¹ These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel, on the other side Jordan in the wilderness and in the fields by the reed sea, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab; ² eleven days journey from Horeb unto Kadesh Barnea, by the way that leadeth unto mount Seir. ³ And it fortuned, the first day of the eleventh month in the fortieth year, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them, ⁴ after that he had smote Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei. ⁵ On the other side Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying, ⁶ "The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, 'Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: ⁷ depart therefore and take your journey and go unto the hills of the Amorites and unto all places nigh thereunto, both fields, hills and dales: and unto the south and unto the sea's side in the land of Canaan, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river Euphrates. ⁸ Behold, I have set the land before you: go in therefore and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.' ⁹ And I said unto you the same season, 'I am not able to bear you myself alone. ¹⁰ For the LORD your God hath multiplied you: so that ye are this day as the stars of heaven in number.' ¹¹ — 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 - ¹² 'How,' said I, 'can I myself alone bear the cumbrance, charge, and strife that is among you? ¹³ Bring therefore men of wisdom and of understanding and expert, known among your tribes, that I may make them rulers over you.' ¹⁴ And ye answered me, and said, 'That which thou hast spoken is good to be done.' ¹⁵ And then I took the heads of your tribes, men of wisdom and that were expert, and made them rulers over you: captains over thousands and over hundreds, over fifty and over ten, and officers among your tribes. ¹⁶ And I charged your judges the same time, saying, 'Hear your brethren and judge righteously between every man and his brother and the stranger that is with him. ¹⁷ See that ye know no man in judgment: but hear the small as well as the great and be afraid of no man, for the judgment is God's. And the cause that is too hard for you, bring unto me and I will hear it.' ¹⁸ And I commanded you the same season, all the things which ye should do. ¹⁹ And then we departed from Horeb and walked through all that great and terrible wilderness, as ye have seen along by the way that leadeth unto the hills of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us, and came to Kadesh Barnea. ²⁰ And there I said unto you, 'Ye are come unto the hills of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us. ²¹ Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee. Go up and conquer it, as the LORD God of thy fathers sayeth unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged.' ²² And then ye came unto me every one and said, 'Let us send men before us, to search us out the land and to bring us word again, both what way we shall go up by, and unto what cities we shall come.' ²³ And the saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you; of every tribe, one. ²⁴ And they departed and went up into the high country and came unto the river Eshcol, and searched it out, ²⁵ and took of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down unto us and brought us word again, and said, 'It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.' ²⁶ Notwithstanding, ye would not consent to go up, but were disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD your God, ²⁷ and murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us. ²⁸ How shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller than we, and the cities are great and walled even up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.' ²⁹ And I said unto you, 'Dread not, nor be afraid of them: ³⁰ The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did unto you in Egypt before your eyes ³¹ and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, throughout all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.' ³² And yet for all this saying ye did not believe the LORD your God, ³³ which goeth the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents in; in fire by night — that ye might see what way to go — and in a cloud by day. ³⁴ And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was wroth and swore saying, ³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers, ³⁶ save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the LORD.' ³⁷ Likewise the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, 'Thou also shalt not go in thither. ³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel. ³⁹ Moreover, your children, which ye said should be a prey; and your sons, which know neither good nor bad this day; they shall go in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it. ⁴⁰ But as for you, turn back and take your journey into the wilderness: even the way to the reed sea.' ⁴¹ Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have sinned against the LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war and were ready to go up into the hills, ⁴² the LORD said unto me, 'Say unto them: see that ye go not up and that ye fight not, for I am not among you: lest ye be plagued before your enemies.' ⁴³ And when I told you, ye would not hear: but disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hills. ⁴⁴ Then the Amorites, which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. ⁴⁵ And ye came again and wept before the LORD: but the LORD would not hear your voice nor give you audience. ⁴⁶ And so ye abode in Kadesh a long season, according unto the time that ye there dwelt.

¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, I have made thee Pharaoh's God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. ² Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. ³ But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ And yet Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may set mine hand upon Egypt and bring out mine armies, even my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought out the children of Israel from among them." ⁶ Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. ⁷ And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty three when they spake unto Pharaoh. ⁸ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ⁹ "When Pharaoh speaketh unto you and sayeth, 'Show a wonder,' then shalt thou say unto Aaron, 'Take the rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall turn to a serpent.'" ¹⁰ Then went Moses and Aaron in unto Pharaoh, and did even as the LORD had commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it turned to a serpent. ¹¹ Then Pharaoh called for the wise men, and enchanters of Egypt did in like manner with their sorcery. ¹² And they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to serpents; but Aaron's rod ate up their rods. ¹³ And yet, for all that, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so that he hearkened not unto them, even as the LORD had said. ¹⁴ Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened, and he refuseth to let the people go. ¹⁵ Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning, for he will come unto the water, and stand thou upon the river's brink against he come, and the rod which turned to a serpent take in thine hand. ¹⁶ And say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying: let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear. ¹⁷ Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD: hereby thou shalt know that I am the LORD. Behold, I will smite with the staff that is in mine hand upon the waters that are in the river, and they shall turn to blood. ¹⁸ And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink: so that it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.'" ¹⁹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Take thy staff and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, rivers, ponds and all pools of water, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood in all the land of Egypt: both in vessels of wood and also of stone.'" ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD commanded. And he lift up the staff and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the river, turned into blood. ²¹ And the fish that was in the river died, and the river stank: so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river. And there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. ²² And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their enchantments, so that Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not regard them, as the LORD had said. ²³ And Pharaoh turned himself and went into his house, and set not his heart thereunto. ²⁴ And the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river. ²⁵ And it continued a week after that the LORD had smote the river.

²⁴ And in the morning watch, the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, and troubled their host; ²⁵ and smote off their chariot wheels and cast them down to the ground. Then said the Egyptians, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD fighteth for them against us."

¹ Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song unto the LORD, and said, "Let us sing unto the LORD, for he is become glorious, the horse and him that rode upon him hath he overthrown in the sea! ² The LORD is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. He is my God, and I will glorify him! He is my father's God, and I will lift him up on high! ³ The LORD is a man of war, Jehovah is his name: ⁴ Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His jolly captains are drowned in the reed sea; ⁵ the deep waters have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone. ⁶ Thine hand, LORD, is glorious in power, thine hand, LORD, hath all to dashed the enemy. ⁷ And with thy great glory thou hast destroyed thine adversaries! Thou sentest forth thy wrath and it consumed them, even as stubble. ⁸ With the breath of thine anger the water gathered together and the floods stood still as a rock, and the deep water congealed together in the midst of the sea. ⁹ The enemy said, 'I will follow and overtake them, and will divide the spoil: I will satisfy my lust upon them: I will draw my sword, and mine hand shall destroy them.' ¹⁰ Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters. ¹¹ Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among gods? Who is like thee, so glorious in holiness, fearful, laudable and that showest wonders? ¹² Thou stretchedest out thy right hand, and in the earth swallowed them. ¹³ And thou carriedest with thy mercy this people which thou deliveredest, and broughtest them with thy strength unto thy holy habitation! ¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines. ¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted.

¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted. ¹⁶ Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten. ¹⁷ Bring them in and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place, LORD, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have prepared. ¹⁸ The LORD reign ever and always!" ¹⁹ For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Israel went on dry land through the midst of the sea. ²⁰ And Miriam, a prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women came out after her with timbrels in a dance. ²¹ And Miriam sang before them, "Sing ye unto the LORD, for he is become glorious indeed! The horse and his rider hath he overthrown in the sea!" ²² Moses brought Israel from the reed sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days long in the wilderness, and could find no water. ²³ At the last they came to Marah: but they could not drink of the waters for bitterness, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of the place was called Marah. ²⁴ Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" ²⁵ And Moses cried unto the LORD, and he showed him a tree: and he cast it into the water, and they waxed sweet. There he made them an ordinance and a law, and there he tempted them, ²⁶ and said, "If ye will hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight and will give an ear unto his commandments, and keep all his ordinances: then will I put none of these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the LORD thy surgeon." ²⁷ And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water and seventy date trees, and they pitched there by the water.

¹ And they took their journey from Elim, and all the whole company of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which lieth between Elim and Sinai, the fifteenth day of the second month after that they were come out of the land of Egypt. ² And the whole multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, ³ and said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole multitude for hunger."

³ and said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole multitude for hunger." ⁴ Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven down to you, and let the people go out, and gather day by day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law or no. ⁵ The sixth day let them prepare that which they will bring in, and let it be twice as much as they gather in daily." ⁶ And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, "At even ye shall know that it is the LORD which brought you out of the land of Egypt; ⁷ and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD — for what are we that ye should murmur against us?" ⁸ And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

⁸ And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD." ⁹ And Moses spake unto Aaron, "Say unto all the company of the children of Israel, 'Come forth before the LORD, for he hath heard your grudgings.'" ¹⁰ And as Aaron spake unto the whole multitude of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness: and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in a cloud. ¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹² "I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, tell them therefore and say that at evening they shall eat flesh, and in the morning they shall be filled with bread, and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God." ¹³ And at evening the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host. ¹⁴ And when the dew was fallen: behold, it lay upon the ground in the wilderness, small and round and thin as the hoarfrost on the ground. ¹⁵ When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is this?" For they wist not what it was. And Moses said, "This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. ¹⁶ This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, that ye gather every man enough for him to eat: a gomer full for a man according to the number of you, and gather every man for them which are in his tent." ¹⁷ And the children of Israel did even so, and gathered some more some less,

⁶ Behold, I will stand there before thee upon a rock in Horeb: and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out thereof, that the people may drink." And Moses did even so before the elders of Israel.

⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua, "Choose out men and go fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill and the rod of God in mine hand." ¹⁰ And Joshua did as Moses bade him, and fought with the Amalekites. And Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ And when Moses held up his hand, Israel had the better. And when he let his hand down, Amalek had the better. ¹² When Moses' hands were weary, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat down thereon. And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the sun was down. ¹³ And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of his sword. ¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Write this for a remembrance in a book and tell it unto Joshua, for I will put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

¹³ And it chanced on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from morning unto evening. ¹⁴ When his father-in-law saw all that he did unto the people, he said, "What is this that thou doest unto the people? Why sittest thou thyself and lettest all the people stand about thee from morning unto even?" ¹⁵ And Moses said unto his father-in-law, "Because the people came unto me to seek counsel of God. ¹⁶ For when they have a matter, they come unto me, and I must judge between every man and his neighbor, and must show them the ordinances of God and his laws."

¹⁸ Thou doest unwisely and also this people that is with thee: because the thing is too grievous for thee, and thou art not able to do it thyself alone.

²¹ Moreover, seek out, among all the people, men of activity which fear God; and men that are true and hate covetousness: and make them heads over the people, captains over thousands, over hundreds, over fifty, and over ten. ²² And let them judge the people at all seasons: If there be any great matter, let them bring that unto thee, and let them judge all small causes them selves, and ease thyself, and let them bear with thee.

²⁵ and chose active men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, captains over thousands, over hundreds, over fifty and over ten. ²⁶ And they judged the people at all seasons, and brought the hard causes unto Moses: and judged all small matters themselves.

²⁶ And they judged the people at all seasons, and brought the hard causes unto Moses: and judged all small matters themselves.

²¹ Vex not a stranger, neither oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

⁶ Thou shalt not hinder the right of the poor that are among you in their suit. ⁷ "Keep thee far from a false matter, and the Innocent and righteous see thou slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

⁷ "Keep thee far from a false matter, and the Innocent and righteous see thou slay not; for I will not justify the wicked. ⁸ Thou shalt take no gifts, for gifts blind the seeing and pervert the words of the righteous. ⁹ Thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for I know the heart of a stranger, because ye were strangers in Egypt.

³¹ And I will make thy coasts from the reed sea unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river. I will deliver the inhabiters of the land into thine hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

¹³ Then Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the hill of God,

¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, departed not out of the tabernacle.

³⁴ And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the glory of the LORD filled the habitation: ³⁵ so that Moses could not enter into the tabernacle of witness, because the cloud abode therein, and the glory of the LORD filled the habitation. ³⁶ When the cloud was taken up from off the habitation, the children of Israel took their journeys, as oft as they journeyed. ³⁷ And if the cloud departed not, they journeyed not till it departed: ³⁸ for the cloud of the LORD was upon the habitation by day, and fire by night: in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

¹⁴ "'If thou offer a meat offering of the first ripe fruits unto the LORD, then take of that which is yet green, and dry it by the fire and beat it small, and so offer the meat offering of thy first ripe fruits.

²³ Then Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness and came out again and blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. Thou shalt not favour the poor nor honour the mighty, but shalt judge thy neighbour righteously.

²² Ye shall have one manner of law among you: even for the stranger as well as for one of yourselves, for I am the LORD your God."

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no man followeth you.

⁴⁶ drew unto the sum of six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

²⁷ For ye shall put my name upon the children of Israel, that I may bless them.'"

¹⁵ And the same day that the habitation was reared up, a cloud covered it on high upon the tabernacle of witness: and at even there was upon the habitation, as it were the similitude of fire until the morning. ¹⁶ And so it was always, that the cloud covered it by day, and the similitude of fire by night. ¹⁷ And when the cloud was taken up from of the tabernacle, then the children of Israel journeyed: and where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. ¹⁸ At the mouth of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the mouth of the LORD they pitched. And as long as the cloud abode upon the habitation, they lay still, ¹⁹ and when the cloud tarried still upon the habitation a long time, the children of Israel waited upon the LORD and journeyed not. ²⁰ If it chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the habitation, then they kept their tents at the mouth of the LORD: and they journeyed also at the commandment of the LORD. ²¹ And if it happened that the cloud was upon the habitation from evening unto morning and was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. ²² But when the cloud tarried two days or a month or a long season upon the habitation, as long as it tarried thereon, the children of Israel kept their tents and journeyed not. And as soon as the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

¹² Have I conceived all this people, or have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, 'Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurse beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?'

¹⁴ I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me. ¹⁵ Wherefore, if thou deal thus with me; kill me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thy sight: and let me not see my wretchedness." ¹⁶ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto me seventy of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness, and let them stand there with thee. ¹⁷ And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone.

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ² "Send men out to search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers, a man; and let them all be such as are rulers among them." ³ And Moses, at the commandment of the LORD, sent forth out of the wilderness of Paran such men as were all heads among the children of Israel, whose names are these:

¹⁶ These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called the name of Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua. ¹⁷ And Moses sent them forth to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, "Get you southward and go up into the high country:

¹⁷ And Moses sent them forth to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, "Get you southward and go up into the high country: ¹⁸ and see the land, what manner thing it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, either few or many;

¹⁸ and see the land, what manner thing it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, either few or many; ¹⁹ and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what manner of cities they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents or walled towns;

¹⁹ and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what manner of cities they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents or walled towns; ²⁰ and what manner of land it is, whether it be fat or lean, and whether there be trees therein or not. And be of a good courage, and bring of the fruits of the land." And it was about the time that grapes are first ripe.

