1:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the
tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the
second year after their departure from the land of Egypt,
saying,
1:2 Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of
Israel, after their families, according to their fathers'
houses, by the number of the names, every male, according to
their polls;
1:3 from twenty years and upward, all that go forth to military
service in Israel: ye shall number them according to their
hosts, thou and Aaron.
1:4 And with you there shall be a man for every tribe, a man who
is the head of his father's house.
1:5 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with
you: for Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

1:17 And Moses and Aaron took these men who are expressed by
their names,
1:18 and gathered the whole assembly together on the first of
the second month. And they declared their pedigrees after their

wilderness of Sinai.

1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take
the sum of them among the children of Israel.
1:50 But thou, 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 its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the
tabernacle shall they encamp;
1:51 and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall
take it down; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites
shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put
to death.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his
camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their

1:53 but the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of
testimony, that there come not wrath upon the assembly of the
children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of
the tabernacle of testimony.
1:54 And the children of Israel did so; according to all that
Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2:2 The children of Israel shall encamp every one by his

encamp.
2:3 And [for] those encamping eastward toward the sun-rising
[there shall be] the standard of the camp of Judah according to

their hosts. And they shall set forth second.
2:17 And the tent of meeting shall set forth, the camp of the
Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall
they set forth, every man in his place, according to their
standards.
2:18 The standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their

Israel, according to their fathers' houses: all those that were
numbered of the camps, according to their hosts, were six
hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
2:33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of
Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that
Jehovah had commanded Moses: so they encamped according to
their standards, and so they journeyed, every one according to
their families, according to their fathers' houses.
3:1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
3:2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the
firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed
priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered
strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and
they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the
priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
3:5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister unto him;
3:7 and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the
tabernacle.
3:8 And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting,
and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
3:9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons:
they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
3:10 And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may
attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh
near shall be put to death.
3:11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the
children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh
open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites
shall be mine;
3:13 for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the
firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be:
I am Jehovah.
3:14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
saying,
3:15 Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses,

Jehovah, -- as he had been commanded.

thousand two hundred.
3:35 And the prince of the father's house of the families of
Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They encamped on the side
of the tabernacle northward.
3:36 And the charge of the sons of Merari consisted in the
oversight of the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and
its pillars, and its bases, and all its furniture, and all that
belongs to its service,
3:37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases,
and their pegs, and their cords.
3:38 And those who encamped before the tabernacle eastward,
before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses,
and Aaron and his sons, who kept the charge of the sanctuary
for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that
cometh near shall be put to death.
3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their
families, all the males from a month old and upward, were
twenty-two thousand.
3:40 And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the first-born males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take
the number of their names.
3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah)
instead of all the 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.
3:42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the
firstborn among the children of Israel.
3:43 And all the firstborn males, by the number of the names,
from a month old and upward, according to their numbering, were

3:44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
3:45 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 Jehovah.
3:46 And for those that are to be ransomed, the two hundred and
seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which
are in excess over the Levites,
3:47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, according
to the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them, -- twenty
gerahs the shekel;
3:48 and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons
for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
3:49 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over
and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
3:50 of the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the
money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five [shekels],
according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
3:51 And Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to
Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah,
-- as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
4:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
4:2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of
Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,
4:3 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of
meeting.
4:4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent
of meeting: it is most holy.
4:5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall
go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and
cover the ark of testimony with it;
4:6 and shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall
spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves
[to it].
4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of
blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls,
and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread
shall be thereon.
4:8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and
cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its
staves [to it].
4:9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the
candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and
its snuff-trays, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith
they perform its service;
4:10 and they shall put it and all the utensils thereof within a
covering of badgers' skin, and shall put it upon a pole.
4:11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall

4:13 And they shall cleanse the altar of the ashes, and spread a
purple cloth thereon;
4:14 and they shall put upon it all the utensils thereof,
wherewith they perform service about it: the firepans, the
forks, and the shovels, and the bowls, -- all the utensils of
the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers'
skin, and put its staves [to it].
4:15 And when Aaron and his sons have ended covering the
sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp
setteth forward, then afterwards the sons of Kohath shall come
to carry it; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest
they die. This is what the sons of Kohath have to carry in the
tent of meeting.
4:16 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have the
oversight of the oil for the light, and the fragrant incense,
and the continual oblation, and the anointing oil, -- the
oversight of the whole tabernacle, and of all that is therein,
over the sanctuary, and over its furniture.
4:17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
4:18 Ye shall not cut off the families of the Kohathites from
among the Levites,
4:19 but this shall ye do unto them, that they may live, and not
die, when they draw near unto the most holy things: Aaron and
his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service
and to his burden;
4:20 but they shall not go in and see for a moment the holy
things, lest they die.
4:21 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
4:22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, according to
their fathers' houses, after their families.
4:23 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old shalt
thou number them; every one that cometh to labour in the work,
to perform the service in the tent of meeting.
4:24 This shall be the service of the families of the
Gershonites, in serving, and in carrying:
4:25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of badgers'
skin that is above upon it, and the curtain of the entrance to
the tent of meeting,
4:26 and the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the
entrance, of the gate of the court, which surroundeth the
tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof, and all the
instruments of their service; and all that is to be done for
these things shall they perform.
4:27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their carrying,
and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in
charge all their carrying.
4:28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon
in the tent of meeting, and their charge shall be under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29 The sons of Merari: after their families, according to
their fathers' houses shalt thou number them;
4:30 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old
shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the
labour, to perform the service of the tent of meeting.
4:31 And this shall be the charge of their burden, according to
all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the
tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and
bases thereof,
4:32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases,
and their pegs, and their cords, all their instruments,
according to all their service; and by name ye shall number to
them the materials which are their charge to carry.
4:33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service in the tent of meeting, under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the assembly
numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and
according to their fathers' houses,

