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. [the Red...: or, Zuph]
			2	( There are eleven# days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
			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;
			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:
			5	On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began# Moses to declare# this law, saying# ,
			6	The LORD our God spake# unto us in Horeb, saying# , Ye have dwelt# long enough in this mount:
			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. [all...: Heb. all his neighbours]
			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. [set: Heb. given]
			9	And I spake# unto you at that time, saying# , I am not able# to bear# you myself alone:
			10	The LORD your God hath multiplied# you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
			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!)
			12	How can I myself alone bear# your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
			13	Take# you wise men, and understanding# , and known# among your tribes, and I will make# them rulers over you. [Take: Heb. Give]
			14	And ye answered# me, and said# , The thing which thou hast spoken# is good for us to do# .
			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. [made: Heb. gave]
			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.
			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. [respect...: Heb. acknowledge faces]
			18	And I commanded# you at that time all the things which ye should do# .
			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.
			20	And I said# unto you, Ye are come# unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give# unto us.
			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# .
			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# .
			23	And the saying pleased me well# # : and I took# twelve# men of you, one of a tribe# :
			24	And they turned# and went up# into the mountain, and came# unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out# .
			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.
			26	Notwithstanding ye would# not go up# , but rebelled# against the commandment of the LORD your God:
			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.
			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. [discouraged: Heb. melted]
			29	Then I said# unto you, Dread# not, neither be afraid# of them.
			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;
			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.
			32	Yet in this thing ye did not believe# the LORD your God,
			33	Who 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.
			34	And the LORD heard# the voice of your words, and was wroth# , and sware# , saying# ,
			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,
			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. [wholly...: Heb. fulfilled to go after]
			37	Also the LORD was angry# with me for your sakes, saying# , Thou also shalt not go# in thither.
			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.
			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.
			40	But as for you, turn# you, and take your journey# into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
			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.
			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# .
			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. [went...: Heb. ye were presumptuous, and went up]
			44	And 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.
			45	And ye returned# and wept# before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken# to your voice, nor give ear# unto you.
			46	So ye abode# in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode# there .
