The Fourth Book of Moses, called Numbers

   {1:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the
second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
{1:2} Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of
Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, every male, by their polls; {1:3} from twenty
years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel,
thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts. {1:4} And with you
there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his fathers'
house. {1:5} And these are the names of the men that shall stand with
you. Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur. {1:6} Of Simeon: Shelumiel
the son of Zurishaddai. {1:7} Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
{1:8} Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar. {1:9} Of Zebulun: Eliab
the son of Helon. {1:10} Of the children of Joseph: Of Ephraim:
Elishama the son of Ammihud. Of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
{1:11} Of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni. {1:12} Of Dan: Ahiezer
the son of Ammishaddai. {1:13} Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran.
{1:14} Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel. {1:15} Of Naphtali: Ahira the
son of Enan. {1:16} These are they that were called of the
congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the
heads of the thousands of Israel. {1:17} And Moses and Aaron took these
men that are mentioned by name: {1:18} And they assembled all the
congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they
declared their pedigrees after their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, by their polls. {1:19} As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he
numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

   {1:20} And the children of Reuben, Israel's first-born, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years
old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; {1:21} those
that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six
thousand and five hundred.

   {1:22} Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, those that were numbered thereof,
according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
{1:23} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were
fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.

   {1:24} Of the children of Gad, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
{1:25} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were
forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. {1:26} Of the children
of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, all that were able to go forth to war; {1:27} those that were
numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen
thousand and six hundred.

   {1:28} Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:29} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

   {1:30} Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:31} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.

   {1:32} Of the children of Joseph, [namely], of the children of
Ephraim, their generations, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, all that were able to go forth to war; {1:33} those that were
numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five
hundred.

   {1:34} Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:35} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

   {1:36} Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:37} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.

   {1:38} Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
{1:39} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were
threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.

   {1:40} Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:41} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher,
were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

   {1:42} Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; {1:43} those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

   {1:44} These are they that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each
one for his fathers' house. {1:45} So all they that were numbered of
the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old
and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; {1:46}
even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three
thousand and five hundred and fifty.

   {1:47} But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
numbered among them. {1:48} For Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
{1:49} Only the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou
take the sum of them among the children of Israel; {1:50} but appoint
thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the
furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it: they shall bear
the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister
unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. {1:51} And when
the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and
when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and
the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. {1:52} And the
children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp,
and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts. {1:53} But
the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony,
that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel:
and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
testimony. {1:54} Thus did the children of Israel; according to all
that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did they.



   {2:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {2:2} The
children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the
ensigns of their fathers' houses: over against the tent of meeting
shall they encamp round about. {2:3} And those that encamp on the east
side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of
Judah, according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of
Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. {2:4} And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand
and six hundred. {2:5} And those that encamp next unto him shall be the
tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be
Nethanel the son of Zuar. {2:6} And his host, and those that were
numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. {2:7}
[And] the tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun
shall be Eliab the son of Helon. {2:8} And his host, and those that
were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
{2:9} All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were a hundred
thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred,
according to their hosts. They shall set forth first.

   {2:10} On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben
according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Reuben
shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. {2:11} And his host, and those that
were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
{2:12} And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of
Simeon: and the prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the
son of Zurishaddai. {2:13} And his host, and those that were numbered
of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. {2:14} And the
tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph
the son of Reuel. {2:15} And his host, and those that were numbered of
them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. {2:16}
All that were numbered of the camp of Reuben were a hundred thousand
and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to
their hosts. And they shall set forth second.

   {2:17} Then the tent of meeting shall set forward, with the camp of
the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they encamp, so shall they
set forward, every man in his place, by their standards.

   {2:18} On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Ephraim
shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. {2:19} And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.
{2:20} And next unto him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince
of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
{2:21} And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty
and two thousand and two hundred. {2:22} And the tribe of Benjamin: and
the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of
Gideoni. {2:23} And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. {2:24} All that were
numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred thousand and eight
thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set
forth third.

   {2:25} On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan
according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Dan shall
be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {2:26} And his host, and those that
were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven
hundred. {2:27} And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe
of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the
son of Ochran. {2:28} And his host, and those that were numbered of
them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. {2:29} And the
tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be
Ahira the son of Enan. {2:30} And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
{2:31} All that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred
thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall set
forth hindmost by their standards.

   {2:32} These are they that were numbered of the children of Israel
by their fathers' houses: all that were numbered of the camps according
to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty. {2:33} But the Levites were not numbered among the
children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses. {2:34} Thus did the
children of Israel; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so
they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, every one by
their families, according to their fathers' houses.



   {3:1} Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai. {3:2} And these are the
names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar. {3:3} These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the
priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the
priest's office. {3:4} And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah, when
they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai,
and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the
priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.

   {3:5} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {3:6} Bring the tribe of
Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister
unto him. {3:7} And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the
whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the
tabernacle. {3:8} And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of
meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of
the tabernacle. {3:9} And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to
his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children
of Israel. {3:10} And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they
shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
put to death.

   {3:11} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {3:12} And I, behold, I
have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all
the first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and
the Levites shall be mine: {3:13} for all the first-born are mine; on
the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed
unto me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast; mine they
shall be: I am Jehovah.

   {3:14} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
saying, {3:15} Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by
their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou
number them. {3:16} And Moses numbered them according to the word of
Jehovah, as he was commanded. {3:17} And these were the sons of Levi by
their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. {3:18} And these are the
names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
{3:19} And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar,
Hebron, and Uzziel. {3:20} And the sons of Merari by their families:
Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to
their fathers' houses.

   {3:21} Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites. {3:22} Those
that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males,
from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were
seven thousand and five hundred. {3:23} The families of the Gershonites
shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward. {3:24} And the prince of
the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of
Lael. {3:25} And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of
meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the Tent, the covering thereof,
and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting, {3:26} and the
hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which
is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it
for all the service thereof.

   {3:27} And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family
of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of
the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. {3:28}
According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
there were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary. {3:29} The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on
the side of the tabernacle southward. {3:30} And the prince of the
fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the
son of Uzziel. {3:31} And their charge shall be the ark, and the table,
and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary
wherewith they minister, and the screen, and all the service thereof.
{3:32} And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the
princes of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the
charge of the sanctuary.

   {3:33} Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of
the Mushites: these are the families of Merari. {3:34} And those that
were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a
month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred. {3:35} And the
prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the
son of Abihail: they shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle
northward. {3:36} And the appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall
be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars
thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the instruments thereof, and
all the service thereof, {3:37} and the pillars of the court round
about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

   {3:38} And those that encamp before the tabernacle eastward, before
the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, shall be Moses, and Aaron and
his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the
children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to
death. {3:39} All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their families, all
the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

   {3:40} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Number all the first-born males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names. {3:41} And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I
am Jehovah) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel;
and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the
cattle of the children of Israel: {3:42} and Moses numbered, as Jehovah
commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel. {3:43}
And all the first-born males according to the number of names, from a
month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty
and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

   {3:44} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {3:45} Take the Levites
instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the
cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be
mine: I am Jehovah. {3:46} And for the redemption of the two hundred
and threescore and thirteen of the first-born of the children of
Israel, that are over and above [the number of] the Levites, {3:47}
thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of
the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
{3:48} and thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them
is redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. {3:49} And Moses took the
redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were
redeemed by the Levites; {3:50} from the first-born of the children of
Israel took he the money, a thousand three hundred and threescore and
five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary: {3:51} and Moses
gave the redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the
word of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.





   {4:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {4:2}
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by
their families, by their fathers' houses, {4:3} from thirty years old
and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service,
to do the work in the tent of meeting. {4:4} This is the service of the
sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, [about] the most holy things:
{4:5} when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons,
and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of
the testimony with it, {4:6} and shall put thereon a covering of
sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put
in the staves thereof. {4:7} And upon the table of showbread they shall
spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and
the bowls and the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread
shall be thereon: {4:8} and they shall spread upon them a cloth of
scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
in the staves thereof. {4:9} And they shall take a cloth of blue, and
cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers,
and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto it: {4:10} and they shall put it and all the vessels
thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the frame.
{4:11} And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves
thereof: {4:12} and they shall take all the vessels of ministry,
wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of
blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on
the frame. {4:13} And they shall take away the ashes from the altar,
and spread a purple cloth thereon: {4:14} and they shall put upon it
all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the
firepans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the
vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of
sealskin, and put in the staves thereof. {4:15} And when Aaron and his
sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture
of the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of
Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary,
lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
tent of meeting. {4:16} And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the
continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the
furniture thereof.

