HEAR, O Yashar'el: You are to pass over the Yardan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
A people great and tall, the children of the Anaqiym, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anaq!
Understand therefore this day, that Yahuah Elohayka is he which goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall you drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as Yahuah has said unto you.
Speak not in your heart, after that Yahuah Elohayka has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahuah has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yahuah drives them out from before you.
Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yahuah Elohayka drives them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which Yahuah swore unto your fathers, Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya`aqov.
Understand therefore, that Yahuah Elohayka gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiffnecked people.
Remember, and forget not, את how you provoked Yahuah Elohayka to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you did depart out of the land of Mitsrayim, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Yahuah.
Also in Chorev ye provoked Yahuah to wrath, so that Yahuah was angry with you to have destroyed you.
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the caphire stones, even the caphires of the covenant which Yahuah cut with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
And Yahuah delivered unto me two caphire stones written with the finger of Elohiym; and on them was written according to all the words, which Yahuah spoke with you in the Mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahuah gave me the two caphire stones, even the caphires of the covenant.
And Yahuah said unto me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people which you have brought forth out of Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
Furthermore Yahuah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
So I turned and came down from the Mount, and the Mount burned with fire: and the two caphires of the covenant were in my two hands.
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Yahuah Elohaykem, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahuah had commanded you.
And I took the two caphires, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
And I fell down before Yahuah, 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 Yahuah, to provoke him to anger.
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Yahuah was wroth against you to destroy you. But Yahuah hearkened unto me at that time also.
And Yahuah was very angry with Aharon to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aharon also the same time.
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.
And at Tav'erah, and at Maccah, and at Qivrot Hat-Ta'avah, ye provoked Yahuah to wrath.
Likewise when Yahuah sent you from Qadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Yahuah Elohaykem, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
Ye have been rebellious against Yahuah from the day that I knew you.
Thus I fell down before Yahuah את forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because Yahuah had said he would destroy you.
I prayed therefore unto El-Yahuah, and said, O Adonai Yahuah, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Mitsrayim with a mighty hand.
Remember your servants, Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya`aqov; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
Lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahuah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.
