The LORD our God fpake unto us in Horeb, faying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 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 fouth, and by the fea-fide, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have let the land before you go in and poffefs the land which the LORD Iware unto your fathers, Abraham, Ifaac, and Jacob, to give unto thein, and to their feed after them. His anger for their incredulity milies of the fons of Manaffeh the fon of Je feph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments which the LORD commanded by the hand of Mofes,unto the children of Ifrael in the plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho. 94 And I fpake unto you at that time, fay ing, I am not able to bear you my felf alone: To The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and behold you are this day as the ftars of heaven for multitude. 11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times fo many mo as ye are, and bless you as he hath promiled you) 12 How can I my felf alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your ftrife? 13 Take ye wife men and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. called DEUTERONOMY. 17 Ye fhall not refpect perfons in judg ment, but you shall hear the fmall as well as the great; you fhall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment Gods: 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 ye fhould do. 14 And ye anfwered me,and faid, The thing which thou haft fpoken, good for us to do. 15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wife men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thoufands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. 199 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terriblewildernefs, which you faw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD. our God commanded us; and we came to Kadefh-barnea. 16 And I charged your judges at that time, Taying, Hear the canfes between your bres 20 And I faid unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us. 21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath fet the land before thee: go up and poffefs it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath faid unto thee; fear not, neither be difcouraged. 22 9 And ye came near unto me every one. of you, and faid, we will fend men before us, and they fhall fearch us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. and 23 And the faying pleafed me well 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 Efhcol, and fearched 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 faid, It a good land, which the LORD our God doth give us. 26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God. 27 And ye murmured in your tents, and faid, 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. 28 Whither fhall we go up? our brethren have difcouraged our heart, faying, The people is greater and taller than we, the cities are great and walled up to heaven, and more-over we have feen the fons of the Anakims there. 29 Then I faid unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he fhall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes: 31 And in the wilderness, where thou haft feen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man doth bear his fon, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.. 32.Yer The Rory i continued DEUTERONOMY. 32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God. 33 Who went in the way, before you to fearch you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night to fhew you by what way ye fhould go, and in a cloud by day.. 34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and fware, faying, 35 Surely there fhall not one of these men. of this evil generation fee that good land, which I fware to give unto your fathers; 36 Save Caleb the fon of Jephunneh he fhall fee it, and to him will I give the land that he hath troden upon, and to his children, becaufe he hath wholly followed the LORD. 37 Allo the LORD was angry with me for your fakes, faying, Thou alio fhalt not go in thither. 38 But Jofhua the fon of Nun, which standeth before thee, he fhall go in thither. En courage him: for he thall caufe Ifrael to inherit it. 39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye faid fhould be a prey, and your children which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they fhall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they thall poffefs it. 40 But as for you, turn ye, and take your journey into the wildernels, by the way of the Red fea. 41 Then ye anfwered and faid unto me, We have finned 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. 42 And the LORD faid unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, for I am not among you; left ye be fmitten before your enemies. 43 So I fpake unto you, and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went prefumptuously up into the hill. 44 And the Amorites which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chafed you as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Horniah. 45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearkenso your voice, nor give ear unto you. 46 So ye abode in Kadeth many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no not fo much as a foot-breadth, because I have given mount Seir unto Blau for a poffeflion. touching the Edomités. 6 Ye fhall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall alfo buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 7 For the LORD thy God hath bleffed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: thefe forty years the LORD thy God bath been with thee, thou haft lacked nothing. 8 And when we paffed by from our brethren the children of Efau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and paffed by the way of the wildernefs of Moab. 9 And the LORD faid unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battel: for I will not give thee of their land for a poffeffion, becaufe I have given Ar un-... to the children of Lot for a poffellion. 10 The Emims dwelt therein in times paft, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakims; 11 Which alfo were accounted giants as the Anakims, but the Moabites call them Emims. 12 The Horims alfo dwelt in Seir before time, but the children of Etau fucceeded them when they had deftroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their ftead, as Ifrael did unto the land of his poffeffion, which the LORD gave unto them. 13 Now rife up, faid I, and get you over the brook Zered: and we went over the brook Zered. 14 And the space in which we came from Kadefh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wafted out from among the hoft, as the.. LORD fware unto them. 15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to deftroy them from among. the hoft, until they were confumed. 16. So it came to pafs, when all the men of war were confumed and dead from among the people, 17 That the LORD spake unto me, fay ing, 18 Thou art to pafs over through Ar, the coaft of Moab, this day. 19 And when thou comeft nigh over against the children of Ammon, diftrefs them not, nor meddle with them for I will not give. thee of the land of the children of Ammon any. poffeffion, becaufe I have given it unto the children of Lot for a poffeflion. 20 (That allo was accounted a land of giants, giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims, the Anakins, but the Lok Ddytroyed them people great, and many, and before them, and they fucceeded them, and dwelt in their stead: 22.