   {4:17} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {4:18}
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among
the Levites; {4:19} but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not
die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons
shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his
burden; {4:20} but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a
moment, lest they die.

   {4:21} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {4:22} Take the sum of
the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;
{4:23} from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt
thou number them; all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do the
work in the tent of meeting. {4:24} This is the service of the families
of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: {4:25} they
shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its
covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the
screen for the door of the tent of meeting, {4:26} and the hangings of
the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which
is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and
all the instruments of their service, and whatsoever shall be done with
them: therein shall they serve. {4:27} At the commandment of Aaron and
his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in
all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto
them in charge all their burden. {4:28} This is the service of the
families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting: and
their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the
priest.

   {4:29} As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their
families, by their fathers' houses; {4:30} from thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that
entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.
{4:31} And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their
service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the
bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, {4:32}
and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their
service: and by name ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of
their burden. {4:33} This is the service of the families of the sons of
Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

   {4:34} And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their
fathers' houses, {4:35} from thirty years old and upward even unto
fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting: {4:36} and those that were numbered of them by
their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. {4:37} These
are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that
did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered
according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses. {4:38} And those that
were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by their
fathers' houses, {4:39} from thirty years old and upward even unto
fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting, {4:40} even those that were numbered of them, by
their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six
hundred and thirty. {4:41} These are they that were numbered of the
families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of
meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of
Jehovah.

   {4:42} And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, by their families, by their fathers' houses, {4:43} from thirty
years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered
upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting, {4:44} even those
that were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and
two hundred. {4:45} These are they that were numbered of the families
of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the
commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

   {4:46} All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and by
their fathers' houses, {4:47} from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the work of
service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting, {4:48}
even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five
hundred and fourscore. {4:49} According to the commandment of Jehovah
they were numbered by Moses, every one according to his service, and
according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as Jehovah
commanded Moses.





   {5:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {5:2} Command the
children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and
every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is unclean by the dead:
{5:3} both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye
put them; that they defile not their camp, in the midst whereof I
dwell. {5:4} And the children of Israel did so, and put them out
without the camp; as Jehovah spake unto Moses, so did the children of
Israel.

   {5:5} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {5:6} Speak unto the
children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men
commit, so as to trespass against Jehovah, and that soul shall be
guilty; {5:7} then he shall confess his sin which he hath done: and he
shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it the fifth
part thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he hath been
guilty. {5:8} But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitution may be
made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made unto
Jehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement,
whereby atonement shall be made for him. {5:9} And every heave-offering
of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present
unto the priest, shall be his. {5:10} And every man's hallowed things
shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

   {5:11} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {5:12} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and
commit a trespass against him, {5:13} and a man lie with her carnally,
and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she
be defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she be not taken
in the act; {5:14} and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
{5:15} then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall
bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal;
he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a
meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing
iniquity to remembrance.

   {5:16} And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before
Jehovah: {5:17} and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen
vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the
priest shall take, and put it into the water. {5:18} And the priest
shall set the woman before Jehovah, and let the hair of the woman's
head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands,
which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in
his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. {5:19} And the
priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no
man have lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to
uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of
bitterness that causeth the curse. {5:20} But if thou have gone aside,
being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain
with thee besides thy husband: {5:21} then the priest shall cause the
woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto
the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when
Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; {5:22}
and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and
make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall
say, Amen, Amen.

   {5:23} And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out into the water of bitterness: {5:24} and he shall
make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse;
and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her [and become]
bitter. {5:25} And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy
out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before
Jehovah, and bring it unto the altar: {5:26} and the priest shall take
a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial thereof, and burn it
upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
{5:27} And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to
pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her
husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her
[and become] bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall
away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. {5:28} And if
the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and
shall conceive seed.

   {5:29} This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; {5:30} or when the spirit of
jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then shall
he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall execute upon her
all this law. {5:31} And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that
woman shall bear her iniquity.



   {6:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall
make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto
Jehovah, {6:3} he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he
shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither
shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
{6:4} All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made
of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

   {6:5} All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor
come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth
himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow long.

   {6:6} All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall
not come near to a dead body. {6:7} He shall not make himself unclean
for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister,
when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his head. {6:8}
All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah.

   {6:9} And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the
head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his
cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. {6:10} And on the
eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to
the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting: {6:11} and the priest
shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering,
and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead,
and shall hallow his head that same day. {6:12} And he shall separate
unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a
year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void,
because his separation was defiled.

   {6:13} And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his
separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent
of meeting: {6:14} and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one
he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one
ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram
without blemish for peace-offerings, {6:15} and a basket of unleavened
bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers
anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings.
{6:16} And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall
offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: {6:17} and he shall
offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the
basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the
meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. {6:18} And the
Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent
of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and
put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings.
{6:19} And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and
one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven
[the head of] his separation; {6:20} and the priest shall wave them for
a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together
with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may
drink wine.

   {6:21} This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, [and of] his
oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able
to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the
law of his separation.

   {6:22} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:23} Speak unto Aaron
and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of
Israel: ye shall say unto them,

   {6:24} Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

   {6:25} Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious
unto thee:

   {6:26} Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace.

   {6:27} So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I
will bless them.



   {7:1} And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of
setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and
all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof,
and had anointed them and sanctified them; {7:2} that the princes of
Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These were the
princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that were
numbered: {7:3} and they brought their oblation before Jehovah, six
covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes,
and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
{7:4} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {7:5} Take it of them, that
they may be [used] in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and
thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his
service. {7:6} And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them
unto the Levites. {7:7} Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons
of Gershon, according to their service: {7:8} and four wagons and eight
oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. {7:9} But unto
the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary
belonged unto them; they bare it upon their shoulders. {7:10} And the
princes offered for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was
anointed, even the princes offered their oblation before the altar.
{7:11} And Jehovah said unto Moses, They shall offer their oblation,
each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.

   {7:12} And he that offered his oblation the first day was Nahshon
the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah: {7:13} and his oblation

   {7:89} And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with
him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from above the
mercy-seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two
cherubim: and he spake unto him.



   {8:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {8:2} Speak unto Aaron,
and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall
give light in front of the candlestick. {8:3} And Aaron did so; he
lighted the lamps thereof [so as to give light] in front of the
candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses. {8:4} And this was the work of
the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, [and] unto
the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern
which Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

   {8:5} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {8:6} Take the Levites
from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. {8:7} And thus
shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of
expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their
flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. {8:8}
Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour
mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a
sin-offering. {8:9} And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent
of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the
children of Israel: {8:10} and thou shalt present the Levites before
Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the
Levites: {8:11} and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Jehovah for a
wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be
theirs to do the service of Jehovah. {8:12} And the Levites shall lay
their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and offer thou the one for
a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto Jehovah, to
make atonement for the Levites. {8:13} And thou shalt set the Levites
before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering
unto Jehovah.

   {8:14} Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine. {8:15} And after that shall
the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and thou
shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering. {8:16} For they
are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of
all that openeth the womb, even the first-born of all the children of
Israel, have I taken them unto me. {8:17} For all the first-born among
the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I
smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for
myself. {8:18} And I have taken the Levites instead of all the
first-born among the children of Israel. {8:19} And I have given the
Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of
Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of
meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there
be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel
come nigh unto the sanctuary.

   {8:20} Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto all that Jehovah
commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel
unto them. {8:21} And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and
they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a wave-offering
before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
{8:22} And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the
tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

   {8:23} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {8:24} This is that
which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and
upward they shall go in to wait upon the service in the work of the
tent of meeting: {8:25} and from the age of fifty years they shall
cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more, {8:26} but shall
minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the
charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites
touching their charges.



   {9:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land
of Egypt, saying, {9:2} Moreover let the children of Israel keep the
passover in its appointed season. {9:3} In the fourteenth day of this
month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to
all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof,
shall ye keep it. {9:4} And Moses spake unto the children of Israel,
that they should keep the passover. {9:5} And they kept the passover in
the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the
wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel. {9:6} And there were certain men, who were
unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not
keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before
Aaron on that day: {9:7} and those men said unto him, We are unclean by
reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we
may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the
children of Israel? {9:8} And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may
hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.