²⁰ and what manner of land it is, whether it be fat or lean, and whether there be trees therein or not. And be of a good courage, and bring of the fruits of the land." And it was about the time that grapes are first ripe. ²¹ And they went up and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men go to Hamath,

²¹ And they went up and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men go to Hamath, ²² and they ascended unto the south and came unto Hebron: where Ahiman was, and Sheshai and Talmai; the sons of Anak. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

²² and they ascended unto the south and came unto Hebron: where Ahiman was, and Sheshai and Talmai; the sons of Anak. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. ²³ And they came unto the river of Eshcol and they cut down there a branch with one cluster of grapes and bare it upon a staff between twain, and also of the pomegranates and of the figs of the place.

²³ And they came unto the river of Eshcol and they cut down there a branch with one cluster of grapes and bare it upon a staff between twain, and also of the pomegranates and of the figs of the place. ²⁴ The river was called Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down there.

²⁴ The river was called Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down there. ²⁵ And they turned back again from searching the land, at forty days' end.

²⁵ And they turned back again from searching the land, at forty days' end. ²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron and unto all the multitude of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran: even unto Kadesh, and brought them word and also unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron and unto all the multitude of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran: even unto Kadesh, and brought them word and also unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron and unto all the multitude of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran: even unto Kadesh, and brought them word and also unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ And they told him, saying, "We came unto the land whither thou sendedst us, and surely it is a land that floweth with milk and honey and here is of the fruit of it.

²⁷ And they told him, saying, "We came unto the land whither thou sendedst us, and surely it is a land that floweth with milk and honey and here is of the fruit of it. ²⁸ Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great, and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. ²⁹ The Amalekites dwell in the south country, and the Hittites, Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along by the coast of Jordan." ³⁰ And Caleb stilled the murmur of the people against Moses, saying, "Let us go up and conquer it, for we be able to overcome it."

³⁰ And Caleb stilled the murmur of the people against Moses, saying, "Let us go up and conquer it, for we be able to overcome it." ³¹ But the men that went up with him said, "We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." ³² And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched, unto the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we have gone through, to search it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabiters thereof, and the people that we saw in it are men of stature. ³³ And there we saw also giants, the children of Anak which are of the giants. And we seemed in our sight as it were grasshoppers and so we did in their sight."

¹ And the multitude cried out, and the people wept throughout that night, ² and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness. ³ Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?"

³ Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?" ⁴ And they said, one to another, "Let us make a captain and return unto Egypt again."

⁸ If the LORD have lust to us, he will bring us into this land and give it us, which is a land that floweth with milk and honey. ⁹ But in any wise, rebel not against the LORD. Moreover fear ye not the people of the land, for they are but bread for us. Their shield is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not therefore."

¹⁴ And it will be told to the inhabiters of this land also, for they have heard likewise, that thou the LORD art among this people, and that thou art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

²² For of all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now this ten times and have not hearkened unto my voice, ²³ there shall not one see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that railed upon me, see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it,

²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it, ²⁵ and also the Amalekites and Canaanites which dwell in the low countries. Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness: even the way toward the reed sea."

²⁵ and also the Amalekites and Canaanites which dwell in the low countries. Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness: even the way toward the reed sea." ²⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ²⁷ "How long shall this evil multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel which they murmur against me. ²⁸ Tell them that the LORD sayeth, 'As truly as I live, I will do unto you even as ye have spoken in mine ears. ²⁹ Your carcasses shall lie in this wilderness, neither shall any of these numbers which were numbered from twenty years and above of you which have murmured against me ³⁰ come in to the land over which I lifted mine hand to make you dwell therein — save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁰ come in to the land over which I lifted mine hand to make you dwell therein — save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ³¹ And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused,

³⁴ after the number of the days in which ye searched out the land forty days, and every day a year: so that they shall bear your unrighteousness forty years, and ye shall feel my vengeance.

³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. ³⁹ And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel, and the people took great sorrow. ⁴⁰ And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned." ⁴¹ And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass:

⁴¹ And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass: ⁴² go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not slain before your enemies.

⁴² go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not slain before your enemies. ⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you."

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you." ⁴⁴ But they were blinded to go up into the hilltop: Neverthelater, the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses departed not out of the host.

⁴⁴ But they were blinded to go up into the hilltop: Neverthelater, the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses departed not out of the host. ⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, came down and smote them and hewed them: even unto Hormah.

⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, came down and smote them and hewed them: even unto Hormah.

¹ And the whole multitude of the children of Israel, came into the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt at Kadesh. And there died Miriam, and was buried there.

¹² And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, "Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."

¹⁷ let us go a good fellowship through thy country: we will not go through the fields nor through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will go by the highway and neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left, until we be past thy country." ¹⁸ And Edom answered him, "See thou come not by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword." ¹⁹ And the children of Israel said unto him, "We will go by the beaten way: and if either we or our cattle drink of thy water, we will pay for it, we will do no more but pass through by foot only." ²⁰ And he said, "Ye shall not go through." And Edom came out against him with much people and with a mighty power. ²¹ And thus Edom denied to give Israel passage through his country; And Israel turned away from him. ²² And the children of Israel removed from Kadesh and went unto mount Hor with all the congregation.

³ And the LORD heard the voice of Israel, and delivered them the Canaanites. And they destroyed both them and their cities, and called the place Hormah.

⁵ And the people spake against God and against Moses, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, for to die in the wilderness? For here is neither bread nor water, and our souls loatheth this light bread."

²¹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, ²² "Let us go through thy land; We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go along by the common way, until we be past thy country." ²³ And Sihon would give Israel no license to pass through his country, but gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel. ²⁴ And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and conquered his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok: even unto the children of Ammon. For the borders of the children of Ammon are strong. ²⁵ And Israel took all these cities and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites: in Heshbon and in all the towns that long thereto. ²⁶ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites which Sihon had fought before with the king of the Moabites, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon. ²⁷ Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say: "Go to Heshbon and let the city of Sihon be built and made ready! ²⁸ For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites and the men of the hills of Arnon! ²⁹ Woe be to thee, Moab! O people of Chemosh, ye are forlorn! His sons are put to flight and his daughters brought captive unto Sihon, king of the Amorites! ³⁰ Their light is out, from Heshbon unto Dibon! And we made a wilderness even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba!" ³¹ And thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. ³² And Moses sent to search out Jazer, and they took the towns belonging thereto and conquered the Amorites that were there. ³³ And then they turned and went up toward Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, came out against them, both he and all his people, to war at Edrei. ³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sihon, the king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon." ³⁵ And they smote him and his sons and all his people, until there was nothing left him. And they conquered his land.

¹² And God said unto Balaam, "Thou shalt not go with them, neither curse the people: for they are blessed."

³⁴ And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me. Now therefore if it displease thine eyes, I will turn again."

⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹³ And when thou hast seen it, thou shalt be gathered unto thy people also; as Aaron thy brother was gathered unto his people. ¹⁴ For ye were disobedient unto my mouth in the desert of Zin in the strife of the congregation, that ye sanctified me not in the water before their eyes." That is the water of strife in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.

¹⁸ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun in whom there is spirit, and put thine hands upon him, ¹⁹ and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation and give him a charge in their sight.

