[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness
of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second
month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying,
[2] Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their
names, every male by their polls;
[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 armies.
[4] And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of
the house of his fathers.
[5] And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the
tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur.

[16] These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes
of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
[17] And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by their
names:
[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
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, by their polls.
[19] As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness
of Sinai.
[20] And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their
generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to

that were able to go forth to war;
[33] Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim,
were forty thousand and five hundred.
[34] Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their
families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,

fathers.
[45] So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by
the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were
able to go forth to war in Israel;
[46] Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and
three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
[47] But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered
among them.
[48] For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
[49] Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum
of them among the children of Israel:
[50] But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of
testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to
it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall
minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
[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.
[52] And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by
his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
[53] But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of
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 testimony.
[54] And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so did they.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,
[2] Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard,
with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the
congregation shall they pitch.
[3] And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the
son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
[4] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore
and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
[5] And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of
Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of
Issachar.
[6] And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and
four thousand and four hundred.
[7] Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be
captain of the children of Zebulun.
[8] And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and
seven thousand and four hundred.
[9] All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand
and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their
armies. These shall first set forth.
[10] On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben
according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be
Elizur the son of Shedeur.
[11] And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and
six thousand and five hundred.
[12] And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the
captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
[13] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and
nine thousand and three hundred.
[14] Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be
Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
[15] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and
five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
[16] All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred
thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout
their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
[17] Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the
camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set
forward, every man in his place by their standards.
[18] On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
[19] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty
thousand and five hundred.
[20] And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the
children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
[21] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and
two thousand and two hundred.
[22] Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin
shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
[23] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and
five thousand and four hundred.
[24] All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred
thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they
shall go forward in the third rank.
[25] The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their
armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
[26] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore
and two thousand and seven hundred.
[27] And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the
captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
[28] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and
one thousand and five hundred.
[29] Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of
Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
[30] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and
three thousand and four hundred.
[31] All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred
thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost
with their standards.
[32] These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by
the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps
throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.
[33] But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
[34] And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward,
every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
[1] These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses
in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
[2] And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn,
and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
[4] And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange
fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron
their father.
[5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[6] Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the
priest, that they may minister unto him.
[7] And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
[8] And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
[9] And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are
wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
[10] And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on
their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[12] And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of
Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children
of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
[13] Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in
Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
[15] Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by
their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
[16] And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he
was commanded.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari.
[18] And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families;
Libni, and Shimei.
[19] And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
Hebron, and Uzziel.
[20] And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These
are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
[21] Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the
Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
[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.
[23] The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle
westward.
[24] And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall
be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
[25] And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and
the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
[26] And the hangings of the court, and the curtain 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.
[27] And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of
the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the
Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
[28] In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were
eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
[29] The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
[30] And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the
Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
[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 hanging, and all the service thereof.
[32] And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the
chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of
the sanctuary.
[33] Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the
Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
[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.
[35] And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle
northward.
[36] And under the custody and 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 vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
[37] And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords.
[38] But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even
before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, 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.
[39] All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron
numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the
males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
[40] And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of
their names.
[41] And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of
all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites
instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
[42] And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.
[43] And all the firstborn males by 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.
[44] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[45] Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of
Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites
shall be mine: I am the LORD.
[46] And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and
threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are
more than the Levites;
[47] Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the
shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
[48] And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is
to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
[49] And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and
above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
[50] Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a
thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
[51] And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and
to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,
[2] Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi,
after their families, by the house of their fathers,
[3] From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all
that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
[4] This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of
the congregation, about the most holy things:
[5] And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons,
and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with
it:
[6] And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall
spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
[7] And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue,
and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover
withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
[8] And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the
same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
[9] And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of
the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil
vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
[10] And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering
of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
[11] And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves
thereof:
[12] And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they
minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with
a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
[13] And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon:
[14] And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the
basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering
of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
[15] And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward;
after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch
any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
[16] And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and
the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that
therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
[17] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[18] Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from
among the Levites:
[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:
[20] But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered,
lest they die.
[21] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[22] Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of
their fathers, by their families;
[23] From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou
number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
[24] This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve,
and for burdens:
[25] And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers'
skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation,
[26] And the hangings of the court, and the hanging 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 all that is made for
them: so shall they serve.
