- Deuteronomy 1:39
וְטַפְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם לָבַז יִהְיֶה וּבְנֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדְעוּ הַיּוֹם טוֹב וָרָע הֵמָּה יָבֹאוּ שָׁמָּה וְלָהֶם אֶתְּנֶנָּה וְהֵם יִירָשׁוּהָ׃
Moreover, your little ones who you said would be carried off, your children who do not yet know good from bad, they shall enter it; to them will I give it and they shall possess it.
Targum Onkelos
וְטַפְלְכוֹן דַּאֲמַרְתּוּן לְבִזָּא יְהוֹן וּבְנֵיכוֹן דְּלָא יְדַעוּ יוֹמָא דֵין טָב וּבִישׁ אִנּוּן יֵיעֲלוּן לְתַמָּן וּלְהוֹן אֶתְּנִנַּהּ וְאִנּוּן יֵירְתוּנַּהּ׃
As to your infants, about whom you said, ‘They will become spoils,’ and your children who cannot distinguish today good from evil, they will arrive there; and to them will I give it and they will inherit it.
- Deuteronomy 1:40
וְאַתֶּם פְּנוּ לָכֶם וּסְעוּ הַמִּדְבָּרָה דֶּרֶךְ יַם־סוּף׃
As for you, turn about and march into the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds.
Targum Onkelos
וְאַתּוּן אִתְפְּנוֹ לְכוֹן וְטוּלוּ לְמַדְבְּרָא אוֹרַח יַמָּא דְּסוּף׃
As for you, turn yourselves [around], and travel into the wilderness by the Yam Suf road.’’
- Deuteronomy 1:41
וַתַּעֲנוּ ׀ וַתֹּאמְרוּ אֵלַי חָטָאנוּ לַיהֹוָה אֲנַחְנוּ נַעֲלֶה וְנִלְחַמְנוּ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַתַּחְגְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶת־כְּלֵי מִלְחַמְתּוֹ וַתָּהִינוּ לַעֲלֹת הָהָרָה׃
You replied to me, saying, “We stand guilty before GOD. We will go up now and fight, just as the ETERNAL our God commanded us.” And you each girded yourselves with war gear and recklessly started for the hill country.
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲתֵיבְתּוּן וַאֲמַרְתּוּן לִי חַבְנָא קֳדָם יְיָ אֲנַחְנָא נִסַּק וּנְגִיחַ קְרָב כְּכֹל דְּפַקְּדַנָא יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא וְזָרֵיזְתּוּן גְּבַר יָת מָאנֵי קְרָבֵיהּ וְשָׁרִיתוּן לְמִסַּק לְטוּרָא׃
You replied and said to me, ‘‘We have sinned to [before] Adonoy. We will go up and wage war in [fulfillment of] all that Adonoy, our God commanded us.’’ And each of you girded his weapons [of war], and you got ready [began] to go up the mountain.
- Deuteronomy 1:42
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי אֱמֹר לָהֶם לֹא תַעֲלוּ וְלֹא־תִלָּחֲמוּ כִּי אֵינֶנִּי בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְלֹא תִּנָּגְפוּ לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶם׃
But GOD said to me, “Warn them: Do not go up and do not fight, since I am not in your midst; else you will be routed by your enemies.”
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַר יְיָ לִי אֵימַר לְהוֹן לָא תִסְּקוּן וְלָא תְגִיחוּן קְרָב אֲרֵי לֵית שְׁכִינְתִי בֵּינֵיכוֹן וְלָא תִתַּבְרוּן קֳדָם בַּעֲלֵי דְּבָבֵיכוֹן׃
Adonoy said to me, ‘‘Say to them, ‘Do not go up and do not wage war, for I am not [My Shechinah does not dwell] in your midst; so that you will not be shattered by your enemies.’’’
- Deuteronomy 1:43
וָאֲדַבֵּר אֲלֵיכֶם וְלֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם וַתַּמְרוּ אֶת־פִּי יְהֹוָה וַתָּזִדוּ וַתַּעֲלוּ הָהָרָה׃
I spoke to you, but you would not listen; you flouted GOD’s command and willfully marched into the hill country.
Targum Onkelos
וּמַלֵּילִית עִמְּכוֹן וְלָא קַבֵּילְתּוּן וְסָרֵיבְתּוּן עַל מֵימְרָא דַּייָ וְאַרְשַׁעְתּוּן וּסְלֵיקְתּוּן לְטוּרָא׃
I told you, but you did not obey. You defied [the decree of the word of] Adonoy, and deliberately went up the hill.
- Deuteronomy 1:44
וַיֵּצֵא הָאֱמֹרִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּהָר הַהוּא לִקְרַאתְכֶם וַיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר תַּעֲשֶׂינָה הַדְּבֹרִים וַיַּכְּתוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׂעִיר עַד־חׇרְמָה׃
Then the Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you like so many bees and chased you, and they crushed you at Hormah in Seir.
Targum Onkelos
וּנְפַק אֱמוֹרָאָה דְּיָתֵיב בְּטוּרָא הַהוּא לְקַדָּמוּתְכוֹן וּרְדַפוּ יָתְכוֹן כְּמָא דְּנָתְזָן דַּבְרַיָתָא וּטְרַדוּ יָתְכוֹן בְּשֵׂעִיר עַד חָרְמָה׃
The Emorites came out—those who live in those hills—toward you, and chased you as the bees do [are dispersed]; and they crushed you in Se’ir till Chorma.
- Deuteronomy 1:45
וַתָּשֻׁבוּ וַתִּבְכּוּ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא־שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה בְּקֹלְכֶם וְלֹא הֶאֱזִין אֲלֵיכֶם׃
Again you wept before GOD; but GOD would not heed your cry or give ear to you.
Targum Onkelos
וְתַבְתּוּן וּבְכֵיתוֹן קֳדָם יְיָ וְלָא קַבֵּיל יְיָ צְלוֹתְכוֹן וְלָא אַצֵּית לְמִלֵּיכוֹן׃
You returned and wept before Adonoy, but Adonoy did not accept your prayer; He paid no attention to you [did not hearken to your words].
- Deuteronomy 1:46
וַתֵּשְׁבוּ בְקָדֵשׁ יָמִים רַבִּים כַּיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יְשַׁבְתֶּם׃
Thus, after you had remained at Kadesh all that long time,
Targum Onkelos
וִיתֵיבְתּוּן בִּרְקַם יוֹמִין סַגִּיאִין כְּיוֹמַיָּא דִּיתֵיבְתּוּן׃
You lived in Kodeish [Rekam] many years, like the years you lived [elsewhere].
- Deuteronomy 2:1
וַנֵּפֶן וַנִּסַּע הַמִּדְבָּרָה דֶּרֶךְ יַם־סוּף כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהֹוָה אֵלָי וַנָּסׇב אֶת־הַר־שֵׂעִיר יָמִים רַבִּים׃
we marched back into the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds, as GOD had spoken to me, and skirted the hill country of Seir a long time.
Targum Onkelos
וְאִתְפְּנִינָא וּנְטַלְנָא לְמַדְבְּרָא אוֹרַח יַמָּא דְּסוּף כְּמָא דְּמַלֵּיל יְיָ עִמִּי וְאַקֵּיפְנָא יָת טוּרָא דְּשֵׂעִיר יוֹמִין סַגִּיאִין׃
We turned and traveled into the wilderness by way of the Reed Sea [route] as Adonoy had told me, and we circled Mount Seir a long time.