[in] the work of carrying, in the tent of meeting,
4:48 even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand
five hundred and eighty.
4:49 According to the commandment of Jehovah they were numbered
by Moses, every one for his service, and for his burden, and
numbered by him, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
5:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the
camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and
whosoever is defiled by a dead person:
5:3 both male and female shall ye put out; outside the camp
shall ye put them, that they defile not their camps, in the
midst whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the
camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
5:5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall
commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness
against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,
5:7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and
he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal
thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give
it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
5:8 And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the
priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an
atonement is made for him.
5:9 And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the
children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall
be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any
man giveth the priest shall be his.
5:11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If
any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against
him,
5:13 and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the
eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be
no witness against her, and she have not been caught;
5:14 and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous
of his wife, and she have been defiled, -- or if the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she
have not been defiled,
5:15 -- then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and
he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah
of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a
memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before
Jehovah.
5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel;
and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of
the tabernacle, and put it into the water.
5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and
uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her
hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the
priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse.
5:19 And the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If
no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in
uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be
free from this bitter water that bringeth the curse.
5:20 But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy
husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy
husband have lain with thee,
5:21 -- then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oath of
cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make
thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth
make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell;
5:22 and this water that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy
bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink.
And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and
shall blot them out with the bitter water,
5:24 and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may
enter into her for bitterness.
5:25 And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the
oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before
Jehovah, and shall present it at the altar.
5:26 And the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a
memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he
shall make the woman drink the water.
5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall
come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed
unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that
bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and
her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the
woman shall become a curse among her people.
5:28 But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then
she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.
5:29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to
another instead of her husband and is defiled,
5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is
jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before
Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all this
law.
5:31 Then shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman
shall bear her iniquity.
6:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a
man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to
consecrate themselves to Jehovah;
6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink: he
shall drink no vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink,
neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat grapes,
fresh or dried.
6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is
made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin.
6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no
razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he
hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall
let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6:6 All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he
shall come near no dead body.
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his brother, or for his sister when they die; for
the consecration of his God is upon his head.
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.
6:9 And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath
defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his
head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he
shave it.
6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or
two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance of the tent
of meeting.
6:11 And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the
other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for
that he sinned by the dead person; and he shall hallow his head
that same day.
6:12 And he shall [again] consecrate to Jehovah the days of his
separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a
trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his
consecration hath been defiled.
6:13 And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the
days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to
the entrance of the tent of meeting.
6:14 And he shall present his offering to Jehovah, one yearling
he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one yearling
ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram
without blemish for a peace-offering;
6:15 and a basket with unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour
mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and
their oblation, and their drink-offerings.
6:16 And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall
offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering:
6:17 and he shall offer the ram, a sacrifice of peace-offering
to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest
shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering.
6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration
at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair
of the head of his consecration, and put it on the fire which
is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering.
6:19 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram,
and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened
wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after
he hath shaven [the hair of] his consecration.
6:20 And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before
Jehovah; it is holy for the priest, with the breast of the
wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering; and
afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine.
6:21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his
offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand
is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall
he do, according to the law of his consecration.
6:22 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye
shall bless the children of Israel: saying unto them,
6:24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee;
6:25 Jehovah make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee;
6:26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace.
6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and
I will bless them.
7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had completed the
setting up of the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and hallowed
it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all its
utensils, and had anointed them, and hallowed them,
7:2 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers'
houses, the princes of the tribes, they that were over them
that had been numbered, offered;
7:3 and they brought their offering before Jehovah, six covered
waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon for two princes, and an ox
for each; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
7:4 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
7:5 Take it of them, and they shall be for the performance of
the service of the tent of meeting, and thou shalt give them
unto the Levites, to each according to his service.
7:6 And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to
the Levites.
7:7 Two waggons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon,
according to their service;
7:8 and four waggons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of
Merari, according to their service, -- under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
7:9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the service of
the sanctuary was upon them: they bore [what they carried] upon
the shoulder.
7:10 And the princes presented the dedication-gift of the altar
on the day that it was anointed; and the princes presented
their offering before the altar.

day.

