05_DEU_01_01 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 .
05_DEU_01_02 [ [ there are ] eleven days' [ journey ] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea . ]
05_DEU_01_03 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 ;
05_DEU_01_04 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 :
05_DEU_01_05 on this side Jordan , in the land of Moab , began Moses to declare this law , saying ,
05_DEU_01_06 the LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb , saying , ye have dwelt long enough in this mount :
05_DEU_01_07 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 .
05_DEU_01_08 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 .
05_DEU_01_09 And I spake unto you at that time , saying , I am not able to bear you myself alone :
05_DEU_01_10 the LORD your God hath multiplied you , And , behold , ye [ are ] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude .
05_DEU_01_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 ! ]
05_DEU_01_12 how can I myself alone bear your cumbrance , And your burden , And your strife ?
05_DEU_01_13 take you wise men , And understanding , And known among your tribes , And I will make them rulers over you .
05_DEU_01_14 And ye answered me , And said , the thing which thou hast spoken [ Is ] good [ for us ] to do .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do .
05_DEU_01_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 Kadeshbarnea .
05_DEU_01_20 And I said unto you , ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites , which the LORD our God Doth give unto us .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_23 And the saying pleased me Well : And I took twelve men of you , one of A tribe :
05_DEU_01_24 And they turned And went up into the mountain , And came unto the valley of Eshcol , And searched it out .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up , but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God :
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_29 Then I said unto you , dread not , neither be afraid of them .
05_DEU_01_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 ;
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_32 yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God ,
05_DEU_01_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 ye should go , And in A cloud by day .
05_DEU_01_34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words , And was wroth , And sware , saying ,
05_DEU_01_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 ,
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_37 also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes , saying , thou also shalt not go in thither .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_40 but [ as for ] you , turn you , And take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the red sea .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_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 .
05_DEU_01_45 And ye returned And wept before the LORD ; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice , nor give ear unto you .
05_DEU_01_46 So ye abode in Kadesh Many days , according unto the days that ye abode [ there ] .
