sanctified things among the children of Israel, whatsoever they shall
offer to the Lord, shall be for the priest himself.
5.10 And the hallowed things of every man shall be
his; and whatever man shall give [any thing] to the priest, the gift
shall be his.
5.11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
5.12 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Whose soever wife shall transgress against him, and slight
and despise him,
5.13 and [supposing] any one shall lie with her
carnally, and the thing shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and
she should conceal it and be herself defiled, and there be no witness
with her, and she should not be taken;
5.14 and there should come upon him a spirit of
jealousy, and he should be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or
there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be
jealous of his wife, and she should not be defiled;
5.15 then shall the man bring his wife to the priest,
and shall bring his gift for her, the tenth part of an ephah of
barley-meal: he shall not pour oil upon it, neither shall he put
frankincense upon it; for it is a sacrifice of jealousy, a sacrifice of
memorial, recalling sin to remembrance.
5.16 And the priest shall bring her, and cause her to stand before the Lord.
5.17 And the priest shall take pure running water in
an earthen vessel, and he shall take of the dust that is on the floor
of the tabernacle of witness, and the priest having taken it shall cast
it into the water.
5.18 And the priest shall cause the woman to stand
before the Lord, and shall uncover the head of the woman, and shall put
into her hands the sacrifice of memorial, the sacrifice of jealousy;
and in the hand of the priest shall be the water of this conviction
that brings the curse.
5.19 And the priest shall adjure her, and shall say
to the woman, If no one has lain with thee, and if thou hast not
transgressed so as to be polluted, being under the power of thy
husband, be free from this water of the conviction that causes the
curse.
5.20 But if being a married woman thou hast
transgressed, or been polluted, and any one has lain with thee, beside
thy husband:
5.21 then the priest shall adjure the woman by the
oaths of this curse, and the priest shall say to the woman, The Lord
bring thee into a curse and under an oath in the idst of thy people, in
that the Lord should cause thy thigh to rot and thy belly to swell;
5.22 and this water bringing the curse shall enter
into thy womb to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. And
the woman shall say, So be it, So be it.
5.23 And the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and shall blot them out with the water of the conviction that
brings the curse.
5.24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the water
of the conviction that brings the curse; and the water of the
conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her.
5.25 And the priest shall take from the hand of the
woman the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall present the sacrifice before
the Lord, and shall bring it to the altar.
5.26 And the priest shall take a handful of the
sacrifice as a memorial of it, and shall offer it up upon the altar;
and afterwards he shall cause the woman to drink the water.
5.27 And it shall come to pass, if she be defiled,
and have altogether escaped the notice of her husband, then the water
of the conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her; and she
shall swell in her belly, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall
be for a curse in the midst of her people.
5.28 But if the woman have not been polluted, and be
clean, then shall she be guiltless and shall conceive seed.
5.29 This is the law of jealousy, wherein a married woman should happen to transgress, and be defiled;
5.30 or in the case of a man on whomsoever the spirit
of jealousy should come, and he should be jealous of his wife, and he
should place his wife before the Lord, and the priest shall execute
towards her all this law.
5.31 Then the man shall be clear from sin, and that woman shall bear her sin.
6.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.2 speak to the children of Israel, and thou
shalt say to them, Whatsoever man or woman shall specially vow a vow to
separate oneself with purity to the Lord,
6.3 he shall purely abstain from wine and
strong drink; and he shall drink no vinegar of wine or vinegar of
strong drink; and whatever is made of the grape he shall not drink;
neither shall he eat fresh grapes or raisins,
6.4 all the days of his vow: he shall eat no
one of all the things that come from the vine, wine from the
grape-stones to the husk,
6.5 all the days of his separation:-- a razor
shall not come upon his head, until the days be fulfilled which he
vowed to the Lord: he shall be holy, cherishing the long hair of the
head,
6.6 all the days of his vow to the Lord: he shall not come nigh to any dead body,
6.7 to his father or his mother, or to his
brother or his sister; he shall not defile himself for them, when they
have died, because the vow of God is upon him on his head.
6.8 All the days of his vow he shall be holy to the Lord.
6.9 And if any one should die suddenly by him,
immediately the head of his vow shall be defiled; and he shall shave
his head in whatever day he shall be purified: on the seventh day he
shall be shaved.
6.10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the doors of the
tabernacle of witness.
6.11 And the priest shall offer one for a
sin-offering; and the other for a whole-burnt-offering; and the priest
shall make atonement for him in the things wherein he sinned respecting
the dead body, and he shall sanctify his head in that day,
6.12 in which he was consecrated to the Lord, [all]
the days of his vow; and he shall bring a lamb of a year old for a
trespass-offering; and the former days shall not be reckoned, because
the head of his vow was polluted.
6.13 And this is the law of him that has vowed: in
whatever day he shall have fulfilled the days of his vow, he shall
himself bring his gift to the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
6.14 And he shall bring his gift to the Lord; one
he-lamb of a year old without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering, and
one ewe-lamb of a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one
ram without blemish for a peace-offering;
6.15 and a basket of unleavened bread of fine flour,
[even] loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil,
and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering.
6.16 And the priest shall bring them before the Lord,
and shall offer his sin-offering, and his whole-burnt-offering.
6.17 And he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of
peace-offering to the Lord with the basket of unleavened bread; and the
priest shall offer its meat-offering and its drink-offering.
6.18 And he that has vowed shall shave the head of
his consecration by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall
put the hairs on the fire which is under the sacrifice of
peace-offering.
6.19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of
the ram, and one unleavened loaf from the basket, and one unleavened
cake, and shall put them on the hands of the votary after he has shaved
off his holy hair.
6.20 And the priest shall present them as an offering
before the Lord; it shall be the holy portion for the priest beside the
breast of the heave-offering and beside the shoulder of the
wave-offering: and afterwards the votary shall drink wine.
6.21 This is the law of the votary who shall have
vowed to the Lord his gift to the Lord, concerning his vow, besides
what he may be able to afford according to the value of his vow, which
he may have vowed according to the law of separation.
6.22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,
6.24 The Lord bless thee and keep thee;
6.25 the Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and have mercy upon thee;
6.26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
6.27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I the Lord will bless them.
7.1
And it came to pass in the day in which Moses finished the setting-up
of the tabernacle, that he anointed it, and consecrated it, and all its
furniture, and the altar and all its furniture, he even anointed them,
and consecrated them.
7.2 And the princes of Israel brought [gifts],
twelve princes of their fathers' houses: these were te heads of tribes,
these are they that presided over the numbering.
7.3 And they brought their gift before the
Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a waggon from two princes,
and a calf from each: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
7.4 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
7.5 Take of them, and they shall be for the
works of the services of the tabernacle of witness: and thou shalt give
them to the Levites, to each one according to his ministration.
7.6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7.7 And he gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gedson, according to their ministrations.
7.8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to
the sons of Merari according to their ministrations, by Ithamar the son
of Aaron the priest.
7.9 But to the sons of Caath he gave them not,
because they have the ministrations of the sacred things: they shall
bear them on their shoulders.
7.10 And the rulers brought [gifts] for the
dedication of the altar, in the day in which he anointed it, and the
rulers brought their gifts before the altar.
7.11 And the Lord said to Moses, One chief each day,
they shall offer their gifts a chief each day for the dedication of the
altar.

and each bowl of seventy shekels: all the silver of the vessels [was]

7.87 All the cattle for whole-burnt-offerings, twelve

7.88 All the cattle for a sacrifice of
peace-offering, twenty-four heifers, sixty rams, sixty he-goats of a
year old, sixty ewe-lambs of a year old without blemish: this is the
dedication of the altar, after that [Moses] consecrated [Aaron], and
after he anointed him.
7.89 When Moses went into the tabernacle of witness
to speak to God, then he heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him
from off the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark of the testimony,
between the two cherubs; and he spoke to him.
8.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8.2 Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him,
Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give
light opposite the candlestick.
8.3 And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the
candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
8.4 And this [is] the construction of the
candlestick: [it is] solid, golden-- its stem, and its lilies-- all
solid: according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses, so he made
the candlestick.
8.5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8.6 Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them.
8.7 And thus shalt thou perform their
purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and
a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash
their garments, and shall be clean.
8.8 And they shall take one calf of the herd,
and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take
a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
8.9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the
tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of
the sons of Israel.
8.10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the
Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
8.11 And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift
before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared
to perform the works of the Lord.
8.12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the
heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and
the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for
them.
8.13 And thou shalt set the Levites before the Lord,
and before Aaron, and before his sons; and thou shalt give them as a
gift before the Lord.
8.14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, ad they shall be mine.
