`Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you -- of dwelling in this mount;

7 t urn and take your journey and go to the mount of the Amorite and unto all the places nearby, in the plain, in the hills, and in the valleys and to the Negev and by the sea side to the land of the Canaanite and unto Lebanon unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;

8 B ehold, I have given the land in your presence; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give unto them and to their seed after them.

see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.

9 ¶ And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone;

`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;

10 t he LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;

11 L et the LORD God of your fathers add upon you a thousand times so many more as ye are and bless you, as he has promised!

Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye, a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.

12 H ow can I myself alone bear your troubles and your burdens and your strife?

`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

13 G ive me from among you, of your tribes, wise and understanding and expert men, and I will make them the head over you.

Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;

14 A nd ye answered me and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

and ye answer me and say, Good the thing which thou hast spoken -- to do.

15 S o I took the principals of your tribes, wise men and experts, and made them princes over you, princes over thousands and princes over hundreds and princes over fifties and princes over tens and officers among your tribes.

`And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

16 A nd 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.

And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren -- then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

17 Y e 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.

ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

18 A nd I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye 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 Amorite, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.

`And we journey from Horeb, and go all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen -- the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

20 T hen I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorite, which the LORD our God gives unto us.

`And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;

21 B ehold, the LORD thy God has given the land before thee; go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers has said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.

22 A nd ye came near unto me every one of you and said, We will send men before us, and they shall spy us out the land and bring us word again by what way we must go up and into what cities we shall come.

`And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;

23 A nd the saying seemed good unto me, and I took twelve men of you, one of each tribe.

and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

24 A nd they turned and went up into the mountain and came unto the valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.

`And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,

25 A nd 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 gives us.

and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

26 N otwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God;

`And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,

27 a nd ye murmured in your tents and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite, to destroy us.

and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite -- to destroy us;

28 W here shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, This 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.

whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim -- we have seen there.

29 T hen I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

`And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;

30 T he LORD your God who goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did with you in Egypt before your eyes;

Jehovah your God, who is going before you -- He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

31 a nd in the wilderness thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went until ye came into this place.

and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.

32 Y et with all this ye did not believe in the LORD your God,

`And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,

33 w ho went in the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents, with fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and with a cloud by day.

who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.

34 A nd the LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry and swore, saying,

`And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,

35 S urely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers,

Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

36 e xcept Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his sons, because he has perfectly followed the LORD.

save Caleb son of Jephunneh -- he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.

37 A lso the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou shalt not go in there either.

`Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;

38 B ut Joshua, the son of Nun, who stands before thee, he shall go in there; encourage him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.

39 M oreover your little ones, whom ye said should be a prey and your children who in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and unto them will I give it, and they shall inherit it.

`And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

40 B ut as for you, return and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.

41 T hen 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 has commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the mountain.

`And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we -- we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;

42 A nd the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Do not go up or fight, for I am not among you, lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.

43 S o I spoke unto you, and ye would not hear but were rebels against the word of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

`And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;

44 A nd the Amorite, who dwelt in that mountain, came out against you and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir -- unto Hormah.

45 A nd ye returned and wept before the LORD, but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

`And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;

46 S o ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt.
