Deuteronomy 1:22-46

22“1Then allH3605 of you approachedH7126 me and saidH559, ‘Let us sendH7971 menH376 aheadH6440 of us, so that they may spyH2658 outH2658 the landH776 for us, and bringH7725 backH7725 to us wordH1697 of the wayH1870 by whichH834 we should goH5927 upH5927, and the citiesH5892 whichH834 we should enterH935.’ 23The 2planH1697 pleasedH3190H5869 me, and I tookH3947 twelveH8147H6240 of your menH376, oneH259 manH376 for each tribeH7626. 24Then 3they turnedH6437 and wentH5927 upH5927 into the hillH2022 countryH2022, and cameH935 to the ValleyH5158 of EshcolH812, and spiedH7270 it outH7270. 25And they tookH3947 some of the fruitH6529 of the landH776 in their handsH3027 and broughtH3381 it downH3381 to us. They also broughtH7725 us backH7725 a reportH1697 and saidH559, ‘The landH776 that the LordH3068 our GodH430 is about to giveH5414 us is goodH2896.’

26“4Yet you were unwillingH3808H14 to goH5927 upH5927; instead you 5rebelledH4784 againstH854 the 6commandH6310 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; 27and 7you grumbledH7279 in your tentsH168 and saidH559, ‘Because the LordH3068 hatesH8135 us, He has broughtH3318 us outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to handH3027H5414 us overH5414 to the AmoritesH567 to destroyH8045 us. 28WhereH575 can we goH5927 upH5927? Our brothersH251 have made our heartsH3824 meltH4549, by sayingH559, “The peopleH5971 are biggerH1419 and tallerH7311 thanH4480 we; the citiesH5892 are largeH1419 and fortifiedH1219 up to heavenH8064. And besidesH1571, we sawH7200 8the sonsH1121 of the AnakimH6062 thereH8033.”’ 29But I saidH559 to you, ‘Do not be terrifiedH6206, norH3808 fearH3372 them. 30The LordH3068 your GodH430, who goesH1980 beforeH6440 you, will 9HimselfH1931 fightH3898 for you, 10justH3605H834 as He didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869, 31and in the wildernessH4057 whereH834 you sawH7200 howH834 11the LordH3068 your GodH430 carriedH5375 you, justH3512 asH3512 a manH376 carriesH5375 his sonH1121, on allH3605 of the roadH1870 whichH834 you have walkedH1980 untilH5704 you cameH935 to thisH2088 placeH4725.’ 32Yet 1213in spite of all thisH2088, you did not trustH539 the LordH3068 your GodH430, 3314who goesH1980 beforeH6440 you on your wayH1870, 15to seekH8446 outH8446 a placeH4725 for you to makeH2583 campH2583, in the fireH784 by nightH3915 to showH7200 you the wayH1870 by whichH834 you should goH1980, and in the cloudH6051 by dayH3119.

34“Then the LordH3068 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH1697, and He wasH7107 angryH7107 and 16sworeH7650 anH7650 oathH7650, sayingH559, 35‘17Not 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 18to him I will giveH5414 the landH776 on whichH834 he has setH1869 footH1869, and to his sonsH1121, becauseH3282H834 he has followedH310 the LordH3068 fullyH4390.’ 3719The LordH3068 was angryH599 with me alsoH1571 on your accountH1558, sayingH559, ‘20Not evenH1571 you shall enterH935 thereH8033. 38JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, who standsH5975 beforeH6440 you, 21shall himselfH1931 enterH935 thereH8033; encourageH2388 him, for 22he will giveH5157 it to IsraelH3478 asH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157. 39Moreover, 23your littleH2945 onesH2945 whoH834, you saidH559, would becomeH1961 plunderH957, and your sonsH1121, whoH834 this dayH3117 haveH3045 24noH3808 knowledgeH3045 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, shall enterH935 thereH8033, and I will giveH5414 it to them and they shall take possessionH3423 of it. 40But as for you, 25turnH6437 aroundH6437 and setH5265 outH5265 for the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the 26RedH5488 SeaH3220.’

41“27Then you repliedH6030H559 to me, ‘We have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068; we ourselvesH587 will goH5927 upH5927 and fightH3898, justH3605H834 as the LordH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 us.’ And everyH376 manH376 of you strappedH2296 onH2296 his weaponsH3627 of warH4421, and you viewedH1951 it asH1951 easyH1951 to goH5927 upH5927 into the hillH2022 countryH2022. 4228But the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘SayH559 to them, “Do not goH5927 upH5927 norH3808 fightH3898, for I am not amongH7130 you; otherwiseH3808 you will be 29defeatedH5062 30by your enemiesH340.”’ 43So I spokeH1696 to you, but you would not listenH8085. Instead, 31you rebelledH4784 againstH854 the 32commandH6310 of the LordH3068, and actedH2102 presumptuouslyH2102 and wentH5927 upH5927 into the hillH2022 countryH2022. 4433And the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 in that hillH2022 countryH2022 cameH3318 outH3318 againstH7122 you and chasedH7291 you 34as beesH1682 doH6213, and they scatteredH3807 you from SeirH8165 to HormahH2767. 45Then you returnedH7725 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; but the 35LordH3068 did not listenH8085 to your voiceH6963, norH3808 payH238 attentionH238 to you. 46So you remainedH3427 at 36KadeshH6946 for manyH7227 daysH3117, 37the daysH3117 that you spentH3427 there.
