And the LORD
spake unto Moses
in the wilderness
of Sinai,
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
on the first day
of the second month,
in the second year
after they
were come
out of the land
of Egypt,
saying,
Take
ye the sum
of all the congregation
of the children
of Israel,
after their families,
by the house
of their fathers,
with the number
of their names,
every male
by their polls;
From twenty years old
and upward,
all that
are able
to go forth
to war in Israel:
thou
and Aaron
shall number them
by their armies.
And with you
there shall be a man
of every tribe;
every one
head of the house
of his fathers.
And these
are the names
of the men
that shall stand
with you:
of the tribe
of Reuben;
Elizur the son
of Shedeur.
Of Simeon;
Shelumiel the son
of Zurishaddai.

And Moses
and Aaron
took
these men which
are expressed
by their names:
And
they assembled all
the congregation
together
on the first day
of the second month,
and they
declared
their pedigrees
after their families,
by the house

As the LORD

These are

of Israel,
being twelve men:
each one

So were all
those that
were numbered
of the children
of Israel,
by the house
of their fathers,
from twenty years old
and upward,
all that
were able
to go forth
to war
in Israel;
Even all
they
that were numbered
were six hundred thousand
and three thousand
and five hundred
and fifty.
But the Levites
after the tribe
of their fathers
were not numbered among them.
For the LORD
had spoken
unto Moses,
saying,
Only thou
shalt not number
the tribe
of Levi,
neither take the sum
of them
among the children
of Israel:
But
thou shalt appoint
the Levites
over the tabernacle
of testimony,
and
over all the vessels
thereof,
and
over all
things that
belong to it:
they shall bear
the tabernacle,
and all
the vessels
thereof;
and
they shall minister
unto it,
and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle.
And
when the tabernacle
setteth forward,
the Levites
shall take it down:
and
when the tabernacle
is to be pitched,
the Levites
shall set it up:
and the stranger
that cometh nigh
shall be put
to death.
And the children
of Israel
shall pitch
their tents,
every man
by his own camp,
and every man
by his own standard,
throughout their hosts.
But the Levites
shall pitch round
about the tabernacle
of testimony,
that there be no wrath
upon the congregation
of the children
of Israel:
and the Levites
shall keep
the charge
of the tabernacle
of testimony.
And the children
of Israel
did according to all
that the LORD
commanded Moses,
so did they.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron,
saying,
Every man
of the children
of Israel
shall pitch
by his own standard,
with the ensign
of their father's house:
far off
about the tabernacle
of the congregation
shall they pitch.
And on the east
side toward the rising
of the sun
shall
they of the standard
of the camp
of Judah
pitch
throughout their armies:
and Nahshon
the son
of Amminadab
shall be captain
of the children
of Judah.
And his host,
and those

and six hundred
and fifty.
All that
were numbered in the camp

and fifty
and one thousand
and four hundred
and fifty,
throughout their armies.
And
they shall set forth
in the second rank.
Then
the tabernacle
of the congregation
shall set
forward
with the camp
of the Levites
in the midst
of the camp:
as they encamp,
so shall
they set forward,
every man
in his place
by their standards.
On the west side
shall be the standard
of the camp
of Ephraim
according to their armies:
and the captain
of the sons
of Ephraim
shall be
Elishama the son
of Ammihud.
And his host,
and those
that were numbered of them,

And
by him shall be
the tribe
of Manasseh:
and the captain
of the children
of Manasseh
shall be
Gamaliel the son
of Pedahzur.
And his host,
and those
that were numbered of them,
were thirty
and two thousand
and two hundred.
Then the tribe
of Benjamin:
and the captain
of the sons
of Benjamin
shall be
Abidan the son
of Gideoni.
And his host,
and those
that were numbered of them,

and five thousand
and four hundred.
All that

and eight thousand
and an hundred,
throughout their armies.
And
they shall go forward
in the third rank.
The standard
of the camp
of Dan
shall be
on the north side
by their armies:
and the captain
of the children
of Dan
shall be
Ahiezer the son
of Ammishaddai.
And his host,
and those

