`Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;

²a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)

³and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.

^{4 `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God’s driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;}

^{5 not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;}

^{6 and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].}

⁷`Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;

⁸even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.

⁹`In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;

¹⁰and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

^{11 `And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,}

^{12 and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!}

^{13 `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];}

¹⁴desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

¹⁵`And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,

¹⁶and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.

¹⁷`And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,

¹⁸and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.

^{19 `For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.}

²⁰`And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;

²¹and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.

²²`And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:

^{23 and in Jehovah’s sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;}

²⁴rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.

²⁵`And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;

^{26 and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;}

²⁷be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;

^{28 lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah’s want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;}

²⁹and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm! – Aslan International Ministry

And we turn, and journey into the wilderness – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And we turn, and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah hath spoken unto me, and we go round the mount of Seir many days.

²`And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,

³Enough to you — is the going round of this mount; turn for yourselves northward.

⁴`And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful,

⁵ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.

⁶`Food ye buy from them with money, and have eaten; and also water ye buy from them with money, and have drunk,

^{7 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hands; He hath known thy walking in this great wilderness these forty years; Jehovah thy God [is] with thee; thou hast not lacked anything.}

⁸`And we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab;

⁹and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [for] a possession.’

¹⁰`The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim;

¹¹Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.

¹²And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;

¹³now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered; and we pass over the brook Zered.

¹⁴`And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them;

¹⁵and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed.

¹⁶`And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,

^{17 that Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,}

¹⁸Thou art passing over to-day the border of Moab, even Ar,

^{19 and thou hast come near over-against the sons of Ammon, thou dost not distress them, nor stir up thyself against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to thee [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given it [for] a possession.}

²⁰`A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;

²¹a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and Jehovah destroyeth them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,

²²as He hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto this day.

²³`As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto Azzah, the Caphtorim — who are coming out from Caphtor — have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.

²⁴`Rise ye, journey and pass over the brook Arnon; see, I have given into thy hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess, and stir up thyself against him [in] battle.

²⁵This day I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and have trembled and been pained because of thee.

^{26 `And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, — words of peace — saying,}

²⁷Let me pass over through thy land; in the several ways I go; I turn not aside — right or left —

^{28 food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet, —}

^{29 as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me — till that I pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.}

^{30 `And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit, and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as at this day.}

³¹`And Jehovah saith unto me, See, I have begun to give before thee Sihon and his land; begin to possess — to possess his land.

³²`And Sihon cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle to Jahaz;

^{33 and Jehovah our God giveth him before us, and we smite him, and his sons, and all his people;}

³⁴and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city, men, and the women, and the infants — we have not left a remnant;

³⁵only, the cattle we have spoiled for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.

³⁶`From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even unto Gilead there hath not been a city which [is] too high for us; the whole hath Jehovah our God given before us.

^{37 `Only, unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou hast not drawn near, any part of the brook Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which Jehovah our God hath [not] commanded. – Aslan International Ministry}

After these things Jesus – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 6 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

²and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

³and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

^{4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.}

⁵Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?’ —

⁶and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

⁷Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;’

⁸one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him,

⁹`There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?’

¹⁰And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;’ and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

¹¹and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

¹²And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;’

¹³they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

¹⁴The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;’

¹⁵Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

¹⁸the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,

^{19 having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;}

²⁰and he saith to them, `I am [he], be not afraid;’

^{21 they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.}

²²On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

²³(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

²⁴when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

²⁵and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?’

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

²⁷work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.’

²⁸They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?’

²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.’

^{30 They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?}

³¹our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.’

^{32 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;}

³³for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.’

³⁴They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.’

³⁵And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;

³⁶but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.’

⁴¹The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;’

⁴²and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?’

⁴³Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁴⁴no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁴⁵it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁶not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁴⁸I am the bread of the life;

⁴⁹your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹`I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.’

⁵²The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?’

⁵³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷`According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.’

^{59 These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;}

⁶⁰many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?’

⁶¹And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

⁶²if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

^{63 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;}

^{64 but there are certain of you who do not believe;’ for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,}

⁶⁵and he said, `Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.’

⁶⁶From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

⁶⁷Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?’

⁶⁸Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶⁹and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.’

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.

⁷¹And he spake of Judas, Simon’s [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve. – Aslan International Ministry

`And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;

²and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,

^{3 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.}

⁴`And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

^{5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.}

^{6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,}

⁷and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,

⁸and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.’

^{9 And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, `Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God;}

¹⁰and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.’

¹¹And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,

¹²`These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

¹³And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

^{14 `And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel — a loud voice:}

¹⁵`Cursed [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, — and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

¹⁶`Cursed [is] He who is making light of his father and his mother, — and all the people have said, Amen.

¹⁷`Cursed [is] he who is removing his neighbour’s border, — and all the people have said, Amen.

¹⁸`Cursed [is] he who is causing the blind to err in the way, — and all the people have said, Amen.

¹⁹`Cursed [is] he who is turning aside the judgment of fatherless, sojourner, and widow, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²⁰`Cursed [is] he who is lying with his father’s wife, for he hath uncovered his father’s skirt, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²¹`Cursed [is] he who is lying with any beast, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²²`Cursed [is] he who is lying with his sister, daughter of his father, or daughter of his mother, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²³`Cursed [is] he who is lying with his mother-in-law, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²⁴`Cursed [is] he who is smiting his neighbour in secret, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²⁵`Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, — and all the people have said, Amen.

²⁶`Cursed [is] he who doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, — and all the people have said, Amen. – Aslan International Ministry

`When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh unto the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrong-doer,

²then it hath come to pass, if the wrong-doer is to be smitten, that the judge hath caused him to fall down, and [one] hath smitten him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrong-doing, by number;

³forty [times] he doth smite him — he is not adding, lest, he is adding to smite him above these — many stripes, and thy brother is lightly esteemed in thine eyes.

⁴`Thou dost not muzzle an ox in its threshing.

⁵`When brethren dwell together, and one of them hath died, and hath no son, the wife of the dead is not without to a strange man; her husband’s brother doth go in unto her, and hath taken her to him for a wife, and doth perform the duty of her husband’s brother;

⁶and it hath been, the first-born which she beareth doth rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.

⁷`And if the man doth not delight to take his brother’s wife, then hath his brother’s wife gone up to the gate, unto the elders, and said, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he hath not been willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother;

⁸and the elders of his city have called for him, and spoken unto him, and he hath stood and said, I have no desire to take her;

^{9 `Then hath his brother’s wife drawn nigh unto him, before the eyes of the elders, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who doth not build up the house of his brother;}

¹⁰and his name hath been called in Israel — The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.

^{11 `When men strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one hath drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his smiter, and hath put forth her hand, and laid hold on his secrets,}

¹²then thou hast cut off her hand, thine eye doth not spare.

¹³`Thou hast not in thy bag a stone and a stone, a great and a small.

¹⁴Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.

^{15 Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;}

^{16 for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these things, any one doing iniquity.}

¹⁷`Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt,

¹⁸that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.

^{19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God’s giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the rememberance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget. – Aslan International Ministry}
