5:10 So every manperson’s holy gifts shall be his; whatever anyanyone man gives to the priest, it becomes his.’ ”

6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his separationconsecration to God is on his head.
6:8 All the days of his separationconsecration he is holy to the Lord.
6:9 ‘But if asomeone man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his dedicatedconsecrated head of hair, then he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; he shall shave it on the seventh day.
6:10 Then on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeonsdoves to the priest, to the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting.
6:11 TheAnd the priest shall offer one foras a sin offering and the other foras a burnt offering, and make atonement for him concerningregarding his sin because of the dead person. And on that same day he shall consecrate his head,
6:12 and shall dedicatelive tohis thedays Lordof hisconsecration days as a Nazirite for the Lord, and shall bring a male lamb a year old foras a guilt offering; but the formerpreceding days will benot voidcount, because his separationconsecration was defiled.

7:89 Now when Moses wententered into the tent of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercyatoning seatcover that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim,; so He spoke to him.
8:2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you mount the lamps, the seven lamps will giveprovide light in the front of the lampstand.’ ”
8:3 Therefore Aaron therefore did so; he mounted its lamps at the front of the lampstand, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:4 Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold; from its base to its flowersflower ornamentation it was hammered work; according to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
8:7 ThusThis is what you shall do to them, for their cleansing: sprinkle purifying water on them, and lethave them use a razor over their whole body, and they shall wash their clothes, and theycleanse will be cleanthemselves.
8:8 Then lethave them take a bull with its grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and you shall take a second bull youas shall take for a sin offering.
8:9 So you shall present the Levites beforein front of the tent of meeting. You shall also assemble the whole congregation of the sons of Israel,
8:11 Aaron then shall present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may qualify to perform the service of the Lord.
8:12 Now the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls; then you are to offer the one foras a sin offering and the other foras a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
8:13 YouAnd you shall have the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons so as to present them as a wave offering to the Lord.
8:14 ThusSo you shall separatesingle out the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and the Levites shall be Mine.
8:16 for they are whollyexclusively given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself instead of everythe firstfirstborn issue of theevery womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.
8:17 For every firstborn among the sons of Israel is Mine, among the menpeople and among the animals; on the day that I fatally struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for Myself.
8:19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the sons of Israel, to perform the service of the sons of Israel at the tent of meeting and to make atonement on behalf of the sons of Israel, so that there will be no plagueaffliction among the sons of Israel bydue to their comingapproaching near to the sanctuary.”
8:20 ThusSo didthis is what Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel did to the Levites; according to alleverything that the Lord had commanded Moses concerningregarding the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
8:22 Then after that the Levites went in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons; just as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
8:25 But at the age of fifty years they shall retire from service in the work and not work any moreanymore.
8:26 They may, however, assist their brothers in the tent of meeting, to keepfulfill an obligation, but they themselves shall do no work. ThusIn this way you shall deal with the Levites concerningin their obligations.”
9:1 ThusNow the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 “Now, let the sons of Israel observeare to celebrate the Passover at its appointed time.
9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall observecelebrate it at its appointed time; you shall observecelebrate it accordingin toaccordance with all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
9:4 So Moses told the sons of Israel to observecelebrate the Passover.
9:5 TheyAnd observedthey celebrated the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; accordingin toaccordance allwith everything that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
9:6 But there were some men who were unclean because of thecontact with a dead person, so that they could not observecelebrate Passover on that day; soand they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
9:7 Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of thea dead person, why are we restrainedkept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”
9:8 Moses thereforethen said to them, “Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9:10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, observecelebrate the Passover to the Lord.
9:11 In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight, they shall observecelebrate it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12 They shall not leave noneany of it until morning, nor break a bone of it; accordingthey toshall allcelebrate it in accordance with the whole statute of the Passover they shall observe it.
9:13 But the manperson who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet neglectsrefrains tofrom observecelebrating the Passover, that person shall then be cut off from his people, forbecause he did not present the offering of the Lord at its appointed time. That manperson will bear the responsibility for his sin.
9:14 IfAnd anif aliena sojournsstranger resides among you and observescelebrates the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall docelebrate it; you shall have onethe same statute, both for the alienstranger and for the native of the land.’ ”
9:15 Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony, and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle, until morning.
9:16 SoThat is how it was continuously; the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
9:17 Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp.
9:19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the sons of Israel would keepcomply with the Lord’s chargeordinance and not set out.
9:20 If sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord they remained camped. Then accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord they set out.
9:21 If sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would moveset out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.
9:22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they did set out.
9:23 At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out; they keptdid what the Lord’s chargerequired, accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.
10:2 “Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and forbreaking having the camps set outcamp.
10:3 WhenNow when both are blown, all the congregation shall gathermeet themselves to you at the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting.
10:4 YetBut if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall assemblemeet before you.
10:5 ButAnd when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out.
10:6 WhenThen when you blowsound an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blownsounded for them to setbreak outcamp.
10:7 When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow the trumpets without sounding an alarm.
10:8 The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be for you a perpetualpermanent statute for you throughout your generations.
10:9 WhenAnd when you go to war in your land against the adversaryenemy who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you maywill be rememberedthought beforeof by the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.
10:10 Also inon the day of your gladnessjoy and inat your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
10:11 Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from overabove the tabernacle of the testimony;
10:12 and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13 So they moved outon for the first time accordingin toaccordance with the commandmentcommand of the Lord through Moses.
10:14 The standardflag of the camp of the sons of Judah, accordingby to their armies, set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army,
10:18 Next the standardflag of the camp of Reuben, accordingby to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army,
10:22 Next the standardflag of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, accordingby to their armies, was set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army,
10:25 Then the standardflag of the camp of the sons of Dan, accordingby to their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army,
10:28 This was the order of marchmarching offor the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.
10:29 Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you’;.’ comeCome with us and we will do you good, for the Lord has promised good concerning Israel.”
10:31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, inasmuchsince as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.
10:33 ThusSo they setmoved outon from the mountmountain of the Lord three days’ journey, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord journeyinggoing on in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them.
10:34 TheAnd the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
10:35 Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord! And letmay Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee beforefrom YouYour presence.”
