appointed Moses, so the children of Israel did.

\VS{6}And there came men who were unclean by reason of a dead body, and they were

give concerning you.

\VS{9}And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

reason of a dead body, or on a journey far off, amongst you, or amongst your posterity; he shall then
keep the passover to the Lord,

\VS{11}in the second month, on the fourteenth day; in the evening they shall offer
it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

\VS{12}They shall not leave of it until the morrow, and they shall not break a bone
of it; they shall sacrifice it according to the ordinance of the passover.

\VS{13}And whatever man shall be clean, and is not far off on a journey, and shall
fail to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people, because he has not offered the
gift to the Lord in its season: that man shall bear his iniquity.

\VS{14}And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, and should keep the
passover to the Lord, he shall keep it according to the law of the passover and according to its ordinance:
there shall be one law for you, both for the stranger, and for the native of the land.

of Israel departed; and in whatever place the cloud rested, there the children of Israel encamped.

\VS{18}The children of Israel shall encamp by the command of the Lord, and by the

\VS{9}And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.

\VS{10}And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and
the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.

\VS{11}And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why
have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?

\VS{12}Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that you say to me,
Take them into your bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which you swore to their

Give us flesh, that we may eat.

all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?

gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.

that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them,
they prophesied and ceased.

\VS{26}And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and
the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that
were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.

sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that

and put incense on it, and carry it away quickly into the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath
is gone forth from the presence of the Lord, it has begun to destroy the people.

\VS{47}And Aaron took as Moses spoke to him, and ran amongst the congregation, for
already the plague had begun amongst the people; and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the

against Moses and Aaron.

\VS{3}And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction

\VS{5}And therefore

to them, Hear me, you⌃ disobedient ones; must we bring you water out of this rock?

much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore you⌃ shall not bring this congregation into the land
which I have given them.

\VS{13}This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently
before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.

\VS{17}We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through
the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will
not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.

will go forth to meet you in war.

if I and my cattle drink of your water, I will pay you: but it is no matter of importance, we will go
by the mountain.

away from him.

congregation, came to Mount Or.

all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came
to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.

\VS{24}And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors
of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children

}}} enclosures shall be for their cattle and all their beasts.

\VS{4}And the suburbs of the cities which you⌃ shall give to the Levites, shall be
from the wall of the city and outwards two thousand cubits round about.

\VS{5}And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits,
and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north
side two thousand cubits; and your city shall be in the midst of this, and the suburbs of the cities
{\ADD{as described}}.

\VS{6}And you⌃ shall give the cities to the Levites, the six cities of refuge which
you⌃ shall give for the slayer to flee there, and in addition to these, forty-two cities.

\VS{7}You⌃ shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs.

\VS{8}And as for the cities which you⌃ shall give out of the possession of the children
of Israel, from those
{\ADD{that have}} much
{\ADD{you⌃ shall give}} much, and from those that have less you⌃ shall give less: they shall give of
their cities to the Levites each one according to his inheritance which they shall inherit.

\VS{9}And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

\VS{10}Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You⌃ are to cross
over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.

\VS{11}And you⌃ shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall be to you cities
of refuge for the slayer to flee to, every one who has
\FTNT{§}{{\FR 35:11 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{struck a life.
}}} killed another unintentionally.

\VS{12}And the cities shall be to you places of refuge from
\FTNT{**}{{\FR 35:12 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{him that as kinsman represents the blood.
}}} the avenger of blood, and the slayer shall not die until he stands before the congregation for
judgement.

\VS{13}And the cities which you⌃ shall assign,
{\ADD{even}} the six cities, shall be places of refuge for you.

\VS{14}You⌃ shall assign three cities on the other side of Jordan, and you⌃ shall
assign three cities in the land of Chanaan.

\VS{15}It shall be a place of refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger,
and for him that sojourns amongst you; these cities shall be for a place of refuge, for every one to flee
there who has killed a man unintentionally.

\VS{16}And if he should strike him with an iron instrument, and the man should die,
he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

\VS{17}And if he should strike him with a stone
{\ADD{thrown}} from his hand, whereby a man may die, and he
{\ADD{thus}} die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

\VS{18}And if he should strike him with an instrument of wood from his hand, whereby
he may die, and he
{\ADD{thus}} die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

\VS{19}The avenger of blood himself shall kill the murderer: whenever he shall meet
him he shall kill him.

\VS{20}And if he should thrust him through enmity, or cast any thing upon him from
an ambuscade, and the man should die,

\VS{21}or if he have struck him with his hand through anger, and the man should
die, let the man that struck him be put to death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all
means be put to death: the avenger of blood shall kill the murderer when he meets him.

\VS{22}But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast
\FTNT{††}{{\FR 35:22 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{any vessel

}}} any thing upon him, not from an ambuscade,

{\ADD{strike him}} with any stone, whereby a man may die, unawares, and it should fall upon him, and
he should die, but he was not his enemy, nor sought to hurt him;

according to these judgements.

\VS{25}And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and
the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell
there till the death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.

\VS{26}But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city
whither he fled for refuge,

\VS{27}and the avenger of blood should find him without the bounds of the city of
his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill the slayer, he is not guilty.

\VS{28}For
\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 35:28 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{let him remain.

of the high-priest the slayer shall return to the land of his possession.

your generations in all your dwellings.

}}} on the testimony of witnesses; and one witness shall not testify against a soul that he should
die.

\VS{31}And you⌃ shall not accept ransoms for life from a murderer who is worthy
of death, for he shall be surely put to death.

\VS{32}You⌃ shall not accept a ransom
{\ADD{to excuse}} his fleeing to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until
the death of the high-priest.

\VS{33}So shall you⌃ not pollute with murder the land in which you⌃ dwell; for this
blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood
of him that shed it.

\VS{34}And you⌃ shall not defile the land whereon you⌃ dwell, on which I dwell in
the midst of you; for I am the Lord dwelling in the midst of the children of Israel.



\par }\Chap{36}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir
the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before
Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:

\VS{2}and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance
by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our
brother to his daughters.

\VS{3}And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel;
so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the
inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of
our inheritance.

\VS{4}And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their
inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance,
shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.

\VS{5}And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying,
Thus
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 36:5 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{say.
}}} says the tribe of the children of Joseph.

\VS{6}This
{\ADD{is}} the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them
\FTNT{†}{{\FR 36:6 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{be wives.
}}} marry where they please, only let them marry
{\ADD{men}} of their father's tribe.

\VS{7}So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe
to tribe, for the children of Israel shall
\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 36:7 }{\FL{Gr.
}}{\FT{be cemented. See
Matt. 19:5;
Acts 5:26.
}}} steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.

\VS{8}And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children
Israel,
{\ADD{such}} women shall be married each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may
each inherit the property of his father's tribe.

\VS{9}And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children
of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.

\VS{10}As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.

\VS{11}So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad,
married their cousins;

\VS{12}they were married
{\ADD{to men}} of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to
the tribe of their father's family.

\VS{13}These
{\ADD{are}} the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord commanded by the
hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
