²⁵ And Moses chose men of ability from all Israel and made them heads over the people; rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. ²⁶ And they judged the people at all times; the hard matters they brought to Moses, and every small matter they judged themselves.

¹⁴ And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds who came from the service of the war.

¹⁸ You shall appoint judges and officers for yourself in all your gates which Jehovah your God gives you, tribe by tribe. And they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

¹² And he will appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; and to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make weapons for war for him, and weapons for his charioteer.

¹⁸ And you shall take these ten cuttings of cheese to the commander of the thousand, and you shall visit your brothers, as to how they fare. And you shall bring their token.

⁷ And Saul said to his servants who were standing by him, Now hear, Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse also give to any of you fields and vineyards? Will he make each of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,

¹¹ And indeed He gave some to be apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers;

²¹ You shall not be violent toward an alien. You shall not oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

² You shall not run after many to gain evil things. And you shall not testify as to a lawsuit, to turn aside after many in order to pervert justice . ³ And you shall not favor the lowly in his lawsuit.

⁷ You shall keep far away from a false matter. And do not kill the innocent and the righteous; for I will not justify the wicked. ⁸ And you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the seeing one, and it perverts the words of the righteous. ⁹ And you shall not oppress an alien; and you know the life of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

¹⁵ You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor favor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

²² One judgment shall be for you whether an alien or a native; for I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁹ And cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight.

¹⁸ He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, to give to him food and clothing. ¹⁹ And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ You shall appoint judges and officers for yourself in all your gates which Jehovah your God gives you, tribe by tribe. And they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. ¹⁹ You shall not pervert judgment. You shall not regard faces, nor shall you take a bribe; for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

¹⁴ You shall not oppress a poor and needy hired servant, of your brothers or of your aliens who are in your land, within your gates.

¹¹ And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

¹⁴ And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, your days are coming near to die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tabernacle of the congregation, and I shall charge him. And Moses and Joshua went, and they presented themselves at the tabernacle of the congregation.

³ The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me: One ruling over man righteously, who rules in the fear of God,

⁶ and said to the judges, Watch what you are doing, for you shall not judge for man, but for Jehovah, and He is with you in the matter of judgment; ⁷ and now, let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; watch and act, for there is no perverseness with Jehovah our God, nor lifting up of faces, nor taking of a bribe. ⁸ And also in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat caused to stand from the Levites and from the priests, and from the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah, and for strife; and they returned to Jerusalem. ⁹ And he charged them, saying, So shall you do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. ¹⁰ And when any contention shall come to you from your brothers who are living in their cities, between blood and blood between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, then you shall warn them, and they shall not be guilty before Jehovah; and wrath shall not be on you and on your brothers; so you shall do, and you shall not be guilty.

¹ To the chief musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David. Will you indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

²⁴ Do not judge according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

¹¹ even as you know how I was to each one of you, as a father to his children, exhorting and consoling you,

²¹ I solemnly witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels, that you should guard these things without prejudice, doing nothing by way of partiality.

¹⁷ Charge the rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set hope on the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, He offering to us richly all things for enjoyment;

²² And let them judge the people at all times. And it shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, and every small matter they shall judge. And you make it easy on yourself, and let them bear with you.

²⁶ And they judged the people at all times; the hard matters they brought to Moses, and every small matter they judged themselves.

⁶ You shall not pervert the judgment of your needy one in his lawsuit. ⁷ You shall keep far away from a false matter. And do not kill the innocent and the righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

¹⁷ For Jehovah your God, He is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords; the great, the mighty, the fearful God who does not lift up faces, nor take a bribe.

¹⁹ You shall not pervert judgment. You shall not regard faces, nor shall you take a bribe; for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

⁸ If a matter is too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between cause and cause, or between stroke and stroke, matters of strife within your gates, then you shall rise and go up to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose. ⁹ And you shall come in to the priest, of the Levites, and to the judge who is in those days, and shall inquire. And they shall declare the sentence of judgment to you. ¹⁰ And you shall do according to the word which they declare to you from that place which Jehovah shall choose. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you.

¹⁷ You shall not pervert judgment of an alien, or of an orphan; and you shall not take a widow's garment as pledge.

³ Behold, I am here! Testify against me before Jehovah and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I offended? Whom have I abused, and from whose hand have I taken a bribe that I might hide my eyes with it; and I will give back to you. ⁴ And they said, You have not oppressed us, and you have not abused us, and you have not taken from the hand of any man.

⁷ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look on his appearance, nor to the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For man does not see what He sees. For man looks for the eyes, but Jehovah looks for the heart.

¹⁴ For we do surely die and are as water which is spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up. And God does not take a life, but has devised plans so that the outcast is not cast out from Him.

⁸ And she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and sealed with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles of his city, dwelling with Naboth. ⁹ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people. ¹⁰ And set two men, sons of worthlessness, across from him; and they shall testify of him, saying, You have cursed God and the king. And they shall bring him out and stone him; and he shall die. ¹¹ And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as was written in the letters that she sent to them. ¹² They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth to sit at the head of the people. ¹³ And two men, sons of worthlessness, came in and sat across from him. And the men of worthlessness testified of him before the people, even Naboth, saying, Naboth has cursed God and the king. And they took him out to the outside of the city, and stoned him with stones. And he died. ¹⁴ And they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.

⁶ and said to the judges, Watch what you are doing, for you shall not judge for man, but for Jehovah, and He is with you in the matter of judgment;

⁶ For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and you have stripped the naked of their clothing. ⁷ You have not given water to the faint to drink, and you withheld food from the hungry. ⁸ And the earth is to him, to the armed man; and the honored one lives in it. ⁹ You have sent widows away empty, and have crushed the arms of orphans.