All they

and fifty
and seven thousand
and six hundred.
They shall go hindmost
with their standards.
These are
those which
were numbered
of the children
of Israel
by the house
of their fathers:
all those
that
were numbered of the camps
throughout their hosts
were six hundred thousand
and three thousand
and five hundred
and fifty.
But the Levites
were not numbered
among the children
of Israel;
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the children
of Israel
did according to all
that the LORD
commanded Moses:
so they
pitched
by their standards,
and so
they set forward,
every one
after their families,
according to
the house
of their fathers.
These also are the generations
of Aaron
and Moses
in the day
that the LORD
spake with Moses
in mount Sinai.
And these
are the names
of the sons
of Aaron;
Nadab the firstborn,
and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
These are the names
of the sons
of Aaron,
the priests which
were anointed,
whom
he consecrated
to minister
in the priest's office.
And Nadab
and Abihu
died
before the LORD,
when
they offered strange fire
before the LORD,
in the wilderness
of Sinai,
and they
had
no children:
and Eleazar and
Ithamar
ministered
in the priest's office
in the sight
of Aaron their father.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Bring the tribe
of Levi near,
and present them
before Aaron the priest,
that they
may minister unto him.
And
they shall keep
his charge,
and the charge
of the whole congregation
before the tabernacle
of the congregation,
to do the service
of the tabernacle.
And
they shall keep all
the instruments
of the tabernacle
of the congregation,
and the charge
of the children
of Israel,
to do the service
of the tabernacle.
And
thou shalt give
the Levites
unto Aaron
and to his sons:
they are wholly given
unto him
out of the children
of Israel.
And
thou shalt appoint Aaron
and his sons,
and
they shall wait
on their priest's office:
and the stranger
that cometh nigh
shall be put
to death.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
And I,
behold,
I have taken
the Levites from
among the children
of Israel
instead of all
the firstborn
that openeth
the matrix
among the children
of Israel:
therefore the Levites
shall be mine;
Because all
the firstborn
are mine;
for on the day
that I
smote all
the firstborn
in the land
of Egypt I
hallowed
unto me all
the firstborn
in Israel,
both man
and beast:
mine
shall
they be:
I am the LORD.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
in the wilderness
of Sinai,
saying,
Number the children
of Levi
after the house
of their fathers,
by their families:
every male
from a month old
and upward shalt
thou number them.
And Moses
numbered them according to
the word
of the LORD,
as he
was commanded.
And these
were the sons
of Levi
by their names;
Gershon,
and Kohath,
and Merari.
And these
are the names
of the sons
of Gershon
by their families;
Libni,
and Shimei.
And the sons
of Kohath
by their families;
Amram,
and Izehar, Hebron,
and Uzziel.
And the sons
of Merari
by their families;
Mahli,
and Mushi.
These are the families
of the Levites
according to
the house
of their fathers.
Of Gershon
was the family
of the Libnites,
and the family
of the Shimites:
these are the families
of the Gershonites.
Those that
were numbered of them,
according to the number
of all the males,
from a month old
and upward,
even
those
that were numbered
of them were seven thousand
and five hundred.
The families
of the Gershonites
shall pitch
behind the tabernacle westward.
And the chief
of the house
of the father
of the Gershonites
shall be
Eliasaph the son
of Lael.
And the charge
of the sons
of Gershon
in the tabernacle
of the congregation
shall be
the tabernacle,
and the tent,
the covering
thereof,
and the hanging
for the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation,
And the hangings
of the court,
and the curtain
for the door
of the court,
which is by the tabernacle,
and
by the altar round about,
and the cords of it
for all the service
thereof.
And of Kohath
was the family
of the Amramites,
and the family
of the Izeharites,
and the family
of the Hebronites,
and the family
of the Uzzielites:
these are the families
of the Kohathites.
In the number
of all the males,
from a month old
and upward,
were eight thousand
and six hundred,
keeping the charge
of the sanctuary.
The families
of the sons
of Kohath
shall pitch
on the side
of the tabernacle southward.
And the chief
of the house
of the father
of the families
of the Kohathites
shall be
Elizaphan the son
of Uzziel.
And their charge
shall be the ark,
and the table,
and the candlestick,
and the altars,
and the vessels
of the sanctuary
wherewith
they minister,
and the hanging,
and all
the service
thereof.
And Eleazar
the son
of Aaron
the priest
shall be chief
over the chief
of the Levites,
and have
the oversight
of them that
keep the charge
of the sanctuary.
Of Merari
was the family
of the Mahlites,
and the family
of the Mushites:
these are the families
of Merari.
And those
that were numbered of them,
according to the number
of all the males,
from a month old
and upward,
were six thousand
and two hundred.
And the chief
of the house
of the father
of the families
of Merari
was Zuriel
the son
of Abihail:
these shall pitch
on the side
of the tabernacle northward.
And
under the custody
and charge
of the sons
of Merari
shall be
the boards
of the tabernacle,
and the bars
thereof,
and the pillars
thereof,
and the sockets
thereof,
and all
the vessels
thereof,
and all
that serveth thereto,
And the pillars
of the court round about,
and their sockets,
and their pins,
and their cords.
But those that
encamp
before the tabernacle
toward the east,
even before the tabernacle
of the congregation eastward,
shall be Moses,
and Aaron
and his sons,
keeping the charge
of the sanctuary
for the charge
of the children
of Israel;
and the stranger
that cometh nigh
shall be put
to death.
All that
were numbered
of the Levites,
which Moses
and Aaron
numbered
at the commandment
of the LORD,
throughout their families,
all the males
from a month old
and upward,
were twenty
and two thousand.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Number all the firstborn
of the males
of the children
of Israel
from a month old
and upward,
and take
the number
of their names.
And
thou shalt take
the Levites
for me
(I am the LORD)
instead of all the firstborn
among the children
of Israel;
and the cattle
of the Levites
instead of all the firstlings
among the cattle
of the children
of Israel.
And Moses numbered,
as the LORD
commanded him,
all the firstborn
among the children
of Israel.
And all
the firstborn males
by the number
of names,
from a month old
and upward,
of those
that were numbered of them,
were twenty
and two thousand two hundred
and threescore
and thirteen.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Take the Levites
instead of all the firstborn
among the children
of Israel,
and the cattle
of the Levites
instead of their cattle;
and the Levites
shall be mine:
I am the LORD.
And for those
that
are
to be redeemed
of the two hundred
and threescore
and thirteen
of the firstborn
of the children
of Israel,
which are more than
the Levites;
Thou shalt even take
five shekels
apiece by the poll,
after the shekel
of the sanctuary
shalt
thou take them:
(the shekel
is twenty gerahs:)
And
thou shalt give
the money,
wherewith the odd number
of them is
to be redeemed,
unto Aaron
and to his sons.
And Moses
took
the redemption money
of them that
were over
and above them
that were redeemed
by the Levites:
Of the firstborn
of the children
of Israel
took
he the money;
a thousand three hundred
and threescore
and five shekels,
after the shekel
of the sanctuary:
And Moses
gave the money
of them that
were redeemed
unto Aaron
and to his sons,
according to
the word
of the LORD,
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron,
saying,
Take the sum
of the sons
of Kohath
from among the sons
of Levi,
after their families,
by the house
of their fathers,
From thirty years old
and
upward even until
fifty years old,
all that
enter
into the host,
to do the work
in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
This shall be the service
of the sons
of Kohath
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
about the most holy things:
And
when the camp
setteth forward,
Aaron shall come,
and his sons,
and
they shall take
down the covering vail,
and cover
the ark
of testimony
with it:
And shall put thereon
the covering
of badgers' skins,
and shall spread
over it
a cloth
wholly of blue,
and
shall put in
the staves thereof.
And
upon the table
of shewbread
they shall spread
a cloth
of blue,
and put thereon
the dishes,