   {9:9} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {9:10} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations
shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off,
yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah. {9:11} In the second month
on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it
with unleavened bread and bitter herbs: {9:12} they shall leave none of
it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the
statute of the passover they shall keep it. {9:13} But the man that is
clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover,
that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the
oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his
sin. {9:14} And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep
the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover,
and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have
one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the
land.

   {9:15} And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it
was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until
morning. {9:16} So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the
appearance of fire by night. {9:17} And whenever the cloud was taken up
from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed:
and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel
encamped. {9:18} At the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as
the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped. {9:19} And
when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children
of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not. {9:20} And
sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according
to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to
the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. {9:21} And sometimes the
cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up
in the morning, they journeyed: or [if it continued] by day and by
night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. {9:22} Whether it
were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the
tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped,
and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed. {9:23} At
the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of
Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the
commandment of Jehovah by Moses.



   {10:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {10:2} Make thee two
trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt
use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of
the camps. {10:3} And when they shall blow them, all the congregation
shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.
{10:4} And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. {10:5} And when
ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their
journey. {10:6} And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps
that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an
alarm for their journeys. {10:7} But when the assembly is to be
gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
{10:8} And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and
they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your
generations. {10:9} And when ye go to war in your land against the
adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the
trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye
shall be saved from your enemies. {10:10} Also in the day of your
gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months,
ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the
sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a
memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

   {10:11} And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month,
on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from
over the tabernacle of the testimony. {10:12} And the children of
Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. {10:13} And they
first took their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by
Moses. {10:14} And in the first [place] the standard of the camp of the
children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his
host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. {10:15} And over the host of the
tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. {10:16}
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the
son of Helon. {10:17} And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons
of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle, set
forward. {10:18} And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of
Shedeur. {10:19} And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. {10:20} And over the host
of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

   {10:21} And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and
[the others] did set up the tabernacle against their coming. {10:22}
And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of
Ammihud. {10:23} And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. {10:24} And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

   {10:25} And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which
was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their
hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {10:26}
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the
son of Ochran. {10:27} And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. {10:28} Thus were the
journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and
they set forward.

   {10:29} And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite,
Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah
said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good;
for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel. {10:30} And he said
unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my
kindred. {10:31} And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as
thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be
to us instead of eyes. {10:32} And it shall be, if thou go with us,
yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the
same will we do unto thee.

   {10:33} And they set forward from the mount of Jehovah three days'
journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them three
days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them. {10:34} And the
cloud of Jehovah was over them by day, when they set forward from the
camp. {10:35} And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let
them that hate thee flee before thee. {10:36} And when it rested, he
said, Return, O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of
Israel.



   {11:1} And the people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears
of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled; and the
fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of
the camp. {11:2} And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto
Jehovah, and the fire abated. {11:3} And the name of that place was
called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.

   {11:4} And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted
exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who
shall give us flesh to eat? {11:5} We remember the fish, which we did
eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks,
and the onions, and the garlic: {11:6} but now our soul is dried away;
there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon. {11:7} And the
manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the
appearance of bdellium. {11:8} The people went about, and gathered it,
and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots,
and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil. {11:9} And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it. {11:10} And Moses heard the people weeping throughout
their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of
Jehovah was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. {11:11} And
Moses said unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy
servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou
layest the burden of all this people upon me? {11:12} Have I conceived
all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say
unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the
sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
{11:13} Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. {11:14} I am
not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
{11:15} And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of
hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my
wretchedness.

   {11:16} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of
the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people,
and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that
they may stand there with thee. {11:17} And I will come down and talk
with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and
will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people
with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. {11:18} And say thou
unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall
eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall
give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore
Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. {11:19} Ye shall not eat
one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty
days, {11:20} but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils,
and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected Jehovah who
is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out
of Egypt? {11:21} And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six
hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,
that they may eat a whole month. {11:22} Shall flocks and herds be
slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be
gathered together for them, to suffice them? {11:23} And Jehovah said
unto Moses, Is Jehovah's hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether
my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

   {11:24} And Moses went out, and told the people the words of
Jehovah: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and
set them round about the Tent. {11:25} And Jehovah came down in the
cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him,
and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the
Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

   {11:26} But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one
was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested upon
them; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out
unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. {11:27} And there ran a
young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the
camp. {11:28} And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of
his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. {11:29}
And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all
Jehovah's people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon
them! {11:30} And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of
Israel.

   {11:31} And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails
from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on
this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp,
and about two cubits above the face of the earth. {11:32} And the
people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day,
and gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers:
and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
{11:33} While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,
the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote
the people with a very great plague. {11:34} And the name of that place
was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that
lusted. {11:35} From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed unto
Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.



   {12:1} And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
{12:2} And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath
he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it. {12:3} Now the man
Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the
earth.

   {12:4} And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three
came out. {12:5} And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood
at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both
came forth. {12:6} And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a
prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a
vision, I will speak with him in a dream. {12:7} My servant Moses is
not so; he is faithful in all my house: {12:8} with him will I speak
mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form
of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak
against my servant, against Moses?

   {12:9} And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he
departed. {12:10} And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and,
behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. {12:11} And Aaron said unto
Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have
done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. {12:12} Let her not, I
pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh
out of his mother's womb. {12:13} And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying,
Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. {12:14} And Jehovah said unto Moses,
If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven
days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that
she shall be brought in again. {12:15} And Miriam was shut up without
the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was
brought in again.

   {12:16} And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and
encamped in the wilderness of Paran.



   {13:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {13:2} Send thou men,
that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the
children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a
man, every one a prince among them. {13:3} And Moses sent them from the
wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of
them men who were heads of the children of Israel. {13:4} And these
were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
{13:5} Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. {13:6} Of the
tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. {13:7} Of the tribe of
Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. {13:8} Of the tribe of Ephraim,
Hoshea the son of Nun. {13:9} Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son
of Raphu. {13:10} Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
{13:11} Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gaddi the son of Susi. {13:12} Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of
Gemalli. {13:13} Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
{13:14} Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. {13:15} Of
the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. {13:16} These are the names
of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea
the son of Nun Joshua.

   {13:17} And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said
unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the
hill-country: {13:18} and see the land, what it is; and the people that
dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or
many; {13:19} and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is
good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in
camps, or in strongholds; {13:20} and what the land is, whether it is
fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good
courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time
of the first-ripe grapes.

   {13:21} So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness
of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. {13:22} And they went up
by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai,
the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years
before Zoan in Egypt.) {13:23} And they came unto the valley of Eshcol,
and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they
bare it upon a staff between two; [they brought] also of the
pomegranates, and of the figs. {13:24} That place was called the valley
of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down
from thence.

   {13:25} And they returned from spying out the land at the end of
forty days. {13:26} And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and
to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness
of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the
congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. {13:27} And they
told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us; and
surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
{13:28} Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the
cities are fortified, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the
children of Anak there. {13:29} Amalek dwelleth in the land of the
South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the
hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the
side of the Jordan.

   {13:30} And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us
go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
{13:31} But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go
up against the people; for they are stronger than we. {13:32} And they
brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the
children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy
it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the
people that we saw in it are men of great stature. {13:33} And there we
saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we
were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.



   {14:1} And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried;
and the people wept that night. {14:2} And all the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation
said unto them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would
that we had died in this wilderness! {14:3} And wherefore doth Jehovah
bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little
ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

   {14:4} And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let
us return into Egypt. {14:5} Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
{14:6} And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who
were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes: {14:7} and
they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying,
The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good
land. {14:8} If Jehovah delight in us, then he will bring us into this
land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
{14:9} Only rebel not against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of
the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over
them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not. {14:10} But all the
congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah
appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.

   {14:11} And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long will this people
despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs
which I have wrought among them? {14:12} I will smite them with the
pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater
and mightier than they.

