Deuteronomy 1:22-46 ▼

22 And ye shall come near to me all of you, and ye will say, We will send men before us, and they shall search out for us the land, and shall turn us back word the way which we shall go up into it, and the cities which we shall come into them.

23 And the word will be good in mine eyes: and I will take from you twelve men, one man to a tribe.

24 And they will turn and go up to the mountain, and they will come to the valley of Eshcol, and will search it out.

25 And they will take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and they will come down to us and will turn us back word, and will say, A good land which Jehovah our God gave to us.

26 And ye were not willing to go up, and ye will rebel against the mouth of Jehovah your God,

27 And ye will murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us he brought us out of the land of Egypt to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us.

28 Whither are we going up? our brethren melted our heart, saying, A people great and high above us; cities great and fortified to the heavens; and also, the sons of the Anakims, we saw there.

29 And I said to you, Ye shall not be terrified, and ye shall not be afraid of them.

30 Jehovah your God went before you; he will fight for you according to all that he did to you in Egypt before your eyes.

31 And in the desert where thou sawest that Jehovah thy God lifted thee up, as a man will lift up his son, in all the way that ye went till your coming to this place.

32 And in this word ye are not believing in Jehovah your God.

33 He going in the way before you to search out for you a place for you to encamp, in fire by night, to cause you to see in what way ye shall go in it, and in a cloud by day.

34 And Jehovah will hear the voice of your words, and he will be angry, and he will swear, saying,

35 If a man among these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I sware to give to your fathers,

36 Except Caleb, son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he trod upon it, and to his sons, because that he filled up after Jehovah.

37 Also with me was Jehovah angry on account of you, saying, Also thou shalt not come in there.

38 Joshua son of Nun, standing before thee, he shall come in there: strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 And your little ones which ye said shall be for a spoil, and your sons which knew not that day good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

40 And you, turn for yourselves and remove to the desert the way of the sea of sedge.

41 And ye will answer and say to me, We sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye will gird on each the weapon of his fighting, and ye will act lightly to go up to the mountain.

42 And Jehovah will say to me, Say to them, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not fight; for I am not in the midst of you and ye shall not be smitten before your enemies.

43 And I shall speak to you, and ye heard not; and ye will rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, and ye will act proudly, and will go up to the mountain.

44 And the Amorite dwelling in that mountain will come forth to your meeting, and will pursue you as bees will do, and they will beat you in Seir to Hormah.

45 And ye will turn back and will weep before Jehovah; and Jehovah heard not to your voice and gave not ear to you.

46 And ye shall dwell in Kadesh many days according to the days that ye dwelt.
