+001:046 even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand + five hundred fifty. +001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not + numbered among them. +001:048 For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +001:049 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall + you take a census of them among the children of Israel; +001:050 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, + and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. + They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; + and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it. +001:051 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; + and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set + it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. +001:052 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man + by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, + according to their divisions. +001:053 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, + that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children + of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle + of the Testimony." +001:054 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh + commanded Moses, so they did. +002:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +002:002 "The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, + with the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance + from the tent of meeting shall they encamp around it." +002:003 Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of + the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions: + and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon + the son of Amminadab. +002:004 His division, and those who were numbered of them, + were seventy-four thousand six hundred. +002:005 Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar: + and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel + the son of Zuar. +002:006 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four + thousand four hundred. +002:007 The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun + shall be Eliab the son of Helon. +002:008 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven + thousand four hundred. +002:009 All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred + eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions. + They shall set out first. +002:010 "On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben + according to their divisions. The prince of the children + of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. +002:011 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were forty-six + thousand five hundred. +002:012 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon. + The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel + the son of Zurishaddai. +002:013 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-nine + thousand three hundred. +002:014 "The tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad + shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. +002:015 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-five + thousand six hundred fifty. +002:016 "All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben were one hundred + fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their armies. + They shall set out second. +002:017 "Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp + of the Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, + so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards. +002:018 "On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim + according to their divisions: and the prince of the children + of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. +002:019 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty + thousand five hundred. +002:020 "Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince + of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. +002:021 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-two + thousand two hundred. +002:022 "The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children + of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. +002:023 His army, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five + thousand four hundred. +002:024 "All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred + eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions. + They shall set out third. +002:025 "On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan + according to their divisions: and the prince of the children + of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. +002:026 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two + thousand seven hundred. +002:027 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher: + and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel + the son of Ochran. +002:028 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-one + thousand and five hundred. +002:029 "The tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children + of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. +002:030 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three + thousand four hundred. +002:031 "All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred + fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last + by their standards." +002:032 These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel + by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps + according to their armies were six hundred three thousand + five hundred fifty. +002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; + as Yahweh commanded Moses. +002:034 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh + commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, + and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to + their fathers' houses. +003:001 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses + in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. +003:002 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, + and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. +003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests + who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in + the priest's office. +003:004 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange + fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had + no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's + office in the presence of Aaron their father. +003:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +003:006 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron + the priest, that they may minister to him. +003:007 They shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole + congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service + of the tabernacle. +003:008 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, + and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service + of the tabernacle. +003:009 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are + wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel. +003:010 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep + their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be + put to death." +003:011 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +003:012 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children + of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among + the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine: +003:013 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck + down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy + to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. + They shall be mine. I am Yahweh." +003:014 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, +003:015 "Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, + by their families: every male from a month old and upward + shall you number." +003:016 Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh, + as he was commanded. +003:017 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, + and Merari. +003:018 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: + Libni and Shimei. +003:019 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, + and Uzziel. +003:020 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. + These are the families of the Levites according to + their fathers' houses. +003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family + of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites. +003:022 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all + the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were + numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred. +003:023 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind + the tabernacle westward. +003:024 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall + be Eliasaph the son of Lael. +003:025 The charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall + be the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the screen + for the door of the Tent of Meeting, +003:026 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door + of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, + and its cords for all of its service. +003:027 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family + of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, + and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families + of the Kohathites. +003:028 According to the number of all the males, from a month + old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, + keeping the charge of the sanctuary. +003:029 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south + side of the tabernacle. +003:030 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites + shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. +003:031 Their charge shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, + the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, + and the screen, and all its service. +003:032 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes + of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge + of the sanctuary. +003:033 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family + of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari. +003:034 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number + of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six + thousand two hundred. +003:035 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari + was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north + side of the tabernacle. +003:036 The appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the + tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, + all its instruments, all its service, +003:037 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, + and their cords. +003:038 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, + in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, + shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge + of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel. + The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. +003:039 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered + at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males + from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand. +003:040 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males + of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, + and take the number of their names. +003:041 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) + instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; + and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn + among the livestock of the children of Israel." +003:042 Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn + among the children of Israel. +003:043 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, + from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, + were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three. +003:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +003:045 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among + the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites + instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. + I am Yahweh. +003:046 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the + firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number + of the Levites, +003:047 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; + after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them + (the shekel is twenty gerahs): +003:048 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them + is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons." +003:049 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded + the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites; +003:050 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, + one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel + of the sanctuary: +003:051 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, + according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses. +004:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +004:002 "Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, + by their families, by their fathers' houses, +004:003 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, + all who enter into the service, to do the work in the + Tent of Meeting. +004:004 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, + the most holy things. +004:005 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, + and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover + the ark of the Testimony with it, +004:006 and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread + over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles. +004:007 On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, + and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups + with which to pour out;

