The Fourth Book of Moses, called Numbers
1:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the
second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of
Egypt, saying, 1:2Take ye the sum of all the congregation
of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
according to the number of the names, every male, by their polls; 1:3from
twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in
Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts. 1:4And
with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his
fathers' house. 1:5And these are the names of the men that
shall stand with you. Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur. 1:6Of
Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 1:7Of Judah: Nahshon the
son of Amminadab. 1:8Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.
1:9Of
Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon. 1:10Of the children of Joseph: Of Ephraim:
Elishama the son of Ammihud. Of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 1:11Of
Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni. 1:12Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai. 1:13Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran. 1:14Of
Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 1:15Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan. 1:16These are they that were called of the
congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the
heads of the thousands of Israel. 1:17And Moses and Aaron took these men
that are mentioned by name: 1:18And they assembled all the
congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they
declared their pedigrees after their families, by their fathers' houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by
their polls. 1:19As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he
numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
1:20And the children of Reuben, Israel's
first-born, their generations, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
1:21those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
1:22Of the children of Simeon, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, those that were
numbered thereof, according to the number of the names, by their polls,

the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
1:24Of the children of Gad, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:25those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. 1:26Of
the children of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their
fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years
old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 1:27those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
1:28Of the children of Issachar, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:29those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
1:30Of the children of Zebulun, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:31those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
1:32Of the children of Joseph,
namely, of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
1:33those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.
1:34Of the children of Manasseh, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:35those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
1:36Of the children of Benjamin, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:37those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
1:38Of the children of Dan, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:39those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
1:40Of the children of Asher, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:41those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
1:42Of the children of Naphtali, their

number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able

the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
1:44These are they that were numbered,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve
men: they were each one for his fathers' house. 1:45So all they that were
numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty
years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 1:46even all they that were numbered were
six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
1:47But the Levites after the tribe of
their fathers were not numbered among them. 1:48For Jehovah spake unto
Moses, saying, 1:49Only the tribe of Levi thou shalt not
number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of
Israel; 1:50but appoint thou the Levites over the
tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over
all that belongeth to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the
furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle. 1:51And 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. 1:52And the children of Israel shall pitch
their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
according to their hosts. 1:53But the Levites shall encamp round
about the tabernacle of the 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 the testimony. 1:54Thus did the children
of Israel; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 2:2The children of Israel shall encamp
every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses:
over against the tent of meeting shall they encamp round about. 2:3And
those that encamp on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of
the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the
prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 2:4And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and
fourteen thousand and six hundred. 2:5And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar
shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. 2:6And his host, and those that were
numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 2:7And the tribe of Zebulun: and
the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. 2:8And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven
thousand and four hundred. 2:9All that were numbered of the camp of
Judah were a hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and
four hundred, according to their hosts. They shall set forth first.
2:10On the south side shall be the
standard of the camp of Reuben according to their hosts: and the prince of
the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 2:11And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six
thousand and five hundred. 2:12And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the prince of the children of Simeon
shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 2:13And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three
hundred. 2:14And the tribe of Gad: and the prince
of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 2:15And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five
thousand and six hundred and fifty. 2:16All that were numbered of the camp of
Reuben were a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred
and fifty, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth second.
2:17Then the tent of meeting shall set
forward, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they
encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their
standards.
2:18On the west side shall be the standard
of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts: and the prince of the
children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 2:19And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and
five hundred. 2:20And next unto him shall be the tribe
of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel
the son of Pedahzur. 2:21And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 2:22And
the tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be
Abidan the son of Gideoni. 2:23And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 2:24All
that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred thousand and
eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set
forth third.
2:25On the north side shall be the
standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts: and the prince of
the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 2:26And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two
thousand and seven hundred. 2:27And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall
be Pagiel the son of Ochran. 2:28And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 2:29And
the tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be
Ahira the son of Enan. 2:30And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 2:31All
that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred thousand and fifty
and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall set forth hindmost by their
standards.
2:32These are they that were numbered of
the children of Israel by their fathers' houses: all that were numbered of
the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three
thousand and five hundred and fifty. 2:33But the Levites were not numbered
among the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 2:34Thus did the children of Israel;
according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they encamped by their
standards, and so they set forward, every one by their families, according
to their fathers' houses.
3:1Now these are the generations of Aaron
and Moses in the day that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 3:2And
these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3:3These are the names of the sons of
Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in
the priest's office. 3:4And Nadab and Abihu died before
Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness
of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
3:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set
them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 3:7And
they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation
before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:8And
they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge
of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:9And
thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly
given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel. 3:10And
thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their
priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
3:11And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:12And I, behold, I have taken the
Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the first-born
that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall
be mine: 3:13for all the first-born are mine; on
the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed
unto me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast; mine they shall
be: I am Jehovah.
3:14And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, saying, 3:15Number the children of Levi by their
fathers' houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward
shalt thou number them. 3:16And Moses numbered them according to
the word of Jehovah, as he was commanded. 3:17And these were the
sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 3:18And
these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and
Shimei. 3:19And the sons of Kohath by their
families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 3:20And the sons of Merari
by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
according to their fathers' houses.
3:21Of Gershon was the family of the
Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the
Gershonites. 3:22Those that were numbered of them,
according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five
hundred. 3:23The families of the Gershonites shall
encamp behind the tabernacle westward. 3:24And the prince of the
fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 3:25And
the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting shall be the
tabernacle, and the Tent, the covering thereof, and the screen for the
door of the tent of meeting, 3:26and the hangings of the court, and the
screen 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.
3:27And of Kohath was the family of the
Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the
Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of
the Kohathites. 3:28According to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six
hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 3:29The families of the
sons of Kohath shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle southward. 3:30And
the prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall
be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 3:31And 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 screen, and all the service
thereof. 3:32And Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, and have the
oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
3:33Of Merari was the family of the
Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of
Merari. 3:34And 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. 3:35And the prince of the fathers' house
of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: they shall encamp
on the side of the tabernacle northward. 3:36And the appointed
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 instruments thereof, and all the service thereof, 3:37and
the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins,
and their cords.
3:38And those that encamp before the
tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising,
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. 3:39All that were numbered of the Levites,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their
families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two
thousand.
3:40And Jehovah said unto Moses, Number
all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and
upward, and take the number of their names. 3:41And thou shalt take
the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the first-born among the
children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the
firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel: 3:42and
Moses numbered, as Jehovah commanded him, all the first-born among the
children of Israel. 3:43And all the first-born males according
to 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.
3:44And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:45Take the Levites instead of all the
first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites
instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Jehovah. 3:46And
for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the
first-born of the children of Israel, that are over and above the
number of the Levites, 3:47thou shalt take five shekels apiece by
the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the
shekel is twenty gerahs): 3:48and thou shalt give the money,
wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49And Moses took the redemption-money
from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites;
3:50from the first-born of the children of
Israel took he the money, a thousand three hundred and threescore and five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 3:51and Moses gave the
redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of
Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
4:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 4:2Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from
among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 4:3from
thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter
upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4:4This
is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about
the most holy things: 4:5when the camp setteth forward, Aaron
shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the
screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it, 4:6and shall put thereon a
covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and
shall put in the staves thereof. 4:7And upon the table of showbread they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons,
and the bowls and the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread
shall be thereon: 4:8and they shall spread upon them a cloth
of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
in the staves thereof. 4:9And they shall take a cloth of blue,
and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers,
and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto it: 4:10and they shall put it and all the
vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the
frame. 4:11And upon the golden altar they shall
spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and
shall put in the staves thereof: 4:12and they shall take all the vessels of
ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a
cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
them on the frame. 4:13And they shall take away the ashes
from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 4:14and they shall put
upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the
firepans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the
vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of
sealskin, and put in the staves thereof. 4:15And when Aaron and his
sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of
the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath
shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they
die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of
meeting. 4:16And the charge of Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense,
and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all
the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the
furniture thereof.
4:17And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 4:18Cut ye not off the tribe of the
families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 4:19but thus do unto them,
that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy
things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his
service and to his burden; 4:20but they shall not go in to see the
sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.
4:21And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
4:22Take the sum of the sons of Gershon
also, by their fathers' houses, by their families; 4:23from thirty years old
and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in
to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4:24This is the service of the families of
the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: 4:25they shall bear the
curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the
covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of
the tent of meeting, 4:26and the hangings of the court, and the
screen 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 whatsoever shall be done with them: therein shall they
serve. 4:27At the commandment of Aaron and his
sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their
burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge
all their burden. 4:28This is the service of the families of
the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting: and their charge shall
be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt
number them by their families, by their fathers' houses; 4:30from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon
the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting. 4:31And this is the charge
of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting:
the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars
thereof, and the sockets thereof, 4:32and the pillars of the court round
about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their
instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall appoint the
instruments of the charge of their burden. 4:33This is the service of
the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the
tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34And Moses and Aaron and the princes of
the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families,
and by their fathers' houses, 4:35from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting: 4:36and those that were numbered of them
by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 4:37These are they that were numbered of
the families of the Kohathites, all that did serve in the tent of meeting,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by
Moses. 4:38And those that were numbered of the
sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:39from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting, 4:40even those that were numbered of them,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six
hundred and thirty. 4:41These are they that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of
meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of
Jehovah.
4:42And those that were numbered of the
families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, 4:43from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting, 4:44even those that were numbered of them
by their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 4:45These are they that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered
according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
4:46All those that were numbered of the
Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their
families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:47from thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the
work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,
4:48even those that were numbered of them,
were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 4:49According to the
commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, every one according to
his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him,
as Jehovah commanded Moses.
5:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2Command the children of Israel, that
they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue,
and whosoever is unclean by the dead: 5:3both male and female shall ye put out,
without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in
the midst whereof I dwell. 5:4And the children of Israel did so, and
put them out without the camp; as Jehovah spake unto Moses, so did the
children of Israel.
5:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:6Speak unto the children of Israel, When
a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass
against Jehovah, and that soul shall be guilty; 5:7then he shall confess
his sin which he hath done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in
full, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him in
respect of whom he hath been guilty. 5:8But if the man have no kinsman to whom
restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is
made unto Jehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement,
whereby atonement shall be made for him. 5:9And every
heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which
they present unto the priest, shall be his. 5:10And every man's
hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it
shall be his.
5:11And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against
him, 5:13and a man lie with her carnally, and
it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be
defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she be not taken in the
act; 5:14and the spirit of jealousy come upon
him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit
of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not
defiled: 5:15then shall the man bring his wife unto
the priest, and shall bring her oblation 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 a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of
memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
5:16And the priest shall bring her near,
and set her before Jehovah: 5:17and the priest shall take holy water
in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the
tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. 5:18And
the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and let the hair of the
woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands,
which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his
hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. 5:19And the priest shall
cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with
thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy
husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the
curse. 5:20But if thou have gone aside, being
under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with
thee besides thy husband: 5:21then the priest shall cause the woman
to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the
woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when
Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; 5:22and
this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy
body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen,
Amen.
5:23And the priest shall write these
curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:
5:24and he shall make the woman drink the
water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the
curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 5:25And the priest shall
take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave
the meal-offering before Jehovah, and bring it unto the altar: 5:26and
the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial
thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman
drink the water. 5:27And when he hath made her drink the
water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a
trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her
thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 5:28And
if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and
shall conceive seed.
5:29This is the law of jealousy, when a
wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; 5:30or
when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his
wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law. 5:31And the man shall be free from
iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow
of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah, 6:3he shall separate
himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or
vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor
eat fresh grapes or dried. 6:4All the days of his separation shall he
eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the
husk.
6:5All the days of his vow of separation
there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in
which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let
the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
6:6All the days that he separateth himself
unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body. 6:7He shall not make
himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for
his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his
head. 6:8All the days of his separation he is
holy unto Jehovah.
6:9And if any man die very suddenly beside
him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his
head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 6:10And
on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons,
to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting: 6:11and the priest shall
offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make
atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall
hallow his head that same day. 6:12And he shall separate unto Jehovah the
days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a
trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his
separation was defiled.
6:13And this is the law of the Nazirite,
when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto
the door of the tent of meeting: 6:14and he shall offer his oblation unto
Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and
one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram
without blemish for peace-offerings, 6:15and a basket of unleavened bread,
cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with
oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. 6:16And
the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his
sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: 6:17and he shall offer the
ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of
unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof,
and the drink-offering thereof. 6:18And the Nazirite shall shave the head
of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the
hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under
the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 6:19And the priest shall take the boiled
shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one
unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after
he hath shaven the head of his separation; 6:20and the priest shall
wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest,
together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite
may drink wine.
6:21This is the law of the Nazirite who
voweth, and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation,
besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he
voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.
6:22And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons,
saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say
unto them,
6:24Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25Jehovah make his face to shine upon
thee, and be gracious unto thee:
6:26Jehovah lift up his countenance upon
thee, and give thee peace.
6:27So shall they put my name upon the
children of Israel; and I will bless them.
7:1And it came to pass on the day that
Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it
and sanctified it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all
the vessels thereof, and had anointed them and sanctified them; 7:2that
the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These
were the princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that
were numbered: 7:3and they brought their oblation before
Jehovah, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the
princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the
tabernacle. 7:4And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
7:5Take it of them, that they may be
used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt
give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. 7:6And
Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 7:7Two
wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their
service: 7:8and four wagons and eight oxen he gave
unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 7:9But unto the sons of Kohath he gave
none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them; they bare
it upon their shoulders. 7:10And the princes offered for the
dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes
offered their oblation before the altar. 7:11And Jehovah said unto
Moses, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the
dedication of the altar.