[27] At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service
of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service:
and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
[28] This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
[29] As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
families, by the house of their fathers;
[30] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt
thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[31] And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their
service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle,
and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
[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 reckon the instruments of the charge of their
burden.
[33] This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
[34] And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the
sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their
fathers,
[35] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every
one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation:
[36] And those that were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred and fifty.
[37] These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites,
all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses
and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of
Moses.
[38] And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout
their families, and by the house of their fathers,
[39] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every
one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
[40] Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families,
by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
[41] These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation,
whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD.
[42] And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari,
throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
[43] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every
one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
[44] Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were
three thousand and two hundred.
[45] These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the
hand of Moses.
[46] All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron
and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of
their fathers,
[47] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every
one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden
in the tabernacle of the congregation,
[48] Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five
hundred and fourscore.
[49] According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the
hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden:
thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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 defiled by the dead:
[3] Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put
them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
[4] And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the
camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
[5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[6] Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit
any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be
guilty;
[7] Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall
recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth
part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
[8] But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let
the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram
of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
[9] And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
[10] And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man
giveth the priest, it shall be his.
[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[12] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's
wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
[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, neither she be taken with the manner;
[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:
[15] Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall
bring her offering 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 an offering of
jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
[16] And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
[17] And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of
the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put
it into the water:
[18] And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the
woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the
jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that
causeth the curse:
[19] And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman,
If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that
causeth the curse:
[20] But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and
if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
[21] Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and
the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath
among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to
swell;
[22] And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to
make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen,
amen.
[23] And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall
blot them out with the bitter water:
[24] And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth
the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and
become bitter.
[25] Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's
hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
[26] And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the
woman to drink the water.
[27] And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to
pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that
the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and
her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse
among her people.
[28] And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
[29] This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
[30] Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous
over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law.
[31] Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall
bear her iniquity.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either
man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves unto the LORD:
[3] He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink
any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
[4] All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of
the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
[5] All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come
upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself
unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head
grow.
[6] All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come
at no dead body.
[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 the consecration of
his God is upon his head.
[8] All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
[9] And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the
head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his
cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
[10] And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
[11] And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned
by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
[12] And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation,
and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days
that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
[13] And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his
separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation:
[14] And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the
first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first
year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings,
[15] And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with
oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering,
and their drink offerings.
[16] And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
[17] And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto
the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his
meat offering, and his drink offering.
[18] And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of
his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the
peace offerings.
[19] And the priest shall take the sodden 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 Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
[20] And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after
that the Nazarite may drink wine.
[21] This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering
unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get:
according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his
separation.
[22] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[23] Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall
bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
[24] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
[25] The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
[26] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
[27] And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will
bless them.
[1] And it came to pass on the day that Moses had
fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all
the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had
anointed them, and sanctified them;
[2] That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who
were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
[3] And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons,
and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and
they brought them before the tabernacle.
[4] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[5] Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to
every man according to his service.
[6] And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the
Levites.
[7] Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according
to their service:
[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.
[9] But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the
sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
[10] And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that
it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
[11] And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each
prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

[89] And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to
speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the
mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims:
and he spake unto him.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the
seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
[3] And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the
candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[4] And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft
thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern
which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
[5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[6] Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse
them.
[7] And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of
purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash
their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
[8] Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine
flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin
offering.
[9] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of
Israel together:
[10] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children
of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
[11] And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering
of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
[12] And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the
bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
[13] And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
[14] Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of
Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
[15] And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for
an offering.
[16] For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of
Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of
all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
[17] For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man
and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
[18] And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children
of Israel.
[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 tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an 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.
[20] And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses
concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
[21] And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and
Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement
for them to cleanse them.
[22] And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the
tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD
had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[24] This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five
years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
[25] And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the
service thereof, and shall serve no more:
[26] But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the
congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do
unto the Levites touching their charge.
[1] And the LORD 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,
[2] Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed
season.
[3] In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in
his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all
the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
[4] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep
the passover.
[5] And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month
at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the children of Israel.
[6] And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a
man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before
Moses and before Aaron on that day:
[7] And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a
man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD
in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
[8] And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD
will command concerning you.
[9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of
your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey
afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
[11] The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it,
and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
[12] They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of
it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
[13] But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth
to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his
people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed
season, that man shall bear his sin.
