14 And ye answered me, and faid, The thing which thou haft spoken, is good for us to do.

15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wife men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thoufands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.

16 And I charged your judges at that time, faying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the ftranger that is with him.

42 And the LORD faid unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, for I 4m not among you; left you be fmitten be

26 Notwithlanding, ve would not go up but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God.

27 And ye murmured in your tents, and faid, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to deftroy us.

28 Whether fhall we go up? our brethren have dilcouraged our heart, faying, The people is greater and taller than we, the cities are great and walled up to heaven, and moreover we have feen the fons of the Anakims there.

29 Then I faid unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he thall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.

31 And in the wilderness, where thou haft feen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his fon, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.

32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God.

33 Who went in the way before you to fearch you out a place to pitch your tents is, in fire by night to fhew you by what way ye fhould go, and in a cloud by day.

24 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and fware faying,

25 Surely there fhall not one of these men of this evil generation fee that good land, which I fware to give unto your fathers:

36 Save Caleb the fon of Jephunneh, he fhall fee it, and to him will I give the land y he hath treden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed LORD. 27 Alfo the LORD was angry with me for your fakes, faying, Thou a fo fhalt not go in thither.

28 But Joshua the fon of Nun, which ftandeth before thee,he fhall go in thether. Encourage him: for he fhall caufe Ifrael to inherit it.

39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye faid thould be a prey, and your children which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they fhall go in thither, and unto them will I give it; and they fha!! poffefs it.

40 But as for you, thrn ye, and take your journey into the wilderness, by the way of the Red-fea.

43 So I pake unto you, and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went prefumptuously up into the hill.

44 And the Amorites which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chafed you as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you. 46 So ye abode in Kadefh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there. С НА Р. 11.

Hen we turned and took our journey

into the wilderness, by the way of the Red-fea, as the LORD pake unto me: and we compaffed mcunt Seir many days.

2 And the LORD fpake unto me, faying, 3 Ye have compaffed this mountain long enough: turn you north-ward,

4 And command thou the people, faying, Ye are to Fals through the coatt of your brethren the children of Efau, which dwell in Seir, and they thall be afraid of you: Take ye good heed unto your felves therefore.

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no not fo much as a foot breadth, because I have given mount Seir unto Efau for a poffeffion.

6 Ye fhall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall alfo buy water of them for money, that ye n ay drink.

7 For the LORD thy God hath bleffed thee in all the works of thy hard: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: this fourty years the LORD thy God bath been with thee, thou hatt lacked nothing.

8 And when we paffed by from our brethren the children of Efau, which d vet in Seir through the way of Splain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and paffed by the way of the wilderness of Moan.

15 For indeed the band of the LORD was agamit them, to destroy them from among the holt, untill they were consumed. 16 So it came to pais, when all the men of war were coníumed and dead from among the people,

17 That the LORD fpake uno me faying, 18 Thou art to pafs over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day.

19 And when thou comelt nigh over against the children of Ammon, dittrefs them not, nor meddle with them: for 1 will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any poffeffion, because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a poffeffion.

20 (That alfo was accounted a land of giants, giants dwelt therein in old time, and Ammonites call themzamzummims, 21 A people great and many, and tall as the anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them, and they fucceeded them, and dwett in their ftead.

12 As he did to the children of Efau which dwelt in Seir, when he fteftroyed the Horims, from before them, and they fucceeded them, and dwelt in their ftead even unto this day:

22 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came forth out of Caphtor, deftroyed them, and dwelt in their stead. )

31 And the LORD faid unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to poffefs, that thou mayelt inherit his land.

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he, and all his people, to fight at Jahaz..

33 And the LORD or God delivered him before us, and we fmote him, and his fons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly deftroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones of every city, we left none to remain:

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto our felves, and the fpoil of the cities which we took.

25 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon and from the city y is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too ftrong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us.

3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og alfo, the king of Bathan, and all his people: and we fmote him until none was left to him remaining.

7 But all the cattel, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to our felves.

8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this fide Jordan from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon: 9 ( Which Hermon the Sidonians call 9 As the children of Efau which Sirion: And the Amorites call it Shenir. ) dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which To All the cities of the plain, and all Gidwell in Ar, did unto me) until I fhall lead, and allBathan, unt Salchah & Edrei, pafs over Jordan, into the land which the cites of the kingdom of Og in Bathan.

12 And this land which we poffeffed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reube nites, and to the Gadites.

13 And the relt of Gilead, and allBafhan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manaffeh; all the region of Argob, with all Bafhan, which was called the land of giants.

14 Jair the fon of Manaffeh took all the Country of Argob, unto the coats of Gefhuri, and Maachathi: and called them after his own name, Bathan-havoth-jair, unto this day.

15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.

16 And unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon, half the valley, and the border, even unto the river Jubbock, wbicb is the border of the children of Ammon: 17 The plain alfo, and Jordan, and the coaft thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the fea of the plain, even the falt-fea, under Afhdoth-pifgah eastward.
