CHAPTER 4
¹And the spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,   ²Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,   ³From 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.   ⁴This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:   ⁵And 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:   ⁶And 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.   ⁷And 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:   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And 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:   ¹⁰And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.   ¹¹And 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:   ¹²And 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:   ¹³And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:   ¹⁴And 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.   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶And 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.   ¹⁷And the spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,   ¹⁸Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:   ¹⁹But 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:   ²⁰But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.   ²¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²²Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;

  ³⁰From 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.   ³¹And 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,   ³²And 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.   ³³This 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.   ³⁴And 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,   ³⁵From 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:   ³⁶And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.   ³⁷These 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 by the hand of Moses.   ³⁸And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,   ³⁹From 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,   ⁴⁰Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.   ⁴¹These 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.   ⁴²And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,   ⁴³From 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,   ⁴⁴Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.   ⁴⁵These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the by the hand of Moses.   ⁴⁶All 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,   ⁴⁷From 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,   ⁴⁸Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.   ⁴⁹According to the commandment of the 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 commanded Moses.  

CHAPTER 5
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Command 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:   ³Both 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.   ⁴And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.   ⁵And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁶Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the, and that person be guilty;   ⁷Then 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.   ⁸But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.   ⁹And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.   ¹⁰And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.   ¹¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,   ¹³And 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;   ¹⁴And 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:   ¹⁵Then 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.   ¹⁶And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the:   ¹⁷And 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:   ¹⁸And the priest shall set the woman before the, 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:   ¹⁹And 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:   ²⁰But 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:   ²¹Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;   ²²And 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.   ²³And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:   ²⁴And 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.   ²⁵Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the, and offer it upon the altar:   ²⁶And 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.   ²⁷And 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.   ²⁸And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.   ²⁹This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;   ³⁰Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.   ³¹Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Speak 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:   ³He 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.   ⁴All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.   ⁵All 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, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.   ⁶All the days that he separateth himself unto the he shall come at no dead body.   ⁷He 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.   ⁸All the days of his separation he is holy unto the.   ⁹And 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.   ¹⁰And 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:   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²And he shall consecrate unto the 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.   ¹³And 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:   ¹⁴And he shall offer his offering unto the, 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,   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶And the priest shall bring them before the, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:   ¹⁷And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.   ¹⁸And 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.   ¹⁹And 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:   ²⁰And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.   ²¹This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the 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.   ²²And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²³Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,   ²⁴The bless thee, and keep thee:   ²⁵The make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:   ²⁶The lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.   ²⁷And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.  

CHAPTER 7
¹And 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;   ²That 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:   ³And they brought their offering before the, 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.   ⁴And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁵Take 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.   ⁶And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.   ⁷Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:   ⁸And 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.   ⁹But 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.   ¹⁰And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.   ¹¹And the said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.   ¹²And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:   ¹³And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary;

CHAPTER 8
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.   ³And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the commanded Moses.   ⁴And 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 had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.   ⁵And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁶Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.   ⁷And 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.   ⁸Then 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.   ⁹And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:   ¹⁰And thou shalt bring the Levites before the: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:   ¹¹And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the.   ¹²And 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, to make an atonement for the Levites.   ¹³And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the.   ¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶For 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.   ¹⁷For 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.   ¹⁸And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.   ¹⁹And 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.   ²⁰And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.   ²¹And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.   ²²And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.   ²³And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²⁴This 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:   ²⁵And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:   ²⁶But 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.  

CHAPTER 9
¹And the 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,   ²Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.   ³In 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.   ⁴And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.   ⁵And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.   ⁶And 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:   ⁷And 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 in his appointed season among the children of Israel ?   ⁸And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the will command concerning you.   ⁹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹⁰Speak 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.   ¹¹The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.   ¹²They 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.   ¹³But 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 in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.   ¹⁴And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the; 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.   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.   ¹⁷And 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.   ¹⁸At the commandment of the the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.   ¹⁹And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the, and journeyed not.   ²⁰And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the they journeyed.   ²¹And 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.   ²²Or 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.   ²³At the commandment of the they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the they journeyed: they kept the charge of the, at the commandment of the by the hand of Moses.  