10:36 WhenAnd when it came to rest, he said, “Return, O Lord, To the myriad thousands of Israel.”
11:1 Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearingears of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it,them and His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some ofat the outskirts of the camp.
11:2 The people thereforethen cried out to Moses,; and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died out.
11:3 So the name of that place was callednamed Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
11:4 TheNow the rabble who were among them had greedy desirescravings; and also the sons of Israel also wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
11:5 We remember the fish which we used to eat for free in Egypt, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,;
11:6 but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna.”!”
11:8 The people would goroam about and gather it and grind it between two millstones, or beatpound it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakesloaves with it; and its taste was aslike the taste of cakescake baked with oil.
11:9 When the dew fellcame down on the camp at night, the manna would fallcome down with it.
11:10 Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each manone at the doorwayentrance of his tent; and the anger of the Lord wasbecame kindledvery greatlyhot, and Moses was displeased.
11:11 So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laidput the burden of all this people on me?
11:12 Was it I who conceived all this people? WasOr itdid I whogive broughtbirth to them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosomarms, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers’?
11:13 Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat so that we may eat!’
11:14 I alone am not able to carry all this people by myself, because it is too burdensome for me.
11:15 So if You are going to deal thus with me this way, please kill me at oncenow, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchednessmisery.”
11:16 The Lord therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and lethave them take their stand there with you.
11:17 Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take away some of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it allby aloneyourself.
11:18 SayAnd you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, “Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat and you shall eat.
11:20 but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrilsnose and becomesmakes loathsomeyou to younauseated; because you have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”
11:21 But Moses said, “The people, among whom I am included, are 600,000six hundred thousand on foot;! yetYet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.’
11:22 ShouldAre flocks and herds to be slaughtered for them, toso that it will be sufficient for them? Or shouldare all the fish of the sea to be gatheredcaught together for them, toso that it will be sufficient for them?”
11:23 TheThen the Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s power limitedtoo little? Now you shall see whether My word will come true for you or not.”
11:24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. Also,He healso gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and stationedpositioned them around the tent.
11:25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took away some of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. ButYet they did not do it again.
11:26 But two men had remained in the camp; the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (nowand they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 So a young man ran and toldinformed Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
11:28 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendantpersonal servant of Moses from his youth, responded and said, “Moses,My mylord lordMoses, restrain them.”!”
11:29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? WouldIf thatonly all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
11:31 Now therea wentwind burst forth a wind from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and letdropped them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.
11:32 TheAnd the people spent all that day, and all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (hethe one who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
11:34 So the name of that place was callednamed Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy.
12:2 and they said, “HasIs it a fact that the Lord indeedhas spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?” And the Lord heard itthis.
12:3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any manperson who was on the face of the earth.)
12:4 SuddenlyAnd the Lord suddenly said to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam, “You three comego out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them camewent out.
12:5 Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorwayentrance of the tent,; and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,
12:6 He said, “HearNow nowhear My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, shallwill make Myself known to him in a vision. I shallwill speak with him in a dream.
12:7 Not so,It withis not this way for My servant Moses,; He is faithful in all My household;
12:8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, EvenThat is, openly, and not inusing darkmysterious sayingslanguage, And he beholds the form of the Lord. WhySo thenwhy were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?”
12:9 SoAnd the anger of the Lord burned against them and He departed.
12:10 But when the cloud had withdrawn from overabove the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.
12:11 Then Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not accounthold us responsible for this sin toby us, in which we have actedturned foolishlyout to be foolish, and inby which we have sinned.
12:12 Oh, do not let her be like onea dead person, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes fromout of his mother’s womb!”
12:13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, heal her, I prayplease!”
12:14 But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had butonly spit in her face, would she not bearbe herput to shame for seven days? LetHave her be shut upoutside the camp for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again.”
12:15 So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again.
12:16 Afterward, however, the people moved outon from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13:2 “Send out men for yourself mento so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers’ tribes, every one a leader among them.”
13:15 and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:19 HowAnd how is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are theythe likepeople in open camps or within fortifications?
13:20 HowAnd how is the land, is it fatproductive or leanunproductive? Are there trees in it or not? MakeAnd anshow effortyourselves thencourageous toand get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the timeseason of the first ripe grapes.
13:22 When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
13:23 Then they came to the valleyValley of Eshcol, and from there they cut downoff a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs.
13:24 That place was called the valleyValley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut downoff from there.
13:26 they proceededwent toon comeand came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
13:27 ThusSo they toldreported to him, and said, “We wentcame ininto to the land where you sent us;, and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
13:28 Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large;. andAnd moreoverindeed, we saw the descendants of Anak there.!
13:29 Amalek is living in the land of the Negev, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”
13:30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surelycertainly overcomeprevail over it.”
13:31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, forbecause they are too strong for us.”
13:32 So they gavebrought out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land through which we have gone, into spyingspy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are menpeople of great sizestature.
13:33 ThereWe also we saw the Nephilim there (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we becamewere like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
14:1 Then all the congregation liftedraised up their voices and cried out, and the people wept that night.
14:2 AllAnd all the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron; and the wholeentire congregation said to them, “WouldIf thatonly we had died in the land of Egypt! Or wouldeven thatif we had died in this wilderness!
14:3 WhySo why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder;! wouldWould it not be better for us to return to Egypt?”
14:4 So they said to one another, “Let’s us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”!”
14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;
14:9 Only do not rebel against the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection hasis beengone removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”
14:11 TheAnd the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people spurnbe disrespectful to Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs whichthat I have performed in their midst?
14:12 I will smitestrike them with pestilenceplague and dispossess them, and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they.”
14:13 But Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought up this people up from their midst,
14:14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, O Lord, are in the midst of this people, forbecause You, O Lord, are seen eye to eye, while Your cloud stands over them; and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15 Now if You slayput this people asto onedeath manall at once, then the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
14:16 BecauseSince the Lord could not bring this people into the land which He promised them by oath, therefore He slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
14:17 ButSo now, I prayplease, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have declared, saying,
14:18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindnessmercy, forgiving iniquitywrongdoing and transgressionviolation of His Law; but He will by no means clearleave the guilty unpunished, visitinginflicting the iniquitypunishment of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.’