all the vessels of the altar; and they shall + spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles. +004:015 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, + and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; + after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: + but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. + These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the + Tent of Meeting. +004:016 "The charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil + for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, + and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, + and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings." +004:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +004:018 "Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites + from among the Levites; +004:019 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they + approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, + and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden; +004:020 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, + lest they die." +004:021 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +004:022 "Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' + houses, by their families; +004:023 from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall + you number them; all who enter in to wait on the service, + to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. +004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, + in serving and in bearing burdens: +004:025 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent + of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is + above on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting, +004:026 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door + of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and + around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments + of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. + Therein shall they serve. +004:027 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the + service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, + and in all their service; and you shall appoint to them + in charge all their burden. +004:028 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites + in the Tent of Meeting: and their charge shall be under + the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. +004:029 "As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families, + by their fathers' houses;

that they not defile their camp, + in the midst of which I dwell." +005:004 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; + as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel. +005:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +005:006 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits + any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, + and that soul is guilty; +005:007 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall + make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it + the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom + he has been guilty. +005:008 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made + for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh + shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, + by which atonement shall be made for him. +005:009 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children + of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. +005:010 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives + the priest, it shall be his." +005:011 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +005:012 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: + If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him, +005:013 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes + of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, + and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken + in the act; +005:014 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous + of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit + of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, + and she isn't defiled: +005:015 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring + her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. + He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it + is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, + bringing iniquity to memory. +005:016 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh; +005:017 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; + and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle + the priest shall take, and put it into the water. +005:018 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair + of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of + memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. + The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness + that brings a curse. +005:019 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, + 'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside + to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this + water of bitterness that brings a curse. +005:020 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, + and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you + besides your husband:' +005:021 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath + of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make + you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows + your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; +005:022 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, + and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' + The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.' +005:023 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall + blot them out into the water of bitterness. +005:024 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes + the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter + into her and become bitter. +005:025 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the + woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, + and bring it to the altar. +005:026 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, + as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward + shall make the woman drink the water. +005:027 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, + if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against + her husband, that the water that causes the curse will + enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, + and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse + among her people. +005:028 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, + and shall conceive seed. +005:029 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, + goes astray, and is defiled; +005:030 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous + of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, + and the priest shall execute on her all this law. +005:031 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall + bear her iniquity." +006:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +006:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When either + man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, + to separate himself to Yahweh, +006:003 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. + He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, + neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh + grapes or dried. +006:004 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is + made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins. +006:005 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no + razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, + in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. + He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. +006:006 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall + not go near a dead body. +006:007 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 separation to God is on his head. +006:008 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh. +006:009 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head + of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day + of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it. +006:010 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young + pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. +006:011 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other + for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he + sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy + that same day. +006:012 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, + and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; + but the former days shall be void, because his separation + was defiled. +006:013 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his + separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door + of the Tent of Meeting, +006:014 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb + a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one + ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, + and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, +006:015 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour + mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, + and their meal offering, and their drink offerings. +006:016 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer + his sin offering, and his burnt offering. +006:017 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings + to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest + shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering. +006:018 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door + of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head + of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under + the sacrifice of peace offerings. +006:019 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one + unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, + and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has + shaved the head of his separation; +006:020 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. + This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is + waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite + may drink wine. +006:021 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering + to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. + According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law + of his separation." +006:022 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +006:023 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you + shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them, +006:024 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you. +006:025 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. +006:026 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.' +006:027 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; + and I will bless them." +007:001 It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up + the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, + with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, + and had anointed and sanctified them; +007:002 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' + houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. + These are they who were over those who were numbered: +007:003 and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, + and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for + each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle. +007:004 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +007:005 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service + of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, + to every man according to his service." +007:006 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. +007:007 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, + according to their service: +007:008 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, + according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar + the son of Aaron the priest. +007:009 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service + of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it + on their shoulders. +007:010 The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar + in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their + offerings before the altar. +007:011 Yahweh said to Moses, "They shall offer their offering, + each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar." +007:012 He who offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son + of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah, +007:013 and his offering was: one silver platter, the weight of which was + one hundred thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, + after the shekel of the sanctuary;

