Deuteronomy 2 ~ 4

Settings

2:24Rise up; set out and cross over the valley of the Arnon. See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, the king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. Compare
2:25Today I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples under all heaven, who will hear the report of you and will tremble and quake because of you. Compare
2:26Then I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, Compare
2:27Let me pass through your land. Only on the road I will go; I will not turn to the right or to the left. Compare
2:28You will sell me food for money, that I may eat; and you will give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot - Compare
2:29As the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, who dwell in Ar, did for me-until I cross over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God is giving us. Compare
2:30But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass through his land, for Jehovah your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate for the purpose of delivering him into your hand, as he is today. Compare
2:31And Jehovah said to me, See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land up before you. Begin to possess it that you may occupy his land. Compare
2:32Then Sihon came out to meet us, he and all his people, for battle at Jahaz. Compare
2:33And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us, and we slew him and his sons and all his people. Compare
2:34And we captured all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city-men, women, and children; we left no survivors. Compare
2:35We took only the cattle as our plunder, as well as the spoil of the cities which we captured. Compare
2:36From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city which is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a town too high for us; Jehovah our God delivered them all up before us. Compare
2:37But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, all along the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any place that Jehovah our God commanded us not to. Compare
3:1Then we turned and went up on the way that leads to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all his people, for battle at Edrei. Compare
3:2But Jehovah said to me, Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was dwelling in Heshbon. Compare
3:3And Jehovah our God also gave Og the king of Bashan, as well as all his people, into our hand; and we slew them until there was no survivor left to him. Compare
3:4And we captured all his cities at that time; there was not a town that we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. Compare
3:5All of these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural villages. Compare
3:6And we utterly destroyed them as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city-men, women, and children. Compare
3:7But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. Compare
3:8So at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were across the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon Compare
3:9(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), Compare
3:10All the cities of the Plateau and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. Compare
3:11(For only Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bedstead, a bedstead of iron, is indeed now in Rabbah of the children of Ammon. Its length is nine cubits and its width four cubits, according to the cubit of a man.) Compare
3:12So we possessed this land at that time. From Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. Compare
3:13And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of the Rephaim. Compare
3:14Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites; and he called it, that is, Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) Compare
3:15And to Machir I gave Gilead. Compare
3:16And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave the region from Gilead even as far as the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley being the border, as far as the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon; Compare
3:17And the Arabah, with the Jordan as a border, from Chinnereth even as far as the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east. Compare
3:18And I charged you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God has given you this land that you may possess it; all the men of valor shall cross over armed before your brothers, the children of Israel. Compare
3:19Only your wives and your little ones and your livestock-I know that you have vast livestock-shall remain in your cities, which I have given you, Compare
3:20Until Jehovah gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving them across the Jordan, and you return, each man to his possession which I have given you. Compare
3:21And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Yours are the eyes that have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to these two kings; so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross over. Compare
3:22Do not fear them, for it is Jehovah your God who is fighting for you. Compare
3:23And I pleaded with Jehovah at that time, saying, Compare
3:24O Lord Jehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do things like what You have done and things like Your mighty deeds? Compare
3:25Let me please cross over and see the good land that is across the Jordan, this fine hill country and Lebanon. Compare
3:26But Jehovah was infuriated with me on your account and did not listen to me. And Jehovah said to me, Enough! Speak no more to Me about this matter. Compare
3:27Go up to the top of Pisgah; and lift up your eyes to the west and to the north and to the south and to the east; and see it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. Compare
3:28But charge Joshua, and strengthen and encourage him, for it is he who will cross over before this people and cause them to inherit the land which you will see. Compare
3:29And we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor. Compare
4:1And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. Compare
4:2You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. Compare
4:3Yours are the eyes that have seen that which Jehovah has done in Baal-peor; for all the men who went after Baal-peor, Jehovah your God has destroyed from your midst. Compare
4:4But you who joined yourselves to Jehovah your God are alive, all of you, today. Compare
4:5See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, as Jehovah my God commanded me, so that you would do them within the land which you are going in to possess. Compare
4:6Keep and do them therefore; for this will be your wisdom and prudence in the sight of the peoples who hear all these statutes and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and prudent people. Compare
4:7For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as Jehovah our God is whenever we call upon Him? Compare
4:8And what great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I am setting before you today? Compare
4:9But be careful and guard your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; rather, make them known to your children and to your grandchildren. Compare
4:10Especially do not forget the day when you stood before Jehovah your God at Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live upon the earth and may teach their children as much. Compare
4:11And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain; and the mountain was burning with fire up into the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and deep darkness there . Compare
4:12And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire. The sound of words could you hear, but no form could you see; there was only a voice. Compare
4:13And He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them upon two tablets of stone. Compare
4:14And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to do in the land which you are about to cross over into to possess. Compare
4:15So take careful heed to your souls, for you did not see any form at all on the day when Jehovah spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, Compare
4:16So that you do not spoil yourselves and make for yourselves an idol, a form of any image, a figure of male or female, Compare
4:17A figure of any animal which is on the earth, a figure of any winged bird which flies in the sky, Compare
4:18A figure of anything that crawls on the ground, a figure of any fish that is in the water under the earth; Compare
4:19And take heed that, when you lift up your eyes to the sky and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you are not drawn away in worship to them and that you do not serve them, which Jehovah your God has assigned to all the peoples under all heaven. Compare
4:20But Jehovah has taken you and brought you forth from the iron furnace, from Egypt, that you would be to Him a people for His inheritance, as you are this day. Compare
4:21But Jehovah was angry with me on your account and swore that I would not cross over the Jordan and that I would not enter the good land which Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance. Compare
4:22For I am to die in this land; I am not to cross over the Jordan. But you are crossing over and you will possess this good land. Compare
4:23Take heed to yourselves that you do not forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He has made with you, and make for yourselves an idol, the form of anything, which Jehovah your God has forbidden you to make . Compare
4:24For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Compare
4:25When you have brought forth children and grandchildren and have languished in the land, and you have spoiled yourselves by making an idol, the form of anything, and have done that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah your God so as to anger Him; Compare
4:26I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that surely you will soon perish from off the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess; you will not extend your days upon it, but you will be utterly destroyed. Compare
4:27And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to which Jehovah will drive you. Compare
4:28And there you will serve gods which are the work of human hands, mere wood and stone, which do not see nor hear nor eat nor smell. Compare
4:29And from there you will seek Jehovah your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and with all your soul. Compare
4:30When you are in distress and all these things happen to you, when you are in the last days, you will return to Jehovah your God and listen to His voice. Compare
4:31For Jehovah your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor let you perish nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them. Compare
4:32For ask now regarding the former days, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, Has anything as great as this ever happened, or has anything like this ever been heard of? Compare
4:33Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and lived? Compare
4:34Has God ever ventured to go and take to Himself a nation from the midst of another nation by trials, by signs and wonders, and by war and a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, like all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Compare
4:35You were shown these things that you might know that it is Jehovah who is God; there is no other besides Him. Compare
4:36From heaven He let you hear His voice that He might discipline you, and upon the earth He showed you His great fire, and His words you heard from the midst of the fire. Compare
4:37And because He loved your fathers, He chose their seed after them and brought you out by His presence, by His great power, from Egypt, Compare
4:38Driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today. Compare
4:39Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Compare
4:40Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever. Compare
4:41Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, Compare
4:42That the manslayer might flee there, who slays his neighbor without intent and did not hate him previously, and in fleeing to one of these cities he might live: Compare
