*
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites ,
which dwelt in Heshbon ,
and Og the king of Bashan ,
which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei :
*
On this side Jordan ,
in the land of Moab ,
began Moses to declare this law ,
saying ,
*
The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb ,
saying ,
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 south ,
and by the sea side ,
to the land of the Canaanites ,
and unto Lebanon ,
unto the great river ,
the river Euphrates .
*
Behold ,
I have set the land before you :
go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers ,
Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob ,
to give unto them and to their seed after them .
*
And I spake unto you at that time ,
saying ,
I am not able to bear you myself alone :
*
The LORD your God hath multiplied you ,
and ,
behold ,
ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude .
* (
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 !)
*
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance ,
and your burden ,
and your strife ?
*
Take you wise men ,
and understanding ,
and known among your tribes ,
and I will make them rulers over you .
*
And ye answered me ,
and said ,
The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do .
*
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 .
*
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 that is with him .
*
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 .
*
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do .
*
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 .
