1:1(i) Elleh (אלּה These) DEVARIM (devarim דּבר) which Mosheh (משׁה) spake unto all Yisrael on this side Yarden in the midbar, in the Aravah (plain) over against the Yam Suf, between Paran, and Tophel, and Lavan, and Chazerot, and Di-zahav.
1:2 ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horev by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh barnea.)
1:3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh (Shevet) month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Mosheh (משׁה) spake unto benai Yisrael, according unto all that YHWH (יהוה) had given him in commandment unto them;
1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Emori, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edre'i:
1:5 On this side Yarden, in ha eretz Moav, began Mosheh (משׁה) to declare this Torah, saying,
1:6 YHWH (יהוה) Eloheinu spake unto us in Horev, saying:
"Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
1:7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Emori, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Aravah (plain), in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to ha eretz ha Kena'ani, and unto Levanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
1:8 See (ra'ah), I have set ha eretz before you: go in and yaresh (possess) ha eretz which YHWH (יהוה) sware unto your avot, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
1:9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
1:10 YHWH (יהוה) Eloheichem hath multiplied you, and, hinnei, ye [are] this day as the kokhavei (stars) Ha shamayim.(shamayim) for multitude.
1:11 (YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) of your avot make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
1:12(ii) How can I myself alone bear your trouble, and your massa (burden), and your strife?
1:13 Take you wise men, and Binah (understanding), and known among your shevet (tribes), and I will make them rulers over you.
1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
1:15 So I took the chief of your shevet (tribes), wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, sar (heads, captain) over thousands, and sar (heads, captain) over hundreds, and sar (heads, captain) over fifties, and sar (heads, captain) over tens, and shoterim (officers) among your shevet (tribes).
1:16 And I charged your shofetim (shofet) at that time, saying, Shema [the causes] between your brethren, and shofet tzedek between [every] man and his brother, and the stranger [that is] with him.
1:17 Ye shall not show partiality in mishpat (judgment); [but] ye shall shema the small and great alike; ye shall not fear man; for the mishpat (judgment) [is] Elohim (אלהים)'s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [it] unto me, and I will shama it.
1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
1:19 And when we departed from Horev, we went through all that great and terrible midbar, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Emori, as YHWH (יהוה) Eloheinu commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
1:20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Emori, which YHWH (יהוה) Eloheinu doth give unto us.
1:21 See, YHWH (יהוה) Eloheicha hath set ha eretz before thee: go up [and] yaresh (possess) [it], as YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) of thy avot hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
1:22(iii) And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out ha eretz, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
1:23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took Shneym Asar (twelve) men of you, one of a shevet (tribe):
1:24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshkol, and searched it out.
1:25 And they took of the fruit of ha eretz in their hands, and brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is] a good eretz which YHWH (יהוה) Eloheinu doth give us.
1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH (יהוה) Eloheichem:
1:27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because YHWH (יהוה) hated us, he hath brought us forth out of ha eretz Mitzrayim, to deliver us into the hand of the Emori, to destroy us.
1:28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to shamayim; and moreover we have seen the banim of the Anakims (long neck) there.
1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
1:30 YHWH (יהוה) Eloheichem which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Mitzrayim before your eyes;
1:31 And in the midbar, where thou hast seen how that YHWH (יהוה) Eloheicha bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe YHWH (יהוה) Eloheichem,
1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
1:34 And YHWH (יהוה) heard the voice of your devarim, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good eretz, which I sware to give unto your avot,
1:36 Save Kalev ben Yefunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give ha eretz that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed YHWH (יהוה).
1:37 Also YHWH (יהוה) was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
1:38 [But] Yehoshua Ben Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Yisrael to inherit it.
1:39(iv) Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between tov and rah (evil), they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall yaresh (possess) it.
1:40 But [as for] you, turn you, and take your journey into the midbar by the way of the Yam Suf.
1:41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against YHWH (יהוה), we will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH (יהוה) Eloheinu commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
1:42 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto me:
"Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for ANI not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not Shema, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH (יהוה), and went presumptuously up into the hill.
1:44 And the Emori, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even] unto Hormah.
1:45 And ye returned and wept before YHWH (יהוה); but YHWH (יהוה) would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh yamim rabbim (many days), according unto the days that ye abode [there].
