and, from Bamoth of the valley, which is in the field-country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, - which over-looketh Jeshimon.

So he sent messengers unto Balaam son of Boor, to Pethor which was by the river of the land of the sons of his people to call him, - saying Lo! a people, hath come forth out of Egypt Lo! he hath covered the eye of the land, Yea he, is tarrying over against me.

Then said the ass unto Balaam - Am not I thine own ass on which thou hast ridden all thy life, until this day? Have I, been wont, to do unto thee, thus? And he said, Nay!

And Balak heard that Balaam, was coming, - so he went forth to meet him unto a city of Moab which was upon the boundary of Arnon, which was in the utmost part of the boundary.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Go up into this mount of Abarim, - and see, the and which I have given unto the son of Israel;

Therefore shalt thou say to them. This, is the altar-flame, which ye shall offer unto Yahweh, - he-lambs a year old, without defect, two day, as a continual ascending-sacrifice.

a continual ascending-sacrifice, - which was offered in Mount Sinai, as a satisfying odour an altar-flame unto Yahweh.

in addition to the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, which is for the continual ascending-sacrifice, shall ye offer these.

And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel saying: This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded-

and her father shall hear her vow or her bond which she bindeth upon her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul shall stand.

But, if her father forbade her, in the day when he heard, none of her vows or her bonds which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand, - and, Yahweh, will pardon her, because her father forbade her.

and her husband heard it, and on the day that he heard, he held his peace at her, then shall her vows stand and her bonds which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand,

and her husband heard, and held his peace at her, did not forbid her, then shall all her vows stand, and every bond which she hath bound upon her soul, shall stand.

But if her husband, did make, them, of none effect, on the day he heard, nothing which came forth out of her lips - of her vows, or of the bond of her soul, shall sand, - her husband, made it of none effect, and Yahweh, will pardon her:

But if her husband do hold his peace, at her, from day to day, then shall he cause all her vows to stand, or all her bonds which are upon her, - cause them to stand, because he held his peace at her, on the day when he heard.

These are the statutes which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in the house of her father.

and brought in unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel - the captives and the booty, and the spoil unto the camp, - unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.

Then said Eleazar the priest unto the men of the host, who had been to the war: This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded Moses:

And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was, - of the flock, six hundred and seventy-five thousand;

And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel, - which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host,

And all the gold of the heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was - sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, - of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds.

the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is, - and, thy servants, have cattle.

Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them?

and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully;

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, - and then that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do.

Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying, - That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do.

and Nebo and Baal-meon - their names being changed, and Sibmah, - and they gave names to the cities which they built.

And they brake up from Succoth, - and encamped in Etham, which is at the edge of the desert.

And they brake up from Etham, and turned upon Pi-hahiroth, which is over against Baal-zephon, - and encamped before Migdol.

Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, - This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.

Command the sons of Israel, that they give unto the Levites - out of the inheritance which they possess - cities to dwell in, - pasture land also unto the cities, round about them, shall ye give unto the Levites.

And, the pasture lands of the cities which ye shall give unto the Levite, shall be, - from the wail of the city, and outwards, a thousand cubits round about

And, among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give that the manslayer may flee thither, - and besides them, ye shall give, forty-two cities,

All the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be forty-eight cities, - them, and their pasture lands,

And as touching the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the sons of Israel from the many, shall ye take many, and from the few, shall ye take few, - each, according to his inheritance, which they shall inherit, shall We of his cities unto the Levites.

And as touching the cities which ye shall give six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you.

for in his city of refuge, should he have remained, until the death of the high priest, - and, after the death of the high priest, might he have returned into the land which he doth possess.

thou must not then make unclean the land wherein, ye, are dwelling, in the midst of which, I, have my habitation; for, I, - Yahweh, am making my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel.

When, therefore, unto any one from among the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, they become wives their inheritance shall disappear out of the inheritance of our fathers, and be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received, - and so out of the lot of our inheritance, shall it disappear,

And when the jubilee shall come to the sons of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received - and, out of the, inheritance of the tribe of our fathers, shall their inheritance disappear.

This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, as to the daughters of Zelophehad saying: Unto whomsoever it may be good in their eyes, let them become wives, - save only unto the family of the tribe of their father, let them become wives.

These are the commandments and the regulations which Yahweh gave in charge, by the hand of Moses, unto the sons of Israel, - in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho.

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:

See! I have set before you the land, - enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

And ye answered me, - and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

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

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, - and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

Then said I unto you, - Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, - and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, - shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, - because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, - as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.

Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, - until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.

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.

only the cattle, made we our prey, - and the spoil of the cities which we captured.

From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, - the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before us.

Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, - all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.

And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, - sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

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.

And this land, took we in possession at that time, - from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites;

Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you;

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.

My Lord Yahweh, thou thyself, hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy firm hand, - as to which, what GOD is there, in the heavens or in the earth, that can do according to thy doings, and according to thy mighty deeds?

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.

Now, therefore, O Israel, hearken thou unto the statutes, and unto the regulations, which, I, am teaching you, to do them , - to the end ye may live and enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving unto you.

Ye shall not add unto the word which, I, am commanding you, neither shall ye take away therefrom, - that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, which, I, am commanding you.

For what great nation is there which hath gods nigh unto it, - like Yahweh our God, whensoever we have cried out unto him.

Or what great nation which hath righteous statutes and regulations, like all this law, which, I, am setting before you to-day?

Only take thou heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, so that thou forget not the things which thine own eyes have seen, and so that they go not out of thy heart, all the days of thy life, - but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons and unto thy son's sons: -

What day thou didst stand before Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather unto me the people, that I may let them hear my words, - which they must learn that they may revere me all the days which they are living upon the soil, their children also, must they teach.

Then declared he unto you his covenant which he commanded you to do, the ten words, - and wrote them upon two tables of stone.

or lest thou shouldest lift up thine eyes towards the heavens and see the sun and the moon, and the stars - all the host of the heavens, and shouldest be seduced, and shouldest bow thyself down to them and he led to serve them, - the which Yahweh thy God hath assigned unto all the peoples under all the heavens;

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;

Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he hath solemnised with you, - and so make for yourselves an image, the form of anything, the which Yahweh thy God hath forbidden thee;

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;

and ye will serve there gods made by the hands of man, - wood or stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

For, a GOD of compassion, is Yahweh thy God, he will not forsake thee neither will he destroy thee, - nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

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:

So shalt thou keep his statutes and his commandments which, I, am commanding thee to-day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, - and to the end thou mayest prolong thy days upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God, is giving thee, all the days.

This, then is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel:

These, are the testimonies, and the statutes and the regulations, - which Moses spake unto the sons of Israel when they came forth out of Egypt:

from Aroer which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, even unto Mount Sion, the same, is Hermon;

Then called Moses unto all Israel and said unto them - Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations, which I am speaking in your ears to-day, - so shall ye learn them, and observe to do them.

Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, - that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, - and Yahweh said unto me - I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken.

Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee - all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, - that they may do them in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.

In all the way which Yahweh your God hath commanded you, must ye walk, - that ye may live and it be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which ye shall possess.

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:

that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, so as to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons' son, all the days of thy life, - and that thy days may be prolonged.

so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;

So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;

and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, - and shalt eat and be full,

Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;

so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;

When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, - What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?