8.15 And afterwards the Levites shall go in to
perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify
them, and present them before the Lord.
8.16 For these are given to me for a present out of
the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself
instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel that open every
womb.
8.17 For every first-born among the children of
Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote
every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
8.18 And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children of Israel.
8.19 And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to
Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do
the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and
to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none
among the sons of Israel to draw nigh to the holy things.
8.20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses
concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
8.21 So the Levites purified themselves and washed
their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and
Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
8.22 And afterwards the Levites went in to minister
in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before
his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they
did to them.
8.23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8.24 This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From
five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in
the tabernacle of witness.
8.25 And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
8.26 And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of
witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shalt thou do to
the Levites in their charges.
9.1
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina in the second
year after they had gone forth from the land of Egypt, in the first
month, saying,
9.2 Speak, and let the children of Israel keep the passover in its season.
9.3 On the fourteenth day of the first month at
even, thou shalt keep it in its season; thou shalt keep it according to
its law, and according to its ordinance.
9.4 And Moses ordered the children of Israel to sacrifice the passover,
9.5 on the fourteenth day of the first month in
the wilderness of Sina, as the Lord appointed Moses, so the children of
Israel did.
9.6 And there came men who were unclean by
reason of a dead body, and they were not able to keep the passover on
that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
9.7 And those men said to Moses, We are unclean
by reason of the dead body of a man: shall we therefore fail to offer
the gift to the Lord in its season in the midst of the children of
Israel?
9.8 And Moses said to them, stand there, and I will hear what charge the Lord will give concerning you.
9.9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
9.10 Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Whatever man shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or on a journey
far off, among you, or among your posterity; he shall then keep the
passover to the Lord,
9.11 in the second month, on the fourteenth day; in
the evening they shall offer it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs
shall they eat it.
9.12 They shall not leave of it until the morrow, and
they shall not break a bone of it; they shall sacrifice it according to
the ordinance of the passover.
9.13 And whatsoever man shall be clean, and is not
far off on a journey, and shall fail to keep the passover, that soul
shall be cut off from his people, because he has not offered the gift
to the Lord in its season: that man shall bear his iniquity.
9.14 And if there should come to you a stranger in
your land, and should keep the passover to the Lord, he shall keep it
according to the law of the passover and according to its ordinance:
there shall be one law for you, both for the stranger, and for the
native of the land.
9.15 And in the day in which the tabernacle was
pitched the cloud covered the tabernacle, the place of the testimony;
and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of
fire till the morning.
9.16 So it was continually: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
9.17 And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle,
then after that the children of Israel departed; and in whatever place
the cloud rested, there the children of Israel encamped.
9.18 The children of Israel shall encamp by the
command of the Lord, and by the command of the Lord they shall remove:
all the days in which the cloud overshadows the tabernacle, the
children of Israel shall encamp.
9.19 And whenever the cloud shall be drawn over the
tabernacle for many days, then the children of Israel shall keep the
charge of God, and they shall not remove.
9.20 And it shall be, whenever the cloud overshadows
the tabernacle a number of days, they shall encamp by the word of the
Lord, and shall remove by the command of the Lord.
9.21 And it shall come to pass, whenever the cloud
shall remain from the evening till the morning, and in the morning the
cloud shall go up, then shall they remove by day or by night.
9.22 When the cloud continues a full month
overshadowing the tabernacle, the children of Israel shall encamp, and
shall not depart.
9.23 For they shall depart by the command of the
Lord:-- they kept the charge of the Lord by the command of the Lord by
the hand of Moses.
10.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
10.2 Make to thyself two silver trumpets: thou shalt
make them of beaten work; and they shall be to thee for the purpose of
calling the assembly, and of removing the camps.
10.3 And thou shalt sound with them, and all the
congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness.
10.4 And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to thee.
10.5 And ye shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move.
10.6 And ye shall sound a second alarm, and the camps
pitched southward shall move; and ye shall sound a third alarm, and the
camps pitched westward shall move forward; and ye shall sound a fourth
alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they
shall sound an alarm at their departure.
10.7 And whenever ye shall gather the assembly, ye shall sound, but not an alarm.
10.8 And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound
with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you
throughout your generations.
10.9 And if ye shall go forth to war in your land
against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall ye sound with
the trumpets; and ye shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and
ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10.10 And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts,
and in your new moons, ye shall sound with the trumpets at your
whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings;
and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I [am] the Lord
your God.
10.11 And it came to pass in the second year, in the second
month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the
tabernacle of witness.
10.12 And the children of Israel set forward with their
baggage in the wilderness of Sina; and the cloud rested in the
wilderness of Pharan.
10.13 And the first rank departed by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
10.14 And they first set in motion the order of the camp of
the children of Juda with their host; and over their host [was]
Naasson, son of Aminadab.
10.15 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, [was] Nathanael son of Sogar.
10.16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zabulon, [was] Eliab the son of Chaelon.
10.17 And they shall take down the tabernacle, and the sons
of Gedson shall set forward, and the sons of Merari, who bear the
tabernacle.
10.18 And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with
their host; and over their host [was] Elisur the son of Sediur.
10.19 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Symeon, [was] Salamiel son of Surisadai.
10.20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad, [was] Elisaph the son of Raguel.
10.21 And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the
holy things, and [the others] shall set up the tabernacle until they
arrive.
10.22 And the order of the camp of Ephraim shall set
forward with their forces; and over their forces [was] Elisama the son
of Semiud.
10.23 And over the forces of the tribes of the sons of Manasse, [was] Gamaliel the [son] of Phadassur.
10.24 And over the forces of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, [was] Abidan the [son] of Gadeoni.
10.25 And the order of the camp of the sons of Dan shall
set forward the last of all the camps, with their forces: and over
their forces [was] Achiezer the [son] of Amisadai.
10.26 And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Aser, [was] Phageel the son of Echran.
10.27 And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Nephthali, [was] Achire the son of Aenan.
10.28 These [are] the armies of the children of Israel; and they set forward with their forces.
10.29 And Moses said to Obab the son of Raguel the
Madianite, the father-in-law of Moses, We are going forward to the
place concerning which the Lord said, This will I give to you: Come
with us, and we will do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good
concerning Israel.
10.30 And he said to him, I will not go, but [I will go] to my land and to my kindred.
10.31 And he said, Leave us not, because thou hast been
with us in the wilderness, and thou shalt be an elder among us.
10.32 And it shall come to pass if thou wilt go with us, it
shall even come to pass that in whatsoever things the Lord shall do us
good, we will also do thee good.
10.33 And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three
days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them
a three days' journey to provide rest for them.
10.34 And the cloud overshadowed them by day, when they departed from the camp.
10.35 And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that
Moses said, Arise, O Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered: let all
that hate thee flee.
10.36 And in the resting he said, Turn again, O Lord, the thousands [and] tens of thousands in Israel.
11.1
And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard
[them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the
Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
11.2 And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
11.3 And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled among them from the Lord.
11.4 And the mixed multitude among them lusted
exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
11.5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt
freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the
garlic, and the onions.
11.6 But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
11.7 And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoar-frost.
11.8 And the people went through the field, and
gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and
baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as
the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
11.9 And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
11.10 And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every
one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in
the sight of Moses.
11.11 And Moses said to the Lord, Why hast thou afflicted
thy servant, and why have I not found grace in thy sight, that thou
shouldest lay the weight of this people upon me?
11.12 Have I conceived all this people, or have I born
them? that thou sayest to me, Take them into thy bosom, as a nurse
would take her suckling, into the land which thou swarest to their
fathers?
11.13 Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11.14 I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
11.15 And if thou doest thus to me, slay me utterly, if I
have found favour with thee, that I may not see my affliction.
11.16 And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men
from the elders of Israel, whom thou thyself knowest that they are the
elders of the people, and their scribes; and thou shalt bring them to
the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with thee.
11.17 And I will go down, and speak there with thee; and I
will take of the spirit that is upon thee, and will put it upon them;
and they shall bear together with thee the burden of the people, and
thou shalt not bear them alone.
11.18 And to the people thou shalt say, Purify yourselves
for the morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye wept before the Lord,
saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in
Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and ye shall eat
flesh.
11.19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
11.20 ye shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come
out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because ye
disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What
had we to do to come out of Egypt?
11.21 And Moses said, The people among whom I am are six
hundred thousand footmen; and thou saidst, I will give them flesh to
eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
11.22 Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it
suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for
them, and shall it suffice them?
11.23 And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the
Lord be fully sufficient? now shalt thou know whether my word shall
come to pass to thee or not.
11.24 And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord
to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people,
and he set them round about the tabernacle.
11.25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him,
and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy
men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied and ceased.
