Bamidbar36
Numbers · Chapter 36
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Yoseph, came near, and spake before Mosheh, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Yisra'el:
And they said, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Yisra'el: and my lord was commanded by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
And if they be married to any of the sons of the
other tribes of the children of Yisra'el, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
And when the jubile of the children of Yisra'el shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra'el according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), saying, The tribe of the sons of Yoseph hath said well.
This is the thing which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Yisra'el remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Yisra'el shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Yisra'el, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Yisra'el may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Neither shall the inheritance remove from
one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Yisra'el shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Even as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded Mosheh, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noach, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Yoseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
These
are the mitsvot and the judgments, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded by the hand of Mosheh unto the children of Yisra'el in the plains of Moab by Yarden
near Yericho.

Devarim1
Deuteronomy · Chapter 1
These
be the words which Mosheh spake unto all Yisra'el on this side Yarden in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red
sea,
between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
(There are eleven days’
journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first
day of the month,
that Mosheh spake unto the children of Yisra'el, according unto all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had given him in mitsvah unto them;
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
On this side Yarden, in the land of Moab, began Mosheh to declare this torah, saying,
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
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.
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) sware unto your fathers, Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya'aqov, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye
are
this day as the stars of shamayim for multitude.
(𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye
are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good
for us to do.
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.
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.
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
Elohim’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring
it
unto me, and I will hear it.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim doth give unto us.
Behold, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hath set the land before thee: go up
and possess
it, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
and the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought
it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said,
It is
a good land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim doth give us.
Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the mitsvah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim:
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people
is greater and taller than we; the cities
are
great and walled up to shamayim; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Mitsrayim before your eyes;
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
Yet in this thing ye did not believe 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim,
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents
in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Also 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
But Yehoshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Yisra'el to inherit it.
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
But
as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), we will go up and fight, according to all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I
am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the mitsvah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and went presumptuously up into the hill.
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir,
even unto Hormah.
And ye returned and wept before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode
there.

Deuteronomy · Chapter 2
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto me, saying,
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
And command thou the people, saying, Ye
are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a footbreadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau
for
a possession.
Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim
hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land
for
a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot
for a possession.
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Yisra'el did unto the land of his possession, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) gave unto them.
Now rise up,
said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered,
was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) sware unto them.
For indeed the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
That 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto me, saying,
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
And
when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon
any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot
for a possession.
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim,
even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess
it, and contend with him in battle.
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations
that are under the whole shamayim, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Yarden into the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim giveth us.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as
appeareth this day.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
From Aroer, which
is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and
from the city that
is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim delivered all unto us:
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok,
nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim forbad us.
