Deuteronomy 1

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite 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 the LORD 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 Ashtaroth in Edrei.

5 On this side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

6 "The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying: 'Ye 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 nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills and in the vale, and in the South and by the seaside, to the land of the Canaanites and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the River Euphrates.

8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.'

9 "And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, `I am not able to bear you myself alone.

10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

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!)

12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance and your burden and your strife?

13 Take you wise men of understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.'

14 And ye answered me and said, `The thing which thou hast 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 who is with him.

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.'

18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

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.

20 And I said unto you, `Ye have come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

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.'

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.'

23 And the saying pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one from 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 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 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.

28 Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there."'

29 Then I said unto you, `Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, He shall fight for you according to all that He did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

31 and in the wilderness where thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went until ye came into this place.'

32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

33 who went in the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

34 "And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was 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 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.'

37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, `Thou also shalt not go in thither.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 Moreover your little ones, who ye said should be a prey, and your children, who 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.

40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.'

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 onto the hill.

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.'

43 So I spoke unto you, and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up onto 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 ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 This is the speech Moses gave in the desert east of the Jordan River, on the plains, near Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and near Laban, Hazeroth, and Di Zahab. He spoke to all the Israelites.

2 (It takes 11 days to go from Mount Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by way of Mount Seir.)

3 On the first day of the eleventh month in the fortieth year [after they had left Egypt], Moses told the Israelites everything the LORD had commanded him to tell them.

4 This was after he had defeated King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and King Og of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.

5 The Israelites were east of the Jordan River in Moab when Moses began to review God's teachings. This is what he said:

6 At Mount Horeb the LORD our God said to us, "You have stayed at this mountain long enough.

7 Break camp, and get ready! Go to the mountain region of the Amorites, and go to everyone living on the plains, in the mountains, in the foothills, in the Negev, on the whole Mediterranean coast (the land of the Canaanites), and into Lebanon as far as the Euphrates River.

8 I'm giving you this land. Enter, and take possession of the land the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to you, their descendants."

9 At that time I said to you, "I'm not able to take care of you by myself.

10 The LORD your God has made your population increase so that you are now as numerous as the stars in the sky.

11 May the LORD God of your ancestors make you a thousand times more numerous, and may he bless you as he has promised.

12 How can I take care of your problems, your troubles, and your disagreements all by myself?

13 From each of your tribes, choose some men who are wise, intelligent, and experienced, and I'll appoint them to be your leaders."

14 You agreed that this was a good idea.

15 So I took the heads of your tribes who were wise and experienced men and made them officers for each of your tribes. I put them in charge of groups of 1,000, or 100, or 50, or 10 people.

16 Also at that time I gave these instructions to your judges: "Hear the cases that your people bring. Judge each case fairly, no matter whether it is [a dispute] between two Israelites or [a dispute] between an Israelite and a non-Israelite.

17 Be impartial in your decisions. Listen to the least important people the same way you listen to the most important people. Never be afraid of anyone, since your decisions come from God. You may bring me any case that's too hard for you, and I will hear it."

18 So I told you how to handle these situations.

19 So we left Mount Horeb, as the LORD our God had commanded. We traveled through all that vast and dangerous desert you saw on the way to the mountain region of the Amorites. At last we came to Kadesh Barnea.

20 Then I said to you, "We have come to the mountain region of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.

21 The LORD your God is giving you this land. Go ahead! Take possession of it, as the LORD God of your ancestors told you. Don't be afraid or terrified."

22 All of you came to me and said, "Let's send men ahead of us to gather information about the land for us. Have them report to us about the route we should take and the cities we'll come to."

23 It seemed like a good idea to me. So I chose 12 of your men, one from each tribe.

24 They left and went into the mountains. When they came to the Eshcol Valley, they explored it.

25 They took some of the region's fruit with them and brought it back to us. They reported, "The land that the LORD our God is giving us is good."

26 But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God and refused to go.

27 You complained in your tents and said, "The LORD hates us! That's why he brought us out of Egypt. He wanted to hand us over to the Amorites so that they could destroy us!

28 Where are we going anyway? Our own men have discouraged us by saying, 'The people there are taller and stronger than we are. The cities are big with sky-high walls! We even saw the people of Anak there.'"

29 Then I said to you, "Don't tremble. Don't be afraid of them.

30 The LORD your God, who is going ahead of you, will fight for you as you saw him fight for you in Egypt

31 and in the desert." There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as parents carry their children. He carried you wherever you went until you came to this place.

32 In spite of this, you didn't trust the LORD your God,

33 who went ahead of you to find places for you to camp. He appeared in a column of fire at night and in a column of smoke during the day to show you which route to take.

34 When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and took this oath:

35 "Not one of these evil people will ever see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,

36 except Caleb, son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give the land that he set his feet on to him and his descendants, because he wholeheartedly followed the LORD."

37 The LORD became angry with me because of you. He said, "You won't go there either.

38 But your assistant Joshua, son of Nun, will go there. Encourage him, because he will help Israel take possession of the land.

39 Although you thought the little children would be captured in war, your children, who are still too young to know the difference between good and evil, will enter that land. I will give it to them, and they will take possession of it.

40 Turn around, go back into the desert, and follow the road that goes to the Red Sea."

41 You responded, "We have sinned against the LORD. We'll go and fight, as the LORD our God commanded us to do." Each of you armed yourself for war, thinking you could easily invade the mountain region.

42 But the LORD said to me, "Tell them, 'Don't go and fight, because I won't be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.'"

43 I told you, but you wouldn't listen. You defied the LORD's command and invaded the mountain region.

44 The Amorites who lived there came out and attacked you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They defeated you, chasing you from Seir all the way to Hormah.

45 When you came back, you cried to the LORD, but the LORD didn't listen to you or hear you.

46 That's why you stayed in Kadesh as long as you did.