¹⁹ and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation and give him a charge in their sight. ²⁰ And put of thy praise upon him that all the company of the children of Israel may hear. ²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest which shall ask counsel for him, after the manner of the light, before the LORD: And at the mouth of Eleazar shall both he and all the children of Israel with him, and all the congregation, go in and out." ²² And Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, ²³ and put his hands upon him and give him a charge, as the LORD commanded through the hand of Moses.

¹⁴ And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands and over hundreds, which came from war and battle,

⁵ Wherefore," said they, "if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants to possess, and bring us not over Jordan."

⁸ This did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

⁸ This did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. ⁹ And they went up even unto the river of Eshcol and saw the land, and discouraged the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. ¹⁰ And the LORD was wroth the same time and sware, saying, ¹¹ 'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me: ¹² save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed me continually.'

¹² save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed me continually.' ¹³ And the LORD was angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD were consumed.

¹⁹ For we will not inherit with them on yonder side, Jordan forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side, Jordan eastward."

³² We will go harnessed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall be on this side the Jordan."

¹⁷ And they departed from the sepulchres of lust, and lay at Hazeroth. ¹⁸ And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

³⁸ And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and died there, even in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the first day of the fifth month.

³ And your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, so that your south quarter shall be from the side of the salt sea eastward, ⁴ and shall fetch a compass from the south up to Akrabbim, and reach to Zin. And it shall go out on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, and go out also at Hazaraddar, and go along to Azmon. ⁵ And shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and shall go out at the sea. ⁶ And your west quarter shall be the great sea, which coast shall be your west coast. ⁷ And this shall be your north quarter: ye shall compass from the great sea unto mount Hor. ⁸ And from mount Hor, ye shall compass and go unto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zeded, ⁹ and the coast shall reach out to Ziphron and go out at Hazarenan. And this shall be your north quarter. ¹⁰ And ye shall compass your east quarter from Hazarenan to Shepham. ¹¹ And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And then descend and go out at the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward. ¹² And then go down along by Jordan, and leave at the salt sea. And this shall be your land with all the coasts thereof round about.'"

¹⁵ that is, to wit, two tribes and a half have received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising."

¹⁹ whose names are these: in the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

¹⁴ three ye shall give on this side Jordan and three in the land of Canaan.

² eleven days journey from Horeb unto Kadesh Barnea, by the way that leadeth unto mount Seir.

⁷ depart therefore and take your journey and go unto the hills of the Amorites and unto all places nigh thereunto, both fields, hills and dales: and unto the south and unto the sea's side in the land of Canaan, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river Euphrates. ⁸ Behold, I have set the land before you: go in therefore and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.' ⁹ And I said unto you the same season, 'I am not able to bear you myself alone.

⁴⁴ Then the Amorites, which dwelt in those hills, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and hewed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

⁴ And warn the people, saying: Ye shall go through the coasts of your brethren the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: But take good heed unto yourselves

⁸ And when we were departed from our brethren, the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir by the field way from Elath and Eziongeber, we turned and went the way to the wilderness of Moab.

¹⁴ The space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we were come over the river Zered was thirty eight years: until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out of the host, as the LORD sware unto them. ¹⁵ For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them out of the host, till they were consumed.

²⁶ Then I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,

²² Fear them not, for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you.' ²³ And I besought the LORD the same time, saying, ²⁴ 'O Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand, for there is no God in heaven nor in earth that can do after thy works and after thy power: ²⁵ let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan; that goodly high country, and Lebanon.' ²⁶ But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me, but said unto me, 'Be content, and speak henceforth no more unto me of this matter;

²⁸ Moreover, charge Joshua and courage him and bold him. For he shall go over before his people, and he shall divide the land which thou shalt see, unto them.'

¹ And now hearken, Israel, unto the ordinances and laws which I teach you, for to do them: that ye may live and go and conquer the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. ² Ye shall put nothing unto the word which I command you, neither do ought therefrom, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

⁵ Behold, I have taught you ordinances and laws, such as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do even so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

⁸ Yea, and what nation is so great that hath ordinances and laws so righteous, as all this law which I set before you this day?

²¹ Furthermore, the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan and that I should not go unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inheritance.

⁴⁰ Keep therefore his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth which the LORD thy God giveth thee forever."

² The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

¹⁵ and which led thee in the wilderness both great and terrible with fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst where was no water, which brought the water out of the rock of flint:

¹ Hear, Israel: thou goest over Jordan this day, to go and conquer nations greater and mightier than thyself: and cities great and walled up to heaven, ² and people great and tall, even the children of the Anakims, which thou knowest and of whom thou hast heard say, 'Who is able to stand before the children of Anak?'

²³ Yea, and when the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, 'Go up and conquer the land which I have given you,' ye disobeyed the mouth of the LORD your God, and neither believed him nor hearkened unto his voice.

²⁸ lest the land whence thou broughtest them say: Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them and because he hated them, therefore he carried them out to destroy them in the wilderness.

¹⁷ For the LORD your God, he is God of Gods and Lord of lords; a great God, a mighty and a terrible which regardeth no man's person nor taketh gifts: ¹⁸ but doeth right unto the fatherless and widow and loveth the stranger, to give him food and raiment. ¹⁹ Love therefore the stranger, for ye were strangers yourselves in the land of Egypt.

²² Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy souls, and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven in multitude.

¹¹ but the land whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys and drinketh water of the rain of heaven,

²⁴ All the places whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: even from the wilderness and from Lebanon and from the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coasts be.

²⁸ Take heed and hear all these words which I command thee that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee forever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

³² But whatsoever I command you, that take heed ye do: and put nought thereto, nor take ought therefrom.

¹⁸ Judges and officers thou shalt make thee in all thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee throughout thy tribes: And let them judge the people righteously.

¹⁸ Judges and officers thou shalt make thee in all thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee throughout thy tribes: And let them judge the people righteously. ¹⁹ Wrest not the law, nor know any person, neither take any reward: for gifts blind the wise and pervert the words of the righteous.

¹⁹ Wrest not the law, nor know any person, neither take any reward: for gifts blind the wise and pervert the words of the righteous.

⁸ If a matter be too hard for thee in judgment between blood and blood, plea and plea, stroke and stroke in matters of strife within thy cities: Then arise and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, ⁹ and go unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and ask, and they shall show thee how to judge. ¹⁰ And see that thou do according to that which they of that place which the LORD hath chosen show thee, and see that thou observe to do according to all that they inform thee.

¹⁸ And when he is sitten upon the seat of his kingdom, he shall write him out this second law in a book; taking a copy of the priests' the Levites'. ¹⁹ And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all days of his life that he may learn to fear the LORD his God for to keep all the words of this law and these ordinances for to do them:

¹ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses and chariots and people more than thou, be not afeared of them, for the LORD thy God is with thee which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.

¹ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses and chariots and people more than thou, be not afeared of them, for the LORD thy God is with thee which brought thee out of the land of Egypt. ² And when ye are come nigh unto battle, let the priest come forth and speak unto the people, ³ and say unto them, 'Hear Israel, ye are come unto battle against your enemies, let not your hearts faint, neither fear nor be amazed nor a dread of them. ⁴ For the LORD thy God goeth with you to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.'

⁸ And let the officers speak further unto the people, and say, 'If any man fear and be fainthearted, let him go and return unto his house, lest his brother's heart be made faint as well as his.'

¹⁴ Thou shalt not defraud a hired servant that is needy and poor, whether he be of thy brethren or a stranger that is in thy land within thy cities.

