VeEthChanan (וָאֶתְחַנַּן)

Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11

Third Aliyah



4:41
Moses then designated three cities on the east of the Jordan, toward the rising sun,
Az yavdil Moshe shalosh arim be’ever haYarden mizrechah shamesh.
אָז יַבְדִּיל מֹשֶׁה שָׁלֹשׁ עָרִים, בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן, מִזְרְחָה, שָׁמֶשׁ.

4:42
where a murderer could escape. If a person killed his neighbor without intent and without prior enmity, he would be able to escape to one of these cities and live.
Lanus shamah rotse’ach asher yirtsach et-re’ehu bivli-da’at vehu lo-sone lo mitmol shilshom venas el-achat min-he’arim ha’el vachay.
לָנֻס שָׁמָּה רוֹצֵחַ, אֲשֶׁר יִרְצַח אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ בִּבְלִי-דַעַת, וְהוּא לֹא-שֹׂנֵא לוֹ, מִתְּמֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם; וְנָס, אֶל-אַחַת מִן-הֶעָרִים הָאֵל–וָחָי.

4:43
[The cities were] Betzer in the desert flatlands for the Reubenites, Ramoth in the Gilead for the Gaddites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
Et-betser bamidbar be’erets hamishor la-R’uveni ve’et-Ramot baGil’ad la-Gadi ve’et-Golan baBashan la-Menashi.
אֶת-בֶּצֶר בַּמִּדְבָּר בְּאֶרֶץ הַמִּישֹׁר, לָראוּבֵנִי; וְאֶת-רָאמֹת בַּגִּלְעָד לַגָּדִי, וְאֶת-גּוֹלָן בַּבָּשָׁן לַמְנַשִּׁי.

4:44
This is the law that Moses presented before the Israelites.
Vezot hatorah asher-sam Moshe lifney beney Yisra’el.
וְזֹאת, הַתּוֹרָה, אֲשֶׁר-שָׂם מֹשֶׁה, לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.

4:45
These are the rituals, rules and laws that Moses discussed with the Israelites when they left Egypt.
Eleh ha’edot vehachukim vehamishpatim asher diber Moshe el-beney Yisra’el betsetam miMitsrayim.
אֵלֶּה, הָעֵדֹת, וְהַחֻקִּים, וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים–אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּצֵאתָם מִמִּצְרָיִם.

4:46
[They were now] on the east bank of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor in the land of Sichon, king of Cheshbon, whom Moses and the Israelites had defeated when they left Egypt.
Be’ever haYarden bagay mul Beyt Pe’or be’erets Sichon melech ha’Emori asher yoshev beCheshbon asher hikah Moshe uveney Yisra’el betsetam miMitsrayim.
בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן בַּגַּיְא, מוּל בֵּית פְּעוֹר, בְּאֶרֶץ סִיחֹן מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי, אֲשֶׁר יוֹשֵׁב בְּחֶשְׁבּוֹן–אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה מֹשֶׁה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּצֵאתָם מִמִּצְרָיִם.

4:47
[The Israelites] occupied [Sichon’s] land, as well as the land of Og, king of Bashan. [These were] the two Amorite kings to the east of the Jordan.
Vayirshu et-artso ve’et-erets Og melech-haBashan sheney malchey ha’Emori asher be’ever haYarden mizrach shamesh.
וַיִּירְשׁוּ אֶת-אַרְצוֹ וְאֶת-אֶרֶץ עוֹג מֶלֶךְ-הַבָּשָׁן, שְׁנֵי מַלְכֵי הָאֱמֹרִי, אֲשֶׁר, בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן–מִזְרַח, שָׁמֶשׁ.

4:48
[The land] extended from Aro’er on the edge of the of the Arnon Gorge, to Mount Siyon, also known as Hermon,
Me’Aro’er asher al-sfat-nachal Arnon ve’ad-har Si’on hu Chermon.
מֵעֲרֹעֵר אֲשֶׁר עַל-שְׂפַת-נַחַל אַרְנֹן, וְעַד-הַר שִׂיאֹן–הוּא חֶרְמוֹן.

4:49
as well as the entire flood plain on the east bank of the Jordan, as far as the Aravah Sea under the rapids flowing from the cliff.
Vechol-ha’Aravah ever haYarden mizrachah ve’ad yam ha’Aravah tachat ashdot hapisgah.
וְכָל-הָעֲרָבָה עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן, מִזְרָחָה, וְעַד, יָם הָעֲרָבָה–תַּחַת, אַשְׁדֹּת הַפִּסְגָּה.
