Deuteronomy
This book was probably written by Moses.
Chapter 1
1
These be the words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar}
which
Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side
of
the Jordan {River}
in
the desert,
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 Kadeshbarnea.)
3
And it came to pass in the fortieth year,
in
the eleventh month,
on
the first day of the month,
that
Moses spoke unto the children of Israel,
according
unto all that Jehovah/God had given him
in
commandment unto them . . . 4
after
he had slain Sihon, the king of the Amorites,
who
dwelt in Heshbon,
and
Og, the king of Bashan,
who
dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei.
5
On this side Jordan {River},
in
the land of Moab,
began
Moses to declare this law, saying, 6
Jehovah/God
our 'Elohiym/Godhead
spoke
unto us in Horeb, saying,
you
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 near 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 {God} have given you the land before you.
Go
in and take possession of the land
which
Jehovah/God has promised/swore to your fathers . . .
to
give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob . . .
and
to their posterity/seed after them.
9
And I spoke unto you at that time, saying,
I
am not able to bear you myself alone.
10
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead has multiplied you,
and,
behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11
(Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead of your fathers make you
a
thousand times so many more as you are,
and
bless you, as he has 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 you answered me, and said,
The
thing which you have 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.
{Principle
of All People are Equal In Court - Under the Law}
17
You shall not respect persons in judgment;
but
you shall hear the small as well as the great;
you
shall not be afraid of the face of man;
for
the judgment is 'Elohiym/Godhead'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
you should do.
19
And when we departed from Horeb,
we
went through all that great and terrible desert,
which
you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites,
as
Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead commanded us;
and
we came to Kadesh-Barnea.
20
And I said unto you,
you
are come unto the mountain of the Amorites,
which
Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead does give unto us.
21
Behold, Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
has
set the land before you.
Go
up and possess it, as Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of your fathers
has
said unto you; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22
And you 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 Jehovah/God
our
'Elohiym/Godhead does give us.
26
Notwithstanding you would not go up,
but
rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah/God
your
'Elohiym/Godhead.
27
And you murmured in your tents, and said,
Because
Jehovah/God hated us,
He
has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt,
to
deliver us into the hand of the Amorites,
to
destroy us.
28
Where shall we go up?
Our
brethren have discouraged our heart, saying,
The
people is greater/stronger
and
taller than we;
the
cities are great and walled up to heaven;
and
moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
{a family of giants}
29
Then I said unto you,
Dread
not, neither be afraid of them.
30
Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead
Who
goes before you,
He
shall fight for you,
according
to all that He did for you in Egypt
before
your eyes.
31
And in the desert,
where
you have seen how that
Jehovah/God
your 'Elohiym/Godhead bare you,
as
a man does bear his son,
in
all the way that you went,
until
you came into this place.
32
Yet in this thing you did not believe
Jehovah/God
your 'Elohiym/Godhead, 33
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 you should go,
and
in a cloud by day.
34
And Jehovah/God heard the voice
of
your words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar},
and
was angry/wroth, and swore, saying, 35
Surely
there shall not one of these men
of
this evil generation see that good land,
which
I swore to give unto your fathers . . . 36
except
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 children,
because
he has wholly followed Jehovah/God.
37
Also Jehovah/God was angry with me
for
your sakes, saying,
you
{Moses} also shall not go in there.
38
But Joshua the son of Nun,
who
stands before you,
he
shall go in there.
Encourage
him.
For
he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39
Moreover your little ones,
which
you said should be a prey,
and
your children,
which
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 possess it.
40
But as for you, turn you,
and
take your journey into the desert
by
the way of the Red sea.
41
Then you answered and said unto me,
We
have sinned against Jehovah/God,
we
will go up and fight,
according
to all that Jehovah/God
our
'Elohiym/Godhead commanded us.
And
when you had girded on every man
his
weapons of war,
you
were ready to go up into the hill.
42
And Jehovah/God said unto me,
Say
unto them, Go not up, neither fight;
for
I am not among you;
lest
you be smitten before your enemies.
43
So I spoke unto you;
and
you would not hear,
but
rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah/God,
and
went presumptuously up into the hill.
44
And the Amorites,
who
dwelt in that mountain,
came
out against you,
and
chased you, as bees do,
and
destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45
And you returned and wept before Jehovah/God;
but
Jehovah/God would not 'hear, listen and obey' {shama'}
to
your voice,
nor
give ear unto you.
46
So you abode in Kadesh many days,
according
unto the days that you abode there.