7:89And when Moses went into the tent of
meeting to speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from
above the mercy-seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between
the two cherubim: and he spake unto him.
8:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him,
When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of
the candlestick. 8:3And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps
thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah
commanded Moses. 8:4And this was the work of the
candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto
the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which
Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6Take the Levites from among the
children of Israel, and cleanse them. 8:7And thus shalt thou do unto them, to
cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them
cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their
clothes, and cleanse themselves. 8:8Then let them take a young bullock, and
its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock
shalt thou take for a sin-offering. 8:9And thou shalt present the Levites
before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation
of the children of Israel: 8:10and thou shalt present the Levites
before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the
Levites: 8:11and Aaron shall offer the Levites
before Jehovah for a wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of
Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Jehovah. 8:12And
the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and
offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering,
unto Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites. 8:13And thou shalt set the
Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a
wave-offering unto Jehovah.
8:14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites
from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine. 8:15And
after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of
meeting: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
8:16For they are wholly given unto me from
among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even
the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
8:17For all the first-born among the
children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote
all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. 8:18And
I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children
of Israel. 8:19And I have given the Levites as a gift
to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the
service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make
atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the
children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the
sanctuary.
8:20Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto
all that Jehovah commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children
of Israel unto them. 8:21And the Levites purified themselves
from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a
wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse
them. 8:22And after that went the Levites in to
do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons:
as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto
them.
8:23And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24This is that which belongeth unto the
Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to
wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting: 8:25and
from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and
shall serve no more, 8:26but shall minister with their brethren
in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus
shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.
9:1And Jehovah 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, 9:2Moreover let the
children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season. 9:3In
the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its
appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to
all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it. 9:4And Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 9:5And
they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of
the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that
Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 9:6And
there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a
man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came
before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 9:7and those men said unto
him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we
kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed
season among the children of Israel? 9:8And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that
I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9:9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by
reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
passover unto Jehovah. 9:11In the second month on the fourteenth
day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread
and bitter herbs: 9:12they shall leave none of it unto the
morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the
passover they shall keep it. 9:13But the man that is clean, and is not
on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut
off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its
appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 9:14And if a stranger
shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah;
according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance
thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the
sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.
9:15And on the day that the tabernacle was
reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the
testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the
appearance of fire, until morning. 9:16So it was alway: the cloud covered it,
and the appearance of fire by night. 9:17And whenever the cloud was taken up
from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and
in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped.
9:18At the commandment of Jehovah the
children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they
encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained
encamped. 9:19And when the cloud tarried upon the
tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of
Jehovah, and journeyed not. 9:20And sometimes the cloud was a few days
upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they
remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they
journeyed. 9:21And sometimes the cloud was from
evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning,
they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the
cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 9:22Whether it were two days, or a month,
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon,
the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it
was taken up, they journeyed. 9:23At the commandment of Jehovah they
encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the
charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
10:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of
beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling
of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps. 10:3And
when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves
unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting. 10:4And if they blow but
one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto thee. 10:5And when ye blow an alarm, the camps
that lie on the east side shall take their journey. 10:6And when ye blow an
alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take
their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 10:7But
when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall
not sound an alarm. 10:8And the sons of Aaron, the priests,
shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever
throughout your generations. 10:9And when ye go to war in your land
against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm
with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and
ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10:10Also in the day of
your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your
months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the
sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a
memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
10:11And it came to pass in the second
year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the
cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony. 10:12And the children of Israel set
forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and
the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. 10:13And they first took
their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses. 10:14And in the first place the
standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to
their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10:15And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 10:16And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 10:17And the tabernacle was taken down;
and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle,
set forward. 10:18And the standard of the camp of
Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur
the son of Shedeur. 10:19And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10:20And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21And the Kohathites set forward,
bearing the sanctuary: and the others did set up the tabernacle
against their coming. 10:22And the standard of the camp of the
children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his
host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 10:23And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 10:24And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25And the standard of the camp of the
children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward
according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai. 10:26And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 10:27And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 10:28Thus were the journeyings of the
children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.
10:29And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of
Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying unto the
place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we
will do thee good; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel. 10:30And he said unto him, I will not go;
but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 10:31And he said, Leave us not, I pray
thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness,
and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes. 10:32And it shall be, if
thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do
unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
10:33And they set forward from the mount
of Jehovah three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for
them. 10:34And the cloud of Jehovah was over
them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 10:35And it came to pass,
when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let
thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
10:36And when it rested, he said, Return,
O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
11:1And the people were as murmurers,
speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heard it,
his anger was kindled; and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and
devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 11:2And the people cried
unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto Jehovah, and the fire abated. 11:3And
the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah
burnt among them.
11:4And the mixed multitude that was among
them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 11:5We remember the fish,
which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and
the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 11:6but now our soul is
dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon. 11:7And
the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the
appearance of bdellium. 11:8The people went about, and gathered
it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots,
and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
11:9And when the dew fell upon the camp in
the night, the manna fell upon it. 11:10And Moses heard the people weeping
throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the
anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 11:11And Moses said unto Jehovah,
Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? and wherefore have I not
found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people
upon me? 11:12Have I conceived all this people?
have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in
thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land
which thou swarest unto their fathers? 11:13Whence should I have
flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us
flesh, that we may eat. 11:14I am not able to bear all this people
alone, because it is too heavy for me. 11:15And if thou deal thus
with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy
sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16And Jehovah 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 tent
of meeting, that they may stand there with thee. 11:17And I will come down
and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit which is upon
thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the
people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 11:18And say thou unto the people,
Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have
wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for
it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and
ye shall eat. 11:19Ye shall not eat one day, nor two
days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 11:20but a whole month, until it come out
at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have
rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why
came we forth out of Egypt? 11:21And Moses said, The people, among
whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will
give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 11:22Shall flocks and
herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea
be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 11:23And Jehovah said unto
Moses, Is Jehovah's hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word
shall come to pass unto thee or not.
11:24And Moses went out, and told the
people the words of Jehovah: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them round about the Tent. 11:25And Jehovah came down
in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon
him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when
the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
11:26But there remained two 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
had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 11:27And there ran a young man, and told
Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 11:28And Joshua the son of Nun, the
minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord
Moses, forbid them. 11:29And Moses said unto him, Art thou
jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, that
Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them! 11:30And Moses gat him
into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31And there went forth a wind from
Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp,
about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. 11:32And the people rose up all that day,
and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that
gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for
themselves round about the camp. 11:33While the flesh was yet between their
teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the
people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague. 11:34And the name of that place was called
Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 11:35From Kibrothhattaavah the people
journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
12:1And Miriam and Aaron spake against
Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married
a Cushite woman. 12:2And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed
spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard
it. 12:3Now the man Moses was very meek, above
all the men that were upon the face of the earth.
12:4And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses,
and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of
meeting. And they three came out. 12:5And Jehovah came down in a pillar of
cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and
they both came forth. 12:6And he said, Hear now my words: if
there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in
a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 12:7My servant Moses is
not so; he is faithful in all my house: 12:8with him will I speak
mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of
Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak
against my servant, against Moses?
12:9And the anger of Jehovah was kindled
against them; and he departed. 12:10And the cloud removed from over the
Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron
looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 12:11And Aaron said unto
Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have
done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12:12Let her not, I pray,
be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of
his mother's womb. 12:13And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying,
Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 12:14And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her
father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let
her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be
brought in again. 12:15And Miriam was shut up without the
camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in
again.
12:16And afterward the people journeyed
from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2Send thou men, that they may spy out
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 prince among them.
13:3And Moses sent them from the
wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them
men who were heads of the children of Israel. 13:4And these were their
names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 13:5Of
the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 13:6Of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 13:7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son
