Deuteronomy 1:19-35

19

And just asH834 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 had commanded usH6680, we set outH5265 from HorebH2722 and wentH1980 towardH1870 the hill countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, through allH3605 the vastH1419 and terrifyingH3372H1931 wildernessH4057 you have seenH7200. When we reachedH935H5704 Kadesh-barneaH6947, 20I saidH559: “You have reachedH935H5704 the hill countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, whichH834 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is givingH5414 us. 21SeeH7200, the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has placedH5414 the landH776 before youH6440. Go upH5927 and take possession ofH3423 it asH834 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, has told youH1696. Do notH408 be afraidH3372H408 or discouragedH2865.”

22Then all of youH3605 approachedH7126 meH413 and saidH559, “Let us sendH7971 menH582 ahead of usH6440 to search outH2658 the landH776 and bring usH7725 wordH1697 of what routeH1870 to followH5927 and which citiesH5892 to enterH935H413.”

23The planH1697 seemedH5869 good to meH3190, so I selectedH3947 twelveH8147H6240H582 menH376 from among you, oneH259 from each tribeH7626. 24They leftH6437 and went upH5927 into the hill countryH2022, and cameH935 toH5704 the ValleyH5158 of EshcolH812 and spied outH7270 the land. 25They tookH3947 some of the fruitH6529 of the landH776 in their handsH3027, carried it downH3381 to usH413, and brought usH7725 wordH1697H559: “It is a goodH2896 landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is givingH5414 us.”

26But you were unwillingH3808H14 to go upH5927; you rebelledH4784 against the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 27You grumbledH7279 in your tentsH168 and saidH559H8135, “Because the LORDH3068 hates usH853, He has brought us outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to deliverH5414 usH853 into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567 to be annihilatedH8045. 28WhereH575 can weH587 goH5927? Our brothersH251 have made our hearts meltH4549, sayingH559: ‘The peopleH5971 are largerH1419 and tallerH7311 than we areH4480; the citiesH5892 are largeH1419, with walls upH1219 to the heavensH8064. We evenH1571 sawH7200 the descendantsH1121 of the AnakimH6062 thereH8033.’”

29So I saidH559 to youH413: “Do notH3808 be terrifiedH6206H3808 or afraidH3372 of them! 30The LORDH3068 your GodH430, who goesH1980 before youH6440H1931, will fightH3898 for you, just asH3605 you saw HimH5869 doH6213 for youH854 in EgyptH4714 31and in the wildernessH4057, whereH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 carried youH5375, asH834 a manH376 carriesH5375 his sonH1121, allH3605 the wayH1870 by whichH834 you traveledH1980 untilH5704 you reachedH935H5704 thisH2088 placeH4725.”

32But in spiteH1697 of all thisH2088, you did notH369 trustH539 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, 33who wentH1980 before youH6440 on the journeyH1870, in the fireH784 by nightH3915 and in the cloudH6051 by dayH3119, to seek outH8446 a placeH4725 for you to campH2583 and to show youH7200 the roadH1870 to travelH1980.

34When the LORDH3068 heardH8085 your wordsH1697, He grew angryH7107 and swore an oathH7650, sayingH559, 35“NotH518 oneH376 of theH428 menH582 of thisH2088 evilH7451 generationH1755 shall seeH7200 the goodH2896 landH776 I sworeH7650 to giveH5414 your fathersH1,
