WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.540 Chapter 9. 00:02.280 --> 00:08.520 Hear, O Israel, thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess 00:08.520 --> 00:13.200 nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 00:13.760 --> 00:17.660 a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, 00:18.080 --> 00:23.200 and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak? 00:24.060 --> 00:29.040 Understand, therefore, this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth 00:29.040 --> 00:33.960 over before thee, as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring 00:33.960 --> 00:35.340 them down before thy face. 00:35.780 --> 00:40.420 So shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto 00:40.420 --> 00:46.240 thee, Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them 00:46.240 --> 00:50.880 out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in 00:50.880 --> 00:55.760 to possess this land, but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth 00:55.760 --> 00:57.380 drive them out from before thee. 00:58.160 --> 01:03.220 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go 01:03.220 --> 01:08.220 to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy 01:08.220 --> 01:13.260 God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the 01:13.260 --> 01:17.240 Lord swear unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 01:18.320 --> 01:22.500 Understand, therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to 01:22.500 --> 01:27.020 possess it for thy righteousness, for thou art a stiff-necked people. 01:28.020 --> 01:34.180 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokest the Lord thy God to wrath in the 01:34.180 --> 01:34.540 wilderness. 01:36.220 --> 01:41.020 From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt until ye came unto this 01:41.020 --> 01:43.920 place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord. 01:44.420 --> 01:49.960 Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you 01:49.960 --> 01:51.140 to have destroyed you. 01:51.140 --> 01:56.060 When I was gone up unto the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the 01:56.060 --> 02:00.600 tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty 02:00.600 --> 02:01.840 days and forty nights. 02:02.180 --> 02:07.440 I neither did eat bread nor drink water, and the Lord delivered unto me two tables 02:07.440 --> 02:12.500 of stone written with the finger of God, and on them was written according to all 02:12.500 --> 02:17.020 the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in 02:17.020 --> 02:17.960 the day of the assembly. 02:17.960 --> 02:23.180 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the Lord gave 02:23.180 --> 02:26.580 me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 02:26.940 --> 02:31.020 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence, 02:31.640 --> 02:35.840 for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted 02:35.840 --> 02:36.360 themselves. 02:37.200 --> 02:40.720 They are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. 02:41.220 --> 02:43.600 They have made them a molten image. 02:44.760 --> 02:48.300 Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, 02:48.460 --> 02:50.660 and behold, it is a stiff-necked people. 02:51.600 --> 02:56.140 Let me alone that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven, 02:56.440 --> 03:00.080 and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 03:00.480 --> 03:04.780 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire, 03:05.000 --> 03:07.740 and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 03:08.060 --> 03:12.900 And I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God and had made you 03:12.900 --> 03:14.020 a molten calf. 03:14.020 --> 03:18.420 Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you, 03:18.780 --> 03:23.920 and I took the two tables and cast them out of my two hands and break them before 03:23.920 --> 03:24.480 your eyes. 03:24.960 --> 03:29.220 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first forty days and forty 03:29.220 --> 03:29.600 nights. 03:30.160 --> 03:34.820 I did neither eat bread nor drink water because of all your sins which ye sinned 03:34.820 --> 03:38.640 in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 03:39.120 --> 03:44.260 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure wherewith the Lord was wroth 03:44.260 --> 03:45.900 against you to destroy you. 03:46.480 --> 03:51.560 But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also, and the Lord was very angry 03:51.560 --> 03:53.300 with Aaron to have destroyed him. 03:53.640 --> 03:56.220 And I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 03:56.820 --> 04:02.420 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped 04:02.420 --> 04:06.460 it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust. 04:06.580 --> 04:10.800 And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount, 04:10.800 --> 04:15.800 and at Taborah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothatehah. 04:16.380 --> 04:18.400 Ye provoked the Lord to wrath. 04:19.000 --> 04:23.700 Likewise, when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess 04:23.700 --> 04:25.320 the land which I have given you. 04:25.960 --> 04:29.680 Then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him 04:29.680 --> 04:31.920 not, nor hearkened to his voice. 04:32.980 --> 04:36.380 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. 04:37.000 --> 04:42.640 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at 04:42.640 --> 04:45.480 the first, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. 04:46.060 --> 04:51.480 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy 04:51.480 --> 04:55.920 people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, 04:56.420 --> 05:00.020 which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 05:00.860 --> 05:04.320 Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 05:04.320 --> 05:09.080 Look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, 05:09.320 --> 05:15.560 nor to their sin, lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the 05:15.560 --> 05:19.560 Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because 05:19.560 --> 05:23.220 he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. 05:24.320 --> 05:29.280 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by 05:29.280 --> 05:32.560 thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm. 05:32.560 --> 05:32.660 Amen.