of Joseph. 13:8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the
son of Nun. 13:9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the
son of Raphu. 13:10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the
son of Sodi. 13:11Of the tribe of Joseph,
namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 13:12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son
of Gemalli. 13:13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son
of Michael. 13:14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the
son of Vophsi. 13:15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of
Machi. 13:16These are the names of the men that
Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun
Joshua.
13:17And Moses sent them to spy out the
land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and
go up into the hill-country: 13:18and see the land, what it is; and the
people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they
are few or many; 13:19and what the land is that they dwell
in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell
in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 13:20and what the land is,
whether it is fat or lean, whether there is 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 first-ripe grapes.
13:21So they went up, and spied out the
land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 13:22And they went up by the South, and
came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak,
were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 13:23And they came unto the valley of
Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and
they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the
pomegranates, and of the figs. 13:24That place was called the valley of
Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
13:25And they returned from spying out the
land at the end of forty days. 13:26And they went and came to Moses, and
to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the
wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto
all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 13:27And they told him, and said, We came
unto the land whither thou sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and
honey; and this is the fruit of it. 13:28Howbeit the people that dwell in the
land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 13:29Amalek dwelleth in
the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite,
dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and
along by the side of the Jordan.
13:30And Caleb stilled the people before
Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well
able to overcome it. 13:31But the men that went up with him
said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger
than we. 13:32And they brought up an evil report of
the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The
land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up
the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of
great stature. 13:33And there we saw the Nephilim, the
sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
14:1And all the congregation lifted up
their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 14:2And
all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and
the whole congregation said unto them, Would that we had died in the land
of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness! 14:3And
wherefore doth Jehovah bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our
wives and our little ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to
return into Egypt?
14:4And they said one to another, Let us
make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 14:5Then Moses and Aaron
fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the
children of Israel. 14:6And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their
clothes: 14:7and they spake unto all the
congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed
through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 14:8If Jehovah delight in
us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land
which floweth with milk and honey. 14:9Only rebel not against Jehovah,
neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their
defence is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.
14:10But all the congregation bade stone
them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting
unto all the children of Israel.
14:11And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long
will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for
all the signs which I have wrought among them? 14:12I will smite them
with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation
greater and mightier than they.
14:13And Moses said unto Jehovah, Then the
Egyptians will hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might
from among them; 14:14and they will tell it to the
inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou Jehovah art in the
midst of this people; for thou Jehovah art seen face to face, and thy
cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud
by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 14:15Now if thou shalt
kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of
thee will speak, saying, 14:16Because Jehovah was not able to bring
this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath
slain them in the wilderness. 14:17And now, I pray thee, let the power
of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 14:18Jehovah is slow to anger, and
abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; and that
will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
14:19Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of
this people according unto the greatness of thy lovingkindness, and
according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20And Jehovah said, I have pardoned
according to thy word: 14:21but in very deed, as I live, and as
all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah; 14:22because all those men that have seen
my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness,
yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
14:23surely they shall not see the land
which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised
me see it: 14:24but my servant Caleb, because he had
another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into
the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 14:25Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite
dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by
the way to the Red Sea.
14:26And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 14:27How long shall I bear with
this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 14:28Say unto them, As I live, saith
Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 14:29your dead bodies shall fall in this
wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole
number, from twenty years old and upward, that have murmured against me,
14:30surely ye shall not come into the
land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 14:31But your little ones, that ye said
should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which
ye have rejected. 14:32But as for you, your dead bodies
shall fall in this wilderness. 14:33And your children shall be wanderers
in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your
dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness. 14:34After the number of
the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a
year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know
my alienation. 14:35I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely this
will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together
against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they
shall die.
14:36And the men, whom Moses sent to spy
out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur
against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 14:37even those men that did bring up an
evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah. 14:38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the
land.
14:39And Moses told these words unto all
the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 14:40And they rose up early in the
morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are
here, and will go up unto the place which Jehovah hath promised: for we
have sinned. 14:41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye
transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper? 14:42Go not up, for Jehovah is not among
you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies. 14:43For there the Amalekite and the
Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are
turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with
you. 14:44But they presumed to go up to the top
of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and
Moses, departed not out of the camp. 14:45Then the Amalekite
came down, and the Canaanite who dwelt in that mountain, and smote them
and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
15:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I
give unto you, 15:3and will make an offering by fire unto
Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a
freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto
Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock; 15:4then shall he that
offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part
of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of
oil: 15:5and wine for the drink-offering, the
fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for
the sacrifice, for each lamb. 15:6Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a
meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled
with the third part of a hin of oil: 15:7and for the drink-offering thou shalt
offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 15:8And
when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to
accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah; 15:9then shall he offer with the bullock a
meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour
mingled with half a hin of oil: 15:10and thou shalt offer for the
drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savor unto Jehovah.
15:11Thus shall it be done for each
bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. 15:12According to the number that ye shall
prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 15:13All that are home-born shall do these
things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto Jehovah. 15:14And if a stranger sojourn with you,
or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he
shall do. 15:15For the assembly, there shall be one
statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a
statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the
sojourner be before Jehovah. 15:16One law and one ordinance shall be
for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
15:17And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 15:19then it shall be, that, when ye eat
of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.
15:20Of the first of your dough ye shall
offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the
threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. 15:21Of the first of your
dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your
generations.
15:22And when ye shall err, and not
observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, 15:23even all that Jehovah hath commanded
you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward
throughout your generations; 15:24then it shall be, if it be done
unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the
congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a
sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the
drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a
sin-offering. 15:25And the priest shall make atonement
for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be
forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah,
for their error: 15:26and all the congregation of the
children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth
among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
15:27And if one person sin unwittingly,
then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering. 15:28And the priest shall make atonement
for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to
make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 15:29Ye shall have one law
for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 15:30But the soul that doeth aught with a
high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth
Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15:31Because he hath despised the word of
Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut
off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
15:32And while the children of Israel were
in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33And they that found him gathering
sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 15:34And they put him in ward, because it
had not been declared what should be done to him. 15:35And Jehovah said unto
Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall
stone him with stones without the camp. 15:36And all the
congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with
stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
15:37And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38Speak unto the children of Israel,
and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments
throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each
border a cord of blue: 15:39and it shall be unto you for a
fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of
Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your
own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot; 15:40that ye may remember
and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 15:41I
am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your
God: I am Jehovah your God.
16:1Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son
of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and
On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 16:2and
they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men
of renown; 16:3and they assembled 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 Jehovah
is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of
Jehovah?
16:4And when Moses heard it, he fell upon
his face: 16:5and he spake unto Korah and unto all
his company, saying, In the morning Jehovah will show who are his, and who
is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall
choose will he cause to come near unto him. 16:6This do: take you
censers, Korah, and all his company; 16:7and put fire in them, and put incense
upon them before Jehovah to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom
Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you,
ye sons of Levi. 16:8And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now,
ye sons of Levi: 16:9seemeth it but a small thing
unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation
of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the
tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister
unto them; 16:10and that he hath brought thee near,
and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the
priesthood also? 16:11Therefore thou and all thy company
are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye
murmur against him?
16:12And Moses sent to call Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up: 16:13is it a small thing that thou hast
brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the
wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us? 16:14Moreover thou hast not brought us
into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of
fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not
come up.
16:15And Moses was very wroth, and said
unto Jehovah, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass
from them, neither have I hurt one of them. 16:16And Moses said unto
Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Jehovah, thou, and they, and
Aaron, to-morrow: 16:17and take ye every man his censer, and
put incense upon them, and bring ye before Jehovah every man his censer,
two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer. 16:18And they took every man his censer,
and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of
the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 16:19And Korah assembled
all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting:
and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the congregation.
16:20And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 16:21Separate yourselves from among this
congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 16:22And they fell upon
their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall
one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? 16:23And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
16:24Speak unto the congregation, saying,
Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25And Moses rose up and went unto
Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 16:26And he spake unto the congregation,
saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch
nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 16:27So they gat them up from the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and
Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives,
and their sons, and their little ones. 16:28And Moses said,
Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works; for
I have not done them of mine own mind. 16:29If these men die the common death of
all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then
Jehovah hath not sent me. 16:30But if Jehovah make a new thing, and
the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain
unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand
that these men have despised Jehovah.
16:31And it came to pass, as he made an
end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was
under them; 16:32and the earth opened its mouth, and
swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained
unto Korah, and all their goods. 16:33So they, and all that appertained to
them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed upon them, and they
perished from among the assembly. 16:34And all Israel that were round about
them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
16:35And fire came forth from Jehovah, and
devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
16:36And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
16:37Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron
the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter
thou the fire yonder; for they are holy, 16:38even the censers of
these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates
for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah;
therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign unto the children of
Israel. 16:39And Eleazar the priest took the
brazen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them
out for a covering of the altar, 16:40to be a memorial unto the children of
Israel, to the end that no stranger, that is not of the seed of Aaron,
come near to burn incense before Jehovah; that he be not as Korah, and as
his company: as Jehovah spake unto him by Moses.
16:41But on the morrow all the
congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against
Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah. 16:42And it came to pass, when the
congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they
looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and
the glory of Jehovah appeared. 16:43And Moses and Aaron came to the front
of the tent of meeting. 16:44And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
16:45Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon
their faces. 16:46And Moses said unto Aaron, Take they
censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon,
and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them:
for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah; the plague is begun. 16:47And Aaron took as Moses spake, and
ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun
among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the
people. 16:48And he stood between the dead and the
living; and the plague was stayed. 16:49Now they that died by the plague were
fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the
matter of Korah. 16:50And Aaron returned unto Moses unto
the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.
17:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and
take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes
according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write thou every man's
name upon his rod. 17:3And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon
the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their
fathers' houses. 17:4And thou shalt lay them up in the tent
of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. 17:5And
it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall
bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of
Israel, which they murmur against you. 17:6And Moses spake unto
the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each
prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the
rod of Aaron was among their rods. 17:7And Moses laid up the rods before
Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
17:8And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of
Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced
blossoms, and bare ripe almonds. 17:9And Moses brought out all the rods
from before Jehovah unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and
took every man his rod. 17:10And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put back
the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the
children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings
against me, that they die not. 17:11Thus did Moses: as Jehovah commanded
him, so did he.
17:12And the children of Israel spake unto
Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. 17:13Every one that cometh near, that
cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth: shall we perish all of
us?
18:1And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and
thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the
sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your
priesthood. 18:2And thy brethren also, the tribe of
Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be
joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee
shall be before the tent of the testimony. 18:3And they shall keep
thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh
unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not,
neither they, nor ye. 18:4And they shall be joined unto thee,
and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the
Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. 18:5And ye shall keep the
charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath
no more upon the children of Israel. 18:6And I, behold, I have taken your
brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a
gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 18:7And
thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of
the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you
the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
18:8And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I,
behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the
hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by
reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever. 18:9This shall be thine of the most holy
things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even
every meal-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. 18:10As the most holy
things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be
holy unto thee. 18:11And this is thine: the heave-offering
of their gift, even 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,
as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat
thereof. 18:12All the best of the oil, and all the
best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they
give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them. 18:13The first-ripe fruits
of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be
thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof. 18:14Everything devoted in Israel shall be
thine. 18:15Everything that openeth the womb, of
all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be
thine: nevertheless the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and
the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 18:16And those that are to
be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine
estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). 18:17But the firstling of
a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt
not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar,
and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor
unto Jehovah. 18:18And the flesh of them shall be thine,
as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. 18:19All the heave-offerings of the holy
things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given
thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it
is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed
with thee. 18:20And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou
shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any
portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the
children of Israel.
18:21And unto the children of Levi,
behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return
for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of
meeting. 18:22And henceforth the children of Israel
shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. 18:23But the Levites shall do the service
of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of
Israel they shall have no inheritance. 18:24For the tithe of the
children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I
have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto
them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18:25And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
18:26Moreover thou shalt speak unto the
Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the
tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall
offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe. 18:27And your heave-offering shall be
reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and
as the fulness of the winepress. 18:28Thus ye also shall offer a
heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the
children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah's heave-offering to
Aaron the priest. 18:29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer
every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the
hallowed part thereof out of it. 18:30Therefore thou shalt say unto them,
When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the
Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the
wine-press. 18:31And ye shall eat it in every place,
ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service
in the tent of meeting. 18:32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of
it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane
the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
19:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 19:2This is the statute of the law which
Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that
they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish,
and upon which never came yoke. 19:3And ye shall give her
unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without the camp,
and one shall slay her before his face: 19:4and Eleazar the priest
shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the
front of the tent of meeting seven times. 19:5And one shall burn the
heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her
dung, shall he burn: 19:6and the priest shall take cedar-wood,
and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the
heifer. 19:7Then the priest shall wash his
clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even. 19:8And
he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh
in water, and shall be unclean until the even. 19:9And a man that is
clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the
camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the
children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin-offering. 19:10And he that gathereth the ashes of
the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it
shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11He that toucheth the dead body of any
man shall be unclean seven days: 19:12the same shall purify himself
therewith 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. 19:13Whosoever toucheth a dead person, the
body of a man that hath died, and purifieth not himself, defileth the
tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because
the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean;
his uncleanness is yet upon him.
19:14This is the law when a man dieth in a
tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the
tent, shall be unclean seven days. 19:15And every open vessel, which hath no
covering bound upon it, is unclean. 19:16And whosoever in the open field
toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a
man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 19:17And for the unclean
they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and
running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: 19:18and a clean person
shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent,
and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon
him that touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave: 19:19and the clean person shall sprinkle
upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the
seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
19:20But the man that shall be unclean,
and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of
the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water
for impurity hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. 19:21And it shall be a perpetual statute
unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water for impurity shall wash his
clothes, and he that toucheth the water for impurity shall be unclean
until even. 19:22And whatsoever the unclean person
toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean
until even.
20:1And the children of Israel, even the
whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month:
and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried
there. 20:2And there was no water for the
congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron. 20:3And the people strove with Moses, and
spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before
Jehovah! 20:4And why have ye brought the assembly
of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our
beasts? 20:5And wherefore have ye made us to come
up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of
seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any
water to drink. 20:6And Moses and Aaron went from the
presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell
upon their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them. 20:7And
Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 20:8Take the rod, and assemble the
congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock
before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring
forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation
and their cattle drink. 20:9And Moses took the rod from before
Jehovah, as he commanded him.
20:10And Moses and Aaron gathered the
assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye
rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock? 20:11And Moses lifted up his hand, and
smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and
the congregation drank, and their cattle. 20:12And Jehovah said unto
Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes
of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into
the land which I have given them. 20:13These are the waters of Meribah;
because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified
in them.
20:14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh
unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the
travail that hath befallen us: 20:15how our fathers went down into Egypt,
and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us,
and our fathers: 20:16and when we cried unto Jehovah, he
heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt:
and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. 20:17Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy
land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we
drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we
will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have
passed thy border. 20:18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt
not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee. 20:19And the children of Israel said unto
him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my
cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without
doing anything else, pass through on my feet. 20:20And he said, Thou shalt not pass
through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong
hand. 20:21Thus Edom refused to give Israel
passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
20:22And they journeyed from Kadesh: and
the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.
20:23And Jehovah spake unto Moses and
Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 20:24Aaron shall be gathered unto his
people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the
children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of
Meribah. 20:25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and
bring them up unto mount Hor; 20:26and strip Aaron of his garments, and
put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his
people, and shall die there. 20:27And Moses did as Jehovah commanded:
and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 20:28And Moses stripped Aaron of his
garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the
top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. 20:29And when all the congregation saw
that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house
of Israel.
21:1And the Canaanite, the king of Arad,
who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim;
and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. 21:2And
Israel vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver
this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 21:3And
Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites;
and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the
place was called Hormah.
21:4And they journeyed from mount Hor by
the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the
people was much discouraged because of the way. 21:5And the people spake
against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no
water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 21:6And Jehovah sent fiery
serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of
Israel died. 21:7And the people came to Moses, and
said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against
thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses
prayed for the people. 21:8And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee
a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass,
that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. 21:9And
Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came
to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the
serpent of brass, he lived.
21:10And the children of Israel journeyed,
and encamped in Oboth. 21:11And they journeyed from Oboth, and
encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the
sunrising. 21:12From thence they journeyed, and
encamped in the valley of Zered. 21:13From thence they journeyed, and
encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that
cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of
Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 21:14Wherefore it is said
in the book of the Wars of Jehovah,
Vaheb in Suphah,
And the valleys of the Arnon,
21:15And the slope of the valleys
That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar,
And leaneth upon the border of Moab.
21:16And from thence they journeyed
to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the
people together, and I will give them water.
21:17Then sang Israel this song:
Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
21:18The well, which the princes digged,
Which the nobles of the people delved,
With the sceptre, and with their staves.
And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah; 21:19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and
from Nahaliel to Bamoth; 21:20and from Bamoth to the valley that is
in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the
desert.
21:21And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon
king of the Amorites, saying, 21:22Let me pass through thy land: we will