14:19 Pardon,Please Iforgive pray, the iniquityguilt of this people accordingin toaccordance with the greatness of Your lovingkindnessmercy, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
14:20 So the Lord said, “I have pardonedforgiven them accordingin toaccordance with your word;
14:21 but indeedhowever, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
14:22 SurelyCertainly all the menpeople who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,
14:23 shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurnedwere disrespectful to Me see it.
14:24 But as for My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.
14:25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; turn tomorrow and set out tofor the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
14:26 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron again, saying,
14:27 “How long shall I bearput up with this evil congregation who are grumbling against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they are makingvoicing against Me.
14:28 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ saysdeclares the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you;
14:29 your corpsesdead bodies will fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered men, according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me.
14:30 SurelyBy youno shallmeans notwill you come into the land inwhere which I swore to settle you, except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31 Your children, however, whom you said would become a preyplunder—I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.
14:32 But as for you, your corpsesdead bodies will fall in this wilderness.
14:33 YourAlso, your sons shallwill be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years in the wilderness, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your corpsesbodies lieperish in the wilderness.
14:34 AccordingIn toaccordance with the number of days whichthat you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bearsuffer the punishment for your guilt a year, eventhat is, forty years, and you will know My opposition.
14:35 I, the Lord, have spoken, surelyI thiscertainly I will do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. InThey thisshall wildernessbe theyworn shallout bein destroyedthis wilderness, and there they willshall die.’ ”
14:36 As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and madeled all the congregation to grumble against him by bringing out a bad report concerningabout the land,
14:37 even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land also died by a plague beforein the presence of the Lord.
14:39 WhenNow when Moses spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people mourned greatly.
14:40 In the morning, however, they rosegot up early and went up to the ridge of the hill country, saying, “Here we are; weand have indeed sinned, but we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised, for we have sinned.”
14:41 But Moses said, “Why then are you transgressingviolating the commandmentcommand of the Lord, when itdoing so will not succeed?
14:42 Do not go up, orfor youthe willLord beis strucknot downamong beforeyou, yourto enemies,prevent foryou thefrom Lordbeing isdefeated notby amongyour youenemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there into frontconfront of you, and you will fall by the sword, inasmuchsince as you have turned back from following the Lord. And the Lord will not be with you.”
14:44 But they wentfoolishly dared to go up heedlessly to the ridge of the hill country; neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses left the camp.
14:45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down, and struck them and beatscattered them down as far as Hormah.
15:2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land where you are going to live, which I am giving you,
15:3 thenand you make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or as a freewillvoluntary offering or inat your appointed times, to make a soothing aroma to the Lord, from the herd or from the flock.,
15:4 Thethen the one who presents his offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of one-a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-a fourth of a hin of oil,
15:5 and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one-a fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-a third of a hin of oil;
15:7 and for the drink offering you shall offer one-a third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
15:8 WhenAnd when you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the Lord,
15:9 then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-half a hin of oil;
15:10 and you shall offer as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
15:11 ThusThis is how it shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats.
15:12 According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do for everyoneeach one according to their number.
15:13 AllEveryone who areis a native shall do these things in this mannerway, in presenting an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
15:14 IfNow anif aliena sojournsstranger withresides among you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wisheswants to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, just as you do so shall he shall do.
15:15 As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alienstranger who sojournsresides withamong you, a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alienstranger be before the Lord.
15:16 There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the alienstranger who sojournsresides with you.’ ”
15:18 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land where I bringam bringing you,
15:19 then it shall be, that when you eat offrom the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the Lord.
15:20 Of the first of your dough you shall lift up a cakeloaf as an offering; as thean offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up.
15:22 ‘But when you unwittinglyunintentionally faildo wrong and dofail notto observecomply with all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
15:23 eventhat is, all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day whenthat the Lord gave commandmentcommandments and onward, throughout your generations,
15:24 then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull foras a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat foras a sin offering.
15:25 Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an errorunintentional wrong, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their errorunintentional wrong.
15:26 So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, withas well as the alienstranger who sojournsresides among them, for itguilt happenedwas attributed to all the people through erroran unintentional wrong.
15:27 ‘Also, if one person sins unintentionally, then he shall offer a one -year -old female goat foras a sin offering.
15:28 TheAnd the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray whenby hean sinsunintentional unintentionallysin, making atonement for him so that he may be forgiven.
15:29 You shall have one law for himthe who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alienstranger who sojournsresides among them, for one who does anything wrong unintentionally.
15:30 But the person who does anythingwrong defiantly, whether he is a native or ana alienstranger, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31 BecauseSince he has despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be on him.’ ”
15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbathSabbath day.
15:33 ThoseAnd those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation;
15:34 and they putplaced him in custody, because it had not been declareddecided what should be done to him.
15:35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man shallmust surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”
15:38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cordviolet of bluethread.
15:39 It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so asthat toyou will do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which led you playedto theprostitute harlotyourselves,
15:40 so that you maywill remember toand do all My commandments and be holy to your God.
16:1 Now 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 actionmen,
16:2 and they rosestood up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, two250 hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen in the assembly, men of renown.
16:3 They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You have gone far enough,! forFor all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”
16:5 and he spoke to Korah and all his companygroup, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will showmake known who is His, and who is holy, and will bring himthat one near to Himself; evenindeed, the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself.
16:6 Do this: take censers for yourselves, Korah and all your companywhole group,
16:7 and put fire in them, and layplace incense upon them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!”
16:8 Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi,:
16:9 isIs it nottoo enoughsmall an honor for you that the God of Israel has separatedsingled you out from the rest of the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to doperform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
16:10 and that He has brought you near, Korah, and all your brothers, sons of Levi, with you? AndBut are you seeking for the priesthood alsoas well?
16:11 Therefore you and all your companywhole group are the ones gathered together against the Lord; but as for Aaron, who is he, that you grumble against him?”
16:13 Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to have us die in the wilderness, but you would also lordappoint ityourself as master over us?
16:14 Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you putgouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”
16:15 Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, “DoPay notno regardattention to their offering! I have not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them.”
16:16 Moses said to Korah, “You and all your companygroup be present before the Lord tomorrow, both you and they along with Aaron.
