A Good Land to Be Possessed

81 'All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers; 2 and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which 'is' in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not. 3 'And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live. 4 'Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years, 5 and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee, 6 and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him. 7 'For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain: 8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey; 9 a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones 'are' iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;

10 and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.

Warning against Forgetting the LORD

11 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day; 12 lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited; 13 and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied: 14 'And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants; 15 who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness—burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock; 16 who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end), 17 and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth: 18 'And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it 'is' who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as 'at' this day. 19 'And it hath been—if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish; 20 as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.

Israel Conquers Og of Bashan

31 'And we turn, and go up the way to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle, 'to' Edrei. 2 'And Jehovah saith unto me, Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon. 3 'And Jehovah our God giveth into our hands also Og king of Bashan, and all his people, and we smite him till there hath not been left to him a remnant; 4 and we capture all his cities at that time, there hath not been a city which we have not taken from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these 'are' cities fenced with high walls, two-leaved doors and bar, apart from cities of villages very many; 6 and we devote them, as we have done to Sihon king of Heshbon, devoting every city, men, the women, and the infants; 7 and all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we have spoiled for ourselves. 8 'And we take, at that time, the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, which is beyond the Jordan, from the brook Arnon unto mount Hermon; 9 (Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion; and the Amorites call it Senir,) 10 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, 11 for only Og king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; lo, his bedstead 'is' a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits its length, and four cubits its breadth, by the cubit of a man.

Reuben, Gad, and Half of Manasseh Settle East of the Jordan

12 'And this land we have possessed, at that time; from Aroer, which 'is' by the brook Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I have given to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite; 13 and the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I have given to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, to all that Bashan, called the land of Rephaim. 14 'Jair son of Manasseh hath taken all the region of Argob, unto the border of Geshuri, and Maachathi, and calleth them by his own name, Bashan-Havoth-Jair, unto this day. 15 And to Machir I have given Gilead. 16 'And to the Reubenite and to the Gadite I have given from Gilead even unto the brook Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, even unto Jabbok the brook, the border of the sons of Ammon, 17 and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the springs of Pisgah, at the 'sun'-rising. 18 'And I command you, at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given to you this land to possess it; armed ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel, all the sons of might. 19 Only, your wives, and your infants, and your cattle—I have known that ye have much cattle—do dwell in your cities which I have given to you, 20 till that Jehovah give rest to your brethren like yourselves, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan, then ye have turned back each to his possession, which I have given to you.

21 'And Jehoshua I have commanded at that time, saying, Thine eyes are seeing all that which Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings—so doth Jehovah to all the kingdoms whither thou are passing over; 22 fear them not, for Jehovah your God, He is fighting for you.

Moses Not Permitted to Enter Canaan

23 'And I entreat for grace unto Jehovah, at that time, saying, 24 Lord Jehovah, Thou—Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness, and Thy strong hand; for who 'is' a God in the heavens or in earth who doth according to Thy works, and according to Thy might? 25 Let me pass over, I pray Thee, and see the good land which 'is' beyond the Jordan, this good hill-country, and Lebanon. 26 'And Jehovah sheweth himself wroth with me, for your sake, and hath not hearkened unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, Enough for thee; add not to speak unto Me any more about this thing: 27 go up 'to' the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with thine eyes—for thou dost not pass over this Jordan; 28 and charge Jehoshua, and strengthen him, and harden him, for he doth pass over before this people, and he doth cause them to inherit the land which thou seest. 29 'And we dwell in a valley over-against Beth-Peor.
