OYTOI οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ πέραν τοῦ ¹ Ἰορδάνου ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ πρὸς δυσμαῖς πλησίον τῆς ἐρυθρᾶς ἀνὰ
Φαρᾶν Τόφολ καὶ λοβὸν καὶ Αὐλῶν’ καὶ Καταχρύσεα·

ἕνδεκα ἡμερῶν
ἐν Χωρὴβ ὁδὸς ἐπ’ ὄρος Σηεὶρ ἕως Καδὴς Βαρνή.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ τεσσερακοστῷ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο κύριος
αὐτῷ πρὸς αὐτούς,

μετὰ τὸ πατάξαι Σηὼν βασιλέα Ἀμορραίων τὸν κατοικήσαντα ἐν Ἑσεβὼν καὶὪγ βασιλέα τῆς βασᾶν τὸν κατοικήσαντα
ἐν Ἀσταρὼθ καὶ ἐν Ἐδράειν,

ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐν γῇ Μωὰβ
ἤρξατο Μωυσῆς διασαφῆσαι τὸν νόμον τοῦτον λέγων

κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν Χωρὴβ λέγων Ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν κατοικεῖν ἐν τῶ
ὄρει τούτῳ·

ἐπιστράφητε καὶ ἀπάρατε ὑμεῖς καὶ εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς ὄρος Αμορραίων καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς περιοίκους Ἄραβά, εἰς ὄρος καὶ πεδίον, καὶ πρὸς λίβα καὶ παραλίαν γῆν χαναναίων καὶ Ἀντιλίβανον,
ἕως τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου Εὐφράτου.

ἴδετε παραδέδωκεν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν τὴν γῆν· εἰσπορευθέντες κληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ, δοῦναι αὐτοῖς
καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτῶν μετ’ αὐτούς.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ
καίρῳ ἐκείνῳ λέγων Οὐ δυνήσομαι μόνος φέρειν ὑμᾶς.

Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐπλήθυνεν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἰδού ἐστε σήμερον ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ
οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει·

Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν προσθείη ὑμῖν ²⁴ ὡς ἐστὲ χιλιοπλασίως, καὶ εὐλογήσαι ὑμὰς καθοτ ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν.

πῶς δυνήσομαι μόνος φέρειν τὸν κόπον ὑμῶν καὶ τὴν ὑπόστασιν
ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς ἀντιλογίας ὑμῶν ;

δότε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνδρας σοφοὺς καὶ
ἐπιστήμονας καὶ συνετοὺς εἰς τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν, καὶ καταστήσω ἐφ’ ὑμῶν μῶν ἡγουμένους ὑμῶν.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθητέ μοι καὶ εἴπατε καλὸν τὸ
ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας ποιῆσαι.

καὶ ἔλαβον ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας σοφοὺς καὶ
καὶ συνετούς, καὶ κατέστησα αὐτοὺς ἡγεῖσθαι ἐφ’ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ δεκαδάρχους γραμματοεισαγωτοῖς κριταῖς ὑμῶν.

καὶ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς κριταῖς ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ
νὼ λέγων Διακούετε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ κρίνατε δικαίως ἀνὰ μέσον ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἀδελφοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον προσηλύτου αὐτοῦ.

οὐκ ἐπιγνώσῃ πρόσωπον ἐν κρίσει· κατὰ
τὸν μικρὸν καὶ κατὰ τὸν μέγαν κρινεῖς, οὐ μὴ ὑποστείλῃ πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἡ κρίσις τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστίν· καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐὰν σκληρὸν ᾐ ἀφ’ ὑμῶν, ἀνοίσετε αὐτὸ ἐπ’ ἐμέ, καὶ ἀκούσομαι ὑμῶν.

καἴ
ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ποιήσετε.

καὶ ἀπάραντες ἐκ Χωρὴβ ἐπορεύθημεν πᾶσαν τὴν ἔρημον τὴν
μεγάλην καὶ τὴν φοβερὰν ἐκείνην ἣν εἴδετε, ὁδὸν ὄρους τοῦ Ἀμορραίου, καθότι ἐνετείλατο κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἤλθομεν ἕως Καδὴς Βαρνή.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς Ἤλθατε ἕως τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Ἀμορραίου, ὃ ὁ
κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ὑμῖν·

ἴδετε παραδέδωκεν ὑμῖν κύριος ὁ θεὸς
ἡμῶν πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν τὴν γῆν· ἀναβάντες κληρονομήσατε, ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ὑμῖν· μὴ φοβεῖσθε μηδὲ δειλιάσητε.

καὶ προσήλθατέ μοι πάντες καὶ εἴπατε᾿ Ἀποστείλωμεν
ἄνδρας προτέρους ἡμῶν καὶ ἐφοδευσάτωσαν ἡμὶν τὴν γῆν, καὶ άοαγγεθκάτωσαν ἡμῖν ἀπόκρισιν, τὴν ὁδὸν δι’ ἧς ἀναβησόμεθα ἐν καὶ τὰς πόλεις εἰς ἃς εἰσπορευσόμεθα εἰς αὐτάς.

καὶ ἤρεσεν
⁵⁶ ἐναντίον μου τὸ ῥῆ μὰ, καὶ ἔλαβον ἐξ ὑμῶν ιβ΄ ἄν·δρας, ἄνδρα ἕνα κατὰ ⁷
φυλήν.

καὶ ἐπιστραφέντες ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἕως
Φάραγγος βότρυος, καὶ κατεσκόπευσαν αὐτήν.