11.26 And there were two men left in the camp, the name of
the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit
rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were
enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied
in the camp.
11.27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
11.28 And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
11.29 And Moses said to him, Art thou jealous on my
account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever
the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
11.30 And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
11.31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and
brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the
camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side,
round about the camp, as it were two cubits from the earth.
11.32 And the people rose up all the day, and all the
night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered
least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about
the camp.
11.33 The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it
failed, when the Lord was wroth with the people, and the Lord smote the
people with a very great plague.
11.34 And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
11.35 The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
12.1
And Mariam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian
woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an Ethiopian woman.
12.2 And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to us? and the Lord heard it.
12.3 And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.
12.4 And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron
and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.
12.5 And the three came forth to the tabernacle of
witness; and the Lord descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at
the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and Mariam were
called; and both came forth.
12.6 And he said to them, Hear my words: If there
should be of you a prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in
a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.
12.7 My servant Moses [is] not so; he is faithful in all my house.
12.8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently,
and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and
why were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12.9 And the great anger of the Lord [was] upon them, and he departed.
12.10 And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and,
behold, Mariam was leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron looked upon
Mariam, and, behold, she [was] leprous.
12.11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech thee, my lord, do
not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.
12.12 Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion
coming out of his mother's womb, when [the disease] devours the half of
the flesh.
12.13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech thee, heal her.
12.14 And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only
spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set
apart seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.
12.15 And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days;
and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.
12.16 And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan.
13.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13.2 Send for thee men, and let them spy the land of
the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession;
one man for a tribe, thou shalt send them away according to their
families, every one of them a prince.
13.3 And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of
Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the
sons of Israel.
13.4 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
13.5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.
13.6 Of the tribe of Judah, Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
13.7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Ilaal the son of Joseph.
13.8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Ause the son of Naue.
13.9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
13.10 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Gudiel the son of Sudi.
13.11 Of the tribe of Joseph of the sons of Manasse, Gaddi the son of Susi.
13.12 Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the son of Gamali.
13.13 Of the tribe of Aser, Sathur the son of Michael.
13.14 Of the tribe of Nephthali, Nabi the son of Sabi.
13.15 Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
13.16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to
spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
13.17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan,
and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and ye shall go up to the
mountain,
13.18 and ye shall see the land, what it is, and the people
that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are
few or many.
13.19 And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether]
it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether
they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
13.20 And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether
there are trees in it or no: and ye shall persevere and take of the
fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the
forerunners of the grape.
13.21 And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
13.22 And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as
far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the
progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of
Egypt.
13.23 And they came to the valley of the cluster and
surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes
upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and
the figs.
13.24 And they called that place, The valley of the luster,
because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
13.25 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
13.26 And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and
all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of
Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the
congregation, and they shewed the fruit of the land:
13.27 and they reported to him, and said, We came into the
land into which thou sentest us, a land flowing with milk and honey;
and this is the fruit of it.
13.28 Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they
have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children
of Enach.
13.29 And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and
the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in
the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river
Jordan.
13.30 And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before
Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will
inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
13.31 But the men that went up together with him said, We
will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against
the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
13.32 And they brought a horror of that land which they
surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed
by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the
people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
13.33 And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yea even so were we before them.
14.1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
14.2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
14.3 Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in
this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into
this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a
prey: now then t is better to return into Egypt.
14.4 And they said one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.
14.5 And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
14.6 But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the
[son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land,
rent their garments,
14.7 and spoke to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed
extremely good.
14.8 If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into
this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
14.9 Only depart not from the Lord; and fear ye not
the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of
prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] among us: fear
them not.
14.10 And all the congregation bade stone them with stones;
and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of
witness to all the children of Israel.
14.11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people
provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs
which I have wrought among them?
14.12 I will smite them with death, and destroy them; and I
will make of thee and of thy father's house a great nation, and much
greater than this.
14.13 And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for thou hast brought up this people from them by thy might.
14.14 Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard
that thou art Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, art seen
[by them] face to face, and thy cloud rests upon them, and thou goest
before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of
fire.
14.15 And [if] thou shalt destroy this nation as one man;
then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying,
14.16 Because the Lord could not bring this people into the
land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
14.17 And now, O Lord, let thy strength be exalted, as thou spakest, saying,
14.18 The Lord [is] long-suffering and merciful, and true,
removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no
means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the
children to the third and fourth generation.
14.19 Forgive this people their sin according to thy great
mercy, as thou wast favourable to them from Egypt until now.
14.20 And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to thy word.
14.21 But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
14.22 For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which
I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this
tenth time, and have not hearkened to my voice,
14.23 surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to
their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as
know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give
the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.
14.24 But my servant Chaleb, because there was another
spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into
which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.
14.25 But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley:
to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
14.26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
14.27 How long [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I
have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the
children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.
14.28 Say to them, [As] I live, saith the Lord: surely as ye spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.
14.29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all
those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered
from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me,
14.30 ye shall not enter into the land for which I
stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the
son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
14.31 And your little ones, who ye said should be a prey,
them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, wich
ye rejected.
14.32 And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
14.33 And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty
years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be
consumed in the wilderness.
14.34 According to the number of the days during which ye
spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, ye shall bear your sins
forty years, and ye shall know my fierce anger.
14.35 I the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this
evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this
wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.
14.36 And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and
who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out
evil words concerning the land,--
14.37 the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
14.38 And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of
Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.
14.39 And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
14.40 And they rose early in the morning and went up to the
top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the
place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.
14.41 And Moses said, Why do ye transgress the word of the Lord? ye shall not prosper.
14.42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall ye fall before the face of your enemies.
14.43 For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you,
and ye shall fall by the sword; because ye have disobeyed the Lord and
turned aside, and the Lord will not be among you.
14.44 And having forced their passage, they went up to the
top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses
stirred not out of the camp.
14.45 And Amalec and the Chananite that dwelt in that
mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them unto Herman;
and they returned to the camp.
15.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
15.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, When ye are come into the land of your habitation, which I
give to you,
15.3 and thou wilt offer whole-burnt-offerings to the
Lord, a whole-burnt-offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a
free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet
savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock:
15.4 then he that offers his gift to the Lord shall
bring a meat-offering of fine flour, a tenth part of an ephah mingled
with oil, even with the fourth part of a hin.
15.5 And for a drink-offering ye shall offer the
fourth part of a hin on the whole-burnt-offering, or on the
meat-offering: for every lamb thou shalt offer so much, as a sacrifice,
a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
15.6 And for a ram, when ye offer it as a
whole-burnt-offering or as a sacrifice, thou shalt prepare as a
meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part
of a hin.
15.7 And ye shall offer for a smell of sweet savour
to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.
15.8 And if ye sacrifice [a bullock] from the herd
for a whole-burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, to perform a vow or a
peace-offering to the Lord,
15.9 then [the worshipper] shall offer upon the calf
a meat-offering, three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil,
[even] the half of a hin.
15.10 And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
15.11 Thus shalt thou do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
15.12 According to the number of what ye shall offer, so shall ye do to each one, according to their number.
15.13 Every native of the country shall do thus to offer
such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
15.14 And if there should be a stranger among you in your
land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he
will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord-- as ye do,
so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
15.15 There shall be one law for you an for the strangers
abiding among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as ye [are],
so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
15.16 There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.
15.17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
15.18 Speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to
them, When ye are entering into the land, into which I bring you,
15.19 then it shall come to pass, when ye shall eat of the
bread of the land, ye shall separate a wave-offering, a special
offering to the Lord, the first-fruits of your dough.
15.20 Ye shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a
heave-offering from the threshing-floor, so shall ye separate it,
15.21 even the first-fruits of your dough, and ye shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
15.22 But whensoever ye shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
15.23 as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from
the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your
generations,
15.24 then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be
committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the
congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a
whole-burnt-offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering
and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the
goats for a sin-offering.
15.25 And the priest shall make atonement for all the
congregation of the children of Israel, and [the trespass] shall be
forgiven them, because it is involuntary; and they have brought their
gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord for their trespass before the Lord,
even for their involuntary sins.
15.26 And it shall be forgiven as respects all the
congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is
abiding among you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people.
15.27 And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.
15.28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that
committed the trespass unwillingly, and that sinned unwillingly before
the Lord, to make atonement for him.
15.29 There shall be one law for the native among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides among them,
whosoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.
15.30 And whatever soul either of the natives or of the
strangers shall do any thing with a presumptuous hand, he will provoke
God; that soul shall be cut off from his people,
15.31 for he has set at nought the word of the Lord and
broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin [is]
upon him.
