These be the words¹⁶⁹⁷ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan³³⁸³ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ in the plain⁶¹⁶⁰ over against⁴¹³⁶ the Red⁵⁴⁸⁹ sea, between Paran,⁶²⁹⁰ and Tophel,⁸⁶⁰³ and Laban,³⁸³⁷ and Hazeroth,²⁶⁹⁸ and Dizahab.¹⁷⁷⁴

(There are eleven²⁵⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey from Horeb²⁷²² by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of mount²⁰²² Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ unto Kadeshbarnea.)⁶⁹⁴⁷

And it came to pass in the fortieth⁷⁰⁵ year,⁸¹⁴¹ in the eleventh⁶²⁴⁹ month,²³²⁰ on the first²⁵⁹ day of the month,²³²⁰ that Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ according unto all that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had given him in commandment⁶⁶⁸⁰ unto them;

After³¹⁰ he had slain⁵²²¹ Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and Og⁵⁷⁴⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Bashan,¹³¹⁶ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Astaroth⁶²⁵² in Edrei:¹⁵⁴

On this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan,³³⁸³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ began²⁹⁷⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² to declare⁸⁷⁴ this law,⁸⁴⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹

Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim⁴³⁰ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto us in Horeb,²⁷²² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye have dwelt³⁴²⁷ long enough⁷²²⁷ in this mount:²⁰²²

Turn⁶⁴³⁷ you, and take your journey,⁵²⁶⁵ and go⁹³⁵ to the mount²⁰²² of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and unto all the places nigh⁷⁹³⁴ thereunto, in the plain,⁶¹⁶⁰ in the hills,²⁰²² and in the vale,⁸²¹⁹ and in the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and by the sea³²²⁰ side,²³⁴⁸ to the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ and unto Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ unto the great¹⁴¹⁹ river,⁵¹⁰⁴ the river⁵¹⁰⁴ Euphrates.⁶⁵⁷⁸

Behold,⁷²⁰⁰ I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you: go in⁹³⁵ and possess³⁴²³ the land⁷⁷⁶ which Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto your fathers,¹ Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and Jacob,³²⁹⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto them and to their seed²²³³ after³¹⁰ them.

And I spake⁵⁵⁹ unto you at that time,⁶²⁵⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ I am not able³²⁰¹ to bear⁵³⁷⁵ you myself alone:⁹⁰⁵

Hosea 1:10

Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim⁴³⁰ hath multiplied⁷²³⁵ you, and, behold, ye are this day³¹¹⁷ as the stars³⁵⁵⁶ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ for multitude.⁷²³⁰

(Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of your fathers¹ make you a thousand⁵⁰⁵ times⁶⁴⁷¹ so many more as³²⁵⁴ ye are, and bless¹²⁸⁸ you, as he hath promised¹⁶⁹⁶ you!)

How³⁴⁹ can I myself alone bear⁵³⁷⁵ your cumbrance,²⁹⁶⁰ and your burden,⁴⁸⁵³ and your strife?⁷³⁷⁹

Take³⁰⁵¹ you wise²⁴⁵⁰ men,⁵⁸² and understanding,⁹⁹⁵ and known³⁰⁴⁵ among your tribes,⁷⁶²⁶ and I will make⁷⁷⁶⁰ them rulers⁷²¹⁸ over you.

And ye answered⁶⁰³⁰ me, and said,⁵⁵⁹ The thing¹⁶⁹⁷ which thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ is good²⁸⁹⁶ for us to do.⁶²¹³

So I took³⁹⁴⁷ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of your tribes,⁷⁶²⁶ wise²⁴⁵⁰ men,⁵⁸² and known,³⁰⁴⁵ and made⁵⁴¹⁴ them heads⁷²¹⁸ over you, captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over fifties,²⁵⁷² and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over tens,⁶²³⁵ and officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ among your tribes.⁷⁶²⁶

And I charged⁶⁶⁸⁰ your judges⁸¹⁹⁹ at that time,⁶²⁵⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the causes between your brethren,²⁵¹ and judge⁸¹⁹⁹ righteously⁶⁶⁶⁴ between every man³⁷⁶ and his brother,²⁵¹ and the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that is with him.