and the spoons,
and the bowls,
and covers
to cover withal:
and the continual bread
shall be thereon:
And
they shall spread
upon them a cloth
of scarlet,
and cover
the same
with a
covering
of badgers' skins,
and
shall put in
the staves thereof.
And
they shall take
a cloth
of blue,
and cover
the candlestick
of the light,
and his lamps,
and his tongs,
and his snuffdishes,
and all
the oil vessels
thereof,
wherewith
they minister
unto it:
And
they shall put it
and all
the vessels
thereof within a
covering
of badgers' skins,
and shall put
it upon a bar.
And
upon the golden altar
they shall spread
a cloth
of blue,
and cover it
with a
covering
of badgers' skins,
and shall put
to the staves
thereof:
And
they shall take
all the instruments
of ministry,
wherewith
they minister
in the sanctuary,
and put them
in a cloth
of blue,
and cover them
with a
covering
of badgers' skins,
and shall put them
on a bar:
And
they shall take away
the ashes
from the altar,
and spread
a purple cloth
thereon:
And
they shall put
upon it all
the vessels
thereof,
wherewith
they minister
about it,
even the censers,
the fleshhooks,
and the shovels,
and the basons,
all the vessels
of the altar;
and
they shall spread
upon it
a covering
of badgers' skins,
and put
to the staves of it.
And
when Aaron
and his sons
have made
an end
of covering
the sanctuary,
and all
the vessels
of the sanctuary,
as the camp
is to set forward;
after that,
the sons
of Kohath
shall come
to bear it:
but
they shall not touch
any holy thing,
lest they die.
These things
are the burden
of the sons
of Kohath
in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
And to the office
of Eleazar
the son
of Aaron
the priest
pertaineth
the oil
for the light,
and the sweet incense,
and the daily meat offering,
and the anointing oil,
and the oversight
of all the tabernacle,
and of all
that therein is,
in the sanctuary,
and
in the vessels
thereof.
And the LORD
spake
unto Moses
and unto Aaron saying,
Cut
ye not off the tribe
of the families
of the Kohathites from
among the Levites:
But thus
do unto them,
that they
may live,
and not die,
when
they approach
unto the most holy things:
Aaron
and his sons
shall go in,
and appoint them every one
to his service
and to his burden:
But
they shall not go in
to see
when the holy things
are covered,
lest they die.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Take
also the sum
of the sons
of Gershon,
throughout the houses
of their fathers,
by their families;
From thirty years old
and
upward until
fifty years old
shalt
thou number them;
all that
enter in
to perform the service,
to do the work
in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
This is the service
of the families
of the Gershonites,
to serve,
and for burdens:
And
they shall bear
the curtains
of the tabernacle,
and the tabernacle
of the congregation,
his covering,
and the covering
of the badgers' skins
that is above
upon it,
and the hanging
for the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation,
And the hangings
of the court,
and the hanging
for the door
of the gate
of the court,
which is
by the tabernacle
and by the altar round about,
and their cords,
and all
the instruments
of their service,
and
all that is made for them:
so shall
they serve.
At the appointment
of Aaron
and his sons
shall be all the service
of the sons
of the Gershonites,
in all their burdens,
and
in all their service:
and
ye shall appoint
unto them in charge all
their burdens.
This is the service
of the families
of the sons
of Gershon
in the tabernacle
of the congregation:
and their charge
shall be under the hand
of Ithamar
the son
of Aaron the priest.
As for the sons
of Merari,
thou shalt number them
after their families,
by the house
of their fathers;
From thirty years old
and upward
even unto fifty years old
shalt
thou number them,
every one that
entereth into the service,
to do the work
of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
And this
is the charge
of their burden,
according to all their service
in the tabernacle
of the congregation;
the boards
of the tabernacle,
and the bars
thereof,
and the pillars
thereof,
and sockets
thereof,
And the pillars
of the court round about,
and their sockets,
and their pins,
and their cords,
with all
their instruments,
and
with all their service:
and
by name
ye shall reckon
the instruments
of the charge
of their burden.
This is the service
of the families
of the sons
of Merari,
according to all their service,
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
under the hand
of Ithamar the son
of Aaron the priest.
And Moses
and Aaron
and the chief
of the congregation
numbered
the sons
of the Kohathites
after their families,
and
after the house
of their fathers,
From thirty years old
and upward
even unto fifty years old,
every one that
entereth into the service,
for the work
in the tabernacle
of the congregation:
And those
that were numbered
of them
by their families
were two thousand seven hundred
and fifty.
These were
they
that were numbered of the families
of the Kohathites,
all that
might do service
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
which Moses
and Aaron
did number
according to the commandment
of the LORD
by the hand
of Moses.
And those
that were numbered of the sons
of Gershon,
throughout their families,
and by the house
of their fathers,
From thirty years old
and upward
even unto fifty years old,
every one that
entereth into the service,
for the work
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
Even
those that
were numbered of them,
throughout their families,
by the house
of their fathers,
were two thousand
and six hundred
and thirty.
These are
they
that were numbered of the families
of the sons
of Gershon,
of all
that might do service
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
whom Moses
and Aaron
did number
according to
the commandment
of the LORD.
And those
that were numbered of the families
of the sons
of Merari,
throughout their families,
by the house
of their fathers,
From thirty years old
and upward
even unto fifty years old,
every one that
entereth into the service,
for the work
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
Even
those
that were numbered
of them
after their families,
were three thousand
and two hundred.
These be
those that
were numbered of the families
of the sons
of Merari,
whom Moses
and Aaron
numbered according to
the word
of the LORD
by the hand
of Moses.
All those
that were numbered
of the Levites,
whom Moses
and Aaron
and the chief
of Israel numbered,
after their families,
and
after the house
of their fathers,
From thirty years old
and upward
even unto fifty years old,
every one that
came
to do the service
of the ministry,
and the service
of the burden
in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
Even
those that
were numbered of them,
were eight thousand
and five hundred
and fourscore,
According to
the commandment
of the LORD
they were numbered by the hand
of Moses,
every one
according to his service,
and
according to his burden:
thus
were
they
numbered of him,
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Command
the children
of Israel,
that they put
out of the camp every leper,
and every one that
hath an issue,
and whosoever
is defiled
by the dead:
Both male
and female
shall
ye put out,
without the camp
shall
ye put them;
that they
defile not
their camps,
in the midst
whereof I dwell.
And the children
of Israel
did so,
and put them out
without the camp:
as the LORD
spake unto Moses,
so did
the children
of Israel.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak
unto the children
of Israel,
When a man
or woman
shall commit any sin
that men commit,
to do a trespass
against the LORD,
and that person
be guilty;
Then
they shall confess
their sin
which they
have done:
and
he shall recompense
his trespass
with the principal
thereof,
and add
unto it
the fifth part
thereof,
and give it
unto him
against whom
he hath trespassed.
But
if the man
have no kinsman
to recompense
the trespass
unto,
let
the trespass
be recompensed
unto the LORD,
even to the priest;
beside the ram
of the atonement,
whereby
an atonement
shall be made for him.
And every offering
of all the holy things
of the children
of Israel,
which they
bring
unto the priest,
shall be his.
And every man's hallowed things
shall be his:
whatsoever
any man
giveth the priest,
it shall be his.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak
unto the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
If any man's wife
go aside,
and commit
a trespass
against him,
And a man
lie
with her carnally,
and it
be hid from the eyes
of her husband,
and be kept close,
and
she be defiled,
and there be