   {14:13} And Moses said unto Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear
it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;
{14:14} and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They
have heard that thou Jehovah art in the midst of this people; for thou
Jehovah art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and
thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of
fire by night. {14:15} Now if thou shalt kill this people as one man,
then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
{14:16} Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land
which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the
wilderness. {14:17} And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be
great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, {14:18} Jehovah is slow
to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and
transgression; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon
the fourth generation. {14:19} Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of
this people according unto the greatness of thy lovingkindness, and
according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

   {14:20} And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
{14:21} but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be
filled with the glory of Jehovah; {14:22} because all those men that
have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the
wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened
to my voice; {14:23} surely they shall not see the land which I sware
unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it:
{14:24} but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him,
and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he
went; and his seed shall possess it. {14:25} Now the Amalekite and the
Canaanite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn ye, and get you into the
wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

   {14:26} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {14:27}
How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur
against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel,
which they murmur against me. {14:28} Say unto them, As I live, saith
Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
{14:29} your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that
were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years
old and upward, that have murmured against me, {14:30} surely ye shall
not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you
dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of
Nun. {14:31} But your little ones, that ye said should be a prey, them
will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
{14:32} But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
{14:33} And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty
years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies be
consumed in the wilderness. {14:34} After the number of the days in
which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year,
shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my
alienation. {14:35} I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely this will I do unto
all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in
this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

   {14:36} And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who
returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by
bringing up an evil report against the land, {14:37} even those men
that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before
Jehovah. {14:38} But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.

   {14:39} And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel:
and the people mourned greatly. {14:40} And they rose up early in the
morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are
here, and will go up unto the place which Jehovah hath promised: for we
have sinned. {14:41} And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the
commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper? {14:42} Go not up,
for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your
enemies. {14:43} For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before
you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from
following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you. {14:44} But
they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark
of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
{14:45} Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who dwelt in
that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.



   {15:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {15:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land
of your habitations, which I give unto you, {15:3} and will make an
offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to
accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to
make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock; {15:4}
then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a
meal-offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with
the fourth part of a hin of oil: {15:5} and wine for the
drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the
burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. {15:6} Or for a
ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts [of an
ephah] of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:
{15:7} and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a
hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. {15:8} And when thou
preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to
accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah; {15:9} then
shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts
[of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil: {15:10} and
thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

   {15:11} Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or
for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. {15:12} According to the
number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to
their number. {15:13} All that are home-born shall do these things
after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto Jehovah. {15:14} And if a stranger sojourn with you, or
whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so
he shall do. {15:15} For the assembly, there shall be one statute for
you, and for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], a statute for
ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be
before Jehovah. {15:16} One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and
for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

   {15:17} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {15:18} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land
whither I bring you, {15:19} then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the
bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.
{15:20} Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a
heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall
ye heave it. {15:21} Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto
Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.

   {15:22} And when ye shall err, and not observe all these
commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, {15:23} even all
that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah
gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; {15:24} then
it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the
congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock
for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the
meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the
ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering. {15:25} And the priest
shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have
brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and
their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error: {15:26} and all the
congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the
stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people
it was done unwittingly.

   {15:27} And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a
she-goat a year old for a sin-offering. {15:28} And the priest shall
make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly,
before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
{15:29} Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for
him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourneth among them. {15:30} But the soul that doeth
aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the
same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his
people. {15:31} Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath
broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his
iniquity shall be upon him.

   {15:32} And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day. {15:33} And
they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron,
and unto all the congregation. {15:34} And they put him in ward,
because it had not been declared what should be done to him. {15:35}
And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all
the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. {15:36}
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him
to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {15:37} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {15:38} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the
borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they
put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue: {15:39} and it shall
be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all
the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after
your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the
harlot; {15:40} that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be
holy unto your God. {15:41} I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.



   {16:1} Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of
Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]: {16:2} and they rose up before
Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty
princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
{16:3} and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against
Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the
congregation are holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them:
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?

   {16:4} And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: {16:5} and he
spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning
Jehovah will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to
come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come
near unto him. {16:6} This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his
company; {16:7} and put fire in them, and put incense upon them before
Jehovah to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth
choose, he [shall be] holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
{16:8} And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi: {16:9}
[seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath
separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to
himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand
before the congregation to minister unto them; {16:10} and that he hath
brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and
seek ye the priesthood also? {16:11} Therefore thou and all thy company
are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye
murmur against him?

   {16:12} And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab;
and they said, We will not come up: {16:13} is it a small thing that
thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to
kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a
prince over us? {16:14} Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land
flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

   {16:15} And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Jehovah, Respect not
thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I
hurt one of them. {16:16} And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all
thy company before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:
{16:17} and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them,
and bring ye before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty
censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer. {16:18} And they took
every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon,
and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
{16:19} And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the
door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all
the congregation.

   {16:20} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {16:21}
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume
them in a moment. {16:22} And they fell upon their faces, and said, O
God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt
thou be wroth with all the congregation? {16:23} And Jehovah spake unto
Moses, saying, {16:24} Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up
from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

   {16:25} And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel followed him. {16:26} And he spake unto the
congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these
wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all
their sins. {16:27} So they gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and
stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and
their little ones. {16:28} And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that
Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done
them] of mine own mind. {16:29} If these men die the common death of
all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then
Jehovah hath not sent me. {16:30} But if Jehovah make a new thing, and
the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain
unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand
that these men have despised Jehovah.

   {16:31} And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these
words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them; {16:32} and
the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their
goods. {16:33} So they, and all that appertained to them, went down
alive into Sheol: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished
from among the assembly. {16:34} And all Israel that were round about
them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us
up. {16:35} And fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two
hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.

   {16:36} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {16:37} Speak unto
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of
the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy,
{16:38} even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and
let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they
offered them before Jehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be
a sign unto the children of Israel. {16:39} And Eleazar the priest took
the brazen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they
beat them out for a covering of the altar, {16:40} to be a memorial
unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, that is not
of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before Jehovah; that he
be not as Korah, and as his company: as Jehovah spake unto him by Moses.

   {16:41} But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of
Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed
the people of Jehovah. {16:42} And it came to pass, when the
congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they
looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it,
and the glory of Jehovah appeared. {16:43} And Moses and Aaron came to
the front of the tent of meeting. {16:44} And Jehovah spake unto Moses,
saying, {16:45} Get you up from among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. {16:46} And
Moses said unto Aaron, Take they censer, and put fire therein from off
the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the
congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out
from Jehovah; the plague is begun. {16:47} And Aaron took as Moses
spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague
was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made
atonement for the people. {16:48} And he stood between the dead and the
living; and the plague was stayed. {16:49} Now they that died by the
plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died
about the matter of Korah. {16:50} And Aaron returned unto Moses unto
the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.



   {17:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {17:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house,
of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods:
write thou every man's name upon his rod. {17:3} And thou shalt write
Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each
head of their fathers' houses. {17:4} And thou shalt lay them up in the
tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. {17:5} And
it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose
shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the
children of Israel, which they murmur against you. {17:6} And Moses
spake unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods,
for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve
rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. {17:7} And Moses laid
up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.

   {17:8} And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the
tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of
Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bare
ripe almonds. {17:9} And Moses brought out all the rods from before
Jehovah unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took
every man his rod. {17:10} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put back the
rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the
children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings
against me, that they die not. {17:11} Thus did Moses: as Jehovah
commanded him, so did he.

   {17:12} And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold,
we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. {17:13} Every one that
cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth:
shall we perish all of us?



   {18:1} And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy
fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and
thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
{18:2} And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy
father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee,
and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before
the tent of the testimony. {18:3} And they shall keep thy charge, and
the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the
vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither
they, nor ye. {18:4} And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the
charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a
stranger shall not come nigh unto you. {18:5} And ye shall keep the
charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be
wrath no more upon the children of Israel. {18:6} And I, behold, I have
taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to
you they are a gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent
of meeting. {18:7} And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your
priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil;
and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and
the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

   {18:8} And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given
thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of
the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the
anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever. {18:9} This shall be
thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation
of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering
of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall
render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. {18:10}
As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat
thereof: it shall be holy unto thee. {18:11} And this is thine: the
heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the
children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to
thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean
in thy house shall eat thereof. {18:12} All the best of the oil, and
all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them
which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them. {18:13} The
first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto
Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat
thereof. {18:14} Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine. {18:15}
Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto
Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the
first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of
unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. {18:16} And those that are to be
redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine
estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). {18:17} But the firstling of a
cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou
shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon
the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a
sweet savor unto Jehovah. {18:18} And the flesh of them shall be thine,
as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. {18:19}
All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of
Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy
daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt
for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee. {18:20}
And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their
land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion
and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

   {18:21} And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the
tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which
they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. {18:22} And
henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of
meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. {18:23} But the Levites shall do
the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity:
it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among
the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. {18:24} For the
tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering
unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore
I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no
inheritance.

