5 Across the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Torah saying,
6 “Adonai our God spoke to us at Horeb saying: ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
7 Turn, journey on, and enter the hill country of the Amorites and all their neighbors, in the Arabah, the hill country, the lowland, the Negev, and by the seashore—the land of the Canaanites and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the Euphrates.
8 See, I have set the land before you. Enter and possess the land that Adonai swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their descendants after them.’
9 “I spoke to you at that time saying: ‘I am not able to bear the burden of you by myself.
10 Adonai your God has multiplied you—and here you are today, like the stars of the heavens in number.
11 “‘May Adonai, God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times as many as you are, and may He bless you just as He has promised you!