He lit its lamps to light the area in front + of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses. +008:004 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. + From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: + according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, + so he made the lampstand. +008:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +008:006 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, + and cleanse them. +008:007 Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water + of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, + and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. +008:008 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, + fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall + take for a sin offering. +008:009 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. + You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel. +008:010 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children + of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites, +008:011 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering, + on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs + to do the service of Yahweh. +008:012 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, + and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for + a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites. +008:013 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, + and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh. +008:014 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children + of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine. +008:015 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of + the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer + them as a wave offering. +008:016 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; + instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all + the children of Israel, I have taken them to me. +008:017 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, + both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn + in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. +008:018 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among + the children of Israel. +008:019 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons + from among the children of Israel, to do the service of + the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make + atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague + among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel + come near to the sanctuary." +008:020 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children + of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh + commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children + of Israel did to them. +008:021 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed + their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering + before Yahweh; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. +008:022 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in + the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: + as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, + so they did to them. +008:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +008:024 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five + years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service + in the work of the Tent of Meeting; +008:025 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting + on the work, and shall serve no more, +008:026 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent + of Meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. + Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their duties." +009:001 Yahweh 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, +009:002 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover + in its appointed season. +009:003 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep + it in its appointed season--according to all its statutes, + and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it." +009:004 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should + keep the Passover. +009:005 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth + day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. + According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children + of Israel did. +009:006 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body + of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, + and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day. +009:007 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead + body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer + the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among + the children of Israel?" +009:008 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will + command concerning you." +009:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +009:010 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your + generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a + journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh. +009:011 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they + shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread + and bitter herbs. +009:012 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone + of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they + shall keep it. +009:013 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails + to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. + Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its + appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. +009:014 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover + to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, + and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. + You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him + who is born in the land.'" +009:015 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud + covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: + and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were + the appearance of fire, until morning. +009:016 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance + of fire by night. +009:017 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after + that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where + the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped. +009:018 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, + and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long + as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped. +009:019 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, + then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, + and didn't travel. +009:020 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; + then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, + and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. +009:021 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; + and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: + or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled. +009:022 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud + stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children + of Israel remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it + was taken up, they traveled. +009:023 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment + of Yahweh they traveled. They kept the charge of Yahweh, + at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses. +010:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +010:002 Make you two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall you make them: + and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, + and for the journeying of the camps. +010:003 When they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather + themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting. +010:004 If they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands + of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. +010:005 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side + shall take their journey. +010:006 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie + on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow + an alarm for their journeys. +010:007 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, + but you shall not sound an alarm. +010:008 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they + shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations. +010:009 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who + oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; + and you shall be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you + shall be saved from your enemies. +010:010 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, + and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets + over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your + peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial + before your God: I am Yahweh your God. +010:011 It happened in the second year, in the second month, + on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken + up from over the tent of the testimony. +010:012 The children of Israel set forward according to their journeys + out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in + the wilderness of Paran. +010:013 They first took their journey according to the commandment + of Yahweh by Moses. +010:014 In the first [place] the standard of the camp of the children + of Judah set forward according to their armies: + and over his army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. +010:015 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was + Nethanel the son of Zuar. +010:016 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab + the son of Helon. +010:017 The tent was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons + of Merari, who bore the tent, set forward. +010:018 The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to + their armies: and over his army was Elizur the son of Shedeur. +010:019 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was + Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. +010:020 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph + the son of Deuel. +010:021 The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: + and [the others] did set up the tent against their coming. +010:022 The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward + according to their armies: and over his army was Elishama + the son of Ammihud. +010:023 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was + Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. +010:024 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was + Abidan the son of Gideoni. +010:025 The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the + rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies: + and over his army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. +010:026 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel + the son of Ochran. +010:027 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira + the son of Enan. +010:028 Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according + to their armies; and they set forward. +010:029 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' + father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, + I will give it to you: come you with us, and we will do you good; + for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel. +010:030 He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, + and to my relatives. +010:031 He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we + are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us + instead of eyes. +010:032 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever + good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you. +010:033 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey; + and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them + three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them. +010:034 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward + from the camp. +010:035 It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, + Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered; + and let those who hate you flee before you. +010:036 When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands + of the thousands of Israel. +011:001 The people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of Yahweh: + and when Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire + of Yahweh burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost + part of the camp. +011:002 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, + and the fire abated. +011:003 The name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire + of Yahweh burnt among them. +011:004 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: + and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, + Who shall give us flesh to eat? +011:005 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; + the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, + and