¹¹ For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw, and witnessed for me. ¹² For I delivered the poor who cried for help and the orphan who had no helper to him. ¹³ The blessing of the perishing came on me; and I made the widow's heart to sing. ¹⁴ I put on righteousness and it clothed me; my judgment was like a robe and a diadem. ¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind, and feet for the lame. ¹⁶ I was father to the poor, and the cause which I did not know, I searched out. ¹⁷ I broke the fangs of the perverse, and cast the prey out of his teeth.

¹³ If I despised the cause of my male slave or my slave-girl when they contended with me, ¹⁴ what then shall I do when God rises up? And when He calls me to account, what shall I answer Him? ¹⁵ Did not He who made me in the belly make him? And did not One shape us in the womb? ¹⁶ If I have withheld from the desire of the poor, or I have caused the widow's eyes to fail,

³⁴ then let me fear before a great multitude, and let the scorn of families frighten me and I will be silent, and not go out the door.

³ Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. ⁴ Deliver the poor and needy; save out of the hand of the wicked.

²² Rob not the poor because he is poor, and oppress not the afflicted in the gate. ²³ For Jehovah will contend for their cause, and will plunder the soul of their plunderers.

²³ These also are for the wise: to respect persons in judgment is not good.

²⁵ The fear of man brings a snare, but he trusting Jehovah is set on high.

¹⁷ And you must gird up your loins, and rise up and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be terrified before their faces, that I not prostrate you before them.

²⁸ They have become fat; they shine. Yes, they pass over the deeds of the evil; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the orphan, that they may prosper. And they do not vindicate the right of the needy. ²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things, declares Jehovah? Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

¹¹ So, because of your trampling on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him. You have built houses of hewn stones, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them. ¹² For I know your many transgressions, and your many sins: afflicting the just, taking of a bribe, and turning aside the poor in the gate.

¹ Woe to those plotting wickedness and preparing evil on their beds! In the light of the morning they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. ² And they covet and seize fields and houses, and carry them away. And they oppress a man and his household, even a man and his inheritance. ³ So Jehovah says this: Behold, I am plotting an evil against this family, from which you shall not remove your necks; nor shall you go exalted, for it is an evil time.

¹ And I said, Heads of Jacob and magistrates of the house of Israel, please hear. Is it not for you to know justice? ² Those hating good and loving evil, who pull their skin off them, and their flesh from their bones; ³ who also eat the flesh of My people, and cause their skin to come off from them; yea, they break their bones and shatter, like that in the pot, and as flesh in the midst of the kettle. ⁴ Then they shall cry out to Jehovah, but He will not answer them. He will even hide His face from them in that time, as they have done evil in their doings.

³ Both palms are on evil, to do it well. The ruler is asking for a bribe, also the judge. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; he acts, and they weave it together. ⁴ The best of them is like a thorn; the upright more than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchers, your visitation is coming; now their shame shall be.

¹⁶ And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it does not concern you about anyone, for you do not look to the face of men.

¹⁴ And coming, they said to Him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and there is not a care to you about anyone, for you do not look to the face of men, but teach on the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

²¹ And they questioned Him, saying, Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and do not receive a face, but you teach the way of God with truth.

³⁴ And opening his mouth, Peter said, Truly I see that God is not an accepter of faces, ³⁵ but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him.

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

⁹ And lords, do the same things toward them, forbearing threatening, knowing that the Lord of you and of them is in Heaven, and there is no respect of persons with Him.

²⁵ But the one doing wrong will receive what he did wrong, and there is no respect of persons.

⁴ but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

¹ My brothers, do not with respect of persons have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. ² For if a gold-fingered man in splendid clothing comes into your synagogue, and a poor one in shabby clothing also comes in; ³ and you look on the one wearing the splendid clothing, and say to him, You sit here comfortably; and to the poor one you say, You stand there, or, Sit here under my footstool; ⁴ did you not also make a difference among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? ⁵ Hear, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to the ones loving Him?

⁹ But if you have partiality to persons, you work sin, having been found guilty as transgressors by the law.

¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, the One judging according to the work of each one without respect to persons, pass the time of your sojourning in fear,

⁵ Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, as Jehovah my God has commanded me, to do them, in the midst of the land where you are going in, to possess it,

⁴⁰ And you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you today, so that it maybe well with you, and with your sons after you, and so that you may prolong your days on the earth, which Jehovah our God is giving to you all the days.

²⁸ Take heed to listen to all these words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah your God.

³² All the things that I command you, take heed to do them and you shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen.

²⁰ as I kept nothing back of what is profitable, so as not to tell you, and to teach you publicly, and from house to house,

²⁷ For I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

² eleven days from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.

¹⁵ who led you through the great and dreadful wilderness, with burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirsty ground where no water is; who brought you water out of the flinty rock;

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness. He encircled him and cared for him; He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.

⁶ Nor did they say, Where is Jehovah who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and of pits, in a dry land and death shade, in a land that no man has passed through, and not a man has lived there?

⁷ turn and pull up stakes and go into the hills of the Amorites, and to all its neighboring places in the Arabah in the hills, and in the low country, and in the Negeb, and in the shore of the sea, the land of the Canaanites and of Lebanon, to the great river, the Euphrates River. ⁸ Behold! I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.

³⁰ And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, We will certainly go up, and we will seize it, for we are well able to do it.

⁸ If Jehovah has delighted in us, then He will bring us into this land and will give it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey. ⁹ Only, do not rebel against Jehovah. And you, do not fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their defense has turned away from them; and Jehovah is with us; do not be afraid of them.

¹ When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots, a people more than you, you shall not be afraid of them. For Jehovah your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

⁶ Be strong and brave. For you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.

¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ² When the evildoers, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell. ³ If an army should camp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rises against me, in this I am trusting.

¹ To the chief musician. For the sons of Korah; A song. For the Virgins. God is our refuge and strength, very much found to be a help in distresses.

⁷ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is a refuge for us. Selah.

¹¹ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is a refuge for us. Selah.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for I am with you; do not gaze about, for I am your God; I will make you strong; yea, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.

¹ But now so says Jehovah who formed you, O Jacob; and He who made you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I called you by your name; you are Mine. ² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk in the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle on you.

³² Stop being afraid, little flock, because your Father was pleased to give you the kingdom.

⁶ So that we may boldly say, " The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?" LXX-Psa. 117:6; MT-Psa. 118:6

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ² Send men for you, and they shall spy out the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel; you shall send one man for the tribe of his fathers, one man, every one a leader among them. ³ And by the command of Jehovah Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran they were all of them men, heads of the sons of Israel. ⁴ And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; ⁵ of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; ⁶ of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; ⁷ of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; ⁸ of the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua the son of Nun; ⁹ of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; ¹⁰ of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; ¹¹ of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; ¹² of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; ¹³ of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; ¹⁴ of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; ¹⁵ of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. ¹⁶ These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun, Joshua. ¹⁷ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, You go up this way into the Negeb, and go up into the hills; ¹⁸ and you shall see the land, what it is, and the people who are living on it, whether it is strong or feeble; whether it is few or many; ¹⁹ and what the land is in which they live, whether good or bad; and what are the cities in which they live, whether in camps or in fortresses; ²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean; whether wood is in it or not. And you shall make yourselves strong and shall take of the fruit of the land. And it was the days of the firstripe grapes.

³ And by the command of Jehovah Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran they were all of them men, heads of the sons of Israel. ⁴ And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; ⁵ of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; ⁶ of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; ⁷ of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; ⁸ of the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua the son of Nun; ⁹ of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; ¹⁰ of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; ¹¹ of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; ¹² of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; ¹³ of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; ¹⁴ of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; ¹⁵ of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. ¹⁶ These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun, Joshua. ¹⁷ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, You go up this way into the Negeb, and go up into the hills; ¹⁸ and you shall see the land, what it is, and the people who are living on it, whether it is strong or feeble; whether it is few or many; ¹⁹ and what the land is in which they live, whether good or bad; and what are the cities in which they live, whether in camps or in fortresses; ²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean; whether wood is in it or not. And you shall make yourselves strong and shall take of the fruit of the land. And it was the days of the firstripe grapes. ²¹ And they went up and spied out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath. ²² And they went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron. And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. And Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. ²³ And they came in to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch and one cluster of grapes. And they carried it on a staff by two; also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. ²⁴ That place was called the Torrent of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there. ²⁵ And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. ²⁶ And they traveled and came in to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the tabernacle of the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought them and all the congregation word, and showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ And they reported to him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and it surely does flow with milk and honey; and this is its fruit. ²⁸ But the people that live in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, very great. And also we have seen the children of Anak there. ²⁹ Amalek lives in the land of the Negeb, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the hills. And the Canaanite is living by the sea, and beside the Jordan. ³⁰ And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, We will certainly go up, and we will seize it, for we are well able to do it. ³¹ And the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for it is stronger than we. ³² And they sent out an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land into which we passed, to spy it out, is a land eating up its inhabitants. And all the people we saw in its midst were men of stature. ³³ And we saw the giants there, the sons of Anak, of the Giants. and we were in our own eyes as grasshoppers, and so we were in their eyes.

²¹ And they went up and spied out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath. ²² And they went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron. And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. And Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. ²³ And they came in to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch and one cluster of grapes. And they carried it on a staff by two; also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. ²⁴ That place was called the Torrent of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there. ²⁵ And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. ²⁶ And they traveled and came in to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the tabernacle of the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought them and all the congregation word, and showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ And they reported to him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and it surely does flow with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.

¹ And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men out of Shittim to spy secretly, saying, Go look over the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a woman, a harlot; and her name was Rahab. And they lay down there. ² And it was reported to the King of Jericho saying, Behold, men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel, to search the land.

¹ And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept during that night. ² And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses, and against Aaron. And all the congregation said to them, Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, oh that we had died! ³ And why is Jehovah bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and our infants shall become a prey. Is it not good for us to return to Egypt? ⁴ And they said each to his brother, Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.

²⁴ They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word. ²⁵ And they murmured in their tents, not listening to the voice of Jehovah;

¹⁰ But they rebelled, and provoked His Holy Spirit, so He was turned to be their enemy; He fought against them.

⁵¹ Oh stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and in the ears! You always fell against the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, you also did .

³ And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the fleshpots, in our eating bread to satisfaction. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill all this assembly with hunger.

⁸ And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning, to satisfaction; when Jehovah hears your murmurings which you are murmuring against Him, you will see . And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

³ And why is Jehovah bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and our infants shall become a prey. Is it not good for us to return to Egypt?

⁵ And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul hates this light bread.

²⁸ lest the land from which You brought us say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which He promised them; and, because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

²⁵ And they murmured in their tents, not listening to the voice of Jehovah;

²⁴ And the one who received the one talent also coming up, he said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter;

²¹ For I feared you, because you are an exacting man, taking what you did not lay down, and reaping what you did not sow.

¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; the leaders of Moab were seized by trembling; all the dwellers of Canaan were melted.

¹ Hear, O Israel, you shall cross over the Jordan today, to go in to expel nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and walled up to the heavens; ² a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

⁸ And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, Who is the man who is afraid, and faint of heart? Let him go and return to his house; then the heart of his brothers will not melt like his heart.

