The Hebrews, from the first\u003cbr\u003ewords in the book, call it ELLE HADDEBARIM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeuteronomy Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA repetition of what passed at Sinai and Cadesbarne: and of the people's\u003cbr\u003emurmuring and their punishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the\u003cbr\u003eJordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, beetween\u003cbr\u003ePharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much\u003cbr\u003egold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. Eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to\u003cbr\u003eCadesbarne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the\u003cbr\u003emonth, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had\u003cbr\u003ecommanded him to say to them:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in\u003cbr\u003eHesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound\u003cbr\u003ethe law, and to say:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long\u003cbr\u003eenough in this mountain:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the\u003cbr\u003eother places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales\u003cbr\u003etowards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites,\u003cbr\u003eand of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it,\u003cbr\u003econcerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and\u003cbr\u003eJacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. And I said to you at that time:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath\u003cbr\u003emultiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for\u003cbr\u003emultitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. (The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands,\u003cbr\u003eand bless you as he hath spoken.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you\u003cbr\u003eand your differences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such\u003cbr\u003ewhose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint\u003cbr\u003ethem your rulers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and\u003cbr\u003eappointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over\u003cbr\u003efifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is\u003cbr\u003ejust: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17. There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little\u003cbr\u003eas well as the great: neither shall you respect any man's person,\u003cbr\u003ebecause it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you,\u003cbr\u003erefer it to me, and I will hear it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:18. And I commanded you all things that you were to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19. And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast\u003cbr\u003ewilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite,\u003cbr\u003eas the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into\u003cbr\u003eCadesbarne,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:20. I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite,\u003cbr\u003ewhich the Lord our God will give to us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:21. See the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess\u003cbr\u003eit, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any\u003cbr\u003eway discouraged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:22. And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the\u003cbr\u003eland, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we\u003cbr\u003eshall go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:23. And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one\u003cbr\u003eof every tribe:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:24. Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains,\u003cbr\u003ecame as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:25. Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought\u003cbr\u003ethem to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give\u003cbr\u003eus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:26. And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the\u003cbr\u003eLord our God,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:27. You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and\u003cbr\u003etherefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might\u003cbr\u003edeliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:28. Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts,\u003cbr\u003esaying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are\u003cbr\u003egreat, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims\u003cbr\u003ethere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalled up to the sky...
