And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; : After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king

your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. : Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment

the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: : And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. : And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, : Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers. : Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that

unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. : So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill. : And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out

buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. : For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou

60

for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. : The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; : Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims. : The

And we went over the brook

Zered. : And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them. : For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them
