2 Take you 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: you and Aaron shall number them by their
armies.
4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head

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 YHWH had
spoken unto Moses, saying,
49 Only you shall not number the tribe of Levi,
neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
50 But you shall
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 moves
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 comes 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 YHWH commanded
Moses, so did they.
1 And YHWH spoke 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

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 YHWH commanded
Moses.
34 And the children of Israel did according to all that YHWH
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 YHWH spoke 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 YHWH, when they offered strange fire before YHWH, 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
YHWH spoke 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 you shall give the Levites unto Aaron and to his
sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10 And
you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's
office: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to death.
11 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites
from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that opens
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 YHWH.
14 And YHWH spoke
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 shall you number them.
16 And Moses numbered them
according to the word of YHWH, 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
serve 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
comes nigh shall be put to death.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites,
which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of YHWH, throughout
their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two
thousand.
40 And YHWH 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 you shall take the Levites for me (I am YHWH) 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 YHWH 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 YHWH spoke 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 YHWH.
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 You shall even take five shekels apiece by the
poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shall you take them: (the shekel is
twenty gerahs:)
48 And you shall 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 YHWH, as YHWH commanded Moses.
1 And YHWH spoke 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 goes forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons,
and they shall take down the covering veil, 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 showbread 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 basins, 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 pertains 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 YHWH spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,
18 Cut you 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 YHWH spoke 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 shall you 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 you 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, you shall number them after
their families, by the house of their fathers;
30 From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old shall you number them, every one that
enters 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 you 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 enters 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 YHWH 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 enters 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 YHWH.
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 enters 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 YHWH 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 YHWH 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 YHWH commanded Moses.
1 And YHWH spoke unto Moses,
saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp
every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the
dead:
3 Both male and female shall you put out, without the camp shall you 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 YHWH
spoke unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 And YHWH spoke 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 YHWH, 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 has
trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto YHWH, 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 gives the priest, it shall be his.
11 And
YHWH spoke 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 YHWH:
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 YHWH,
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 causes the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by
an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with you, and if you
have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be
you free from this bitter water that causes the curse:
20 But if you have
gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some
man have lain with you beside your husband:
21 Then the priest shall
charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the
woman, YHWH make you a curse and an oath among your people, when YHWH
does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell;
22 And this water that
causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and
your 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
causes the curse: and the water that causes 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 YHWH, 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 has 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 causes 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 goes aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy
comes upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman
before YHWH, 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 YHWH spoke 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 YHWH:
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 razor
come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separates
himself unto YHWH, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair
of his head grow.
6 All the days that he separates himself unto YHWH 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 Elohim is upon his head.
8 All the days of his
separation he is holy unto YHWH.
9 And if any man die very suddenly by
him, and he has 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 YHWH 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH, and shall offer his sin offering, and
his burnt offering:
17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto YHWH, 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 YHWH: 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 has vowed,
and of his offering unto YHWH 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 YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak
unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise you shall bless the children
of Israel, saying unto them,
24 YHWH bless you, and keep you:
25 YHWH make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you:
26 YHWH
lift up his countenance upon you, and give you 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation; and you shall 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 YHWH 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 spoke unto him.
1 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say
unto him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over
against the candlestick.
3 And Aaron did so; he lit the lamps thereof
over against the candlestick, as YHWH 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 YHWH
had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 And YHWH spoke unto
Moses, saying,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
7 And thus shall you 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 shall you take for a sin offering.
9 And you shall
bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall
gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10 And you
shall bring the Levites before YHWH: and the children of Israel shall put
their hands upon the Levites:
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before
YHWH for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the
service of YHWH.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads
of the bullocks: and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, unto YHWH, to make an atonement for the
Levites.
13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them for an offering unto YHWH.
14 Thus shall you
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 you shall 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 YHWH 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 YHWH; 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 YHWH
had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23 And
YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 This is it that belongs 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 shall
you do unto the Levites touching their charge.