   {18:25} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {18:26} Moreover thou
shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the
children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah,
a tithe of the tithe. {18:27} And your heave-offering shall be reckoned
unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as
the fulness of the winepress. {18:28} Thus ye also shall offer a
heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the
children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah's heave-offering
to Aaron the priest. {18:29} Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every
heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed
part thereof out of it. {18:30} Therefore thou shalt say unto them,
When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto
the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase
of the wine-press. {18:31} And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and
your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in
the tent of meeting. {18:32} And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it,
when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane
the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.



   {19:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {19:2}
This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer
without spot, wherein is no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke.
{19:3} And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall
bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his
face: {19:4} and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his
finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting
seven times. {19:5} And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her
skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
{19:6} and the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. {19:7} Then
the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall
be unclean until the even. {19:8} And he that burneth her shall wash
his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be
unclean until the even. {19:9} And a man that is clean shall gather up
the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean
place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of
Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin-offering. {19:10} And he
that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for
ever.

   {19:11} He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
seven days: {19:12} the same shall purify himself therewith on the
third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify
not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
{19:13} Whosoever toucheth a dead person, the body of a man that hath
died, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah;
and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for
impurity was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his
uncleanness is yet upon him.

   {19:14} This is the law when a man dieth in a tent: every one that
cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the tent, shall be
unclean seven days. {19:15} And every open vessel, which hath no
covering bound upon it, is unclean. {19:16} And whosoever in the open
field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a
bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. {19:17} And for
the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the
sin-offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
{19:18} and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water,
and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the
persons that were there, and upon him that touched the bone, or the
slain, or the dead, or the grave: {19:19} and the clean person shall
sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and
on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

   {19:20} But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify
himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly,
because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water for
impurity hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. {19:21} And
it shall be a perpetual statute unto them: and he that sprinkleth the
water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the
water for impurity shall be unclean until even. {19:22} And whatsoever
the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that
toucheth it shall be unclean until even.



   {20:1} And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came
into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in
Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. {20:2} And there
was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves
together against Moses and against Aaron. {20:3} And the people strove
with Moses, and spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren
died before Jehovah! {20:4} And why have ye brought the assembly of
Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our
beasts? {20:5} And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt,
to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of
figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to
drink. {20:6} And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the
assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their
faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them. {20:7} And Jehovah
spake unto Moses, saying, {20:8} Take the rod, and assemble the
congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock
before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring
forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the
congregation and their cattle drink. {20:9} And Moses took the rod from
before Jehovah, as he commanded him.

   {20:10} And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before
the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring
you forth water out of this rock? {20:11} And Moses lifted up his hand,
and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly,
and the congregation drank, and their cattle. {20:12} And Jehovah said
unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in
the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this
assembly into the land which I have given them. {20:13} These are the
waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah,
and he was sanctified in them.

   {20:14} And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom,
Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath
befallen us: {20:15} how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt
in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our
fathers: {20:16} and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice,
and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we
are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. {20:17} Let us
pass, I pray thee, through thy land: we will not pass through field or
through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we
will go along the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right
hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. {20:18} And Edom
said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the
sword against thee. {20:19} And the children of Israel said unto him,
We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my
cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without
[doing] anything [else], pass through on my feet. {20:20} And he said,
Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out against him with much
people, and with a strong hand. {20:21} Thus Edom refused to give
Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from
him.

   {20:22} And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel,
even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor. {20:23} And Jehovah
spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of
Edom, saying, {20:24} Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he
shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of
Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
{20:25} Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount
Hor; {20:26} and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar
his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die
there. {20:27} And Moses did as Jehovah commanded: and they went up
into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. {20:28} And Moses
stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and
Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came
down from the mount. {20:29} And when all the congregation saw that
Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of
Israel.



   {21:1} And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South,
heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought
against Israel, and took some of them captive. {21:2} And Israel vowed
a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people
into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. {21:3} And
Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the
name of the place was called Hormah.

   {21:4} And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea,
to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much
discouraged because of the way. {21:5} And the people spake against
God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to
die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water;
and our soul loatheth this light bread. {21:6} And Jehovah sent fiery
serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of
Israel died. {21:7} And the people came to Moses, and said, We have
sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray
unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed
for the people. {21:8} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery
serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that
every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. {21:9} And
Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it
came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto
the serpent of brass, he lived.

   {21:10} And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
{21:11} And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in
the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. {21:12} From
thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered. {21:13}
From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the
Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the
Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the
Amorites. {21:14} Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of
Jehovah,
Vaheb in Suphah,
And the valleys of the Arnon,
{21:15} And the slope of the valleys
That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar,
And leaneth upon the border of Moab.

   {21:16} And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer: that is the well
whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will
give them water.

   {21:17} Then sang Israel this song:
Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
{21:18} The well, which the princes digged,
Which the nobles of the people delved,
With the sceptre, [and] with their staves.

   And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah; {21:19} and
from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; {21:20} and
from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of
Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.

   {21:21} And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
saying, {21:22} Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside
into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the
wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed thy
border. {21:23} And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his
border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out
against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought
against Israel. {21:24} And Israel smote him with the edge of the
sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even unto
the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was
strong. {21:25} And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in
all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns
thereof. {21:26} For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the
Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all
his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon. {21:27} Wherefore they
that speak in proverbs say,
Come ye to Heshbon;
Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
{21:28} For a fire is gone out of Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon:
It hath devoured Ar of Moab,
The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
{21:29} Woe to thee, Moab!
Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:
He hath given his sons as fugitives,
And his daughters into captivity,
Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
{21:30} We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon,
And we have laid waste even unto Nophah,
Which [reacheth] unto Medeba.

   {21:31} Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. {21:32} And
Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns thereof, and drove
out the Amorites that were there.

   {21:33} And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the
king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle
at Edrei. {21:34} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have
delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou
shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who
dwelt at Heshbon. {21:35} So they smote him, and his sons and all his
people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his
land.



   {22:1} And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the
plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.

   {22:2} And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
the Amorites. {22:3} And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because
they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of
Israel. {22:4} And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now will this
multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the
grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at
that time. {22:5} And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor,
to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his
people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from
Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over
against me. {22:6} Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this
people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail,
that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for
I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest
is cursed.

   {22:7} And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with
the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and
spake unto him the words of Balak. {22:8} And he said unto them, Lodge
here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Jehovah shall
speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. {22:9} And
God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? {22:10}
And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath
sent unto me, [saying], {22:11} Behold, the people that is come out of
Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them;
peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive
them out. {22:12} And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with
them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed. {22:13}
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak,
Get you into your land; for Jehovah refuseth to give me leave to go
with you. {22:14} And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto
Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

   {22:15} And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable
than they. {22:16} And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith
Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from
coming unto me: {22:17} for I will promote thee unto very great honor,
and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore, I pray
thee, curse me this people. {22:18} And Balaam answered and said unto
the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver
and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or
more. {22:19} Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night,
that I may know what Jehovah will speak unto me more. {22:20} And God
came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men are come to
call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto
thee, that shalt thou do.

   {22:21} And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
went with the princes of Moab. {22:22} And God's anger was kindled
because he went; and the angel of Jehovah placed himself in the way for
an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two
servants were with him. {22:23} And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah
standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass
turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote
the ass, to turn her into the way. {22:24} Then the angel of Jehovah
stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this
side, and a wall on that side. {22:25} And the ass saw the angel of
Jehovah, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's
foot against the wall: and he smote her again. {22:26} And the angel of
Jehovah went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to
turn either to the right hand or to the left. {22:27} And the ass saw
the angel of Jehovah, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger
was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff. {22:28} And Jehovah
opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done
unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? {22:29} And
Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me, I would there
were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed thee. {22:30} And the ass
said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all
thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he
said, Nay.

   {22:31} Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel
of Jehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and
he bowed his head, and fell on his face. {22:32} And the angel of
Jehovah said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these
three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way
is perverse before me: {22:33} and the ass saw me, and turned aside
before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me,
surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive. {22:34} And
Balaam said unto the angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not
that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it
displease thee, I will get me back again. {22:35} And the angel of
Jehovah said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I
shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the
princes of Balak.