καὶ ἐλάσον ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τῆς γῆς καὶ κατήνεγκαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἔλεγον Ἀγαθὴ ἡ γῆ ἣν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ἡμῖν.

καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε ἀναβῆναι, καὶ ἠπειθήσατε τῷ ῥήματι κυρίου τοῦ
θεοῦ ἡμῶν·

καὶ διεγογγύζετε ἐν ταῖς σκηναῖς ὑμῶν καὶ εἴπατε Διὰ τὸ μισεῖν Κύριον ἡμᾶς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, παραδοῦναι ἡμᾶς ⁸εἰς χεῖρας Ἀμορραίων, ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἡμᾶς·

ποῦ ἡμεῖς ἀναβαίνομεν; οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν ἀπέστησαν ὑμῶν τὴν καρδίαν λέγοντες Ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ δυνατώτερον ὑμῶν, καὶ πόλεις μεγάλαι καὶ τετειχισμέναι χισμέναι ἔως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· ἀλλὰ καὶ υἱοὺς γιγάντων ἑωράκαμεν
ἐκεῖ.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς Μὴ πτήξητε μηδὲ φοβηθῆτε ἀπ’ αὐτῶν·

Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ προπορευόμενος πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν, αὐτὸς συνεκπολεμήσει αὐτοὺς μεθ’ ὑμῶν κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν
ἡμῖν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.

καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ ἢν εἴδετε ὁδὸν ὄρους τοῦ Ἀμορραίου, ὡς ἐτροφοφόρησέν σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ὡς εἴ τις τροφοφορήσει ἄνθρωπος τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὁδὸν εἰς
ἢν ἐπορεύθητε ἕως ἤλθετε εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον.

καὶ ἐν τῷ λόγῳ
τούτῳ οὐκ ἐνεπιστεύσατε κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν,

ὃς προπορεύεται πρότερος ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκλέγεσθαι ὑμῖν τόπον, ὁδηγῶν ὑμᾶς ἐν πυρὶ νυκτός, δεικνύων ὑμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν καθ’ ἢν πορεύεσθε ἐπ’ αὐτῆς,
καὶ ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας.

καὶ ἤκουσεν Κύριος τὴν φωνὴν τῶν λόγων
ὑμῶν, καὶ παροξυνθεὶς ὤμοσεν λέγων

Εἰ ὄψεταί τις τῶν ἀνδρῶν τούτων τὴν ἀγαθὴν ταύτην γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν.

πλὴν Χαλὲβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννή, οὗτος ὄψεται αὐτήν, καὶ τούτῳ δώσω τὴν γῆν ἐφ’ ἢν ἐπέβη καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸ προσκεῖσθαι
αὐτὸν τὰ πρὸς κύριον.

καὶ ἐμοὶ ἐθυμώθη κύριος δι’ ὑμᾶς λέγων ⁹¹¹ Οὐδὲ σὺ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς ἐκεῖ.

Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυὴ ὁ παρεστηκώς
σοι, οὗτος εἰσελεύσεται ἐκεῖ· αὐτὸν κατίσχυσον, ὅτι αὐτὸς κατακληρονομήσει αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ πᾶν παιδίον νέον ὅστις
οὐκ οἶδεν σήμερον ἀγαθὸν ἢ κακόν, οὗτοι εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ, καὶ τούτοις δώσω αὐτήν, καὶ αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτήν.

καὶ ὑμεῖς
ἐπιστραφέντες ἐστρατοπεδεύσατε εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὁδὸν τὴν ἐπὶ τῆς ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθητέ μοι καὶ εἴπατε Ημάρτομεν
ἔναντι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν· ἡμεῖς ἀναβάντες πολεμήσομεν κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν. καὶ ἀναλαβόντες ἕκαστος τὰ σκεύη τὰ πολεμικὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ συναθροισθέντες ἀνεβαίνετε εἰς τὸ ὄρος.

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μέ Εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς
οὐκ ἀναβήσεσθε οὐδὲ μὴ πολεμήσετε, οὐ γάρ εἰμι μεθ’ ὑμῶν· κα οὐ μὴ συντριβῆτε ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν.

καὶ ἐλάλησα ὑμῖν,
καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατέ μου· καὶ παρέβητε τὸ ῥῆμα Τυρίου, καὶ παρα- βιασάμενοι ἀνέβητε εἰς τὸ ὄρος.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Ἀμορραῖος ὁ
κατοικῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἐκείνῳ εἰς συνάντησιν ὑμῖν, κα κατεδίωξαν ὑμᾶς ὡς εἰ ποιήσαισαν αἱ μέλισσαι, καὶ ἐτίτρωσκον ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ Σηεὶρ ἕως Ἑρμᾶ.

καὶ καθίσαντες ἐκλαίετε ἔναντι Τυροῦ τοῦ θεοῦ
ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ὑμῶν οὐδὲ προσέσχεν ὑμῖν.

καὶ ἐνεκάθησθε ἐν Καδὴς ἡμέρας πολλάς, ὅσας ποτὲ ἡμέρας
ἐνεκάθησθε ἐκεῖ.

Deuteronomy Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 1 focus

These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

It is eleven days’ [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.

It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them;

after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:

turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!

How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.

You answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good [for us] to do.

So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.

We journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

I said to you, You are come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us.

Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.

You came near to me everyone of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.

The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:

and they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us.

Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God:

and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

Then I said to you, Don’t dread, neither be afraid of them.

Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.

Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh your God,

who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.

Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there:

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don’t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.

So I spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

The Amorites, who lived in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn’t listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

So you abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you abode [there].
