Deuteronomy 1 (kjv)

These be the words^H1697 which Moses^H4872 spake^H1696 unto all Israel^H3478 on this side^H5676 Jordan^H3383 in the wilderness^H4057, in the plain^H6160 over against^H4136 the Red^H5489 sea, between Paran^H6290, and Tophel^H8603, and Laban^H3837, and Hazeroth^H2698, and Dizahab^H1774.²(There are eleven^{H259 H6240} days^H3117' journey from Horeb^H2722 by the way^H1870 of mount^H2022 Seir^H8165 unto Kadeshbarnea^H6947.)³And it came to pass in the fortieth^H705 year^H8141, in the eleventh^{H6249 H6240} month^H2320, on the first^H259 day of the month^H2320, that Moses^H4872 spake^H1696 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, according unto all that the LORD^H3068 had given him in commandment^H6680 unto them;⁴After^H310 he had slain^H5221 Sihon^H5511 the king^H4428 of the Amorites^H567, which dwelt^H3427 in Heshbon^H2809, and Og^H5747 the king^H4428 of Bashan^H1316, which dwelt^H3427 at Astaroth^H6252 in Edrei^H154:⁵On this side^H5676 Jordan^H3383, in the land^H776 of Moab^H4124, began^H2974 Moses^H4872 to declare^H874 this law^H8451, saying^H559,

⁶The LORD^H3068 our God^H430 spake^H1696 unto us in Horeb^H2722, saying^H559, Ye have dwelt^H3427 long enough^H7227 in this mount^H2022:⁷Turn^H6437 you, and take your journey^H5265, and go^H935 to the mount^H2022 of the Amorites^H567, and unto all the places nigh^H7934 thereunto, in the plain^H6160, in the hills^H2022, and in the vale^H8219, and in the south^H5045, and by the sea^H3220 side^H2348, to the land^H776 of the Canaanites^H3669, and unto Lebanon^H3844, unto the great^H1419 river^H5104, the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578.⁸Behold^H7200, I have set^H5414 the land^H776 before^H6440 you: go^H935 in and possess^H3423 the land^H776 which the LORD^H3068 sware^H7650 unto your fathers^H1, Abraham^H85, Isaac^H3327, and Jacob^H3290, to give^H5414 unto them and to their seed^H2233 after^H310 them.⁹And I spake^H559 unto you at that time^H6256, saying^H559, I am not able^H3201 to bear^H5375 you myself alone^H905:¹⁰The LORD^H3068 your God^H430 hath multiplied^H7235 you, and, behold, ye are this day^H3117 as the stars^H3556 of heaven^H8064 for multitude^H7230.¹¹(The LORD^H3068 God^H430 of your fathers^H1 make you a thousand^H505 times^H6471 so many more as^H3254 ye are, and bless^H1288 you, as he hath promised^H1696 you!)¹²How^H349 can I myself alone bear^H5375 your cumbrance^H2960, and your burden^H4853, and your strife^H7379?¹³Take^H3051 you wise^H2450 men^H582, and understanding^H995, and known^H3045 among your tribes^H7626, and I will make^H7760 them rulers^H7218 over you.

¹⁴And ye answered^H6030 me, and said^H559, The thing^H1697 which thou hast spoken^H1696 is good^H2896 for us to do^H6213.¹⁵So I took^H3947 the chief^H7218 of your tribes^H7626, wise^H2450 men^H582, and known^H3045, and made^H5414 them heads^H7218 over you, captains^H8269 over thousands^H505, and captains^H8269 over hundreds^H3967, and captains^H8269 over fifties^H2572, and captains^H8269 over tens^H6235, and officers^H7860 among your tribes^H7626.¹⁶And I charged^H6680 your judges^H8199 at that time^H6256, saying^H559, Hear^H8085 the causes between your brethren^H251, and judge^H8199 righteously^H6664 between every man^H376 and his brother^H251, and the stranger^H1616 that is with him.¹⁷Ye shall not respect^H5234 persons^H6440 in judgment^H4941; but ye shall hear^H8085 the small^H6996 as well as the great^H1419; ye shall not be afraid^H1481 of the face^H6440 of man^H376; for the judgment^H4941 is God's^H430: and the cause^H1697 that is too hard^H7185 for you, bring^H7126 it unto me, and I will hear^H8085 it.¹⁸And I commanded^H6680 you at that time^H6256 all the things^H1697 which ye should do^H6213.