16:17 EachAnd each of you take his firepancenser and put incense on it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two250 hundred and fifty firepanscensers; also you and Aaron shall each bring his firepancenser.”
16:18 So they took, each tookone his own censer, and put fire on it, and laidplaced incense on it; and they stood at the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.
16:19 ThusSo Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.
16:21 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, so that I may consume them instantly.”
16:22 But they fell on their faces and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all fleshhumanity, when one manperson sins, will You be angry with the entire congregation?”
16:24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get backaway from the areas around the dwellingstents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”
16:26 and he spoke to the congregation, saying, “DepartGet away now from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch nothinganything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin.”!”
16:27 So they gotmoved backaway from the areas around the dwellingstents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorwayentrances of their tents, along with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
16:28 Then Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for thisit is not my doing.
16:29 If these men die the death of all menmankind, or if they suffer the fate of all menmankind, then the Lord has not sent me.
16:30 But if the Lord brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with alleverything that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will understandknow that these men have spurnedbeen disrespectful to the Lord.”
16:31 AsAnd as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open;
16:32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the menpeople who belonged to Korah with all their possessions.
16:34 AllThen all Israel who were around them fled at their outcry, for they said, “The earth maymight swallow us up!”
16:35 Fire also came forthout from the Lord and consumed the two250 hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.
16:36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
16:37 SayTell to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he shall takepick up the censers outfrom of the midst of the blazeburned area, forbecause they are holy; and you are to scatter the burning coals abroadfurther away.
16:38 As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their own lives, lethave them be made into hammered sheets foras a plating offor the altar, since they did present them before the Lord and they are holy; and they shall beserve foras a sign to the sons of Israel.”
16:39 So Eleazar the priest Eleazar took the bronze censers which the men who were burned had offered, and they hammered them out as a plating for the altar,
16:40 as a reminder to the sons of Israel so that no layman, anyone who iswas not of the descendants of Aaron, shouldwould comeapproach near to burn incense before the Lord; sothen that he willwould not become like Korah and his companygroup—just as the Lord had spoken to him through Moses.
16:41 But on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You are the ones who have caused the death of the Lord’s people.”!”
16:45 “Get away from among this congregation, so that I may consume them instantly.” Then they fell on their faces.
16:46 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put fire in it fire from the altar, and layplace incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forthout from the Lord, the plague has begun!”
16:47 Then Aaron took it just as Moses had spoken, and he ran into the midst of the assembly,; forand behold, the plague had begun among the people. So he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.
16:48 HeAnd he took his stand between the dead and the living, so that the plague was checkedbrought to a halt.
16:49 But those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who died on account of Korah.
16:50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checkedbrought to a halt.
17:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and getobtain from them a rodstaff for each father’s household: twelve rodsstaffs, from all their leaders accordingfor to their fathers’ households. You shall write each man’s name on his rodstaff,
17:3 and write Aaron’s name on the rodstaff of Levi; for there is to be one rodstaff for the head of each of their fathers’ households.
17:4 You shall then depositleave them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.
17:5 ItAnd it will come about that the rodstaff of the man whom I choose will sprout. ThusSo I will lessenrelieve fromMyself uponof Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”
17:6 So Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiecestaff, one for each leader, accordingfor to their fathers’ households, twelve rodsstaffs in all, with the rodstaff of Aaron among their rodsstaffs.
17:7 SoThen Moses depositedleft the rodsstaffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony.
17:8 Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, theAaron’s rodstaff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and putproduced forth buds and producedbloomed with blossoms, and it boreyielded ripe almonds.
17:9 Moses then brought out all the rodsstaffs from the presence of the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rodstaff.
17:10 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put back the rodstaff of Aaron beforeback in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, so that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, soand that they willdo not die.”
17:11 Thus Moses did so; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.
17:12 Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perishare passing away, we are dyingperishing, we are all dyingperishing!
18:1 So the Lord said to Aaron, “You, and your sons, and your father’s household with you shall bear the guilt in connection with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt in connection with your priesthood.
18:2 But also bring your brothers with you also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, so that they may bejoin joined with you and serve you, while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.
18:3 And they shall thusperform attendduties tofor youryou obligation and the obligationduties of all the whole tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.
18:4 They shall bejoin joined with you and attendperform to the obligationsduties of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an outsiderunauthorized mayperson shall not come near you.
18:5 So you shall attendperform to the obligationsduties of the sanctuary and the obligationsduties of the altar, so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.
18:7 But you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerningthat concerns the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as a bestowedservice servicethat is a gift, butand the outsiderunauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”
18:8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I Myself have givenput you in charge of My offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetualpermanent allotment.
18:9 This shall be yours from the most holy gifts reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, evennamely every grain offering, and every sin offering, and every guilt offering, with which they shall rendermake restitution to Me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
18:11 This also is yours, the offering of their gift, eventhat is, all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetualpermanent allotment. Everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.
18:12 All the best of the fresh oil and all the best of the fresh wine and of the grain, the first fruits of thosewhat which they give to the Lord, I givehave given them to you.
18:14 EveryEverything devotedbanned thingfrom secular use in Israel shall be yours.
18:15 Every firstfirstborn issue of the womb of all flesh, whether manhuman or animal, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; neverthelesshowever theyou firstbornmust ofredeem manthe youhuman shall surely redeemfirstborn, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.
18:16 As to their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your valuationassessment, five shekels in silver, accordingby to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
18:17 But the firstborn of an ox, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the Lord.
18:18 TheirHowever, their meat shall be yours; it shall be yours like the breast of a wave offering and like the right thigh.
18:19 All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetualpermanent allotment. It is ana everlastingpermanent covenant of salt before the Lord to you and your descendants with you.”
18:21 “To the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel foras an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.
18:22 TheAnd the sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting again, or they will bearbring sin on themselves and die.
18:23 Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquityown guilt; it shall be a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18:24 For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites foras an inheritance; therefore I have said concerning them, ‘They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.’ ”
18:27 Your offering shall be reckonedcredited to you aslike the grain from the threshing floor or the full produce from the wine vat.
18:28 So you shall also present an offering to the Lord from all your tithes, which you receive from the sons of Israel; and from it you shall give the Lord’s offering to Aaron the priest.
