Deuteronomy 1:22-46

22“1Then allH3605 of you approachedH7126 me and saidH559, ‘Let us sendH7971 menH376 beforeH6440 us, that they may searchH2658 out the landH776 for us, and bringH7725 backH7725 to us wordH1697 of the wayH1870 by whichH834 we should goH5927 up and the citiesH5892 whichH834 we shall enterH935.’ 23The thingH1697 pleasedH3190H5869 me and I tookH3947 twelveH8147H6240 of your menH376, oneH259 manH376 for each tribeH7626. 242They turnedH6437 and wentH5927 up into the hillH2022 countryH2022, and cameH935 to the valleyH5158 of EshcolH812 and spiedH7270 it out. 25Then they tookH3947 some of the fruitH6529 of the landH776 in their handsH3027 and broughtH3381 it downH3381 to us; and they broughtH7725 us backH7725 a reportH1697 and saidH559, ‘It is a goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 our GodH430 is about to giveH5414 us.’

26“3Yet you were not willingH14 to goH5927 up, but 4rebelledH4784 againstH854 the 5commandH6310 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; 27and 6you grumbledH7279 in your tentsH168 and saidH559, ‘Because the LordH3068 hatesH8135 us, He has broughtH3318 us out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567 to destroyH8045 us. 28WhereH575 can we goH5927 up? Our brethrenH251 have made our heartsH3824 meltH4549, sayingH559, “The peopleH5971 are biggerH1419 and tallerH7311 thanH4480 we; the citiesH5892 are largeH1419 and fortifiedH1219 to heavenH8064. And besidesH1571, we sawH7200 7the sonsH1121 of the AnakimH6062 thereH8033.”’ 29Then I saidH559 to you, ‘Do not be shockedH6206, norH3808 fearH3372 them. 30The LordH3068 your GodH430 who goesH1980 beforeH6440 you will 8HimselfH1931 fightH3898 on your behalf, 9justH3605H834 as He didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869, 31and in the wildernessH4057 whereH834 you sawH7200 howH834 10the LordH3068 your GodH430 carriedH5375 you, justH3512 as a manH376 carriesH5375 his sonH1121, in allH3605 the wayH1870 whichH834 you have walkedH1980 untilH5704 you cameH935 to thisH2088 placeH4725.’ 32But 1112for all thisH2088, you did not trustH539 the LordH3068 your GodH430, 3313who goesH1980 beforeH6440 you on your wayH1870, 14to seekH8446 out a placeH4725 for you to encampH2583, in fireH784 by nightH3915 and cloudH6051 by dayH3119, to showH7200 you the wayH1870 in whichH834 you should goH1980.

34“Then the LordH3068 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH1697, and He was angryH7107 and 15tookH7650 an oathH7650, sayingH559, 35‘16Not oneH376 of theseH428 menH376, thisH2088 evilH7451 generationH1755, shall seeH7200 the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to giveH5414 your fathersH1, 36exceptH2108 CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312; he shall seeH7200 it, and 17to him and to his sonsH1121 I will giveH5414 the landH776 on whichH834 he has setH1869 footH1869, becauseH3282H834 he has followedH310 the LordH3068 fullyH4390.’ 3718The LordH3068 was angryH599 with me alsoH1571 on your accountH1558, sayingH559, ‘19Not evenH1571 you shall enterH935 thereH8033. 38JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, who standsH5975 beforeH6440 you, 20he shall enterH935 thereH8033; encourageH2388 him, for 21he will cause IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157 it. 39Moreover, 22your littleH2945 onesH2945 whoH834 you saidH559 would becomeH1961 a preyH957, and your sonsH1121, whoH834 this dayH3117 haveH3045 23noH3808 knowledgeH3045 of goodH2896 or evilH7451, shall enterH935 thereH8033, and I will giveH5414 it to them and they shall possessH3423 it. 40But as for you, 24turnH6437 around and setH5265 out for the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 to the 25RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220.’

41“26Then you saidH559 to me, ‘We have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068; we will indeed goH5927 up and fightH3898, justH3605H834 as the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 us.’ And everyH376 manH376 of you girdedH2296 on his weaponsH3627 of warH4421, and regardedH1951 it as easyH1951 to goH5927 up into the hillH2022 countryH2022. 4227And the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘SayH559 to them, “Do not goH5927 up norH3808 fightH3898, for I am not amongH7130 you; otherwiseH3808 you will be 28defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340.”’ 43So I spokeH1696 to you, but you would not listenH8085. Instead 29you rebelledH4784 againstH854 the 30commandH6310 of the LordH3068, and actedH2102 presumptuouslyH2102 and wentH5927 up into the hillH2022 countryH2022. 4431The AmoritesH567 who 32livedH3427 in that hillH2022 countryH2022 cameH3318 out againstH7122 you and chasedH7291 you 33as beesH1682 doH6213, and crushedH3807 you from SeirH8165 to HormahH2767. 45Then you returnedH7725 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; but the 34LordH3068 did not listenH8085 to your voiceH6963 norH3808 giveH238 earH238 to you. 46So you remainedH3427 in 35KadeshH6946 manyH7227 daysH3117, 36the daysH3117 that you spentH3427 there.