CHAPTER 10
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Make 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.   ³And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.   ⁴And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.   ⁵When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.   ⁶When 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.   ⁷But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And 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 your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.   ¹⁰Also 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 your God.   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.   ¹³And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the by the hand of Moses.   ¹⁴In 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.   ¹⁵And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.   ¹⁶And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.   ¹⁷And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.   ¹⁸And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.   ¹⁹And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.   ²⁰And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.   ²¹And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.   ²²And 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.   ²³And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.   ²⁴And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.   ²⁵And 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.   ²⁶And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.   ²⁷And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.   ²⁸Thus the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.   ²⁹And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the hath spoken good concerning Israel.   ³⁰And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.   ³¹And 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.   ³²And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.   ³³And they departed from the mount of the three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.   ³⁴And the cloud of the was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.   ³⁵And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up,, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.   ³⁶And when it rested, he said, Return, O, unto the many thousands of Israel.  

CHAPTER 11
¹And when the people complained, it displeased the: and the heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.   ²And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the, the fire was quenched.   ³And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the burnt among them.   ⁴And 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 ?   ⁵We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:   ⁶But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.   ⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.   ¹⁰Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.   ¹¹And Moses said unto the, 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?   ¹²Have 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 ?   ¹³Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people ? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.   ¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶And the 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.   ¹⁷And 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.   ¹⁸And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat ? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.   ¹⁹Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;   ²⁰But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt ?   ²¹And 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.   ²²Shall 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?   ²³And the said unto Moses, Is the hand waxed short ? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.   ²⁴And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.   ²⁵And the 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.   ²⁶But 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.   ²⁷And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.   ²⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.   ²⁹And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the people were prophets, and that the would put his spirit upon them!   ³⁰And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.   ³¹And there went forth a wind from the, 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.   ³²And 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.   ³³And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the was kindled against the people, and the smote the people with a very great plague.   ³⁴And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.   ³⁵And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.  

CHAPTER 12
¹And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.   ²And they said, Hath the indeed spoken only by Moses ? hath he not spoken also by us? And the heard it.   ³( Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)   ⁴And the 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.   ⁵And the 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.   ⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.   ⁷My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.   ⁸With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses ?   ⁹And the anger of the was kindled against them; and he departed.   ¹⁰And 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.   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.   ¹³And Moses cried unto the, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.   ¹⁴And the 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.   ¹⁵And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.   ¹⁶And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.  

CHAPTER 13
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Send 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.   ³And Moses by the commandment of the sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men heads of the children of Israel.   ⁴And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.   ⁵Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.   ⁶Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.   ⁷Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.   ⁸Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.   ⁹Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.   ¹⁰Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.   ¹¹Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.   ¹²Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.   ¹³Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.   ¹⁴Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.   ¹⁵Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.   ¹⁶These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.   ¹⁷And 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:   ¹⁸And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;   ¹⁹And 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;   ²⁰And 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.   ²¹So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.   ²²And 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.)   ²³And 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.   ²⁴The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.   ²⁵And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.   ²⁶And 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.   ²⁷And 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.   ²⁸Nevertheless 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.   ²⁹The 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.   ³⁰And 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.   ³¹But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.   ³²And 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.   ³³And 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.  

CHAPTER 14
¹And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.   ²And 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 !   ³And wherefore hath the 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 ?   ⁴And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.   ⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.   ⁶And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:   ⁷And 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.   ⁸If the delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.   ⁹Only rebel not ye against the, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the is with us: fear them not.   ¹⁰But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.   ¹¹And the 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?   ¹²I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.   ¹³And Moses said unto the, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, ( for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)   ¹⁴And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou art among this people, that thou 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.   ¹⁵Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,   ¹⁶Because the was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.   ¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,   ¹⁸The 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.   ¹⁹Pardon, 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.   ²⁰And the said, I have pardoned according to thy word:   ²¹But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the.   ²²Because 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;   ²³Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:   ²⁴But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.   ²⁵( Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.   ²⁶And the spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,   ²⁷How 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.   ²⁸Say unto them, I live, saith the, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:   ²⁹Your 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,   ³⁰Doubtless 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.   ³¹But 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.   ³²But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.   ³³And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.   ³⁴After 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.   ³⁵I the 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.   ³⁶And 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,   ³⁷Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the.   ³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.   ³⁹And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.   ⁴⁰And 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 hath promised: for we have sinned.   ⁴¹And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the ? but it shall not prosper.   ⁴²Go not up, for the is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.   ⁴³For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the, therefore the will not be with you.   ⁴⁴But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.   ⁴⁵Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.  