18:30 YouAnd you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be reckonedcredited to the Levites aslike the product of the threshing floor, and aslike the product of the wine vat.
18:32 YouAnd you will bearbring on yourselves no sin by reason of it when you have offered the best of it. But you shall not profane the sacred gifts of the sons of Israel, orso that you willdo not die.’ ”
19:2 “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placedmounted.
19:3 YouAnd you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence.
19:4 NextAnd Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
19:5 Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned.
19:6 TheAnd the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet material, and castthrow it into the midst of the burning heifer.
19:7 The priest shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp,; but the priest shallwill be unclean until evening.
19:8 The one who burns itthe heifer shall also wash his clothes in water and bathe his body in water, and shallwill be unclean until evening.
19:9 Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and depositput them outside the camp in a clean place, and the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep itthem asfor water to remove impurity; it is purification from sin.
19:10 TheAnd the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetualpermanent statute tofor the sons of Israel and tofor the alienstranger who sojournsresides among them.
19:11 ‘The one who touches the corpsedead body of any person shallwill also be unclean for seven days.
19:12 That one shall purify himself from uncleanness with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.
19:13 Anyone who touches a corpsedead body, the body of a manperson who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. BecauseSince the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shallwill be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
19:14 ‘This is the law when a manperson dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent shallwill be unclean for seven days.
19:15 EveryAnd every open vesselcontainer, which has no coveringcover tied down on it, shallwill be unclean.
19:16 Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slainkilled with a sword or one who has died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, shallwill be unclean for seven days.
19:17 Then for the unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the burnt purification from sin and flowingrunning water shall be added to them in a vesselcontainer.
19:18 AAnd a clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the furnishings, and on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the one slainwho was killed or the one dyingwho died naturally, or the grave.
19:19 Then the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him from uncleanness, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and shallwill be clean by evening.
19:20 ‘But the manperson who is unclean and does not purify himself from uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord; the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him, so he is unclean.
19:21 So it shall be a perpetualpermanent statute for them. And hethe one who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and hethe one who touches the water for impurity shallwill be unclean until evening.
19:22 Furthermore, anything that the unclean person touches shallwill be unclean; and the person who touches it shallwill be unclean until evening.’ ”
20:2 There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron.
20:3 TheThen the people thusargued contended with Moses and spoke, saying, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord!
20:4 Why then have you brought the Lord’s assembly into this wilderness, for us and our beastslivestock to die here?
20:5 Why havedid you mademake us come up from Egypt, to bring us ininto to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.”!”
20:6 Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. ThenAnd the glory of the Lord appeared to them;
20:7 andthen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
20:8 “Take the rodstaff; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it mayshall yield its water. YouSo you shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock, and lethave the congregation and their beastslivestock drink.”
20:9 So Moses took the rodstaff from before the Lord, just as He had commanded him;
20:10 and Moses and Aaron gatheredsummoned the assembly beforein front of the rock. And he said to them, “Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?”
20:11 Then Moses liftedraised up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rodstaff; and water came forthout abundantly, and the congregation and their beastslivestock drank.
20:12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “BecauseSince you havedid not believedtrust in Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, thereforefor that reason you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
20:13 Those were called the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contendedargued with the Lord, and He proved Himself holy among them.
20:14 From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom: to say, ThusThis is what your brother Israel has said,: ‘You know all the hardship that has befallenovertaken us;
20:16 But when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and sent an angel, and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
20:17 Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s highwayroad, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.’ ”
20:19 Again, the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highwayroad, and if I and my livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing elsemore.”
20:20 But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.
20:21 ThusSo Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; sothen Israel turned away from him.
20:25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar, and bring them up to Mount Hor;.
20:26 andThen strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. So Aaron will be gathered to his people, and will die there.”
20:28 AfterAnd after Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
20:29 When all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the whole house of Israel wept for Aaron for thirty days.
21:1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
21:2 So Israel made a vow to the Lord and said, “If You will indeed deliverhand over this people intoto my handme, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
21:3 The Lord heard the voice of Israel and deliveredturned upover the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. ThusAnd the name of the place was callednamed Hormah.
21:5 TheSo the people spoke against God and Moses,: “Why have you brought us up outfrom of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loatheare disgusted with this miserable food.”
21:6 TheThen the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
21:7 So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you; intercede with the Lord, that He maywill remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
21:8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and setput it on a standardflag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, whenand he looks at it, he will live.”
21:9 AndSo Moses made a bronze serpent and setput it on the standardflag pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any mansomeone, whenand he looked toat the bronze serpent, he lived.
21:11 TheyThen they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, to the east.
21:13 From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites,; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14 ThereforeFor that reason it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord, “Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon,
21:18 The well, which the leaders sankdug, Which the nobles of the people dughollowed out, With the scepter and with their staffs.” And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah,
21:20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the wastelanddesert.
21:22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king’s highwayroad until we have passed through your border.”
21:23 But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. SoInstead, Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
21:25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her villages.
21:27 ThereforeFor that reason those who use proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! So let the city of Sihon be established.
21:28 For a fire wentspread forth from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab, The dominant heights of the Arnon.
21:29 Woe to you, O Moab! You are ruineddestroyed, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To an Amorite king, Sihon.
21:30 But we have castshot them down with arrows, Heshbon is ruineddestroyed as far as Dibon, Then we have laid waste evenas tofar as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
21:31 ThusSo Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 Now Moses sent men to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out against them with all his people, for battle at Edrei.
21:34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have givenhanded him intoover yourto handyou, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived atin Heshbon.”
21:35 So they killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no remnantsurvivor left him; and they possessedtook possession of his land.
22:1 Then the sons of Israel journeyed on, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan opposite Jericho.
22:4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this horde will lickeat up all that is around us, as the ox lickseats up the grass of the field.”!” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
22:5 So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the Euphrates River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they coverhave covered the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.
22:6 Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I maywill be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
22:7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departedleft with the fees for divination in their handhands; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak’s words to him.
22:8 HeAnd he said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you just as the Lord may speak to me.” And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.
