And LORD said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.

And Israel vowed a vow to LORD, and said, If thou will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.

Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, O well. Sing ye to it,

And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom thou bless is blessed, a

And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as LORD shall speak to me. And the rulers of Moab abode with Balaam.

For I will promote thee to very great honor, and whatever thou say to me I will do. Come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.

Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what LORD will speak to me more.

Then the agent of LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

And the donkey said to Balaam, Am not I thy donkey, upon which thou have ridden all thy life long to this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to thee? And he said, No.

And now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.

And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this?

And LORD said to Moses, Get thee up onto this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

And thou shall say to them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer to LORD: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering.

This is the burnt-offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.

And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.

And on the tenth day of this seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation, and ye shall afflict your souls. Ye shall do no manner of work.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which LORD has commanded.

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which LORD has commanded Moses:

And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession. Bring us not over the Jordan.

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness, and ye will destroy all this people.

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.

And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before LORD to the war,

and the land is subdued before LORD, then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards LORD, and towards Israel, and this land shall be to you for a possession before LORD.

Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it),

And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border [of it]. This shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: From the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor.

And the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about.

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe.

This is the thing which LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best, only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.

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

LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

and in the wilderness, where thou have seen how that LORD thy God bore thee, as a man bears his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.

Yet in this thing ye did not believe LORD your God,

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

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

Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.

For LORD thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years LORD thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.

Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.

as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.

This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.

And we took this land in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and the cities of it, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

(Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, to this day.)

And I commanded you at that time, saying, LORD your God has given you this land to possess it. Ye shall pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel, all the men of valor.

But LORD was angry with me because of you, and did not hearken to me. And LORD said to me, It shall be enough for thee. Speak no more to me of this matter.

Get thee up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes, for thou shall not go over this Jordan.

But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shall see.

But ye who clung to LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

Keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

And what great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

But LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land to which ye go over the Jordan to possess it. Ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven to the other, whether there has been [anything] as this great thing is, or has been he

to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

Know therefore this day, and lay it to thy heart, that LORD he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath. There is none else.

And thou shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, and that thou may prolong thy days in the land, which LORD thy God gives thee, fore

And this is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel.

And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.

LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

And ye said, Behold, LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, and he lives.

Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

And LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me. And LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee. They have well said all that they have spoken.

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it,

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart.

And LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear LORD our God for our good always, that he might preserve us alive as at this day.

And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before LORD our God as he has commanded us.

Thou shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.

All the commandment which I command thee this day ye shall observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which LORD swore to your fathers.

Beware lest thou forget LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

And [lest] thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

But thou shall remember LORD thy God, for it is he who gives thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as at this day.

And it shall be, if thou shall forget LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Hear, O Israel: Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,

Know therefore this day, that LORD thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as LORD h

Do not speak thou in thy heart, after LORD thy God has thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness LORD has brought me in to possess this land. Whereas for the wickedness of these nations LORD drives them out fro

Know therefore, that LORD thy God does not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness, for thou are a stiff-necked people.

Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against LORD.

Furthermore LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,

At that time LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of LORD, to stand before LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

to keep the commandments of LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Only LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples as at this day.

And ye know this day, for [it is] not with your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how LORD has destroyed them to this day,

and what he did to you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place,

Therefore ye shall keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go over to possess it,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him,

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

the blessing, if ye shall hearken to the commandments of LORD your God, which I command you this day,

and the curse, if ye shall not hearken to the commandments of LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes.
