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 rons of Joseph, came near and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief faers of the children of Israel;

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israe! shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.

11 For Mahlab, Tirzah, 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 families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph: 2 And they said, The LORD commanded and their inheritance remained in the tribe my lord to give the land for an inheritance of the family of their father.

Red sea, between Paran, and Tophe!, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 2 (There are eleven days' journey from ¶ The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, by the way of mount Seir, unto Ka-Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough desh-barnea.) in this mount:

31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth hear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

33 Who weut 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 16 And Icharged your judges at that time, ye should go, and in a cloud by day. saying, Hear the causes between your bre- S1 And the LORD heard the voice of your thren, and judge righteously between every words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, man and his brother, and the stranger that 35 Surely there shall not one of these men is with him. of this evil generation see that good land 17 Ye shall not respect persons in judg-which I sware to give unto your fathers, ment, but ye shall hear the smail as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto mne, and I will hear it.

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

36 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 the LORD.

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

191 And when we departed from Horeb, 33 But Joshua the son of Nun,which standeth we went through all that great and terrible before thee, he shall goin thither: encourage wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our 39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye said God commanded us; and we came to Ka-should be a prey, and your children, which desh-barnea. 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.

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

40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, by the way of the Red sea.

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; 41 Then ye answered and said unto me, fear not, neither be discouraged. We have sinned against the LORD, we will 22 11 And ye came near unto me every one go up and fight, according to all that the 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, 23 And the saying pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

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

25 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 the LORD our God doth give us,

LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not ameng you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased

you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, ren unto Hormah.

45 And ye returned, and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from anong the host, until they were consumed.