1 And YHWH spoke 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, you shall keep it in his appointed season:
according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof,
shall you keep it.
4 And Moses spoke 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
YHWH 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 YHWH in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
8 And Moses said
unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what YHWH will command concerning
you.
9 And YHWH spoke 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 YHWH.
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 neglects to keep the
passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because
he brought not the offering of YHWH 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 YHWH; according to the ordinance of the passover,
and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: you 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 YHWH the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of YHWH 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 YHWH, and journeyed not.
20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of YHWH they abode in their tents, and
according to the commandment of YHWH 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 YHWH they
rested in the tents, and at the commandment of YHWH they journeyed: they
kept the charge of YHWH, at the commandment of YHWH by the hand of
Moses.
1 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Make you two
trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them: that you may
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 you 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 you.
5 When you blow an
alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 When you
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, you shall blow, but you 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 you go to war in your land against the enemy that
oppresses you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be
remembered before YHWH your Elohim, and you 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, you 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 Elohim: I am YHWH your Elohim.
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 YHWH 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 YHWH said, I will give it you: come
you with us, and we will do you good: for YHWH has 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
you; forasmuch as you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and
you may be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if you go with
us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness YHWH shall do unto us, the same
will we do unto you.
33 And they departed from the mount of YHWH three
days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of YHWH went before them in the
three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the
cloud of YHWH 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,
YHWH, and let your enemies be scattered; and let them that hate you flee
before you.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O YHWH, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
1 And when the people complained, it displeased YHWH: and YHWH heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of YHWH 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 YHWH, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah:
because the fire of YHWH burnt among them.
4 And the mixed 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 garlic:
6 But now 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
YHWH was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said
unto YHWH, Wherefore have you afflicted your servant? and wherefore have I
not found favour in your sight, that you layest the burden of all this people
upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that
you should say unto me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father
bears the sucking child, unto the land which you swore 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
you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray you, out of hand, if I have found
favour in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And YHWH
said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you
know 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 you.
17 And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the
spirit which is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the
burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.
18 And
say you unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and you shall
eat flesh: for you have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, Who shall give us
flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore YHWH will give
you flesh, and you shall eat.
19 You 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
you have despised YHWH 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 you have 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 YHWH said unto
Moses, Is YHWH'S hand waxed short? you shall see now whether my word
shall come to pass unto you or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the
people the words of YHWH, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And YHWH came
down in a cloud, and spoke 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 you for my sake? would Elohim
that all YHWH'S people were prophets, and that YHWH 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH
was kindled against the people, and YHWH smote the people with a very
great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:
because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people
journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said,
Has YHWH indeed spoken only by Moses? has he not spoken also by us? And
YHWH heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And YHWH spoke suddenly unto
Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out you three unto the tabernacle
of the congregation. And they three came out.
5 And YHWH 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 YHWH 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 YHWH shall he behold: wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my
servant Moses?
9 And the anger of YHWH 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 you, 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 comes out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried
unto YHWH, saying, Heal her now, O El, I beseech you.
14 And YHWH
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 YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Send
you men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the
children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, every
one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of YHWH 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 dwells 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 you 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 showed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land where you sent
us, and surely it flows 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 eats 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 Elohim that we had died in the land of Egypt!
or would Elohim we had died in this wilderness!
3 And wherefore has YHWH
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 spoke 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 YHWH delight in us, then he will bring us
into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Only rebel not you against YHWH, neither fear you the people of the
land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and YHWH is with us: fear them not.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them
with stones. And the glory of YHWH appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 And YHWH 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 showed among them?
12 I will
smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a
greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moses said unto YHWH, Then
the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might
from among them;)
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land:
for they have heard that you YHWH are among this people, that you YHWH are
seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go
before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by
night.
15 Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the
nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 Because YHWH was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them,
therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech you,
let the power of my YHWH be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 YHWH 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 you, the iniquity of this people according unto the
greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even
until now.