   {22:36} And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to
meet him unto the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon,
which is in the utmost part of the border. {22:37} And Balak said unto
Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore
camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
{22:38} And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now
any power at all to speak anything? the word that God putteth in my
mouth, that shall I speak. {22:39} And Balaam went with Balak, and they
came unto Kiriath-huzoth. {22:40} And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep,
and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

   {22:41} And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam,
and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from thence
the utmost part of the people.



   {23:1} And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. {23:2} And Balak did as
Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a
bullock and a ram. {23:3} And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy
burnt-offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet
me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a
bare height. {23:4} And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have
prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on
every altar. {23:5} And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,
Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. {23:6} And he returned
unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all
the princes of Moab. {23:7} And he took up his parable, and said, From
Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the
East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy Israel. {23:8} How shall I
curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah
hath not defied? {23:9} For from the top of the rocks I see him, And
from the hills I behold him:
   Lo, it is a people that dwelleth alone, And shall not be reckoned
among the nations. {23:10} Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number
the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And
let my last end be like his! {23:11} And Balak said unto Balaam, What
hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold,
thou hast blessed them altogether. {23:12} And he answered and said,
Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?

   {23:13} And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto
another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the
utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from
thence. {23:14} And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on
every altar. {23:15} And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy
burnt-offering, while I meet [Jehovah] yonder. {23:16} And Jehovah met
Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and
thus shalt thou speak. {23:17} And he came to him, and, lo, he was
standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And
Balak said unto him, What hath Jehovah spoken? {23:18} And he took up
his parable, and said,
Rise up, Balak, and hear;
Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
{23:19} God is not a man, that he should lie,
Neither the son of man, that he should repent:
Hath he said, and will he not do it?
Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?
{23:20} Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless:
And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
{23:21} He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob;
Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel:
Jehovah his God is with him,
And the shout of a king is among them.
{23:22} God bringeth them forth out of Egypt;
He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
{23:23} Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;
Neither is there any divination with Israel:
Now shalt it be said of Jacob and of Israel,
What hath God wrought!
{23:24} Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness,
And as a lion doth he lift himself up:
He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,
And drink the blood of the slain.

   {23:25} And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
bless them at all. {23:26} But Balaam answered and said unto Balak,
Told not I thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh, that I must do?
{23:27} And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto
another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse
me them from thence. {23:28} And Balak took Balaam unto the top of
Peor, that looketh down upon the desert. {23:29} And Balaam said unto
Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks
and seven rams. {23:30} And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered
up a bullock and a ram on every altar.



   {24:1} And when Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel,
he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he
set his face toward the wilderness. {24:2} And Balaam lifted up his
eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the
Spirit of God came upon him. {24:3} And he took up his parable, and
said,
Balaam the son of Beor saith,
And the man whose eye was closed saith;
{24:4} He saith, who heareth the words of God,
Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, and having his eyes open:
{24:5} How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,
Thy tabernacles, O Israel!
{24:6} As valleys are they spread forth,
As gardens by the river-side,
As lign-aloes which Jehovah hath planted,
As cedar-trees beside the waters.
{24:7} Water shall flow from his buckets,
And his seed shall be in many waters,
And his king shall be higher than Agag,
And his kingdom shall be exalted.
{24:8} God bringeth him forth out of Egypt;
He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox:
He shall eat up the nations his adversaries,
And shall break their bones in pieces,
And smite [them] through with his arrows.
{24:9} He couched, he lay down as a lion,
And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
Blessed be every one that blesseth thee,
And cursed be every one that curseth thee.

   {24:10} And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote
his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse
mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these
three times. {24:11} Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to
promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back
from honor. {24:12} And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy
messengers that thou sentest unto me, saying, {24:13} If Balak would
give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word
of Jehovah, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what Jehovah
speaketh, that will I speak? {24:14} And now, behold, I go unto my
people: come, [and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to
thy people in the latter days. {24:15} And he took up his parable, and
said,
Balaam the son of Beor saith,
And the man whose eye was closed saith;
{24:16} He saith, who heareth the words of God,
And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High,
Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, and having his eyes open:
{24:17} I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not nigh:
There shall come forth a star out of Jacob,
And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
And shall smite through the corners of Moab,
And break down all the sons of tumult.
{24:18} And Edom shall be a possession,
Seir also shall be a possession, [who were] his enemies;
While Israel doeth valiantly.
{24:19} And out of Jacob shall one have dominion,
And shall destroy the remnant from the city.

   {24:20} And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,
Amalek was the first of the nations;
But his latter end shall come to destruction.

   {24:21} And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and
said,
Strong is thy dwelling-place,
And thy nest is set in the rock.
{24:22} Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted,
Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

   {24:23} And he took up his parable, and said,
Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?
{24:24} But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim,
And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber;
And he also shall come to destruction.

   {24:25} And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and
Balak also went his way.



   {25:1} And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the
harlot with the daughters of Moab: {25:2} for they called the people
unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed
down to their gods. {25:3} And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor:
and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. {25:4} And Jehovah
said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up
unto Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn
away from Israel. {25:5} And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay
ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.

   {25:6} And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the
sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they
were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. {25:7} And when
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he
rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his
hand; {25:8} and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and
thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. {25:9}
And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.

   {25:10} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {25:11} Phinehas, the
son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away
from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy
among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my
jealousy. {25:12} Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of
peace: {25:13} and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the
covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his
God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

   {25:14} Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was
slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince
of a fathers' house among the Simeonites. {25:15} And the name of the
Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was
head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.

   {25:16} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {25:17} Vex the
Midianites, and smite them; {25:18} for they vex you with their wiles,
wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the
matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister,
who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.



   {26:1} And it came to pass after the plague, that Jehovah spake unto
Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, {26:2} Take
the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty
years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all that are able to go
forth to war in Israel. {26:3} And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake
with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
{26:4} [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward;
as Jehovah commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth
out of the land of Egypt.

Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the

These are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of the congregation,
who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah,
when they strove against Jehovah, {26:10} and the earth opened its
mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company
died; what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they
became a sign. {26:11} Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah died not.

land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of
names. {26:54} To the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to
the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one according
to those that were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given.
{26:55} Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot: according to
the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. {26:56}
According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the
more and the fewer.

   {26:57} And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after

{26:58} These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the

was born to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and
Miriam their sister. {26:60} And unto Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu,

offered strange fire before Jehovah. {26:62} And they that were
numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male from a
month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of
Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children
of Israel.

   {26:63} These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
the Jordan at Jericho. {26:64} But among these there was not a man of
them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the
children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. {26:65} For Jehovah had
said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was
not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the
son of Nun.



   {27:1} Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of
Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of
the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of
his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. {27:2}
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before
the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of
meeting, saying, {27:3} Our father died in the wilderness, and he was
not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against
Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had
no sons. {27:4} Why should the name of our father be taken away from
among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession
among the brethren of our father. {27:5} And Moses brought their cause
before Jehovah.

   {27:6} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {27:7} The daughters of
Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an
inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the
inheritance of their father to pass unto them. {27:8} And thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no
son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
{27:9} And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his brethren. {27:10} And if he have no brethren, then ye shall
give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. {27:11} And if his
father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and
it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as
Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {27:12} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain
of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of
Israel. {27:13} And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered; {27:14} because ye
rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the
congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These
are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) {27:15}
And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying, {27:16} Let Jehovah, the God of
the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, {27:17}
who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who
may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of
Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd. {27:18} And Jehovah
said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the
Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him; {27:19} and set him before Eleazar
the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in
their sight. {27:20} And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that
all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey. {27:21} And he
shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the
judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and
at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel
with him, even all the congregation. {27:22} And Moses did as Jehovah
commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the
priest, and before all the congregation: {27:23} and he laid his hands
upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.



   {28:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {28:2} Command the
children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my
offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to
offer unto me in their due season. {28:3} And thou shalt say unto them,
This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah:
he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual
burnt-offering. {28:4} The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning,
and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; {28:5} and the tenth part
of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth
part of a hin of beaten oil. {28:6} It is a continual burnt-offering,
which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made
by fire unto Jehovah. {28:7} And the drink-offering thereof shall be
the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou
pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto Jehovah. {28:8} And the
other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal-offering of the
morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

   {28:9} And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without
blemish, and two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a
meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof:
{28:10} this is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the
continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {28:11} And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a
burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {28:12} and three tenth parts [of
an ephah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each
bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled
with oil, for the one ram; {28:13} and a tenth part of fine flour
mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a
burnt-offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
{28:14} And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a
bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part
of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt-offering of every month
throughout the months of the year. {28:15} And one he-goat for a
sin-offering unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual
burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {28:16} And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month,
is Jehovah's passover. {28:17} And on the fifteenth day of this month
shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. {28:18}
In the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work; {28:19} but ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a
burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven
he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish; {28:20}
and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts
shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram; {28:21}
a tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs;
{28:22} and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.
{28:23} Ye shall offer these besides the burnt-offering of the morning,
which is for a continual burnt-offering. {28:24} After this manner ye
shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by
fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the
continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. {28:25} And
on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work.

