05:001:006 The lord our God spake unto us in
Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt
long
enough in this mount:
05:001:007 Turn you, and take your journey, and go
to the mount of the
Amorites,
and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the
plain,
in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and
by
the
sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon,
unto
the great river, the river Euphrates.
05:001:008 Behold, I have set the land before you:
go in and possess the
land
which the lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
05:001:009 And I spake unto you at that time, saying,
I am not able to
bear
you myself alone:
05:001:010 The lord your God hath multiplied
you, and, behold, ye are
this
day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
05:001:011 (The lord God of your fathers make
you a thousand times so
many
more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised
you!)
05:001:012 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance,
and your burden,
and
your strife?
05:001:013 Take you wise men, and understanding, and
known among your
tribes,
and I will make them rulers over you.
05:001:014 And ye answered me, and said, The thing
which thou hast spoken
is
good for us to do.
05:001:015 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise
men, and known, and
made
them heads over you, captains over thousands, and
captains
over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and
captains
over tens, and officers among your tribes.
05:001:016 And I charged your judges at that time,
saying, Hear the
causes
between your brethren, and judge righteously between
every
man and his brother, and the stranger that is with
him.
05:001:017 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment;
but ye shall hear
the
small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid
of the
face
of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the
cause that is
too
hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
05:001:018 And I commanded you at that time all the
things which ye
should
do.
05:001:019 And when we departed from Horeb, we went
through all that
great
and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of
the
mountain
of the Amorites, as the lord our God commanded
us;
and
we came to Kadeshbarnea.
05:001:020 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the
mountain of the
Amorites,
which the lord our God doth give unto us.
05:001:021 Behold, the lord thy God hath set
the land before thee: go up
and
possess it, as the lord God of thy fathers hath
said unto
thee;
fear not, neither be discouraged.