7:89 And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with
Him, then he heard the voice speaking to him from off the
mercy-seat which was upon the ark of testimony, from between
the two cherubim; and he spoke to Him.
8:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
8:2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the
lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick.
8:3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
8:4 And this was the work of the candlestick: [it was] of beaten
gold; from its base to its flowers was it beaten work;
according to the form which Jehovah had shewn Moses, so had he
made the candlestick.
8:5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
8:6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle
upon them water of purification from sin; and they shall pass
the razor over all their flesh, and shall wash their garments,
and make themselves clean.
8:8 And they shall take a young bullock and its oblation of fine
flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou
take for a sin-offering.
8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tent of meeting;
and thou shalt gather together the whole assembly of the
children of Israel.
8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before Jehovah; and the
children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
8:11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before
Jehovah from the children of Israel, and they shall perform the
service of Jehovah.
8:12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the
bullocks, and thou shalt offer the one for a sin-offering, and
the other for a burnt-offering, to Jehovah, to make atonement
for the Levites.
8:13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them as a wave-offering to Jehovah.
8:14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel, that the Levites may be mine.
8:15 And afterwards shall the Levites come in to do the service
of the tent of meeting. And thou shalt cleanse them, and offer
them as a wave-offering.
8:16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children
of Israel; instead of every one that breaketh open the womb,
instead of every firstborn among the children of Israel, have I
taken them unto me.
8:17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are
mine, both of man and beast; on the day that I smote every
firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed them to myself.
8:18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.
8:19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his
sons, from among the children of Israel, to perform the service
of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make
atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague
among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel draw
near to the sanctuary.
8:20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the assembly of the children
of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Jehovah had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of
Israel to them.
8:21 And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they
washed their garments; and Aaron offered them as a
wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them
to cleanse them.
8:22 And afterwards the Levites came in to perform their service
in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as
Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they
to them.
8:23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
8:24 This is that which concerneth the Levites: from twenty-five
years old and upward shall he come to labour in the work of the
service of the tent of meeting.
8:25 And from fifty years old he shall retire from the labour of
the service, and shall serve no more;
8:26 but he shall minister with his brethren in the tent of
meeting, and keep the charge, but he shall not serve [in] the
service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites with regard to
their charges.
9:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the first month of the second year after their departure from
the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set
time;
9:3 on the fourteenth day in this month between the two
evenings, ye shall hold it at its set time; according to all
the rites of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof
shall ye hold it.
9:4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should
hold the passover.
9:5 And they held the passover in the first [month] on the
fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the
wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah had
commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
9:6 And there were men, who were unclean through the dead body
of a man, and could not hold the passover on that day; and they
came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
9:7 And those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the
dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not
present the offering of Jehovah at its set time among the
children of Israel?
9:8 And Moses said to them, Stay, and I will hear what Jehovah
commands concerning you.
9:9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one of
you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body
or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall hold the passover to
Jehovah.
9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two
evenings, shall they hold it; with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs shall they eat it.
9:12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a
bone thereof: according to every ordinance of the passover
shall they hold it.
9:13 But a man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and
forbeareth to hold the passover, that soul shall be cut off
from among his peoples; because he presented not the offering
of Jehovah at its set time: that man shall bear his sin.
9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and would hold
the passover to Jehovah, according to the rite of the passover,
and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do. Ye
shall have one rite, both for the stranger and for him that is
born in the land.
9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud
covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it
was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the
morning.
9:16 So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night
it was as the appearance of fire.
9:17 And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of
Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still,
there the children of Israel encamped.
9:18 According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of
Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah
they [remained] encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt
upon the tabernacle they encamped.
9:19 And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days,
then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and
journeyed not.
9:20 And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the
tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they
encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they
journeyed.
9:21 And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening
until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the
morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the
cloud was taken up, they journeyed;
9:22 or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was
long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of
Israel [remained] encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was
taken up, they journeyed.
9:23 At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the
commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of
Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.
10:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou
make them; and they shall serve for the calling together of the
assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
10:3 And when they shall blow with them, the whole assembly
shall gather to thee at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
10:4 And if they blow with one, then the princes, the heads of
the thousands of Israel, shall gather unto thee.
10:5 And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie eastward
shall set forward.
10:6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that
lie southward shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm on
their setting forward.
10:7 And when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye
shall blow, but ye shall not blow an alarm:
10:8 the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
trumpets; and they shall be to you for an everlasting statute
throughout your generations.
10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye
shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 And in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts,
and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over
your burnt-offerings and over your sacrifices of
peace-offering; and they shall be to you for a memorial before
your God: I am Jehovah your God.
10:11 And it came to pass in the second year, in the second
month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud was taken
up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
10:12 And the children of Israel set forward according to their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stood
still in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey, according to the
commandment of Jehovah through Moses.
10:14 The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set
forward first according to their hosts, and over his host was
Nahshon the son of Amminadab;
10:15 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
was Nethaneel the son of Zuar;
10:16 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
was Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon
and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the tabernacle.
10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to their hosts, and over his host was Elizur the son
of Shedeur;
10:19 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;
10:20 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was
Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites set forward bearing the sanctuary: and
[the others] set up the tabernacle whilst they came.
10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim
set forward according to their hosts, and over his host was
Elishama the son of Ammihud;
10:23 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh
was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;
10:24 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
forward, the rear-guard of all the camps according to their
hosts, and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;
10:26 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
was Pagiel the son of Ocran;
10:27 and over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
was Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28 These were the settings forward of the children of Israel
according to their hosts: so did they set forward.
10:29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite,
Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which
Jehovah said, I will give it unto you: come with us, and we
will do thee good; for Jehovah has spoken good concerning
Israel.
10:30 And he said to him, I will not go; but to mine own land,
and to my kindred will I go.
10:31 And he said, Leave me not, I pray thee, because thou
knowest where we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou wilt
be to us for eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou come with us, that whatever good
Jehovah doeth unto us, so will we do to thee.
10:33 And they set forward from the mountain of Jehovah [and
went] three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of
Jehovah went before them in the three days' journey, to search
out a resting-place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they
set forward out of the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; And
let them that hate thee flee before thy face.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, Jehovah, unto the
myriads of the thousands of Israel.
11:1 And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was
evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his
anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them,
and consumed [some] in the extremity of the camp.
11:2 And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah
-- and the fire abated.
11:3 And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a
fire of Jehovah burned among them.
11:4 And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the
children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us
flesh to eat?
11:5 We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
the garlic;
11:6 and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but
the manna before our eyes.
11:7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as
the appearance of bdellium.
11:8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with
hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and
made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of
oil-cakes.
11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna
fell upon it.
11:10 And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,
every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah
was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.
11:11 And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy
servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that
thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
11:12 Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them
forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the
nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou
didst swear unto their fathers?
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?
for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too
heavy for me.
11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I
have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my
wretchedness.
11:16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of
the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the
people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of
meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will
take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon
them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee,
and thou shalt not bear it alone.
11:18 And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for
to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears
of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was
well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye
shall eat.
11:19 Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days,
neither ten days, nor twenty days;
11:20 [but] for a whole month, until it come out at your
nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye
have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before
him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21 And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six
hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them
flesh that they may eat a whole month.
11:22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice
them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to
suffice them?
11:23 And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become
short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass
unto thee or not.
11:24 And Moses went out and told the people the words of
Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the
people, and set them round about the tent.
11:25 And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and
took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the
seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the
Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat
[it].
11:26 And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one,
Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested
upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they
had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad are prophesying in the camp.
11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of
his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!
11:29 But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would
that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah
would put his Spirit upon them!
11:30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of
Israel.
11:31 And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails
from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's
journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other
side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the
earth.
11:32 And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night,
and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that
gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them
abroad for themselves round about the camp.
11:33 The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was
chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the
people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
11:34 And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah;
because there they buried the people who lusted.
11:35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth;
and they were at Hazeroth.
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite
as wife.
12:2 And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has
he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.
12:3 But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were
upon the face of the earth.
12:4 Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to
Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they
went out, they three.
12:5 And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood
at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and
they both came forth.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I
will speak to him in a dream.
12:7 Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.
12:8 Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in
riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were
ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
12:9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he
went away;
12:10 and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold,
Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and
behold, she was leprous.
12:11 Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee,
lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and
have sinned!
12:12 Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is
consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, O ∙God, heal her, I
beseech thee!
12:14 And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat
in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be
shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be
received in [again].
12:15 And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the
people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].
12:16 And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and
encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
13:2 Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan,
