Deuteronomy 1

1 Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year, briefly rehearsing the story, 6 of God's promise, 13 giving them officers, 19 of sending the spies to search the land, 34 of God's anger for their incredulity, 41 and disobedience.

 1:1 These 428 are the words 1697 which 834 Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to all 3605 Israel 3478 across 5676 the Jordan 3383 in the wilderness 4057b, in the Arabah 6160 opposite 4136 Suph 5489, between 996 Paran 6290 and Tophel 8603 and Laban 3837b and Hazeroth 2698 and Dizahab 1774.

 1:2 It is eleven 259 6240 days’ 3117 [journey] from Horeb 2722 by the way 1870 of Mount 2022 Seir 8165 to Kadesh-barnea 6947.

 1:3 In the fortieth 705 year 8141, on the first 259 [day] of the eleventh 6249 6240 month 2320, Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the children 1121 of Israel 3478, according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him [to give] to them,

 1:4 after 310 he had defeated 5221 Sihon 5511 the king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 lived 3427 in Heshbon 2809, and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316, who 834 lived 3427 in Ashtaroth 6252a and Edrei 154.

 1:5 Across 5676 the Jordan 3383 in the land 776 of Moab 4124, Moses 4872 undertook 2974 to expound 874 this 2088 law 8451, saying 559,

 1:6 ¶ “The LORD 3068 our God 430 spoke 1696 to us at Horeb 2722, saying 559, ‘You have stayed 3427 long 7227a enough 7227a at this 2088 mountain 2022.

 1:7 ‘Turn 6437 and set 5265 your journey 5265, and go 935 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567, and to all 3605 their neighbors 7934 in the Arabah 6160, in the hill 2022 country 2022 and in the lowland 8219 and in the Negev 5045 and by the seacoast 3220 2348, the land 776 of the Canaanites 3669a, and Lebanon 3844, as far 5704 as the great 1419 river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578.

 1:8 ‘See 7200, I have placed 5414 the land 776 before 6440 you; go 935 in and possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 swore 7650 to give 5414 to your fathers 1, to Abraham 85, to Isaac 3327, and to Jacob 3290, to them and their descendants 2233 after 310 them.’

 1:9 ¶ “I spoke 559 to you at that time 6256, saying 559, ‘I am not able 3201 to bear 5375 [the burden] of you alone 905.

 1:10 ‘The LORD 3068 your God 430 has multiplied 7235a you, and behold 2009, you are this day 3117 like the stars 3556 of heaven 8064 in number 7230.

 1:11 ‘May the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, increase 3254 you a thousand-fold 505 6471 more 3254 than you are and bless 1288 you, just 3512c as He has promised 1696 you!

 1:12 ‘How 351a can I alone 905 bear 5375 the load 2960 and burden 4853a of you and your strife 7379?

 1:13 ‘Choose 3051 wise 2450 and discerning 995 and experienced 3045 men 376 from your tribes 7626, and I will appoint 7760 them as your heads 7218.’

 1:14 “You answered 6030a me and said 559, ‘The thing 1697 which 834 you have said 1696 to do 6213a is good 2896a.’

 1:15 “So I took 3947 the heads 7218 of your tribes 7626, wise 2450 and experienced 3045 men 376, and appointed 5414 them heads 7218 over 5921 you, leaders 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, of fifties 2572 and of tens 6235, and officers 7860 for your tribes 7626.

 1:16 ¶ “Then I charged 6680 your judges 8199 at that time 6256, saying 559, ‘Hear 8085 [the cases] between 996 your fellow 251 countrymen 251, and judge 8199 righteously 6664 between 996 a man 376 and his fellow 251 countryman 251, or the alien 1616 who is with him.

 1:17 ‘You shall not show 5234 partiality 5234 6440 in judgment 4941; you shall hear 8085 the small 6996b and the great 1419 alike. You shall not fear 1481c man 376, for the judgment 4941 is God’s 430. The case 1697 that is too 4480 hard 7185 for you, you shall bring 7126 to me, and I will hear 8085 it.’

 1:18 “I commanded 6680 you at that time 6256 all 3605 the things 1697 that you should do 6213a.

 1:19 ¶ “Then we set 5265 out from Horeb 2722, and went 1980 through all 3605 that great 1419 and terrible 3372a wilderness 4057b which 834 you saw 7200 on the way 1870 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567, just 3512c as the LORD 3068 our God 430 had commanded 6680 us; and we came 935 to Kadesh-barnea 6947.

 1:20 “I said 559 to you, ‘You have come 935 to the hill 2022 country 2022 of the Amorites 567 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is about to give 5414 us.

 1:21 ‘See 7200, the LORD 3068 your God 430 has placed 5414 the land 776 before 6440 you; go 5927 up, take 3423 possession 3423, as the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, has spoken 1696 to you. Do not fear 3372a or be dismayed 2865.’

 1:22 ¶ “Then all 3605 of you approached 7126 me and said 559, ‘Let us send 7971 men 376 before 6440 us, that they may search 2658 out the land 776 for us, and bring 7725 back 7725 to us word 1697 of the way 1870 by which 834 we should go 5927 up and the cities 5892b which 834 we shall enter 935.’

