2(There are elevenH6240H259 days’H3117 journey from HorebH2722 by the wayH1870 of mountH2022 SeirH8165 unto Kadesh–barneaH6947.) 3And it came to pass in the fortiethH705 yearH8141, in the eleventhH6240H6249 monthH2320, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, that MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, according unto all that YhwhH3068 had given him in commandmentH6680 unto them; 4AfterH310 he had slainH5221 SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809, and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which dweltH3427 at AstarothH6252 in EdreiH154: 5On this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the landH776 of MoabH4124, beganH2974 MosesH4872 to declareH874 this lawH8451, sayingH559, 6YhwhH3068 our GodH430 spakeH1696 unto us in HorebH2722, sayingH559, Ye have dweltH3427 long enoughH7227 in this mountH2022: 7TurnH6437 you, and take your journeyH5265, and goH935 to the mountH2022 of the AmoritesH567, and unto all the places nighH7934 thereunto, in the plainH6160, in the hillsH2022, and in the valeH8219, and in the southH5045, and by the seaH3220 sideH2348, to the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and unto LebanonH3844, unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.1 8BeholdH7200, I have setH5414 the landH776 beforeH6440 you: goH935 in and possessH3423 the landH776 which YhwhH3068 swareH7650 unto your fathersH1, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, to giveH5414 unto them and to their seedH2233 afterH310 them.2

9And I spakeH559 unto you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 you myself aloneH905: 10YhwhH3068 your GodH430 hath multipliedH7235 you, and, behold, ye are this dayH3117 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230. 11(YhwhH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 make you a thousandH505 timesH6471 so many more asH3254 ye are, and blessH1288 you, as he hath promisedH1696 you!) 12HowH349 can I myself alone bearH5375 your cumbranceH2960, and your burdenH4853, and your strifeH7379? 13TakeH3051 you wiseH2450 menH582, and understandingH995, and knownH3045 among your tribesH7626, and I will makeH7760 them rulersH7218 over you.3 14And ye answeredH6030 me, and saidH559, The thingH1697 which thou hast spokenH1696 is goodH2896 for us to doH6213. 15So I tookH3947 the chiefH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 menH582, and knownH3045, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over you, captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572, and captainsH8269 over tensH6235, and officersH7860 among your tribesH7626.4 16And I chargedH6680 your judgesH8199 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, HearH8085 the causes between your brethrenH251, and judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664 between every manH376 and his brotherH251, and the strangerH1616 that is with him. 17Ye shall not respectH5234 personsH6440 in judgmentH4941; but ye shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 as well as the greatH1419; ye shall not be afraidH1481 of the faceH6440 of manH376; for the judgmentH4941 is God’sH430: and the causeH1697 that is too hardH7185 for you, bringH7126 it unto me, and I will hearH8085 it.5 18And I commandedH6680 you at that timeH6256 all the thingsH1697 which ye should doH6213.

19And when we departedH5265 from HorebH2722, we went throughH3212 all that greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, which ye sawH7200 by the wayH1870 of the mountainH2022 of the AmoritesH567, as YhwhH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 us; and we cameH935 to Kadesh–barneaH6947.
