nsb - Deuteronomy:1:26-46

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:26 @ Even so they were not willing to go. They rebelled against the command of Jehovah your God:

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:27 @ »You complained in your tents, and said: Jehovah hates us so he brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:28 @ »Where can we go up? Our brothers caused us to lose heart. They said: The people are stronger and taller than we are. The cities are large and the walls go up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.«

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:29 @ »I said to you: Do not be afraid of them.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:30 @ »Jehovah your God leads you. He will fight for you just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes!

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:31 @ »You saw how Jehovah your God carried you like a father carries his son all the way until you reached this place.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:32 @ »Yet in all this you did not trust Jehovah your God.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:33 @ »He went ahead of you to find places for you to camp. He offered fire by night and cloud by day to show you the way you should go.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:34 @ »Jehovah heard what you said. He was angry and solemnly swore:

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:35 @ »Not one man of this evil generation will see that good land, which I swore to give your fathers,

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:36 @ »Except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it. I will give him and his descendants the land he walks on. This is because he followed Jehovah wholeheartedly.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:37 @ »Jehovah was angry with me because of you. He said to me: You will also not go there.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:38 @ »Your assistant Joshua son of Nun will go there. He will lead the people into the land. Encourage him to go there.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:39 @ »The little ones that you said would be taken captive will enter the land. Your children who do not know good from bad will go in. I will give it to them and they will possess it.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:40 @ »But you must turn around and go back through the desert toward the Red Sea.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:41 @ »You answered: We have sinned against Jehovah. We will fight just as Jehovah our God commanded us. When every man puts on his armor and weapons of war they will be ready to go to the mountain.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:42 @ »But Jehovah said to me: Tell them, do not go and fight! I am not with you. Your enemies will defeat you.«

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:43 @ I told you, but you would not listen. You disobeyed Jehovahs command and proudly invaded the mountainous region.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:44 @ The Amorites who lived there came out and attacked you. They chased you like a swarm of bees. They defeated you! They drove you back from Seir all the way to Hormah.

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:45 @ You returned and cried to Jehovah. Jehovah, however, did not listen to you. He turned a deaf ear to you!

nsb@Deuteronomy:1:46 @ That is why you stayed in Kadesh as long as you did.