15.32 And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day.
15.33 And they who found him gathering sticks on the
sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation
of the children of Israel.
15.34 And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
15.35 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be
by all means put to death: [do ye] all the congregation, stone him with
stones.
15.36 And all the congregation brought him forth out of the
camp; and all the congregation stoned him with stones outside the camp,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
15.37 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
15.38 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell
them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of
their garments throughout their generations: and ye shall put upon the
fringes of the borders a lace of blue.
15.39 And it shall be on your fringes, and ye shall look on
them, and ye shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them:
and ye shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after [the
sight of your] eyes in the things after which ye go a whoring;
15.40 that ye may remember and perform all my commands, and ye shall be holy unto your God.
15.41 I [am] the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord your God.
16.1
And Core the son of Isaar the son of Caath the so of Levi, and Dathan
and Abiron, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Ruben,
spoke;
16.2 and rose up before Moses, and two hundred and
fifty men of the sons of Israel, chiefs of the assembly, chosen
councillors, and men of renown.
16.3 They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said,
Let it be enough for you that all the congregation [are] holy, and the
Lord [is] among them; and why do ye set up yourselves against the
congregation of the Lord?
16.4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
16.5 And he spoke to Core and all his assembly,
saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy,
and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he
has brought to himself.
16.6 This do ye: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company;
16.7 and put fire on them, and put incense on them
before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom
the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, ye
sons of Levi.
16.8 And Moses said to Core, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi.
16.9 Is it a little thing for you, that the God of
Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought
you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of
the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them?
16.10 And he has brought thee near and all thy brethren the
sons of Levi with thee, and do ye seek to be priests also?
16.11 Thus [it is with] thee and all thy congregation which
is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that ye murmur
against him?
16.12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.
16.13 Is it a little thing that thou hast brought us up to
a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, [and]
that thou altogether rulest over us?
16.14 Thou art a prince, and hast thou brought us into a
land flowing with milk and honey, and hast thou given us an inheritance
of land and vineyards? wouldest thou have put out the eyes of those men
we will not go up.
16.15 And Moses was exceeding indignant, and said to the
Lord, Do thou take no heed to their sacrifice: I have not taken away
the desire of any one of them, neither have I hurt any one of them.
16.16 And Moses said to Core, Sanctify thy company, and be
ready before the Lord, thou and Aaron and they, to-morrow.
16.17 And take each man his censer, and ye shall put
incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord,
two hundred and fifty censers, and thou and Aaron shall bring each his
censer.
16.18 And each man took his censer, and they put on them
fire, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors
of the tabernacle of witness.
16.19 And Core raised up against them all his company by
the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord
appeared to all the congregation.
16.20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
16.21 Separate your selves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once.
16.22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the
God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the
wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation?
16.23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
16.24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about.
16.25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him.
16.26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate
yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that
belongs to them, lest ye be consumed with them in all their sin.
16.27 And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round
about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their
tents, and their wives and their children and their store.
16.28 And Moses said, Hereby shall ye know that the Lord
has sent me to perform all these works, that [I have] not [done them]
of myself.
16.29 If these men shall die according to the death of all
men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of
all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
16.30 But if the Lord shall shew by a wonder, and the earth
shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their
tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into
Hades, then ye shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.
16.31 And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them.
16.32 And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and
their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle.
16.33 And they went down and all that they had, alive into
Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of
the congregation.
16.34 And all Israel round about them fled from the sound
of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].
16.35 And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
16.36 And the Lord said to Moses,
16.37 and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, Take up
the brazen censers out of the midst of the men that have been burnt,
and scatter the strange fire yonder, for they have sanctified the
censers
16.38 of these sinners against their own souls, and do thou
make them beaten plates a covering to the altar, because they were
brought before the Lord and hallowed; and they became a sign to the
children of Israel.
16.39 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest took the
brazen censers, which the men who had been burnt brought near, and they
put them as a covering on the altar:
16.40 a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger
might draw nigh, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense
before the Lord; so he shall not be as Core and as they that conspired
with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.
16.41 And the children of Israel murmured the next day
against Moses and Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord.
16.42 And it came to pass when the congregation combined
against Moses and Aaron, that they ran impetuously to the tabernacle of
witness; and the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
16.43 And Moses and Aaron went in, in front of the tabernacle of witness.
16.44 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
16.45 Depart out of the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once: and they fell upon their faces.
16.46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put on it
fire from the altar, and put incense on it, and carry it away quickly
into the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone forth
from the presence of the Lord, it has begun to destroy the people.
16.47 And Aaron took as Moses spoke to him, and ran among
the congregation, for already the plague had begun among the people;
and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
16.48 And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague ceased.
16.49 And they that died in the plague were fourteen
thousand and seven hundred, besides those that died on account of Core.
16.50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and the plague ceased.
17.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods
of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all
their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods,
and write the name of each on his rod.
17.3 And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi;
for it is one rod [for each]: they shall give [them] according to the
tribe of the house of their families.
17.4 And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of
witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to thee.
17.5 And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose,
his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the
children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
17.6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and
all their chiefs gave him a rod [each], for one chief a rod, according
to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [was]
in the midst of the rods.
17.7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
17.8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses
and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of
Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed
blossoms and produced almonds.
17.9 And Moses brought forth all the rods from before
the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took
his rod.
17.10 And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron
before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the
disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not
die.
17.11 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
17.12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
17.13 Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
18.1
And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, Thou and thy sons and thy father's
house shall bear the sins of the holy things, and thou and thy sons
shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18.2 And take to thyself thy brethren the tribe of
Levi, the family of thy father, and let them be joined to thee, and let
them minister to thee; and thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister]
before the tabernacle of witness.
18.3 And they shall keep thy charges, and the charges
of the tabernacle; only they shall not approach the holy vessels and
the altar, so both they and you shall not die.
18.4 And they shall be joined to thee, and shall keep
the charges of the tabernacle of witness, in all the services of the
tabernacle; and a stranger shall not approach to thee.
18.5 And ye shall keep the charges of the holy
things, and the charges of the altar, and [so] there shall not be anger
among the children of Israel.
18.6 And I have taken your brethren the Levites out
of the midst of the children of Israel, a present given to the Lord, to
minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness.
18.7 And thou and thy sons after thee shall keep up
your priestly ministration, according to the whole manner of the altar,
and that which is within the veil; and ye shall minister in the
services as the office of your priesthood; and the stranger that comes
near shall die.
18.8 And the Lord said to Aaron, And, behold, I have
given you the charge of the first-fruits of all things consecrated to
me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to thee as an
honour, and to thy sons after thee for a perpetual ordinance.
18.9 And let this be to you from all the holy things
that are consecrated [to me, even] the burnt-offerings, from all their
gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every trespass-offering
of theirs, and from all their sin-offerings, whatever things they give
to me of all their holy things, they shall be thine and thy sons'.
18.10 In the most holy place shall ye eat them; every male
shall eat them, thou and thy sons: they shall be holy to thee.
18.11 And this shall be to you of the first-fruits of their
gifts, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; to thee
have I given them and to thy sons and thy daughters with thee, a
perpetual ordinance; every clean person in thy house shall eat them.
18.12 Every first-offering of oil, and every first-offering
of wine, their first-fruits of corn, whatsoever they may give to the
Lord, to thee have I given them.
18.13 All the first-fruits that are in their land,
whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be thine: every clean
person in thy house shall eat them.
18.14 Every devoted thing among the children of Israel shall be thine.
18.15 And every thing that opens the womb of all flesh,
whatsoever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be
thine: only the first-born of men shall be surely redeemed, and thou
shalt redeem the first-born of unclean cattle.
18.16 And the redemption of them [shall be] from a month
old; their valuation of five shekels-- it is twenty oboli according to
the holy shekel.
18.17 But thou shalt not redeem the first-born of calves
and the first-born of sheep and the first-born of goats; they are holy:
ad thou shalt pour their blood upon the altar, and thou shalt offer the
fat as a burnt-offering for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
18.18 And the flesh shall be thine, as also the breast of
the wave-offering and as the right shoulder, it shall be thine.
18.19 Every special offering of the holy things, whatsoever
the children of Israel shall specially offer to the Lord, I have given
to thee and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, a perpetual
ordinance: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, for thee
and thy seed after thee.
18.20 And the Lord said to Aaron, Thou shalt have no
inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among
them; for I [am] thy portion and thine inheritance in the midst of the
children of Israel.
18.21 And, behold, I have given to the sons of Levi every
tithe in Israel for an inheritance for their services, whereinsoever
they perform ministry in the tabernacle of witness.