no witness
against her,
neither she
be taken
with the manner;
And the spirit
of jealousy come upon him,
and he
be jealous
of his wife,
and
she be defiled:
or if the spirit
of jealousy come upon him,
and he
be jealous
of his wife,
and
she be not defiled:
Then shall
the man
bring his wife
unto the priest,
and
he shall bring
her
offering for her,
the tenth part
of an ephah
of barley meal;
he shall pour
no oil
upon it,
nor put frankincense thereon;
for it
is an offering
of jealousy,
an offering
of memorial,
bringing iniquity
to remembrance.
And the priest
shall bring
her near,
and set her
before the LORD:
And the priest
shall take holy water
in an earthen vessel;
and of the dust
that is
in the floor
of the tabernacle
the priest
shall take,
and put it
into the water:
And the priest
shall set
the woman
before the LORD,
and uncover
the woman's head,
and put
the offering
of memorial
in her hands,
which is
the jealousy offering:
and the priest
shall have
in his hand
the bitter
water that
causeth the curse:
And the priest
shall charge her
by an oath,
and say
unto the woman,
If no man
have lain
with thee,
and
if thou
hast not gone aside
to uncleanness
with another
instead of thy husband,
be thou
free
from this bitter
water that
causeth the curse:
But
if thou
hast gone aside
to another
instead of thy husband,
and
if thou
be defiled,
and some man
have lain
with thee
beside thine
husband:
Then the priest
shall charge
the woman
with an oath
of cursing,
and the priest
shall say
unto the woman,
The LORD
make thee a curse
and an oath
among thy people,
when the LORD
doth make
thy thigh to rot,
and thy belly
to swell;
And this water
that causeth
the curse
shall go
into thy bowels,
to make
thy belly
to swell,
and thy thigh
to rot:
And the woman
shall say,
Amen,
amen.
And the priest
shall write
these curses
in a book,
and he
shall blot
them out
with the bitter water:
And
he shall cause
the woman
to drink
the bitter
water that
causeth the curse:
and the water
that causeth
the curse
shall enter
into her,
and become bitter.
Then the priest
shall take
the jealousy
offering
out of the woman's hand,
and shall wave
the offering
before the LORD,
and offer it
upon the altar:
And the priest
shall take
an handful
of the offering,
even the memorial
thereof,
and burn it
upon the altar,
and afterward shall cause
the woman
to drink the water.
And
when
he hath made her
to drink
the water,
then it
shall come
to pass,
that,
if she
be defiled,
and have done
trespass
against her husband,
that the water
that causeth
the curse
shall enter
into her,
and become bitter,
and her belly
shall swell,
and her thigh
shall rot:
and the woman
shall be a curse
among her people.
And
if the woman
be not defiled,
but be clean;
then
she shall be free,
and shall conceive seed.
This is the law
of jealousies,
when a wife
goeth aside
to another
instead of her husband,
and is defiled;
Or when
the spirit
of jealousy
cometh upon him,
and he
be jealous
over his wife,
and shall set
the woman
before the LORD,
and the priest
shall execute
upon her all
this law.
Then shall
the man
be guiltless
from iniquity,
and this woman
shall bear
her iniquity.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak
unto the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
When either man
or woman
shall separate themselves
to vow a vow
of a Nazarite,
to separate themselves
unto the LORD:
He shall separate himself
from wine
and strong drink,
and shall drink no vinegar
of wine,
or vinegar
of strong drink,
neither shall
he drink any liquor
of grapes,
nor eat
moist grapes,
or dried.
All the days
of his separation
shall
he eat nothing
that is made
of the vine tree,
from the kernels
even to the husk.
All the days
of the vow
of his separation
there shall no razor
come upon
his head:
until the days
be fulfilled,
in the which
he separateth himself
unto the LORD,
he shall be holy,
and shall let
the locks
of the hair
of his head grow.
All the days
that he
separateth himself
unto the LORD
he shall come
at no dead body.
He shall not make himself unclean
for his father,
or for his mother,
for his brother,
or for his sister,
when they die:
because
the consecration
of his God
is upon his head.
All the days
of his separation
he is holy
unto the LORD.
And
if any man
die very
suddenly by him,
and
he hath defiled
the head
of his consecration;
then
he shall shave
his head
in the day
of his cleansing,
on the seventh day
shall
he shave it.
And on the eighth day
he shall bring
two turtles,
or two young pigeons,
to the priest,
to the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation:
And the priest
shall offer
the one
for a sin offering,
and the other
for a burnt offering,
and make
an atonement
for him,
for that
he sinned
by the dead,
and shall hallow
his head that same day.
And
he shall consecrate
unto the LORD
the days
of his separation,
and shall bring
a lamb
of the first year
for a trespass offering:
but the days
that were
before shall be lost,
because
his separation
was defiled.
And this
is the law
of the Nazarite,
when the days
of his separation
are fulfilled:
he shall be brought
unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation:
And
he shall offer
his offering
unto the LORD,
one
he lamb
of the first year
without blemish
for a burnt offering,
and one ewe lamb
of the first year
without blemish
for a sin offering,
and one ram
without blemish
for peace offerings,
And a basket
of unleavened bread,
cakes
of fine flour
mingled with oil,
and
wafers
of unleavened bread
anointed with oil,
and their meat offering,
and their drink offerings.
And the priest
shall bring them
before the LORD,
and shall offer
his sin offering,
and his burnt offering:
And
he shall offer
the ram for a
sacrifice
of peace offerings
unto the LORD,
with the basket
of unleavened bread:
the priest
shall offer also
his meat offering,
and his drink offering.
And the Nazarite
shall shave
the head
of his separation
at the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation,
and shall take
the hair
of the head
of his separation,
and put it
in the fire
which is under the sacrifice
of the peace offerings.
And the priest
shall take
the sodden shoulder
of the ram,
and one unleavened cake
out of the basket,
and one unleavened wafer,
and shall put them
upon the hands
of the Nazarite,
after the hair
of his separation
is shaven:
And the priest
shall wave them
for a wave
offering
before the LORD:
this is holy
for the priest,
with the wave breast
and heave shoulder:
and after that
the Nazarite
may drink wine.
This is
the law
of the Nazarite
who hath vowed,
and of his offering
unto the LORD
for his separation,
beside that
that his hand
shall get:
according to the vow
which he vowed,
so he
must do
after the law
of his separation.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak unto Aaron
and unto his sons,
saying,
On this wise
ye shall bless
the children
of Israel,
saying unto them,
The LORD
bless thee,
and keep thee:
The LORD
make his face shine
upon thee,
and be gracious
unto thee:
The LORD lift
up his countenance
upon thee,
and give
thee peace.
And
they shall put
my name
upon the children
of Israel,
and
I will bless them.
And it
came
to pass
on the day
that Moses
had fully set up
the tabernacle,
and had anointed it,
and sanctified it,
and all
the instruments
thereof,
both the altar
and all
the vessels
thereof,
and had anointed them,
and sanctified them;
That the princes
of Israel,
heads
of the house
of their fathers,
who were the princes
of the tribes,
and were over them that
were numbered,
offered:
And they
brought
their offering
before the LORD,
six covered wagons,
and twelve oxen;
a wagon for two
of the princes,
and
for each one an ox:
and
they brought them
before the tabernacle.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Take it
of them,
that
they may be
to do the service
of the tabernacle
of the congregation;
and
thou shalt give them
unto the Levites,
to every man
according to his service.
And Moses
took the wagons
and the oxen,
and gave them
unto the Levites.
Two wagons
and four oxen
he gave unto the sons
of Gershon,
according to their service:
And four wagons
and eight oxen
he gave unto the sons
of Merari,
according
unto their service,
under the hand
of Ithamar the son
of Aaron the priest.
But unto the sons
of Kohath
he gave none:
because the service
of the sanctuary
belonging
unto them was
that they
should bear
upon their shoulders.
And the princes
offered
for dedicating
of the altar
in the day
that it
was anointed,
even
the princes
offered
their offering
before the altar.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
They
shall offer
their offering,
each prince
on his day,
for the dedicating
of the altar.

