Book 05 Deuteronomy Chapter 001

 

001:001These 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.

 

001:002(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount
Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

 

001:003And 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;

 

001:004After 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:

 

001:005On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to
declare this law, saying,

 

001:006The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt
long enough in this mount:

 

001:007Turn 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.

 

001:008Behold, 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.

 

001:009And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to
bear you myself alone:

 

001:010The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are
this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

 

001:011(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!)

 

001:012How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden,
and your strife?

 

001:013Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your
tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

 

001:014And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken
is good for us to do.

 

001:015So 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.

 

001:016And 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.

 

001:017Ye 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.

 

001:018And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye
should do.

 

001:019And 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.

 

001:020And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the
Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

 

001:021Behold, 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.

 

001:022And 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.

 

001:023And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you,
one of a tribe:

 

001:024And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto
the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

 

001:025And 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.

 

001:026Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the
commandment of the LORD your God:

 

001:027And 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.

 

001:028Whither 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.

 

001:029Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

 

001:030The 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;

 

001:031And 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.

 

001:032Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

 

001:033Who 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.

 

001:034And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and
sware, saying,

 

001:035Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your
fathers.

 

001:036Save 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.

 

001:037Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
also shalt not go in thither.

 

001:038But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he
shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel
to inherit it.

 

001:039Moreover 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.

 

001:040But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

 

001:041Then 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.

 

001:042And 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.

 

001:043So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled
against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously
up into the hill.

 

001:044And 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.

 

001:045And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would
not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

 

001:046So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that
ye abode there.
