And today the <sc>Lordsc> has declared you to be his special people (as he already promised you) so you may keep all his commandments.

The <sc>Lordsc> is indeed going before you &#8211; he will be with you; he will not fail you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged!&#8221;p>

<p class="poetry">How can one man chase a thousand of them,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and two pursue ten thousand;p> <p class="poetry">unless their Rock had delivered them up,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and the <sc>Lordsc> had handed them over?p>

But the <sc>Lordsc> became angry with me because of you and vowed that I would never cross the Jordan nor enter the good land that he<n id="1" /> is about to give you.<n id="2" />

Moreover, he must not accumulate horses for himself or allow the people to return to Egypt to do so,<n id="1" /> for the <sc>Lordsc> has said you must never again return that way.

He said to them, &#8220;Today I am a hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to get about,<n id="1" /> and the <sc>Lordsc> has said to me, &#8216;You will not cross the Jordan.&#8217;