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

in the company
of Korah,
when they
strove
against the LORD:
And the earth
opened her mouth,
and swallowed
them up
together
with Korah,
when that company died,
what time
the fire devoured two hundred
and fifty men:
and they
became
a sign.

the number
of names.
To many
thou shalt give
the more inheritance,
and to few
thou shalt give
the less inheritance:
to every one
shall
his inheritance
be given according to those
that were numbered of him.
Notwithstanding

was Jochebed,
the daughter
of Levi,
whom her mother bare
to Levi in Egypt:
and she
bare
unto Amram Aaron
and Moses,
and Miriam
their sister.
And unto Aaron
was born Nadab,
and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
And Nadab
and Abihu died,
when
they offered strange fire
before the LORD.
And those
that were numbered
of them were twenty
and three thousand,
all males
from a month old
and upward:
for they
were not numbered
among the children
of Israel,
because
there was no inheritance
given them
among the children
of Israel.
These are
they
that were numbered
by Moses
and Eleazar
the priest,
who numbered the children
of Israel
in the plains
of Moab
by Jordan
near Jericho.
But among these
there was not
a man
of them whom
Moses
and Aaron
the priest numbered,
when
they numbered
the children
of Israel
in the wilderness
of Sinai.
For the LORD
had said of them,
They shall surely die
in the wilderness.
And there was not left
a man
of them,
save Caleb
the son
of Jephunneh,
and Joshua
the son
of Nun.
Then came
the daughters
of Zelophehad,
the son
of Hepher,
the son
of Gilead,
the son
of Machir,
the son
of Manasseh,
of the families
of Manasseh
the son
of Joseph:
and these
are the names
of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah,
and Hoglah,
and Milcah,
and Tirzah.
And they
stood
before Moses,
and
before Eleazar the priest,
and
before the princes
and all
the congregation,
by the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation,
saying,
Our father
died
in the wilderness,
and he
was not
in the company
of them that
gathered themselves
together against the LORD
in the company
of Korah;
but died
in his own sin,
and had
no sons.
Why should
the name
of our father
be done away from
among his family,
because
he hath no son?
Give unto us
therefore a possession
among the brethren
of our father.
And Moses
brought
their cause
before the LORD.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
And
thou shalt speak
unto the children
of Israel,
saying,
If a man die,
and have no son,
then
ye shall cause
his inheritance
to pass
unto his daughter.
And
if he
have no daughter,
then
ye shall give
his inheritance
unto his brethren.
And
if he
have no brethren,
then
ye shall give
his inheritance
unto his father's brethren.
And if his father
have no brethren,
then
ye shall give
his inheritance
unto his kinsman
that is next
to him
of his family,
and
he shall possess it:
and it
shall be
unto the children
of Israel
a statute
of judgment,
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Get thee
up into this mount Abarim,
and see
the land
which I
have given
unto the children
of Israel.
And
when
thou hast seen it,
thou also shalt be gathered
unto thy people,
as Aaron
thy brother
was gathered.
For ye rebelled
against my commandment
in the desert
of Zin,
in the strife
of the congregation,
to sanctify me
at the water
before their eyes:
that is the water
of Meribah
in Kadesh
in the wilderness
of Zin.
And Moses
spake unto the LORD,
saying,
Let the LORD,
the God
of the spirits
of all flesh,
set a man
over the congregation,
Which may go out
before them,
and which
may go in
before them,
and
which may lead them out,
and
which may bring them in;
that the congregation
of the LORD
be not
as sheep which
have no shepherd.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Take thee Joshua
the son of Nun,
a man
in whom is the spirit,
and lay
thine hand
upon him;
And set him
before Eleazar the priest,
and
before all
the congregation;
and give him
a charge
in their sight.
And
thou shalt put some of
thine
honour upon him,
that all
the congregation
of the children
of Israel
may be obedient.
And
he shall stand
before Eleazar
the priest,
who shall ask
counsel
for him
after the judgment
of Urim
before the LORD:
at his word
shall
they go out,
and at his word
they shall come in,
both he,
and all
the children
of Israel
with him,
even all
the congregation.
And Moses
did as the LORD
commanded him:
and
he took Joshua,
and set him
before Eleazar the priest,
and
before all
the congregation:
And he
laid
his hands
upon him,
and gave him
a charge,
as the LORD
commanded
by the hand
of Moses.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Command
the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
My offering,
and
my bread
for my sacrifices
made by fire,
for a sweet savour
unto me,
shall
ye observe
to offer
unto me
in their due season.
And
thou
shalt say unto them,
This
is
the offering
made
by fire
which ye
shall offer
unto the LORD;
two lambs
of the first year
without spot
day by day,
for a continual burnt offering.
The one lamb
shalt
thou offer
in the morning,
and the other lamb
shalt
thou offer
at even;
And a tenth part
of an ephah
of flour
for a meat offering,
mingled
with the fourth part
of an hin
of beaten oil.
It is
a continual burnt offering,
which was ordained
in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour,
a sacrifice
made
by fire
unto the LORD.
And the drink
offering
thereof shall be
the fourth part
of an hin
for the one lamb:
in the holy place
shalt
thou cause
the strong wine
to be poured
unto the LORD
for a drink
offering.
And the other lamb
shalt
thou offer
at even:
as the meat
offering
of the morning,
and as the drink
offering thereof,
thou shalt offer it,
a sacrifice
made by fire,
of a sweet savour
unto the LORD.
And
on the sabbath day two lambs
of the first year
without spot,
and two tenth
deals of flour
for a meat offering,
mingled with oil,
and the drink
offering thereof:
This is the burnt
offering
of every sabbath,
beside the continual burnt offering,
and his drink offering.
And
in the beginnings
of your months
ye shall offer
a burnt
offering
unto the LORD;
two young bullocks,
and one ram,
seven lambs
of the first year
without spot;
And three tenth
deals of flour
for a meat offering,
mingled with oil,
for one bullock;
and two tenth
deals of flour
for a meat offering,
mingled with oil,
for one ram;
And
a several tenth deal
of flour
mingled
with oil
for a meat
offering
unto one lamb;
for a
burnt
offering
of a sweet savour,
a sacrifice
made
by fire
unto the LORD.
And their drink offerings
shall be half
an hin
of wine
unto a bullock,
and the third part
of an hin
unto a ram,
and a fourth part
of an hin
unto a lamb:
this is
the burnt
offering
of every month
throughout the months
of the year.
And one kid
of the goats
for a sin
offering
unto the LORD
shall be offered,
beside the continual burnt offering,
and his drink offering.
And
in the fourteenth day
of the first month
is the passover
of the LORD.
And in
the fifteenth day of this month
is the feast:
seven days
shall
unleavened bread
be eaten.
In the first day
shall be
an holy convocation;
ye shall do no manner
of servile work
therein:
But ye
shall offer
a sacrifice
made
by fire for a
burnt
offering
unto the LORD;
two young bullocks,
and one ram,
and seven lambs
of the first year:
they shall be
unto you
without blemish:
And their meat
offering
shall be
of flour
mingled with oil:
three tenth deals
shall
ye offer
for a bullock,
and two tenth
deals
for a ram;
A several tenth deal
shalt
thou offer
for every lamb,
throughout the seven lambs:
And one goat
for a sin offering,
to make an atonement
for you.
Ye shall offer
these beside the burnt
offering
in the morning,
which is for a
continual burnt offering.
After this manner
ye shall offer daily,
throughout the seven days,
the meat
of the sacrifice
made by fire,
of a sweet savour
unto the LORD:
it shall be offered beside
the continual burnt offering,
and his drink offering.
And on the seventh day
ye shall have
an holy convocation;
ye shall do
no servile work.
Also in
the day
of the firstfruits,
when
ye bring
a new meat
offering
unto the LORD,
after your weeks
be out,
ye shall have
an holy convocation;
ye shall do
no servile work:
But ye
shall offer
the burnt
offering
for a sweet savour
unto the LORD;
two young bullocks,
one ram,
seven lambs
of the first year;
And their meat
offering
of flour
mingled with oil,
three tenth deals
unto one bullock,
two tenth deals
unto one ram,
A several tenth deal
unto one lamb,
throughout the seven lambs;
And one kid
of the goats,
to make an atonement
for you.
Ye shall offer them beside
the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering,
(they shall be
unto you
without blemish)
and their drink offerings.
And
in the seventh month,
on the first day
of the month,
ye shall have
an holy convocation;
ye shall do
no servile work:
it is a day
of blowing
the trumpets
unto you.
And ye
shall offer
a burnt
offering
for a sweet savour
unto the LORD;
one young bullock,
one ram,
and seven lambs
of the first year
without blemish:
And their meat
offering
shall be
of flour
mingled with oil,
three tenth deals
for a bullock,
and two tenth
deals for a ram,
And one tenth
deal
for one lamb,
throughout the seven lambs:
And one kid
of the goats
for a sin offering,
to make an atonement
for you:
Beside the burnt
offering
of the month,
and his meat offering,
and the daily burnt offering,
and his meat offering,
and their drink offerings,
according
unto their manner,
for a sweet savour,
a sacrifice
made
by fire
unto the LORD.
And ye
shall have
on the tenth day
of this seventh month
an holy convocation;
and
ye shall afflict
your souls:
ye shall not do any work
therein:
But ye
shall offer
a burnt
offering
unto the LORD
for a sweet savour;
one young bullock,
one ram,
and seven lambs
of the first year;
they shall be
unto you
without blemish:
And their meat
offering
shall be
of flour
mingled with oil,
three tenth deals
to a bullock,
and two tenth
deals
to one ram,
A several tenth deal
for one lamb,
throughout the seven lambs:
One kid
of the goats
for a sin offering;
beside the sin
offering
of atonement,
and the continual burnt offering,
and the meat
offering of it,
and their drink offerings.
And on the fifteenth day
of the seventh month
ye shall have
an holy convocation;
ye shall do
no servile work,
and ye
shall keep
a feast
unto the LORD seven days:
And ye
shall offer
a burnt offering,
a sacrifice
made by fire,
of a sweet savour
unto the LORD;
thirteen young bullocks,
two rams,
and fourteen lambs
of the first year;
they shall be
without blemish:
And their meat
offering
shall be
of flour
mingled with oil,
three tenth deals
unto every bullock
of the thirteen bullocks,
two tenth deals
to each ram
of the two rams,
And a several tenth deal
to each lamb
of the fourteen lambs:
And one kid
of the goats
for a sin offering;
beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering,
and his drink offering.
And on the second day
ye shall offer
twelve young bullocks,
two rams,
fourteen lambs
of the first year
without spot:
And their meat