not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the
water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed
thy border. 21:23And Sihon would not suffer Israel to
pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and
went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he
fought against Israel. 21:24And Israel smote him with the edge of
the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even
unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was
strong. 21:25And Israel took all these cities: and
Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the
towns thereof. 21:26For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the
king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and
taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon. 21:27Wherefore they that speak in proverbs
say,
Come ye to Heshbon;
Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
21:28For a fire is gone out of Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon:
It hath devoured Ar of Moab,
The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
21:29Woe to thee, Moab!
Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:
He hath given his sons as fugitives,
And his daughters into captivity,
Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
21:30We have shot at them; Heshbon is
perished even unto Dibon,
And we have laid waste even unto Nophah,
Which reacheth unto Medeba.
21:31Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the
Amorites. 21:32And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and
they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
21:33And they turned and went up by the
way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all
his people, to battle at Edrei. 21:34And Jehovah 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, who dwelt at Heshbon. 21:35So they smote him, and his sons and
all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they
possessed his land.
22:1And the children of Israel journeyed,
and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
22:2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all
that Israel had done to the Amorites. 22:3And Moab was sore
afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed
because of the children of Israel. 22:4And Moab said unto the elders of
Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the
ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king
of Moab at that time. 22:5And he sent messengers unto Balaam the
son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to 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. 22:6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse
me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall
prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the
land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou
cursest is cursed.
22:7And the elders of Moab and the elders
of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they
came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. 22:8And
he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again,
as Jehovah shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
22:9And God came unto Balaam, and said,
What men are these with thee? 22:10And Balaam said unto God, Balak the
son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 22:11Behold, the people that is come out
of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them;
peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them
out. 22:12And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt
not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.
22:13And Balaam rose up in the morning,
and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land; for Jehovah
refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 22:14And the princes of
Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come
with us.
22:15And Balak sent yet again princes,
more, and more honorable than they. 22:16And they came to Balaam, and said to
him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder
thee from coming unto me: 22:17for I will promote thee unto very
great honor, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore,
I pray thee, curse me this people. 22:18And Balaam answered and said unto the
servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and
gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.
22:19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye
also here this night, that I may know what Jehovah will speak unto me
more. 22:20And God came unto Balaam at night,
and said unto him, If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with
them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do.
22:21And Balaam rose up in the morning,
and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 22:22And God's anger was kindled because
he went; and the angel of Jehovah placed himself in the way for an
adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two
servants were with him. 22:23And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah
standing in the way, with 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. 22:24Then the angel of Jehovah stood in a
narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall
on that side. 22:25And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah,
and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against
the wall: and he smote her again. 22:26And the angel of Jehovah went
further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to
the right hand or to the left. 22:27And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah,
and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he
smote the ass with his staff. 22:28And Jehovah 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? 22:29And Balaam said unto the ass, Because
thou hast mocked me, I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had
killed thee. 22:30And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not
I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day?
was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay.
22:31Then Jehovah opened the eyes of
Balaam, and he saw the angel of Jehovah standing in the way, with his
sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. 22:32And the angel of Jehovah said unto
him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am
come forth for an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me: 22:33and the ass saw me, and turned aside
before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely
now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive. 22:34And Balaam said unto
the angel of Jehovah, 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. 22:35And the angel of Jehovah 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.
22:36And when Balak heard that Balaam was
come, he went out to meet him unto the City of Moab, which is on the
border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border. 22:37And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not
earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me?
am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor? 22:38And Balaam said unto
Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak
anything? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. 22:39And Balaam went with Balak, and they
came unto Kiriath-huzoth. 22:40And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep,
and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
22:41And it came to pass in the morning,
that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal;
and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
23:1And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me
here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 23:2And
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every
altar a bullock and a ram. 23:3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by
thy burnt-offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet
me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare
height. 23:4And God met Balaam: and he said unto
him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and
a ram on every altar. 23:5And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's
mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 23:6And
he returned unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he,
and all the princes of Moab. 23:7And he took up his parable, and said,
From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of
the East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy Israel. 23:8How
shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom
Jehovah hath not defied? 23:9For from the top of the rocks I see
him, And from the hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that dwelleth
alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations. 23:10Who can count the
dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death
of the righteous, And let my last end be like his! 23:11And Balak said unto
Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies,
and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 23:12And he answered and
said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?
23:13And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray
thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou
shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and
curse me them from thence. 23:14And he took him into the field of
Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a
bullock and a ram on every altar. 23:15And he said unto Balak, Stand here by
thy burnt-offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder. 23:16And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a
word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
23:17And he came to him, and, lo, he was
standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And
Balak said unto him, What hath Jehovah spoken? 23:18And he took up his
parable, and said,
Rise up, Balak, and hear;
Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19God is not a man, that he should lie,
Neither the son of man, that he should repent:
Hath he said, and will he not do it?
Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?
23:20Behold, I have received
commandment to bless:
And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
23:21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob;
Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel:
Jehovah his God is with him,
And the shout of a king is among them.
23:22God bringeth them forth out of Egypt;
He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
23:23Surely there is no enchantment with
Jacob;
Neither is there any divination with Israel:
Now shalt it be said of Jacob and of Israel,
What hath God wrought!
23:24Behold, the people riseth up as a
lioness,
And as a lion doth he lift himself up:
He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,
And drink the blood of the slain.
23:25And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither
curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 23:26But Balaam answered
and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh,
that I must do? 23:27And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now,
I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that
thou mayest curse me them from thence. 23:28And Balak took Balaam
unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert. 23:29And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me
here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 23:30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and
offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
24:1And when Balaam saw that it pleased
Jehovah to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with
enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 24:2And
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their
tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. 24:3And he took up his
parable, and said,
Balaam the son of Beor saith,
And the man whose eye was closed saith;
24:4He saith, who heareth the words of God,
Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, and having his eyes open:
24:5How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,
Thy tabernacles, O Israel!
24:6As valleys are they spread forth,
As gardens by the river-side,
As lign-aloes which Jehovah hath planted,
As cedar-trees beside the waters.
24:7Water shall flow from his buckets,
And his seed shall be in many waters,
And his king shall be higher than Agag,
And his kingdom shall be exalted.
24:8God bringeth him forth out of Egypt;
He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox:
He shall eat up the nations his adversaries,
And shall break their bones in pieces,
And smite them through with his arrows.
24:9He couched, he lay down as a lion,
And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
Blessed be every one that blesseth thee,
And cursed be every one that curseth thee.
24:10And Balak's anger was kindled against
Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I
called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether
blessed them these three times. 24:11Therefore now flee thou to thy place:
I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, Jehovah hath kept
thee back from honor. 24:12And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I
not also to thy messengers that thou sentest unto me, saying, 24:13If Balak would give me his house full
of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either
good or bad of mine own mind; what Jehovah speaketh, that will I speak? 24:14And now, behold, I go unto my people:
come, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy
people in the latter days. 24:15And he took up his parable, and said,
Balaam the son of Beor saith,
And the man whose eye was closed saith;
24:16He saith, who heareth the words of
God,
And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High,
Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, and having his eyes open:
24:17I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not nigh:
There shall come forth a star out of Jacob,
And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
And shall smite through the corners of Moab,
And break down all the sons of tumult.
24:18And Edom shall be a possession,
Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies;
While Israel doeth valiantly.
24:19And out of Jacob shall one have
dominion,
And shall destroy the remnant from the city.
24:20And he looked on Amalek, and took up
his parable, and said,
Amalek was the first of the nations;
But his latter end shall come to destruction.
24:21And he looked on the Kenite, and took
up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwelling-place,
And thy nest is set in the rock.
24:22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted,
Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
24:23And he took up his parable, and said,
Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?
24:24But ships shall come from the
coast of Kittim,
And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber;
And he also shall come to destruction.
24:25And Balaam rose up, and went and
returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25:1And Israel abode in Shittim; and the
people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab: 25:2for
they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people
did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 25:3And Israel joined
himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against
Israel. 25:4And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take all
the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sun,
that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel. 25:5And
Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have
joined themselves unto Baal-peor.
25:6And, behold, one of the children of
Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight
of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of
Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 25:7And
when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he
rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;
25:8and he went after the man of Israel
into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and
the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of
Israel. 25:9And those that died by the plague were
twenty and four thousand.
25:10And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son
of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of
Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I
consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 25:12Wherefore say,
Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 25:13and it shall be unto
him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood;
because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of
Israel.
25:14Now the name of the man of Israel
that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the
son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites. 25:15And the name of the Midianitish woman
that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people
of a fathers' house in Midian.
25:16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17Vex the Midianites, and smite them;
25:18for they vex you with their wiles,
wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter
of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was
slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
26:1And it came to pass after the plague,
that Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest, saying, 26:2Take the sum of all the congregation
of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their
fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel. 26:3And
Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan at Jericho, saying, 26:4Take the sum of the people,
from twenty years old and upward; as Jehovah commanded Moses and the
children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt.
26:5Reuben, the first-born of Israel; the
sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu,
the family of the Palluites; 26:6of Hezron, the family of the
Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 26:7These are the families
of the Reubenites; and they that were numbered of them were forty and
three thousand and seven hundred and thirty. 26:8And the sons of Pallu:
Eliab. 26:9And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and
Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of
the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the
company of Korah, when they strove against Jehovah, 26:10and the earth opened
its 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. 26:11Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah
died not.