CHAPTER 15
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,   ³And will make an offering by fire unto the, 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, of the herd, or of the flock:   ⁴Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.   ⁵And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.   ⁶Or 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.   ⁷And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the.   ⁸And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the:   ⁹Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.   ¹⁰And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the.   ¹¹Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.   ¹²According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.   ¹³All 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.   ¹⁴And 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; as ye do, so he shall do.   ¹⁵One 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.   ¹⁶One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.   ¹⁷And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹⁸Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,   ¹⁹Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the.   ²⁰Ye 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.   ²¹Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the an heave offering in your generations.   ²²And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the hath spoken unto Moses,   ²³Even all that the hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;   ²⁴Then 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, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.   ²⁵And 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, and their sin offering before the, for their ignorance:   ²⁶And 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.   ²⁷And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.   ²⁸And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.   ²⁹Ye 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.   ³⁰But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.   ³¹Because he hath despised the word of the, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.   ³²And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.   ³³And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.   ³⁴And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.   ³⁵And the said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.   ³⁶And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the commanded Moses.   ³⁷And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ³⁸Speak 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:   ³⁹And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:   ⁴⁰That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.   ⁴¹I am the your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the your God.  

CHAPTER 16
¹Now 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:   ²And 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:   ³And 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 is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the ?   ⁴And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:   ⁵And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the 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.   ⁶This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;   ⁷And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.   ⁸And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:   ⁹Seemeth 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, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?   ¹⁰And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?   ¹¹For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?   ¹²And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:   ¹³Is 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?   ¹⁴Moreover 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.   ¹⁵And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.   ¹⁶And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:   ¹⁷And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.   ¹⁸And 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.   ¹⁹And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the appeared unto all the congregation.   ²⁰And the spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,   ²¹Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.   ²²And 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 ?   ²³And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²⁴Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.   ²⁵And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.   ²⁶And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.   ²⁷So 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.   ²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.   ²⁹If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the hath not sent me.   ³⁰But if the 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.   ³¹And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:   ³²And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.   ³³They, 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.   ³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.   ³⁵And there came out a fire from the, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.   ³⁶And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ³⁷Speak 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.   ³⁸The 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, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.   ³⁹And 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:   ⁴⁰To 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; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the said to him by the hand of Moses.   ⁴¹But 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.   ⁴²And 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 appeared.   ⁴³And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.   ⁴⁴And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁴⁵Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.   ⁴⁶And 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; the plague is begun.   ⁴⁷And 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.   ⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.   ⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.   ⁵⁰And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.  

CHAPTER 17
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Speak 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.   ³And 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.   ⁴And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.   ⁵And 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.   ⁶And 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.   ⁷And Moses laid up the rods before the in the tabernacle of witness.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And Moses brought out all the rods from before the unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.   ¹⁰And the 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.   ¹¹And Moses did so: as the commanded him, so did he.   ¹²And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.   ¹³Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the shall die: shall we be consumed with dying ?  

CHAPTER 18
¹And the 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.   ²And 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.   ³And 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.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵And 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.   ⁶And 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, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.   ⁷Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.   ⁸And the 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.   ⁹This 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.   ¹⁰In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²All 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, them have I given thee.   ¹³And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.   ¹⁴Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.   ¹⁵Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the, 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.   ¹⁶And 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.   ¹⁷But 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.   ¹⁸And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.   ¹⁹All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the, 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 unto thee and to thy seed with thee.   ²⁰And the 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.   ²¹And, 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.   ²²Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.   ²³But 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.   ²⁴But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.   ²⁵And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²⁶Thus 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, even a tenth part of the tithe.   ²⁷And 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.   ²⁸Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the heave offering to Aaron the priest.   ²⁹Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.   ³⁰Therefore 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.   ³¹And 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.   ³²And 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.  

CHAPTER 19
¹And the spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,   ²This is the ordinance of the law which the 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:   ³And 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:   ⁴And 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:   ⁵And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:   ⁶And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.   ⁷Then 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.   ⁸And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.   ⁹And 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.   ¹⁰And 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.   ¹¹He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.   ¹²He 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.   ¹³Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the; 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.   ¹⁴This 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.   ¹⁵And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.   ¹⁶And 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.   ¹⁷And 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:   ¹⁸And 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:   ¹⁹And 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.   ²⁰But 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: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.   ²¹And 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.   ²²And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.  