[14] And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the
passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and
according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance,
both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
[15] And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered
the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon
the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
[16] So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of
fire by night.
[17] And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after
that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode,
there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
[18] At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed,
and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode
upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
[19] And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then
the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
[20] And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and
according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
[21] And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and
that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was
by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
[22] Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in
their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
[23] At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make
them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps.
[3] And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[4] And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are
heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
[5] When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts
shall go forward.
[6] When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on
the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
[7] But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow,
but ye shall not sound an alarm.
[8] And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets;
and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
[9] And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth
you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered
before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
[10] Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in
the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt
offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to
you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
[11] And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in
the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the
testimony.
[12] And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
[13] And they first took their journey according to the commandment of
the LORD by the hand of Moses.
[14] In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of
Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of
Amminadab.
[15] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
[16] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab
the son of Helon.
[17] And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the
sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
[18] And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to
their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
[19] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
[20] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph
the son of Deuel.
[21] And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
[22] And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
[23] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
[24] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
[25] And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward,
which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his
host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
[26] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel
the son of Ocran.
[27] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
Ahira the son of Enan.
[28] Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to
their armies, when they set forward.
[29] And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will
give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath
spoken good concerning Israel.
[30] And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own
land, and to my kindred.
[31] And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest
how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of
eyes.
[32] And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what
goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
[33] And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey:
and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days'
journey, to search out a resting place for them.
[34] And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out
of the camp.
[35] And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said,
Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee
flee before thee.
[36] And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
[1] And when the people complained, it displeased the
LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the
LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of
the camp.
[2] And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the
LORD, the fire was quenched.
[3] And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the
LORD burnt among them.
[4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the
children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[5] We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
[6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this
manna, before our eyes.
[7] And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the
colour of bdellium.
[8] And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills,
or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the
taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
[9] And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell
upon it.
[10] Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every
man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly;
Moses also was displeased.
[11] And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy
servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest
the burden of all this people upon me?
[12] Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the
sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
[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.
[14] I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too
heavy for me.
[15] And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand,
if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
[16] And the LORD 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 tabernacle of the congregation,
that they may stand there with thee.
[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.
[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 the LORD,
saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt:
therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
[19] Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten
days, nor twenty days;
[20] But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it
be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among
you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
[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.
[22] Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them?
or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice
them?
[23] And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou
shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
[24] And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and
gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about
the tabernacle.
[25] And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of
the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came
to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not
cease.
[26] But there remained two of the 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 went not out unto the tabernacle:
and they prophesied in the camp.
[27] And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad do prophesy in the camp.
[28] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young
men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
[29] And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that
all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit
upon them!
[30] And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
[31] And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from
the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this
side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp,
and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
[32] And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all
the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten
homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
[33] And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,
the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the
people with a very great plague.
[34] And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because
there they buried the people that lusted.
[35] And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and
abode at Hazeroth.
[1] And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because
of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
woman.
[2] And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he
not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
[3] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon
the face of the earth.)
[4] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto
Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they
three came out.
[5] And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the
door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
[6] And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I
the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him
in a dream.
[7] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
[8] With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in
dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then
were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
[9] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
[10] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she
was leprous.
[11] And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not
the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
[12] Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when
he cometh out of his mother's womb.
[13] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
beseech thee.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her
face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp
seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
[15] And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
[16] And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Send thou men, that they may search 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 ruler among them.
[3] And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the
wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
[4] And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son
of Zaccur.
[5] Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
[6] Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
[7] Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
[8] Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
[9] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
[10] Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
[11] Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the
son of Susi.
[12] Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
[13] Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
[14] Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
[15] Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
[16] These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the
land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
[17] And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto
them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
[18] And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein,
whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
[19] And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad;
and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong
holds;
[20] And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be
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 firstripe grapes.
[21] So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin
unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
[22] And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven
years before Zoan in Egypt.)
[23] And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a
branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff;
and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
[24] The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of
grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
[25] And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
[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
shewed them the fruit of the land.
[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.
[28] Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the
cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
[29] The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites,
and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites
dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
[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.
[31] But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up
against the people; for they are stronger than we.
[32] And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had
searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have
gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all
the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
[33] And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the
giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight.
[1] And all the congregation lifted up their voice,
and cried; and the people wept that night.
[2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against
Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in
the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
[3] And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by
the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better
for us to return into Egypt?
