¹ Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

² A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

³ Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

⁴ Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

⁶ Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

⁷ Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

⁸ Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

⁹ When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

¹⁰ And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹¹ And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹² And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

¹³ Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

¹⁴ Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

¹⁵ So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁶ And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

¹⁷ And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

¹⁸ And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

²⁰ And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

²¹ And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

²² And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

²³ Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

²⁵ Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

²⁶ I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

²⁸ Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

²⁹ Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

¹ Hear, ^H8085 O Israel: ^H3478 Thou art to pass over ^H5674 Jordan ^H3383 this day, ^H3117 to go in ^H935 to possess ^H3423 nations ^H1471 greater ^H1419 and mightier ^H6099 than thyself, cities ^H5892 great ^H1419 and fenced up ^H1219 to heaven, ^H8064

² A people ^H5971 great ^H1419 and tall, ^H7311 the children ^H1121 of the Anakims, ^H6062 whom thou knowest, ^H3045 and of whom thou hast heard ^H8085 say, Who can stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Anak! ^H6061

³ Understand ^H3045 therefore this day, ^H3117 that the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 is he which goeth over ^H5674 before ^H6440 thee; as a consuming ^H398 fire ^H784 he shall destroy ^H8045 them, and he shall bring them down ^H3665 before thy face: ^H6440 so shalt thou drive them out, ^H3423 and destroy ^H6 them quickly, ^H4118 as the LORD ^H3068 hath said ^H1696 unto thee.

⁴ Speak ^H559 not thou in thine heart, ^H3824 after that the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 hath cast them out ^H1920 from before ^H6440 thee, saying, ^H559 For my righteousness ^H6666 the LORD ^H3068 hath brought me in ^H935 to possess ^H3423 this land: ^H776 but for the wickedness ^H7564 of these nations ^H1471 the LORD ^H3068 doth drive them out ^H3423 from before ^H6440 thee.

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, ^H6666 or for the uprightness ^H3476 of thine heart, ^H3824 dost thou go ^H935 to possess ^H3423 their land: ^H776 but for the wickedness ^H7564 of these nations ^H1471 the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 doth drive them out ^H3423 from before ^H6440 thee, and that he may perform ^H6965 the word ^H1697 which the LORD ^H3068 sware ^H7650 unto thy fathers, ^H1 Abraham, ^H85 Isaac, ^H3327 and Jacob. ^H3290

⁶ Understand ^H3045 therefore, that the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 giveth ^H5414 thee not this good ^H2896 land ^H776 to possess ^H3423 it for thy righteousness; ^H6666 for thou art a stiffnecked ^{H6203 H7186} people. ^H5971

⁷ Remember, ^H2142 and forget ^H7911 not, how thou provokedst the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 to wrath ^H7107 in the wilderness: ^H4057 from ^H4480 the day ^H3117 that thou didst depart out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 until ye came ^H935 unto this place, ^H4725 ye have been rebellious ^H4784 against ^H5973 the LORD. ^H3068

⁸ Also in Horeb ^H2722 ye provoked ^H7107 the LORD ^H3068 to wrath, ^H7107 so that the LORD ^H3068 was angry ^H599 with you to have destroyed ^H8045 you.

⁹ When I was gone up ^H5927 into the mount ^H2022 to receive ^H3947 the tables ^H3871 of stone, ^H68 even the tables ^H3871 of the covenant ^H1285 which the LORD ^H3068 made ^H3772 with you, then I abode ^H3427 in the mount ^H2022 forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights, ^H3915 I neither did eat ^H398 bread ^H3899 nor drink ^H8354 water: ^H4325

¹⁰ And the LORD ^H3068 delivered ^H5414 unto me two ^H8147 tables ^H3871 of stone ^H68 written ^H3789 with the finger ^H676 of God; ^H430 and on them was written according to all the words, ^H1697 which the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H1696 with you in the mount ^H2022 out of the midst ^H8432 of the fire ^H784 in the day ^H3117 of the assembly. ^H6951

¹¹ And it came to pass at the end ^H7093 of forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights, ^H3915 that the LORD ^H3068 gave ^H5414 me the two ^H8147 tables ^H3871 of stone, ^H68 even the tables ^H3871 of the covenant. ^H1285