⁹ And she said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given the land to you, and that your terror has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted before you.

¹¹ And we have heard, and our heart has melted, and there not still rises spirit in any man, because of you. For Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above, and in the earth below.

²⁴ And they said to Joshua, Surely Jehovah has given all the land into our hands. And also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted before us.

²² There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only some remained in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.

⁸ But my brothers who went up with me caused the heart of the people to melt, yet I fully followed after Jehovah my God.

¹⁴ And Caleb expelled from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak.

¹⁰ And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (and the name of Hebron was formerly City of Arba) and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

²⁰ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. And He expelled the three sons of Anak from there.

¹⁶ And Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of Rapha the giant, the weight of his spear being three hundred bronze shekels in weight, and was girded with a new sword, even he said to strike David. ¹⁷ And Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, You shall not again go out with us to battle, that you not put out the lamp of Israel. ¹⁸ And it happened after this that the battle was again in Gob of the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite struck Saph, who was among the sons of Rapha. ¹⁹ And again the battle was in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear was like a weaver's beam. ²⁰ And again the battle was in Gath, and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands were six, and the fingers of his feet six, twenty four in number. And he also had been born to Rapha. ²¹ And he cursed Israel; and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimeah, struck him. ²² These four here born to Rapha the giant in Gath. And they fell by the hand of David, by the hand of his servants.

⁷ On account of this all hands shall droop, and every heart of man shall melt;

⁷ And it will be, when they say to you, For what do you groan? Then you shall say, Because of the news that is coming. And every heart will melt, and all hands will become feeble. And every spirit will faint and all knees will flow as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be, declares the Lord Jehovah.

¹ And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh; and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. ² You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh. And he will send away the sons of Israel from his land. ³ And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh. And I will multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ And Pharaoh will not listen to you. And I will lay My hand on Egypt, and will bring My armies, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt with great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah when I send forth My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst. ⁶ And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah commanded them, so they did. ⁷ And Moses was a son of eighty years, and Aaron was a son of eighty three years when they spoke to Pharaoh. ⁸ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ⁹ When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a miracle for yourselves, you shall say to Aaron, Take your staff and throw it before Pharaoh; and let it become a snake. ¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded. And Aaron threw his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants. And it became a snake. ¹¹ And Pharaoh also called wise men and the sorcerers. And they, the priests of Egypt, also performed by their secret arts. ¹² And they each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs. ¹³ And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had said. ¹⁴ And Jehovah said to Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is heavy; he refuses to send away the people. ¹⁵ Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is about to go out to the water. And you stand to meet him on the lip of the river. And you shall take in your hand the staff that was turned into a snake. ¹⁶ And you shall say to him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send away My people, so that they may serve Me in the wilderness. And, behold, you have not listened until now. ¹⁷ So says Jehovah, By this you shall know that I am Jehovah: Behold, I am about to strike the water in the river with the staff in My hand, and it shall be turned to blood. ¹⁸ And the fish in the river will die, and the river will stink, and the Egyptians will become weary of drinking water from the river. ¹⁹ And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your staff, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over the rivers over their canals, and over their pools, and over every body of their waters, so that they may become blood. And blood shall be in all the land of Egypt, both in wooden and in stone vessels. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water which was in the river before Pharaoh's eyes, and before his servants' eyes. And all the water in the river turned to blood. ²¹ And the fish in the river died, and the river stunk. And the Egyptians were not able to drink water from the Nile. And the blood was in all the land of Egypt. ²² And the magicians of Egypt did so by their secret arts. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had said. ²³ And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. And he did not set his heart to this also. ²⁴ And all the Egyptians dug around the river to drink water, for they were not able to drink from the water of the river. ²⁵ And seven days went by after Jehovah smote the river.

¹⁴ Jehovah will fight for you, and you be silent.

²⁵ And He took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, I will flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.

¹ Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing to Jehovah, for He is highly exalted. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea. ² My strength and song is Jah, and it happened, He was to me salvation; this is my God and I will glorify Him; the God of my father, and I will exalt Him. ³ Jehovah is a Man of war; Jehovah is His name. ⁴ He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army in the sea; and the choice ones of his officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds, ⁵ the depths cover them; they have dropped into the depths like a stone. ⁶ Your right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power; O Jehovah, Your right dashes the enemy to pieces. ⁷ And in Your majesty's greatness You pull down those rising up against You; You send forth Your wrath; it consumes them like stubble. ⁸ And by the spirit of Your anger waters were heaped up; the running waters stood like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. ⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be filled with them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them. ¹⁰ You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in mighty waters. ¹¹ Who is like You among the gods, O Jehovah? Who is like You, glorified in holiness, fearful in praises, O Worker of wonders? ¹² You stretched Your right hand; the earth swallowed them. ¹³ In Your mercy You led the people whom You redeemed; You guided in Your strength to Your holy dwelling. ¹⁴ Peoples heard; they tremble; trembling seized the dwellers of Philistia. ¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; the leaders of Moab were seized by trembling; all the dwellers of Canaan were melted. ¹⁶ Terrors and dread fell on them; by the greatness of Your arm; they are silent as a stone, until Your people pass through, O Jehovah, until pass through the people whom You have bought. ¹⁷ You shall bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, the place You have made for Your dwelling place, O Jehovah; the sanctuary which Your hands have prepared, O Lord. ¹⁸ Jehovah reigns forever and ever! ¹⁹ For the horses oh Pharaoh went in with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea on them; and the sons of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. ²⁰ And the sister of Aaron, Miriam the prophetess took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. ²¹ And Miriam answered to them, Sing to Jehovah, for surely He has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea. ²² And Moses made Israel to pull out from the Sea of Reeds. And they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went into the wilderness three days, and did not find water. ²³ And they came to Marah. And they were not able to drink water from Marah, for it was bitter. Therefore, one called its name Marah. ²⁴ And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? ²⁵ And he cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah showed him a tree. And he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. He made a statute and an ordinance for them there, and He tested them there. ²⁶ And he said, If you carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and you give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put on you all the diseases which I have put on Egypt; for I am Jehovah your healer. ²⁷ And they came to Elim. And there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped by the waters.