[4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us
return into Egypt.
[5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of
the congregation of the children of Israel.
[6] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which
were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
[7] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel,
saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good
land.
[8] If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and
give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
[9] Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of
the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and
the LORD is with us: fear them not.
[10] But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory
of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the
children of Israel.
[11] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me?
and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have
shewed among them?
[12] I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and
will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
[13] And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it,
(for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
[14] And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they
have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face
to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before
them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
[15] Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations
which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
[16] Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land
which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
[17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
according as thou hast spoken, saying,
[18] The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity
and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
[19] Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto
the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt
even until now.
[20] And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
[21] But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the
glory of the LORD.
[22] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles,
which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten
times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
[23] Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their
fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
[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.
[25] (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To
morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
[26] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[27] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur
against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they
murmur against me.
[28] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have
spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
[29] Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were
numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and
upward, which have murmured against me,
[30] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware
to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son
of Nun.
[31] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I
bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
[32] But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
[33] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and
bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
[34] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty
years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
[35] I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they
shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
[36] And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and
made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon
the land,
[37] Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land,
died by the plague before the LORD.
[38] But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which
were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
[39] And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and
the people mourned greatly.
[40] And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top
of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which
the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
[41] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of
the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
[42] Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten
before your enemies.
[43] For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye
shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore
the LORD will not be with you.
[44] But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark
of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
[45] Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in
that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
[3] And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering,
or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your
solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the
flock:
[4] Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat
offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of
oil.
[5] And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt
thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
[6] Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals
of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
[7] And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin
of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[8] And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
[9] Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth
deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
[10] And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[11] Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a
lamb, or a kid.
[12] According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to
every one according to their number.
[13] All that are born of the country shall do these things after this
manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[14] And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in
your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
[15] One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also
for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your
generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
[16] One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
[17] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[18] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land whither I bring you,
[19] Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye
shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
[20] Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave
it.
[21] Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave
offering in your generations.
[22] And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,
which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
[23] Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses,
from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your
generations;
[24] Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the
knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young
bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat
offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the
goats for a sin offering.
[25] And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of
the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and
they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and
their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
[26] And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were
in ignorance.
[27] And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she
goat of the first year for a sin offering.
[28] And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement
for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
[29] Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both
for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that
sojourneth among them.
[30] But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in
the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be
cut off from among his people.
[31] Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon
him.
[32] And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found
a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
[33] And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
[34] And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should
be done to him.
[35] And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death:
all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
[36] And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned
him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[37] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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 the borders a ribband of blue:
[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it,
and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
[40] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto
your God.
[41] I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
[1] Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath,
the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of
Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
[2] And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the
congregation, men of renown:
[3] And they gathered 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 the LORD is among them: wherefore
then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
[4] And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
[5] And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to
morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to
come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near
unto him.
[6] This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
[7] And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to
morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be
holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
[8] And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
[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 the LORD, and to stand before the
congregation to minister unto them?
[10] And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons
of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
[11] For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together
against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
[12] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which
said, We will not come up:
[13] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that
floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make
thyself altogether a prince over us?
[14] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with
milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put
out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
[15] And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou
their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of
them.
[16] And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the
LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
[17] And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring
ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou
also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
[18] And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid
incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
with Moses and Aaron.
[19] And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto
all the congregation.
[20] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[21] Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a moment.
[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?
[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[24] Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
[25] And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders
of Israel followed him.
[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.
[27] So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on
every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their
tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
[28] And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to
do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
[29] If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited
after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
[30] But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into
the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
[31] And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these
words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
[32] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
[33] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the
pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the
congregation.
[34] And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
[35] And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two
hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
[36] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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
hallowed.
[38] The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make
them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the
LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children
of Israel.
[39] And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that
were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the
altar:
[40] To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger,
which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD;
that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the
hand of Moses.
[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
the LORD.
[42] And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against
Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the
congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD
appeared.
[43] And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
[44] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[45] Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as
in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
[46] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from
off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and
make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the
plague is begun.
[47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on
incense, and made an atonement for the people.
[48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was
stayed.
[49] Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
[50] And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a
rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to
the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his
rod.
[3] And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod
shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
[4] And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation
before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
[5] And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose,
shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children
of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
[6] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their
princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers'
houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
[7] And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of
witness.