¹² And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto me, Arise, ^H6965 get thee down ^H3381 quickly ^H4118 from hence; for thy people ^H5971 which thou hast brought forth ^H3318 out of Egypt ^H4714 have corrupted ^H7843 themselves; they are quickly ^H4118 turned aside ^H5493 out of the way ^H1870 which I commanded ^H6680 them; they have made ^H6213 them a molten image. ^H4541

¹³ Furthermore the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H559 unto me, saying, ^H559 I have seen ^H7200 this people, ^H5971 and, behold, it is a stiffnecked ^{H6203 H7186} people: ^H5971

¹⁴ Let me alone, ^H7503 that I may destroy ^H8045 them, and blot out ^H4229 their name ^H8034 from under heaven: ^H8064 and I will make ^H6213 of ^H854 thee a nation ^H1471 mightier ^H6099 and greater ^H7227 than they.

¹⁵ So I turned ^H6437 and came down ^H3381 from the mount, ^H2022 and the mount ^H2022 burned ^H1197 with fire: ^H784 and the two ^H8147 tables ^H3871 of the covenant ^H1285 were in my two ^H8147 hands. ^H3027

¹⁶ And I looked, ^H7200 and, behold, ye had sinned ^H2398 against the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 and had made ^H6213 you a molten ^H4541 calf: ^H5695 ye had turned aside ^H5493 quickly ^H4118 out of the way ^H1870 which the LORD ^H3068 had commanded ^H6680 you.

¹⁷ And I took ^H8610 the two ^H8147 tables, ^H3871 and cast ^H7993 them out of ^H5921 my two ^H8147 hands, ^H3027 and brake ^H7665 them before your eyes. ^H5869

¹⁸ And I fell down ^H5307 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 as at the first, ^H7223 forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights: ^H3915 I did neither eat ^H398 bread, ^H3899 nor drink ^H8354 water, ^H4325 because of all your sins ^H2403 which ye sinned, ^H2398 in doing ^H6213 wickedly ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 to provoke him to anger. ^H3707

¹⁹ For I was afraid ^H3025 of ^H6440 the anger ^H639 and hot displeasure, ^H2534 wherewith the LORD ^H3068 was wroth ^H7107 against you to destroy ^H8045 you. But the LORD ^H3068 hearkened ^H8085 unto me at that time ^H6471 also.

²⁰ And the LORD ^H3068 was very ^H3966 angry ^H599 with Aaron ^H175 to have destroyed ^H8045 him: and I prayed ^H6419 for Aaron ^H175 also the same time. ^H6256

²¹ And I took ^H3947 your sin, ^H2403 the calf ^H5695 which ye had made, ^H6213 and burnt ^H8313 it with fire, ^H784 and stamped ^H3807 it, and ground ^H2912 it very small, ^H3190 even until it was as small ^H1854 as dust: ^H6083 and I cast ^H7993 the dust ^H6083 thereof into the brook ^H5158 that descended out ^H3381 of the mount. ^H2022

²² And at Taberah, ^H8404 and at Massah, ^H4532 and at Kibrothhattaavah, ^H6914 ye provoked the LORD ^H3068 to wrath. ^H7107

²³ Likewise when the LORD ^H3068 sent ^H7971 you from Kadeshbarnea, ^H6947 saying, ^H559 Go up ^H5927 and possess ^H3423 the land ^H776 which I have given ^H5414 you; then ye rebelled ^H4784 against the commandment ^H6310 of the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 and ye believed ^H539 him not, nor hearkened ^H8085 to his voice. ^H6963

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious ^H4784 against the LORD ^H3068 from the day ^H3117 that I knew ^H3045 you.

²⁵ Thus I fell down ^H5307 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights, ^H3915 as I fell down ^H5307 at the first; because the LORD ^H3068 had said ^H559 he would destroy ^H8045 you.