¹⁹And when we departed^H5265 from Horeb^H2722, we went through^H3212 all that great^H1419 and terrible^H3372 wilderness^H4057, which ye saw^H7200 by the way^H1870 of the mountain^H2022 of the Amorites^H567, as the LORD^H3068 our God^H430 commanded^H6680 us; and we came^H935 to Kadeshbarnea^H6947.²⁰And I said^H559 unto you, Ye are come^H935 unto the mountain^H2022 of the Amorites^H567, which the LORD^H3068 our God^H430 doth give^H5414 unto us.²¹Behold^H7200, the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 hath set^H5414 the land^H776 before^H6440 thee: go up^H5927 and possess^H3423 it, as the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of thy fathers^H1 hath said^H1696 unto thee; fear^H3372 not, neither be discouraged^H2865.²²And ye came near^H7126 unto me every one of you, and said^H559, We will send^H7971 men^H582 before^H6440 us, and they shall search us out^H2658 the land^H776, and bring^H7725 us word^H1697 again^H7725 by what way^H1870 we must go up^H5927, and into what cities^H5892 we shall come^H935.²³And the saying^H1697 pleased me well^{H3190 H5869}: and I took^H3947 twelve^{H8147 H6240} men^H582 of you, one^H259 of a tribe^{H376 H7626}:²⁴And they turned^H6437 and went up^H5927 into the mountain^H2022, and came^H935 unto the valley^H5158 of Eshcol^H812, and searched it out^H7270.²⁵And they took^H3947 of the fruit^H6529 of the land^H776 in their hands^H3027, and brought it down^H3381 unto us, and brought^H7725 us word^H1697 again^H7725, and said^H559, It is a good^H2896 land^H776 which the LORD^H3068 our God^H430 doth give^H5414 us.²⁶Notwithstanding ye would^H14 not go up^H5927, but rebelled^H4784 against the commandment^H6310 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430:²⁷And ye murmured^H7279 in your tents^H168, and said^H559, Because the LORD^H3068 hated^H8135 us, he hath brought us forth^H3318 out of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, to deliver^H5414 us into the hand^H3027 of the Amorites^H567, to destroy^H8045 us.²⁸Whither shall we go up^H5927? our brethren^H251 have discouraged^H4549 our heart^H3824, saying^H559, The people^H5971 is greater^H1419 and taller^H7311 than we; the cities^H5892 are great^H1419 and walled up^H1219 to heaven^H8064; and moreover we have seen^H7200 the sons^H1121 of the Anakims^H6062 there.²⁹Then I said^H559 unto you, Dread^H6206 not, neither be afraid^H3372 of them.³⁰The LORD^H3068 your God^H430 which goeth^H1980 before^H6440 you, he shall fight^H3898 for you, according to all that he did^H6213 for you in Egypt^H4714 before your eyes^H5869;³¹And in the wilderness^H4057, where thou hast seen^H7200 how that the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 bare^H5375 thee, as a man^H376 doth bear^H5375 his son^H1121, in all the way^H1870 that ye went^H1980, until ye came^H935 into this place^H4725.³²Yet in this thing^H1697 ye did not believe^H539 the LORD^H3068 your God^H430,³³Who went^H1980 in the way^H1870 before^H6440 you, to search you out^H8446 a place^H4725 to pitch your tents^H2583 in, in fire^H784 by night^H3915, to shew^H7200 you by what way^H1870 ye should go^H3212, and in a cloud^H6051 by day^H3119.

³⁴And the LORD^H3068 heard^H8085 the voice^H6963 of your words^H1697, and was wroth^H7107, and sware^H7650, saying^H559,³⁵Surely there shall not one^H376 of these men^H582 of this evil^H7451 generation^H1755 see^H7200 that good^H2896 land^H776, which I sware^H7650 to give^H5414 unto your fathers^H1,³⁶Save^H2108 Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312; he shall see^H7200 it, and to him will I give^H5414 the land^H776 that^H834 he hath trodden upon^H1869, and to his children^H1121, because he hath wholly^H4390 followed^H310 the LORD^H3068.³⁷Also the LORD^H3068 was angry^H599 with me for your sakes^H1558, saying^H559, Thou also shalt not go^H935 in thither^H8033.³⁸But Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126, which standeth^H5975 before^H6440 thee, he shall go in^H935 thither: encourage^H2388 him: for he shall cause Israel^H3478 to inherit^H5157 it.³⁹Moreover your little ones^H2945, which ye said^H559 should be a prey^H957, and your children^H1121, which in that day^H3117 had no knowledge^H3045 between good^H2896 and evil^H7451, they shall go in^H935 thither, and unto them will I give^H5414 it, and they shall possess^H3423 it.⁴⁰But as for you, turn^H6437 you, and take your journey^H5265 into the wilderness^H4057 by the way^H1870 of the Red^H5488 sea^H3220.

⁴¹Then ye answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto me, We have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, we will go up^H5927 and fight^H3898, according to all that the LORD^H3068 our God^H430 commanded^H6680 us. And when ye had girded^H2296 on every man^H376 his weapons^H3627 of war^H4421, ye were ready^H1951 to go up^H5927 into the hill^H2022.⁴²And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Say^H559 unto them, Go not up^H5927, neither fight^H3898; for I am not among^H7130 you; lest ye be smitten^H5062 before^H6440 your enemies^H341.⁴³So I spake^H1696 unto you; and ye would not hear^H8085, but rebelled^H4784 against the commandment^H6310 of the LORD^H3068, and went^H5927 presumptuously^H2102 up^H5927 into the hill^H2022.⁴⁴And the Amorites^H567, which dwelt^H3427 in that mountain^H2022, came out^H3318 against^H7125 you, and chased^H7291 you, as bees^H1682 do^H6213, and destroyed^H3807 you in Seir^H8165, even unto Hormah^H2767.⁴⁵And ye returned^H7725 and wept^H1058 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068; but the LORD^H3068 would not hearken^H8085 to your voice^H6963, nor give ear^H238 unto you.⁴⁶So ye abode^H3427 in Kadesh^H6946 many^H7227 days^H3117, according unto the days^H3117 that ye abode^H3427 there.