and

And on

And on

And one kid

And on

And one goat

beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering,

And on
the sixth day eight bullocks,
two rams,

On the eighth day
ye shall have
a solemn assembly:
ye shall do
no servile work
therein:
But ye

a burnt offering,
a sacrifice
made by fire,
of a sweet savour
unto the LORD:
one bullock,
one ram,
seven lambs

Their meat

and
for the lambs,
shall be according to
their number,
after the manner:
And one goat

beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering,
and his drink offering.
These things
ye shall do
unto the LORD
in your set feasts,
beside your vows,
and your freewill offerings,
for your burnt offerings,
and
for your meat offerings,
and
for your drink offerings,
and
for your peace offerings.
And Moses
told
the children
of Israel
according to all
that the LORD
commanded Moses.
And Moses
spake unto the heads
of the tribes
concerning
the children
of Israel,
saying,
This is the thing
which the LORD
hath commanded.
If a man
vow a vow
unto the LORD,
or swear
an oath
to bind his soul
with a bond;
he shall not break
his word,
he shall do according to all
that
proceedeth
out of his mouth.
If a woman
also vow a vow
unto the LORD,
and bind herself
by a bond,
being
in her father's house
in her youth;
And her father
hear her vow,
and her bond
wherewith
she hath bound
her soul,
and her father
shall hold
his peace
at her;
then all her vows
shall stand,
and every
bond wherewith
she hath bound
her soul
shall stand.
But
if her father
disallow her
in the day
that he heareth;
not any
of her vows,
or of her bonds
wherewith
she hath bound
her soul,
shall stand:
and the LORD
shall forgive her,
because
her father
disallowed her.
And
if she
had at all
an husband,
when she vowed,
or uttered ought
out of her lips,
wherewith
she bound
her soul;
And her husband
heard it,
and held
his peace
at her
in the day
that he
heard it:
then her vows
shall stand,
and her bonds
wherewith
she bound
her soul
shall stand.
But
if her husband
disallowed her
on the day
that he
heard it;
then
he shall make
her vow
which she vowed,
and
that which
she uttered
with her lips,
wherewith
she bound
her soul,
of none effect:
and the LORD
shall forgive her.
But every vow
of a widow,
and of her
that is divorced,
wherewith
they have bound
their souls,
shall stand
against her.
And
if she
vowed
in her husband's house,
or bound
her soul
by a bond
with an oath;
And her husband
heard it,
and held
his peace
at her,
and disallowed
her not:
then all her vows
shall stand,
and every
bond wherewith
she bound
her soul
shall stand.
But
if her husband
hath utterly made them void
on the day
he heard them;
then whatsoever proceeded
out of her lips
concerning her vows,
or concerning the bond
of her soul,
shall not stand:
her husband
hath made them void;
and the LORD
shall forgive her.
Every vow,
and every binding oath
to afflict the soul,
her husband
may establish it,
or her husband
may make
it void.
But
if her husband
altogether hold his peace
at her
from day to day;
then
he establisheth all
her vows,
or all her bonds,
which are upon her:
he confirmeth them,
because
he held
his peace
at her
in the day
that he heard them.
But
if he
shall any ways
make them void
after that
he hath heard them;
then
he shall bear
her iniquity.
These are the statutes,
which the LORD
commanded Moses,
between a man
and his wife,
between the father
and his daughter,
being yet
in her youth
in her father's house.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Avenge the children
of Israel
of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou
be gathered
unto thy people.
And Moses
spake unto the people,
saying,
Arm some of yourselves
unto the war,
and let them
go against the Midianites,
and avenge
the LORD
of Midian.
Of every tribe
a thousand,
throughout all
the tribes
of Israel,
shall
ye send
to the war.
So there were delivered
out of the thousands of Israel,
a thousand
of every tribe,
twelve thousand
armed for war.
And Moses
sent them
to the war,
a thousand
of every tribe,
them and Phinehas
the son
of Eleazar the priest,
to the war,
with the holy instruments,
and the trumpets
to blow
in his hand.
And they
warred
against the Midianites,
as the LORD
commanded Moses;
and
they slew all
the males.
And they
slew
the kings
of Midian,
beside the rest
of them that
were slain;
namely,
Evi,
and Rekem,
and Zur,
and Hur,
and Reba,
five kings
of Midian:
Balaam
also the son
of Beor
they slew with the sword.
And the children
of Israel
took all
the women
of Midian captives,
and their little ones,
and took
the spoil
of all their cattle,
and all
their flocks,
and all
their goods.
And they
burnt all
their cities
wherein
they dwelt,
and all
their goodly castles,
with fire.
And
they took all
the spoil,
and all
the prey,
both of men
and of beasts.
And
they brought
the captives,
and the prey,
and the spoil,
unto Moses,
and Eleazar
the priest,
and
unto the congregation
of the children
of Israel,
unto the camp
at the plains
of Moab,
which are by Jordan
near Jericho.
And Moses,
and Eleazar
the priest,
and all
the princes
of the congregation,
went forth
to meet them
without the camp.
And Moses
was wroth
with the officers
of the host,
with the captains
over thousands,
and captains
over hundreds,
which came
from the battle.
And Moses
said unto them,
Have
ye saved all
the women alive?
Behold,
these caused
the children
of Israel,
through the counsel
of Balaam,
to commit
trespass
against the LORD
in the matter
of Peor,
and there was a plague
among the congregation
of the LORD.
Now therefore kill every male
among the little ones,
and kill
every woman that
hath known man
by lying with him.
But all
the women children,
that have not known a man
by lying with him,
keep alive
for yourselves.
And do
ye abide
without the camp seven days:
whosoever
hath killed
any person,
and whosoever
hath touched
any slain,
purify both yourselves
and your captives
on the third day,
and on the seventh day.
And purify all
your raiment,
and all that is made
of skins,
and all work
of goats' hair,
and all things
made
of wood.
And Eleazar
the priest
said
unto the men
of war which
went to the battle,
This is the ordinance
of the law
which the LORD
commanded Moses;
Only the gold,
and the silver,
the brass,
the iron,
the tin,
and the lead,
Every thing that
may abide
the fire,
ye shall make
it
go through the fire,
and it
shall be clean:
nevertheless
it shall be purified
with the water
of separation:
and all that abideth not
the fire
ye shall make
go through the water.
And ye
shall wash
your clothes
on the seventh day,
and
ye shall be clean,
and afterward
ye shall come
into the camp.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Take the sum
of the prey
that was taken,
both of man
and of beast,
thou,
and Eleazar
the priest,
and the chief fathers
of the congregation:
And divide
the prey
into two parts;
between them that
took the war
upon them,
who went out
to battle,
and
between all
the congregation:
And levy
a tribute
unto the Lord
of the men
of war which
went out
to battle:
one soul
of five hundred,
both of the persons,
and
of the beeves,
and of the asses,
and of the sheep:
Take it
of their half,
and give it
unto Eleazar the priest,
for an heave
offering
of the LORD.
And of the children
of Israel's half,
thou shalt take one portion
of fifty,
of the persons,
of the beeves,
of the asses,
and
of the flocks,
of all manner
of beasts,
and give them
unto the Levites,
which keep
the charge
of the tabernacle
of the LORD.
And Moses
and Eleazar
the priest
did as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the booty,
being the rest
of the prey
which the men
of war
had caught,
was six hundred thousand
and seventy thousand
and five thousand sheep,
And threescore
and twelve thousand beeves,
And threescore
and one thousand asses,
And thirty
and two thousand persons
in all,
of women
that had not known man
by lying with him.
And the half,
which was the portion
of them
that went out
to war,
was in number three hundred thousand
and seven
and thirty thousand
and five hundred sheep:
And the LORD's tribute
of the sheep
was six hundred
and threescore
and fifteen.
And the beeves
were thirty
and six thousand;
of which
the LORD's tribute
was threescore
and twelve.
And the asses
were thirty thousand
and five hundred;
of which
the LORD's tribute
was threescore
and one.
And the persons
were sixteen thousand;
of which
the LORD's tribute
was thirty
and two persons.
And Moses
gave the tribute,
which was
the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest,
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And of the children
of Israel's half,
which Moses
divided
from the men
that warred,
(Now the half
that pertained
unto the congregation
was three hundred thousand
and thirty thousand
and seven thousand
and five hundred sheep,
And thirty
and six thousand beeves,
And thirty thousand asses
and five hundred,
Even of the children
of Israel's half,
Moses took one portion
of fifty,
both of man
and of beast,
and gave them
unto the Levites,
which kept the charge
of the tabernacle
of the LORD;
as the LORD
commanded Moses.
And the officers
which were over thousands of
the host,
the captains
of thousands,
and captains
of hundreds,
came near
unto Moses:
And they
said
unto Moses,
Thy servants
have taken the sum
of the men
of war which
are under our charge,
and there lacketh not
one man of us.
We have therefore brought
an oblation
for the LORD,
what every man
hath gotten,
of jewels
of gold,
chains,
and bracelets,
rings,
earrings,
and tablets,
to make an atonement
for our souls
before the LORD.
And Moses
and Eleazar
the priest
took
the gold
of them,
even all wrought jewels.
And all
the gold
of the offering
that they
offered up to the LORD,
of the captains
of thousands,
and
of the captains
of hundreds,
was sixteen thousand seven hundred
and fifty shekels.
(For the men
of war
had taken spoil,
every man
for himself.)
And Moses
and Eleazar
the priest
took
the gold
of the captains
of thousands
and of hundreds,
and brought it
into the tabernacle
of the congregation,
for a memorial
for the children
of Israel
before the LORD.
Now the children
of Reuben
and the children
of Gad
had
a very great multitude
of cattle:
and
when
they saw
the land
of Jazer,
and the land
of Gilead,
that,
behold,
the place
was a place
for cattle;
The children
of Gad
and the children
of Reuben
came
and spake
unto Moses,
and
to Eleazar the priest,
and
unto the princes
of the congregation,
saying,
Ataroth,
and Dibon,
and Jazer,
and Nimrah,
and Heshbon,
and Elealeh,
and Shebam,
and Nebo,
and Beon,
Even the country
which the LORD