²⁶ I prayed ^H6419 therefore unto the LORD, ^H3068 and said, ^H559 O Lord ^H136 GOD, ^H3069 destroy ^H7843 not thy people ^H5971 and thine inheritance, ^H5159 which thou hast redeemed ^H6299 through thy greatness, ^H1433 which thou hast brought forth ^H3318 out of Egypt ^H4714 with a mighty ^H2389 hand. ^H3027

²⁷ Remember ^H2142 thy servants, ^H5650 Abraham, ^H85 Isaac, ^H3327 and Jacob; ^H3290 look ^H6437 not unto the stubbornness ^H7190 of this people, ^H5971 nor to their wickedness, ^H7562 nor to their sin: ^H2403

²⁸ Lest the land ^H776 whence thou broughtest us out ^H3318 say, ^H559 Because the LORD ^H3068 was not able ^H3201 to bring ^H935 them into the land ^H776 which he promised ^H1696 them, and because he hated ^H8135 them, he hath brought them out ^H3318 to slay ^H4191 them in the wilderness. ^H4057

²⁹ Yet they are thy people ^H5971 and thine inheritance, ^H5159 which thou broughtest out ^H3318 by thy mighty ^H1419 power ^H3581 and by thy stretched out ^H5186 arm. ^H2220

¹ Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,

² a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

³ Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath spoken unto thee.

⁴ Speak not thou in thy heart, after that Jehovah thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah doth drive them out from before thee.

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁶ Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

⁷ Remember, forget thou not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.

⁸ Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.

⁹ When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.

¹⁰ And Jehovah delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them `was written' according to all the words, which Jehovah speak with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹¹ And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹² And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

¹³ Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

¹⁴ let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

¹⁵ So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁶ And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.

¹⁷ And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

¹⁸ And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also.

²⁰ And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²¹ And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

²² And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.

²³ And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.

²⁵ So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.

²⁶ And I prayed unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

²⁸ lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

²⁹ Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.

¹ `Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;

² a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou -- thou hast known, (and thou -- thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)

³ and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God `is' He who is passing over before thee -- a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.

⁴ `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;

⁵ not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;

⁶ and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou `art'.

⁷ `Remember -- do not forget -- that `with' which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;

⁸ even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you -- to destroy you.

⁹ `In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;

¹⁰ and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

¹¹ `And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone -- tables of the covenant,

¹² and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them -- they have made to themselves a molten thing!

¹³ `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it `is';

¹⁴ desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

¹⁵ `And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,

¹⁶ and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.

¹⁷ `And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,

¹⁸ and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.

¹⁹ `For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.

²⁰ `And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;

²¹ and your sin, which ye have made -- the calf -- I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it `is' small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.

²² `And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:

²³ and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;

²⁴ rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.

²⁵ `And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said -- to destroy you;

²⁶ and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;

²⁷ be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;

²⁸ lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;

²⁹ and they `are' Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm!

---

¹ Hear, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, cities great and walled up to heaven,

² a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!

³ Know then this day, that Jehovah thy God is he that goeth over before thee, a consuming fire; he will destroy them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them and cause them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath said unto thee.

⁴ Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee.

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁶ Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.

⁷ Remember, forget not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.

⁸ And at Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you, to destroy you,

⁹ when I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode in the mountain forty days and forty nights, -- I ate no bread and drank no water, --

¹⁰ -- and Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.

¹¹ And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.

¹² And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten image.

¹³ And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

¹⁴ Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

¹⁵ And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁶ And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you.

¹⁷ And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

¹⁸ And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, -- I ate no bread and drank no water, -- because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time.

²⁰ And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²¹ And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.

²² And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.

²³ And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.

²⁵ So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.

²⁶ I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.

²⁷ Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;

²⁸ lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

²⁹ They are indeed thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out with thy great power and with thy stretched-out arm.

¹ Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

² a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

³ Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so shall you drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.

⁴ Don't speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive them out from before you.

⁵ Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁶ Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

⁷ Remember, don't forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

⁸ Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

⁹ When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.

¹⁰ Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹¹ It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹² Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

¹³ Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people:

¹⁴ let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.

¹⁵ So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁶ I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

¹⁷ I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

¹⁸ I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

²⁰ Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²¹ I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

²² At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

²³ When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe him, nor listen to his voice.

²⁴ You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

²⁵ So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.

²⁶ I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don't destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁷ Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

²⁸ lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

²⁹ Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.

¹ Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;

² A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.

³ Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.

⁴ And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.

⁵ Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

⁶ Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

⁷ Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.

⁸ Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.

⁹ When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

¹⁰ And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

¹¹ Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.

¹² And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.

¹³ And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:

¹⁴ Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

¹⁵ So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

¹⁶ And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.

¹⁷ And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken before your eyes.

¹⁸ And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.

¹⁹ For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.

²⁰ And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time.

²¹ And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.

²² Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you made the Lord angry.

²³ And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.

²⁴ From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.

²⁵ So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.

²⁶ And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.

²⁷ Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and their sin:

²⁸ Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.

²⁹ But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.