which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man
of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.
13:3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according
to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the
children of Israel.
13:4 And these are their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua
the son of Zaccur;
13:5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
13:6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
13:7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
13:8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
13:9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
13:10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
13:11 for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi
the son of Susi;
13:12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13:13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
13:14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
13:15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search
out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
13:17 And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and
said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the
hill-country,
13:18 and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that
dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
13:19 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is
good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in,
whether in camps, or in strongholds;
13:20 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether
there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of
the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first
grapes.
13:21 And they went up, and searched out the land from the
wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
13:22 And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and
Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there.
Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
13:23 And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down
thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it
between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the
pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the
grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
13:25 And they returned from searching out the land after forty
days.
13:26 And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the
whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of
Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the
whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
13:27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which
thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey;
and this is the fruit of it.
13:28 Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and
the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children
of Anak there.
13:29 Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites,
and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country;
and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the
Jordan.
13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let
us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to
go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
13:32 And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report
of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land,
which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that
eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen
in it are men of great stature;
13:33 and there have we seen giants -- the sons of Anak are of
the giants -- and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so
we were also in their sight.
14:1 And the whole assembly lifted up their voice, and cried;
and the people wept that night.
14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
against Aaron; and the whole assembly said to them, Would that
we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would
that we had died!
14:3 And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may
fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may
become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?
14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and
let us return to Egypt.
14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces before the whole
congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel.
14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
of them that searched out the land, rent their garments.
14:7 And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of
Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it
out, is a very, very good land.
14:8 If Jehovah delight in us, he will bring us into this land,
and give it us, a land that flows with milk and honey;
14:9 only rebel not against Jehovah; and fear not the people of
the land; for they shall be our food. Their defence is departed
from them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.
14:10 And the whole assembly said that they should be stoned
with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of
meeting to all the children of Israel.
14:11 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people
despise me? and how long will they not believe me, for all the
signs which I have done among them?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them,
and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
14:13 And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear
it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the
midst of them;
14:14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land,
[who] have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this
people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye,
and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest
before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of
fire by night;
14:15 if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the
nations that have heard thy fame will speak, saying,
14:16 Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the
land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore slain them
in the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of the Lord be
great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18 Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness,
forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing
[the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children, upon the third and fourth [generation].
14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
according to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, and as thou
hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20 And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word.
14:21 But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled
with the glory of Jehovah!
14:22 for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs,
which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me
these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,
14:23 shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their
fathers: none of them that despised me shall see it.
14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he hath another spirit in
him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land
whereinto he came; and his seed shall possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the
valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the
wilderness, on the way to the Red sea.
14:26 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
14:27 How long [shall I bear] with this evil assembly, which
murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children
of Israel, which they murmur against me.
14:28 Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do
not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!
14:29 In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that
were numbered of you, according to your whole number from
twenty years old and upwards, who have murmured against me,
14:30 shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I
have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the
son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31 But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a
prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that
ye have despised.
14:32 And as to you, your carcases shall fall in this
wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty
years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted
in the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which ye have searched out
the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your
iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement
[from you].
14:35 I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it unto all this
evil assembly which have gathered together against me! in this
wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36 And the men whom Moses had sent to search out the land,
who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against
him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land,
14:37 even those men who had brought up an evil report upon the
land, died by a plague before Jehovah.
14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
lived still of the men that had gone to search out the land.
14:39 And Moses told all these sayings to all the children of
Israel; then the people mourned greatly.
14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the
hill-top, saying, Here are we, and we will go up to the place
of which Jehovah has spoken; for we have sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment
of Jehovah? but it shall not prosper!
14:42 Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not
smitten before your enemies;
14:43 for the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before
you, and ye shall fall by the sword; for as ye have turned away
from Jehovah, Jehovah will not be with you.
14:44 Yet they presumed to go up to the hill-top; but the ark of
the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart from the
midst of the camp.
14:45 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt on that
hill, came down and smote them, and cut them to pieces, as far
as Hormah.
15:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye come into the land of your dwellings, which I give unto you,
15:3 and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a
burnt-offering or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or
as a voluntary offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet
odour to Jehovah, of the herd or of the flock,
15:4 then shall he that presenteth his offering to Jehovah bring
as oblation a tenth part of fine flour mingled with a fourth
part of a hin of oil;
15:5 and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the
fourth part of a hin with the burnt-offering, or with the
sacrifice, for one lamb.
15:6 And for a ram thou shalt offer as oblation two tenth parts
of fine flour mingled with oil, a third part of a hin,
15:7 and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the third
part of a hin; for a sweet odour to Jehovah.
15:8 And when thou offerest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or a
sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or for a peace-offering
to Jehovah,
15:9 then shall they present with the bullock as oblation three
tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil;
15:10 and of wine shalt thou present half a hin, for a
drink-offering, as an offering by fire, of a sweet odour to
Jehovah.
15:11 Thus shall it be done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a
lamb, or for a kid;
15:12 according to the number that ye offer, so shall ye do to
every one according to their number.
15:13 And all that are born in the land shall do these things
thus, in presenting an offering by fire of a sweet odour to
Jehovah.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever be among
you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering by
fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah, -- as ye do, so shall he do.
15:15 As to the congregation, there shall be one statute for
you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an
everlasting statute throughout your generations: as ye are, so
shall the stranger be, before Jehovah.
15:16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the
stranger that sojourneth with you.
15:17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye come into the land whither I bring you,
15:19 then it shall be, when ye eat of the bread of the land,
that ye shall offer a heave-offering to Jehovah;
15:20 the first of your dough shall ye offer, a cake, for a
heave-offering; as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor,
so shall ye offer this.
15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give to Jehovah a
heave-offering throughout your generations.
15:22 And if ye sin inadvertently, and do not all these
commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23 all that Jehovah hath commanded you through Moses, from
the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and henceforward
throughout your generations;
15:24 then it shall be, if ought be committed by inadvertence
[hid] from the eyes of the assembly, that the whole assembly
shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet
odour to Jehovah, and its oblation and its drink-offering
according to the ordinance, and one buck of the goats for a
sin-offering.
15:25 And the priest shall make atonement for the whole assembly
of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for
it was a sin of inadvertence, and they have brought before
Jehovah their offering, as an offering by fire to Jehovah, and
their sin-offering for their [sin of] inadvertence;
15:26 and it shall be forgiven the whole assembly of the
children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among
them; for with all the people there was [a sin of]
inadvertence.
15:27 And if one soul sin through inadvertence, then he shall
present a yearling she-goat for a sin-offering.
15:28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that hath
done inadvertently, when he sinneth by inadvertence before
Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven
him.
15:29 For him that is born in the land among the children of
Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them --
there shall be one law for you, for him who doeth anything
through inadvertence.
15:30 But the soul that doeth ought with a high hand, whether
born in the land, or a stranger, he reproacheth Jehovah; and
that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31 For he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken
his commandment: that soul shall surely be cut off; his
iniquity is upon him.
15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness
they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to
Moses and Aaron, and to the whole assembly.
15:34 And they put him in custody, for it was not declared what
should be done to him.
15:35 And Jehovah said to Moses, The man shall certainly be put
to death: the whole assembly shall stone him with stones
outside the camp.
15:36 And the whole assembly led him outside the camp, and
stoned him with stones, and he died, as Jehovah had commanded
Moses.
15:37 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they
make them tassels on the corners of their garments, throughout
their generations, and that they attach to the tassel of the
corners a lace of blue;
15:39 and it shall be unto you for a tassel, that ye may look
upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do
them; and that ye seek not after [the lusts of] your own heart
and your own eyes, after which ye go a whoring;
15:40 that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be
holy unto your God.
15:41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.
16:1 And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
Levi, made bold, and [with him] Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;
16:2 and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty
men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly,
summoned to the council, men of renown;
16:3 and they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the
assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and
why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?
16:4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
16:5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even
to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy;
and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has
chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.
16:6 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
16:7 and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before
Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah
doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!
16:8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
16:9 Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has
separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to
himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to
stand before the assembly to minister to them?
16:10 -- that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the
sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
16:11 For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together
against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against
him?
16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
16:13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a
land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,
that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?
16:14 Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing
with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not
come up!
16:15 Then Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no
regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them,
neither have I hurt one of them.
16:16 And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before
Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
16:17 And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and
present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and
fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
16:18 And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and
laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent
of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.
16:19 And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the
entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah
appeared to all the assembly.
16:20 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I
will consume them in a moment.
16:22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O ∙God, the God of
the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with the whole assembly?
16:23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the
habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel followed him.
16:26 And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you,
from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of
theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.
16:27 And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and
Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and
stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and
their sons, and their little ones.
16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent
