1These, the words which Moshe spoke to all Ishral2 across the Iordan3 in wilderness, in gorge opposite Suph4, between Pharn, and between Thphl, and Lbn, and Chtzrth, and Di-Zeb. Eleven days from Chrb way of mount Shoir to Qadesh-Barno. [Some parts not finished.]
[edit] Chapter 3
1And we turned and went up the way to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle [at] Edrei. 2And Yahweh said to me, "Do not be afraid of him, for I will give him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you will do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon." 3So Yahweh our God gave into our hands Og king of Bashan also, and all his people. And we struck him until there was none left to him remaining. 4And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we didn't take from them--sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled towns. 6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city: men, women, and children, 7and all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we looted for ourselves. 8And we took at that time the land, from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, which is beyond the Jordan, from the brook Arnon to Mt. Hermon, 9 (Sidonians call Hermon "Sirion" and the Amorites call it "Senir.") 10all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Look--his bed was of iron. Is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? Its length [is] nine cubits, and four cubits its width, by the cubit of a man. [1] 12And we possessed this land at that time from Aroer to Arnon. And I gave half of Mt. Gilead, and its cities, to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 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, with all Bashan, called the land of Rephaim. 14Jair ben Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of Geshuri and Maacathi, and called them by his own name Bashan Havoth Jair, to this day.
15 And I gave Gilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon. 17 And the plain, and the Jordan, and [its] border, from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under Ashdoth HaPisgah eastward. 18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, "Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it. You shall pass over armed before you brothers, the children of Israel, all the warriors [2]. 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle (I know that you have much cattle) shall remain in your cities which I have given you; 20 until Yahweh gives rest to your brothers, as well as to you, and they also possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. Then every man [of] you shall return to his possession, which I have given you."
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, "Your eyes see all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings--so will Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you are passing through. 22 Do not fear them, for Yahweh your God, he will fight for you."
23 And I pleaded with Yahweh at that time, saying, 24"Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what God [is there] in the heavens or on earth who does according to your works, and according to your might? 25 Let me go over, please, and see the good land which is beyond the Jordan, that good mountain, and Lebanon."
26But Yahweh was angry with me because of you, and would not listen to me. And Yahweh said to me, "Do not speak to me any more about this matter. 27 Go up [to] the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward and see [it] with your eyes; for you will not pass over this Jordan. 28 But command Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will go over before this people, and he will cause them to inherit the land which you see." 29 So we dwelt in the valley opposite Beth Peor.

[edit] Chapter 9
1 Hear, O Israel! You are passing over the Jordan today, to go in and possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced in the heavens, 2 a people great and tall, children of the Anakim, whom you know. And you have heard, "Who can stand before the children of Anak?" 3 Know then today that Yahweh your God is going over ahead of you, a consuming fire. He will destroy them, and bring them down before you. And you will drive them out before you, and destroy them quickly, as Yahweh has said to you.
4Do not speak in your heart, when Yahweh drives them away from before you, saying, "For my righteousness Yahweh brought me in to possess this land, but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh is driving them out from before me." 5 [It is] not for your righteousness, and for the uprightness of your heart, [that] you are going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God is driving them out from before you, and to establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers: to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 6 Know therefore that Yahweh your God does not give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7Remember, do not forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you came out of the land of Egypt till to came in to this place, you have ben rebels against Yahweh. 8Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry against you, to [the point of wanting to] destroy you. 9When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed in the mountain forty days. I did not eat bread, and I did not drink water. 10And Yahweh gave me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them [it was written] according to all the words which Yahweh spoke to you in the mountain, from the midst of fire, in the day of the assembly. 11 And it happened at the end of forty days and forty nights, Yahweh gave to me the two tablets of stone, tables of the covenant.
12 And Yahweh said to me, "Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people have done corruptly, that you brought out of Egypt; they have turned quickly aside from the way which I commanded them--they have made themselves a molten image!" 13And Yahweh spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people. 14 Leave me alone, and I will destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I will make you become a nation mightier and more numerous[3] than they."
15And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the montain burned with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant [were] in my two hands. 16And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molten calf, you had turned quickly aside from the way that Yahweh had commanded you. 17And I took the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 18 I threw myself down before Yahweh, like at first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which you have sinned, by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh, to anger him. 19For I was afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Yahweh was angry against you, [enough] to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me this time also. 20And Yahweh was very angry with Aaron, [enough] to destroy him. And I prayed also for Aaron at that time. 21 And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till it [was] small as dust. And I threw its dust into the brook that went down from the mountain.
22And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth Hattaavah, you angered Yahweh. 23 And when Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you," then you rebelled against the mouth of Yahweh your God, and did not believe him, nor listen to his voice. 24You have been rebels toward Yahweh from the day I knew you. 25And I threw myself down before Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, as I threw myself down [before]; because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
26So I prayed to Yahweh, and said: "O Lord Yahweh, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out from Egypt with a mighty hand. 27Remember you servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not turn to the stubbornness of this people, and to its wickedness, and to its sin; 28 lest the land from which you brought us out say, "Because of the inability of Yahweh to bring them into the land which he had spoken to them about, he brought them out to kill them in the wilderness. 29And they are your people, and your inheritance, whom you brought out by your great power, and by your outstretched arm!"
