on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees

1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers

1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither
take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle
of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that
belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof;
and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites
shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites
shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents,
every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout
their hosts.
1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle
of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by
his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about
the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun
shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their

the son of Zurishaddai.

2:16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were
an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty,
throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
2:17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set
forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they
encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
2:18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp
of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim
shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
2:19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

2:20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the

2:23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

2:24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were

2:25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the

2:26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

2:27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe
of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the

2:28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
2:29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the
children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
2:30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
2:31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were
an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They
shall go hindmost with their standards.
2:32 These are those which were numbered of the children
of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of
the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand
and five hundred and fifty.
2:33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children
of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and
so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house
of their fathers.
3:1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses
in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
3:2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab
the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests
which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they
offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they
had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office
in the sight of Aaron their father.
3:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before
Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
3:7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of
the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do
the service of the tabernacle.
3:8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the
service of the tabernacle.
3:9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to
his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they
shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
3:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among
the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix
among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day
that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me
all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I
am the LORD.
3:14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness
of Sinai, saying,
3:15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their
fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt
thou number them.
3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of
the LORD, as he was commanded.
3:17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names;
Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
3:18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by
their families; Libni, and Shimei.
3:19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram,
and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
3:20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli,

3:22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the
number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were

3:23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind
the tabernacle westward.
3:24 And the chief of the house of the father of the
Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle
of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering
thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
3:26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for
the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round
about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
3:27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and
the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the
family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
3:28 In the number of all the males, from a month old
and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of
the sanctuary.
3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on
the side of the tabernacle southward.
3:30 And the chief of the house of the father of the
families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
3:31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table,
and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith
they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
3:32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be

keep the charge of the sanctuary.
3:33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the

3:34 And those that were numbered of them, according
to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand
and two hundred.
3:35 And the chief of the house of the father of the
families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on
the side of the tabernacle northward.
3:36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of
Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and
the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof,
and all that serveth thereto,
3:37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their
sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
3:38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward
the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall
be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for
the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses
and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families,
all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
3:40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn
of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and
take the number of their names.
3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the
LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the
cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of
the children of Israel.
3:42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all
the firstborn among the children of Israel.
3:43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names,
from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were
twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
3:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among
the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their
cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.
3:46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two
hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of
Israel, which are more than the Levites;
3:47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the
poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel
is twenty gerahs:)
3:48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd
number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that
were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
3:50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took
he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary:
3:51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed
unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the
sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty
years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
4:4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in
the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
4:5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come,
and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the
ark of testimony with it:
4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins,
and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves
thereof.
4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread
a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls,
and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet,
and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in
the staves thereof.
4:9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the
candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes,
and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
4:10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof
within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
4:11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth
of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
to the staves thereof:
4:12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry,
wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue,
and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on
a bar:
4:13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar,
and spread a purple cloth thereon:
4:14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and
the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall
spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
4:15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of
covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp
is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it:
but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are
the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the
daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels
thereof.
4:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
4:18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the
Kohathites from among the Levites:
4:19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not
die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall
go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
4:20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things
are covered, lest they die.
4:21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
4:22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout
the houses of their fathers, by their families;
4:23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years
old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to
do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites,
to serve, and for burdens:
4:25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle,
and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering
of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation,
4:26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for
the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the
altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service,
and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
4:27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be
all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and
in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their
burdens.
4:28 This is the service of the families of the sons
of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall
be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them
after their families, by the house of their fathers;
4:30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty
years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service,
to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:31 And this is the charge of their burden, according
to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards
of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets
thereof,
4:32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their
sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and
with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of
the charge of their burden.
4:33 This is the service of the families of the sons
of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the
house of their fathers,
4:35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty
years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation:
4:36 And those that were numbered of them by their families
were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
4:37 These were they that were numbered of the families