[8] And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the
tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was
budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
[9] And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the
children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
[10] And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the
testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take
away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
[11] And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
[12] And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we
die, we perish, we all perish.
[13] Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD
shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
[1] And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons
and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and
thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
[2] And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father,
bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto
thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of
witness.
[3] And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the
tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the
altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
[4] And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the
tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a
stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
[5] And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the
altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
[6] And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the
children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the
service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[7] Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's
office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I
have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger
that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the
charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of
Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy
sons, by an ordinance for ever.
[9] This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire:
every oblation of theirs, every meat 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.
[10] In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it:
it shall be holy unto thee.
[11] And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with 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, by a statute for ever: every one that
is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
[12] All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the
wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have
I given thee.
[13] And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring
unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat
of it.
[14] Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
[15] Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring
unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the
firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts
shalt thou redeem.
[16] And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou
redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
[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 savour unto the LORD.
[18] And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the
right shoulder are thine.
[19] All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of
Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters
with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the
LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
[20] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in
their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and
thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
[21] And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in
Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[22] Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
[23] But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for
ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have
no inheritance.
[24] But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an
heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore
I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no
inheritance.
[25] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[26] Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the
children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even
a tenth part of the tithe.
[27] And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though
it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
[28] Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all
your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give
thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
[29] Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the
LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
[30] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best
thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of
the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
[31] And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it
is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
[32] And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from
it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of
Israel, lest ye die.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,
[2] This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD 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:
[3] And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her
forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
[4] And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven
times:
[5] And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh,
and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
[6] And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and
cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
[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.
[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.
[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 of separation: it is a
purification for sin.
[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.
[11] He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven
days.
[12] He shall purify himself with it 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.
[13] Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and
purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall
be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon
him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
[14] This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the
tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
[15] And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is
unclean.
[16] And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open
fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven
days.
[17] And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt
heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a
vessel:
[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 a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a
grave:
[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 himself,
and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
[20] But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself,
that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled
the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon
him; he is unclean.
[21] And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that
sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth
the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
[22] And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and
the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
[1] Then came the children of Israel, even the whole
congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode
in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
[2] And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered
themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
[3] And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that
we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
[4] And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
[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.
[6] And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and
the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
[7] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[8] Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron
thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give
forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so
thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
[9] And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
[10] And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the
rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out
of this rock?
[11] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock
twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their
beasts also.
[12] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me
not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall
not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
[13] This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove
with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
[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:
[15] How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a
long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
[16] And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an
angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a
city in the uttermost of thy border:
[17] Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass
through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the
water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the
right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
[18] And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out
against thee with the sword.
[19] And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high
way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will
only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
[20] And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against
him with much people, and with a strong hand.
[21] Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border:
wherefore Israel turned away from him.
[22] And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed
from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast
of the land of Edom, saying,
[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 water of Meribah.
[25] Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
[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.
[27] And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount
Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
[28] And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar
his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar
came down from the mount.
[29] And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned
for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
[1] And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in
the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought
against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
[2] And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
[3] And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the
name of the place Hormah.
[4] And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to
compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged
because of the way.
[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,
neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
[6] And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel died.
[7] Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we
have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he
take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
[8] And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it
upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he
looketh upon it, shall live.
[9] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it
came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent
of brass, he lived.
[10] And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
[11] And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the
wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
[12] From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
[13] From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon,
which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
[14] Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he
did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
[15] And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of
Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
[16] And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the
LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
[17] Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
[18] The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by
the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they
went to Mattanah:
[19] And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
[20] And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to
the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
[21] And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
[22] Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or
into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go
along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
[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 he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
[24] And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his
land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of
the children of Ammon was strong.
[25] And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
[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 Arnon.
[27] Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let
the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
[28] For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of
Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
[29] Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath
given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king
of the Amorites.
[30] We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we
have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
[31] Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
[32] And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages
thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
[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 the battle at
Edrei.
[34] And the LORD 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, which dwelt at Heshbon.
[35] So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there
was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
[1] And the children of Israel set forward, and
pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
[2] And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites.
[3] And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and
Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
[4] And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick
up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field.
And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
[5] He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor,
which is by the river of 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:
[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 wot that he whom thou blessest is
blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
[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.
[8] And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you
word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with
Balaam.
