Deuteronomy 1
[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. [2] (There are
eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto
Kadesh-barnea.)
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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 Kadesh-barnea.
[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.
[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.
[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. [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.

Deuteronomy 2
[1] 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.
[2] And the LORD spake unto me, saying, [3] Ye have compassed this mountain
long enough: turn you northward. [4] 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: [5] 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.
[6] 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. [7] 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. [8] 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 Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of
the wilderness of Moab. [9] 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.
[10] The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and
tall, as the Anakims;
[11] Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites
call them Emims.
[12] 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.
[13] Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went
over the brook Zered.
[14] And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, 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.
[15] For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from
among the host, until they were consumed. [16] So it came to pass, when all
the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
[17] That the LORD spake unto me, saying, [18] Thou art to pass over
through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: [19] 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.
[20] (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old
time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; [21] 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:
[22] As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he
destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt
in their stead even unto this day:
[23] And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims,
which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
[24] Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold,
I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his
land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. [25] This day
will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations
that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall
tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. [26] And I sent messengers out
of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of
peace, saying, [27] Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the
high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. [28]
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for
money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet; [29] (As the
children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar,
did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD
our God giveth us.
[30] But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD
thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might
deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. [31] And the LORD said
unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin
to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. [32] Then Sihon came out
against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
[33] And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and
his sons, and all his people.
[34] And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the
men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to
remain: [35] Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the
spoil of the cities which we took.
[36] From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the
city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too
strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us: [37] Only unto the
land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the
river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the
LORD our God forbad us.

Deuteronomy 3
[1] Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of
Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. [2]
And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all
his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou
didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. [3] So the
LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all
his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
[4] And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we
took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom
of Og in Bashan.
[5] All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside
unwalled towns a great many.
[6] And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. [7] But all
the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
[8] And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon
unto mount Hermon;
[9] (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
[10] All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto
Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. [11] For only Og
king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was
a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine
cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the
cubit of a man.
[12] And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is
by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I
unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
[13] And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave
I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all
Bashan, which was called the land of giants. [14] Jair the son of Manasseh
took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and
called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day.
[15] And I gave Gilead unto Machir. [16] And unto the Reubenites and unto
the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley,
and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the
children of Ammon; [17] The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof,
from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under
Ashdoth-pisgah eastward. [18] And I commanded you at that time, saying, The
LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over
armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for
the war. [19] But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I
know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have
given you; [20] Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well
as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God
hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his
possession, which I have given you.
[21] And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all
that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do
unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. [22] Ye shall not fear them:
for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. [23] And I besought the LORD
at that time, saying, [24] O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant
thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in
earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? [25]
I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan,
that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. [26] But the LORD was wroth with me for
your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it
suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
[27] Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes:
for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. [28] But charge Joshua, and
encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people,
and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
[29] So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