by the hand of Moses.
4:38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,

4:44 Even those that were numbered of them after their
families, were three thousand and two hundred.
4:45 These be those that were numbered of the families
of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word
of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
4:46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom
Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families,
and after the house of their fathers,
4:47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty
years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the
service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight
thousand and five hundred and fourscore,
4:49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were
numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and
according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded
Moses.
5:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out
of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever
is defiled by the dead:
5:3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the
camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst
whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out
without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
5:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or
woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the
LORD, and that person be guilty;
5:7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have
done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof,
and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom
he hath trespassed.
5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the
trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the
priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be
made for him.
5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the
children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever
any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
5:13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from
the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there
be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he
be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
5:15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest,
and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of
barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon;
for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity
to remembrance.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her
before the LORD:
5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen
vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest
shall take, and put it into the water:
5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD,
and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands,
which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the
bitter water that causeth the curse:
5:19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and
say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not
gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou
free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
5:20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of
thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside
thine husband:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath
of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee
a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh
to rot, and thy belly to swell;
5:22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into
thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman
shall say, Amen, amen.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book,
and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter
water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her, and become bitter.
5:25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering
out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and
offer it upon the altar:
5:26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering,
even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall
cause the woman to drink the water.
5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then
it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass
against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter
into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall
rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then
she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth
aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him,
and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD,
and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and
this woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite,
to separate themselves unto the LORD:
6:3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink,
and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither
shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing
that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall
no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which
he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the
locks of the hair of his head grow.
6:6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the
LORD he shall come at no dead body.
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father,
or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because
the consecration of his God is upon his head.
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the
LORD.
6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath
defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the
day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles,
or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
6:11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for
that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
6:12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of
his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass
offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation
was defiled.
6:13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days
of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
6:14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one
he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one
ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one
ram without blemish for peace offerings,
6:15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine
flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil,
and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
6:16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD,
and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
6:17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest
shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair
of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the
sacrifice of the peace offerings.
6:19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of
the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened
wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair
of his separation is shaven:
6:20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering
before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and
heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
6:21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed,
and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that
his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do
after the law of his separation.
6:22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this
wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious
unto 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 will bless them.
7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully
set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all
the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and
had anointed them, and sanctified them;
7:2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of
their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that
were numbered, offered:
7:3 And they brought their offering before the LORD,
six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and
for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
7:4 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7:5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the
Levites, to every man according to his service.
7:6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave
them unto the Levites.
7:7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of
Gershon, according to their service:
7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons
of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the
son of Aaron the priest.
7:9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because
the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear
upon their shoulders.
7:10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar
in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering
before the altar.
7:11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their
offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

