Deuteronomy 1:1-13 ▼

1 These the words which Moses spake to all Israel on the other side Jordan in the desert, in the sterile region over against the sedge between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.

2 Eleven days from Horeb the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-Barnea.

3 And it shall be in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, in one to the Month, Moses spake to the sons of Israel according to all which Jehovah commanded him to them.

4 After his smiting Sihon, king of the Amorites, who will dwell in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, who will dwell in Ashtaroth in Edrei:

5 In the other side Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses was first to declare this law, saying,

6 Jehovah our God spake to us in Horeb, saying, It was enough to you to dwell in this mount:

7 Turn ye and remove for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all his neighbors in the sterile region, in the mountain, and in the low country, and in the south and in the coast of the sea, the land of the Canaanites and of Lebanon to the great river, the river Phrath.

8 See, I gave the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware to your fathers, to Abraham to Isaak and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

9 And I spake to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able alone to bear you:

10 Jehovah your God multiplied you, and behold, you this day as the stars of the heavens for multitude.

11 Jehovah the God of your fathers will add to you as ye a thousand times, and he will bless you as he spake to you.

12 How shall I bear alone your burden and your lifting up and your strife.

13 Give to yourselves men wise and known to your tribes, and I will set them for your heads.
