Moses dissuadeth them from the opinion of their own righteousness, by rehearsing their several rebellions.
 9:1 ¶
Hear, O Israel: Thou goest this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven; |
|
 9:1 ¶
Hear,ºº
O Israel:º
Thouº
[art] to pass overººº
Jordanº
this day,º
to go inºº
to possessºº
nationsº
greaterº
and mightierº
thanº
thyself, citiesº
greatº
and fenced upºº
to heaven,º |
 9:2
a people great and many and tall, the sons of Anak{gr.Enac}, whom thou knowest, and concerning whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Anak{gr.Enac}? |
|
 9:2
A peopleº
greatº
and tall,ºº
the childrenº
of the Anakims,º
whomº
thouº
knowest,ºº
and [of whom] thouº
hast heardºº
[say], Whoº
can standºº
beforeº
the childrenº
of Anak!º |
 9:3
And thou shalt know to-day, that the Lord thy God he shall go before thy face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before thee, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to thee. |
|
 9:3
Understandºº
therefore this day,º
thatº
Yahwehº
thy Elohimº
[is] heº
which goeth overºº
beforeº
thee; [as] a consumingºº
fireº
heº
shall destroyºº
them, and heº
shall bring them downºº
before thy face:º
so shalt thou drive them out,ºº
and destroyºº
them quickly,º
asº
Yahwehº
hath saidºº
unto thee. |
 9:4
Speak not in thine heart, when the Lord thy God has destroyed these nations before thy face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land. |
|
 9:4
Speakºº
notº
thou in thine heart,º
after that Yahwehº
thy Elohimº
hath cast them outººº
from beforeºº
thee, saying,ºº
For my righteousnessº
Yahwehº
hath brought me inºº
to possessººº
thisº
land:º
but for the wickednessº
of theseº
nationsº
Yahwehº
doth drive them outºº
from beforeºº
thee. |
 9:5
Not for thy righteousness, nor for the holiness of thy heart, dost thou go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before thee, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraham{gr.Abraam}, and to Isaac, and to Jacob. |
|
 9:5
Notº
for thy righteousness,º
or for the uprightnessº
of thine heart,º
dost thouº
goºº
to possessººº
their land:º
butº
for the wickednessº
of theseº
nationsº
Yahwehº
thy Elohimº
doth drive them outºº
from beforeºº
thee, and thatº
he may performººº
the wordº
whichº
Yahwehº
swareºº
unto thy fathers,º
Abraham,º
Isaac,º
and Jacob.º |
 9:6
And thou shalt know to-day, that [it is] not for thy righteousnesses the Lord thy God gives thee this good land to inherit, for thou art a stiff-necked people. |
|
 9:6
Understandºº
therefore, thatº
Yahwehº
thy Elohimº
givethºº
thee notºº
thisº
goodº
landº
to possessºº
it for thy righteousness;º
forº
thouº
[art] a stiffneckedºº
people.º |
 9:7 ¶
Remember, forget not, how much thou provokedst the Lord thy God in the wilderness: from the day that ye came forth out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, even till ye came into this place, ye continued to be disobedient toward the Lord. |
|
 9:7 ¶
Remember,ºº
[and] forgetºº
not,ºº
howº
thou provokedstºº
Yahwehº
thy Elohimº
to wrathºº
in the wilderness:º
fromº
the dayº
thatº
thou didst departº
outºº
of the landºº
of Egypt,º
untilº
ye cameºº
untoº
thisº
place,º
ye have beenº
rebelliousºº
againstº
Yahweh.º |
 9:8
Also in Horeb{gr.Choreb} ye provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you; |
|
 9:8
Also in Horebº
ye provokedººº
Yahwehº
to wrath,ºº
so that Yahwehº
was angryºº
with you to have destroyedºº
you. |
 9:9
when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water. |
|
 9:9
When I was gone upºº
into the mountº
to receiveºº
the tablesº
of stone,º
[even] the tablesº
of the covenantº
whichº
Yahwehº
madeºº
withº
you, then I abodeºº
in the mountº
fortyº
daysº
and fortyº
nights,º
I neitherº
did eatºº
breadº
norº
drinkºº
water:º |
 9:10
And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly. |
|
 9:10
And Yahwehº
deliveredºº
untoº
meº
twoº
tablesº
of stoneº
writtenºº
with the fingerº
of Elohim;º
and onº
them [was written] according to allº
the words,º
whichº
Yahwehº
spakeºº
withº
you in the mountº
out of the midstºº
of the fireº
in the dayº
of the assembly.º |
 9:11
And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant. |
|
 9:11
And it came to passº
at the endºº
of fortyº
daysº
and fortyº
nights,º
[that] Yahwehº
gaveººº
meº
the twoº
tablesº
of stone,º
[even] the tablesº
of the covenant.º |
 9:12
And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for thy people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image. |
|
 9:12
And Yahwehº
saidºº
untoº
me, Arise,ºº
get thee downºº
quicklyº
from hence;ºº
forº
thy peopleº
whichº
thou hast brought forthºº
out of Egyptºº
have corruptedºº
[themselves]; they are quicklyº
turned asideºº
out ofº
the wayº
whichº
I commandedºº
them; they have madeºº
them a molten image.º |
 9:13
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to thee once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people. |
|
 9:13
Furthermore Yahwehº
spakeºº
untoº
me, saying,ºº
