11 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 .
12 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of
mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea .
13 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 .
14 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 .
15 On this side Jordan in the land of Moab began Moses to
declare this law saying .
16 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb saying Ye have
dwelt long enough in this mount .
17 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 .
18 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 .
19 And I spake unto you at that time saying I am not able to
bear you myself alone .
110 The LORD your God hath multiplied you and behold ye are
this day as the stars of heaven for multitude .
111 (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 .
112 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance and your burden
and your strife .
113 Take you wise men and understanding and known among your
tribes and I will make them rulers over you .
114 And ye answered me and said The thing which thou hast
spoken is good for us to do .
115 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 .
116 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 .
117 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 .
118 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye
should do .
119 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 .
120 And I said unto you Ye are come unto the mountain of the
Amorites which the LORD our God doth give unto us .
121 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 .
122 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 .
123 And the saying pleased me well and I took twelve men of
you one of a tribe .
124 And they turned and went up into the mountain and came
unto the valley of Eshcol and searched it out .
125 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 .
126 Notwithstanding ye would not go up but rebelled against
the commandment of the LORD your God .
127 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 .
128 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 .
129 Then I said unto you Dread not neither be afraid of them .
130 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 .
131 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 .
132 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God .
133 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 .
134 And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was wroth
and sware saying .
135 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your
fathers .
136 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 .
137 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes saying Thou
also shalt not go in thither .
138 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 .
139 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 .
140 But as for you turn you and take your journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Red sea .
141 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 .
142 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 .
143 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 .
144 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 .
145 And ye returned and wept before the LORD but the LORD
would not hearken to your voice nor give ear unto you .
146 So ye abode in Kadesh many days according unto the days
that ye abode there .
* 21 Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by
the way of the Red sea as the LORD spake unto me and we
compassed mount Seir many days .
22 And the LORD spake unto me saying .
23 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough turn you
northward .
24 And command thou the people saying Ye are to pass through
the coast of your brethren the children of Esau which dwell in
Seir and they shall be afraid of you take ye good heed unto
yourselves therefore .
25 Meddle not with them for I will not give you of their land
no not so much as a foot breadth because I have given mount Seir
unto Esau for a possession .
26 Ye shall buy meat of them for money that ye may eat and ye
shall also buy water of them for money that ye may drink .
27 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of
thy hand he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness
these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee thou hast
lacked nothing .
28 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of
Esau which dwelt in Seir through the way of the plain from Elath
and from Eziongaber we turned and passed by the way of the
wilderness of Moab .
29 And the LORD said unto me Distress not the Moabites neither
contend with them in battle for I will not give thee of their
land for a possession because I have given Ar unto the children
of Lot for a possession .
210 The Emims dwelt therein in times past a people great and
many and tall as the Anakims .
211 Which also were accounted giants as the Anakims but the
Moabites call them Emims .
212 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime but the children
of Esau succeeded them when they had destroyed them from before
them and dwelt in their stead as Israel did unto the land of his
possession which the LORD gave unto them .
213 Now rise up said I and get you over the brook Zered And we
went over the brook Zered .
214 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea until we
were come over the brook Zered was thirty and eight years until
all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among
the host as the LORD sware unto them .
215 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them to
destroy them from among the host until they were consumed .
216 So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed
and dead from among the people .
217 That the LORD spake unto me saying .
218 Thou art to pass over through Ar the coast of Moab this
day .
219 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of
Ammon distress them not nor meddle with them for I will not give
thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession because
I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession .
220 (That also was accounted a land of giants giants dwelt
therein in old time and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims .
221 A people great and many and tall as the Anakims but the
LORD destroyed them before them and they succeeded them and
dwelt in their stead .
222 As he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir when
