For Adonai your God has blessed you in everything your hands have produced. He knows that you have been traveling through this vast desert; these forty years Adonai your God has been with you; and you have lacked nothing.'

Adonai said to me, ‘Don't be afraid of him; for I have handed him, all his people and his territory over to you; you will do to him as you did to Sichon king of the Emori, who lived at Heshbon.'

But we took all the livestock, along with the spoil from the cities, as booty for ourselves.

Don't be afraid of them, because Adonai your God will fight on your behalf.' Haftarah D'varim: Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah) 1:1–27 B'rit Hadashah suggested readings for Parashah D'varim: Yochanan (John) 15:1–11; Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 3:7–4:11 "Then I pleaded with Adonai , ‘Adonai Elohim , you have begun to reveal your greatness to your servant, and your strong hand — for what other god is there in heaven or on earth that can do the works and mighty deeds that you do? Please! Let me go across and see the good land on the other side of the Yarden, that wonderful hill-country and the L'vanon!' But Adonai was angry with me on account of you, and he didn't listen to me. Adonai said to me, ‘Enough from you! Don't say another word to me about this matter! Climb up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, north, south and east. Look with your eyes — but you will not go across this Yarden. However, commission Y'hoshua, encourage him and strengthen him; for he will lead this people across and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.'

Don't be afraid of them, because Adonai your God will fight on your behalf.' Haftarah D'varim: Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah) 1:1–27 B'rit Hadashah suggested readings for Parashah D'varim: Yochanan (John) 15:1–11; Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 3:7–4:11 "Then I pleaded with Adonai ,

‘Adonai Elohim , you have begun to reveal your greatness to your servant, and your strong hand — for what other god is there in heaven or on earth that can do the works and mighty deeds that you do?