Gad according to those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five
hundred.

after their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of

thousand and five hundred.

thousand and three hundred.

thousand and five hundred.
26:28The sons of Joseph after their
families: Manasseh and Ephraim. 26:29The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the

of the Gileadites. 26:30These are the sons of Gilead:

Helekites; 26:31and of Asriel, the family of
the Asrielites; and of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; 26:32and of Shemida, the family of
the Shemidaites; and of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 26:33And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had
no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were
Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 26:34These are the
families of Manasseh; and they that were numbered of them were fifty and
two thousand and seven hundred.
26:35These are the sons of Ephraim after
their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; of Becher,
the family of the Becherites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 26:36And these are the sons of Shuthelah:

families of the sons of Ephraim according to those that were numbered of

26:38The sons of Benjamin after their
families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of
the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; 26:39of Shephupham, the family of the

their families; and they that were numbered of them were forty and five
thousand and six hundred.
26:42These are the sons of Dan after their
families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families

according to those that were numbered of them, were threescore and four
thousand and four hundred.
26:44The sons of Asher after their

thousand and four hundred.

forty and five thousand and four hundred.
26:51These are they that were numbered of
the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred
and thirty.
26:52And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
26:53Unto these the land shall be divided
for an inheritance according to the number of names. 26:54To the more thou shalt give the more
inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: to
every one according to those that were numbered of him shall his
inheritance be given. 26:55Notwithstanding, the land shall be
divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they
shall inherit. 26:56According to the lot shall their
inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.
26:57And 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. 26:58These are the families of Levi: the
family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the
Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. And
Kohath begat Amram. 26:59And the name of Amram's wife was
Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and she
bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 26:60And unto Aaron were born Nadab and
Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 26:61And Nadab and Abihu died, when they
offered strange fire before Jehovah. 26:62And they that were
numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male 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.
26:63These are they that were numbered by
Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 26:64But among these there
was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 26:65For Jehovah had said of them, They
shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them,
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1Then drew near the daughters of
Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these
are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and
Tirzah. 27:2And they stood before Moses, and
before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the
congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying, 27:3Our
father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them
that gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah:
but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 27:4Why should the name of
our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son?
Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father. 27:5And
Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
27:6And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7The daughters of Zelophehad speak
right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among
their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their
father to pass unto them. 27:8And thou shalt speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his
inheritance to pass unto his daughter. 27:9And if he have no
daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 27:10And if he have no brethren, then ye
shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 27:11And if his father have no brethren,
then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of
his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of
Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
27:12And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee
up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given
unto the children of Israel. 27:13And when thou hast seen it, thou also
shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered; 27:14because ye rebelled against my word
in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify
me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of
Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 27:15And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,
27:16Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits
of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, 27:17who may go out before
them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who
may bring them in; that the congregation of Jehovah be not as sheep which
have no shepherd. 27:18And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take
thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand
upon him; 27:19and set him before Eleazar the
priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their
sight. 27:20And thou shalt put of thine honor
upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey. 27:21And he shall stand before Eleazar the
priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before
Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come
in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the
congregation. 27:22And Moses did as Jehovah commanded
him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before
all the congregation: 27:23and he laid his hands upon him, and
gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.
28:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
28:2Command the children of Israel, and
say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a
sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due
season. 28:3And thou shalt say unto them, This is
the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he-lambs a
year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering.
28:4The one lamb shalt thou offer in the
morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; 28:5and
the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with
the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. 28:6It is a continual
burnt-offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 28:7And the drink-offering thereof shall
be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou
pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto Jehovah. 28:8And
the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal-offering of the
morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
28:9And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a
year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine
flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering
thereof: 28:10this is the burnt-offering of every
sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering
thereof.
28:11And in the beginnings of your months
ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one
ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; 28:12and three tenth parts
of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil,
for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering,
mingled with oil, for the one ram; 28:13and a tenth part of fine flour
mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering
of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 28:14And their drink-offerings shall be
half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram,
and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt-offering of
every month throughout the months of the year. 28:15And one he-goat for a
sin-offering unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual
burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
28:16And in the first month, on the
fourteenth day of the month, is Jehovah's passover. 28:17And on the fifteenth
day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be
eaten. 28:18In the first day shall be a holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work; 28:19but ye shall offer an
offering made by fire, a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks,
and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without
blemish; 28:20and their meal-offering, fine flour
mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two
tenth parts for the ram; 28:21a tenth part shalt thou offer for
every lamb of the seven lambs; 28:22and one he-goat for a sin-offering,
to make atonement for you. 28:23Ye shall offer these besides the
burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering. 28:24After this manner ye shall offer
daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the continual
burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. 28:25And on the seventh
day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
28:26Also in the day of the first-fruits,
when ye offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah in your feast of
weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work; 28:27but ye shall offer a burnt-offering
for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven
he-lambs a year old; 28:28and their meal-offering, fine flour
mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for
the one ram, 28:29a tenth part for every lamb of the
seven lambs; 28:30one he-goat, to make atonement for
you. 28:31Besides the continual burnt-offering,
and the meal-offering thereof, ye shall offer them (they shall be unto you
without blemish), and their drink-offerings.
29:1And in the seventh month, on the first
day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile
work: it is a day of blowing of trumpets unto you. 29:2And ye shall offer a
burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram,
seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:3and their
meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the
bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, 29:4and one tenth part for
every lamb of the seven lambs; 29:5and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to
make atonement for you; 29:6besides the burnt-offering of the new
moon, and the meal-offering thereof, and the continual burnt-offering and
the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings, according unto their
ordinance, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
29:7And on the tenth day of this seventh
month ye shall have a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls:
ye shall do no manner of work; 29:8but ye shall offer a burnt-offering
unto Jehovah for a sweet savor: one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs
a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish; 29:9and their
meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the
bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram, 29:10a tenth part for
every lamb of the seven lambs: 29:11one he-goat for a sin-offering;
besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering,
and the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings.
29:12And on the fifteenth day of the
seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile
work, and ye shall keep a feast unto Jehovah seven days: 29:13and ye shall offer a burnt-offering,
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; thirteen young
bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old; they shall be without
blemish; 29:14and their meal-offering, fine flour
mingled with oil, three tenth parts for every bullock of the thirteen
bullocks, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams, 29:15and a tenth part for every lamb of
the fourteen lambs; 29:16and one he-goat for a sin-offering,
besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the
drink-offering thereof.
29:17And on the second day ye shall
offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old
without blemish; 29:18and their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:19and one he-goat for a
sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering
thereof, and their drink-offerings.
29:20And on the third day eleven bullocks,
two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:21and their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:22and one he-goat for a
sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
29:23And on the fourth day ten bullocks,
two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:24their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:25and one he-goat for a
sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
29:26And on the fifth day nine bullocks,
two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:27and their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:28and one he-goat for a
sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
29:29And on the sixth day eight bullocks,
two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:30and their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:31and one he-goat for a
sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offerings thereof.
29:32And on the seventh day seven
bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:33and their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
according to their number, after the ordinance; 29:34and one he-goat for a
sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
29:35On the eighth day ye shall have a
solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work; 29:36but ye shall offer a
burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah:
one bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; 29:37their meal-offering and their
drink-offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the ordinance: 29:38and one he-goat for a
sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
29:39These ye shall offer unto Jehovah in
your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill-offerings, for your
burnt-offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your
drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. 29:40And Moses told the
children of Israel according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
30:1And Moses spake unto the heads of the
tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah
hath commanded. 30:2When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah,
or sweareth 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. 30:3Also when a woman voweth a vow unto
Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in
her youth, 30:4and her father heareth her vow, and
her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his
peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she
hath bound her soul shall stand. 30:5But if her father disallow her in the
day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath
bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her
father disallowed her.
30:6And if she be married to a
husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips,
wherewith she hath bound her soul, 30:7and her husband hear it, and hold his
peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and
her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 30:8But
if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall
make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips,
wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her. 30:9But
the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, even everything
wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. 30:10And if she vowed in her husband's
house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 30:11and her husband heard
it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows
shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 30:12But if her husband made them null and
void in the day that 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 Jehovah will forgive her.
30:13Every vow, and every binding oath to
afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it
void. 30:14But if her husband altogether hold
his peace at her from day to day, then he establisheth all her vows, or
all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he
held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 30:15But if he shall make them null and
void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. 30:16These are the statutes, which Jehovah
commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his
daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.
31:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2Avenge the children of Israel of the
Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 31:3And
Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the
war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah's vengeance on
Midian. 31:4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout
all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 31:5So there were
delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe,
twelve thousand armed for war. 31:6And Moses sent them, a thousand of
every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the
alarm in his hand. 31:7And they warred against Midian, as
Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male. 31:8And they slew the
kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and
Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they
slew with the sword. 31:9And the children of Israel took
captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle,
and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey. 31:10And all their cities in the places
wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire. 31:11And they took all the spoil, and all
the prey, both of man and of beast. 31:12And they brought the captives, and
the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto
the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of
Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
31:13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest,
and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without
the camp. 31:14And Moses was wroth with the officers
of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who
came from the service of the war. 31:15And Moses said unto them, Have ye
saved all the women alive? 31:16Behold, these caused the children of
Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah
in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of
Jehovah. 31:17Now therefore kill every male among
the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with
him. 31:18But all the women-children, that have
not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 31:19And encamp ye without the camp seven
days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any
slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and
your captives. 31:20And as to every garment, and all that
is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made
of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
31:21And Eleazar the priest said unto the
men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which
Jehovah hath commanded Moses: 31:22howbeit the gold, and the silver, the
brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 31:23everything that may
abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be
clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and
all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water. 31:24And ye shall wash your clothes on the
seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the
camp.
31:25And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26Take the sum of the prey that was
taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the
heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation; 31:27and divide the prey into two parts:
between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the
congregation. 31:28And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of
the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred,
both of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the
flocks: 31:29take it of their half, and give it
unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering. 31:30And of the children of Israel's half,
thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen,
of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give
them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
31:31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did
as Jehovah commanded Moses.
31:32Now the prey, over and above the
booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy
thousand and five thousand sheep, 31:33and threescore and twelve thousand
oxen, 31:34and threescore and one thousand
asses, 31:35and thirty and two thousand persons
in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him. 31:36And the half, which was the portion
of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and
thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep: 31:37and Jehovah's tribute of the sheep
was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 31:38And the oxen were
thirty and six thousand; of which Jehovah's tribute was threescore and
twelve. 31:39And the asses were thirty thousand
and five hundred; of which Jehovah's tribute was threescore and one. 31:40And the persons were sixteen
thousand; of whom Jehovah's tribute was thirty and two persons. 31:41And Moses gave the tribute, which was
Jehovah's heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded
Moses.
31:42And of the children of Israel's half,
which Moses divided off from the men that warred 31:43(now the
congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven
thousand and five hundred sheep, 31:44and thirty and six thousand oxen, 31:45and thirty thousand and five hundred
asses, 31:46and sixteen thousand persons), 31:47even of the children of Israel's
half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast,
and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of
Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
31:48And the officers that were over the
thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses; 31:49and they said unto Moses, Thy
servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge,
and there lacketh not one man of us. 31:50And we have brought
Jehovah's oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold,
ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make
atonement for our souls before Jehovah. 31:51And Moses and Eleazar
the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 31:52And all the gold of the
heave-offering that they offered up to Jehovah, 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
booty, every man for himself.) 31:54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into
the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before
Jehovah.
32:1Now the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw
the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a
place for cattle; 32:2the children of Gad and the children
of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto
the princes of the congregation, saying, 32:3Ataroth, and Dibon,
and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and
Beon, 32:4the land which Jehovah smote before
the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have
cattle. 32:5And they said, If we have found favor
in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession;
bring us not over the Jordan.
32:6And Moses said unto the children of
Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and
shall ye sit here? 32:7And wherefore discourage ye the heart
of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Jehovah hath
given them? 32:8Thus did your fathers, when I sent
them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 32:9For when they went up
unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of
the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which
Jehovah had given them. 32:10And Jehovah's anger was kindled in
that day, and he sware, saying, 32:11Surely none of the men that came up
out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not
wholly followed me: 32:12save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed
Jehovah. 32:13And Jehovah's anger was kindled
against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty
years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of
Jehovah, was consumed. 32:14And, behold, ye are risen up in your
fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger
of Jehovah toward Israel. 32:15For if ye turn away from after him,
he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye will destroy all
this people.
32:16And they came near unto him, and
said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our
little ones: 32:17but we ourselves will be ready armed
to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their
place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of
the inhabitants of the land. 32:18We will not return unto our houses,
until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 32:19For we will not inherit with them on
the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is
fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.
32:20And Moses said unto them, If ye will
do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before Jehovah to the war,
32:21and every armed man of you will pass
over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he hath driven out his enemies from
before him, 32:22and the land is subdued before
Jehovah; then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards Jehovah,
and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession
before Jehovah. 32:23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye
have sinned against Jehovah; and be sure your sin will find you out. 32:24Build you cities for your little
ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of
your mouth. 32:25And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my
lord commandeth. 32:26Our little ones, our wives, our
flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 32:27but thy servants will pass over,
every man that is armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord
saith.
32:28So Moses gave charge concerning them
to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of
the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel. 32:29And Moses said unto them, If the
children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the
Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before Jehovah, and the land
shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead
for a possession: 32:30but if they will not pass over with
you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 32:31And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah hath said unto thy
servants, so will we do. 32:32We will pass over armed before
Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance
shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.
32:33And Moses gave unto them, even to the
children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-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, according to the cities
thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round
about. 32:34And the children of Gad built Dibon,
and Ataroth, and Aroer, 32:35and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and
Jogbehah, 32:36and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran:
fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 32:37And the children of
Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, 32:38and Nebo, and
Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other
names unto the cities which they builded. 32:39And the children of
Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed
the Amorites that were therein. 32:40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the
son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. 32:41And Jair the son of
Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair. 32:42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and
the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1These are the journeys of the children
of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts
under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 33:2And Moses wrote their goings out
according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah: and these are
their journeys according to their goings out. 33:3And they journeyed
from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month;
on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a
high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, 33:4while the Egyptians
were burying all their first-born, whom Jehovah had smitten among them:
upon their gods also Jehovah executed judgments.
33:5And the children of Israel journeyed
from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. 33:6And they journeyed
from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the
wilderness. 33:7And they journeyed from Etham, and
turned back unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they
encamped before Migdol. 33:8And they journeyed from before
Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and
they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in
Marah. 33:9And they journeyed from Marah, and
came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore
and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there. 33:10And they journeyed
from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea. 33:11And they journeyed
from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 33:12And they journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 33:13And they journeyed
from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 33:14And they journeyed
from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to
drink. 33:15And they journeyed from Rephidim, and
encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 33:16And they journeyed
from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth-hattaavah. 33:17And they journeyed from
Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. 33:18And they journeyed
from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. 33:19And they journeyed
from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon-perez. 33:20And they journeyed
from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in Libnah. 33:21And they journeyed
from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. 33:22And they journeyed
from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. 33:23And they journeyed
from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shepher. 33:24And they journeyed
from mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. 33:25And they journeyed
from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. 33:26And they journeyed
from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. 33:27And they journeyed
from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. 33:28And they journeyed from Terah, and
encamped in Mithkah. 33:29And they journeyed from Mithkah, and
encamped in Hashmonah. 33:30And they journeyed from Hashmonah,
and encamped in Moseroth. 33:31And they journeyed from Moseroth, and
encamped in Bene-jaakan. 33:32And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan,
and encamped in Hor-haggidgad. 33:33And they journeyed from
Hor-haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. 33:34And they journeyed
from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. 33:35And they journeyed
from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion-geber. 33:36And they journeyed
from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (the same is
Kadesh). 33:37And they journeyed from Kadesh, and
encamped in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
33:38And Aaron the priest went up into
mount Hor at the commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth
year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in
the fifth month, on the first day of the month. 33:39And Aaron was a
hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
33:40And the Canaanite, the king of Arad,
who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the
children of Israel.
33:41And they journeyed from mount Hor,
and encamped in Zalmonah. 33:42And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and
encamped in Punon. 33:43And they journeyed from Punon, and
encamped in Oboth. 33:44And they journeyed from Oboth, and
encamped in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab. 33:45And they journeyed
from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon-gad. 33:46And they journeyed
from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim. 33:47And they journeyed
from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before
Nebo. 33:48And they journeyed from the mountains
of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 33:49And they encamped by the Jordan, from
Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 33:51Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into
the land of Canaan, 33:52then ye shall drive out all the
inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured
stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their
high places: 33:53and ye shall take possession of the
land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it.
33:54And ye shall inherit the land by lot
according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more
inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance:
wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to
the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit. 33:55But if ye will not
drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those
that ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in
your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. 33:56And it shall come to pass, that, as I
thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.
34:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2Command the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that
shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according
to the borders thereof), 34:3then your south quarter shall be from
the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border
shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; 34:4and your border shall
turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and
the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall
go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon; 34:5and the border shall
turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof
shall be at the sea.
34:6And for the western border, ye shall
have the great sea and the border thereof: this shall be your west
border.
34:7And this shall be your north border:
from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor; 34:8from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto
the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at
Zedad; 34:9and the border shall go forth to
Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be
your north border.
34:10And ye shall mark out your east
border from Hazar-enan to Shepham; 34:11and the border shall go down from
Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down,
and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; 34:12and the border shall go down to the
Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be
your land according to the borders thereof round about.
34:13And Moses commanded the children of
Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which
Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the
half-tribe; 34:14for the tribe of the children of
Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children
of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: 34:15the two tribes and the half-tribe
have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward,
toward the sunrising.
34:16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17These are the names of the men that
shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun. 34:18And ye shall take one prince of every
tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 34:19And these are the
names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 34:20And of the tribe of the children of
Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 34:21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the
son of Chislon. 34:22And of the tribe of the children of
Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. 34:23Of the children of
Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son
of Ephod. 34:24And of the tribe of the children of
Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 34:25And of the tribe of
the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 34:26And of the tribe of the children of
Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 34:27And of the tribe of
the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 34:28And of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 34:29These are they whom
Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in
the land of Canaan.
35:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 35:2Command the children
of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their
possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them
shall ye give unto the Levites. 35:3And the cities shall they have to
dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their
substance, and for all their beasts. 35:4And the suburbs of the cities, which
ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and
outward a thousand cubits round about. 35:5And ye shall measure
without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south
side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and
for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This
shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 35:6And the cities which
ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge,
which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee unto: and besides them ye
shall give forty and two cities. 35:7All the cities which ye shall give to
the Levites shall be forty and eight cities; them shall ye give
with their suburbs. 35:8And concerning the cities which ye
shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye
shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according
to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the
Levites. 35:9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
35:11then ye shall appoint you cities to
be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that killeth any person
unwittingly may flee thither. 35:12And the cities shall be unto you for
refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before
the congregation for judgment. 35:13And the cities which ye shall give
shall be for you six cities of refuge. 35:14Ye shall give three
cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of
Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. 35:15For the children of
Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these
six cities be for refuge; that every one that killeth any person
unwittingly may flee thither. 35:16But if he smote him with an
instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death. 35:17And if he smote him with a stone in
the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death. 35:18Or if he smote him
with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 35:19The avenger of blood shall himself
put the murderer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
35:20And if he thrust him of hatred, or
hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, 35:21or in enmity smote
him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put
to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to
death, when he meeteth him.
35:22But if he thrust him suddenly without
enmity, or hurled upon him anything without lying in wait, 35:23or with any stone, whereby a man may
die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not
his enemy, neither sought his harm; 35:24then the congregation shall judge
between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
35:25and the congregation shall deliver
the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled:
and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was
anointed with the holy oil. 35:26But if the manslayer shall at any
time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth, 35:27and the avenger of blood find him
without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay
the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, 35:28because he should
have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest:
but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the
land of his possession.
35:29And these things shall be for a
statute and ordinance unto you throughout your generations in all
your dwellings. 35:30Whoso killeth any person, the
murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall
not testify against any person that he die. 35:31Moreover ye shall
take no ransom for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death; but he
shall surely be put to death. 35:32And ye shall take no ransom for him
that is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the
land, until the death of the priest. 35:33So ye shall not
pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land; and no
expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but
by the blood of him that shed it. 35:34And thou shalt not defile the land
which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Jehovah, dwell in
the midst of the children of Israel.
36:1And the heads of the fathers'
houses of the family 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 heads of the fathers'
houses of the children of Israel: 36:2and they said, Jehovah
commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children
of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of
Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 36:3And if they be married
to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel,
then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our
fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. 36:4And
when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their
inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance
of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5And Moses commanded the children of
Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of
Joseph speaketh right. 36:6This is the thing which Jehovah doth
command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be
married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of
their father shall they be married. 36:7So shall no inheritance of the
children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel
shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 36:8And
every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of
her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the
inheritance of his fathers. 36:9So shall no inheritance remove from
one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall
cleave every one to his own inheritance.
36:10Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so
did the daughters of Zelophehad: 36:11for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their
father's brothers' sons. 36:12They 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.
36:13These are the commandments and the
ordinances which Jehovah commanded by Moses unto the children of Israel in
the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