20 And YHWH said, I have pardoned according to your word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of
YHWH.
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 has 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 YHWH spoke 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,
said YHWH, as you 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 you 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 you said
should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you
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 you searched the land, even forty
days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years,
and you shall know my breach of promise.
35 I YHWH 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 YHWH.
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 YHWH has promised: for we have
sinned.
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do you transgress the commandment of
YHWH? but it shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for YHWH is not among
you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and
the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because
you are turned away from YHWH, therefore YHWH will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the
covenant of YHWH, 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 YHWH spoke unto
Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
you be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
3 And
will make an offering by fire unto YHWH, 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 YHWH, of the herd, or of the flock:
4 Then
shall he that offers his offering unto YHWH 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 shall you prepare with the
burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
6 Or for a ram, you shall
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 you shall offer the third
part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto YHWH.
8 And when you
preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a
vow, or peace offerings unto YHWH:
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 you shall bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.
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 you shall prepare, so shall you 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 YHWH.
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 YHWH; as you do, so he shall do.
15 One ordinance shall be
both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourns
with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as you are, so shall the
stranger be before YHWH.
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and
for the stranger that sojourns with you.
17 And YHWH spoke unto Moses,
saying,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you
come into the land where I bring you,
19 Then it shall be, that, when you
eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up an heave offering unto YHWH.
20 You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
offering: as you do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall you heave
it.
21 Of the first of your dough you shall give unto YHWH an heave
offering in your generations.
22 And if you have erred, and not observed all
these commandments, which YHWH has spoken unto Moses,
23 Even all that
YHWH has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH
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 YHWH, 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 YHWH, and their sin offering before YHWH, for their ignorance:
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel,
and the stranger that sojourns 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 sins ignorantly, when he sins by
ignorance before YHWH, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be
forgiven him.
29 You shall have one law for him that sins through
ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourns among them.
30 But the soul that does ought
presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same
reproaches YHWH; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he has despised the word of YHWH, and has 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 YHWH 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 YHWH commanded Moses.
37 And YHWH spoke 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 you may look upon it,
and remember all the commandments of YHWH, and do them; and that you seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a
whoring:
40 That you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy
unto your Elohim.
41 I am YHWH your Elohim, which brought you out of the land
of Egypt, to be your Elohim: I am YHWH your Elohim.
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, You take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy,
every one of them, and YHWH is among them: wherefore then lift you up
yourselves above the congregation of YHWH?
4 And when Moses heard it, he
fell upon his face:
5 And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company,
saying, Even to morrow YHWH will show who are his, and who is holy; and
will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he has 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 YHWH to
morrow: and it shall be that the man whom YHWH does choose, he shall be
holy: you take too much upon you, you sons of Levi.
8 And Moses said unto
Korah, Hear, I pray you, you sons of Levi:
9 Seems it but a small thing
unto you, that the Elohim of Israel has separated you from the congregation of
Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of
YHWH, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10 And
he has brought you near to him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with
you: and seek you the priesthood also?
11 For which cause both you and all
your company are gathered together against YHWH: and what is Aaron, that you
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 you
have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us
in the wilderness, except you make yourself altogether a prince over us?
14 Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and
honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the
eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15 And Moses was very wroth, and
said unto YHWH, Respect not you their offering: I have not taken one ass
from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be
you and all your company before YHWH, you, and they, and Aaron, to
morrow:
17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring
you before YHWH every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you
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 YHWH appeared unto all the
congregation.
20 And YHWH spoke 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 El, the Elohim of
the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all
the congregation?
23 And YHWH spoke 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 spoke unto the
congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men,
and touch nothing of theirs, lest you 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 you shall know that YHWH has 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 YHWH
has not sent me.
30 But if YHWH 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 you shall understand that these men have provoked
YHWH.
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 YHWH, and consumed
the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 And YHWH spoke
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 you 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 YHWH, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a
sign unto the children of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen
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 YHWH; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as
YHWH 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, You have killed the people of YHWH.