CHAPTER 20
¹Then 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.   ²And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.   ³And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the !   ⁴And why have ye brought up the congregation of the into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?   ⁵And 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.   ⁶And 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 appeared unto them.   ⁷And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁸Take 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.   ⁹And Moses took the rod from before the, as he commanded him.   ¹⁰And 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 ?   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²And the 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.   ¹³This the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the, and he was sanctified in them.   ¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:   ¹⁵How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:   ¹⁶And when we cried unto the, 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:   ¹⁷Let 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.   ¹⁸And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.   ¹⁹And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.   ²⁰And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.   ²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.   ²²And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.   ²³And the spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,   ²⁴Aaron 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.   ²⁵Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:   ²⁶And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.   ²⁷And Moses did as the commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.   ²⁸And 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.   ²⁹And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.  

CHAPTER 21
¹And 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.   ²And Israel vowed a vow unto the, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.   ³And the 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.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵And 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.   ⁶And the sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.   ⁷Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the, and against thee; pray unto the, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.   ⁸And the 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.   ⁹And 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.   ¹⁰And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.   ¹¹And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.   ¹²From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.   ¹³From 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.   ¹⁴Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,   ¹⁵And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.   ¹⁶And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.   ¹⁷Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:   ¹⁸The 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:   ¹⁹And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:   ²⁰And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.   ²¹And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,   ²²Let 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.   ²³And 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.   ²⁴And 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.   ²⁵And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.   ²⁶For 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.   ²⁷Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:   ²⁸For 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.   ²⁹Woe 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.   ³⁰We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.   ³¹Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.   ³²And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.   ³³And 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.   ³⁴And the 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.   ³⁵So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.  

CHAPTER 22
¹And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.   ²And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.   ³And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵He 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:   ⁶Come 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.   ⁷And 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.   ⁸And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.   ⁹And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?   ¹⁰And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,   ¹¹Behold, 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.   ¹²And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.   ¹³And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the refuseth to give me leave to go with you.   ¹⁴And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.   ¹⁵And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.   ¹⁶And 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:   ¹⁷For 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.   ¹⁸And 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 my God, to do less or more.   ¹⁹Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the will say unto me more.   ²⁰And 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.   ²¹And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.   ²²And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.   ²³And the ass saw the angel of the 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.   ²⁴But the angel of the stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.   ²⁵And when the ass saw the angel of the, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.   ²⁶And the angel of the went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.   ²⁷And when the ass saw the angel of the, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.   ²⁸And the 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 ?   ²⁹And 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.   ³⁰And 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.   ³¹Then the opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.   ³²And the angel of the 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:   ³³And 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.   ³⁴And Balaam said unto the angel of the, 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.   ³⁵And the angel of the 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.   ³⁶And 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.   ³⁷And 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 ?   ³⁸And 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.   ³⁹And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.   ⁴⁰And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.   ⁴¹And 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.  

CHAPTER 23
¹And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.   ²And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.   ³And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵And the put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.   ⁶And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.   ⁷And 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.   ⁸How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed ? or how shall I defy, whom the hath not defied ?   ⁹For 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.   ¹⁰Who 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!   ¹¹And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.   ¹²And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the hath put in my mouth ?   ¹³And 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.   ¹⁴And 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.   ¹⁵And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the yonder.   ¹⁶And the met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.   ¹⁷And 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 spoken ?   ¹⁸And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:   ¹⁹God 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 ?   ²⁰Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.   ²¹He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.   ²²God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.   ²³Surely 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 !   ²⁴Behold, 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.   ²⁵And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.   ²⁶But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the speaketh, that I must do ?   ²⁷And 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.   ²⁸And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.   ²⁹And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.   ³⁰And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.  

CHAPTER 24
¹And when Balaam saw that it pleased the to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.   ²And 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.   ³And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:   ⁴He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:   ⁵How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel !   ⁶As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.   ⁷He 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.   ⁸God 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.   ⁹He 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.   ¹⁰And 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.   ¹¹Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the hath kept thee back from honour.   ¹²And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,   ¹³If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the saith, that will I speak ?   ¹⁴And 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.   ¹⁵And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:   ¹⁶He 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:   ¹⁷I 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.   ¹⁸And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.   ¹⁹Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.   ²⁰And 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.   ²¹And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.   ²²Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.   ²³And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!   ²⁴And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.   ²⁵And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.  

