6 This is the thing which the LoRD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophelad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of their tribe of their father shall they marry.

10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Ze lophehad:

11 For Mahlab, Tirzabı,and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:

12. And they were married into the fam ies of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter, that possesseth 13 These arethe commandments and an inheritance in any tribe of the chil-[the judgments, which the LORD comdren of Israel, shall be wife unto one manded by the hand of Moses unto the of the family of the tribe of her fa-children of Israel in the plains of Mother, that the children of Israel may ab, by Jordan near Jericho.

8 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. 9 ¶ And I spake unto you at that time,saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the 10 The LORD your God hath multifirst day of the month, that Moses plied you, and, behold, ye are this day spake unto the children of Israel, ac-as the stars of heaven for multitude. cording unto all that the LORD had 11 (The LORD God of your fathers given him in commandment unto make you a thousand times so many them; more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

4 After he had slain Silon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab,beganMoses to declare this law, saying,

6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance,and your burden, and your strife ?

13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, 15 So I took the chief of your tribes, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, wise men, and known, and made them ia the plain, in the hills, and in the heads over you, captains over thou ale, and in the south, and by the sea sands,and captains over hundreds, and

18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. 19 ¶ 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.

20 And I said unto you,Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give

21 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.

34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

23 And the saying pleased me well:

24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun,which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14 And the space in which we came from Kedesh-barnea, until we were ome 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 the me,say-LonD sware unto them.

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; because 1 have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

16 T So it came to pass, when al the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 17 That the LonD spake unto me, saying,

And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not,nor meddle with them: 6 Ye shall buy meat of them for mo- for 1 will not give thee of the land of ney, that ye may eat; and ye shall al-the children of Ammon any possesso buy water of them for money, that sion; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. ye nay drink.

8 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 Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead :

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

26 ¶ And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sibon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, zuid all his people, and his land, into thy band; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Basban, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

28 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; 29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which 5 All these cities icere fenced with dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until 1high walls, gates, and bars; besides shall pass over Jordan into the land unwalled towns a great many. which the LORD our God giveth us. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as 30 But Silon king of Heshibon, would we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, not let us pass by him: for the LORD utterly destroying the men, women, thy God hardened his spirit, and made and children, of every city. his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

34 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 :

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 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

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to our selves.

15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even tnto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Aminon;

17 The plain also, and Jordan, and

18 T And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lono your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes; for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, aud strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

NOW therefore hearken, Olsrael,

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lond your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed then from among you.

4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

19 But your wives and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the Lond your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. 21 ¶ And Í commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done sess it. unto tifese two kings: so shall the 6 Keep therefore and do them; for LORD do unto ali the kingdoms whith-this is your wisdom and your underer thou passest.
