These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan — in the Arabah opposite Suph — between Paran ... and Tophel , Laban , Hazeroth , vvv and Dizahab.
| LXX |
It is an eleven-day ... ... (journey) from Horeb to vvv Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
| LXX |
- In the fortieth year , on the first day ... of the eleventh ... month , Moses proclaimed to the Israelites ... all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
| LXX |
This was after he had defeated - Sihon king of the Amorites , who lived in Heshbon , and then at Edrei (had defeated) Og king of Bashan , who lived in Ashtaroth.
| LXX |
On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab , Moses began to explain - this law , saying :
| LXX |
The LORD our God said to us at Horeb - : “ You have stayed at this mountain long enough
| LXX |
Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites ; (go) to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah , in the hill country , in the foothills , in the Negev , and along the seacoast ... to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon , as far as the great River - Euphrates.
| LXX |
See , I have placed the land before you. - Enter and possess - the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob , and to their descendants after them. ”
| LXX |
At that ... time I said to you , “ I cannot ... carry the burden for you alone.
| LXX |
The LORD your God has multiplied you , so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
| LXX |
May the LORD , the God of your fathers , increase you ... a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised
| LXX |
But how can I bear your troubles , burdens , and disputes all by myself ?
| LXX |
Choose wise , understanding , and respected men from each of your tribes , and I will appoint them as your leaders. ”
| LXX |
And you answered me and said , “ What you propose to do is good .... ”
| LXX |
So I took - the leaders of your tribes , wise and respected men , and appointed them as leaders over you — as commanders of thousands , ... of hundreds , ... of fifties , ... and of tens , and as officers for your tribes.
| LXX |
At that ... time I charged - your Judges - : “ Hear the disputes between your brothers , and judge fairly between a man ... and his brother ... or a foreign resident.
| LXX |
vvv Show no partiality ... in judging ; hear (both) small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone , for judgment belongs to God. ... And bring to me any case - too difficult and I will hear it. ”
| LXX |
And at that - time I commanded you all the things - you were to do.
| LXX |
- And just as the LORD our God - had commanded us , we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites , through all the vast and terrifying ... wilderness you have seen. When we reached ... vvv Kadesh-barnea ,
| LXX |
I said - : “ You have reached ... the hill country of the Amorites , which the LORD our God is giving
| LXX |
See , the LORD your God has placed the land before you. - Go up and take possession of it as the LORD , the God of your fathers has told you. Do not be afraid ... or discouraged. ”
| LXX |
Then all of you approached me and said , “ Let us send men ahead of us to search out - the land and bring us - word - of what route - to follow - and which cities - to enter .... ”
| LXX |
The plan seemed good to me , so I selected twelve ... ... men one from each tribe.
| LXX |
They left and went up into the hill country , and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out (the land) -.
| LXX |
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands , carried it down to us , and brought us - word : ... “ It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving
| LXX |
But you were unwilling ... to go up ; you rebelled - against the command of the LORD your God.
| LXX |
You grumbled in your tents and said , ... “ Because the LORD hates us , He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
| LXX |
Where can we go ? Our brothers have made our hearts melt - - , saying : ‘ The people are larger and taller than we are ; the cities are large , with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there. ’”
| LXX |
So I said to you : “ Do not be terrified ... or afraid
| LXX |
The LORD your God , who goes before you , ... will fight just as - you saw Him do for you in Egypt
| LXX |
(and) in the wilderness , where the LORD your God - carried you , as a man - carries his son , all the way by which you traveled until you reached ... this place. ”
| LXX |
But in spite of all this , you did not trust the LORD your God ,
| LXX |
who went before you on the journey , in the fire by night and in the cloud by day , to seek out a place for you to camp (and) to show you the road - to travel
| LXX |
When the LORD - - heard your words , He grew angry and swore an oath , saying ,
| LXX |
“ Not one of the men of this - evil generation shall see the good land - I swore to give your fathers ,
| LXX |
except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot because - he followed the LORD wholeheartedly. ”
| LXX |
The LORD was also angry ... on your account , and He said , “ Not even you shall enter (the land).
| LXX |
Joshua - son of Nun , who stands before you , vvv will enter it. - Encourage him , for he will enable Israel to inherit (the land).
| LXX |
And the little ones - you said would become captives — your children who on that day did not know good from evil — will enter (the land that) I will give them , and they will possess it.
| LXX |
But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea. ”
| LXX |
“ We have sinned against the LORD , ” you replied ... .... “ We will go up and fight , as - the LORD our God has commanded us. ” Then each - of you put on his weapons of war , thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
| LXX |
But the LORD said to me , “ Tell not to go up and fight , for I (am) not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies. ”
| LXX |
So I spoke to you , but you would not listen. You rebelled against - the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
| LXX |
Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased - you like ... a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
| LXX |
And you returned and wept before the LORD , but (He) would not listen to your voice (or) give ear to you.
| LXX |
For this reason you stayed in Kadesh vvv for a long time — a very long time - -.
| LXX |
