Verse 1

Hear,{H8085} O Israel:{H3478} thou art to pass over{H5674} the Jordan{H3383} this day,{H3117} to go in{H935} to dispossess{H3423} nations{H1471} greater{H1419} and mightier{H6099} than thyself, cities{H5892} great{H1419} and fortified up{H1219} to heaven,{H8064}

Verse 2

a people{H5971} great{H1419} and tall,{H7311} the sons{H1121} of the Anakim,{H6062} whom thou knowest,{H3045} and of whom thou hast heard{H8085} say, Who can stand{H3320} before{H6440} the sons{H1121} of Anak?{H6061}

Verse 3

Know{H3045} therefore this day,{H3117} that Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} is he who goeth over{H5674} before{H6440} thee as a devouring{H398} fire;{H784} he will destroy{H8045} them, and he will bring them down{H3665} before thee:{H6440} so shalt thou drive them out,{H3423} and make them to perish{H6} quickly,{H4118} as Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken{H1696} unto thee.

Verse 4

Speak{H559} not thou in thy heart,{H3824} after that Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath thrust them out{H1920} from before{H6440} thee, saying,{H559} For my righteousness{H6666} Jehovah{H3068} hath brought me in{H935} to possess{H3423} this land;{H776} whereas for the wickedness{H7564} of these nations{H1471} Jehovah{H3068} doth drive them out{H3423} from before{H6440} thee.

Verse 5

Not for thy righteousness,{H6666} or for the uprightness{H3476} of thy heart,{H3824} dost thou go{H935} in to possess{H3423} their land;{H776} but for the wickedness{H7564} of these nations{H1471} Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} doth drive them out{H3423} from before{H6440} thee, and that he may establish{H6965} the word{H1697} which Jehovah{H3068} sware{H7650} unto thy fathers,{H1} to Abraham,{H85} to Isaac,{H3327} and to Jacob.{H3290}

Verse 6

Know{H3045} therefore, that Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414} thee not this good{H2896} land{H776} to possess{H3423} it for thy righteousness;{H6666} for thou art a stiffnecked{H6203} people.{H5971}

Verse 7

Remember,{H2142} forget{H7911} thou not, how thou provokedst Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} to wrath{H7107} in the wilderness:{H4057} from{H4480} the day{H3117} that thou wentest forth{H3318} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} until ye came{H935} unto this place,{H4725} ye have been rebellious{H4784} against{H5973} Jehovah.{H3068}

Verse 8

Also in Horeb{H2722} ye provoked{H7107} Jehovah{H3068} to wrath,{H7107} and Jehovah{H3068} was angry{H599} with you to destroy{H8045} you.

Verse 9

When I was gone up{H5927} into the mount{H2022} to receive{H3947} the tables{H3871} of stone,{H68} even the tables{H3871} of the covenant{H1285} which Jehovah{H3068} made{H3772} with you, then I abode{H3427} in the mount{H2022} forty{H705} days{H3117} and forty{H705} nights;{H3915} I did neither eat{H398} bread{H3899} nor drink{H8354} water.{H4325}

Verse 10

And Jehovah{H3068} delivered{H5414} unto me the two{H8147} tables{H3871} of stone{H68} written{H3789} with the finger{H676} of God;{H430} and on them [was written] according to all the words,{H1697} which Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} with you in the mount{H2022} out of the midst{H8432} of the fire{H784} in the day{H3117} of the assembly.{H6951}

Verse 11

And it came to pass at the end{H7093} of forty{H705} days{H3117} and forty{H705} nights,{H3915} that Jehovah{H3068} gave{H5414} me the two{H8147} tables{H3871} of stone,{H68} even the tables{H3871} of the covenant.{H1285}

Verse 12

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Arise,{H6965} get thee down{H3381} quickly{H4118} from hence; for thy people{H5971} that thou hast brought forth{H3318} out of Egypt{H4714} have corrupted{H7843} themselves; they are quickly{H4118} turned aside{H5493} out of the way{H1870} which I commanded{H6680} them; they have made{H6213} them a molten image.{H4541}

Verse 13

Furthermore Jehovah{H3068} spake{H559} unto me, saying,{H559} I have seen{H7200} this people,{H5971} and, behold, it is a stiffnecked{H6203} people:{H5971}

Verse 14

let me alone,{H7503} that I may destroy{H8045} them, and blot out{H4229} their name{H8034} from under heaven;{H8064} and I will make{H6213} of{H854} thee a nation{H1471} mightier{H6099} and greater{H7227} than they.

Verse 19

For I was afraid{H3025} of{H6440} the anger{H639} and hot displeasure,{H2534} wherewith Jehovah{H3068} was wroth{H7107} against you to destroy{H8045} you. But Jehovah{H3068} hearkened{H8085} unto me that time{H6471} also.

Verse 20

And Jehovah{H3068} was very{H3966} angry{H599} with Aaron{H175} to destroy{H8045} him: and I prayed{H6419} for Aaron{H175} also at the same time.{H6256}

Verse 21

And I took{H3947} your sin,{H2403} the calf{H5695} which ye had made,{H6213} and burnt{H8313} it with fire,{H784} and stamped{H3807} it, grinding{H2912} it very small,{H3190} until it was as fine{H1854} as dust:{H6083} and I cast{H7993} the dust{H6083} thereof into the brook{H5158} that descended out{H3381} of the mount.{H2022}