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 YHWH appeared.
43 And Moses and Aaron came
before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 And YHWH spoke 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 YHWH; 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 YHWH spoke 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 you every man's
name upon his rod.
3 And you shall 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 you
shall 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 spoke 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 YHWH 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 YHWH unto all the children of Israel: and they
looked, and took every man his rod.
10 And YHWH said unto Moses, Bring
Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the
rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die
not.
11 And Moses did so: as YHWH commanded him, so did he.
12 And the
children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all
perish.
13 Whosoever comes any thing near unto the tabernacle of YHWH
shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
1 And YHWH said unto
Aaron, You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear the
iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you shall bear the
iniquity of your priesthood.
2 And your brethren also of the tribe of Levi,
the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined unto
you, and minister unto you: but you and your sons with you shall minister
before the tabernacle of witness.
3 And they shall keep your 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 you also, die.
4 And they
shall be joined unto you, 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 you 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 YHWH, to do
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Therefore you and your
sons with you shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar,
and within the veil; and you shall serve: I have given your priest's office
unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put
to death.
8 And YHWH spoke unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given you
the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children
of Israel; unto you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your
sons, by an ordinance for ever.
9 This shall be yours 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 you and for
your sons.
10 In the most holy place shall you eat it; every male shall eat
it: it shall be holy unto you.
11 And this is yours; the heave offering of
their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have
given them unto you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a
statute for ever: every one that is clean in your 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 YHWH, them have I
given you.
13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall
bring unto YHWH, shall be yours; every one that is clean in your house
shall eat of it.
14 Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 Every
thing that opens the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto YHWH,
whether it be of men or beasts, shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of
man shall you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shall you
redeem.
16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you
redeem, according to your 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, you shall not
redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and
shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto YHWH.
18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the
right shoulder are yours.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things,
which the children of Israel offer unto YHWH, have I given you, and your
sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of
salt for ever before YHWH unto you and to your seed with you.
20 And
YHWH spoke unto Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land,
neither shall you have any part among them: I am your part and your
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
YHWH, 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
YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say
unto them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have
given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up an heave
offering of it for YHWH, 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 you also
shall offer an heave offering unto YHWH of all your tithes, which you
receive of the children of Israel; and you shall give thereof YHWH'S heave
offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every
heave offering of YHWH, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part
thereof out of it.
30 Therefore you shall say unto them, When you 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 you shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is
your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
32 And
you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it the best of
it: neither shall you pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest
you die.
1 And YHWH spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 This
is the ordinance of the law which YHWH has commanded, saying, Speak unto
the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot,
wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
3 And you 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 burns 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 gathers 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 sojourns among them, for a statute for ever.
11 He
that touches 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 touches the dead body of any man that is
dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of YHWH; 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 dies 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 has no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 And whosoever
touches 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 has defiled the
sanctuary of YHWH: the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon
him; he is unclean.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that
he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that
touches the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 And
whatsoever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that
touches 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 chided
with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would Elohim that we had died when our brethren
died before YHWH!
4 And why have you brought up the congregation of YHWH into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 And
wherefore have you 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 YHWH
appeared unto them.
7 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the
rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and
speak you unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water,
and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give
the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from
before YHWH, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the
congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, you
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 YHWH spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because you believed me not, to sanctify me in
the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you 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 YHWH, and he was
sanctified in them.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king
of Edom, Thus said your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has
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 YHWH, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has
brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the
uttermost of your border:
17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your 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 high way, we will
not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out
against you 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 your water, then I
will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my
feet.
20 And he said, You shall 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 YHWH spoke 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 you 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 YHWH 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 YHWH, and said, If you will indeed deliver this people
into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And YHWH
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 spoke against Elohim, and against Moses,
Wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for
there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this
light bread.
6 And YHWH 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 YHWH, and
against you; pray unto YHWH, that he take away the serpents from us. And
Moses prayed for the people.