18.22 And the children of Israel shall no more draw nigh to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.
18.23 And the Levite himself shall perform the service of
the tabernacle of witness; and they shall bear their iniquities, it is
a perpetual statute throughout their generations; and in the midst of
the children of Israel they shall not receive an inheritance.
18.24 Because I have given as a distinct portion to the
Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel,
whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In
the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18.25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18.26 Thou shalt also speak to the Levites, and shalt say
to them, If ye take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have
given you from them for an inheritance, then shall ye separate from it
a heave-offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.
18.27 And your heave-offerings shall be reckoned to you as corn from the floor, and an offering from the wine-press.
18.28 So shall ye also separate them from all the offerings
of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatsoever ye shall receive from
the children of Israel; and ye shall give of them an offering to the
Lord to Aaron the priest.
18.29 Of all your gifts ye shall offer an offering to the
Lord, and of every first-fruit the consecrated part from it.
18.30 And thou shalt say to them, When ye shall offer the
first-fruits from it, then shall it be reckoned to the Levites as
produce from the threshing-floor, and as produce from the wine-press.
18.31 And ye shall eat it in any place, ye and your
families; for this is your reward for your services in the tabernacle
of witness.
18.32 And ye shall not bear sin by reason of it, for ye
shall have offered an offering of first-fruits from it, and ye shall
not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
19.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
19.2 This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord
has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take
for thee a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on
which no yoke has been put.
19.3 And thou shalt give her to Eleazar the priest;
and they shall bring her out of the camp into a clean place, and shall
kill her before his face.
19.4 And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and
sprinkle of her blood seven times in front of the tabernacle of witness.
19.5 And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and
her skin and her flesh and her blood, with her dung, shall be consumed.
19.6 And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop
and scarlet wool, and they shall cast them into the midst of the
burning of the heifer.
19.7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and
bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall go into the camp, and
the priest shall be unclean till evening.
19.8 And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and shall be unclean till evening.
19.9 And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the
heifer, and lay them up in a clean place outside the camp; and they
shall be for the congregation of the children of Israel to keep: it is
the water of sprinkling, a purification.
19.10 And he that gathers up the ashes of the heifer shall
wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening; and it shall be
a perpetual statute for the children of Israel and for the strangers
joined to them.
19.11 He that touches the dead body of any man, shall be unclean seven days.
19.12 He shall be purified on the third day and the seventh
day, and shall be clean; but if he be not purged on the third day and
the seventh day, he shall not be clean.
19.13 Every one that touches the carcase of the person of a
man, if he should have died, and [the other] not have been purified,
has defiled the tabernacle of the Lord: that soul shall be cut off from
Israel, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon
him; he is unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
19.14 And this [is] the law; if a man die in a house, every
one that goes into the house, and all things in the house, shall be
unclean seven days.
19.15 And every open vessel which has not a covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.
19.16 And every one who shall touch a man slain by
violence, or a corpse, or human bone, or sepulchre, shall be unclean
seven days.
19.17 And they shall take for the unclean of the burnt
ashes of purification, and they shall pour upon them running water into
a vessel.
19.18 And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it into
the water, and sprinkle it upon the house, and the furniture, and all
the souls that are therein, and upon him that touched the human bone,
or the slain man, or the corpse, or the tomb.
19.19 And the clean man shall sprinkle [the water] on the
unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day
he shall purify himself; and [the other] shall wash his garments, and
bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
19.20 And whatever man shall be defiled and shall not
purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the
congregation, because he has defiled the holy things of the Lord,
because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is
unclean.
19.21 And it shall be to you a perpetual statute; and he
that sprinkles the water of sprinkling shall wash his garments; and he
that touches the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening.
19.22 And whatsoever the unclean man shall touch shall be
unclean, and the soul that touches it shall be unclean till evening.
20.1
And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into
the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in
Cades; and Mariam died there, and was buried there.
20.2 And there was no water for the congregation: and
they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron.
20.3 And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we
had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!
20.4 And wherefore have ye brought up the
congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our
cattle?
20.5 And wherefore [is] this? Ye have brought us up
out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where
there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither
is there water to drink.
20.6 And Moses and Aaron went from before the
assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon
their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
20.7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
20.8 Take thy rod, and call the assembly, thou and
Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before them, and it shall
give forth its waters; and ye shall bring forth for them water out of
the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.
20.9 And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.
20.10 And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before
the rock, and said to them, Hear me, ye disobedient ones; must we bring
you water out of this rock?
20.11 And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with
his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank,
and their cattle.
20.12 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye have
not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore
ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given
them.
20.13 This is the water of Strife, because the children of
Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
20.14 And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of
Edom, saying, Thus says thy brother Israel; Thou knowest all the
distress that has come upon us.
20.15 And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we
sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our
fathers.
20.16 And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our
voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in
the city of Cades, at the extremity of thy coasts.
20.17 We will pass through thy land: we will not go through
the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of
thy cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside
to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
20.18 And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet thee in war.
20.19 And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass
by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, I will pay
thee: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.
20.20 And he said, Thou shalt not pass through me; and Edom
went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.
20.21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him.
20.22 And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.
20.23 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying,
20.24 Let Aaron be added to his people; for ye shall
certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of
Israel, because ye provoked me at the water of strife.
20.25 Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation;
20.26 and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on
Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].
20.27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation.
20.28 And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on
Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses
and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
20.29 And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and
they wept for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
21.1
And Arad the Chananitish king who dwelt by the wilderness, heard that
Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and
carried off some of them captives.
21.2 And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If
thou wilt deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its
cities [to thee].
21.3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel,
and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him
and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
21.4 And having departed from mount Or by the way
[leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the
people lost courage by the way.
21.5 And the people spoke against God and against
Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast thou brought us ought of Egypt to slay
us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul
loathes this light bread.
21.6 And the Lord sent among the people deadly
serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of
Israel died.
21.7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have
sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray
therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
21.8 And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and
the Lord said to Moses, Make thee a serpent, and put it on a
signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall
bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
21.9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it
upon a signa-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a
man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
21.10 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
21.11 And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in
Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite
Moab, toward the east.
21.12 And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
21.13 And they departed thence and encamped on the other
side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the
coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab
and the Amorites.
21.14 Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
21.15 And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
21.16 And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the
well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will
give them water to drink.
21.17 Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
21.18 the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in
their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went]
from the well to Manthanain,
21.19 and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to
Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as
seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks toward the
wilderness.
21.20 And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceable words, saying,
21.21 We will pass through thy land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
21.22 We will not drink water out of thy well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past thy boundaries.
21.23 And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his
borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the
battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to
Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
21.24 And Israel smote him with the slaughter of the sword,
and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as
the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of
Amman.
21.25 And Israel took all their cities, and Israel dwelt in
all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging
to it.
21.26 For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites;
and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his
land, from Aroer to Arnon.
21.27 Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
21.28 For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from
the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the
pillars of Arnon.
21.29 Woe to thee, Moab; thou art lost, thou people of
Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are
captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
21.30 And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon;
and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
21.31 And Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites.
21.32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it,
and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that dwelt there.
21.33 And having returned, they went up the road that leads
to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his
people to war to Edrain.
21.34 And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have
delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into thy hands; and
thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Seon king of the Amorites, who
dwelt in Esebon.
21.35 And he smote him and his sons, and all his people,
until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his
land.
22.1 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
22.2 And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite,
22.3 then Moab feared the people exceedingly because
they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of
Israel.
22.4 And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall
this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick
up the green [herbs] of the field:-- and Balac son of Sepphor was king
of Moab at that time.
22.5 And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of
Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his
people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and
behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close
to me.
22.6 And now come, curse me this people, for it is
stronger than we; if we may be able to smite some of them, and I will
cast them out of the land: for I know that whomsoever thou dost bless,
they are blessed, and whomsoever thou dost curse, they are cursed.
22.7 And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of
Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they
came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac.
22.8 And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I
will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the
princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
22.9 And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with thee?
22.10 And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying,
22.11 Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has
covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now
come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to smite it, and cast
it out of the land.
22.12 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them,
neither shalt thou curse the people; for they are blessed.
22.13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the
princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me
to go with you.
22.14 And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us.
22.15 And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honourable than they.
22.16 And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus
says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech thee, delay not to come to me.
22.17 For I will greatly honour thee, and will do for thee
whatsoever thou shalt say; come then, curse me this people.
22.18 And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac,
If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not
be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or
great in my mind.
22.19 And now do ye also tarry here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me.
22.20 And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If
these men are come to call thee, rise and follow them; nevertheless the
word which I shall speak to thee, it shalt thou do.
