The Command to Leave Horeb
1
These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan— in the Arabah opposite Suph— between Paran… and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, vvv and Dizahab.

It is an eleven-day… [journey] from Horeb to vvv Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.

- In the fortieth year, on the first day… of the eleventh… month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites… all that [[YHWH|the LORD]] had commanded him concerning them.

This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei [had defeated] Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.

On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:

The LORD our God said to us at Horeb -: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough

Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; [go] to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast… to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.

See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that [[YHWH|the LORD]] swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”

Moses Appoints Leaders

At that… time I said to you, “I cannot… carry the burden for you alone.

The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

May [[YHWH|the LORD]], the God of your fathers, increase you… a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised
יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבֽוֹתֵכֶ֗ם יֹסֵ֧ף עֲלֵיכֶ֛ם כָּכֶ֖ם אֶ֣לֶף פְּעָמִ֑ים וִיבָרֵ֣ךְ אֶתְכֶ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר לָכֶֽם׃ Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·hê ’ă·ḇō·w·ṯê·ḵem yō·sêp̄ ‘ă·lê·ḵem kā·ḵem ’e·lep̄ pə·‘ā·mîm wî·ḇā·rêḵ ’eṯ·ḵem ka·’ă·šer dib·ber lā·ḵem — WLC · 11

12
But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?

13
Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
הָב֣וּ לָ֠כֶם חֲכָמִ֧ים וּנְבֹנִ֛ים וִידֻעִ֖ים אֲנָשִׁ֨ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֑ם וַאֲשִׂימֵ֖ם בְּרָאשֵׁיכֶֽם׃ hā·ḇū lā·ḵem ḥă·ḵā·mîm ū·nə·ḇō·nîm wî·ḏu·‘îm ’ă·nā·šîm lə·šiḇ·ṭê·ḵem wa·’ă·śî·mêm bə·rā·šê·ḵem — WLC · 13

14
And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good…”
וַֽתַּעֲנ֖וּ אֹתִ֑י וַתֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃ טֽוֹב־ הַדָּבָ֥ר wat·ta·‘ă·nū ’ō·ṯî wat·tō·mə·rū ’ă·šer- dib·bar·tā la·‘ă·śō·wṯ ṭō·wḇ- had·dā·ḇār — WLC · 14
καὶ ἀπεκρίθητέ μοι καὶ εἴπατε καλὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας ποιῆσαι. — LXX Swete · 14
15
So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you— as commanders of thousands,… of hundreds,… of fifties,… and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.

16
At that… time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man… and his brother… or a foreign resident.

17
vvv Show no partiality… in judging; hear [both] small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God… And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”

18
And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.

- And just as [[YHWH|the LORD]] our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying… wilderness you have seen. When we reached… vvv Kadesh-barnea,

I said -: “You have reached… the hill country of the Amorites, which [[YHWH|the LORD]] our God is giving us.

See, [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as [[YHWH|the LORD]], the God of your fathers has told you. Do not be afraid… or discouraged.”

Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter…”

They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out [the land] -.

They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word:… “It is a good land that [[YHWH|the LORD]] our God is giving us.”

Israel’s Rebellion
26
But you were unwilling… to go up; you rebelled against the command of [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God.

You grumbled in your tents and said,… “Because [[YHWH|the LORD]] hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.

28
Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt -, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”

So I said to you: “Do not be terrified… or afraid of them!

31
[and] in the wilderness, where [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached… this place.”

Israel’s Penalty

When [[YHWH|the LORD]] - heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,

The LORD was also angry… with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter [the land].

And the little ones you said would become captives— your children who on that day did not know good from evil— will enter [the land that] I will give them, and they will possess it.

The Defeat at Hormah

“We have sinned against [[YHWH|the LORD]],” you replied… “We will go up and fight, as [[YHWH|the LORD]] our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.

But [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I [am] not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
יְהוָ֜ה וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלַ֗י אֱמֹ֤ר לָהֶם֙ לֹ֤א תַֽעֲלוּ֙ וְלֹא־ תִלָּ֣חֲמ֔וּ כִּ֥י אֵינֶ֖נִּי בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֑ם וְלֹא֙ תִּנָּֽגְפ֔וּ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃ Yah·weh way·yō·mer ’ê·lay ’ĕ·mōr lā·hem lō ṯa·‘ă·lū wə·lō- ṯil·lā·ḥă·mū kî ’ê·nen·nî bə·qir·bə·ḵem wə·lō tin·nā·ḡə·p̄ū lip̄·nê ’ō·yə·ḇê·ḵem — WLC · 42

43
So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of [[YHWH|the LORD]] and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
וָאֲדַבֵּ֥ר אֲלֵיכֶ֖ם וְלֹ֣א שְׁמַעְתֶּ֑ם וַתַּמְרוּ֙ אֶת־ פִּ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַתָּזִ֖דוּ וַתַּעֲל֥וּ הָהָֽרָה׃ wā·’ă·ḏab·bêr ’ă·lê·ḵem wə·lō šə·ma‘·tem wat·tam·rū ’eṯ- pî Yah·weh wat·tā·zi·ḏū wat·ta·‘ă·lū hā·hā·rāh — WLC · 43

44
Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like… a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.

45
And you returned and wept before [[YHWH|the LORD]], but [He] would not listen to your voice [or] give ear to you.

For this reason you stayed in Kadesh vvv for a long time— a very long time -.