7:89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the
congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking
unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from
between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.
8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest
the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
8:3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over
against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold,
unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according
unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel,
and cleanse them.
8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them:
Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh,
and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8:8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat
offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt
thou take for a sin offering.
8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle
of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children
of Israel together:
8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD:
and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
8:11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD
for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service
of the LORD.
8:12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads
of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the
Levites.
8:13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and
before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
8:14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among
the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the
service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them,
and offer them for an offering.
8:16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the
children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of
the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
8:17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel
are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in
the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn
of the children of Israel.
8:19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron
and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of
the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make
an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among
the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the
sanctuary.
8:20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the
LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel
unto them.
8:21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron
made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
8:22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service
in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons:
as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto
them.
8:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from
twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the
service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease
waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
8:26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle
of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus
shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
9:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of
Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of
the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover
at his appointed season.
9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye
shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it,
and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that
they should keep the passover.
9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day
of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
9:6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the
dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day:
and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
9:7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the
dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an
offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will
hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
9:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any
man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body,
or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they
shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor
break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they
shall keep it.
9:13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey,
and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off
from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD
in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will
keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover,
and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one
ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up
the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and
at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire,
until the morning.
9:16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and
the appearance of fire by night.
9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle,
then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where
the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
9:18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as
the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle
many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and
journeyed not.
9:20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon
the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in
their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
9:21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto
the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they
journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up,
they journeyed.
9:22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year,
that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children
of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken
up, they journeyed.
9:23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the
tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the
charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece
shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the
assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly
shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
10:4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the
princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on
the east parts shall go forward.
10:6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the
camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow
an alarm for their journeys.
10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together,
ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with
the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout
your generations.
10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy
that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and
ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved
from your enemies.
10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn
days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets
over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings;
that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your
God.
10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the
second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off
the tabernacle of the testimony.
10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys
out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness
of Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey according to
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:14 In the first place went the standard of the camp
of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was
Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons
of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:
and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of
Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama
the son of Ammihud.
10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of
Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their
hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel
according to their armies, when they set forward.
10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the
Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which
the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee
good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will
depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch
as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest
be to us instead of eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall
be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto
thee.
10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three
days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them
in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day,
when they went out of the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward,
that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and
let them that hate thee flee before thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto
the many thousands of Israel.
11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the
LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of
the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost
parts of the camp.
11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses
prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because
the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell
a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall
give us flesh to eat?
11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt
freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
the garlick:
11:6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing
at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
11:7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour
thereof as the colour of bdellium.
11:8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and
ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made
cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night,
the manna fell upon it.
11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their
families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11:11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight,
that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
11:12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten
them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing
father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto
their fathers?
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this
people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because
it is too heavy for me.
11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray
thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not
see my wretchedness.
11:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy
men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the
people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the
congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there:
and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon
them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou
bear it not thyself alone.
11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves
against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears
of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with
us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five
days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
11:20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your
nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the
LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we
forth out of Egypt?
11:21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are
six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,
that they may eat a whole month.
11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them,
to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together
for them, to suffice them?
11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand
waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto
thee or not.
11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words
of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people,
and set them round about the tabernacle.
11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto
him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy
elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied, and did not cease.
11:26 But there remained two of the men in the camp,
the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the
spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went
not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and
said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses,
one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake?
would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would
put his spirit upon them!
11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders
of Israel.
11:31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and
brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were
a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other
side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face
of the earth.
11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that
night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered
least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves
round about the camp.
11:33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth,
ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people,
and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:
because there they buried the people that lusted.
11:35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah
unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because
of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
woman.
12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only
by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the
men which were upon the face of the earth.)
12:4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto
Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And they three came out.
12:5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and
they both came forth.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet
among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and
will speak unto him in a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all
mine house.
12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently,
and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them;
and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle;
and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech
thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein
we have sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is
half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her
now, O God, I beseech thee.
12:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had
but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be
shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in
again.
12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days:
and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth,
and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of
Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their
fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them
from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children
of Israel.
13:4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben,
Shammua the son of Zaccur.
13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of
Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent
to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan,
and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
13:18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that
dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
13:19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether
it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether
in tents, or in strong holds;
13:20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean,
whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring
of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the
wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron;
where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron
was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
13:23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut
down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it
between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of
the figs.
13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because
of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after
forty days.
13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron,
and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness
of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the
congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and
this is the fruit of it.
13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in
the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw
the children of Anak there.
13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south:
and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains:
and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and
said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome
it.
13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not
able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land
which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land,
through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants
thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.
14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice,
and cried; and the people wept that night.
14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would
God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in
this wilderness!
14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this
land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a
prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain,
and let us return into Egypt.
14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before
all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children
of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an
exceeding good land.
14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us
into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear
ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is
departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.
And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation
before all the children of Israel.
14:11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this
people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all
the signs which I have shewed among them?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit
them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians
shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among
them;)
14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this
land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou
LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and
that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in
a pillar of fire by night.
14:15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man,
then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
14:16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people
into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in
the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD
be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy,
forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation.
14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this
people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to
thy word:
14:21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be
filled with the glory of the LORD.
14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory,
and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted
me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware
unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit
with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto
he went; and his seed shall possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in
the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the
way of the Red sea.
14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation,
which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of
Israel, which they murmur against me.
14:28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD,
as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and
all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty
years old and upward which have murmured against me.
14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning
which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a
prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have
despised.
14:32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall
in this wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness
forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in
the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched
the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities,
even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto
all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this
wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land,
who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing
up a slander upon the land,
14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report
upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children
of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat
them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will
go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress
the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
14:42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that
ye be not smitten before your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there
before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away
from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless
the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the
camp.
14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites
which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto
Hormah.
15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto
you,
15:3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD,
a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill
offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD,
of the herd or of the flock:
15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the
LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
part of an hin of oil.
15:5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink
offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one
lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering
two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third
part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering,
or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
15:9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering
of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half
an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one
ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare,
so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
15:13 All that are born of the country shall do these
things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the LORD.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever
be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15:15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation,
and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever
in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for
the stranger that sojourneth with you.
15:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread
of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough
for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor,
so shall ye heave it.
15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the
LORD an heave offering in your generations.
15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these
commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the
hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward
among your generations;
15:24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance
without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall
offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the
LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the
manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all
the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them;
for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made
by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their
ignorance:
15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of
the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing
all the people were in ignorance.
15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he
shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the
soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD,
to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through
ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and
for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
15:30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether
he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and
that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD,
and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his
iniquity shall be upon him.
15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought
him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared
what should be done to him.
15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be
surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without
the camp.
15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the
camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
15:37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them
that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout
their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband
of blue:
15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye
may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do
them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after
which ye use to go a whoring:
15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments,
and be holy unto your God.
15:41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of
the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath,
the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the
son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the
children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous
in the congregation, men of renown:
16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses
and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing
all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among
them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the
LORD?
16:4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company,
saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy;
and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen
will he cause to come near unto him.
16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before
the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose,
he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye
sons of Levi:
16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the
God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring
you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and
to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
16:10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy
brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
16:11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are
gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against
him?
16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons
of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
16:13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up
out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,
except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that
floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards:
wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD,
Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither
have I hurt one of them.
16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy
company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense
in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred
and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire
in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against
them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory
of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation,
that I may consume them in a moment.
16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God,
the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation?
16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up
from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram;
and the elders of Israel followed him.
16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart,
I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's,
lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan,
and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in
the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little
children.
16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD
hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own
mind.
16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or
if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath
not sent me.
16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth
open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them,
and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these
men have provoked the LORD.
16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking
all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them
up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and
all their goods.
16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down
alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from
among the congregation.
16:34 And all Israel that were round about them fled
at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed
the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,
that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire
yonder; for they are hallowed.
16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own
souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for
they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they
shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers,
wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates
for a covering of the altar:
16:40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that
no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense
before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD
said to him by the hand of Moses.
16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children
of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed
the people of the LORD.
16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was
gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle
of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of
the LORD appeared.
16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle
of the congregation.
16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I
may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put
fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto
the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone
out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into
the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among
the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and
the plague was stayed.
16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen
thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every
one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their
princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou
every man's name upon his rod.
17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of
Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of
the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom
I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings
of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and
every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one,
according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron
was among their rods.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
tabernacle of witness.
17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went
into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house
of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded
almonds.
17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the
LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man
his rod.
17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod
again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels;
and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die
not.
17:11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so
did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle
of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
18:1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons
and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary:
and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the
tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto
thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister
before the tabernacle of witness.
18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of
all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary
and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the
charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the
tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and
the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children
of Israel.
18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites
from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for
the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep
your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail;
and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service
of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
18:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have
given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things
of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the
anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved
from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs,
and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs
which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy
sons.
18:10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every
male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
18:11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their
gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given
them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute
for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the
wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer
unto the LORD, them have I given thee.
18:13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which
they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean
in thine house shall eat of it.
18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
18:15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh,
which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be
thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and
the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month
old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of
five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of
a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy:
thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat
for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
18:18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave
breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which
the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy
sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant
of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have
no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them:
I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi
all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they
serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth
come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of
Israel they have no inheritance.
18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which
they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites
to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel
they shall have no inheritance.
18:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you
from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering
of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
18:27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned
unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the
fulness of the winepress.
18:28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto
the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel;
and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave
offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof
out of it.
18:30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have
heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites
as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your
households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of
the congregation.
18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when
ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy
things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
19:2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD
hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring
thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never
came yoke:
19:3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that
he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before
his face:
19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with
his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of
the congregation seven times:
19:5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her
skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop,
and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall
bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and
the priest shall be unclean until the even.
19:8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in
water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
19:9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes
of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it
shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water
of separation: it is a purification for sin.
19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall
wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the
children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for
a statute for ever.
19:11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall
be unclean seven days.
19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day,
and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself
the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that
is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD;
and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation
was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet
upon him.
19:14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all
that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean
seven days.
19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound
upon it, is unclean.
19:16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a
sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave,
shall be unclean seven days.
19:17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the
ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall
be put thereto in a vessel:
19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it
in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels,
and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone,
or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19:19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean
on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall
purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall
be clean at even.
19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not
purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation,
because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation
hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them,
that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes;
and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
19:22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall
be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
20:1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole
congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people
abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and
they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
20:3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying,
Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
20:4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the
LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
20:5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of
Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or
of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to
drink.
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the
assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they
fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
20:7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together,
thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes;
and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water
out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as
he commanded him.
20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together
before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch
you water out of this rock?
20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod
he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation
drank, and their beasts also.
20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because
ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have
given them.
20:13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children
of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the
king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail
that hath befallen us:
20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have
dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
20:16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice,
and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold,
we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
20:17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country:
we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither
will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high
way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have
passed thy borders.
20:18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by
me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
20:19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will
go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will
pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my
feet.
20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom
came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through
his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
20:22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,
journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
20:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount
Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he
shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel,
because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them
up unto mount Hor:
20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon
Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall
die there.
20:27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went
up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put
them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount:
and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was
dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
21:1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in
the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he
fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
21:2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said,
If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly
destroy their cities.
21:3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and
delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their
cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of
the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of the way.
21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses,
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth
this light bread.
21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people,
and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We
have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray
unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed
for the people.
21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery
serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every
one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon
a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when
he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
21:10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched
in Oboth.
21:11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim,
in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
21:12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley
of Zared.
21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other
side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts
of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the
Amorites.
21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of
the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
21:15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down
to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
21:16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the
well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and
I will give them water.
21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well;
sing ye unto it:
21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the
people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel
to Bamoth:
21:20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country
of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, saying,
21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn
into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters
of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past
thy borders.
21:23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through
his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against
Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword,
and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of
Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt
in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof.
21:26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the
Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all
his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
21:27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come
into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
21:28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame
from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the
high places of Arnon.
21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of
Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity
unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even
unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth
unto Medeba.
21:31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took
the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
21:33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan:
and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people,
to the battle at Edrei.
21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for
I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and
thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which
dwelt at Heshbon.
21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people,
until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched
in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
22:2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel
had done to the Amorites.
22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because
they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall
this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up
the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites
at that time.
22:5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son
of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of
his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from
Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against
me:
22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people;
for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may
smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he
whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian
departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto
Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and
I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes
of Moab abode with Balaam.
22:9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are
these with thee?
22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor,
king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
22:11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which
covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I
shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
22:12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with
them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto
the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to
give me leave to go with you.
22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went
unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
22:15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more
honourable than they.
22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus
saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from
coming unto me:
22:17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour,
and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee,
curse me this people.
22:18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants
of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot
go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
22:19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this
night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
22:20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto
him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the
word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled
his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and
the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now
he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
22:23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing
in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out
of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn
her into the way.
22:24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the
vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
22:25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she
thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall:
and he smote her again.
22:26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood
in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or
to the left.
22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she
fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the
ass with a staff.
22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she
said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
these three times?
22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast
mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill
thee.
22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass,
upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I
ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he
saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his
hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore
hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand
thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three
times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee,
and saved her alive.
22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have
sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore,
if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
22:35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go
with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou
shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went
out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which
is in the utmost coast.
22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly
send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not
able indeed to promote thee to honour?
22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto
thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth
in my mouth, that shall I speak.
22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto
Kirjathhuzoth.
22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam,
and to the princes that were with him.
22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took
Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he
might see the utmost part of the people.
23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven
altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and
Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
23:3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering,
and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever
he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
23:4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have
prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and
a ram.
23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,
Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
23:6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his
burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the
king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,
saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
23:8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or
how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from
the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not
be reckoned among the nations.
23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number
of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and
let my last end be like his!
23:11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done
unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed
them altogether.
23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed
to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
23:13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with
me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see
but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them
from thence.
23:14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to
the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.
23:15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt
offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
23:16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his
mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his
burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him,
What hath the LORD spoken?
23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up,
Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the
son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and
he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath
he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout
of a king is among them.
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were
the strength of an unicorn.
23:23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither
is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall
be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion,
and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat
of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
23:25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them
at all, nor bless them at all.
23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not
I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee,
I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that
thou mayest curse me them from thence.
23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor,
that looketh toward Jeshimon.
23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven
altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a
bullock and a ram on every altar.
24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to
bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments,
but he set his face toward the wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel
abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came
upon him.
24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the
son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which
saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes
open:
24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles,
O Israel!
24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens
by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted,
and as cedar trees beside the waters.
24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and
his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag,
and his kingdom shall be exalted.
24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it
were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies,
and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great
lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed
is he that curseth thee.
24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and
he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee
to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these
three times.
24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought
to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back
from honour.
24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to
thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver
and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either
good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore,
and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the
latter days.
24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the
son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and
knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty,
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him,
but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall
rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all
the children of Sheth.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall
be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,
and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
24:20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable,
and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall
be that he perish for ever.
24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable,
and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until
Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who
shall live when God doeth this!
24:24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim,
and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish
for ever.
24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his
place: and Balak also went his way.
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began
to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of
their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the
anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads
of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the
fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye
every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
25:6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came
and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses,
and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who
were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of
Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took
a javelin in his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent,
and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and
four thousand.
25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while
he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children
of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant
of peace:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even
the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his
God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even
that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu,
a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was
slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of
a chief house in Midian.
25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they
have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the
daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day
of the plague for Peor's sake.
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD
spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children
of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers'
house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them
in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
26:4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old
and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which
went forth out of the land of Egypt.
26:5 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of
Reuben; Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu,
the family of the Palluites:
26:6 Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi,

26:7 These are the families of the Reubenites: and they
that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred
and thirty.
26:8 And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
26:9 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.
This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation,
who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when
they strove against the LORD:
26:10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them
up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured
two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
26:11 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

26:34 These are the families of Manasseh, and those that

26:52 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26:53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance
according to the number of names.
26:54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and
to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance
be given according to those that were numbered of him.
26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot:
according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof
be divided between many and few.
26:57 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites
after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath,
the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
26:58 These are the families of the Levites: the family
of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites,
the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat
Amram.
26:59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the
daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto
Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
26:60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange
fire before the LORD.
26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty
and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were
not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance
given them among the children of Israel.
26:63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and
Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom
Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of
Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
26:65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely
die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of
Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his
daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar
the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not
in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD
in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from
among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession
among the brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt
surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren;
and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance
to pass unto his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give
his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall
give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family,
and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a
statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into
this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children
of Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be
gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert
of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water
before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness
of Zin.
27:15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
set a man over the congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go
in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in;
that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua
the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before
all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him,
that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who
shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at
his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he,
and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
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 upon him, and gave him a
charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
28:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,
My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour
unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering
made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first
year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and
the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
28:5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat
offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
28:6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained
in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
28:7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth
part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the
strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as
the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou
shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
28:9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year
without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
28:10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside
the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer
a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven
lambs of the first year without spot;
28:12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat
offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;
28:13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with
oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin
of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a
fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every
month throughout the months of the year.
28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto
the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his
drink offering.
28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is
the passover of the LORD.
28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast:
seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
28:18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation;
ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:
28:19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for
a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven
lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
28:20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled
with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth
deals for a ram;
28:21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every
lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
28:22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement
for you.
28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering
in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout
the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering,
and his drink offering.
28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation;
ye shall do no servile work.
28:26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring
a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have
an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
28:27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet
savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first
year;
28:28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil,
three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
28:29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout
the seven lambs;
28:30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement
for you.
28:31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt
offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish)
and their drink offerings.
29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the
month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
29:2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet
savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the
first year without blemish:
29:3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled
with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
29:4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
29:5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to
make an atonement for you:
29:6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his
meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and
their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour,
a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
29:7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh
month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not
do any work therein:
29:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD
for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the
first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
29:9 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled
with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
29:10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
29:11 One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside
the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the
meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.
29:12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye
shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall
keep a feast unto the LORD seven days:
29:13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks,
two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
29:14 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled
with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks,
two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams,
29:15 And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen
lambs:
29:16 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside
the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:17 And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young
bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
29:18 And their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner:
29:19 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside
the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their
drink offerings.
29:20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams,
fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;
29:21 And their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner:
29:22 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:23 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and
fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
29:24 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for
the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their
number, after the manner:
29:25 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside
the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and
fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
29:27 And their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner:
29:28 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams,
and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
29:30 And their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner:
29:31 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:32 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams,
and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
29:33 And their meat offering and their drink offerings
for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to
their number, after the manner:
29:34 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly:
ye shall do no servile work therein:
29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven
lambs of the first year without blemish:
29:37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for
the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their
number, after the manner:
29:38 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:39 These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your
set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt
offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and
for your peace offerings.
29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning
the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath
to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do
according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind
herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith
she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then
all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul
shall stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he
heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound
her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father
disallowed her.
30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed,
or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at
her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that
he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which
she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect:
and the LORD shall forgive her.
30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,
wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound
her soul by a bond with an oath;
30:11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at
her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void
on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning
her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband
hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the
soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at
her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds,
which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her
in the day that he heard them.
30:15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that
he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded
Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter,
being yet in her youth in her father's house.
31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some
of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and
avenge the LORD of Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes
of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of
Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every
tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with
the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD
commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest
of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and
Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with
the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took all the women of
Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their
cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt,
and all their goodly castles, with fire.
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey,
both of men and of beasts.
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and
the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation
of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are
by Jordan near Jericho.
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the
princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,
with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came
from the battle.
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the
women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through
the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter
of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little
ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known
a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever
hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both
yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
31:20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made
of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war
which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD
commanded Moses;
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the lead,
31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make
it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be
purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire
ye shall make go through the water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day,
and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of
man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of
the congregation:
31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them
that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
congregation:
31:28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of
war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons,
and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
31:29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar
the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt
take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses,
and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites,
which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD
commanded Moses.
31:32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which
the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand
and five thousand sheep,
31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of
women that had not known man by lying with him.
31:36 And the half, which was the portion of them that
went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty
thousand and five hundred sheep:
31:37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred
and threescore and fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of
which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred;
of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which
the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's
heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses
divided from the men that warred,
31:43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation
was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five
hundred sheep,
31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
31:47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took
one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the
Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
31:48 And the officers which were over thousands of the
host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto
Moses:
31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken
the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh
not one man of us.
31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD,
what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold
of them, even all wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered
up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds,
was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
31:53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man
for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold
of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle
of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the
LORD.
32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad
had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer,
and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
32:2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came
and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of
the congregation, saying,
32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon,
and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the
congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in
thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and
bring us not over Jordan.
32:6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the
children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
32:7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children
of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea
to see the land.
32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol,
and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel,
that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
32:10 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time,
and he sware, saying,
32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt,
from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed
me:
32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and
Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
32:13 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel,
and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation,
that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead,
an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD
toward Israel.
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet
again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
32:16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will
build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the
children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our
little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants
of the land.
32:18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children
of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side
Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side
Jordan eastward.
32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing,
if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before
the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
32:22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward
ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and
this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned
against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds
for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all
our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed
for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the
priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes
of the children of Israel:
32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad
and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed
to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then
ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
32:30 But if they will not pass over with you armed,
they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the
land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan
may be ours.
32:33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children
of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh
the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts,
even the cities of the country round about.
32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth,
and Aroer,
32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and
folds for sheep.
32:37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh,
and Kirjathaim,
32:38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,)
and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
32:39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh
went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in
it.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh;
and he dwelt therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the
small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages
thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel,
which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand
of Moses and Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their
journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according
to their goings out.
33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month,
on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover
the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the
Egyptians.
33:4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which
the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed
judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses,
and pitched in Succoth.
33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,
which is in the edge of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto
Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed
through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'
journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim:
and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm
trees; and they pitched there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the
Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped
in the wilderness of Sin.
33:12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness

33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in

33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in

33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped

33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in

33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped

33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in

33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at

33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at
Eziongaber.
33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in
the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount
Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at
the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after
the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first
day of the fifth month.
33:39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years
old when he died in mount Hor.
33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the
south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in

33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in

33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim,
and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even
unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of
the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all
their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
33:53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the
land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance
among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance,
and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance
shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of
your fathers ye shall inherit.
33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of
the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which
ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your
sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do
unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall
unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness
of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost
coast of the salt sea eastward:
34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to the
ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall
be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass
on to Azmon:
34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon
unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
34:6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have
the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great
sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
34:8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto
the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to
Zedad:
34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings
out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan
to Shepham:
34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah,
on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach
unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the
goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with
the coasts thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying,
This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded
to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according
to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according
to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half
the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received
their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the
sunrising.
34:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17 These are the names of the men which shall divide
the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to
divide the land by inheritance.
34:19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe
of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
34:20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel
the son of Ammihud.
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe
of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
34:29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide
the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab
by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto
the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in;
and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about
them.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and
the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and
for all their beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give
unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand
cubits round about.
35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the
east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits,
and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand
cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs
of the cities.
35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the
Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for
the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty
and two cities.
35:7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites
shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the
possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall
give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall
give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which
he inheriteth.
35:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of
refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person
at unawares.
35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from
the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation
in judgment.
35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities
shall ye have for refuge.
35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan,
and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities
of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the
children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them:
that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron,
so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith
he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be
put to death.
35:18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood,
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:
when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him
by laying of wait, that he die;
35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die:
he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the
revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or
have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing
him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither
sought his harm:
35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer
and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out
of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore
him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide
in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy
oil.
35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without
the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the
borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer;
he shall not be guilty of blood:
35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of
his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the
high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
35:29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment
unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be
put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify
against any person to cause him to die.
35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the
life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put
to death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that
is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in
the land, until the death of the priest.
35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are:
for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the
blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit,
wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children
of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the
sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes,
the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give
the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord
was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
unto his daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the
other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be
taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the
lot of our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall
be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from
the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according
to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said
well.
36:6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think
best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of
Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance
in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family
of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every
man the inheritance of his fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe
to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters
of Zelophehad:
36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and
Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers'
sons:
36:12 And they were married into the families of the
sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the
tribe of the family of their father.
36:13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which
the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in
the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
