God

And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of the captaines ouer the thousandes, and ouer the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memoriall of the children of Israel before the Lord.

Which countrey the Lord smote before the Congregation of Israel, is a lande meete for cattell, and thy seruants haue cattell:

Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lord hath giuen them?

Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the lande.

For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eshcol, and sawe the land: they discouraged the heart of the childre of Israel, that they woulde not goe into the lande, which the Lord had giuen them.

And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same day, and he did sweare, saying,

None of the men that came out of Egypt from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall see the land for the which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, because they haue not wholly followed me:

Except Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenesite, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun: for they haue constantly followed the Lord.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourty yeeres, vntill all the generation that had done euill in the sight of the Lord were consumed.

And behold, ye are risen vp in your fathers steade as an encrease of sinfull men, still to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord, toward Israel.

For if ye turne away from following him, he will yet againe leaue the people in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke.

And Moses saide vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, and goe armed before the Lord to warre:

And will goe euery one of you in harnesse ouer Iorden before the Lord, vntill he hath cast out his enemies from his sight:

And vntill the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall returne and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shalbe your possession before the Lord.

But if ye will not doe so, beholde, ye haue sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sinne will finde you out.

But thy seruants will goe euery one armed to warre before the Lord for to fight, as my lorde saith.

And Moses said vnto them, If the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, will go with you ouer Iorden, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall giue the the lad of Gilead for a possessio:

And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said vnto thy seruants, so will we doe.

We will goe armed before the Lord into the lande of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to vs on this side Iorden.

And Moses wrote their going out by their iourneies according to ye commandement of the Lord: so these are ye iourneies of their going out.

(For the Egyptians buried all their first borne, which the Lord had smitten among them: vpon their gods also the Lord did execution.)

(And Aaron the Priest went vp into mount Hor, at the commandement of the Lord, and died there, in the fourtieth yeere after the children of Israel were come out of the lande of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth moneth.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the playne of Moab, by Iorden towarde Iericho, saying,

And ye shall possesse the lande and dwell therein: for I haue giue you ye land to possesse it.

Moreouer, it shall come to passe, that I shall doe vnto you, as I thought to do vnto them.