[9] And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
[10] And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab,
hath sent unto me, saying,
[11] Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the
face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to
overcome them, and drive them out.
[12] And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt
not curse the people: for they are blessed.
[13] And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of
Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go
with you.
[14] And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and
said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
[15] And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than
they.
[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:
[17] For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do
whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this
people.
[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
the LORD my God, to do less or more.
[19] Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I
may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
[20] And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men
come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall
say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
[21] And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went
with the princes of Moab.
[22] And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the
LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his
ass, and his two servants were with him.
[23] And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and 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.
[24] But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall
being on this side, and a wall on that side.
[25] And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto
the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
[26] And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow
place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
[27] And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under
Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
[28] And the LORD 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?
[29] And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would
there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
[30] And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou
hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto
thee? And he said, Nay.
[31] Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of
the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed
down his head, and fell flat on his face.
[32] And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou
smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee,
because thy way is perverse before me:
[33] And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless
she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
[34] And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, 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.
[35] And the angel of the LORD 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.
[36] And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him
unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost
coast.
[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 honour?
[38] And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any
power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that
shall I speak.
[39] And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
[40] And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that were with him.
[41] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the
utmost part of the people.
[1] And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven
altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
[2] And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
every altar a bullock and a ram.
[3] And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will
go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I
will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
[4] And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven
altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
[5] And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
[6] And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab.
[7] And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath
brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me
Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
[8] How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom the LORD hath not defied?
[9] For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold
him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the
nations.
[10] Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part
of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like
his!
[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.
[12] And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which
the LORD hath put in my mouth?
[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.
[14] And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah,
and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
[15] And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I
meet the LORD yonder.
[16] And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go
again unto Balak, and say thus.
[17] And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering,
and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD
spoken?
[18] And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
[19] God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that
he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and
shall he not make it good?
[20] Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed;
and I cannot reverse it.
[21] He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king
is among them.
[22] God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of
an unicorn.
[23] Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and
of Israel, What hath God wrought!
[24] Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up
himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and
drink the blood of the slain.
[25] And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless
them at all.
[26] But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying,
All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
[27] And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee
unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me
them from thence.
[28] And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon.
[29] And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare
me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
[30] And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram
on every altar.
[1] And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to
bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he
set his face toward the wilderness.
[2] And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his
tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
[3] And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
[4] He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of
the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
[5] How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
[6] As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's
side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar
trees beside the waters.
[7] He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in
many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be
exalted.
[8] God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their
bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
[9] He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall
stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth
thee.
[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.
[11] Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee
unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
[12] And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
which thou sentest unto me, saying,
[13] If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot
go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own
mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
[14] And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
[15] And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
[16] He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge
of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance,
but having his eyes open:
[17] I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
[18] And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for
his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
[19] Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.
[20] And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,
Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish
for ever.
[21] And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
[22] Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive.
[23] And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God
doeth this!
[24] And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
[25] And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak
also went his way.
[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began
to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
[2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and
the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
[3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel.
[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD
may be turned away from Israel.
[5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor.
[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, who were weeping before the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
[7] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
[8] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both
of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the
plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
[9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
[10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[11] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my
sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
[12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
[13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of
an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel.
[14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain
with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief
house among the Simeonites.
[15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
[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 a prince of
Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
[1] And it came to pass after the plague, that the
LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
[2] Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all that are able
to go to war in Israel.
[3] And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[4] Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the
LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the
land of Egypt.
[5] Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, of
whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the
Palluites:

[8] And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
[9] And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that
Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against
Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the
LORD:
[10] And the earth opened her 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.
[11] Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

they that were numbered of them were forty and five thousand and four hundred.
[51] These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred
thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.
[52] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[53] Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according
to the number of names.
[54] To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt
give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given
according to those that were numbered of him.
[55] Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
[56] According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided
between many and few.
[57] And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their
families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of
the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
[58] These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites,

Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
[59] And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi,
whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses,
and Miriam their sister.
[60] And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[61] And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the
LORD.
[62] And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
thousand, all males 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.
[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 Jordan near Jericho.
[64] But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron
the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai.
[65] For the LORD 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.
[1] Then came 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.
[2] And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying,
[3] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of
Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
[4] Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the
brethren of our father.
[5] And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
[6] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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.
[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.
[9] And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his brethren.