smote before the congregation
of Israel,
is a land
for cattle,
and thy servants
have cattle:
Wherefore,
said they,
if we
have found
grace in thy sight,
let this land
be given
unto thy servants
for a possession,
and bring us not
over Jordan.
And Moses
said
unto the children
of Gad
and to the children
of Reuben,
Shall your brethren
go
to war,
and shall
ye sit here?
And wherefore discourage
ye the heart
of the children
of Israel
from going over
into the land
which the LORD
hath given them?
Thus did your fathers,
when I
sent them
from Kadeshbarnea
to see the land.
For when
they went up unto the valley
of Eshcol,
and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart
of the children
of Israel,
that they
should not go
into the land
which the LORD
had given them.
And the LORD's anger
was kindled
the same time,
and he sware,
saying,
Surely
none of the men that
came up out of Egypt,
from twenty years old
and upward,
shall see the land
which I
sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob;
because
they have not wholly followed me:
Save Caleb
the son
of Jephunneh the Kenezite,
and Joshua
the son
of Nun:
for they
have wholly followed
the LORD.
And the LORD's anger
was kindled
against Israel,
and he
made them
wander
in the wilderness forty years,
until all the generation,
that had done evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
was consumed.
And,
behold,
ye are risen up
in your fathers' stead,
an increase
of sinful men,
to augment yet
the fierce anger
of the LORD
toward Israel.
For if
ye turn away from
after him,
he will yet again leave them
in the wilderness;
and
ye shall destroy all
this people.
And
they
came near unto him,
and said,
We will build sheepfolds here
for our cattle,
and cities
for our little ones:
But
we ourselves
will go ready armed
before the children
of Israel,
until we
have brought them
unto their place:
and our little
ones shall dwell
in the fenced cities
because
of the inhabitants
of the land.
We will not return
unto our houses,
until the children
of Israel
have inherited every man
his inheritance.
For we
will not inherit
with them on yonder side Jordan,
or forward;
because
our inheritance
is fallen to us
on this side Jordan eastward.
And Moses
said unto them,
If ye
will do
this thing,
if ye
will go
armed
before the LORD
to war,
And will go
all of you
armed over Jordan
before the LORD,
until he
hath driven
out his enemies from
before him,
And the land
be subdued
before the LORD:
then afterward
ye shall return,
and be guiltless
before the LORD,
and
before Israel;
and this land
shall be your possession
before the LORD.
But
if ye
will not do so,
behold,
ye have sinned
against the LORD:
and be sure
your sin
will find you out.
Build you cities
for your little ones,
and folds
for your sheep;
and do that which
hath proceeded
out of your mouth.
And the children
of Gad
and the children
of Reuben
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Thy servants
will do
as my lord commandeth.
Our little ones,
our wives,
our flocks,
and all
our cattle,
shall be there in the cities
of Gilead:
But thy servants
will pass over,
every man
armed
for war,
before the LORD
to battle,
as my lord saith.
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:
And Moses
said unto them,
If the children
of Gad
and the children
of Reuben
will pass
with you
over Jordan,
every man
armed to battle,
before the LORD,
and the land
shall be subdued
before you;
then
ye shall give them
the land
of Gilead
for a possession:
But
if they
will not pass over
with you armed,
they shall have possessions
among you
in the land
of Canaan.
And the children
of Gad
and the children
of Reuben answered,
saying,
As the LORD
hath said
unto thy servants,
so will
we do.
We will pass
over armed
before the LORD
into the land
of Canaan,
that the possession
of our inheritance
on this side
Jordan may be ours.
And Moses
gave unto them,
even to
the children
of Gad,
and to the children
of Reuben,
and unto half
the tribe
of Manasseh
the son
of Joseph,
the kingdom
of Sihon king
of the Amorites,
and the kingdom
of Og king
of Bashan,
the land,
with the cities
thereof in the coasts,
even the cities
of the country round about.
And the children
of Gad
built Dibon,
and Ataroth,
and Aroer,
And Atroth, Shophan,
and Jaazer,
and Jogbehah,
And Bethnimrah,
and Bethharan,
fenced cities:
and folds
for sheep.
And the children
of Reuben
built Heshbon,
and Elealeh,
and Kirjathaim,
And Nebo,
and Baalmeon,
(their names
being changed,)
and Shibmah:
and gave other names
unto the cities
which they builded.
And the children
of Machir
the son
of Manasseh
went to Gilead,
and took it,
and dispossessed
the Amorite
which was in it.
And Moses
gave Gilead
unto Machir
the son
of Manasseh;
and he
dwelt therein.
And Jair
the son
of Manasseh
went
and took
the small towns
thereof,
and called them
Havothjair.
And Nobah
went
and took Kenath,
and the villages
thereof,
and called
it Nobah,
after his own name.
These are the journeys
of the children
of Israel,
which went forth
out of the land
of Egypt
with their armies
under the hand
of Moses and Aaron.
And Moses
wrote
their goings
out according to
their journeys
by the commandment
of the LORD:
and these
are their journeys
according to their goings out.
And they
departed
from Rameses
in the first month,
on the fifteenth day
of the first month;
on the morrow
after the passover the children
of Israel
went out
with an high
hand in
the sight
of all the Egyptians.
For the Egyptians
buried all
their firstborn,
which the LORD
had smitten among them:
upon their gods
also the LORD
executed judgments.
And the children
of Israel
removed
from Rameses,
and pitched
in Succoth.
And they
departed
from Succoth,
and pitched
in Etham,
which is in the edge
of the wilderness.
And they
removed
from Etham,
and turned again
unto Pihahiroth,
which is before Baalzephon:
and they
pitched
before Migdol.
And
they departed from
before Pihahiroth,
and passed
through the midst
of the sea
into the wilderness,
and went
three days' journey
in the wilderness
of Etham,
and pitched
in Marah.
And they
removed
from Marah,
and came
unto Elim:
and in Elim
were twelve fountains
of water,
and threescore
and ten palm trees;
and
they pitched there.
And they
removed
from Elim,
and encamped
by the Red sea.
And they
removed
from the Red sea,
and encamped
in the wilderness
of Sin.
And they
took
their journey
out of the wilderness
of Sin,
and encamped
in Dophkah.
And they
departed
from Dophkah,
and encamped
in Alush.
And they
removed
from Alush,
and encamped
at Rephidim,
where was
no water
for the people
to drink.
And they
departed
from Rephidim,
and pitched
in the wilderness
of Sinai.
And they
removed
from the desert
of Sinai,
and pitched
at Kibrothhattaavah.
And they
departed
from Kibrothhattaavah,
and encamped
at Hazeroth.
And they
departed
from Hazeroth,
and pitched
in Rithmah.
And they
departed
from Rithmah,
and pitched
at Rimmonparez.
And they
departed
from Rimmonparez,
and pitched
in Libnah.
And they
removed
from Libnah,
and pitched
at Rissah.
And
they journeyed
from Rissah,
and pitched
in Kehelathah.
And
they went from Kehelathah,
and pitched
in mount Shapher.
And they
removed
from mount Shapher,
and encamped
in Haradah.
And they
removed
from Haradah,
and pitched
in Makheloth.
And they
removed
from Makheloth,
and encamped
at Tahath.
And they
departed
from Tahath,
and pitched
at Tarah.
And they
removed
from Tarah,
and pitched
in Mithcah.
And
they went from Mithcah,
and pitched
in Hashmonah.
And they
departed
from Hashmonah,
and encamped
at Moseroth.
And they
departed
from Moseroth,
and pitched
in Benejaakan.
And they
removed
from Benejaakan,
and encamped
at Horhagidgad.
And
they went from Horhagidgad,
and pitched
in Jotbathah.
And they
removed
from Jotbathah,
and encamped
at Ebronah.
And they
departed
from Ebronah,
and encamped
at Eziongaber.
And they
removed
from Eziongaber,
and pitched
in the wilderness
of Zin,
which is Kadesh.
And they
removed
from Kadesh,
and pitched
in mount Hor,
in the edge
of the land
of Edom.
And Aaron
the priest
went up
into mount Hor
at the commandment
of the LORD,
and died there,
in the fortieth year
after the children
of Israel
were come
out of the land
of Egypt,
in the first day
of the fifth month.
And Aaron
was an hundred
and twenty
and three years old
when he
died in mount Hor.
And king Arad
the Canaanite,
which dwelt in the south
in the land
of Canaan,
heard
of the coming
of the children
of Israel.
And they
departed
from mount Hor,
and pitched
in Zalmonah.
And they
departed
from Zalmonah,
and pitched
in Punon.
And they
departed
from Punon,
and pitched
in Oboth.
And they
departed
from Oboth,
and pitched
in Ijeabarim,
in the border
of Moab.
And they
departed
from Iim,
and pitched
in Dibongad.
And they
removed
from Dibongad,
and encamped
in Almondiblathaim.
And they
removed
from Almondiblathaim,
and pitched
in the mountains
of Abarim,
before Nebo.
And they
departed
from the mountains
of Abarim,
and pitched
in the plains
of Moab
by Jordan
near Jericho.
And they
pitched
by Jordan,
from Bethjesimoth
even unto Abelshittim
in the plains
of Moab.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
in the plains
of Moab
by Jordan
near Jericho,
saying,
Speak
unto the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
When
ye are passed over Jordan
into the land
of Canaan;
Then ye
shall drive
out all the inhabitants
of the land from
before you,
and destroy all
their pictures,
and destroy all
their molten images,
and quite pluck
down all
their high places:
And
ye shall dispossess
the inhabitants
of the land,
and dwell
therein:
for I
have given
you the land
to possess it.
And
ye shall divide
the land
by lot
for an inheritance
among your families:
and to the more
ye shall give
the more inheritance,
and to the fewer
ye shall give
the less inheritance:
every man's inheritance
shall be
in the place
where his lot falleth;
according to the tribes
of your fathers
ye shall inherit.
But
if ye
will not drive out the inhabitants
of the land from
before you;
then it
shall come
to pass,
that those
which ye let
remain
of them shall be pricks
in your eyes,
and thorns
in your sides,
and shall vex you
in the land
wherein ye dwell.
Moreover it
shall come
to pass,
that I
shall do
unto you,
as I thought
to do unto them.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Command
the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
When
ye come
into the land
of Canaan;
(this is the land
that shall fall
unto you
for an inheritance,
even the land
of Canaan
with the coasts
thereof:)
Then your south
quarter
shall be
from the wilderness
of Zin
along by the coast
of Edom,