²² Do not fear them for Jehovah your God, He shall fight for you.

¹ When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots, a people more than you, you shall not be afraid of them. For Jehovah your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when you draw near to battle, the priest shall come and speak to the people, ³ and say to them. Hear, Israel, you are drawing near today to battle against your enemies. Do not let your heart be faint; do not fear nor tremble, nor be terrified before their faces. ⁴ For Jehovah your God is He who is going before you, to fight for you with your enemies, to save you.

⁴² And Joshua captured all these kings in their land at one time, for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.

⁴⁵ And David said to the Philistine, You are coming to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin. But I am coming to you in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached. ⁴⁶ Today Jehovah shall shut you up into my hand, and I shall strike you, and take off your head from you and give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth today. And all the earth shall know that there is a God for Israel.

¹¹ And Asa called to Jehovah his God, and said, O Jehovah, it is nothing to You to help between the mighty and him with no strength. Help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rest on You, and in Your name we come against this host. O Jehovah, You are our God. Do not let man hold out against You. ¹² And Jehovah struck the Cushites before Asa and before Judah. And the Ethiopians fled.

⁸ With him is an arm of flesh, and with us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people were supported by the words of Hezekiah the king of Judah.

²⁰ In whatever place you hear the sound of the ram's horn, gather there to us. Our God will fight for us.

¹¹ And they forgot His works and His wonders which He had shown them; ¹² He did wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan. ¹³ He divided the sea and passed them through; and He caused the waters to stand in a heap.

⁴³ who set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan. ⁴⁴ He turned their rivers into blood, also their streams that they might not drink. ⁴⁵ He sent swarms of flies against them, and they devoured them; also frogs, and they destroyed them. ⁴⁶ He also gave their crops to the stripping locust, and their labor to the locust. ⁴⁷ He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with sleet. ⁴⁸ He gave their cattle up to the hail, and their flocks to bolts of fire. ⁴⁹ He sent the heat of His anger on them, fury and indignation and distress, a sending of angels of evils. ⁵⁰ He leveled a path for His anger; He did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life over to the plague. ⁵¹ And he struck all the first-born in Egypt, the firstfruits of strength in the tents of Ham;

²⁷ They put things of His signs among them; yea, miracles in the land of Ham. ²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark; and they did not rebel against His word. ²⁹ He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish. ³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs in the rooms of their kings. ³¹ He spoke, and fly swarms came; gnats in all their borders. ³² He gave hail for their rain, flaming fire in their land. ³³ He struck their vines also, and their fig trees; and He broke the trees of their borders. ³⁴ He spoke, and locusts came; and larvae without number; ³⁵ and they ate up all the plants in the land; yea, ate the fruit of their ground. ³⁶ He also struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruit of all their vigor.

⁹ O peoples, suffer evil, and be broken! And listen, all from the far places of the earth; gird yourselves, and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken! ¹⁰ Counsel a counsel, and it is frustrated; speak a word, and it shall not rise; for God is with us.

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

³⁷ But in all these things we more than conquer through Him loving us.

¹ And they pulled out from Elim And all the congregation of the sons of Israel came into the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out from the land of Egypt. ² And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness. ³ And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the fleshpots, in our eating bread to satisfaction. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill all this assembly with hunger. ⁴ And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I AM! Bread will rain from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather the matter of a day in its day, so that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not. ⁵ And it shall be on the sixth day they shall prepare what they bring in. And it shall be double what they gather day by day. ⁶ And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, At evening. you shall know that Jehovah has brought you from the land of Egypt; ⁷ and in the morning you shall see the glory of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah. And we, what are we that you murmur against us? ⁸ And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning, to satisfaction; when Jehovah hears your murmurings which you are murmuring against Him, you will see . And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah. ⁹ And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for He has heard your murmurings. ¹⁰ And it happened, as Aaron was speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, they turned toward the wilderness. And, behold! The glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud! ¹¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ¹² I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, Between the evenings you shall eat flesh; and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God. ¹³ And it happened in the evening: the quail came up and covered the camp. And in the morning a layer of dew was around the camp. ¹⁴ And the layer of dew went up, and, behold, something small was on the face of the wilderness, scalelike, small like the hoarfrost on the earth. ¹⁵ And the sons of Israel looked. And they said, each one to his brother, What is that? For they did not know what it was . And Moses said to them, That is the bread which Jehovah has given to you for food. ¹⁶ This is the thing which Jehovah commanded. Gather from it, each one according to the mouth of his eating; an omer for a head. By the number of your souls you shall take for each man who is in your tent. ¹⁷ And so the sons of Israel did. And they gathered; the one gathering much and the one gathering little.

⁴ You have seen what I did to Egypt; and I bore you on wings of eagles and brought you to Me.

¹¹ And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have You done evil to Your servant; and why have I not found grace in Your eyes to put the burden of all this people on me? ¹² I, have I conceived all this people? I, have I begotten it, that You say to me, Carry it in your bosom as the foster father bears the suckling, to the land which You have sworn to its fathers?