me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
16:29 if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the
visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
16:30 but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its
mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go
down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have
despised Jehovah.
16:31 And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these
words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
16:32 And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and
their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and
all their property.
16:33 And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into
Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among
the congregation.
16:34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at their
cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
16:35 And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the
two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
16:36 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
16:37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take
up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar;
for they are hallowed,
16:38 the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their
life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the
covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah,
therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the
children of Israel.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they
that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates
for a covering of the altar:
16:40 as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger
who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense
before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, -- as
Jehovah had said to him through Moses.
16:41 And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured
on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have
killed the people of Jehovah.
16:42 And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered
together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked
toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it,
and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
16:43 And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
16:44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will
consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
16:46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire
thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it
quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there
is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.
16:47 And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst
of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the
people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the
people.
16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the
plague was stayed.
16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand
seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter
of Korah.
16:50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of
meeting; and the plague was stayed.
17:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a
staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes
according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou
shalt write each one's name upon his staff.
17:3 And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi;
for one staff shall be for [each] head of their fathers'
houses.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before
the testimony, where I meet with you.
17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall
choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease
from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that
they murmur against you.
17:6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their
princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according
to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron
was among their staves.
17:7 And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the
testimony.
17:8 And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the
tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house
of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed
blossoms, and ripened almonds.
17:9 And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to
all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one
his staff.
17:10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again
before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of
rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings
before me, that they may not die.
17:11 And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we
expire, we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of
Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?
18:1 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy
father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the
sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the
iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2 And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy
father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee,
and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee [shall
serve] before the tent of the testimony.
18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of the whole
tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the
sanctuary and to the altar, that they may not die, and you as
well as they.
18:4 And they shall unite with thee, and keep the charge of the
tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no
stranger shall come near to you.
18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the
charge of the altar; that there come no wrath any more upon the
children of Israel.
18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren, the Levites,
from among the children of Israel; to you are they given as a
gift for Jehovah to perform the service of the tent of meeting.
18:7 But thou and thy sons with thee shall attend to your
priesthood for all that concerneth the altar, and for that
which is inside the veil; and ye shall perform the service: I
give you your priesthood as a service of gift, and the stranger
that cometh near shall be put to death.
18:8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given
thee the charge of my heave-offerings, of all the hallowed
things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them,
because of the anointing, and to thy sons by an everlasting
statute.
18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved]
from the fire: every offering of theirs, of all their
oblations, and of all their sin-offerings, and of all their
trespass-offerings, which they render unto me, it is most holy
for thee and for thy sons.
18:10 As most holy shalt thou eat it: every male shall eat it;
it shall be holy unto thee.
18:11 And this shall be thine: the heave-offering of their gift,
with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have
given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with
thee, by an everlasting statute; every one that is clean in thy
house shall eat of it.
18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine,
and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they give to
Jehovah, have I given thee.
18:13 The first ripe of everything that is in their land, which
they shall bring to Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is
clean in thy house shall eat of it.
18:14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be thine.
18:15 Everything that breaketh open the womb of all flesh, which
they present to Jehovah, of men or of beasts, shall be thine;
nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou in any case
ransom, and the firstborn of unclean beasts shalt thou ransom.
18:16 And those that are to be ransomed from a month old shalt
thou ransom, according to thy valuation, for the money of five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty
gerahs.
18:17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep,
or the firstborn of a goat, thou shalt not ransom: they are
holy. Thou shalt sprinkle their blood on the altar, and their
fat shalt thou burn as an offering by fire for a sweet odour to
Jehovah.
18:18 And their flesh shall be thine; as the wave-breast and as
the right shoulder shall it be thine.
18:19 All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the
children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given thee, and to
thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting
statute: it shall be an everlasting covenant of salt before
Jehovah unto thee and thy seed with thee.
18:20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, In their land thou shalt have
no inheritance, neither shalt thou have any portion among them:
I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of
Israel.
18:21 And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the
tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which
they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.
18:22 Neither shall the children of Israel henceforth come near
the tent of meeting, to bear sin and die.
18:23 But the Levite, he shall perform the service of the tent
of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it is an
everlasting statute throughout your generations. And among the
children of Israel shall they possess no inheritance;
18:24 for I have given for an inheritance to the Levites the
tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a
heave-offering to Jehovah; therefore I have said of them, They
shall possess no inheritance among the children of Israel.
18:25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18:26 And to the Levites shalt thou speak, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have
given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer a
heave-offering from it for Jehovah, the tenth of the tithe.
18:27 And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as the
corn from the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the
winepress.
18:28 Thus ye also shall offer Jehovah's heave-offering of all
your tithes, which ye take of the children of Israel; and ye
shall give thereof Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the
priest.
18:29 Out of all that is given you ye shall offer the whole
heave-offering of Jehovah, -- of all the best thereof the
hallowed part thereof.
18:30 And thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best
thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as
produce of the threshing-floor, and as produce of the
winepress.
18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your
households; for it is your reward for your service in the tent
of meeting.
18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, if ye heave from
it the best of it; and ye shall not profane the holy things of
the children of Israel, lest ye die.
19:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
19:2 This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath
commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they
bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect,
and upon which never came yoke;
19:3 and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall
bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before
him.
19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his
finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the
tent of meeting seven times.
19:5 And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and
its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and
scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the
heifer.
19:7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe
his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp;
and the priest shall be unclean until the even;
19:8 and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in
water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until
the even.
19:9 And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and
deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be
kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of
separation: it is a purification for sin.
19:10 And he that hath gathered the ashes of the heifer shall
wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And it shall
be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among them, an everlasting statute.
19:11 He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man,
shall be unclean seven days.
19:12 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.
19:13 Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man
that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the
tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from
Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him:
he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
19:14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one
that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall
be unclean seven days.
19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon
it, shall be unclean.
19:16 And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword
in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or
a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
19:17 And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the
purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put
running water thereon in a vessel;
19:18 and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the
water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils,
and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath
touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the
grave;
19:19 and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the
third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on
the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe
himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
19:20 And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself,
that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation,
for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of
separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean.
19:21 And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he
that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his
garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be
unclean until even.
19:22 And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean;
and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
20:1 And the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into
the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode
at Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
20:2 And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered
themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
20:3 And the people contended with Moses, and spoke, saying,
Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!
20:4 And why have ye brought the congregation of Jehovah into
this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?
20:5 And why have ye made us to go up out of Egypt, to bring us
to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of
vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink.
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from before the congregation to
the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces;
and the glory of Jehovah appeared to them.
20:7 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
20:8 Take the staff, and gather the assembly together, thou, and
Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their
eyes, and it shall give its water; and thou shalt bring forth
to them water out of the rock, and shalt give the assembly and
their beasts drink.
20:9 And Moses took the staff from before Jehovah, as he had
commanded him.
20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together
before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels:
shall we bring forth to you water out of this rock?
20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his staff smote the
rock twice, and much water came out, and the assembly drank,
and their beasts.
20:12 And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Because ye
believed me not, to hallow me before the eyes of the children
of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into
the land that I have given them.
20:13 These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of
Israel contended with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them.
20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom,
Thus says thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trouble that
hath befallen us,
20:15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt
a long time, and the Egyptians evil entreated us and our
fathers;
20:16 and when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent
an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are
at Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy border.
20:17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not
pass through fields, or through vineyards, neither will we
drink water out of the wells: we will go by the king's road; we
will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have
passed thy border.
20:18 But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I
come out against thee with the sword.
20:19 And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the
high way; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then I
will pay for it: I will only, without anything else, go through
on my feet.
20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his
territory; and Israel turned away from him.
20:22 And they removed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel,
the whole assembly, came to mount Hor.
20:23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron in mount Hor, on
the border of the land of Edom, saying,
20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his peoples; for he shall not
enter into the land that I have given unto the children of
Israel, because ye rebelled against my commandment at the
waters of Meribah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto
mount Hor,
20:26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar
his son; and Aaron shall be gathered [to his peoples], and
shall die there.
20:27 And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded, and they went up
mount Hor before the eyes of the whole assembly.
20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them
upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there upon the top of the
mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
20:29 And the whole assembly saw that Aaron was dead, and they
mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] the whole house of
Israel.
21:1 And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south,
heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought
against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
21:2 Then Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou give
this people wholly into my hand, then I will utterly destroy
their cities.
21:3 And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered
up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their
cities. And they called the name of the place Hormah.
21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red
sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people
became impatient on the way;
21:5 and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why
have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the
wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul
loathes this light bread.
21:6 Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which
bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
21:7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in
that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to
Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses
prayed for the people.
21:8 And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and
set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one
that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole;
and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
21:10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in
Oboth.
21:11 And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim,
in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising.
21:12 From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent
Zered.
21:13 From thence they removed, and encamped on the other side
of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the
border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab,
between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14 Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah,
Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon;
21:15 And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling
of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab.
21:16 And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah
spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them
water.
21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto it:
21:18 Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people
hollowed out at [the word of] the lawgiver, with their staves.
And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah;
21:19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to
Bamoth;
21:20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the fields of
Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the
waste.
21:21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites,
saying,
21:22 Let us pass through thy land; we will not turn into the
fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of
the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed
thy border.
21:23 But Sihon would not suffer Israel to go through his
border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against
Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought
against Israel.
21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took
possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto
the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon
was strong.
21:25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all
the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its
dependent villages.
21:26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the
Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab,
and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the
Arnon.
21:27 Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of
Sihon be built and established.
21:28 For there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the
city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high
places of the Arnon.
21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He
gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into
captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
21:30 And we have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto
Dibon; and we have laid [them] waste even unto Nophah, which
reacheth unto Medeba.
21:31 And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its
dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that were
there.
21:33 And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og
the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his
people, for battle to Edrei.
21:34 And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand
have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou
shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the
Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
21:35 And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, so
that they left him none remaining, and took possession of his
land.
22:1 And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the
plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho.
22:2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
the Amorites.
22:3 And Moab was much afraid of the people, because they were
many; and Moab was distressed because of the children of
Israel.
22:4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this
company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up
the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was
king of Moab at that time.
22:5 And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to
Pethor, which is on the river in the land of the children of
his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out
from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the land, and they
abide over against me.
22:6 And now come, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they
are mightier than I: perhaps I may be able to smite them, and
drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou
blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed,
having the rewards of divination in their hand. And they came
to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
22:8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will
bring you word again, according as Jehovah shall speak unto me.
And the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
22:9 And God came to Balaam, and said, Who are these men with
thee?
22:10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, hath sent unto me,
22:11 Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and it covers the
face of the land. Now come, curse me them: perhaps I may be
able to fight against them, and drive them out.
22:12 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou
shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.
22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes
of Balak, Go into your land; for Jehovah refuses to give me
leave to go with you.
22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up; and they went to Balak,
and said, Balaam has refused to come with us.
22:15 Then sent Balak yet again princes, more, and more
honourable than they.
22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak
the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be
restrained from coming to me;
22:17 for very highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou
shalt say to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse
me this people.
22:18 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If
Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go
beyond the commandment of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.
22:19 And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, and I
shall know what Jehovah will say to me further.
22:20 Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the
men have come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but
only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do.
22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass,
and went with the princes of Moab.
22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel
of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was
riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him.
22:23 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah 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.
22:24 And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the
vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
22:25 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed
herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the
wall; and he smote her again.
22:26 Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in
a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right
hand or to the left.
22:27 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under
Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass
with his staff.
22:28 And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to
Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me
these three times?
22:29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I
would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee!
22:30 And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which
thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever
wont to do so to thee? And he said, No.
22:31 Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the
Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in
his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face.
22:32 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou
smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came
forth to withstand thee, for the way [thou walkest in] is for
ruin before me.
22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times;
had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and
saved her alive.
22:34 And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned;
for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and
now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again.
22:35 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men,
but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou
speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet
him, to the city of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon,
which is at the extremity of the border.
22:37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee
to call thee? why didst thou not come to me? am I not surely
able to honour thee?
22:38 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall
I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in
my mouth, that shall I speak.
22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to
Kirjath-huzoth.
22:40 And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to
Balaam and to the princes that were with him.
22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam,
and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from
thence the extremity of the people.
23:1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam
offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
23:3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and
I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever
he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill.
23:4 And God met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have
disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram
upon [each] altar.
23:5 And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return
to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
23:6 And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his
burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of
Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east:
Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!
23:8 How shall I curse whom ∙God hath not cursed? or how shall I
denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?
23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills
I behold him: Lo, [it is] a people that shall dwell alone and
shall not be reckoned among the nations.
23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the
fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the
righteous, and let my end be like his!
23:11 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I
took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed
them altogether.
23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak
that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?
23:13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to
another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see
only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and
curse me them from thence.
23:14 And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of
Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a
ram on [each] altar.
23:15 And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy
burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.
23:16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
23:17 And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his
burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak
said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
23:18 Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and
hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!
23:19 ∙God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of
man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall
he speak and not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath
blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of
a king is in his midst.
23:22 ∙God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
strength of a buffalo.
23:23 For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is
there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be
said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath ∙God wrought!
23:24 Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself
up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the
prey and drunk the blood of the slain.
23:25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
bless them at all.
23:26 And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell
thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?
23:27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of
God that thou curse me them from thence.
23:28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks
over the surface of the waste.
23:29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock
and a ram on each altar.
24:1 And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to
bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for
enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling [in
tents] according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon
him.
24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
24:4 He saith, who heareth the words of ∙God, who seeth the
vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes
open:
24:5 How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles,
Israel!
24:6 Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the
river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like
cedars beside the waters.
24:7 Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be
in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and
his kingdom shall be exalted.
24:8 ∙God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his
enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite
[them] in pieces.
24:9 He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness:
who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and
cursed is he that curseth thee.
24:10 Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he
smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called
thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether
blessed [them] these three times!
24:11 And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly
honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from
honour.
24:12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy
messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
24:13 If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I
could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or
bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak?
24:14 And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish
thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.
24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
24:16 He saith, who heareth the words of ∙God, who knoweth the
knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the
Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:
24:17 I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not
nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall
rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of
Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, --
they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly.
24:19 And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy
out of the city what remaineth.
24:20 And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,
Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be
for destruction.
24:21 And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;
24:22 But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive.
24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live
when ∙God doeth this?
24:24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and
afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for
destruction.
24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place;
and Balak also went his way.
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit
fornication with the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their
gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of
Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
25:4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the
people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the
fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his
men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
25:6 And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and
brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of
Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children
of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of
meeting.
25:7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a
javelin in his hand,
25:8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber,
and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the
woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the
children of Israel.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty-four
thousand.
25:10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that
he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed
not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of
peace!
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant
of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his
God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was
slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu,
the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's
house in Midian.
25:16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
25:17 Harass the Midianites, and smite them,
25:18 for they have harassed 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, who
was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of
Peor.
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that Jehovah spoke to
Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of
Israel, from twenty years old and upward, according to their
fathers' houses, all that go forth to military service in
Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
26:4 From twenty years old and upward ...; as Jehovah had
commanded Moses and the children of Israel, who went forth out
of the land of Egypt.
26:5 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: the children of Reuben:
[of] Enoch, the family of the Enochites; of Pallu, the family
of the Palluites;