¹⁷ Hinder not the right of the stranger nor of the fatherless, nor take widow's raiment to pledge.

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

²⁵ And the LORD shall plague thee before thine enemies: Thou shalt come out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be scattered among all the kingdoms of the earth.

⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, wheretofore ye were as the stars of heaven in multitude: because thou wouldest not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

⁷ And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and bold, for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them, and thou shalt give it them to inherit. ⁸ And the LORD he shall go before thee and he shall be with thee, and will not let thee go nor forsake thee. Fear not, therefore, nor be discomforted." ⁹ And Moses wrote this law and delivered it unto the priests, the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel,

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thy days are come, that thou must die. Call Joshua and come and stand in the tabernacle of witness, that I may give him a charge." And Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of witness.

²³ And the Lord gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge and said, "Be bold and strong, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them, and I will be with thee."

¹⁰ "He found him in a desert land, in a void ground and a roaring wilderness. He led him about and gave him understanding, and kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹⁰ "He found him in a desert land, in a void ground and a roaring wilderness. He led him about and gave him understanding, and kept him as the apple of his eye. ¹¹ As an eagle that stirreth up her nest and fluttereth over her young, he stretched out his wings and took him up and bare him on his shoulders. ¹² The LORD alone was his guide — and there was no strange god with him.

³⁰ How cometh it that one shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand of them to flight — except their rock had sold them, and because the LORD had delivered them.

⁴⁶ then he said unto them, "Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify unto you this day: that ye command them unto your children, to observe and do all the words of this law.

² saying, "The LORD came from Sinai, and showed his beams from Seir unto them; and appeared gloriously from mount Paran, and he came with thousands of saints, and in his righthand a law of fire for them.

⁴ And the LORD said unto him, "This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it unto thy seed. I have showed it thee before thine eyes: but thou shalt not go over thither."

¹ After the death of Moses, the servant of the LORD, the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

⁴ from the wilderness and this Lebanon unto the great river Euphrates; and all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coasts.

⁶ Be strong and bold: for unto this people shalt thou divide the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

⁶ Be strong and bold: for unto this people shalt thou divide the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. ⁷ Above all things, be strong and harden thyself, to observe and to do according to all the laws which Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn there from neither to the righthand, nor to the left: that thou mayest have understanding in all thou takest in hand. ⁸ Let not the book of this law depart out of thy mouth: but record therein day and night that thou mayest be circumspect to do according to all that is written therein. For then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have understanding. ⁹ Behold, I have said unto thee, be strong and bold: neither fear, nor dread. For the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

⁹ Behold, I have said unto thee, be strong and bold: neither fear, nor dread. For the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

¹ Then Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two spies, secretly, saying, "Go and view the land and also Jericho." And they went, and came unto a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. ² And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold there came men in hither tonight, of the children of Israel, to spy out the country."

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming.

¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint. And there remained no more courage in any man for fear of your coming. For the LORD your God; he is the God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.

²⁴ And they said unto Joshua, "The LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land, for all the inhabiters of the country faint for fear of us."

⁸ Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies? ⁹ Moreover, the Canaanites, and all the inhabiters of the land shall hear of it, and shall come about us and destroy the name of us out of the world. And then what wilt thou do unto thy mighty name?" ¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "Get thee up, wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? ¹¹ Israel hath sinned and also transgressed my covenant, which I commanded them, and have taken of the excommunicate things, and have stolen and hid them, and also put them unto their own stuff: ¹² And therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they be excommunicate. Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you. ¹³ Up, and sanctify the people and bid them to sanctify themselves against the morrow: for so sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'The excommunication is among you Israel, and therefore ye cannot stand before your enemies, until ye have put the excommunication from among you.

¹ And when all the kings that dwell on this side Jordan, in the hills and valleys, and along by all the coasts of the great sea even unto Lebanon — the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites - heard,

¹⁰ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond Jordan, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan which dwelt at Ashtaroth.

⁴⁰ And Joshua smote all the hill countries and the south countries, and the valleys, and the springs of water, with all their kings and let nought remain, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

⁴² And all those kings and their land, Joshua took at one time: because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

¹⁶ And so Joshua took all the land, the hills and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plains, and the mountain of Israel, with the low country of the same, ¹⁷ even from mount Halak that goeth up to Seir, unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon. And all the kings of the same, he took and smote them, and slew them.

²² so that there was not one Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod, there remained of them.

² Sihon king of the Amorites that dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which lieth on the brim of the river of Arnon, and to the middle of the river, and half Gilead unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon; ³ And in the plain unto the sea of Chinnereth eastward, and unto the sea in the plain called the salt sea eastward, the way to Bethjeshimoth and by south under the springs of Pisgah. ⁴ And the coasts of Og, king of Bashan which was of the remnant of the Rephaim and dwelt at Ashtaroth, and Edrei; ⁵ and reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and throughout all Bashan, unto the borders, of the Geshurites, and the Maacathites and half Gilead, unto the borders of Sihon king of Heshbon. ⁶ Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smote them, and Moses the servant of the LORD, gave their lands a possession, unto the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites which reigned in Heshbon, even unto the borders of the children of Ammon; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the lands that border upon the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all mount Hermon and all Bashan unto Salecah; ¹² even all the kingdom of Og in Bashan which reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei which same remained yet of the rest of the Rephaim. But Moses smote them and destroyed them.

⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea.

⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea. ⁷ Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought them word again even as I thought in mine heart. ⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end.

⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end. ⁹ And Moses sware the same season saying, 'The land whereon thy feet have trodden, shall be thine inheritance and thy children forever because thou hast followed the LORD my God continually.' ¹⁰ And now behold, the LORD hath kept me lusty, as he said, this forty and five years, even since the LORD spake unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. And now see I am this day four score and five years: ¹¹ and yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: look how strong I was then, so strong I am now, to war and to do all manner of things. ¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain which the LORD at that time promised, for thou heardest at the time, how the Anakims were there, and how the cities were great and walled. I trust the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said." ¹³ And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit. ¹⁴ And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day: because he followed the LORD God of Israel perpetually.

¹⁴ And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons begotten of Anak.

⁴ And now the LORD hath given rest unto your brethren as he promised them. Wherefore, return and go unto your tents and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

⁷ Unto the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses gave possession in Bashan: and unto the other half thereof gave Joshua with their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And also when Joshua sent them away unto their tents and blessed them,

¹⁵ But if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, then choose you this day, whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other side of the water, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land, ye dwelt. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

¹⁰ And Judah went unto the Cananites that dwelt in Hebron, which before time was called Kiriatharba. And slew Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.

¹² And Caleb said, "He that smiteth Kiriathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife." ¹³ And Othniel the son of Kenaz Caleb's younger brother took it: to whom he gave Achsah his daughter to wife, ¹⁴ and as they went she counseled him to ask of her father a field. And then she lighted off her ass, and Caleb said unto her, "What aileth thee?" ¹⁵ She said unto him, "Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a southward and a dry land. Give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her springs both above and beneath.

²⁰ And they gave Hebron unto Caleb as Moses said. And he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

¹⁶ But when Israel came out of Egypt, they walked through the wilderness, even unto the reed sea, and came to Kadesh, ¹⁷ and sent messengers unto the king of Edom saying, 'Let us, we pray thee, go through thy land.' But the king of Edom would not agree thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab, but he would not consent. And so Israel abode still in Kadesh.

² and put themselves in array against Israel. And in the end of the battle Israel was put to the worse before the Philistines. And the Philistines slew in array along by the fields, about a four thousand men.

¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was put to the worse and fled, every man into his tent. And there was a mighty great slaughter, so that there were overthrown of Israel, thirty thousand footmen.

¹² and will make him captains of them over thousands and over fifties, and set them to ear his ground, and to gather in his harvest, and to make instruments of war and apparel for his chariots.

³ Behold, here I am. Answer me before the LORD and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Whom have I done wrong to? Or whom have I oppressed? And of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blind mine eyes therewith? And I will restore it you again." ⁴ And they said, "Thou hast done us no wrong, nor oppressed us; neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand."

⁷ But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his fashion nor on the height of his stature, for I have refused him. Because it is not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance: but the LORD beholdeth the heart."

²² And Saul sent to Jesse saying, "Let David remain with me, for he hath found favour in my sight."

¹⁸ And carry these ten fresh cheeses unto the captain, and look how thy brethren fare, and set out their pledges."

⁴⁵ Then said David to the Philistine, "Thou comest to me with a sword, a spear, and a shield: But I come to thee in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the host of Israel whom thou hast railed upon. ⁴⁶ This day shall the LORD deliver thee into my hand, and I shall smite thee and take thine head from thee, and will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the earth — and all the world shall know that there is a God in Israel.

⁷ he said unto his servants that stood about him, "Hear I pray you, you sons of Benjamin: will the son of Jesse also give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains over thousands and over hundreds,

¹ And then Samuel died, and all Israel gathered together and lamented him, and buried him in his own house at Ramah. And David arose and gat him to the wilderness of Paran.

³ David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as he went to make the end of his coasts at the river Euphrates.

¹⁴ For we must needs die, and perish as water spilt on the ground which cannot be gathered up again: and God will not take away the life, but find the means that the banished be not utterly expelled from him.

¹⁶ And David waxed fainty, and Ishbi of Nob one of the sons of the Giants whose spear head weighed three hundredth sicles of brass, and was girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David. ¹⁷ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the servants of David sware unto him, saying, "Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that the light of Israel be not put out." ¹⁸ And there was yet, after this, battle with the Philistines at Nob, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph of the sons of Haraphah. ¹⁹ And there was yet the third battle in Gob, with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of the Jair slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite: the staff of whose spear was as great as a weaver's cloth beam. ²⁰ And there was yet battle in Gath, where was a man of a size and had on every hand six fingers and on every foot six toes — twenty four in all — and was also of the kindred of the Giants, and defied Israel. ²¹ And Jonathan the son of Shimei, the brother of David, slew him. ²² These four were of the sons of the Giants in Gath, and were overthrown by the hand of David and by the hands of his servants.

³ The God of Israel spake unto me, and the strength of Israel said, 'He that beareth rule over men, he that ruleth justly in the fear of God,

³ And Joab said unto the king, "I beseech that the LORD thy God make the people as many more as they be: yea and a hundred times so many more, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see them. But how is it that my lord the king hath a lust in this thing?"

⁷ And now LORD, my God, it is thou that hast made thy servant king instead of David my father. And I am a young lad and know not how to order myself. ⁸ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a people that are so many that they can not be told nor numbered for multitude. ⁹ Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, and to discern between good, and bad. For who is able to judge this, thy so weighty a people?"

⁸ And she wrote a letter in Ahab's name and sealed it with his seal, and sent it unto the elders and chief men of his city that dwelt where Naboth dwelt. ⁹ And she wrote in the letter, saying, "Proclaim fasting and set Naboth on high among the people, ¹⁰ and set two unthrifties before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'Thou didst curse both God and the king.' And upon that carry him out and stone him to death." ¹¹ And the elders and nobles of his city, which dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letter which she had sent unto them. ¹² They proclaimed fasting, and set Naboth on high among the people, ¹³ and there came in two unthrifty persons and sat before him. And the two unthrifty persons witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth did curse God and the king." And upon that they carried him out of the city and stoned him with stones to death. ¹⁴ And then they sent to Jezebel saying, "Naboth is stoned to death."

⁹ And eastward he inhabited until the wilderness, even upon the river Euphrates, for their cattle was much in the land of Gilead.

³ And David beat Hadadezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to bring his dominion unto the river Euphrates.

³ And Joab answered, "The LORD make thy people a hundred times so many more as they be. But my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then doth my lord require this thing? Why should my lord be a cause of trespass to Israel?"

²³ But David took not the number of them under twenty years: for the LORD said he would increase Israel like unto the stars of the sky.

¹¹ And Asa cried unto the LORD his God and said, "LORD, it is all one with thee to help them that have no power, with few or with many: help us O LORD our God, for we trust to thee, and in thine name be come against this multitude. Thou art the LORD our God: let not man prevail against thee." ¹² And the LORD smote the black Moors before Asa and Judah, that they fled.

⁶ and said to the judges, "Take heed what ye do: for ye be not judges in the law of man, but of the LORD - which is with you in the words of the law.

⁶ and said to the judges, "Take heed what ye do: for ye be not judges in the law of man, but of the LORD - which is with you in the words of the law. ⁷ Wherefore, let the fear of the LORD be with you, and take heed and do it. For there is no unrighteousness in the LORD our God nor regarding of persons, nor taking of rewards." ⁸ Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and of the priests and of the ancient heads of Israel, over the customs of the LORD and causes of strife. And then they returned again to Jerusalem. ⁹ And he charged them, saying, "Do even so in the fear of the LORD with truth and pure heart. ¹⁰ And whatsoever come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, law, commandment, ordinances and customs: see that ye warn them, that they trespass not against the LORD; lest wrath come upon you and on your brethren. Thus do and ye shall not offend.

²⁰ And so they arose early in the morning and gat them out unto the wilderness of Tekoa. And as they went out Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, Judah and the inhabiters of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and so shall ye continue: and believe his prophets and so shall ye prosper."

⁸ With him is an arm of flesh: But with us is the LORD our God for to help us and to fight our battles!" And the people were well couraged with the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

²⁰ Look in what place now ye hear the noise of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us. Our God shall fight for us,

¹² and leddest them in the daytime in a cloudy pillar; and on the night season in a pillar of fire, to show them light in the way that they went.

¹² and leddest them in the daytime in a cloudy pillar; and on the night season in a pillar of fire, to show them light in the way that they went. ¹³ Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest unto them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, true laws, good commandments and statutes, ¹⁴ and declared unto them thy holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, ordinances, and laws, by Moses thy servant: ¹⁵ and gavest them bread from heaven when they were hungry, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock when they were thirsty: and promised them, that they should go in, and take possession of the land, over which thou hadst lift up thine hand for to give them. ¹⁶ But our fathers were proud, and hard necked, so that they followed not thy commandments, ¹⁷ and refused to hear, and were not mindful of the wonders that thou didst for them: but became obstinate and heady insomuch that they turned back to their bondage in their disobedience. But thou, my God, forgavest, and wast gracious, merciful, patient, and of great goodness, and forsookest them not. ¹⁸ And though they made a molten calf, and said 'This is thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt,' and did great blasphemies, ¹⁹ yet thou forsookest them not in the wilderness, according to thy great mercy. And the cloudy pillar departed not from them in the daytime to lead them the way, neither the pillar of fire in the night season, to show them light in the way that they went. ²⁰ And thou gavest them thy good spirit to inform them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water when they were thirsty. ²¹ Forty years long madest thou provision for them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing: their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. ²² And thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and partest them according to their portions, so that they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan.