¹⁴ I am not able, I alone, to bear all this people, for it is too heavy for me;

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness. He encircled him and cared for him; He guarded him as the pupil of His eye. ¹¹ As the eagle stirs up its nest; it hovers over its young; it spreads out its wings and takes it, and bears it on its wing. ¹² Jehovah alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.

¹² And You led them in the day by a cloudy pillar, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go. ¹³ And You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from the heavens, and gave them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments. ¹⁴ And You made Your holy sabbath known to them, and You commanded commandments, statutes, and laws, to them by the hand of Your servant Moses. ¹⁵ And You gave them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst. And You said to them that they should go in to possess the land which You had raised Your hand to give them. ¹⁶ But they and our fathers seethed, and hardened their necks, and did not listen to Your commands. ¹⁷ And they refused to obey, and were not mindful of Your wonders which You did among them. But they hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a leader to return them to their bondage. But You are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and did not forsake them. ¹⁸ Yea, when they had made a casted calf for themselves, and said, This is your god who brought you up out of Egypt, and had worked great blasphemies, ¹⁹ Yet You in Your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from them by day to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go. ²⁰ You also gave Your good Spirit to teach them, and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst. ²¹ Yea, forty years You sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell. ²² And You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and divided them to corners. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ²³ You also multiplied their sons like the stars of the heavens and brought them into the land which You had promised to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it.

¹⁴ And He led them by a cloud in the day, and all the night with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He split the rocks in the wilderness and made them drink, as from great floods. ¹⁶ And He brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like torrents. ¹⁷ Yet they sinned still more against Him, to provoke the Most High in the desert. ¹⁸ And they tested God in their heart, by asking food for their souls. ¹⁹ And they spoke against God, saying, Shall God be able to set a table in the wilderness? ²⁰ Behold! He struck the rock and the waters gushed out, and the torrents overflowed. Can He also give bread? Will He provide flesh for His people? ²¹ So Jehovah heard and He was made furious; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and also anger went up against Israel, ²² because they did not believe in God and trusted not in His salvation. ²³ And He commanded the fine clouds above; and He opened the doors of the heavens; ²⁴ and He rained on them manna to eat; and He gave the grain of the heavens to them. ²⁵ Man ate the bread of the mighty; He sent them food to the full. ²⁶ He made an east wind blow in the heavens; and He led out the south wind by His power. ²⁷ Yea, He rained flesh on them like dust, and winged birds as the sand of the seas. ²⁸ And He made them fall amidst their camp, all around to their tents.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. ⁴⁰ He asked, and He brought quail; and satisfied them with the food from the heavens. ⁴¹ He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they went in the dry places like a river.

¹¹ He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather lambs with His arm; and carry them in His bosom; those with young He will lead;

³ Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel; who are borne from the belly, who are lifted from the womb: ⁴ Even to old age I am He; and I will bear to gray hair; I made, and I will carry; and I will bear and deliver.

⁹ In all their affliction, He was not a foe; and the Angel of his Face saved them. In His love and in His pity He redeemed them. And He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

³ I also taught Ephraim to go; He took them on His arms. But they did not know that I healed them. ⁴ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love. And I was to them as those who lift off the yoke on their jaws; and I gently give food to him.

¹⁸ And as forty years time passed, He tenderly bore them in the wilderness. Deut. 1:31

²⁰ And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Jehovah your God, and be steadfast; believe in His prophets and prosper.

²² because they did not believe in God and trusted not in His salvation.

²⁴ They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word.

⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you will not be established.

¹² Watch, brothers, lest perhaps shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God.

¹⁸ And to whom did "He swear" " they would not enter into His rest," except to those not obeying? LXX-Psa. 94:11; MT-Psa. 95:11 ¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

⁵ But I intend to remind you, you once knowing these things, that the Lord having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed the ones not believing.

²¹ And Jehovah was going before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night. ²² The pillar of cloud did not cease by day, and the pillar of fire by night, before the people.

¹⁹ And the Angel of God withdrew, the One going before the camp of Israel. And He went behind them. And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them, and it stood behind them. ²⁰ And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And it was cloudy and dark. And it gave light to the night; and this one did not come near to that one all night.

²⁴ And it happened in the morning watch: Jehovah looked on the camp of the Egyptians in the pillar of fire and cloud. And He confused the camp of the Egyptians.

³⁴ And the cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ And Moses was not able to come into the tabernacle of the congregation because the cloud dwelt on it. And the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. ³⁶ And as the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel pulled up stakes in all their travels. ³⁷ And if the cloud did not go up, then they did not pull up until the day it went up. ³⁸ For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their travels.

¹⁵ And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony. And at evening there was on the tabernacle the appearance of fire, until morning. ¹⁶ so it was always; the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. ¹⁷ And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, then after that the sons of Israel pulled up stakes; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped. ¹⁸ By the mouth of Jehovah the sons of Israel pulled up; and by the mouth of Jehovah they encamped. All the days that the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. ¹⁹ And when the cloud tarried over the tabernacle many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and did not pull up. ²⁰ And when the cloud was over the tabernacle many days, by the mouth of Jehovah they encamped, and by the mouth of Jehovah they pulled up stakes . ²¹ And so when the cloud was there from evening until morning, when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they pulled up. Whether by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, then they pulled up stakes ²² Whether two days, or a month, or days, when the cloud tarried over the tabernacle, to remain over it, the sons of Israel remained in camp, and did not pull up. And when it was lifted up, they pulled up stakes .

¹¹ And it happened in the second year, in the second month, in the twentieth of the month, the cloud went up from off the tabernacle of the testimony. ¹² And the sons of Israel pulled up stakes in their journeyings from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud stayed on it in the wilderness of Paran.

