] and wept[H1058] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]; but Jehovah[H3068] hearkened[H8085] not to your voice[H6963], nor gave ear unto you[H238].
46. So ye abode[H3427] in Kadesh[H6946] many[H7227] days[H3117], according unto the days[H3117] that ye abode there[H3427].