8 And YHWH said unto Moses, Make you a
fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every
one that is bitten, when he looks 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 Ijeabarim, 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 comes 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 YHWH, What
he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of
the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies upon the border of
Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof YHWH spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing you 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 looks toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto
Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through your 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 your 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 has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! you are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has 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 reaches 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 YHWH said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have
delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall
do to him as you did 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 licks 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 you, 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 you blessest is blessed, and he whom you 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 spoke unto him the
words of Balak.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will
bring you word again, as YHWH shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab
abode with Balaam.
9 And Elohim came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these
with you?
10 And Balaam said unto Elohim, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, has sent unto me, saying,
11 Behold, there is a people come out of
Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them;
peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12 And
Elohim said unto Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall 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 YHWH refuses to
give me leave to go with you.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they
went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuses 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 said Balak the son of Zippor, Let
nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming unto me:
17 For I will promote
you unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever you say unto me:
come therefore, I pray you, 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 YHWH my Elohim, to do less or
more.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry you also here this night, that I
may know what YHWH will say unto me more.
20 And Elohim came unto Balaam at
night, and said unto him, If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with
them; but yet the word which I shall say unto you, that shall you do.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab.
22 And Elohim's anger was kindled because he went: and the
angel of YHWH 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 YHWH 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 YHWH 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 YHWH, she thrust herself unto
the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of YHWH 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 YHWH, she fell down under Balaam: and
Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 And YHWH opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done
unto you, that you have smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said
unto the ass, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine
hand, for now would I kill you.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I
your ass, upon which you have ridden ever since I was yours unto this day?
was I ever wont to do so unto you? And he said, Nay.
31 Then YHWH
opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of YHWH 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 YHWH said unto him, Wherefore have
you smitten your ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand
you, because your 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 you, and saved her alive.
34 And Balaam said unto the
angel of YHWH, I have sinned; for I knew not that you stood in the way
against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again.
35 And the angel of YHWH said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the
word that I shall speak unto you, that you shall 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 you to call you? wherefore came you not unto me? am I not able
indeed to promote you to honour?
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am
come unto you: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that
Elohim puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balak,
and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
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 your burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure YHWH will come to meet me: and whatsoever he shows me I will tell you. And
he went to an high place.
4 And Elohim 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 YHWH put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus you shall 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 has 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 El has not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom YHWH has 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 have you done unto me? I took you to curse mine enemies, and, behold,
you have blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not
take heed to speak that which YHWH has put in my mouth?
13 And Balak
said unto him, Come, I pray you, with me unto another place, from whence you
may see them: you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall 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
your burnt offering, while I meet YHWH yonder.
16 And YHWH 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 has YHWH
spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, you son of Zippor:
19 El is not a man, that he should
lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he
not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20 Behold, I
have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse
it.
21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen
perverseness in Israel: YHWH his Elohim is with him, and the shout of a king
is among them.
22 El brought them out of Egypt; he has 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 has El 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 you, saying,
All that YHWH speaks, that I must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam,
Come, I pray you, I will bring you unto another place; peradventure it will
please Elohim that you may curse me them from thence.
28 And Balak brought
Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looks 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
YHWH 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 Elohim came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said,
Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:
4 He has said, which heard the words of El, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are
your tents, O Jacob, and your 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
YHWH has 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 El
brought him forth out of Egypt; he has 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 blesses you,
and cursed is he that curses you.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against
Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called
you to curse mine enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them
these three times.
11 Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to
promote you unto great honour; but, lo, YHWH has kept you back from
honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to your messengers
which you sent unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full
of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of YHWH, to do
either good or bad of mine own mind; but what YHWH said, that will I
speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will
advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said,
and the man whose eyes are open has said:
16 He has said, which heard the
words of El, 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 remains 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 your dwellingplace, and
you put your nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted,
until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
23 And he took up his parable,
and said, Alas, who shall live when El does 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 elohim (``gods''): and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their elohim (``gods'').