22.21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22.22 And God was very angry because he went; and the angel
of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and
his two servants were with him.
22.23 And when the ass saw the angel of God standing
opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass
turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam]
smote the ass with his staff to direct her in the way.
22.24 And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that.
22.25 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust
herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall,
and he smote her again.
22.26 And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and
stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or
the left.
22.27 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down
under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
22.28 And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to
Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me this third
time?
22.29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked
me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed thee.
22.30 And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass on
which thou hast ridden since thy youth till this day? did I ever do
thus to thee, utterly disregarding [thee]? and he said, No.
22.31 And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the
angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in
his hand, and he stooped down and worshiped on his face.
22.32 And the angel of God said to him, Why hast thou
smitten thine ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand
thee, for thy way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me,
she turned away from me this third time.
22.33 And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now,
I should have slain thee, and should have saved her alive.
22.34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have
sinned, for I did not know that thou wert standing opposite in the way
to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to thee [for me to go
on], I will return.
22.35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the
men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt
take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
22.36 And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went
out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon,
which is on the [extreme] part of the borders.
22.37 And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to thee to
call thee? why hast thou not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to
honour thee?
22.38 And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to
thee: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put
into my mouth, that I shall speak.
22.39 And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
22.40 And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
22.41 And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and
brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and shewed him thence a part of
the people.
23.1 And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
23.2 And Balac did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
23.3 And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy
sacrifice, and I will go and see if God will appear to me and meet me,
and the word which he shall shew me, I will report to thee. And Balac
stood by his sacrifice.
23.4 And Balaam went to enquire of God; and he went
straight forward, and God appeared to Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I
have prepared the seven altars, and have offered a calf and a ram on
[every] altar.
23.5 And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and
said, thou shalt return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
23.6 And he returned to him, and moreover he stood
over his whole-burnt-offerings, and all the princes of Moab with him;
and the Spirit of God came upon him.
23.7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king
of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the
east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me
upon Israel.
23.8 How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not?
23.9 For from the top of the mountains I shall see
him, and from the hills I shall observe him: behold, the people shall
dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
23.10 Who has exactly calculated the seed of Jacob, and who
shall number the families of Israel? let my soul die with the souls of
the righteous, and let my seed be as their seed.
23.11 And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me?
I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed
[them].
23.12 And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?
23.13 And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another
place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a
part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.
23.14 And he took him to a high place of the field to the
top of the quarried [rock], and he built there seven altars, and
offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
23.15 And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.
23.16 And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
23.17 And he returned to him: and he also as standing by
his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and
Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken?
23.18 And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor.
23.19 God is not as man to waver, nor as the son of man to
be threatened; shall he say and not perform? shall he speak and not
keep [to his word]?
23.20 Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.
23.21 There shall not be trouble in Jacob, neither shall
sorrow be seen in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, the glories
of rulers [are] in him.
23.22 It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn.
23.23 For there is no divination in Jacob, nor enchantment
in Israel; in season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel what God
shall perform.
23.24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion's whelp,
and shall exalt himself as a lion; he shall not lie down till he have
eaten the prey, and he shall drink the blood of the slain.
23.25 And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all.
23.26 And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to
thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do?
23.27 And Balac said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove
thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from
thence.
23.28 And Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness.
23.29 And Balaam said to Balac, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
23.30 And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
24.1
And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go
according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face toward
the wilderness.
24.2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel
encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
24.3 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees ruly says,
24.4 he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
24.5 How goodly [are] thy habitations, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel!
24.6 as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
24.7 There shall come a man out of his seed, and he
shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of God shall be exalted,
and his kingdom shall be increased.
24.8 God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the
glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he
shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the
enemy.
24.9 He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young
lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless thee are blessed, and they
that curse thee are cursed.
24.10 And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his
hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my
enemy, and behold thou hast decidedly blessed [him] this third time.
24.11 Now therefore flee to thy place: I said, I will honour thee, but now the Lord has deprived thee of glory.
24.12 And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to thy messengers also whom thou sentest to me, saying,
24.13 If Balac should give me his house full of silver and
gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it
good or bad by myself; whatsoever things God shall say, them will I
speak.
24.14 And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will
advise thee of what this people shall do to thy people in the last days.
24.15 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
24.16 hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from
the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were
opened.
24.17 I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he
draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out
of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the
sons of Seth.
24.18 And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy
shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
24.19 And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
24.20 And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and
said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
24.21 And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable
and said, thy dwelling-place [is] strong; yet though thou shouldest put
thy nest in a rock,
24.22 and though Beor should have a skillfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry thee away captive.
24.23 And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and
said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
24.24 And one shall come forth from the hands of the
Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and
they shall perish together.
24.25 And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
25.1
And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going
a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
25.2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their
idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshiped their
idols.
25.3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
25.4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes
of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the
face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from
Israel.
25.5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay ye every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
25.6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel
came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and
before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were
weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
25.7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and
took a javelin in his hand,
25.8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the
chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and
the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children
of Israel.
25.9 And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
25.10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
25.11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I
was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children
of Israel in my jealousy.
25.12 Thus do thou say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
25.13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual
covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made
atonement for the children of Israel.
25.14 Now the name of the smitten Israelitish man, who was
smitten with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince
of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
25.15 And the name of the Madianitish woman who was
smitten, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of
Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.
25.16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
25.17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and smite them,
25.18 for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein
they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister,
daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was smitten in the day of the
plague because of Phogor.
26.1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and Eleazar the priest, saying,
26.2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the
children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, according to the
houses of their lineage, every one that goes forth to battle in Israel.
26.3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke in Araboth of Moab at the Jordan by Jericho, saying,
26.4 [This is the numbering] from twenty years old
and upward as the Lord commanded Moses. And the sons of Israel that
came out of Egypt [are as follows]:
26.5 Ruben [was] the first-born of Israel: and the
sons of Ruben, Enoch and the family of Enoch; to Phallu belongs the
family of the Phalluites.
26.6 To Asron, the family of Asroni: to Charmi, the family of Charmi.
26.7 These [are] the families of Ruben; and their
numbering was forty-three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
26.8 And the sons of Phallu [were] Eliab,--
26.9 and the sons of Eliab, Namuel, and Dathan, and
Abiron: these [are] renowned men of the congregation; these are they
that rose up against Moses and Aaron in the gathering of Core, in the
rebellion against the Lord.
26.10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up them
and Core, when their assembly perished, when the fire devoured the two
hundred and fifty, and they were made a sign.
26.11 But the sons of Core died not.

26.52 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
26.53 To these the land shall be divided, so that they may inherit according to the number of the names.
26.54 To the greater number thou shalt give the greater
inheritance, and to the less number thou shalt give the less
inheritance: to each one, as they have been numbered, shall their
inheritance be given.
26.55 The land shall be divided to the names by lot, they shall inherit according to the tribes of their families.

26.61 And Nadab and Abiud died when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina.
26.62 And there were according to their numbering,
twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they
were not numbered among the children of Israel, because they have no
inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
26.63 And this [is] the numbering of Moses and Eleazar the
priest, who numbered the children of Israel in Araboth of Moab, at
Jordan by Jericho.
26.64 And among these there was not a man numbered by Moses
and Aaron, whom, [even] the children of Israel, they numbered in the
wilderness of Sinai.
26.65 For the Lord said to them, They shall surely die in
the wilderness; and there was not left even one of them, except Chaleb
the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
27.1
And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the
son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came
near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha,
and Thersa;
27.2 and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar
the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at
the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
27.3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was
not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in
the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons.
Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his
people, because he has no son give us an inheritance in the midst of
our father's brethren.
27.4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
27.5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
27.6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly:
thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of
their father's brethren, and thou shalt assign their father's
inheritance to them.
27.7 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,
27.8 If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
27.9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his brother.
27.10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
27.11 And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall
give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit
his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an
ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27.12 And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain
that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the
land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
27.13 And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added
to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or:
27.14 because ye transgressed my commandment in the
wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to
sanctify me; ye sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the
water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.
27.15 And Moses said to the Lord,
27.16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,
27.17 who shall go out before them, and who shall come in
before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in;
so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a
shepherd.
27.18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself
Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt
lay thy hands upon him.
27.19 And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and
thou shalt give hi a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt
give a charge concerning him before them.
27.20 And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel may hearken to him.
27.21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and
they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they
shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and
the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.
27.22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took
Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation.
27.23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
28.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
28.2 Charge the children of Israel, and thou shalt
speak to them, saying, Ye shall observe to offer to me in my feasts my
gifts, my presents, my burnt-offerings for a sweet-smelling savour.
