Deuteronomy 1:2-19

2It is eleven days’H3117 journeyH1870 from HorebH2722 by the wayH1870 of mount SeirH8165 unto Kadesh-barneaH6947. 3And it came to pass in the fortieth yearH8141, in the eleventh monthH2320, on the first day of the monthH2320, that MosesH4872 spake unto the children of IsraelH3478, according unto all that Jehovah had given him in commandment unto them; 4after he had smitten SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809, and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, who dweltH3427 in AshtarothH6252, at EdreiH154. 5Beyond the JordanH3383, in the landH776 of MoabH4124, began MosesH4872 to declare this lawH8451, sayingH559, 6Jehovah our GodH430 spake unto us in HorebH2722, sayingH559, Ye have dweltH3427 long enoughH7227 in this mountainH2022: 7turnH6437 you, and take your journey, and goH935 to the hill-country of the AmoritesH567, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the ArabahH6160, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the SouthH5045, and by the sea-shore, the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and LebanonH3844, as far as the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. 8Behold, I have setH5414 the landH776 before you: goH935 in and possessH3423 the landH776 which Jehovah sware unto your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, to giveH5414 unto them and to their seedH2233 after them.

9And I spake unto you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 you myself aloneH905: 10Jehovah your GodH430 hath multipliedH7235 you, and, behold, ye are this dayH3117 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230. 11Jehovah, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, make you a thousandH505 timesH6471 as many as ye are, and blessH1288 you, as he hath promised you! 12HowH349 can I myself aloneH905 bearH5375 your cumbrance, and your burdenH4853, and your strifeH7379? 13Take you wiseH2450 menH376, and understandingH995, and knownH3045, according to your tribesH7626, and I will makeH7760 them headsH7218 over you. 14And ye answered me, and saidH559, The thingH1697 which thou hast spokenH1696 is goodH2896 for us to do. 15So I tookH3947 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 menH376, and knownH3045, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over you, captains of thousandsH505, and captains of hundredsH3967, and captains of fiftiesH2572, and captains of tensH6235, and officers, according to your tribesH7626. 16And I charged your judgesH8199 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, HearH8085 the causes between your brethren, and judgeH8199 righteously between a manH376 and his brotherH251, and the sojournerH1616 that is with him. 17Ye shall not respect personsH376 in judgmentH4941; ye shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 and the greatH1419 alike; ye shall not be afraidH1481 of the faceH6440 of manH376; for the judgmentH4941 is God’s: and the cause that is too hardH7185 for you ye shall bringH7126 unto me, and I will hearH8085 it. 18And I commandedH6680 you at that timeH6256 all the thingsH1697 which ye should do.

19And we journeyed from HorebH2722, and wentH935 through all that greatH1419 and terrible wildernessH4057 which ye sawH7200, by the wayH1870 to the hill-country of the AmoritesH567, as Jehovah our GodH430 commandedH6680 us; and we cameH935 to Kadesh-barneaH6947.
