Deuteronomy 9:1
|
|
Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan
this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities
great and fenced up to heaven, |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:2 |
|
A people great and tall, the children of the
Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before
the children of Anak! |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:3 |
|
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD
thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy
them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out,
and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:4 |
|
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the
LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness
the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these
nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:5 |
|
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness
of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of
these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that
he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:6 |
|
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God
giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art
a stiffnecked people. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:7 |
|
Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst
the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart
out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious
against the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:8 |
|
Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath,
so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:9 |
|
When I was gone up into the mount to receive
the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with
you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat
bread nor drink water: |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:10 |
|
And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of
stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all
the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the
fire in the day of the assembly. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:11 |
|
And it came to pass at the end of forty days
and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables
of the covenant. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:12 |
|
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down
quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt
have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which
I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:13 |
|
Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying,
I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:14 |
|
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot
out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and
greater than they. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:15 |
|
So I turned and came down from the mount, and
the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two
hands. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:16 |
|
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against
the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly
out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:17 |
|
And I took the two tables, and cast them out
of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:18 |
|
And I fell down before the LORD, as at the
first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water,
because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the
LORD, to provoke him to anger. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:19 |
|
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure,
wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened
unto me at that time also. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:20 |
|
And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have
destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:21 |
|
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made,
and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it
was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended
out of the mount. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:22 |
|
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah,
ye provoked the LORD to wrath. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:23 |
|
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea,
saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against
the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to
his voice. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:24 |
|
Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from
the day that I knew you. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:25 |
|
Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days
and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would
destroy you. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:26 |
|
I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said,
O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed
through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty
hand. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:27 |
|
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to
their sin: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:28 |
|
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out
say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised
them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the
wilderness. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 9:29 |
|
Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance,
which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm. |