28.3 And thou shalt say to them, These are the
burnt-offerings, all that ye shall bring to the Lord; two lambs of a
year old without blemish daily, for a whole-burnt offering perpetually.
28.4 Thou shalt offer one lamb in the morning, and thou shalt offer the second lamb towards evening.
28.5 And thou shalt offer the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, with the fourth
part of a hin.
28.6 [It is] a perpetual whole-burnt-offering, a
sacrifice offered in the mount of Sina for a sweet-smelling savour to
the Lord.
28.7 And its drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin
to each lamb; in the holy place shalt thou pour strong drink as a

evening; thou shalt offer it according to its meat-offering and
according to its drink-offering for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
28.9 And on the sabbath-day ye shall offer two lambs
of a year old without blemish, and two tenth deals of fine flour

sabbath days, besides the continued whole-burnt-offering, and its drink
offering.
28.11 And at the new moons ye shall bring a
whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, two calves of the herd, and one ram,
seven lambs of a year old without blemish.
28.12 Three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for
one calf, and two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for one
ram.
28.13 A tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for each
lamb, as a meat-offering, a sweet-smelling savour, a burnt-offering to
the Lord.
28.14 Their drink-offering shall be the half of a hin for
one calf; and the third of a hin for one ram; and the fourth part of a
hin of wine for one lamb: this [is] the whole-burnt-offering monthly
throughout the months of the year.
28.15 And [he shall offer] one kid of the goats for a
sin-offering to the Lord; it shall be offered beside the continual
whole-burnt-offering and its drink-offering.
28.16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the passover to the Lord.

gift, a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord; beside the

savour to the Lord.
29.7 And on the tenth of this month there shall be to
you a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls, and ye shall
do no work.
29.8 And ye shall bring near whole-burnt-offerings
for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord; burnt-sacrifices to the Lord,
one calf of the herd, one ram, seven lambs of a year old; they shall be
to you without blemish.

30.1 (29.40) And Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
30.2 (30.1) And Moses spoke to the heads of the
tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the
Lord has commanded.
30.3 (30.2) Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the
Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his
soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth
he shall do.
30.4 (30.3) And if a woman shall vow a vow to the
Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father's
house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations,
wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace
at her, then all her vows shall stand,
30.5 (30.4) and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.
30.6 (30.5) But if her father straitly forbid [her]
in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations,
which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the
Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.
30.7 (30.6) But if she should be indeed married, and
her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, in respect
of [the obligations] which she has contracted upon her soul;
30.8 (30.7) and her husband should hear, and hold his
peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all
her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon
her soul shall stand.
30.9 (30.8) But if her husband should straitly forbid
[her] in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or
obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because
her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
30.10 (30.9) And the vow of a widow and of her that is put
away, whatsoever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.
30.11 (30.10) And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,
30.12 (30.11) and her husband should hear, and hold his
peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and
all the obligations which she contracted against her soul, shall stand
against her.
30.13 (30.12) But if her husband should utterly cancel the
vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which
shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations
[contracted] upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has
canceled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
30.14 (30.13) Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict
her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall
cancel it.
30.15 (30.14) But if he be wholly silent at her from day to
day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to
her the obligations [which she has bound] upon herself, because he held
his peace at her in the day in which he heard her.
30.16 (30.15) And if her husband should in any wise cancel
[them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his
iniquity.
30.17 (30.16) These [are] the ordinances which the Lord
commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and
daughter in [her] youth in the house of [her] father.
31.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 31.2
Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and
afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people. 31.3
And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set
yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict
vengeance on Madian from the Lord. 31.4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array. 31.5
And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each]
tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war. 31.6
And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces,
and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the
holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands. 31.7 And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew every male. 31.8
And they slew the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects];
even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian;
and they slew with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other]
slain. 31.9
And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their
cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces. 31.10
And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their
habitation and they burnt their villages with fire. 31.11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast. 31.12
And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the
children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to
the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho. 31.13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them. 31.14
And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of
thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array. 31.15 And Moses said to them, Why have ye saved every female alive? 31.16
For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of
Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because
of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord. 31.17 Now then slay every male in all the spoil, slay every woman, who has known the lying with man. 31.18 And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save ye them alive. 31.19
And ye shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who
has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third
day, and ye and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on he seventh
day. 31.20
And ye shall purify every garment and every leathern utensil, and all
furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel. 31.21
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the
battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has
commanded Moses. 31.22 Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin, 31.23
every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean,
nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and
whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water. 31.24 And on the seventh day ye shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards ye shall come into the camp. 31.25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 31.26
Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, thou
and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the
congregation. 31.27 And ye shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation. 31.28
And ye shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went
out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the
cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and
ye shall take from their half. 31.29 And thou shalt give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first-fruits of the Lord. 31.30
And from the half belonging to the children of Israel thou shalt take
one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and
from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to
the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord. 31.31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. 31.32
And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was-- of
the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand: 31.33 and oxen, seventy-two thousand: 31.34 and asses, sixty-one thousand. 31.35 And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand. 31.36
And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the
number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and
five hundred. 31.37 And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five. 31.38 And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two. 31.39 And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one: 31.40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls. 31.41
And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to
Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses; 31.42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war. 31.43
And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was
three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred. 31.44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand; 31.45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred; 31.46 and persons, sixteen thousand. 31.47
And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the
fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites
who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord
commanded Moses. 31.48
And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the
host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses,
and said to Moses, 31.49 Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing. 31.50
And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an
article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a
bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord. 31.51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article. 31.52
And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the
Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the
captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds. 31.53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself. 31.54
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of
thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the
tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the
Lord.
32.1
And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of
cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of
Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
32.2 and the children of Ruben and the children of
Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the
princes of the congregation, saying,
32.3 Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
32.4 the land which the Lord has delivered up before
the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle.
32.5 And they said, If we have found grace in thy
sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do
not cause us to pass over Jordan.
32.6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons
of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
32.7 And why do ye pervert the minds of the children
of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the
Lord gives them?
32.8 Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
32.9 And they went up to the valley of the cluster,
and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of
Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
32.10 And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
32.11 Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty
years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land
which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have
not closely followed after me:
32.12 save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart,
and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
32.13 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for
forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the
generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord as extinct.
32.14 Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers,
a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath
of the Lord against Israel.
32.15 For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once
more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.
32.16 And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
32.17 and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard
before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into
their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because
of the inhabitants of the land.
32.18 We will not return to our houses till the children of
Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
32.19 And we will not any longer inherit with them from the
other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance
on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
32.20 And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to
these words, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
32.21 and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully
armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his
face,
32.22 and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then
afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as
regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before
the Lord.
32.23 But if ye will not do so, ye will sin against the
Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
32.24 And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your
store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds
out of your mouth.
32.25 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands.
32.26 Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
32.27 But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
32.28 And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the
pries, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of
the tribes of Israel.
32.29 And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the
sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war
before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall
give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
32.30 But if they will not pass over armed with you to war
before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and
their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and
they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
32.31 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered,
saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
32.32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land
of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
32.33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and
the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of
Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og
king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of
the land round about.
32.34 And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32.35 and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
32.36 and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
32.37 And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
32.38 and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama;
and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their
own names.
32.39 And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it.
32.40 And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there.
32.41 And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
32.42 And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
33.1
And these are the stages of the children of Israel, as they went out
from the land of Egypt with their host by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
33.2 And Moses wrote their removals and their stages,
by the word of the Lord: and these are the stages of their journeying.
33.3 They departed from Ramesses in the first month,
on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the passover
the children of Israel went forth with a high hand before all the
Egyptians.
33.4 And the Egyptians buried those that died of
them, even all that the Lord smote, every first-born in the land of
Egypt; also the Lord executed vengeance on their gods.
33.5 And the children of Israel departed from Ramesses, and encamped in Socchoth:
33.6 and they departed from Socchoth and encamped in Buthan, which is a part of the wilderness.
33.7 And they departed from Buthan and encamped at
the mouth of Iroth, which is opposite Beel-sepphon, and encamped
opposite Magdol.
33.8 And they departed from before Iroth, and crossed
the middle of the sea into the wilderness; and they went a journey of
three days through the wilderness, and encamped in Picriae.
33.9 And they departed from Picriae, and came to
Aelim; and in Aelim [were] twelve fountains of water, and seventy
palm-trees, and they encamped there by the water.