 1:23 “The thing 1697 pleased 3190 5869 me and I took 3947 twelve 8147 6240 of your men 376, one 259 man 376 for each tribe 7626.

 1:24 “They turned 6437 and went 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022, and came 935 to the valley 5158a of Eshcol 812 and spied 7270 it out.

 1:25 “Then they took 3947 [some] of the fruit 6529 of the land 776 in their hands 3027 and brought 3381 it down 3381 to us; and they brought 7725 us back 7725 a report 1697 and said 559, ‘It is a good 2896a land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is about to give 5414 us.’

 1:26 ¶ “Yet you were not willing 14 to go 5927 up, but rebelled 4784 against 854 the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 your God 430;

 1:27 and you grumbled 7279 in your tents 168 and said 559, ‘Because the LORD 3068 hates 8135 us, He has brought 3318 us out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to deliver 5414 us into the hand 3027 of the Amorites 567 to destroy 8045 us.

 1:28 ‘Where 575 can we go 5927 up? Our brethren 251 have made our hearts 3824 melt 4549, saying 559, “The people 5971a are bigger 1419 and taller 7311 than 4480 we; the cities 5892b are large 1419 and fortified 1219 to heaven 8064. And besides 1571, we saw 7200 the sons 1121 of the Anakim 6062 there 8033.”’

 1:29 “Then I said 559 to you, ‘Do not be shocked 6206, nor 3808 fear 3372a them.

 1:30 ‘The LORD 3068 your God 430 who goes 1980 before 6440 you will Himself 1931 fight 3898a on your behalf, just 3605 834 as He did 6213a for you in Egypt 4714 before your eyes 5869,

 1:31 and in the wilderness 4057b where 834 you saw 7200 how 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 carried 5375 you, just 3512c as a man 376 carries 5375 his son 1121, in all 3605 the way 1870 which 834 you have walked 1980 until 5704 you came 935 to this 2088 place 4725.’

 1:32 “But for all this 2088, you did not trust 539 the LORD 3068 your God 430,

 1:33 who goes 1980 before 6440 you on [your] way 1870, to seek 8446 out a place 4725 for you to encamp 2583, in fire 784 by night 3915 and cloud 6051 by day 3119, to show 7200 you the way 1870 in which 834 you should go 1980.

 1:34 ¶ “Then the LORD 3068 heard 8085 the sound 6963 of your words 1697, and He was angry 7107 and took 7650 an oath 7650, saying 559,

 1:35 ‘Not one 376 of these 428 men 376, this 2088 evil 7451a generation 1755, shall see 7200 the good 2896a land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to give 5414 your fathers 1,

 1:36 except 2108 Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312; he shall see 7200 it, and to him and to his sons 1121 I will give 5414 the land 776 on which 834 he has set 1869 foot 1869, because 3282 834 he has followed 310 the LORD 3068 fully 4390.’

 1:37 “The LORD 3068 was angry 599 with me also 1571 on your account 1558, saying 559, ‘Not even 1571 you shall enter 935 there 8033.

 1:38 ‘Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, who stands 5975 before 6440 you, he shall enter 935 there 8033; encourage 2388 him, for he will cause Israel 3478 to inherit 5157 it.

 1:39 ‘Moreover, your little 2945 ones 2945 who 834 you said 559 would become 1961 a prey 957, and your sons 1121, who 834 this day 3117 have 3045 no 3808 knowledge 3045 of good 2896b or evil 7451b, shall enter 935 there 8033, and I will give 5414 it to them and they shall possess 3423 it.

 1:40 ‘But as for you, turn 6437 around and set 5265 out for the wilderness 4057b by the way 1870 to the Red 5488 3220 Sea 3220.’

 1:41 ¶ “Then you said 559 to me, ‘We have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068; we will indeed go 5927 up and fight 3898a, just 3605 834 as the LORD 3068 our God 430 commanded 6680 us.’ And every 376 man 376 of you girded 2296 on his weapons 3627 of war 4421, and regarded 1951 it as easy 1951 to go 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022.

 1:42 “And the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, ‘Say 559 to them, “Do not go 5927 up nor 3808 fight 3898a, for I am not among 7130 you; otherwise 3808 you will be defeated 5062 before 6440 your enemies 340.”’

 1:43 “So I spoke 1696 to you, but you would not listen 8085. Instead you rebelled 4784 against 854 the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, and acted 2102 presumptuously 2102 and went 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022.

 1:44 “The Amorites 567 who lived 3427 in that hill 2022 country 2022 came 3318 out against 7122 you and chased 7291 you as bees 1682 do 6213a, and crushed 3807 you from Seir 8165 to Hormah 2767.

 1:45 “Then you returned 7725 and wept 1058 before 6440 the LORD 3068; but the LORD 3068 did not listen 8085 to your voice 6963 nor 3808 give 238 ear 238 to you.

 1:46 “So you remained 3427 in Kadesh 6946 many 7227a days 3117, the days 3117 that you spent 3427 [there].