²² And thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and partest them according to their portions, so that they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan. ²³ And their children multipliedest thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land whereof thou hadst spoken unto their fathers, that they should go in to it, and have it in possession.

²³ And their children multipliedest thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land whereof thou hadst spoken unto their fathers, that they should go in to it, and have it in possession.

⁶ Thou hast taken the pledge from thy brethren for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothing; ⁷ To such as were weary, hast thou given no water to drink, and thou hast withdrawn bread from the hungry. ⁸ Should such one then as useth violence, wrong and oppression, doing all things of partiality, and having respect of persons, dwell in the land? ⁹ Thou hast sent widows away empty and oppressed the poor fatherless.

¹¹ When all they that heard me, called me happy, and when all they that saw me, wished me good. ¹² "For I delivered the poor when he cried, and the fatherless that wanted help. ¹³ He that should have been lost, gave me a good word, and the widow's heart praised me. ¹⁴ And why? I put upon me righteousness, which covered me as a garment, and equity was my crown. ¹⁵ I was an eye unto the blind, and a foot to the lame; ¹⁶ I was a father unto the poor, and when I knew not their cause, I sought it out diligently. ¹⁷ I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the spoil out of their teeth.

¹³ Did I ever think scorn to do right unto my servants and maidens, when they had any matter against me? ¹⁴ But seeing that God will sit in judgment, what shall I do? And for so much as he will needs visit me, what answer shall I give him? ¹⁵ He that fashioned me in my mother's womb, made he not him also? Were we not both shapen alike in our mother's bodies? ¹⁶ "When the poor desireth anything of me, have I denied it them? Have I caused the widow stand waiting for me in vain?

³⁴ For if I had feared any great multitude of people, or if I had been despised of the simple; Oh then should I have been afraid. Thus have I quietly spent my life, and not gone out at the door.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then should I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? ² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. ³ Though a host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid; and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.

¹ {To the Chanter, a song of the children of Korah upon Alamoth} God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

⁷ The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

¹¹ The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

¹ {To the Chanter, Michtam of David} If your minds be upon righteousness in deed, then judge the thing that is right, O ye sons of men.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

¹¹ They forgot what he had done, and the wonderful works that he had showed for them. ¹² Marvelous things did he in the sight of our forefathers; in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan. ¹³ He divided the sea, and let them go through it; and made the waters to stand in a heap. ¹⁴ In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night through with a light of fire.

¹⁴ In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night through with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He clove the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth. ¹⁶ He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that it gushed out like the rivers. ¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned more against him, and provoked the most highest in the wilderness. ¹⁸ They tempted God in their hearts, and required meat for their lust. ¹⁹ For they spake against God, and said, "Yea yea, God shall prepare a table in the wilderness, shall he? ²⁰ Lo, he smote the stony rock, that the watery streams gushed out, and the streams flowed withal: but how can he give bread and provide flesh for his people?" ²¹ When the LORD heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and heavy displeasure against Israel, ²² because they believed not in God, and put not their trust in his help.

²² because they believed not in God, and put not their trust in his help. ²³ So he commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven. ²⁴ He rained down manna upon them for to eat, and gave them bread from heaven. ²⁵ Then ate they angels' food, for he sent them meat enough. ²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow under the heaven, and through his power he brought in the southwest wind. ²⁷ He rained down manna upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. ²⁸ He let it fall among their tents, even round about their habitations.

³⁴ When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early, and inquired after God.

⁴³ how he had wrought his miracles in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: ⁴⁴ How he turned their waters into blood, so that they might not drink of the rivers; ⁴⁵ How he sent lice among them, to eat them up, and frogs to destroy them; ⁴⁶ How he gave their fruits unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the grasshopper; ⁴⁷ How he beat down their vineyards with hail stones, and their mulberry trees with the frost; ⁴⁸ How he smote their cattle also with hail stones, and their flocks with hot thunderbolts; ⁴⁹ How he sent upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger, displeasure, and trouble, and sent evil angels among them; ⁵⁰ When he made a way to his fearful indignation, and spared not their souls from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; ⁵¹ When he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the most principal and mightiest in the dwellings of Ham.

³ Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right. ⁴ Deliver the outcast and poor, and save them from the hand of the ungodly.

¹⁹ Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

¹¹ Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

²⁷ These did his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸ He sent darkness, and it was dark; for they were not obedient unto his word. ²⁹ He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. ³⁰ Their land brought forth frogs; yea, even in their king's chambers. ³¹ He spake the word, and there came all manner of flies and lice in all their quarters. ³² He gave them hail stones for rain, and flames of fire in their land. ³³ He smote their vineyards and fig trees, and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts. ³⁴ He spake the word, and the grasshoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable, ³⁵ and did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruits of their ground. ³⁶ He smote all the firstborn in their land, even the chief of all their strength.

³⁹ He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night season.

³⁹ He spread out a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night season. ⁴⁰ At their desire, there came quails; and he filled them with the bread of heaven. ⁴¹ He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, so that rivers ran in the dry places.

²⁴ Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence unto his word,

²⁴ Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence unto his word, ²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

³² They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that he punished Moses for their sakes, ³³ because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

¹⁴ The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹² They came about me like bees, and are extinguished even as the fire among the thorns; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan -

¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites! For his mercy endureth forever. ²⁰ And Og, the king of Bashan! For his mercy endureth forever.

³ Foolishness maketh a man to go out of his way, and then is his heart impatient against the LORD.

²² See that thou rob not the poor because he is weak, and oppress not the simple in judgment; ²³ for the LORD himself will defend their cause, and do violence unto them that have used violence.

²⁹ Seest thou not, that they which be diligent in their business stand before kings, and not among the simple people?

²³ These are also the sayings of the wise. It is not good to have respect of any person in judgment.

²⁵ He that feareth men, shall have a fall; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall come to honour.

⁵ Moreover upon all the dwellings of the hill of Zion and upon their whole congregation, shall the LORD provide a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for all their glory shall be preserved. ⁶ And Jerusalem shall be a tabernacle for a shadow because of heat in the daytime, and place and refuge where a man may keep him from weather and rain.

⁹ And the chief city of Ephraim is Samaria, but the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. And if ye believe not, there shall no promise be kept with you.'"

¹⁵ He shall eat butter and honey, that he may have understanding to refuse the evil and to choose the good. ¹⁶ For before the child come to knowledge, to eschew the evil and chose the good, the land that thou so abhorest shall be desolate of both her kings.

¹⁸ For at the same time shall the LORD whistle for the flies that are about the water of Egypt, and for the bees in the Assyrian land.

⁹ Go together ye people, and gather you, hearken to all ye of far countries. Muster you, and you shall be broken down: prepare you to battle and you shall be torn in pieces. ¹⁰ Take your counsel together, yet must your counsel come to nought; go in hand withal, yet shall it not prosper. For God is with us.

⁷ Then shall all hands be letten down, and all men's hearts shall melt away;

¹⁷ A thousand of you shall flee for one, or at the most for five, which do but only give you evil words: until ye be desolate, as a ship mast upon a high mountain, and as a beacon upon a hill.

¹¹ He shall feed his flock like a herdsman. He shall gather the lambs together with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall kindly entreat those that bear young.

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for I will be with thee. Look not behind thee, for I will be thy God, to strengthen thee, help thee, and to keep thee with this righthand of mine.