22:10 Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me,:
22:11 ‘Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt, and they cover the surface of the land; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I maywill be able to fight against them and drive them out.’ ”
22:12 But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
22:13 So Balaam arosegot up in the morning and said to Balak’s leadersrepresentatives, “Go back to your land, for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”
22:14 TheAnd leadersthe ofrepresentatives from Moab arosegot up and went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
22:15 Then Balak again sent leadersrepresentatives once again, more numerous and more distinguished than the formerprevious.
22:16 They came to Balaam and said to him, “ThusThis saysis what Balak the son of Zippor, says: Let nothing, I beg you, hinderlet nothing keep you from coming to me;
22:17 for I will indeed honor you richly, and I will do whatever you saytell to me. Please come then, curse this people for me.’ ”
22:18 But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “ThoughEven if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the Lord my God.
22:19 Now please, you also stay here tonight, and I will find out what else the Lord will speaksay to me.”
22:20 And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but you shall do only the wordthing whichthat I speaktell to you shall you do.”
22:21 So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the leaders of Moab.
22:22 But God was angry becausethat he was going, and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the wayroad as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
22:23 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the wayroad with his sword drawn sword in his hand, the donkey turned off from the wayroad and went into the field; butand Balaam struck the donkey to turnguide her back intoonto the wayroad.
22:24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path of the vineyards, with a stone wall on this side and a wall on that side.
22:25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed herself toagainst the wall and pressed Balaam’s foot against the wall, so he struck her again.
22:26 TheThen the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn to the right hand or to the left.
22:27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stickstaff.
22:28 AndThen the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”
22:29 ThenAnd Balaam said to the donkey, “BecauseIt is because you have made a mockery of me! If only there had been a sword in my hand,! For I would have killed you by now.”!”
22:30 TheBut the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomedin tothe dohabit soof doing such a thing to you?” And he said, “No.”
22:31 Then the Lord opened theBalaam’s eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground.
22:32 TheThen the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was reckless and contrary to me.
22:33 But the donkey saw me and turned asideaway from me these three times. If she had not turned asideaway from me, I certainly would surely have killed you just now, and let her live.”
22:34 So Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.”
22:35 But the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you shall speak only the word whichthat I tell you.” So Balaam went along with the leadersrepresentatives of Balak.
22:37 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send word to you to call for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really unable to honor you?”
22:38 So Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come now to you now! Am I really able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that Ionly shall I speak.”
23:4 Now God met with Balaam, and he said to Him, “I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.”
23:5 Then the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and this is what you shall speak thus.”
23:7 HeAnd he took up his discourse and said, “From Aram Balak has brought me, Moab’s king from the mountains of the East, saying, ‘Come, cursedeclare Jacob cursed for me, And come, denouncecurse Israel!’
23:8 How shallam I to put a curse on him upon whom God has not cursedput a curse? And how canam I denounceto curse him whom the Lord has not denouncedcursed?
23:9 AsFor I see him from the top of the rocks, And I look at him from the hills; Behold, a people whothat dwellslives apartin isolation, And willdoes not consider itself to be reckoned among the nations.
23:10 Who canhas countcounted the dust of Jacob, Or the number of the fourth part of Israel? LetMay meI die the death of the upright, And letmay my end be like his!”
23:11 Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to put a curse on my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!”
23:13 Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them and will not see all of them; and put a curse on them for me from there.”
23:14 So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
23:15 AndThen he said to Balak, “Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet the Lord over there.”
23:16 Then the Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thusthis is what you shall speak.”
23:17 HeSo he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”
23:18 Then he took up his discourse and said, “Arise, O Balak, and hear; GiveListen ear to me, O son of Zippor!
23:19 God is not a man, that He shouldwould lie, Nor a son of man, that He shouldwould repentchange His mind; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.
23:21 He has not observedlooked at misfortune in Jacob; Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; The Lord his God is with him, And the joyful shout of a king is among them.
23:23 For there is no omenmagic curse against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!
23:24 Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And aslike a lion it liftsraises itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of thethose slain.”
23:26 But Balaam replied to Balak, “Did I not tell you, ‘Whatever the Lord speaks, that I must do’?”
23:28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wastelanddesert.
23:29 And Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
24:1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens, butrather he setturned his faceattention toward the wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam liftedraised up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
24:3 HeThen he took up his discourse and said, “The oracledeclaration of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracledeclaration of the man whose eye is opened;
24:4 The oracledeclaration of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,
24:5 How fairpleasant are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellingsdwelling places, O Israel!
24:6 Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside thea river, Like aloes planted by the Lord, Like cedars beside the waters.
24:8 God brings him out of Egypt, He is for him like the horns of the wild ox. He will devour the nations who are his adversaries, And will crush their bones in pieces, And shattersmash them with his arrows.
24:9 He couchescrouches, he lies down aslike a lion, And aslike a lionlioness, who dares to rouse him? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
24:11 Therefore,So flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor.”
24:12 And Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not in fact tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,
24:13 ThoughIf Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the Lord, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the Lord speaks, that I will speak’?
24:14 AndSo now, behold, I am going to my people; come, and I will advise you of what this people will do to your people in the days to come.”
24:15 HeThen he took up his discourse and said, “The oracledeclaration of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracledeclaration of the man whose eye is opened,
24:16 The oracledeclaration of him who hears the words of God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.:
24:17 I see him, but not now; I beholdlook at him, but not near; A star shall comeappear forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crushsmash through the forehead of Moab, And tearovercome down all the sons of Sheth.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.
24:19 One from Jacob shall have dominionrule, And will destroyeliminate the remnantsurvivors from the city.”
24:22 Nevertheless Kain will besuffer consumeddevastation; How long will Asshur keep you captive?”
24:23 Then he took up his discourse and said, “AlasOh, who can live exceptunless God has ordained it?
24:24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflictoppress Asshur and willoppress afflict Eber; So they also will come to destruction.”
24:25 Then Balaam arose, and he departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.
25:1 While Israel remained at Shittim, the people began to playcommit theinfidelity harlot with the daughters of Moab.
25:3 So Israel joinedbecame themselvesfollowers toof Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry againstwith Israel.
25:4 TheAnd the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the Lord, so that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
25:5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you slaykill his men who have joinedbecome themselvesfollowers toof Baal of Peor.”
25:6 Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the doorwayentrance of the tent of meeting.
25:7 When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he aroserose up from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand,
25:8 and he went after the man of Israel into the inner room of the tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the bodyabdomen. So the plague on the sons of Israel was checkedbrought to a halt.
25:9 ThoseBut those who died byfrom the plague were 24,000twenty-four thousand in number.
25:11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turnedaverted away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel in My jealousy.
25:12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I giveam giving him My covenant of peace;
25:13 and it shall be for him and for his descendants after him, a covenant of a perpetualpermanent priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the sons of Israel.’ ”
25:14 Now the name of the slaindead man of Israel who was slainkilled with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father’s household among the Simeonites.
25:15 TheAnd the name of the Midianite woman who was slainkilled was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head of the people of a father’s household in Midian.
25:17 “Be hostile to the Midianites and strikeattack them;
25:18 for they have been hostile to you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the affairmatter of Peor and in the affairmatter of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was slainkilled on the day of the plague because of Peor.”
26:1 Then it came about after the plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel.”
26:4 “Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord has commanded Moses.” Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were as follows:

26:60 ToAnd to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
26:62 Those who were numbered of them were 23twenty-three thousand,000, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.
26:63 These are thosethe ones who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
26:65 For the Lord had said of them, “They shall surelycertainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

27:4 Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family simply because he had no son? Give us aproperty possession among our father’s brothers.”
27:6 Then the Lord spokesaid to Moses, saying,
27:7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are right inabout their statements. You shall surelycertainly give them a hereditary possessionproperty among their father’s brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them.
27:9 IfAnd if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
27:11 IfAnd if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and he shall possesstake possession of it; and it shall be a statutory ordinance to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord has commanded Moses.’ ”
27:13 When you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother was;
27:16 “May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all fleshhumanity, appoint a man over the congregation,
27:17 who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord will not be like sheep whichthat have no shepherd.”

29:40 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel in accordance with alleverything that the Lord had commanded Moses.
30:1 Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the word which the Lord has commanded.:
30:2 If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to bindput himself withunder a binding obligation, he shall not violatebreak his word; he shall doact accordingin toaccordance allwith everything that proceedscomes out of his mouth.
30:3 AlsoAnd if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and bindsputs herself byunder ana binding obligation in her father’s house in her youth,
30:4 and her father hears her vow and her obligation byunder which she has boundput herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall standremain valid and every binding obligation byunder which she has boundput herself shall standremain valid.
30:5 But if her father shouldexpresses forbiddisapproval to her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations byunder which she has boundput herself shall standremain valid; and the Lord will forgive her because her father hadhas forbiddenexpressed disapproval to her.
30:6 “However, if she shouldhappens to marry while under her vows or the rashimpulsive statement of her lips by which she has boundobligated herself,
30:7 and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall standremain valid and her binding obligations byunder which she has boundput herself shall standremain valid.
30:8 But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbidsexpresses disapproval to her, then he shallwill annul her vow which she is under and the rashimpulsive statement of her lips by which she has boundobligated herself; and the Lord will forgive her.
30:9 “But as for the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, everythingevery bybinding obligation under which she has boundput herself, shall standremain valid against her.
30:10 However, if shea married woman vowed in her husband’s house, or boundput herself byunder ana binding obligation with an oath,
30:11 and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not forbidexpress disapproval to her, then all her vows shall standremain valid and every binding obligation byunder which she boundput herself shall standremain valid.
30:12 But if her husband indeedactually annuls them on the day he hears them, then whateverno proceedsutterance outfrom of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the obligation ofshe put on herself shall notremain standvalid; her husband has annulled them, and the Lord will forgive her.
30:14 But if her husband indeedin fact says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her binding obligations which are on her; he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.
30:15 ButHowever, if he indeedactually annuls them after he has heard them, then he shall bear the responsibility for her guilt.”
30:16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, asconcerning matters between a man and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter, while she is in her youth in her father’s house.
31:2 “Take full vengeance on the Midianites for the sons of Israel on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people.”
31:3 So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, so that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord’s vengeance on Midian.
31:4 AYou shall send a thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war.”
31:5 So there were furnishedselected from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them, a thousand from each tribe, to the war, and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war with them, and the holy vesselsimplements and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
31:8 They killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of theirthose slainkilled: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian;. theyThey also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
31:9 TheAnd the sons of Israel capturedtook captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and they plundered all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods they plunderedproperty.
31:10 Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps with fireencampments.
31:11 TheyAnd they took all the spoilplunder and all the preyspoils, both of manpeople and of beastlivestock.
31:12 They brought the captives and the preyspoils and the spoilplunder to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.
31:14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captainscommanders of thousands and the captainscommanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
31:16 Behold, thesethey caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespassbe againstunfaithful to the Lord in the matter of Peor, so that the plague wastook place among the congregation of the Lord.!
31:17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately.
31:18 ButHowever, all the girls who have not known a man intimately, sparekeep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And as for you, camp outside the camp for seven days; whoever has killed anya person and whoever has touched anyanyone slainkilled, purify yourselves, you and your captives, on the third day and on the seventh day.
31:20 YouAnd you shall purify for yourselves every garment, and every article of leather, andevery all the work of goats’ hair, and allevery articlesarticle of wood.”
31:21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, “This is the statute of the lawLaw which the Lord has commanded Moses:
31:22 only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
31:23 everything that can standwithstand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shallwill be clean, butonly it shall be purified with water for impurity. But whatever cannot standwithstand the fire you shall pass through the water.
31:24 And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day and you will be clean,; and afterward you may enter the camp.”
31:26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation take a count of the bootyspoils that waswere captured, both of manpeople and of animallivestock;
31:27 and divide the bootyspoils between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.
31:28 LevyAlso, collect a tribute tax for the Lord from the men of war who went out to battle, one in five hundred of the persons, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep;
31:30 FromAnd from the sons of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn outfrom of every fifty of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, from all the animals,; and give them to the Levites who keepperform chargethe duty of the tabernacle of the Lord.”
