These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, - in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: -

Set forth for you - men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, - that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.

Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.

so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, - for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.

Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand - Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin - take possession, - and engage in strife with him in battle.

This day, will I begin to extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, - who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.

as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, - until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon.

So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour,

until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

Jeshua also, commanded I, at that time saying, - Thine are the eyes, that have seen all that Yahweh your God hath done unto these two kings, thus, will Yahweh do unto all the kingdoms whereunto thou, art passing over:

Let me pass over, I pray thee that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan, - this good mountain, and the Lebanon.

Ascend the top of the Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes - westward, and northward and southward and eastward - and see with thine own eyes, - for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.

But command thou Joshua and confirm him and embolden him, - for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

So we abode in the valley, over against Beth-peor.

And unto me, gave Yahweh command, at that time, to teach you statutes and regulations, - that ye should do them, in the land whereinto ye are passing over to possess it.

But, Yahweh shewed himself angry with me, for your sakes, - and sware that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not enter into the good land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee as an inheritance;

for, I, am about to die in this land, I am not to pass over the Jordan, - but, ye, are to pass over, and possess this good land.

I take both the heavens and the earth to witness against you to-day, that ye shall, perish, speed, from off the land which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess, - ye shall not prolong your days thereupon; for, ye shall surely be laid waste;

For ask, I pray you, of the former days which were before thee, even from the day when God created man upon the earth, yea from one end of the heavens even to the other end of the heavens, - whether aught was ever brought to pass, like this great thing, or was ever heard of like it:

Did a people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of fire, as, thou, didst hear, and yet live?

Or did a god ever make trial of entering in to take unto him a nation out of the midst of a nation, by provings, by signs and by wonders and by fighting, and by a firm hand and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, - according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?

Then, did Moses set apart three cities, over the Jordan, - towards the rising of the sun:

over the Jordan in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt:

so they took possession of his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan the two kings of the Amorites, who were over the Jordan, - towards the rising of the sun;

and all the waste plain over the Jordan, towards sunrise, even unto the sea of the waste plain, - under the slopes of the Pisgah.

For who is there of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?

This, then is the commandment - namely the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God bath commanded to teach you, - that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:

So will Yahweh thy God, clear away these nations from before thee little by little, - thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the wild beast of the field should multiply ever thee.

Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, - cities great and fortified into the heavens;

So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, - so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.

and what he did unto the forces of Egypt - unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, - and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, - that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;

but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, - which of the rain of the heavens, cloth drink water:

No man shall stand before you, - the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.

Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher's Terebinths?

For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, - so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.

But, when ye shall pass over the Jordan, and settle down in the land which, Yahweh your God, is causing you to inherit, - and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye shall dwell securely,

and shalt offer thine ascending-sacrifices, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, - and the blood of thine other sacrifices, shall be poured out upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, and then the flesh, shalt thou eat.

When, Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee, as he spake unto thee, then shalt thou lead unto many nations but thou, shalt not borrow, and, thou shalt rule over many nations but over thee, shall they not rule.

When thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, and shalt possess it and dwell therein, - and shalt say - I will set over me a king, like all the nations that are round about me,

thou shalt, set, over thee as king, him whom Yahweh thy God shall choose, - out of the midst of thy brethren, shalt thou set over thee a king, thou mayest not appoint over thee a man that is a foreigner, who is not thy brother.

that his heart may not be lifted up above his brethren, and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, - that he may prolong his days over his kingdom - he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.

This, therefore shall be the due of the priests from the people from them who offer the sacrifice whether ox or lamb, - there shall be given unto the priest, the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw:

and, all the elders of that city who are nearest unto the slain, shall bathe their hands over the heifer that hath boon beheaded in the ravine,

So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, - that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;

and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, - to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.

So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, - and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.

These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, - Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

Yahweh will open unto thee his rich storehouse - the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless ever, work of thy hand, so shalt thou lend unto many nations, but thou, shalt not borrow:

And thy heavens which are over thy head shall become bronze, - and the earth which is under thee iron.

Yahweh will bring thee and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, - and thou shalt serve there other gods of wood and of stone.

Yahweh will bring against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as darteth a bird of prey, - a nation whose tongue thou canst not understand;

And it shall come to pass that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so, will Yahweh rejoice over you, to cause you to perish and to destroy you, - and ye shall be torn away, from off the soil, whither thou art going in to possess it;

And Yahweh will take thee back again to Egypt in ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt not again any more see it. And ye will offer yourselves there for sale unto thine enemies as servants and as handmaids with no one to buy.

And Yahweh thy God will make thee pre-eminent, in every work of thy hand - in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, for good, - for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

Neither is it, over the sea, - that thou shouldest say, Who will pass over for us to the other side of the sea, that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?

I declare unto you, to-day, that ye shall perish, - ye shall not prolong your days, upon the soil which thou art passing over the Jordan to enter and possess.

and said unto them - A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in, - Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over this Jordan.

Yahweh thy God, is passing over before thee, he, will destroy these nations from before thee so shalt thou dispossess them, - Joshua is passing over before thee, as Yahweh hath spoken.

and that their children who know not, may hear and learn, that they may revere Yahweh your God, - all the days that ye are living upon the soil, which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess.

He met him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness, - He encompassed him watched over him, Shielded him as the pupil of his own eye.

As, an eagle, stirreth up his nest, Over his young ones, fluttereth, Spreadeth abroad his wings, taketh one, Beareth it up on his pinions,

Who used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be over you for a coveting!

for it is not, too small a thing, for you, for, it, is your life, - and, hereby, shall ye prolong your days upon the soil whereunto ye are, passing over the Jordan to possess it.

Get thee up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is over against Jericho - and behold the land of Canaan which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, for a possession;

Yet, over against thee, shalt thou behold the land, - but thereinto, shalt thou not enter, into the land which I am giving unto the sons of Israel.

And of Levi, he said: Let, thy perfections and thy lights, belong unto thy man of lovingkindness, - Whom thou didst put to the proof at Massah, With whom thou didst contend over the waters of Meribah;

Of Benjamin, he said, The beloved of Yahweh, shall settle down securely, - With one to throw a shade over him all the day long, Yea, between his shoulders, hath he found rest.

The peoples, unto the mountain, will they call, There, will they offer the sacrifices of righteousness, - For, the abundance of the seas, will they suck, Hidden treasures of the sand.

So then Moses went up, from the waste plains of Moab into Mount Nebo, the head of Pisgah, which is over against Jericho, - and Yahweh showed him all the land - even Gilead as far as Dan;

And Yahweh said unto him - This, is the land which I sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed, will I give it. I have let thee see with thine own eyes, But thither, shalt thou not pass over.

and he buried him, in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor, - but no man hath known his burying-place, until this day.