¹ But now, the LORD that made thee O Jacob, and he that fashioned thee O Israel, sayeth thus, "Fear not, for I will defend thee. I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine own. ² If thou goest through the water, I will be with thee, that the strong floods should not pluck thee away. When thou walkest in the fire, it shall not burn thee, and the flame shall not kindle upon thee.

³ Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all ye that remain yet of the household of Israel, whom I have borne from your mother's womb, and brought you up from your birth, till ye were grown: ⁴ I, I which shall bear you unto your last age, I have made you; I will also nourish you, bear you and save you.

¹ Behold, the LORD's hand is not so shortened that it cannot help, neither is his ear so stopped that it may not hear. ² But your misdeeds have separated you from your God, and your sins hide his face from you, that he heareth you not.

⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began. ¹⁰ But after they provoked him to wrath and vexed his holy mind, he was their enemy, and fought against them himself.

¹⁷ And therefore gird up thy loins, arise, and tell them all that I give thee in commandment. Fear them not; I will not have thee to be afraid of them.

⁶ They thought not in their hearts, 'Where have we left the LORD, that brought us out of the land of Egypt? That led us through the wilderness; through a desert and rough land; through a dry and deadly land; yea a land that no man had gone through, and wherein no man had dwelt?'

²⁸ hereof are they fat and wealthy, and are run away from me with shameful blasphemies. They minister not the law, they make no end of the fatherless cause, they judge not the poor according to equity. ²⁹ Should I not punish these things, sayeth the LORD? Should I not be avenged of all such people as these be?"

⁶ even in the day that I lift up mine hand over them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land that I have provided for them, which floweth with milk and honey, and it is a pleasant land among all others:

¹⁵ But I swore unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land, which I gave them: a land that floweth with milk and honey, and is a pleasure of all lands.

⁷ And if they say, 'Wherefore mournest thou?' Then tell them, 'For the tidings that cometh, at the which all hearts shall melt, all hands shall be letten down, all stomachs shall faint, and all knees shall wax feeble.' Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled, sayeth the LORD God.'"

¹² And though they bring up any, yet will I make them childless among men. Yea, woe shall come to them, when I depart from them.

³ I learned Ephraim to go, and bare them in mine arms, but they regarded not me that would have helped them. ⁴ I led them with cords of friendship, and with bands of love. I was even he, that laid the yoke upon their necks. I gave them their fodder myself,

⁹ "'Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, that was as high as the Cedar trees, and as strong as the oaks: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruit from above and his root from under.

¹¹ Forsomuch then as ye oppress the poor, and rob him of his best sustenance: therefore, where as ye have builded houses of square stone, ye shall not dwell in them. Marvelous pleasant vineyards shall ye plant; but the wine of them shall ye not drink. And why? ¹² As for the multitude of your wickednesses and your stout sins, I know them right well. Enemies are ye of the righteous; ye take rewards; ye oppress the poor in judgment.

¹¹ And should not I have compassion on Nineveh that great city, wherein there is a multitude of people, even above a hundred thousand that know not their righthand from the left, besides much cattle?"

¹ Woe unto them that imagine to do harm, and devise ungraciousness upon their beds, to perform it in the clear day: for their power is against God. ² When they covet to have land, they take it by violence; they rob men of their houses. Thus they oppress a man for his house, and every man for his heritage. ³ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD: Behold, against this household have I devised a plague, whereout ye shall not pluck your necks. Ye shall no more go so proudly, for it will be a perilous time.

¹ Hear, O ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye leaders of the house of Israel: Should not ye know, what were lawful and right? ² But ye hate the good, and love the evil: ye pluck off men's skins, and the flesh from their bones; ³ ye eat the flesh of my people, and flay of their skin; ye break their bones, ye chop them in pieces as it were into a cauldron, and as flesh into a pot. ⁴ Now the time shall come, that when they call unto the LORD, he shall not hear them, but hide his face from them, because that through their own Imaginations they have dealt so wickedly.

³ yet they say they do well when they do evil. As the prince will, so sayeth the judge: that he may do him a pleasure again. The great man speaketh what his heart desireth; and the hearers allow him. ⁴ The best of them is but as a thistle, and the most righteous of them is but as a brier in the hedge. But when the day of thy preachers cometh, that thou shalt be visited: then shall they be wasted away.

³ God cometh from Teman, and the holy one from the mount of Paran. Selah.

⁵ Yea, I myself, sayeth the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be honored in her.'

¹⁶ And they sent unto him their disciples with Herod's servants, saying, "Master, we know that thou art true, and that thou teachest the way of God truly, neither carest for any man, for thou considerest not men's estate.

²⁴ Then he which had received the one talent came also, and said, 'Master, I considered that thou wast a hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you always even until the end of the world."

¹⁴ And as soon as they were come, they said unto him, "Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

³² Fear not little flock, for it is your father's pleasure, to give you a kingdom.

²¹ for I feared thee, because thou art a strait man: thou takest up that thou laidst not down; And reapest that thou didst not sow.'

²¹ And they asked him saying, "Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither considerest thou any man's degree, but teachest the way of God truly.

²⁴ Judge not after the outer appearance: but judge righteous judgment."

²¹ Wherefore of these men which have companied with us — all the time that the Lord Jesus went out and in among us, ²² beginning at the baptism of John unto that same day that he was taken up from us — must one be ordained to bear witness with us of his resurrection." ²³ And they appointed two: Joseph called Barsabbas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias.

² Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples together and said, "It is not meet that we should leave the word of God and serve at the tables. ³ Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, which we may appoint to this needful business: ⁴ but we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the word." ⁵ And the saying pleased the whole multitude well. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas, a convert of Antioch, ⁶ which they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

⁵¹ "Ye stiffnecked and of uncircumcised hearts and ears: ye have always resisted the holy ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial: ³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

¹⁸ And about the time of forty years, suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

²⁰ and how I kept back nothing that was profitable: but that I have showed you, and taught you openly and at home in your houses,

²⁷ For I have kept nothing back: but have showed you all the counsel of God.

¹¹ For there is no partiality with God:

⁷ because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be. ⁸ So then, they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us.

¹¹ yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad — that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand — it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller,

¹⁶ to the one part are we the savor of death unto death; and unto the other part are we the savor of life unto life. And who is mete unto these things?

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as it were of ourselves; but our ableness cometh of God;

³ among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others.

¹¹ And the very same, made some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers:

⁹ And ye masters, do even the same things unto them, putting away threatenings: and remember that even your master also is in heaven, neither is there any respect of person with him.

²⁵ But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.

⁴ but as we were allowed of God, that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak, not as though we intended to please men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

¹¹ as ye know how that we exhorted and comforted, and besought every one of you, as a father his children,

²¹ I testify before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without hasty judgment, and do nothing partially.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

⁸ harden not your hearts, after the rebellion in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. ¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said, 'They ever err in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways,' ¹¹ so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest." ¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be in none of you an evil heart, in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God:

¹⁸ To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that believed not? ¹⁹ And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

¹⁷ Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears.

⁶ That we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man doeth unto me."

¹ Brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory in respect of persons. ² If there come into your company a man with a golden ring, and in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment, ³ and ye have a respect to him that weareth the gay clothing and say unto him, "Sit thou here in a good place," and say unto the poor, "stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool" - ⁴ are ye not even partial in your selves, and have judged after evil thoughts? ⁵ Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

⁹ But if ye regard one person more than another, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the law as transgressors.

¹⁷ And if so be that ye call on the father, which without respect of person judgeth according to every man's works, see that ye pass the time of your pilgrimage in fear:

⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord — after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt — destroyed them which afterward believed not:
