heard the voice of your words. and was
wro,h, and swa.e, saying, Surely there shall
not one of these men of this evil generation
see that good land, which ! sware to give
unto your fathers, save Caleb the son Of
iJephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will
give the land that he hath rodden upon,
and to his children, because he hath wholly
followed the Lord. Also the Lord was an
cry with me for your sakes, saving. Thou
also shalt not 60 in ,hther. Blu, Joshua
the son of N un, which standelh before thee,
he shall 60 in tbither: encourage him: for
he shall cause Israel 10 inherit it. More
over your Iitle ones, which we said should
be prey, and your children, which in that
day had no knowledge between good and
evil, they shall 90 in rhilher, and unto them
will ] give it, and they shall possess it. But
as for you, turn you, and take your journey
into the wilderness by the way Of the Red
Sea. Then We answered and said unto me,
We have sinned against the Lord, we will
go up and fight, according to all that the
Lord our God commanded us. And when
ye had girded on every man his weapons Of
war, We were ready TO 60 up into the bill
And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them.
Go not up, neither fight; for | am not among
you; lest We be smtten before your enemies
So spake unto you; and We would not
hear, but rebelied agains, the commandment
of the Lord, and went presumptuously up
INTO the hill. And the Amorites, which
dwell in that mountain, came out against
YOU, and chased you, as bees do, and de-
stroyed you in SER, even unto Hormah.-
And We returned and wept before the Lord;
but the Lord would not hearkeu to yonr
voice, nor give ear unto you. SO ye abode
in kadesh many days, according unto the
days that ye abode there.
Then we turned, and took our journey
into the wilderness by the way of The Red
Sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we
comprised mount SER many days. And the
Lord spake unto me, saying, Ye have COM
passed this mountain long enough: turn
you norlhward, and command thou the peo-
pie, saying. 7 e are to pass through the coast
of your brethren the children Of Esau, which
dwell in SER; and they shall be afraid Of
YOU: take We good heed unto yourselves
therefore: NEEDLE not with Them for ! will
not give you of their land, no, not so much
as foot-breadlh; because have given
noun, SER unto Esau for possession. Ye
shall buy meat of them for money, tina, We
may eat; and We shall also buy water Of
them for money, that We may drink. For
The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all
the works Of thy hand he knowelh of thy
walking through this grea, wilderness: these
!orty years The Lord thy God hath been with
Thee; thou hast lacked nothing. And when
we passed by from our brethren the chill
dren of Esau, which dwell in SER. through
The way of the plain from Eiath, and from
Ezongaber, we turned and passed by the
way of the wilderness Of Moab
| And the Lord said unto me, Distress not
the Moables neither contend with them IN
battle: for will not give thee of their land
for possessions; because have given Ar
unto The children of Lot for a possesSion-
| (The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a
people great, and many, and tall, as the Ana
| kIms; which also were accounted giants,
as The Anakims; but The Moabies call them
Emims. The Horims also dwell in SER be-
forelime; but the children of Esau succeed
ed them, when they had destroyed them
from before them, and dwell in their stead
as Israel did unto the land Of his possession,
which the Lord gave unto lhem.) Now
rise up, said |, and get you over the brook
Zered. And we went over the brook
Zered. And the space in which we came
from kadeshbarnea, until we were come
over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight
years until all The generation of the men
of war were wasted cut from among the
host, as the Lord sware unto them. For
indeed the hand of the Lord was against
them, 10 destroy them from among the host.
until they were consumed. So it came to
pass, hen all the men of war were cOnsum-
ed and dead from among the people, that the
Lord spake unto me, saying, Thou art 10
pass over through Ar, the coast OF Moab, this
day: and when thou CONTEST MIG h over against
the children of Ammon, distress them not,
nor NEEDLE with them for ! will not give
thee of The land of the children of Ammon
any possession; because have given it I'M
TO the children of Lot for possession
| THAT also was accounted a land OF giants
giants dwell therein of old time; and the
Ammonies call them Zamzummms a peo-
pie great, and many, and tall, as the Ana
kims; but The Lord destroyed them before
Them and they succeeded them. and dwelt
in their stead as he did to the children Of
E>au, which dwelt in SER, when he destroy
ed the Horims from before them and they
succeeded them, ard dwelt in their stead
even unto this day and the Avms which
dweIt in Hazdrim, even unto Azzah, the
Caphlorims which came forth out Of Caph-
tor, destroyed them and dwell in their stead. }
Rise we up, take your journey, aud pass
over the River Arnon behold, have given
into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king OF
Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess ii
and contend with him in battle. This day