3 And Israel joined himself
unto Baalpeor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.
4 And
YHWH said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up
before YHWH against the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH may be
turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay you
every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
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 YHWH spoke unto Moses,
saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has
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 Elohim, 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 YHWH spoke 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 YHWH spoke 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
fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
3 And Moses and
Eleazar the priest spoke 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 YHWH 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 comes the family of the Hanochites: of
Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
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 YHWH:
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.

52 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
53 Unto
these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of
names.
54 To many you shall give the more inheritance, and to few you
shall 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:

58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the

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 YHWH.
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 YHWH 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 YHWH 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 has no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among
the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before YHWH.
6 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad
speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among
their father's brethren; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father
to pass unto them.
8 And you shall speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to
pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then you shall give his
inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then you shall
give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
11 And if his father have
no brethren, then you 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 YHWH commanded Moses.
12 And YHWH said unto Moses, Get you up into this mount Abarim, and see
the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when you
have seen it, you also shall be gathered unto your people, as Aaron your
brother was gathered.
14 For you 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 spoke unto YHWH, saying,
16 Let YHWH, the Elohim 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 YHWH be not as sheep
which have no shepherd.
18 And YHWH said unto Moses, Take you Joshua
the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your 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 you shall put some of your
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 YHWH: 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 YHWH
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 YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses.
1 And YHWH
spoke 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 you observe to offer unto me in their due season.
3 And
you shall say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which you shall
offer unto YHWH; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for
a continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shall you offer in the morning,
and the other lamb shall you 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 YHWH.
7 And the drink
offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the
holy place shall you cause the strong wine to be poured unto YHWH for a
drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shall you offer at even: as the meat
offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, you shall offer
it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.
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 you
shall offer a burnt offering unto YHWH; 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
YHWH.
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 YHWH
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 YHWH.
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;
you shall do no manner of servile work therein:
19 But you shall offer a
sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto YHWH; 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 you offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
21 A several tenth deal shall you offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for
you.
23 You shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which
is for a continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner you shall offer
daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto YHWH: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day you shall have an
holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.
26 Also in the day of the
firstfruits, when you bring a new meat offering unto YHWH, after your weeks
be out, you shall have an holy convocation; you shall do no servile work:
27 But you shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto YHWH;
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 You 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, you shall have an holy convocation; you shall do no servile work: it
is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
2 And you shall offer a burnt
offering for a sweet savour unto YHWH; 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 YHWH.
7 And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh
month an holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall not do
any work therein:
8 But you shall offer a burnt offering unto YHWH 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
you shall have an holy convocation; you shall do no servile work, and you shall
keep a feast unto YHWH seven days:
13 And you shall offer a burnt
offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH; 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 you 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 you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work
therein:
36 But you shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire,
of a sweet savour unto YHWH: 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 you shall do unto YHWH 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 YHWH
commanded Moses.
1 And Moses spoke unto the heads of the tribes
concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which YHWH
has commanded.
2 If a man vow a vow unto YHWH, or swear an oath to bind
his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to
all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto YHWH, 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 has bound her
soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she has bound her soul shall stand.
5 But
if her father disallow her in the day that he hears; not any of her vows, or
of her bonds wherewith she has bound her soul, shall stand: and YHWH
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 YHWH 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 has 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 has made them void; and YHWH 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 establishes all her vows, or all her
bonds, which are upon her: he confirms 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 has heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which YHWH 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 YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the
children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shall you be gathered unto
your people.
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of
yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge
YHWH of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes
of Israel, shall you 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 YHWH 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 you saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these
caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit
trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among
the congregation of YHWH.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the
little ones, and kill every woman that has 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 you abide without the camp seven days:
whosoever has killed any person, and whosoever has 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 YHWH 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, you
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 abides not the
fire you shall make go through the water.
24 And you shall wash your clothes
on the seventh day, and you shall be clean, and afterward you shall come into
the camp.
