And I said unto you: dread not nor be afraid of them: The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did unto you in Egypt before your eyes and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, through ⟨p. III⟩out all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place. And yet for all this saying ye did not believe the Lord your God which goeth the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to go and in a cloud by day.
And I sayed vnto you: dreade not nor be afrayed of thē: The Lorde youre God which goeth before you, he shall fyghte for you, acordynge to all that he dyd vnto you in Egipte before youre eies ād in the wildernesse: as thou hast sene how that the Lorde thy God bare the as a man shulde beare his sonne, thorow ⟨p. III⟩out all the waye which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place. And yet for all this sayenge ye dyd not beleue the Lorde youre God which goeth the waye before you, to serche you out a place to pitche youre tentes in, in fyre by nyght, that ye myghte se what waye to go and in a cloude by daye.
And the Lord heard the voice of your words and was wroth and swore saying, there shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers, save Caleb the son of Jephune, he shall see it, and to him I will give the land which he hath walked in and to his children, because he hath continually followed the Lord. Likewise the Lord was angry with me for your sakes saying: thou also shalt not go in thither. But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore for he shall deuyde it unto Israel. Moreover your children which ye said should be a pray, and your sons which know nether good nor bad this day, they shall goo in thither and unto them I will give it, and they shall enjoy it. But as for you, turn back and take your journey in to the wilderness: even the way to the reed see.