26:7 These are the families of the Reubenites; and they that
were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred
and thirty.
26:8 And the sons of Pallu: Eliab;
26:9 and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.
This is that Dathan and Abiram, summoned of the assembly, who
contended against Moses and against Aaron in the band of Korah,
when they contended against Jehovah.
26:10 And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up
together with Korah, when that band died, when the fire
devoured the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign.
26:11 But the children of Korah died not.
26:12 The sons of Simeon, after their families: of Nemuel, the
family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the

26:34 -- These are the families of Manasseh; and those that were

26:51 These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six
hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.
26:52 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
26:53 Unto these shall the land be divided for an inheritance
according to the number of the names;
26:54 to the many thou shalt increase their inheritance, and to
the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance; to every one
shall his inheritance be given according to those that were
numbered of him.
26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot;
according to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall
they inherit;
26:56 according to lot shall his inheritance be divided to each,
be they many or few in number.
26:57 And these are the numbered of the Levites, after their
families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath,
the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the
Merarites.
26:58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the
Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the
Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the
Korahites. -- And Kohath begot Amram.
26:59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of
Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram
Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
26:60 And to Aaron were born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they presented strange fire
before Jehovah.
26:62 And those that were numbered of the [Levites] were
twenty-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.
26:63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of
Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
26:64 But among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and
Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai.
26:65 For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the
wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of
Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and
these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,
and before the princes and the whole assembly, at the entrance
of the tent of meeting, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in
the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no
sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his
family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among
the brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
27:6 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely
give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's
brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father
to pass unto them.
27:8 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying,
If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his
inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance
unto his brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance
unto his father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his
inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his
family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the
children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded
Moses.
27:12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up into this mount
Abarim, and see the land that I have given unto the children of
Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered,
27:14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of
Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in
the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water
of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
27:15 And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
27:16 Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a
man over the assembly,
27:17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before
them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in,
that the assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no
shepherd.
27:18 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a
man in whom is the Spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon
him;
27:19 and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and
before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before
their eyes.
27:20 And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that the
whole assembly of the children of Israel may obey him.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall
inquire for him, by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at
his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in,
he, and all the children of Israel with him, even the whole
assembly.
27:22 And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took
Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the
whole assembly.
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him commandment,
as Jehovah had said through Moses.
28:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My
offering, my bread for my offerings by fire of sweet odour to
me, shall ye take heed to present to me at their set time.
28:3 And say unto them, This is the offering by fire which ye
shall present to Jehovah: two yearling lambs without blemish,
day by day, as a continual burnt-offering.
28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other
lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings;
28:5 and a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for an oblation,
mingled with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin:
28:6 [it is] the continual burnt-offering which was ordained on
mount Sinai for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
28:7 And the drink-offering thereof shall be a fourth part of a
hin for one lamb; in the sanctuary shall the drink-offering of
strong drink be poured out to Jehovah.
28:8 And the second lamb thou shalt offer between the two
evenings; [with the] like oblation as that of the morning, and
the like drink-offering, shalt thou offer it as an offering by
fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah.
28:9 And on the sabbath day two yearling lambs without blemish,
and two tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with
oil, and the drink-offering thereof:
28:10 it is the burnt-offering of the sabbath, for each sabbath
besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering.
28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall present a
burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram,
seven yearling lambs without blemish.
28:12 And three tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation,
mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth parts of fine
flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, for the ram;
28:13 and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil as an
oblation for each lamb: [it is] a burnt-offering of a sweet
odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
28:14 And their drink-offerings: half a hin of wine for a
bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the
fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the monthly
burnt-offering for each month throughout the months of the
year.
28:15 And a buck of the goats shall be offered, for a
sin-offering to Jehovah, besides the continual burnt-offering,
and its drink-offering.
28:16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the
month, is the passover to Jehovah.
28:17 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; seven
days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
28:18 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: no manner of
servile work shall ye do;
28:19 and ye shall present an offering by fire, a burnt-offering
to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven yearling
lambs; they shall be unto you without blemish;
28:20 and their oblation shall be of fine flour mingled with
oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two
tenth parts for the ram;
28:21 one tenth part shalt thou offer for each lamb, of the
seven lambs;
28:22 and a he-goat as a sin-offering, to make atonement for
you.
28:23 Besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a
continual burnt-offering, shall ye offer this.
28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, seven days, the
bread of the offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah; it
shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and its
drink-offering.
28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation;
no manner of servile work shall ye do.
28:26 And on the day of the first-fruits, when ye present a new
oblation to Jehovah, after your weeks, ye shall have a holy
convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
28:27 And ye shall present a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to
Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven yearling lambs;
28:28 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three
tenth parts for one bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,
28:29 one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs;
28:30 [and] one buck of the goats, to make atonement for you.
28:31 Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt-offering,
and its oblation (without blemish shall they be unto you), and
their drink-offerings.
29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye
shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall
ye do; a day of blowing the trumpets shall it be unto you.
29:2 And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to
Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs
without blemish;
29:3 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three
tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,
29:4 and one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs;
29:5 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, to make
atonement for you,
29:6 -- besides the monthly burnt-offering and its oblation, and
the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their
drink-offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet
odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
29:7 And on the tenth of this seventh month ye shall have a holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; no manner of work
shall ye do.
29:8 And ye shall present a burnt-offering to Jehovah for a
sweet odour: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs
(without blemish shall they be unto you);
29:9 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three
tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,
29:10 one tenth part for each lamb, of the seven lambs;
29:11 [and] one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, -- besides
the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering
and its oblation, and their drink-offerings.
29:12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall
have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do;
and ye shall celebrate a feast to Jehovah seven days;
29:13 and ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire
for a sweet odour to Jehovah: thirteen young bullocks, two
rams, fourteen yearling lambs (they shall be without blemish);
29:14 and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil: three
tenth parts for each bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two
tenth parts for each ram of the two rams,
29:15 and one tenth part for each lamb of the fourteen lambs;
29:16 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, -- besides
the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its
drink-offering.
29:17 And on the second day, [ye shall present] twelve young
bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish;
29:18 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number,
according to the ordinance;
29:19 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, -- besides
the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their
drink-offerings.
29:20 And on the third day, eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:21 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number,
according to the ordinance;
29:22 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the
continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its
drink-offering.
29:23 And on the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:24 their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to
the ordinance;
29:25 and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, -- besides
the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its
drink-offering.
29:26 And on the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:27 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number,
according to the ordinance;
29:28 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the
continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its
drink-offering.
29:29 And on the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:30 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number,
according to the ordinance;
29:31 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the
continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offerings.
29:32 And on the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:33 and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the
bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number,
according to their ordinance;
29:34 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the
continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering.
29:35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: no
manner of servile work shall ye do.
29:36 And ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire
of a sweet odour to Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven
yearling lambs without blemish;
29:37 their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullock,
for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to
the ordinance;
29:38 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the
continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its
drink-offering.
29:39 These shall ye offer to Jehovah in your set feasts,
besides your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, for your
burnt-offerings, and for your oblations, and for your
drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings.
29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all
that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30:1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children
of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his
soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all
that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a
bond, in her father's house in her youth,
30:4 and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she
hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her,
then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she
hath bound her soul shall stand.
30:5 But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard,
none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her
soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her
father prohibited her.
30:6 And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her
or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her
soul,
30:7 and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day
that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth
it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed
her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall
pardon her.
30:9 But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, --
everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand
against her.
30:10 And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have
bound her soul by an oath with a bond,
30:11 and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and
hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day
that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of
her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand:
her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
30:14 And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to
day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds
which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been
silent at her in the day that he heard them.
30:15 But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them,
then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses,
between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter,
in her youth in her father's house.
31:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites;
afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
31:3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you
men for military service, that they go against Midian to
execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
31:5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a
thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe,
them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war,
and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.
31:7 And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded
Moses, and slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others
slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings
of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took the women of Midian
captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their
cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;
31:10 and all their cities in their settlements and all their
encampments they burned with fire.
31:11 And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and
of cattle;
31:12 and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to
the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the
prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which
are by the Jordan of Jericho.
31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of
the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with
the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came
from the service of the war;
31:15 and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
31:16 Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the
children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter
of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
31:17 And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay
every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
31:18 but all the children among the women that have not known
lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath
killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall
purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you
and your captives.
31:20 And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work
of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
31:21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had
gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which
Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the
tin, and the lead,
31:23 everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it
go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be
purified with the water of separation; and everything that
cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the
water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye
shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
31:25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of
cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of
the assembly;
31:27 and divide the prey into halves, between them that
conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole
assembly.
31:28 And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of
war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the
persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small
cattle.
31:29 Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar
the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one
portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses,
and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou
shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the
tabernacle of Jehovah.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had
commanded Moses.
31:32 And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war
had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
31:33 and seventy-two thousand oxen,
31:34 and sixty-one thousand asses,
31:35 and of human persons, of the women that had not known
lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
31:36 And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the
war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five
hundred sheep,
31:37 and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred
and seventy-five;
31:38 and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute
thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
31:39 and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the
tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
31:40 and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the
tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to
Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had
divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
31:43 (now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep,
three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
31:44 and thirty-six thousand oxen,
31:45 and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
31:46 and sixteen thousand human persons,)
31:47 ... of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one
portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the
Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as
Jehovah had commanded Moses.
31:48 And the officers who were over the thousands of the host,
the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near
to Moses,
31:49 and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of
the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one
man of us lacking.
31:50 So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one
hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before
Jehovah.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,
all manner of wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered
to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of
hundreds.
31:53 (The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the
tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel
before Jehovah.
32:1 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much
cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of
Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a
place for cattle.
32:2 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and
spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes
of the assembly, saying,
32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon,
and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;
32:5 and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let
this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us
not over the Jordan.
32:6 And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children
of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall *ye* abide
here?
32:7 And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going
over into the land that Jehovah has given them?
32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea
to see the land:
32:9 they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and
discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go
into the land that Jehovah had given them.
32:10 And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he
swore, saying,
32:11 If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years
old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me;
32:12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua
the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah.
32:13 And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he
made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole
generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of
Jehovah.
32:14 And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a
progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of
Jehovah toward Israel.
32:15 If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave
them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
32:16 And they drew near to him, and said, We will build
sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
32:17 but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the
children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place;
and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of
the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of
Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the
Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on
this side the Jordan eastward.
32:20 And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm
yourselves before Jehovah for war,
32:21 and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before
Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before
him,
32:22 and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye
return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel,
and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.
32:23 But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against
Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.
32:24 Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds
for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke
to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts
shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
32:27 but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war,
before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.
32:28 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.
32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one
armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued
before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a
possession;
32:30 but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall
have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will
we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of
Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the
Jordan shall be ours.
32:33 And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son
of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the
kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its
cities and territories, the cities of the land round about.
32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and
Aroer,
32:35 and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah,
32:36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and
sheepfolds.
32:37 -- And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh,
and Kirjathaim,
32:38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed),
and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they
built.
32:39 -- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to
Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that
were therein.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and
he dwelt therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets,
and called them Havoth-Jair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent
villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.
33:1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went
forth out of the land of Egypt according to their armies under
the hand of Moses and Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their
journeys by the commandment of Jehovah; and these are their
journeys according to their goings out.
33:3 They journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the
fifteenth day of the first month. On the morrow after the
passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in
the sight of all the Egyptians.
33:4 And the Egyptians buried those whom Jehovah had smitten
among them, all the firstborn; and upon their gods Jehovah
executed judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and
encamped in Succoth.
33:6 And they removed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, which
is at the end of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned back to
Pi-hahiroth, which is opposite Baal-Zephon, and encamped before
Migdol.
33:8 And they removed from before Hahiroth, and passed through
the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'
journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came to Elim; and in Elim
were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm-trees, and they
encamped there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sin.
33:12 And they removed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped
in Dophkah.
33:13 And they removed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
33:14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim,
where there was no water for the people to drink.
33:15 And they removed from Rephidim, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sinai.
33:16 And they removed from the wilderness of Sinai, and
encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah.
33:17 And they removed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at