³³ And they pulled up from the mount of Jehovah three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah pulled out before them, three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

¹⁴ And they will say to the inhabitant of this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are in the midst of this people, who is seen eye with eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them; in a pillar of cloud You go before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹² And You led them in the day by a cloudy pillar, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

²⁰ You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

¹⁴ And He led them by a cloud in the day, and all the night with a light of fire.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

⁵ Then Jehovah will create a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, over all the site of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies; for on all the glory will be a canopy. ⁶ And there shall be a booth for a shade from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a hiding place from storm and rain.

⁶ In that day I lifted up My hand to them to bring them out from the land of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey that I had searched out for them, the glory of it is to all lands.

⁵ And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, and I will be for glory in her midst, declares Jehovah.

²² for all the men who are seeing My glory, and My miracles which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tried Me these ten times, and have not listened to My voice, ²³ they shall not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers. Yea, not one of those scorning Me shall see it. ²⁴ And My servant Caleb, because there is another spirit in him, and he is fully following Me, I shall bring him into the land into which he has gone, and his seed shall possess it. ²⁵ And the Amalekite and the Canaanite were living in the valley. Tomorrow turn and pull up stakes for yourselves; going into the wilderness, the way of the Sea of Reeds. ²⁶ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ²⁷ Until when shall I bear with this evil company who are murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they are murmuring against Me. ²⁸ Say to them, As I live, says Jehovah, as surely as you have spoken in My ears, so I will do to you. ²⁹ Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered ones, as to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, in that you have murmured against Me. ³⁰ You shall certainly not come into the land which I lifted up My hand to cause you to live in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

⁸ So your fathers did when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. ⁹ And they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, and discouraged the hearts of the sons of Israel, so as for them not to go into the land which Jehovah had given to them. ¹⁰ And the anger of Jehovah glowed in that day, and He swore, saying, ¹¹ Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob because they have not wholly followed Me; ¹² except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have fully followed Jehovah. ¹³ And Jehovah's anger glowed against Israel. And He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah was destroyed.

¹⁴ And the days in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we had crossed over the torrent Zered, were thirty eight years, until the end of all the generation, even the men of war were destroyed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them. ¹⁵ And the hand of Jehovah was also against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

¹¹ to whom I swore in My anger, They shall not enter into My rest.

¹⁵ And I also lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey which I had given; it is the glory to all the lands,

⁸ do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ there where your fathers tempted Me, testing Me, and saw My works forty years. ¹⁰ Because of this, I was angry with that generation and said, They always go astray in heart; and they did not know My ways; ¹¹ so I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest." LXX-Psa. 94:7-11; MT-Psa. 95:7-11

⁶ of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

²⁴ And My servant Caleb, because there is another spirit in him, and he is fully following Me, I shall bring him into the land into which he has gone, and his seed shall possess it.

⁶⁵ For Jehovah had said to them, They shall surely die in the wilderness; and not a man of them should be left except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹² except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have fully followed Jehovah.

¹⁹ And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

⁶ And the sons of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God as to me and as to you in Kadesh-barnea. ⁷ I was a son of forty years when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. And I brought him back word as it was in my heart. ⁸ But my brothers who went up with me caused the heart of the people to melt, yet I fully followed after Jehovah my God. ⁹ And Moses swore in that day, saying, Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and for your sons forever, because you have fully followed after Jehovah my God. ¹⁰ And now, behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as He said, these forty five years since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness. And now, behold, today I am a son of eighty five years; ¹¹ yet I am as strong today as in the day Moses sent me. As my strength was then, so is my strength now for war, both to go out and to come in. ¹² And now, give to me this mountain, of which Jehovah spoke in that day, for you heard in that day how the son of Anak were there, and great walled cities. If Jehovah shall be with me, then I shall expel them, as Jehovah has spoken. ¹³ And Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. ¹⁴ Therefore, Hebron has belonged to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, for an inheritance to this day, because he fully followed after Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹² And Caleb said, He who strikes the City of Sepher and captures it, I shall give my daughter Achsah to him for a wife. ¹³ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, the younger one, captured it. And he gave his daughter Achsah to him for a wife. ¹⁴ And it happened as she came, she persuaded him to ask a field from her father. And she dismounted from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What do you desire ? ¹⁵ And she said to him, Give a blessing to me. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, also you shall give springs of water to me. And Caleb gave the upper springs and the lower springs to her.

¹² And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not believe in Me, to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring in this congregation to the land which I have given to them.

¹³ And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as your brother Aaron was gathered. ¹⁴ For you rebelled against My mouth in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes. they were the Waters of Strife in Kadesh, in the desert of Zin.

²³ And I prayed to Jehovah for favor at that time, saying, ²⁴ Lord Jehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand (for who is a God in the heavens or in the earth who can do according to Your works and according to Your might?) ²⁵ I pray to You, let me pass over and see the good land which is beyond the Jordan, this good hill country, and Lebanon. ²⁶ But Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. And Jehovah said to me, let it be enough for you; do not speak any more to Me about this thing.

²¹ And Jehovah was angry with me because of your words, and swore I would not pass over the Jordan, and that I might not go into the good land which Jehovah your God is giving to you as an inheritance.

⁴ And Jehovah said to him, This is the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed. I have caused you to see with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.

³² And they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill for Moses because of them; ³³ for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

⁹ And Moses said to Joshua, Choose men for us, and go fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill, and the staff of God in my hand. ¹⁰ And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight against Amalek And Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ And so it was that when Moses lifted his hand, Israel prevailed. And when he rested his hand, Amalek conquered. ¹² And the hands of Moses became heavy. And they took a stone and put it under him. And he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one from this and one from that side . And his hands were steady until the going of the sun. ¹³ And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword. ¹⁴ And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this, a memorial in a book, and set it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek under the heavens.