Deuteronomy 16:18-20

Ye shall not respect⁵²³⁴ persons⁶⁴⁴⁰ in judgment;⁴⁹⁴¹ but ye shall hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the small⁶⁹⁹⁶ as well as the great;¹⁴¹⁹ ye shall not be afraid¹⁴⁸¹ of the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of man;³⁷⁶ for the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ is Elohim's:⁴³⁰ and the cause¹⁶⁹⁷ that is too hard⁷¹⁸⁵ for you, bring⁷¹²⁶ it unto me, and I will hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ it.

James 2:1-4; 1 Timothy 5:21; Leviticus 19:15; James 1:9; Romans 2:11; Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 3:25; 1 Peter 1:17

And I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ you at that time⁶²⁵⁶ all the things¹⁶⁹⁷ which ye should do.⁶²¹³

And when we departed⁵²⁶⁵ from Horeb,²⁷²² we went³²¹² through all that great¹⁴¹⁹ and terrible³³⁷² wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ which ye saw⁷²⁰⁰ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the mountain²⁰²² of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim⁴³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ us; and we came⁹³⁵ to Kadeshbarnea.⁶⁹⁴⁷

And I said⁵⁵⁹ unto you, Ye are come⁹³⁵ unto the mountain²⁰²² of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ which Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim⁴³⁰ doth give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto us.

Behold,⁷²⁰⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohim⁴³⁰ hath set⁵⁴¹⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: go up⁵⁹²⁷ and possess³⁴²³ it, as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of thy fathers¹ hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee; fear³³⁷² not, neither be discouraged.²⁸⁶⁵

And ye came near⁷¹²⁶ unto me every one of you, and said,⁵⁵⁹ We will send⁷⁹⁷¹ men⁵⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us, and they shall search us out²⁶⁵⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and bring us word¹⁶⁹⁷ again⁷⁷²⁵ by what way¹⁸⁷⁰ we must go up,⁵⁹²⁷ and into what cities⁵⁸⁹² we shall come.⁹³⁵

And the saying¹⁶⁹⁷ pleased³¹⁹⁰ me well:⁵⁸⁶⁹ and I took³⁹⁴⁷ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ men⁵⁸² of you, one²⁵⁹ of a tribe:³⁷⁶

And they turned⁶⁴³⁷ and went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the mountain,²⁰²² and came⁹³⁵ unto the valley⁵¹⁵⁸ of Eshcol,⁸¹² and searched it out.⁷²⁷⁰

And they took³⁹⁴⁷ of the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ in their hands,³⁰²⁷ and brought it down³³⁸¹ unto us, and brought us word¹⁶⁹⁷ again,⁷⁷²⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is a good²⁸⁹⁶ land⁷⁷⁶ which Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim⁴³⁰ doth give⁵⁴¹⁴ us.

Notwithstanding ye would¹⁴ not go up,⁵⁹²⁷ but rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim:⁴³⁰

1 Corinthians 10:10; Philippians 2:14

And ye murmured⁷²⁷⁹ in your tents,¹⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Because Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hated⁸¹³⁵ us, he hath brought us forth³³¹⁸ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ to deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ us into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ to destroy⁸⁰⁴⁵ us.

Whither shall we go up?⁵⁹²⁷ our brethren²⁵¹ have discouraged⁴⁵⁴⁹ our heart,³⁸²⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The people⁵⁹⁷¹ is greater¹⁴¹⁹ and taller⁷³¹¹ than we; the cities⁵⁸⁹² are great¹⁴¹⁹ and walled up¹²¹⁹ to heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and moreover we have seen⁷²⁰⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of the Anakims⁶⁰⁶² there.