33:18 And they removed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah.
33:19 And they removed from Rithmah, and encamped at

33:20 And they removed from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in

33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah.
33:22 And they removed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah.
33:23 And they removed from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount

33:29 And they removed from Mithcah, and encamped in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they removed from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth.
33:31 And they removed from Moseroth, and encamped in
Bene-Jaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Bene-Jaakan, and encamped at
Hor-hagidgad.
33:33 And they removed from Hor-hagidgad, and encamped in
Jotbathah.
33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Abronah.
33:35 And they removed from Abronah, and encamped at
Ezion-geber.
33:36 And they removed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the
wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor,
in the border of the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up mount Hor by the commandment
of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the
children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth
month, on the first of the month.
33:39 And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he
died on mount Hor.
33:40 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the south
in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of
Israel.
33:41 And they removed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah.
33:42 And they removed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon.
33:43 And they removed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth.
33:44 And they removed from Oboth, and encamped in Ijim-Abarim,
in the border of Moab.
33:45 And they removed from Ijim, and encamped in Dibon-Gad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibon-Gad, and encamped in

33:47 And they removed from Almon-Diblathaim, and encamped in
the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48 And they removed from the mountains of Abarim, and
encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho.
33:49 And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth unto
Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab.
33:50 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan of Jericho, saying,
33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
33:52 then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land
from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images,
and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their
high places shall ye lay waste;
33:53 and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell
therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an
inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye
shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt
diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there
shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of
your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance.
33:55 But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land
from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be
thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall
harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.
33:56 And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I
thought to do unto them.
34:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall
fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to
the borders thereof.
34:3 Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin
alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the
end of the salt sea eastward;
34:4 and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to
Azmon.
34:5 And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of
Egypt, and shall end at the sea.
34:6 And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and [its]
coast. This shall be your west border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye
shall mark out for you mount Hor;
34:8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath,
and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad;
34:9 and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at
Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
34:10 And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from
Hazar-enan to Shepham:
34:11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on
the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall
strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
34:12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end
at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the
borders thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This
is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance
by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and
to the half tribe.
34:14 For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according
to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the
Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and
half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
34:15 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their
inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward
the sun-rising.
34:16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
34:17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land
unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the
land.
34:19 And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of
Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
34:20 and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the
son of Ammihud;
34:21 for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
34:22 and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki
the son of Jogli;
34:23 for the children of Joseph: for the tribe of the children
of Manasseh, a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod,
34:24 and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince,
Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
34:25 and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince,
Elizaphan the son of Pharnach;
34:26 and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince,
Phaltiel the son of Azzan;
34:27 and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince,
Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
34:28 and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince,
Phedahel the son of Ammihud.
34:29 These are they whom Jehovah commanded to distribute to the
children of Israel their inheritance in the land of Canaan.
35:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan of Jericho, saying,
35:2 Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of
their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in;
and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto
the Levites.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their
suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for
all their beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the
Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand
cubits round about.
35:5 And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two
thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and
the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two
thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall
have this as suburbs of the cities.
35:6 And [among] the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites
[shall be] the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for
the manslayer, that he may flee thither, -- and besides them ye
shall give forty-two cities:
35:7 all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be
forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the
possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much
ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall
take little; each one according to his inheritance which he
will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites.
35:9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
35:11 then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of
refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee
thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally.
35:12 And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the
avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before
the assembly in judgment.
35:13 And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of
refuge for you.
35:14 Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and
three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be
cities of refuge.
35:15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for
the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge,
that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee
thither.
35:16 And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so
that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be
put to death.
35:17 And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand,
wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall certainly be put to death.
35:18 Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in
the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer:
the murderer shall certainly be put to death;
35:19 the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death;
when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
35:20 And if he thrust at him out of hatred, or hurl at him
intentionally, so that he die,
35:21 or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he
that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a
murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death,
when he meeteth him. --
35:22 But if he have thrust at him suddenly without enmity, or
have cast upon him anything unintentionally,
35:23 or [have smitten him] with any stone wherewith one may
die, without seeing him, and have cast it upon him so that he
die, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
35:24 then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the
avenger of blood according to these judgments;
35:25 and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the
hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore
him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he
shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was
anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the
limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled,
35:27 and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of
his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the
manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him;
35:28 for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his
refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death
of the high-priest he may return into the land of his
possession.
35:29 And this shall be unto you a statute of right throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30 Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of
witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness
shall not testify against a person to cause him to die.
35:31 And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a
murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put
to death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled
to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell
in the land, until the death of the priest.
35:33 And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for
blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement
made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34 And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the
midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst
of the children of Israel.
36:1 And the chief fathers of families of the sons 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:
36:2 and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land
for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my
lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of
Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
36:3 Now 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
added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall
belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come,
then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the
tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall
be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath
said well.
36:6 This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they
please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father,
36:7 that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from
tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall
keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the
tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of
the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of
Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers,
36:9 and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to
another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel
shall keep to his inheritance.
36:10 Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters
of Zelophehad;
36:11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons.
36:12 To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance
remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
36:13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which
Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in
the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