CHAPTER 25
¹And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.   ²And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.   ³And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the was kindled against Israel.   ⁴And the said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the against the sun, that the fierce anger of the may be turned away from Israel.   ⁵And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.   ⁶And, 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.   ⁷And 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;   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.   ¹⁰And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹¹Phinehas, 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.   ¹²Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:   ¹³And 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.   ¹⁴Now 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.   ¹⁵And 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.   ¹⁶And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹⁷Vex the Midianites, and smite them:   ¹⁸For 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.  

CHAPTER 26
¹And it came to pass after the plague, that the spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,   ²Take 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.   ³And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,   ⁴Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.   ⁵Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:   ⁶Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.   ⁷These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.   ⁸And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.   ⁹And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.

Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.   ⁵And Moses brought their cause before the.   ⁶And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ⁷The 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.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.   ¹⁰And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.   ¹¹And 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 commanded Moses.   ¹²And the said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.   ¹³And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.   ¹⁴For 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.   ¹⁵And Moses spake unto the, saying,   ¹⁶Let the, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,   ¹⁷Which 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 be not as sheep which have no shepherd.   ¹⁸And the said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;   ¹⁹And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.   ²⁰And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.   ²¹And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the: 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.   ²²And Moses did as the commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:   ²³And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the commanded by the hand of Moses.  

CHAPTER 28
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Command 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.   ³And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.   ⁴The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;   ⁵And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.   ⁶It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the.   ⁷And 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 for a drink offering.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And 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:   ¹⁰This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.   ¹¹And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;   ¹²And 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;   ¹³And 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.   ¹⁴And 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.   ¹⁵And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.   ¹⁶And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the.   ¹⁷And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.   ¹⁸In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:   ¹⁹But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:   ²⁰And 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;   ²¹A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:   ²²And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.   ²³Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.   ²⁴After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.   ²⁵And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.   ²⁶Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:   ²⁷But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;   ²⁸And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,   ²⁹A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;   ³⁰And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.   ³¹Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, ( they shall be unto you without blemish ) and their drink offerings.

CHAPTER 30
¹And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the hath commanded.   ²If a man vow a vow unto the, 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.   ³If a woman also vow a vow unto the, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;   ⁴And 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.   ⁵But 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 shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.   ⁶And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;   ⁷And 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.   ⁸But 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 shall forgive her.   ⁹But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.   ¹⁰And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;   ¹¹And 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.   ¹²But 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 shall forgive her.   ¹³Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.   ¹⁴But 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.   ¹⁵But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.   ¹⁶These are the statutes, which the commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.  

CHAPTER 31
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.   ³And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the of Midian.   ⁴Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.   ⁵So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.   ⁶And 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.   ⁷And they warred against the Midianites, as the commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And 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.   ¹⁰And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.   ¹¹And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.   ¹²And 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.   ¹³And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.   ¹⁴And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.   ¹⁵And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive ?   ¹⁶Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the.   ¹⁷Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.   ¹⁸But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.   ¹⁹And 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.   ²⁰And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.   ²¹And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the commanded Moses;   ²²Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,   ²³Every 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.   ²⁴And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.   ²⁵And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²⁶Take 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:   ²⁷And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:   ²⁸And levy a tribute unto the 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:   ²⁹Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the.   ³⁰And 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.   ³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the commanded Moses.   ³²And 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,   ³³And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,   ³⁴And threescore and one thousand asses,   ³⁵And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.   ³⁶And 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:   ³⁷And the tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.   ³⁸And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the tribute was threescore and twelve.   ³⁹And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the tribute was threescore and one.   ⁴⁰And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the tribute was thirty and two persons.   ⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute, which was the heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the commanded Moses.   ⁴²And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,   ⁴³( Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,   ⁴⁴And thirty and six thousand beeves,   ⁴⁵And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,   ⁴⁶And sixteen thousand persons;)   ⁴⁷Even 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; as the commanded Moses.   ⁴⁸And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:   ⁴⁹And 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.   ⁵⁰We have therefore brought an oblation for the, 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.   ⁵¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.   ⁵²And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.   ⁵³( For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)   ⁵⁴And 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.  