[10] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren.
[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 of judgment,
as the LORD commanded Moses.
[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
[13] And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy
people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
[14] For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that
is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
[15] And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
[16] Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over
the congregation,
[17] Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of
the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
[18] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a
man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
[19] And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
[20] And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
[21] And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel
for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: 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.
[22] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and
set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
[23] And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season.
[3] And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire
which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot
day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
[4] The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb
shalt thou offer at even;
[5] And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
[6] It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
[7] And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin
for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be
poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
[8] And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of
the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[9] And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and
two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof:
[10] This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual
burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[11] And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the
first year without spot;
[12] And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with oil, for one ram;
[13] And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice
made by fire unto the LORD.
[14] And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin
unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of
the year.
[15] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[16] And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD.
[17] And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days
shall unleavened bread be eaten.
[18] In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no
manner of servile work therein:
[19] But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first
year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
[20] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three
tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
[21] A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout
the seven lambs:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
[23] Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning,
which is for a continual burnt offering.
[24] After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it
shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[25] And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work.
[26] Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat
offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
[27] But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
[28] And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
[29] A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
[30] And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
[31] Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his
meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings.
[1] And in the seventh month, on the first day of the
month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a
day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
[2] And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without
blemish:
[3] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
[4] And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
[5] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement
for you:
[6] Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and
the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings,
according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD.
[7] And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:
[8] But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet
savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they
shall be unto you without blemish:
[9] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
[10] A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
[11] One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of
atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and
their drink offerings.
[12] And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the
LORD seven days:
[13] And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen
lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
[14] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to
each ram of the two rams,
[15] And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
[16] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[17] And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two
rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
[18] And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[19] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
[20] And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish;
[21] And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[23] And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish:
[24] Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[25] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[26] And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year without spot:
[27] And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[28] And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[29] And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs
of the first year without blemish:
[30] And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[31] And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[32] And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs
of the first year without blemish:
[33] And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[34] And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[35] On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no
servile work therein:
[36] But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year
without blemish:
[37] Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for
the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner:
[38] And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[39] These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside
your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your
meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
[40] And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses.
[1] And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes
concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD
hath commanded.
[2] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear 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.
[3] If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth;
[4] And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
[5] But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any
of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand:
and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
[6] And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought
out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
[7] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that
he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
[8] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then
he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive
her.
[9] But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith
they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
[10] And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath;
[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.
[12] But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day 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 the LORD shall forgive her.
[13] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband
may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
[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 confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard
them.
[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
[16] These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a
man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth
in her father's house.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt
thou be gathered unto thy people.
[3] And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto
the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
[4] Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
[5] So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand
of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
[6] And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments,
and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
[7] And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males.
[8] And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
[9] And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their
flocks, and all their goods.
[10] And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
[11] And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of
beasts.
[12] And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of
Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
[13] And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
[14] And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the
battle.
[15] And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
[16] Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
[17] Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him.
[18] But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
[19] And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed
any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and
your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
[20] And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all
work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
[21] And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
[22] Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and
the lead,
[23] Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through
the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the
water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through
the water.
[24] And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
[25] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[26] Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
[27] And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war
upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
[28] And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out
to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves,
and of the asses, and of the sheep:
[29] Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD.
[30] And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion
of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of
all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of
the tabernacle of the LORD.
[31] And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
[32] And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
[33] And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
[34] And threescore and one thousand asses,
[35] And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not
known man by lying with him.
[36] And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war,
was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five
hundred sheep:
[37] And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore
and fifteen.
[38] And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
[39] And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
[40] And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute
was thirty and two persons.
[41] And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[42] And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the
men that warred,
[43] (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three
hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
[44] And thirty and six thousand beeves,
[45] And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
[46] And sixteen thousand persons;)
[47] Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of
fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the
charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[48] And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
[49] And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the
men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
[50] We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man
hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and
tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
[51] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels.
[52] And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD,
of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen
thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
[53] (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
[54] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
[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;
[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,
[3] Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh,
and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
[4] Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
[5] Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this
land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
[6] And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
[7] And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
[8] Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see
the land.
[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 the LORD had given them.
[10] And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying,
[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:
[12] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of
Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
[13] And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them
wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done
evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
[14] And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
[15] For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in
the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
[16] And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
[17] But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel,
until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in
the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
[18] We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel
have inherited every man his inheritance.
