Deuteronomy:1:26-46
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up ,
but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh ,
your God ;
*
and murmured in your tents and said ,
Because Yahweh hated us ,
hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt ,
to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy us .
*
Whither ,
are ,
we ,
to go up ?
Our own brethren ,
have made our heart melt saying A people greater and taller than we ,
cities large and walled-up into the heavens ,
yea ,
moreover sons of Anakim ,
have we seen there .
*
Then I said unto you ,
Ye must not tremble ,
nor be afraid of them :
*
Yahweh your God ,
who is going before you ,
he ,
will fight for you ,
according to all that he did with you in Egypt ,
before your eyes ;
*
also in the desert which thou hast seen ,
where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son ,
throughout all the way that ye journeyed ,
until ye entered as far as ,
this place .
*
But in this firing ,
ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God ;
*
who was going before you in the wayto search out for you a place ,
where ye might encamp ,
in the fire by night ,
that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go ,
and in the cloud ,
by day .
*
And Yahweh heard the voice of your words ,
and was wroth and swaresaying :
*
Surely ,
not one of these men ,
this wicked generation ,
shall see the good land ,
which I sware to give unto your fathers :
*
saving Caleb son of Jephunneh ,
he ,
shall see it ,
and unto him ,
will I give the land through which he hath trodden ,
and unto his sons ,
because he hath wholly followed Yahweh .
*
Even with me ,
did Yahweh show himself angry ,
for your sakes ,
saying ,
Even thou ,
shalt not enter therein .
*
Joshua son of Nun ,
who standeth before thee ,
he ,
shall enter in thither ,
him ,
strengthen thou ,
for he ,
shall cause Israel to inherit it .
*
And your little ones ,
of whom ye said they should become ,
a prey ,
and your sons who to-day know not good and evil ,
they ,
shall enter in thither ,
and unto them ,
will I give it ,
and they ,
shall possess it .
*
But as for you ,
turn ye ,
for your part ,
and set forward towards the desert ,
by way of the Red Sea .
*
Then responded ye and said unto me We have sinned against Yahweh ,
We ,
ourselves ,
will go up ,
and fight ,
according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us .
And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war ,
ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country .
*
Then said Yahweh unto me Say unto them Ye shall not go up ,
nor fight ,
for I am not in your midst ,
lest ye should be smitten before your enemies .
*
So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not ,
but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh ,
and presumptuously went up the hill-country .
*
Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country ,
to meet you ,
and they chased you ,
as do ,
bees ;
and struck you down in Seir ,
as far as Hormah .
*
So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh ,
but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice ,
nor gave ear unto you .
*
And ye abode in Kadesh many days ,
how many were the days that ye abode