and your south
border
shall be
the outmost coast
of the salt sea eastward:
And your border
shall turn from the south
to the ascent
of Akrabbim,
and pass on
to Zin:
and the going
forth thereof shall be
from the south
to Kadeshbarnea,
and shall go on
to Hazaraddar,
and pass on
to Azmon:
And the border
shall fetch
a compass
from Azmon
unto the river
of Egypt,
and the goings
out of it shall be
at the sea.
And
as for the western border,
ye shall even have
the great sea
for a border:
this shall be
your west border.
And this
shall be
your north border:
from the great sea
ye shall point out
for you
mount Hor:
From mount
Hor
ye shall point out
your border
unto the entrance
of Hamath;
and the goings forth
of the border
shall be
to Zedad:
And the border
shall go on
to Ziphron,
and the goings
out of it shall be
at Hazarenan:
this shall be
your north border.
And
ye shall point out
your east border
from Hazarenan
to Shepham:
And the coast
shall go down from Shepham
to Riblah,
on the east side
of Ain;
and the border
shall descend,
and shall reach
unto the side
of the sea
of Chinnereth eastward:
And the border
shall go down
to Jordan,
and the goings
out of it shall be
at the salt sea:
this shall be your land
with the coasts thereof
round about.
And Moses
commanded
the children
of Israel,
saying,
This is the land
which ye
shall inherit
by lot,
which the LORD
commanded
to give
unto the nine tribes,
and
to the half tribe:
For the tribe
of the children
of Reuben
according to
the house
of their fathers,
and the tribe
of the children
of Gad
according to
the house
of their fathers,
have received
their inheritance;
and half
the tribe
of Manasseh
have received
their inheritance:
The two tribes
and the half tribe
have received
their inheritance
on this side Jordan
near Jericho eastward,
toward the sunrising.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
These are the names
of the men
which shall divide
the land
unto you:
Eleazar the priest,
and Joshua
the son
of Nun.
And
ye shall take one prince
of every tribe,
to divide the land
by inheritance.
And the names
of the men
are these:
Of the tribe
of Judah,
Caleb the son
of Jephunneh.
And
of the tribe
of the children
of Simeon,
Shemuel the son
of Ammihud.
Of the tribe
of Benjamin,
Elidad the son
of Chislon.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Dan,
Bukki the son
of Jogli.
The prince
of the children
of Joseph,
for the tribe
of the children
of Manasseh,
Hanniel the son
of Ephod.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Ephraim,
Kemuel the son
of Shiphtan.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Zebulun,
Elizaphan the son
of Parnach.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Issachar,
Paltiel the son
of Azzan.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Asher,
Ahihud the son
of Shelomi.
And the prince
of the tribe
of the children
of Naphtali,
Pedahel the son
of Ammihud.
These are
they
whom
the LORD
commanded
to divide the inheritance
unto the children
of Israel
in the land
of Canaan.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
in the plains
of Moab
by Jordan
near Jericho,
saying,
Command
the children
of Israel,
that they
give unto the Levites
of the inheritance
of their possession cities
to dwell in;
and
ye shall give also
unto the Levites suburbs
for the cities round
about them.
And the cities
shall
they
have to dwell in;
and the suburbs
of them shall be
for their cattle,
and
for their goods,
and
for all their beasts.
And the suburbs
of the cities,
which ye
shall give
unto the Levites,
shall reach
from the wall
of the city
and outward a thousand cubits round about.
And
ye shall measure from
without the city
on the east side
two thousand cubits,
and
on the south side
two thousand cubits,
and
on the west side
two thousand cubits,
and
on the north side
two thousand cubits;
and the city
shall be
in the midst:
this shall be
to them
the suburbs
of the cities.
And
among the cities which
ye shall give
unto the Levites
there shall be
six cities
for refuge,
which ye
shall appoint
for the manslayer,
that he
may flee thither:
and to them
ye shall add forty
and two cities.
So all the cities which
ye shall give
to the Levites
shall be forty
and eight cities:
them shall
ye give
with their suburbs.
And the cities
which ye
shall give
shall be
of the possession
of the children
of Israel:
from them that
have many
ye shall give many;
but from them that
have few
ye shall give few:
every one
shall give
of his cities
unto the Levites
according to his inheritance
which he inheriteth.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Speak
unto the children
of Israel,
and
say unto them,
When
ye be come over Jordan
into the land
of Canaan;
Then
ye shall appoint
you cities
to be cities
of refuge
for you;
that the slayer
may flee thither,
which killeth any person
at unawares.
And they
shall be
unto you cities
for refuge
from the avenger;
that the manslayer
die not,
until he
stand
before the congregation
in judgment.
And
of these cities which
ye shall give
six cities
shall
ye have
for refuge.
Ye shall give three cities
on this side Jordan,
and three cities
shall
ye give
in the land
of Canaan,
which shall be cities
of refuge.
These six cities
shall be
a refuge,
both for the children
of Israel,
and
for the stranger,
and
for the sojourner
among them:
that every one
that
killeth
any person
unawares may flee thither.
And
if he
smite him
with an instrument
of iron,
so that
he die,
he is a murderer:
the murderer
shall surely be put
to death.
And
if he
smite him
with throwing
a stone,
wherewith
he may die,
and he die,
he is a murderer:
the murderer
shall surely be put
to death.
Or if
he smite him
with an hand weapon
of wood,
wherewith
he may die,
and he die,
he is a murderer:
the murderer
shall surely be put
to death.
The revenger
of blood
himself
shall slay
the murderer:
when
he meeteth him,
he shall slay him.
But
if he
thrust him
of hatred,
or hurl at him
by laying
of wait,
that he die;
Or in enmity
smite him
with his hand,
that he die:
he that
smote him
shall surely be put
to death;
for he
is a murderer:
the revenger
of blood
shall slay
the murderer,
when
he meeteth him.
But
if he
thrust him suddenly
without enmity,
or have cast
upon him any thing
without laying
of wait,
Or with any stone,
wherewith a man
may die,
seeing him not,
and cast it
upon him,
that he die,
and was not
his enemy,
neither sought his harm:
Then the congregation
shall judge
between the slayer
and the revenger
of blood
according to these judgments:
And the congregation
shall deliver
the slayer
out of the hand
of the revenger
of blood,
and the congregation
shall restore him
to the city
of his refuge,
whither
he was fled:
and
he shall abide in it
unto the death
of the high priest,
which was anointed
with the holy oil.
But if the slayer
shall at any time come
without the border
of the city
of his refuge,
whither
he was fled;
And the revenger
of blood
find him
without the borders
of the city
of his refuge,
and the revenger
of blood
kill the slayer;
he shall not be guilty
of blood:
Because
he should have remained
in the city
of his refuge
until the death
of the high priest:
but after the death
of the high priest
the slayer
shall return into the land
of his possession.
So these things
shall be
for a statute
of judgment
unto you
throughout your generations
in all your dwellings.
Whoso killeth any person,
the murderer
shall be put
to death
by the mouth
of witnesses:
but one witness
shall not testify
against any person
to cause him
to die.
Moreover ye
shall take no satisfaction
for the life
of a murderer,
which is guilty
of death:
but
he shall be surely put
to death.
And
ye shall take no satisfaction
for him that is fled
to the city
of his refuge,
that he
should come again
to dwell
in the land,
until the death
of the priest.
So ye
shall not pollute
the land
wherein
ye are:
for blood
it defileth the land:
and the land
cannot be cleansed
of the blood
that is
shed therein,
but by the blood
of him that shed it.
Defile not therefore the land
which ye
shall inhabit,
wherein I dwell:
for I
the LORD
dwell
among the children
of Israel.
And the chief fathers
of the families
of the children
of Gilead,
the son
of Machir,
the son
of Manasseh,
of the families
of the sons
of Joseph,
came near,
and spake before Moses,
and
before the princes,
the chief fathers
of the children
of Israel:
And they said,
The LORD
commanded
my lord
to give the land
for an inheritance
by lot
to the children
of Israel:
and my lord
was commanded
by the LORD
to give
the inheritance
of Zelophehad
our brother
unto his daughters.
And
if they
be married
to any of the sons
of the other tribes
of the children
of Israel,
then shall
their inheritance
be taken
from the inheritance
of our fathers,
and shall be put
to the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto
they are received:
so shall
it be taken
from the lot
of our inheritance.
And
when the jubile
of the children
of Israel
shall be,
then shall
their inheritance
be put
unto the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto
they are received:
so shall
their inheritance
be taken away
from the inheritance
of the tribe
of our fathers.
And Moses
commanded
the children
of Israel
according to
the word
of the LORD,
saying,
The tribe
of the sons
of Joseph
hath said well.
This is the thing
which the LORD
doth command
concerning
the daughters
of Zelophehad,
saying,
Let them
marry
to whom
they think best;
only to the family
of the tribe
of their father
shall they marry.
So shall not
the inheritance
of the children
of Israel
remove
from tribe to tribe:
for every one
of the children
of Israel
shall keep himself
to the inheritance
of the tribe
of his fathers.
And every daughter,
that possesseth an inheritance
in any tribe
of the children
of Israel,
shall be wife
unto one
of the family
of the tribe
of her father,
that the children
of Israel
may enjoy every man
the inheritance
of his fathers.
Neither shall
the inheritance
remove
from one tribe
to another tribe;
but every one
of the tribes
of the children
of Israel
shall keep himself
to his own inheritance.
Even as
the LORD
commanded Moses,
so did
the daughters
of Zelophehad:
For Mahlah, Tirzah,
and Hoglah,
and Milcah,
and Noah,
the daughters
of Zelophehad,
were married
unto their father's brothers' sons:
And
they were married
into the families
of the sons
of Manasseh
the son
of Joseph,
and their inheritance
remained
in the tribe
of the family
of their father.
These are the commandments
and the judgments,
which the LORD
commanded
by the hand
of Moses
unto the children
of Israel
in the plains
of Moab
by Jordan
near Jericho.