25 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the
prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, you, 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 YHWH 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
YHWH.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, you shall 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 YHWH.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the
priest did as YHWH 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 women 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 YHWH'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore
and fifteen.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which YHWH'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty
thousand and five hundred; of which YHWH'S tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which YHWH'S tribute was
thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was YHWH'S
heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as YHWH 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 YHWH; as YHWH 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, Your servants
have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there
lacks not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for YHWH, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,
rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before YHWH.
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
YHWH, 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 YHWH.
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 spoke 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 YHWH smote before
the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have
cattle:
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in your sight, let
this land be given unto your 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 you sit here?
7 And
wherefore discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from going over
into the land which YHWH has given them?
8 Thus did your fathers, when
I sent them from Kadeshbarnea 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 YHWH had
given them.
10 And YHWH'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 YHWH.
13 And YHWH'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 YHWH, was consumed.
14 And, behold, you are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of YHWH toward Israel.
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the
wilderness; and you 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 you will do this
thing, if you will go armed before YHWH to war,
21 And will go all of you
armed over Jordan before YHWH, until he has driven out his enemies from
before him,
22 And the land be subdued before YHWH: then afterward you
shall return, and be guiltless before YHWH, and before Israel; and this
land shall be your possession before YHWH.
23 But if you will not do so,
behold, you have sinned against YHWH: 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 has proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the children of Gad
and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying, Your 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 your servants will
pass over, every man armed for war, before YHWH to battle, as my lord
said.
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 YHWH, and the land shall be subdued before you; then you 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 YHWH
has said unto your servants, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed
before YHWH 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 Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced
cities: and folds for sheep.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon,
and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (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
Havothjair.
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 YHWH: 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 YHWH had smitten among them: upon their elohim (``gods'') also YHWH 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 Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they
pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, 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
Kibrothhattaavah.
17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped
at Hazeroth.
18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.
20 And they
departed from Rimmonparez, 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 Benejaakan.
32 And they
removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33 And they went from
Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
34 And they removed from Jotbathah,
and encamped at Ebronah.
35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at
Eziongaber.
36 And they removed from Eziongaber, 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 YHWH, 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 Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
45 And
they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
46 And they removed from
Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
47 And they removed from
Almondiblathaim, 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 Bethjesimoth
even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
50 And YHWH spoke unto
Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
51 Speak unto
the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you are passed over Jordan into
the land of Canaan;
52 Then you 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 you shall
dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given
you the land to possess it.
54 And you shall divide the land by lot for an
inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall give the more
inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: every man's
inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the
tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.
55 But if you will not drive out the
inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that
those which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in
your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell.
56 Moreover it
shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
1 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When you 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 Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, 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, you 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 you shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor you 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 Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
10 And you shall point out your east border from Hazarenan 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 you shall inherit by lot, which YHWH
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 YHWH spoke 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 you 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 YHWH
commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of
Canaan.
1 And YHWH spoke 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 you
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 you shall give unto the Levites, shall reach
from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
5 And
you 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 you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for
refuge, which you shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither:
and to them you shall add forty and two cities.
7 So all the cities which you
shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall you give
with their suburbs.
8 And the cities which you shall give shall be of the
possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many you shall give
many; but from them that have few you shall give few: every one shall give of
his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
9 And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When you be come over Jordan into the land of
Canaan;
11 Then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you;
that the slayer may flee thither, which kills 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 you shall give six cities shall you have for
refuge.
14 You shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities
shall you 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
kills 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 meets 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
meets 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, where 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, where
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 kills 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 you 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 you 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 you shall not pollute the land
wherein you are: for blood it defiles 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 you shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I YHWH 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 spoke
before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of
Israel:
2 And they said, YHWH commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by YHWH 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 YHWH, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said
well.
6 This is the thing which YHWH does 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 possesses 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 YHWH commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 For Mahlah,
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 YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses
unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