Then I said⁵⁵⁹ unto you, Dread⁶²⁰⁶ not, neither be afraid³³⁷² of them.

Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim⁴³⁰ which goeth¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, he shall fight³⁸⁹⁸ for you, according to all that he did⁶²¹³ for you in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ before your eyes;⁵⁸⁶⁹

And in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ where thou hast seen⁷²⁰⁰ how that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohim⁴³⁰ bare⁵³⁷⁵ thee, as a man³⁷⁶ doth bear⁵³⁷⁵ his son,¹¹²¹ in all the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that ye went,¹⁹⁸⁰ until ye came⁹³⁵ into this place.⁴⁷²⁵

Yet in this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ ye did not believe⁵³⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim,⁴³⁰

Exodus 13:21

Who went¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, to search⁸⁴⁴⁶ you out a place⁴⁷²⁵ to pitch your tents²⁵⁸³ in, in fire⁷⁸⁴ by night,³⁹¹⁵ to shew⁷²⁰⁰ you by what way¹⁸⁷⁰ ye should go,³²¹² and in a cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ by day.³¹¹⁹

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of your words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and was wroth,⁷¹⁰⁷ and sware,⁷⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

Surely there shall not one³⁷⁶ of these men⁵⁸² of this evil⁷⁴⁵¹ generation¹⁷⁵⁵ see⁷²⁰⁰ that good²⁸⁹⁶ land,⁷⁷⁶ which I sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto your fathers,¹

Save²¹⁰⁸ Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh;³³¹² he shall see⁷²⁰⁰ it, and to him will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ that he hath trodden¹⁸⁶⁹ upon, and to his children,¹¹²¹ because⁸³⁴ he hath wholly⁴³⁹⁰ followed³¹⁰ Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Also Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was angry⁵⁹⁹ with me for your sakes,¹⁵⁵⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thou also shalt not go in⁹³⁵ thither.⁸⁰³³

But Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ which standeth⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, he shall go in⁹³⁵ thither: encourage²³⁸⁸ him: for he shall cause Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ it.

Moreover your little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ which ye said⁵⁵⁹ should be a prey,⁹⁵⁷ and your children,¹¹²¹ which in that day³¹¹⁷ had no knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ between good²⁸⁹⁶ and evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ they shall go in⁹³⁵ thither, and unto them will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ it, and they shall possess³⁴²³ it.

Numbers 14:29

But as for you, turn⁶⁴³⁷ you, and take your journey⁵²⁶⁵ into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea.³²²⁰

Then ye answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, We have sinned²³⁹⁸ against Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ we will go up⁵⁹²⁷ and fight,³⁸⁹⁸ according to all that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim⁴³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ us. And when ye had girded²²⁹⁶ on every man³⁷⁶ his weapons³⁶²⁷ of war,⁴⁴²¹ ye were ready¹⁹⁵¹ to go up⁵⁹²⁷ into the hill.²⁰²²

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Go not up,⁵⁹²⁷ neither fight;³⁸⁹⁸ for I am not among⁷¹³⁰ you; lest ye be smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ your enemies.³⁴¹

So I spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto you; and ye would not hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ but rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and went presumptuously²¹⁰² up⁵⁹²⁷ into the hill.²⁰²²

And the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ in that mountain,²⁰²² came out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ you, and chased⁷²⁹¹ you, as bees¹⁶⁸² do,⁶²¹³ and destroyed³⁸⁰⁷ you in Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ even unto Hormah.²⁷⁶⁷

And ye returned⁷⁷²⁵ and wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ but Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to your voice,⁶⁹⁶³ nor give ear²³⁸ unto you.

So ye abode³⁴²⁷ in Kadesh⁶⁹⁴⁶ many⁷²²⁷ days,³¹¹⁷ according unto the days³¹¹⁷ that ye abode³⁴²⁷ there.