33.10 And they departed from Aelim, and encamped by the Red Sea.

33.15 And they departed from Raphidin, and encamped in the wilderness of Sina.
33.16 And they departed from the wilderness of Sina, and encamped at the Graves of Lust.
33.17 And they departed from the Graves of Lust, and encamped in Aseroth.
33.18 And they departed from Aseroth, and encamped in Rathama.
33.19 And they departed from Rathama, and encamped in Remmon Phares.
33.20 And they departed from Remmon Phares, and encamped in Lebona.

33.28 And they departed from Tarath, and encamped in Mathecca.
33.29 And they departed from Mathecca, and encamped in Selmona.
33.30 And they departed from Selmona, and encamped in Masuruth.
33.31 And they departed from Masuruth, and encamped in Banaea.
33.32 And they departed from Banaea, and encamped in the mountain Gadgad.
33.33 And they departed from the mountain Gadgad, and encamped in Etebatha.
33.34 And they departed from Etebatha, and encamped in Ebrona.
33.35 And they departed from Ebrona, and encamped in Gesion Gaber.
33.36 And they departed from Gesion Gaber, and encamped in
the wilderness of Sin; and they departed from the wilderness of Sin,
and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan; this is Cades.
33.37 And they departed from Cades, and encamped in mount Or near the land of Edom.
33.38 And Aaron the priest went up by the command of the
Lord, and died there in the fortieth year of the departure of the
children of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the
first [day] of the month.
33.39 And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old, when he died in mount Or.
33.40 And Arad the Chananitish king (he too dwelt in the
land of Chanaan) having heard when the children of Israel were entering
[the land]--
33.41 then they departed from mount Or, and encamped in Selmona.
33.42 And they departed from Selmona, and encamped in Phino.
33.43 And they departed from Phino, and encamped in Oboth.
33.44 And they departed from Oboth, and encamped in Gai, on the other side [Jordan] on the borders of Moab.
33.45 And they departed from Gai, and encamped in Daebon Gad.

33.48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped on the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
33.49 And they encamped by Jordan between Aesimoth, as far as Belsa to the west of Moab.
33.50 And the Lord spoke to Moses at the west of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying,
33.51 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them, Ye are to pass over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.
33.52 And ye shall destroy all that dwell in the land
before your face, and ye shall abolish their high places, and all their
molten images ye shall destroy, and ye shall demolish all their pillars.
33.53 And ye shall destroy all the inhabitants of the land,
and ye shall dwell in it, for I have given their land to you for an
inheritance.
33.54 And ye shall inherit their land according to your
tribes; to the greater number ye shall give the larger possession, and
to the smaller ye shall give the less possession; to whatsoever [part]
a man's name shall go forth [by lot], there shall be his [property]: ye
shall inherit according to the tribes of your families.
33.55 But if ye will not destroy the dwellers in the land
from before you, then it shall come to pass that whomsoever of them ye
shall leave shall be thorns in your eyes, and darts in your sides, and
they shall be enemies to you on the land on which ye shall dwell;
33.56 and it shall come to pass that as I had determined to do to them, so I will do to you.
34.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
34.2 Charge the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Ye are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to
you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.
34.3 And your southern side shall be from the
wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward
shall extend on the side of the salt sea eastward.
34.4 And your border shall go round you from the
south to the ascent of Acrabi, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the
going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go
forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.
34.5 And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.
34.6 And ye shall have your border on the west, the
great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the
west.
34.7 And this shall be your northern border; from the
great sea ye shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.
34.8 And ye shall measure to yourselves the mountain
from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it
shall be the coasts of Saradac.
34.9 And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its
termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the
north.
34.10 And ye shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.
34.11 And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela
eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela
behind the sea Chenereth eastward.
34.12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the
termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its
borders round about.
34.13 And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying,
This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord
commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of
Manasse.
34.14 For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe
of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to
their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their
inheritances.
34.15 Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.
34.16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
34.17 These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the
land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son]
of Naue.
34.18 And ye shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.
34.19 And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
34.20 Of the tribe of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Semiud.
34.21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Eldad the son of Chaslon.
34.22 Of the tribe of Dan the prince [was] Bacchir the son of Egli.
34.23 Of the sons of Joseph of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, the prince was Aniel the son of Suphi.
34.24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince was Camuel the son of Sabathan.
34.25 Of the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Elisaphan the son of Pharnac.
34.26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Phaltiel the son of Oza.
34.27 Of the tribe of the children of Aser, the prince was Achior the son of Selemi.
34.28 Of the tribe of Nephthali, the prince was Phadael the son of Jamiud.
34.29 These did the Lord command to distribute [the inheritances] to the children of Israel in the land of Chanaan.
35.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses to the west of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
35.2 Give orders to the children of Israel, and they
shall give to the Levites cities to dwell in from the lot of their
possession, and they shall give to the Levites the suburbs of the
cities round about them.
35.3 And the cities shall be for them to dwell in,
and their enclosures shall be for their cattle and all their beasts.
35.4 And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall
give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outwards
two thousand cubits round about.
35.5 And thou shalt measure outside 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 your city shall be in the midst of this, and
the suburbs of the cities [as described].
35.6 And ye shall give the cities to the Levites, the
six cities of refuge which ye shall give for the slayer to flee
thither, and in addition to these, forty-two cities.
35.7 Ye shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs.
35.8 And as for the cities which ye shall give out of
the possession of the children of Israel, from those [that have] much
[ye shall give] much, and from those that have less ye shall give less:
they shall give of their cities to the Levites each one according to
his inheritance which they shall inherit.
35.9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
35.10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them, Ye are to cross over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.
35.11 And ye shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall
be to you cities of refuge for the slayer to flee to, every one who has
killed another unintentionally.
35.12 And the cities shall be to you places of refuge from
the avenger of blood, and the slayer shall not die until he stands
before the congregation for judgment.
35.13 And the cities which ye shall assign, [even] the six cities, shall be places of refuge for you.
35.14 Ye shall assign three cities on the other side of
Jordan, and ye shall assign three cities in the land of Chanaan.
35.15 It shall be a place of refuge for the children of
Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that sojourns among you;
these cities shall be for a place of refuge, for every one to flee
thither who has killed a man unintentionally.
35.16 And if he should smite him with an iron instrument,
and the man should die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means
be put to death.
35.17 And if he should smite him with a stone [thrown] from
his hand, whereby a man may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer;
let the murderer by all means be put to death.
35.18 And if he should smite him with an instrument of wood
from his hand, whereby he may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer;
let the murderer by all means be put to death.
35.19 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: whensoever he shall meet him he shall slay him.
35.20 And if he should thrust him through enmity, or cast
any thing upon him from an ambuscade, and the man should die,
35.21 or if he have smitten him with his hand through
anger, and the man should die, let the man that smote him be put to
death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all means be
put to death: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer when he
meets him.
35.22 But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast any thing upon him, not from an ambuscade,
35.23 or [smite him] with any stone, whereby a man may die,
unawares, and it should fall upon him, and he should die, but he was
not his enemy, nor sought to hurt him;
35.24 then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood, according to these judgments.
35.25 And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the
avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of
refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the
death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.
35.26 But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city whither he fled for refuge,
35.27 and the avenger of blood should find him without the
bounds of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill
the slayer, he is not guilty.
35.28 For he ought to have remained in the city of refuge
till the high-priest died; and after the death of the high-priest the
slayer shall return to the land of his possession.
35.29 And these things shall be to you for an ordinance of
judgment throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35.30 Whoever kills a man, thou shalt slay the murderer on
the testimony of witnesses; and one witness shall not testify against a
soul that he should die.
35.31 And ye shall not accept ransoms for life from a
murderer who is worthy of death, for he shall be surely put to death.
35.32 Ye shall not accept a ransom [to excuse] his fleeing
to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until
the death of the high-priest.
35.33 So shall ye not pollute with murder the land in which
ye dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be
purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed
it.
35.34 And ye shall no defile the land whereon ye dwell, on
which I dwell in the midst of you; for I am the Lord dwelling in the
midst of the children of Israel.
36.1
And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the
son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and
spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads
of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:
36.2 and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to
render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and
the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our
brother to his daughters.
36.3 And they will become wives in one of the tribes
of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away
from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the
inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be
taken away from the portion of our inheritance.
36.4 And if there shall be a release of the children
of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of
the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance, shall be
taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.
36.5 And Moses charged the children of Israel by the
commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of
Joseph.
36.6 This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed
the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please,
only let them marry [men] of their father's tribe.
36.7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of
Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall
steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.
36.8 And whatever daughter is heiress to a property
of the tribes of the children Israel, [such] women shall be married
each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may each
inherit the property of his father's tribe.
36.9 And the inheritance shall not go about from one
tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue
each in his on inheritance.
36.10 As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.
36.11 So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;
36.12 they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of
the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of
their father's family.
36.13 These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and
the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the
west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
