Deuteronomy 1:38-44

38JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126, who standsH5975 before youH6440, will enterH1931H935 itH8033. Encourage himH2388, forH3588 heH1931 will enable IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157 the land. 39And the little onesH2945 you saidH559 would becomeH1961 captivesH957—your childrenH1121 whoH834 on that dayH3117 did notH3808 knowH3045 goodH2896 from evilH7451—will enterH935 the land that I will give themH5414, and theyH1992 will possess itH3423. 40But youH859 are to turn backH6437 and headH5265 for the wildernessH4057 along the routeH1870 to the RedH5488 SeaH3220.1”

41“We have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068,” you repliedH6030H559H413. “WeH587 will go upH5927 and fightH3898, asH3605 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 has commanded usH6680.” Then eachH376 of you put onH2296 his weaponsH3627 of warH4421, thinking it easyH1951 to go upH5927 into the hill countryH2022.

42But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “TellH559 them notH3808 to go upH5927 and fightH3898, forH3588 I am notH369 with youH7130 to keep you fromH3808 defeatH5062 byH6440 your enemiesH341.”

43So I spokeH1696 to youH413, but you would notH3808 listenH8085. You rebelled againstH4784 the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068 and presumptuouslyH2102 went upH5927 into the hill countryH2022.

44Then the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 inH1931 the hillsH2022 came outH3318 against youH7122 and chasedH7291 you likeH834H6213 a swarm of beesH1682. They routedH3807 youH853 from SeirH8165 all the wayH5704 to HormahH2767.
