You will die<n id="1" /> on the mountain that you ascend and join your deceased ancestors,<n id="2" /> just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor<n id="3" /> and joined his deceased ancestors,

You replied to me that what I had said to you was good.

Therefore, you remained at Kadesh for a long time &#8211; indeed, for the full time.<n id="1" />p>

We kept only the livestock and plunder from the cities for ourselves.

<t /><p class="bodytext">This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">You must not put the <sc>Lordsc> your God to the test as you did at Massah.<n id="1" />

and that you may drive out all your enemies just as the <sc>Lordsc> said.p>

These are the ones you may not eat: the eagle,<n id="1" /> the vulture,<n id="2" /> the black vulture,<n id="3" />

You must not erect a sacred pillar,<n id="1" /> a thing the <sc>Lordsc> your God detests.

Now the length of time it took for us to go from Kadesh Barnea to the crossing of Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, time for all the military men of that generation to die, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had vowed to them.

just as the descendants of Esau who live at Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land the <sc>Lordsc> our God is giving us.&#8221;

From Aroer,<n id="1" /> which is at the edge of Wadi Arnon (it is the city in the wadi),<n id="2" /> all the way to Gilead there was not a town able to resist us &#8211; the <sc>Lordsc> our God gave them all to us.

You must fight<n id="1" /> until the <sc>Lordsc> gives your countrymen victory<n id="2" /> as he did you and they take possession of the land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan River. Then each of you may return to his own territory that I have given you.&#8221;

Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth<n id="1" /> today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.p>

Pay attention, Israel, and be careful to do this so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in number<n id="1" /> &#8211; as the <sc>Lordsc>, God of your ancestors,<n id="2" /> said to you, you will have a land flowing with milk and honey.p>

houses filled with choice things you did not accumulate, hewn out cisterns you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant &#8211; and you eat your fill,

the great judgments<n id="1" /> you saw, the signs and wonders, the strength and power<n id="2" /> by which he<n id="3" /> brought you out &#8211; thus the <sc>Lordsc> your God will do to all the people you fear.

or what he did to Dathan and Abiram,<n id="1" /> sons of Eliab the Reubenite,<n id="2" /> when the earth opened its mouth in the middle of the Israelite camp<n id="3" /> and swallowed them, their families,<n id="4" /> their tents, and all the property they brought with them.<n id="5" />

For the land where you are headed<n id="1" /> is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, a land where you planted seed and which you irrigated by hand<n id="2" /> like a vegetable garden.

<t /><p class="bodytext">These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to obey as long as you live in the land the <sc>Lordsc>, the God of your ancestors,<n id="1" /> has given you to possess.<n id="2" />