   {28:26} Also in the day of the first-fruits, when ye offer a new
meal-offering unto Jehovah in your [feast of] weeks, ye shall have a
holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work; {28:27} but ye shall
offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: two young
bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old; {28:28} and their
meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each
bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram, {28:29} a tenth part for
every lamb of the seven lambs; {28:30} one he-goat, to make atonement
for you. {28:31} Besides the continual burnt-offering, and the
meal-offering thereof, ye shall offer them (they shall be unto you
without blemish), and their drink-offerings.



   {29:1} And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye
shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day
of blowing of trumpets unto you. {29:2} And ye shall offer a
burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one young bullock, one
ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:3} and their
meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the
bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, {29:4} and one tenth part for
every lamb of the seven lambs; {29:5} and one he-goat for a
sin-offering, to make atonement for you; {29:6} besides the
burnt-offering of the new moon, and the meal-offering thereof, and the
continual burnt-offering and the meal-offering thereof, and their
drink-offerings, according unto their ordinance, for a sweet savor, an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

   {29:7} And on the tenth day of this seventh month ye shall have a
holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall do no
manner of work; {29:8} but ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah
for a sweet savor: one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year
old; they shall be unto you without blemish; {29:9} and their
meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the
bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram, {29:10} a tenth part for
every lamb of the seven lambs: {29:11} one he-goat for a sin-offering;
besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual
burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and their
drink-offerings.

   {29:12} And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have
a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a
feast unto Jehovah seven days: {29:13} and ye shall offer a
burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto
Jehovah; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year
old; they shall be without blemish; {29:14} and their meal-offering,
fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for every bullock of the
thirteen bullocks, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams,
{29:15} and a tenth part for every lamb of the fourteen lambs; {29:16}
and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual
burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering
thereof.

   {29:17} And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve young
bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;
{29:18} and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number,
after the ordinance; {29:19} and one he-goat for a sin-offering;
besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof,
and their drink-offerings.

   {29:20} And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:21} and their meal-offering
and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; {29:22} and one
he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and
the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {29:23} And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:24} their meal-offering and
their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; {29:25} and one
he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the
meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {29:26} And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:27} and their meal-offering
and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; {29:28} and one
he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, and
the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {29:29} And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:30} and their meal-offering
and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; {29:31} and one
he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the
meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offerings thereof.

   {29:32} And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen
he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:33} and their meal-offering
and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; {29:34} and one
he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the
meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

   {29:35} On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall
do no servile work; {29:36} but ye shall offer a burnt-offering, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one bullock, one
ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; {29:37} their
meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bullock, for the ram,
and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
ordinance: {29:38} and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the
continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and the
drink-offering thereof.

   {29:39} These ye shall offer unto Jehovah in your set feasts,
besides your vows, and your freewill-offerings, for your
burnt-offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your
drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. {29:40} And Moses told
the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses.



   {30:1} And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children
of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded.
{30:2} When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to
bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do
according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. {30:3} Also when a
woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being
in her father's house, in her youth, {30:4} and her father heareth her
vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father
holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. {30:5} But if her father
disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her
bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will
forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

   {30:6} And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon
her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her
soul, {30:7} and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the
day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. {30:8} But if her
husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make
void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips,
wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her. {30:9}
But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] everything
wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. {30:10} And
if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with
an oath, {30:11} and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her,
and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. {30:12} But if her husband
made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatsoever
proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond
of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and
Jehovah will forgive her.

   {30:13} Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. {30:14} But
if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then
he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he
hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that
he heard them. {30:15} But if he shall make them null and void after
that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. {30:16} These
are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his
wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her
father's house.



   {31:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {31:2} Avenge the
children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered
unto thy people. {31:3} And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye
men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to
execute Jehovah's vengeance on Midian. {31:4} Of every tribe a
thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the
war. {31:5} So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a
thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. {31:6} And
Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of
the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. {31:7} And
they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew
every male. {31:8} And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of
their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings
of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. {31:9}
And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their
little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their
goods, they took for a prey. {31:10} And all their cities in the places
wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
{31:11} And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and
of beast. {31:12} And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the
spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of
Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

   {31:13} And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of
the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. {31:14} And
Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of
thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of
the war. {31:15} And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women
alive? {31:16} Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the
counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of
Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah. {31:17}
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him. {31:18} But all the
women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive
for yourselves. {31:19} And encamp ye without the camp seven days:
whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,
purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your
captives. {31:20} And as to every garment, and all that is made of
skin, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, ye
shall purify yourselves.

   {31:21} And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to
the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded
Moses: {31:22} howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the lead, {31:23} everything that may abide the fire, ye
shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless
it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth
not the fire ye shall make to go through the water. {31:24} And ye
shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and
afterward ye shall come into the camp.

   {31:25} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {31:26} Take the sum
of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar
the priest, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the congregation;
{31:27} and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in
war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation. {31:28} And
levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle:
one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and
of the asses, and of the flocks: {31:29} take it of their half, and
give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering. {31:30}
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of
every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the
flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that
keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. {31:31} And Moses and
Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {31:32} Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war
took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand
sheep, {31:33} and threescore and twelve thousand oxen, {31:34} and
threescore and one thousand asses, {31:35} and thirty and two thousand
persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
{31:36} And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to
war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep: {31:37} and Jehovah's tribute of the
sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. {31:38} And the oxen
were thirty and six thousand; of which Jehovah's tribute was threescore
and twelve. {31:39} And the asses were thirty thousand and five
hundred; of which Jehovah's tribute was threescore and one. {31:40} And
the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Jehovah's tribute was thirty
and two persons. {31:41} And Moses gave the tribute, which was
Jehovah's heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded
Moses.

   {31:42} And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided
off from the men that warred {31:43} (now the congregation's half was
three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five
hundred sheep, {31:44} and thirty and six thousand oxen, {31:45} and
thirty thousand and five hundred asses, {31:46} and sixteen thousand
persons), {31:47} even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one
drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto
the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as
Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {31:48} And the officers that were over the thousands of the host,
the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto
Moses; {31:49} and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the
sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not
one man of us. {31:50} And we have brought Jehovah's oblation, what
every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets,
signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls
before Jehovah. {31:51} And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold
of them, even all wrought jewels. {31:52} And all the gold of the
heave-offering that they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains of
thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven
hundred and fifty shekels. {31:53} ([For] the men of war had taken
booty, every man for himself.) {31:54} And Moses and Eleazar the priest
took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought
it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel
before Jehovah.



   {32:1} Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very
great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the
land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; {32:2}
the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto
Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the
congregation, saying, {32:3} Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,
and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, {32:4} the
land which Jehovah smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land
for cattle; and thy servants have cattle. {32:5} And they said, If we
have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants
for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.

   {32:6} And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and to the children
of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?
{32:7} And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel
from going over into the land which Jehovah hath given them? {32:8}
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the
land. {32:9} For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw
the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that
they should not go into the land which Jehovah had given them. {32:10}
And Jehovah's anger was kindled in that day, and he sware, saying,
{32:11} Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
{32:12} save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the
son of Nun; because they have wholly followed Jehovah. {32:13} And
Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to
and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that
had done evil in the sight of Jehovah, was consumed. {32:14} And,
behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful
men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel. {32:15}
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the
wilderness; and ye will destroy all this people.

   {32:16} And they came near unto him, and said, We will build
sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: {32:17}
but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of
Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little
ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of
the land. {32:18} We will not return unto our houses, until the
children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. {32:19}
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and
forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the
Jordan eastward.