I have seenººº
thisº
people,º
and, behold,º
itº
[is] a stiffneckedºº
people:º |
 9:14
And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of thee a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this. |
|
 9:14
Let me alone,ººº
that I may destroyºº
them, and blot outººº
their nameº
from underºº
heaven:º
and I will makeºº
ofº
thee a nationº
mightierº
and greaterº
thanº
they. |
 9:15
And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands. |
|
 9:15
So I turnedºº
and came downºº
fromº
the mount,º
and the mountº
burnedºº
with fire:º
and the twoº
tablesº
of the covenantº
[were] inº
my twoº
hands.º |
 9:16
And when I saw that ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep; |
|
 9:16
And I looked,ºº
and, behold,º
ye had sinnedºº
against Yahwehº
your Elohim,º
[and] had madeºº
you a moltenº
calf:º
ye had turned asideºº
quicklyº
out ofº
the wayº
whichº
Yahwehº
had commandedºº
you. |
 9:17
then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you. |
|
 9:17
And I tookºº
the twoº
tables,º
and castºº
them out ofºº
my twoº
hands,º
and brakeºº
them before your eyes.º |
 9:18
And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which ye sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him. |
|
 9:18
And I fell downºº
beforeº
Yahweh,º
as at the first,º
fortyº
daysº
and fortyº
nights:º
I did neitherº
eatºº
bread,º
norº
drinkºº
water,º
because ofº
allº
your sinsº
whichº
ye sinned,ºº
in doingºº
wickedlyº
in the sightº
of Yahweh,º
to provoke him to anger.ºº |
 9:19
And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord hearkened to me at this time also. |
|
 9:19
Forº
I was afraidºº
ofºº
the angerº
and hot displeasure,º
wherewithº
Yahwehº
was wrothºº
againstº
you to destroyºº
you. But Yahwehº
hearkenedºº
untoº
me at thatº
timeº
also.º |
 9:20
And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time. |
|
 9:20
And Yahwehº
was veryº
angryººº
with Aaronº
to have destroyedºº
him: and I prayedºº
forº
Aaronº
alsoº
the sameº
time.º |
 9:21
And your sin which ye had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain. |
|
 9:21
And I tookºº
your sin,ºº
the calfº
whichº
ye had made,ºº
and burntºº
it with fire,º
and stampedºº
it, [and] groundºº
[it] very small,ºº
[even] untilº
itº
was as smallºº
as dust:º
and I castººº
the dustº
thereof intoº
the brookº
that descendedº
outºº
ofº
the mount.º |
 9:22
Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, ye provoked the Lord. |
|
 9:22
And at Taberah,º
and at Massah,º
and at Kibrothhattaavah,º
ye provokedºº
Yahwehº
to wrath.ºº |
 9:23
And when the Lord sent you forth from Kadesh{gr.Cades} Barnea{gr.Barne}, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then ye disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and hearkened not to his voice. |
|
 9:23
Likewise when Yahwehº
sentºº
you from Kadeshbarnea,ºº
saying,ºº
Go upºº
and possessººº
the landº
whichº
I have givenºº
you; then ye rebelledºº
againstºº
the commandmentº
of Yahwehº
your Elohim,º
and ye believedºº
him not,º
norº
hearkenedºº
to his voice.º |
 9:24
Ye were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you. |
|
 9:24
Ye have beenº
rebelliousºº
againstº
Yahwehº
from the dayºº
that I knewºº
you. |
 9:25
And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you. |
|
 9:25
Thus I fell downºº
beforeº
Yahwehºº
fortyº
daysº
and fortyº
nights,º
asº
I fell downºº
[at the first]; becauseº
Yahwehº
had saidºº
he would destroyºº
you. |
 9:26
And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, whom thou didst redeem, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} with thy great power, and with thy strong hand, and with thy high arm. |
|
 9:26
I prayedºº
therefore untoº
Yahweh,º
and said,ºº
O Adonaiº
Yahweh,º
destroyºº
notº
thy peopleº
and thine inheritance,º
whichº
thou hast redeemedºº
through thy greatness,º
whichº
thou hast brought forthºº
out of Egyptºº
with a mightyº
hand.º |
 9:27
Remember Abraham{gr.Abraam}, and Isaac, and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thyself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins. |
|
 9:27
Rememberºº
thy servants,º
Abraham,º
Isaac,º
and Jacob;º
lookºº
notº
untoº
the stubbornnessº
of thisº
people,º
nor toº
their wickedness,º
nor toº
their sin:º |
 9:28
Lest the inhabitants of the land whence thou broughtest us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to slay them in the wilderness. |
|
 9:28
Lestº
the landº
whenceººº
thou broughtest us outºº
say,ºº
Because Yahwehº
was not ableºººº
to bringºº
them intoº
the landº
whichº
he promisedºº
them, and because he hatedºº
them, he hath brought them outºº
to slayºº
them in the wilderness.º |
 9:29
And these [are] thy people and thy portion, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} with thy great strength, and with thy mighty hand, and with thy high arm. |
|
 9:29
Yet theyº
[are] thy peopleº
and thine inheritance,º
whichº
thou broughtest outºº
by thy mightyº
powerº
and by thy stretched outºº
arm.º |