CHAPTER 32
¹Now 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;   ²The 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,   ³Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,   ⁴Even the country which the smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:   ⁵Wherefore, 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.   ⁶And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?   ⁷And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the hath given them?   ⁸Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.   ⁹For 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 had given them.   ¹⁰And the anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,   ¹¹Surely 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:   ¹²Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the.   ¹³And the 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, was consumed.   ¹⁴And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the toward Israel.   ¹⁵For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.   ¹⁶And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:   ¹⁷But 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.   ¹⁸We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.   ¹⁹For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.   ²⁰And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the to war,   ²¹And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,   ²²And the land be subdued before the: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the.   ²³But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the: and be sure your sin will find you out.   ²⁴Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.   ²⁵And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.   ²⁶Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:   ²⁷But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the to battle, as my lord saith.   ²⁸So 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:   ²⁹And 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, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:   ³⁰But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.   ³¹And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.   ³²We will pass over armed before the into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.   ³³And 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.   ³⁴And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,   ³⁵And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,   ³⁶And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.   ³⁷And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,   ³⁸And Nebo, and Baal-meon, ( their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.   ³⁹And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.   ⁴⁰And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.   ⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.   ⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.  

CHAPTER 33
¹These 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.   ²And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.   ³And 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.   ⁴For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the had smitten among them: upon their gods also the executed judgments.   ⁵And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.   ⁶And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.   ⁷And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.   ⁸And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.   ⁹And 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.   ¹⁰And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.   ¹¹And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.   ¹²And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.   ¹³And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.   ¹⁴And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.   ¹⁵And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.   ¹⁶And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.   ¹⁷And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.   ¹⁸And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.   ¹⁹And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.   ²⁰And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.   ²¹And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.   ²²And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.   ²³And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.   ²⁴And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.   ²⁵And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.   ²⁶And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.   ²⁷And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.   ²⁸And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.   ²⁹And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.   ³⁰And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.   ³¹And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.   ³²And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.   ³³And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.   ³⁴And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.   ³⁵And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.   ³⁶And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.   ³⁷And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.   ³⁸And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the, 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.   ³⁹And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.   ⁴⁰And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.   ⁴¹And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.   ⁴²And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.   ⁴³And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.   ⁴⁴And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab.   ⁴⁵And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.   ⁴⁶And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.   ⁴⁷And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.   ⁴⁸And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.   ⁴⁹And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.   ⁵⁰And the spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,   ⁵¹Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;   ⁵²Then 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:   ⁵³And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.   ⁵⁴And 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.   ⁵⁵But 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.   ⁵⁶Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.  

CHAPTER 34
¹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ²Command 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:)   ³Then 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:   ⁴And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:   ⁵And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.   ⁶And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.   ⁷And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:   ⁸From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:   ⁹And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.   ¹⁰And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:   ¹¹And 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:   ¹²And 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.   ¹³And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:   ¹⁴For 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:   ¹⁵The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.   ¹⁶And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹⁷These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.   ¹⁸And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.   ¹⁹And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.   ²⁰And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.   ²¹Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.   ²²And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.   ²³The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.   ²⁴And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.   ²⁵And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.   ²⁶And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.   ²⁷And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.   ²⁸And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.   ²⁹These are they whom the commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.  

CHAPTER 35
¹And the spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,   ²Command 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.   ³And 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.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵And 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.   ⁶And 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.   ⁷So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹And the spake unto Moses, saying,   ¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;   ¹¹Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.   ¹²And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.   ¹³And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.   ¹⁴Ye 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.   ¹⁵These 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.   ¹⁶And 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.   ¹⁷And 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.   ¹⁸Or 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.   ¹⁹The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.   ²⁰But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;   ²¹Or 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.   ²²But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,   ²³Or 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:   ²⁴Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:   ²⁵And 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.   ²⁶But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;   ²⁷And 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:   ²⁸Because 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.   ²⁹So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.   ³⁰Whoso 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.   ³¹Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.   ³²And 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.   ³³So 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.   ³⁴Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the dwell among the children of Israel.  

CHAPTER 36
¹And 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:   ²And they said, The commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.   ³And 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.   ⁴And 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.   ⁵And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.   ⁶This is the thing which the 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.   ⁷So 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.   ⁸And 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.   ⁹Neither 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.   ¹⁰Even as the commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:   ¹¹For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:   ¹²And 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.   ¹³These are the commandments and the judgments, which the commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