   {32:20} And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye
will arm yourselves to go before Jehovah to the war, {32:21} and every
armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he
hath driven out his enemies from before him, {32:22} and the land is
subdued before Jehovah; then afterward ye shall return, and be
guiltless towards Jehovah, and towards Israel; and this land shall be
unto you for a possession before Jehovah. {32:23} But if ye will not do
so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah; and be sure your sin will
find you out. {32:24} Build you cities for your little ones, and folds
for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
{32:25} And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. {32:26} Our
little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there
in the cities of Gilead; {32:27} but thy servants will pass over, every
man that is armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord saith.

   {32:28} So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest,
and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' [houses]
of the tribes of the children of Israel. {32:29} And Moses said unto
them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with
you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before Jehovah,
and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the
land of Gilead for a possession: {32:30} but if they will not pass over
with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of
Canaan. {32:31} And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
answered, saying, As Jehovah hath said unto thy servants, so will we
do. {32:32} We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of
Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance [shall remain] with us
beyond the Jordan.

   {32:33} And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and
to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son
of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with
[their] borders, even the cities of the land round about. {32:34} And
the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, {32:35} and
Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, {32:36} and Beth-nimrah, and
Beth-haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep. {32:37} And the
children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, {32:38}
and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and
they gave other names unto the cities which they builded. {32:39} And
the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it,
and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. {32:40} And Moses gave
Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. {32:41}
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and
called them Havvoth-jair. {32:42} And Nobah went and took Kenath, and
the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.



   {33:1} These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they
went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of
Moses and Aaron. {33:2} And Moses wrote their goings out according to
their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah: and these are their
journeys according to their goings out. {33:3} And they journeyed from
Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on
the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a
high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, {33:4} while the Egyptians
were burying all their first-born, whom Jehovah had smitten among them:
upon their gods also Jehovah executed judgments.

   {33:5} And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and
encamped in Succoth. {33:6} And they journeyed from Succoth, and
encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. {33:7} And
they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pihahiroth, which is
before Baal-zephon: and they encamped before Migdol. {33:8} And they
journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea
into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the
wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. {33:9} And they journeyed
from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of
water, and threescore and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there.
{33:10} And they journeyed from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea.
{33:11} And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sin. {33:12} And they journeyed from the wilderness of
Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. {33:13} And they journeyed from Dophkah,
and encamped in Alush. {33:14} And they journeyed from Alush, and
encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
{33:15} And they journeyed from Rephidim, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sinai. {33:16} And they journeyed from the wilderness of
Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth-hattaavah. {33:17} And they journeyed
from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. {33:18} And they
journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. {33:19} And they
journeyed from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon-perez. {33:20} And they
journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in Libnah. {33:21} And they
journeyed from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. {33:22} And they
journeyed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. {33:23} And they
journeyed from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shepher. {33:24} And
they journeyed from mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. {33:25} And
they journeyed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. {33:26} And
they journeyed from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. {33:27} And they
journeyed from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. {33:28} And they
journeyed from Terah, and encamped in Mithkah. {33:29} And they
journeyed from Mithkah, and encamped in Hashmonah. {33:30} And they
journeyed from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. {33:31} And they
journeyed from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene-jaakan. {33:32} And they
journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped in Hor-haggidgad. {33:33} And
they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. {33:34}
And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. {33:35} And
they journeyed from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion-geber. {33:36} And
they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin
(the same is Kadesh). {33:37} And they journeyed from Kadesh, and
encamped in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

   {33:38} And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the
commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the
children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth
month, on the first day of the month. {33:39} And Aaron was a hundred
and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

   {33:40} And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South
in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

   {33:41} And they journeyed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah.
{33:42} And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon.
{33:43} And they journeyed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. {33:44}
And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped in Iye-abarim, in the
border of Moab. {33:45} And they journeyed from Iyim, and encamped in
Dibon-gad. {33:46} And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in
Almon-diblathaim. {33:47} And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and
encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. {33:48} And they
journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of
Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. {33:49} And they encamped by the Jordan,
from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

   {33:50} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan at Jericho, saying, {33:51} Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of
Canaan, {33:52} then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land
from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy
all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: {33:53}
and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for unto
you have I given the land to possess it. {33:54} And ye shall inherit
the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give
the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less
inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his;
according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit. {33:55} But
if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you,
then shall those that ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes,
and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein
ye dwell. {33:56} And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do
unto them, so will I do unto you.



   {34:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {34:2} Command the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of
Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance,
even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof), {34:3} then
your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the
side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt
Sea eastward; {34:4} and your border shall turn about southward of the
ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof
shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to
Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon; {34:5} and the border shall turn
about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof
shall be at the sea.

   {34:6} And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and
the border [thereof]: this shall be your west border.

   {34:7} And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye
shall mark out for you mount Hor; {34:8} from mount Hor ye shall mark
out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall
be at Zedad; {34:9} and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the
goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north
border.

   {34:10} And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to
Shepham; {34:11} and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah,
on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach
unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; {34:12} and the border
shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the
Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof
round about.

   {34:13} And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is
the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to
give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; {34:14} for the tribe
of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the
tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have
received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their
inheritance: {34:15} the two tribes and the half-tribe have received
their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the
sunrising.

   {34:16} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {34:17} These are the
names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. {34:18} And ye shall
take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
{34:19} And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh. {34:20} And of the tribe of the children of
Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. {34:21} Of the tribe of Benjamin,
Elidad the son of Chislon. {34:22} And of the tribe of the children of
Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. {34:23} Of the children of
Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the
son of Ephod. {34:24} And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a
prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. {34:25} And of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. {34:26} And
of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of
Azzan. {34:27} And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince,
Ahihud the son of Shelomi. {34:28} And of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. {34:29} These are they
whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of
Israel in the land of Canaan.



   {35:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan at Jericho, saying, {35:2} Command the children of Israel, that
they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession
cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall
ye give unto the Levites. {35:3} And the cities shall they have to
dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their
substance, and for all their beasts. {35:4} And the suburbs of the
cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of
the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. {35:5} And ye shall
measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for
the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand
cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in
the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. {35:6} And
the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six
cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee unto:
and besides them ye shall give forty and two cities. {35:7} All the
cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight
cities; them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. {35:8} And concerning
the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of
Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall
take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth
shall give of his cities unto the Levites. {35:9} And Jehovah spake
unto Moses, saying, {35:10} Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
{35:11} then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
you, that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly may flee
thither. {35:12} And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the
avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the
congregation for judgment. {35:13} And the cities which ye shall give
shall be for you six cities of refuge. {35:14} Ye shall give three
cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of
Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. {35:15} For the children of
Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall
these six cities be for refuge; that every one that killeth any person
unwittingly may flee thither. {35:16} But if he smote him with an
instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer
shall surely be put to death. {35:17} And if he smote him with a stone
in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death. {35:18} Or if he smote him with
a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. {35:19} The
avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he
meeteth him, he shall put him to death. {35:20} And if he thrust him of
hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, {35:21} or in
enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him
shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood
shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him.

   {35:22} But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon
him anything without lying in wait, {35:23} or with any stone, whereby
a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died,
and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; {35:24} then the
congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood
according to these ordinances; {35:25} and the congregation shall
deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was
fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest,
who was anointed with the holy oil. {35:26} But if the manslayer shall
at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he
fleeth, {35:27} and the avenger of blood find him without the border of
his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he
shall not be guilty of blood, {35:28} because he should have remained
in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the
death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of
his possession.

   {35:29} And these things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance unto
you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. {35:30} Whoso
killeth any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of
witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he
die. {35:31} Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a
murderer, that is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
{35:32} And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of
refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of
the priest. {35:33} So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are:
for blood, it polluteth the land; and no expiation can be made for the
land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that
shed it. {35:34} And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit,
in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Jehovah, dwell in the midst of
the children of Israel.



   {36:1} And the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the
children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and
before the princes, the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the children
of Israel: {36:2} and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the
land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was
commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
unto his daughters. {36:3} And if they be married to any of the sons of
the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their
inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will
be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong:
so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. {36:4} And
when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their
inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

   {36:5} And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh
right. {36:6} This is the thing which Jehovah doth command concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they
think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall
they be married. {36:7} So shall no inheritance of the children of
Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall
cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. {36:8}
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe
of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the
inheritance of his fathers. {36:9} So shall no inheritance remove from
one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel
shall cleave every one to his own inheritance.

   {36:10} Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad: {36:11} for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and
Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's
brothers' sons. {36:12} They were married into the families of the sons
of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the
tribe of the family of their father.

   {36:13} These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah
commanded by Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
the Jordan at Jericho.