[19] For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or
forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
[20] And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the LORD to war,
[21] And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he
hath driven out his enemies from before him,
[22] And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall
return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land
shall be your possession before the LORD.
[23] But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out.
[24] Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep;
and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
[25] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
[26] Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall
be there in the cities of Gilead:
[27] But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before
the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
[28] So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
[29] And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children
of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the
LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the
land of Gilead for a possession:
[30] But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
[31] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,
saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
[32] We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan,
that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
[33] And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the 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, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country
round about.
[34] And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
[35] And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
[36] And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for
sheep.
[37] And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim,
[38] And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah:
and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
[39] And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
[40] And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein.
[41] And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof,
and called them Havoth-jair.
[42] And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and
called it Nobah, after his own name.
[1] These are the journeys of the children of Israel,
which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of
Moses and Aaron.
[2] And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings
out.
[3] And they departed 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 an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
[4] For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
[5] And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth.
[6] And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in
the edge of the wilderness.
[7] And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth,
which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
[8] And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the
wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
[9] And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched
there.
[10] And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
[11] And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness
of Sin.
[12] And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and
encamped in Dophkah.
[13] And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
[14] And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no
water for the people to drink.
[15] And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of
Sinai.
[16] And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibroth-hattaavah.
[17] And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
[18] And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
[19] And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
[20] And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
[21] And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
[22] And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
[23] And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
[24] And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
[25] And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
[26] And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
[27] And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
[28] And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
[29] And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
[30] And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
[31] And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
[32] And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
[33] And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
[34] And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
[35] And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
[36] And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which is Kadesh.
[37] And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge
of the land of Edom.
[38] And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of
the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel
were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
[39] And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he
died in mount Hor.
[40] And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land
of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
[41] And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
[42] And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
[43] And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
[44] And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the
border of Moab.
[45] And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
[46] And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
[47] And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
[48] And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
[49] And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto
Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
[50] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying,
[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
[52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before
you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and
quite pluck down all their high places:
[53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell
therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
[54] And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer
ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the
place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall
inherit.
[55] But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in
the land wherein ye dwell.
[56] Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I
thought to do unto them.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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 with the coasts thereof:)
[3] Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by
the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt
sea eastward:
[4] And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim,
and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
[5] And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of
Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
[6] And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for
a border: this shall be your west border.
[7] And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall
point out for you mount Hor:
[8] From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
[9] And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it
shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
[10] And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
[11] And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side
of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea
of Chinnereth eastward:
[12] And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it
shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round
about.
[13] And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the
land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the
nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
[14] For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of
their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of
their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh
have received their inheritance:
[15] The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance
on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[17] These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto
you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
[18] And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
[19] And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
[20] And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
[21] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
[22] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son
of Jogli.
[23] The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children
of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
[24] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan.
[25] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan
the son of Parnach.
[26] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel
the son of Azzan.
[27] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the
son of Shelomi.
[28] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel
the son of Ammihud.
[29] These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance
unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[2] Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of
the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also
unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
[3] And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them
shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
[4] And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round
about.
[5] And ye shall measure from without 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 the
city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
[6] And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there
shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that
he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
[7] So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty
and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
[8] And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the
children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them
that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the
Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
[9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
[11] Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that
the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
[12] And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that
the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
[13] And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have
for refuge.
[14] Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
[15] These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel,
and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that
killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
[16] And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[17] And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[18] Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may
die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[19] The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
[20] But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait,
that he die;
[21] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
[22] But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him
any thing without laying of wait,
[23] Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and
cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
[24] Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments:
[25] And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of
the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of
his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the
high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
[26] But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
[27] And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city
of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be
guilty of blood:
[28] Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the
death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer
shall return into the land of his possession.
[29] So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[30] Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the
mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to
cause him to die.
[31] Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer,
which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
[32] And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city
of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death
of the priest.
[33] So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it
defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed
therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
[34] Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
[1] And the chief fathers of the families 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 chief fathers of the children of Israel:
[2] And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
[3] And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the
children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
[4] And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.
[5] And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of
the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
[6] This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only
to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
[7] So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from
tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
[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 enjoy every man the inheritance of
his fathers.
[9] Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another
tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself
to his own inheritance.
[10] Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad:
[11] For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
[12] And 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.
[13] These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