¹³ And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant. And Moses went up to the mountain of God.

¹¹ And Jehovah would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp. And his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man did not leave the middle of the tabernacle.

⁸ of the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua the son of Nun;

¹⁶ These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

³⁰ You shall certainly not come into the land which I lifted up My hand to cause you to live in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.

¹⁸ And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him. ¹⁹ And cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight. ²⁰ And you shall put your honor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will listen. ²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask for him according to the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah. At his mouth they shall go out, and at his mouth they shall come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation. ²² And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him. And he took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation. ²³ And he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, even as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses.

²⁸ And command Joshua and make him strong, and make him brave, for he shall cross over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.

⁷ And Moses called for Joshua, and said to him before the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and brave, for you shall go in with this people to the land which Jehovah has sworn to their fathers, to give it to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. ⁸ And Jehovah is He who is going before you; He Himself shall be with you; He shall not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be afraid.

²³ And He commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and brave. For you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them, and I shall be with you.

¹ And it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

⁶ Be strong and brave. For you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them. ⁷ Only be strong and very brave, so that you may take heed to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may act wisely wherever you go. ⁸ This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you shall be on guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall prosper your way, and then you shall act wisely. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.

²² And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.

²⁹ Do you see a man who is prompt in his work? He shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before obscure men .

³¹ As for your infants, of whom you have said, They shall be a prey, I shall bring them in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

¹⁵ He shall eat curds and honey until He knows to refuse the evil and choose the good. ¹⁶ For before the boy shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you hate will be forsaken before both her kings.

¹¹ and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

¹¹ for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of the One calling,

³ among whom we also all conducted ourselves in times past in the lusts of our flesh, doing the things willed of the flesh and of the understandings, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as the rest.

²⁵ And the Amalekite and the Canaanite were living in the valley. Tomorrow turn and pull up stakes for yourselves; going into the wilderness, the way of the Sea of Reeds.

³⁹ And Moses told these words to all the sons of Israel; and the people mourned deeply. ⁴⁰ And they rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and we will go up to the place which Jehovah has said, for we have sinned. ⁴¹ And Moses said, Why do you now transgress the mouth of Jehovah, since it will not prosper? ⁴² Do not go up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, even that you shall not be defeated by your enemies. ⁴³ For the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there before you; and you shall fall by the sword because you have turned back from following Jehovah; and Jehovah is not with you. ⁴⁴ And they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses did not leave the middle of the camp. ⁴⁵ And the Amalekite and the Canaanite living in that mountain came down and struck them, and beat them down, to Hormah.

³⁴ And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned, for I did not know that You stood against me in the way. Now if evil is in Your eyes, I will turn back by myself.

³ The foolishness of man overturns his way, and his heart rages against Jehovah.

¹⁷ And I shall set My face against you, and you shall be smitten before your enemies; and those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee, and there will be no one pursuing you.

⁴¹ And Moses said, Why do you now transgress the mouth of Jehovah, since it will not prosper? ⁴² Do not go up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, even that you shall not be defeated by your enemies. ⁴³ For the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there before you; and you shall fall by the sword because you have turned back from following Jehovah; and Jehovah is not with you.

⁸ Oh Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned its back before its enemies? ⁹ And the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear, and shall come around against us, and shall cut off our name out of the earth. And what shall You do for Your great name? ¹⁰ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you fall on your face this way? ¹¹ Israel has sinned, and they also have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and have also taken of the cursed things, and have also stolen, and also deceived, and also put it among their stuff. ¹² And the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; they have turned the back before their enemies because they have become cursed. I will not be with you again if you do not destroy the cursed things from among you. ¹³ Rise up, sanctify the people, and you shall say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow. For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, A cursed thing is among you, Israel; you are not able to stand before your enemies until you take away the cursed thing from among you.

² And the Philistines set themselves in order to meet Israel, and the battle was spread. And Israel was stricken before the Philistines. And they struck about four thousand men from the battle line in the field.

¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was beaten. And they each one fled to his tent. And the blow was very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.

¹⁷ One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one. You shall flee from the rebuke of five, until you are left like a pole on the top of the mountain, and like a sign on a hill.

¹ Behold, the hand of Jehovah is not shortened from saving, nor is His ear heavy from hearing. ² But your iniquities are coming between you and your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.

¹² Though they nourish their sons, yet I will make them childless, without a man. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them!

⁴⁴ And they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses did not leave the middle of the camp.

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither can it be . ⁸ And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.

⁴⁵ And the Amalekite and the Canaanite living in that mountain came down and struck them, and beat them down, to Hormah.

³ And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called Hormah.

²⁵ Jehovah shall cause you to be stricken before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And you shall be a trembling to all the kingdoms of the earth.

³⁰ How could one chase a thousand, and two put a myriad to flight, if it were not their Rock that sold them, and Jehovah had shut them up?

¹² they surround me like bees; they are quenched like the fire of thorns; for surely I will cut them off in the name of Jehovah.

¹⁸ And it shall be, in that day Jehovah shall hiss for the fly that is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee in the land of Assyria.

³⁴ When He killed them, then they sought Him; and they turned and searched for God.

¹⁷ for you know also that afterwards desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, although seeking it with tears. Gen. 27:36-39

³⁴ by the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a day for a year, a day for a year; you shall bear your iniquities forty years; you shall know My alienation from you .

²² And the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, pulled up stakes from Kadesh and came in to Mount Hor.

¹⁶ For when they came up out of Egypt, Israel went in the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds, and came in at Kadesh. ¹⁷ And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass on through your land, and the king of Edom did not listen. And Israel sent also to the king of Moab, and he was not willing. And Israel remained in Kadesh.