31:32 Now the bootyspoils that remained from the spoilplunder which the men of war had plundered was 675,000 sheep,
31:33 andseventy-two 72,000thousand cattle,
31:34 andsixty-one 61,000thousand donkeys,
31:35 and of humancaptive beingspeople, of the women who had not known a man intimately, in all thewere personsthirty-two werethousand 32,000people.
31:36 The half, the portionshare of those who went out to war, was as follows: the number of sheep was 337,500,
31:37 and the Lord’s levytribute tax of the sheep was 675;
31:38 and the cattle were 36thirty-six thousand,000, from which the Lord’s levytribute tax was 72seventy-two;
31:39 and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the Lord’s levytribute tax was 61sixty-one;
31:40 and the humancaptive beingspeople were 16sixteen thousand,000, from whom the Lord’s levytribute tax was 32thirty-two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the levytribute tax, which was the Lord’s offering, to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
31:44 andthirty-six 36,000thousand cattle,
31:45 and 30,500 donkeys,
31:46 and the humancaptive beingspeople were 16,000sixteen thousand
31:47 and from the sons of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn outfrom of every fifty, both of manpeople and of animals, and gave them to the Levites, who keptperformed chargethe duty of the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
31:48 Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captainscommanders of thousands and the captainscommanders of hundreds, approached Moses,
31:49 and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a census of the men of war who are inunder our chargeauthority, and no man of us is missing.
31:50 So we have brought as an offering to the Lord what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”
31:51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of wroughtcrafted articles.
31:52 All the gold of the offering which they offered up to the Lord, from the captainscommanders of thousands and the captainscommanders of hundreds, was 16,750 shekels.
31:53 The men of war had taken bootyplunder, every man for himself.
31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captainscommanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it to the tent of meeting as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the Lord.
32:1 Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had ana exceedinglyvery large number of livestock. So when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that it was indeed a place suitable for livestock,
32:2 the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
32:3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
32:5 TheyAnd they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as aour possessionproperty; do not take us across the Jordan.”
32:6 But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “ShallShould your brothers go to war while you yourselvesremain sit here?
32:7 NowAnd why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which the Lord has given them?
32:9 For when they went up to the valleyValley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
32:10 So the Lord’s anger burned inon that day, and He swore, saying,
32:11 ‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully,
32:12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun,; for they have followed the Lord fully.’
32:13 So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord wascame destroyedto an end.
32:14 Now behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, aborn brood of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of the Lord against Israel.
32:15 For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more abandonleave them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”
32:16 Then they cameapproached near to him and said, “We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock here and cities for our little ones;
32:17 but we ourselves will be armed, readyhurrying toahead goof before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessedgained possession of his inheritance.
32:19 ForBut we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallencome to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”
32:21 and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven His enemies out from before Him,
32:22 and the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shallmay return and be free of obligation toward the Lord and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours foras aproperty possession before the Lord.
32:23 But if you willdo not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure that your sin will find you out.
32:25 TheThen the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead;,
32:27 while your servants, that is, everyone who is armed for war, will cross over in the presence of the Lord to battle, just as my lord says.”
32:28 So Moses gave the command concerningregarding them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
32:29 And Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross with you over the Jordan in the presence of the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead foras atheir possessionproperty;
32:30 but if they willdo not cross over with you armed, they shall haveinstead possessionsbe settled among you in the land of Canaan.”
32:31 TheAnd the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, “As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.
32:32 We ourselves will cross over armed in the presence of the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possessionproperty of our inheritance shall remain with us across the Jordan.”
32:33 So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities with their territories, the cities of the surrounding land.
32:34 TheAnd the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and sheepfolds for sheep.
32:37 The sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
32:38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon—their names being changed—and Sibmah, and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
32:42 Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and callednamed it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1 These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, by which they came out fromof the land of Egypt by their armies, under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
33:3 TheyNow they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the sons of Israel started out boldly in the sight of all the Egyptians,
33:4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the Lord had fatally struck down among them. The Lord had also executed judgments onagainst their gods.
33:7 TheyThen they journeyed from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces Baal-zephon,; and they camped before Migdol.
33:8 They journeyed from beforePi-hahiroth Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea intoto the wilderness; and they went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.
33:11 TheyAnd they journeyed from the Red Sea and camped in the wilderness of Sin.
33:14 TheyAnd they journeyed from Alush and camped at Rephidim; now it was there that the people had no water to drink.
33:15 TheyAnd they journeyed from Rephidim and camped in the wilderness of Sinai.
33:16 They journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.
33:39 Aaron was one123 hundred twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
33:40 Now the Canaanite, the king of Arad who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard ofabout the coming of the sons of Israel.
33:48 They journeyed from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
33:49 They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim, in the plains of Moab.
33:51 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
33:52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figuredidolatrous stonessculptures, and destroy all their moltencast metal images, and demolisheliminate all their high places;
33:54 You shall inheritmaintain the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inheritpass on land as an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shallwill come about that those whom you let remain of them will becomebe aslike pricksthorns in your eyes and aslike thornspricks in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.
33:56 And just as I plan to do to them, so I will do to you.’ ”
34:2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, eventhat is, the land of Canaan according to its borders.
34:3 Your southern sectorregion shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.
34:4 Then your border shall turnchange direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.
34:5 TheThen the border shall turnchange direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.
34:6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your westwestern border.
34:7 ‘And this shall be your northnorthern border: you shall draw your borderboundary line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.
34:8 You shall draw a lineboundary from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;
34:9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northnorthern border.
34:10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a lineboundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
34:12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all aroundsides.’ ”
34:13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the land that you are to apportionpossess by lot among you as a possession, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.
34:15 The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrisingsunrise.”
34:17 “These are the names of the men who shall apportionassign the land to you foras an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 YouAnd you shall take one leader of everyeach tribe to apportionassign the land foras an inheritance.
34:22 OfAnd of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.
34:23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
34:24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
34:25 Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
34:26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
34:27 Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
34:28 Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
34:29 These are thosethe ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
35:1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,
35:3 The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herdsequipment and for all their beastsother animals.
35:4 “The pasture lands of the cities which you shallare to give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.
35:5 You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.
35:6 The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall giveprovide for the manslayerone who commits manslaughter to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities.