the garlic: +011:006 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save + this manna to look on. +011:007 The manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it + as the appearance of bdellium. +011:008 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, + or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: + and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. +011:009 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. +011:010 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, + every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh + was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. +011:011 Moses said to Yahweh, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? + and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay + the burden of all this people on me? +011:012 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, + that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, + as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you + swore to their fathers? +011:013 Where should I get meat to give to all this people? for they + weep to me, saying, Give us meat, that we may eat. +011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is + too heavy for me. +011:015 If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have + found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. +011:016 Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders + of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, + and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, + that they may stand there with you. +011:017 I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take + of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; + and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, + that you not bear it yourself alone. +011:018 Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, + and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears + of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was + well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, + and you shall eat. +011:019 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, + neither ten days, nor twenty days, +011:020 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it + be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh + who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came + we forth out of Egypt? +011:021 Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred + thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, + that they may eat a whole month. +011:022 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? + or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, + to suffice them? +011:023 Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall + you see whether my word shall happen to you or not. +011:024 Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh: + and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, + and set them round about the Tent. +011:025 Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of + the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: + and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, + they prophesied, but they did so no more. +011:026 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, + and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; + and they were of those who were written, but had not gone + out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. +011:027 There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad + do prophesy in the camp. +011:028 Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his + chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them. +011:029 Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? + I wish that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh + would put his Spirit on them! +011:030 Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. +011:031 There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails + from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's + journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, + round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface + of the earth. +011:032 The people rose up all that day, and all the night, + and all the next day, and gathered the quails: + he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread + them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. +011:033 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, + the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh + struck the people with a very great plague. +011:034 The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there + they buried the people who lusted. +011:035 From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; + and they abode at Hazeroth. +012:001 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite + woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. +012:002 They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he + spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it. +012:003 Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were + on the surface of the earth. +012:004 Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, + and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. + They three came out. +012:005 Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of + the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. +012:006 He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, + I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will + speak with him in a dream. +012:007 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: +012:008 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, + and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: + why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, + against Moses? +012:009 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed. +012:010 The cloud removed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, + as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, + she was leprous. +012:011 Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, + for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. +012:012 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half + consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb. +012:013 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you. +012:014 Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, + shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up + outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall + be brought in again. +012:015 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: + and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again. +012:016 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped + in the wilderness of Paran. +013:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +013:002 Send you men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, + which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their + fathers shall you send a man, everyone a prince among them. +013:003 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to + the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads + of the children of Israel. +013:004 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the + son of Zaccur. +013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. +013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. +013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. +013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. +013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. +013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. +013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi + the son of Susi. +013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. +013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. +013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. +013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. +013:016 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. + Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. +013:017 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, + Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country: +013:018 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, + whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; +013:019 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; + and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, + or in strongholds; +013:020 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, + whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, + and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time + of the first-ripe grapes. +013:021 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness + of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. +013:022 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; + and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. + (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) +013:023 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there + a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on + a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates, + and of the figs. +013:024 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster + which the children of Israel cut down from there. +013:025 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. +013:026 They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation + of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; + and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, + and shown them the fruit of the land. +013:027 They told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us; + and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is + the fruit of it. +013:028 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, + and the cities are fortified, [and] very great: + and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. +013:029 Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, + and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; + and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side + of the Jordan. +013:030 Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up + at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. +013:031 But the men who went up with him said, We aren't able to go + up against the people; for they are stronger than we. +013:032 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had + spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, + through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats + up the inhabitants of it; and all the people who we saw in it + are men of great stature. +013:033 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of + the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, + and so we were in their sight. +014:001 All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; + and the people wept that night. +014:002 All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: + and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we + had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died + in this wilderness! +014:003 Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? + Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it + be better for us to return into Egypt? +014:004 They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us + return into Egypt. +014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly + of the congregation of the children of Israel. +014:006 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, + who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes: +014:007 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, + saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, + is an exceeding good land. +014:008 If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, + and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey. +014:009 Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people + of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense + is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: + don't fear them. +014:010 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. + The glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of meeting to all + the children of Israel. +014:011 Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? + and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs + which I have worked among them? +014:012 I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, + and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they. +014:013 Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will hear it; + for you brought up this people in your might from among them; +014:014 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. + They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; + for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and 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. +014:015 Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations + which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying, +014:016 Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into + the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them + in the wilderness. +014:017 Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you + have spoken, saying, +014:018 Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, + forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means + clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers + on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation. +014:019 Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to + the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you + have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. +014:020 Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word: +014:021 but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be + filled with the glory of Yahweh; +014:022 because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, + which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted + me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; +014:023 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, + neither shall any of those who despised me see it: +014:024 but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, + and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land + into which he went; and his seed shall possess it. +014:025 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: + tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way + to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. +014:026 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +014:027 How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur + against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children + of Israel, which they murmur against me. +014:028 Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken + in my ears, so will I do to you: +014:029 your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all + who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, + from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, +014:030 surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I + swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son + of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. +014:031 But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, + them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which + you have rejected. +014:032 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. +014:033 Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, + and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies + be consumed in the wilderness. +014:034 After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, + even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your + iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation. +014:035 I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this + evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: + in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there + they shall die. +014:036 The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, + and made all the congregation to murmur against him, + by bringing up an evil report against the land, +014:037 even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, + died by the plague before Yahweh. +014:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, + remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land. +014:039 Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: + and the people mourned greatly. +014:040 They rose up early in the morning, and got them up + to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, + and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: + for we have sinned. +014:041 Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, + seeing it shall not prosper? +014:042 Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck + down before your enemies. +014:043 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, + and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back + from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you. +014:044 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: + nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, + didn't depart out of the camp. +014:045 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived + in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, + even to Hormah. +015:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +015:002 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are + come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, +015:003 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, + or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, + or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, + of the herd, or of the flock; +015:004 then shall he who offers his offering offer to Yahweh a meal + offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed + with the fourth part of a hin of oil: +015:005 and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, + shall you prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, + for each lamb. +015:006 Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth + parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part + of a hin of oil: +015:007 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part + of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. +015:008 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, + to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh; +015:009 then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth + parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil: +015:010 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, + for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. +015:011 Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, + or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. +015:012 According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you + do to everyone according to their number. +015:013 All who are native-born shall do these things after this manner, + in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. +015:014 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may + be among you throughout your generations, and will offer + an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; + as you do, so he shall do. +015:015 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, + and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], + a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, + so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh. +015:016 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger + who lives as a foreigner with you. +015:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +015:018 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come + into the land where I bring you, +015:019 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, + you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh. +015:020 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a + wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, + so shall you heave it. +015:021 Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave + offering throughout your generations. +015:022 When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, + which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, +015:023 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that + Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; +015:024 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge + of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one + young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, + with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, + according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. +015:025 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation + of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; + for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, + an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering + before Yahweh, for their error: +015:026 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall + be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; + for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. +015:027 If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female + goat a year old for a sin offering. +015:028 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, + when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; + and he shall be forgiven. +015:029 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, + for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, + and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them. +015:030 But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is + native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; + and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. +015:031 Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken + his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; + his iniquity shall be on him. +015:032 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found + a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. +015:033 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses + and Aaron, and to all the congregation. +015:034 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared + what should be done to him. +015:035 Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: + all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside + of the camp. +015:036 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned + him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses. +015:037 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +015:038 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they + should make them fringes{or, tassels (Hebrew tzitzit)} in + the borders of their garments throughout their generations, + and that they put on the fringe{or, tassel} of each border + a cord of blue: +015:039 and it shall be to you for a fringe{or, tassel}, that you may look + on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; + and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, + after which you use to play the prostitute; +015:040 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy + to your God. +015:041 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, + to be your God: I am Yahweh your God. +016:001 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 [men]: +016:002 and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children + of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, + called to the assembly, men of renown; +016:003 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and + against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you, + seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, + and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above + the assembly of Yahweh? +016:004 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face: +016:005 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the + morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, + and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall + choose he will cause to come near to him. +016:006 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company; +016:007 and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow: + and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh does choose, he [shall + be] holy: you take too much on you, you sons of Levi. +016:008 Moses said to Korah, Hear now, you sons of Levi: +016:009 [seems it but] a small thing to you, that the God of Israel + has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring + you near to himself, to do the service of the tent of Yahweh, + and to stand before the congregation to minister to them; +016:010 and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons + of Levi with you? and seek you the priesthood also? +016:011 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together + against Yahweh: and Aaron, what is he who you murmur against him? +016:012 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; + and they said, We won't come up: +016:013 is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land + flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, + but you must needs make yourself also a prince over us? +016:014 Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk + and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: + will you put out the eyes of these men? we won't come up. +016:015 Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, "Don't respect + their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, + neither have I hurt one of them." +016:016 Moses said to Korah, You and all your company go before Yahweh, + you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: +016:017 and take every man his censer, and put incense on them, + and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred + fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer. +016:018 They took every man his censer, and put fire in them, + and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent + of meeting with Moses and Aaron. +016:019 Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door + of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared + to all the congregation. +016:020 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may + consume them in a moment. +016:022 They fell on their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits + of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry + with all the congregation? +016:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +016:024 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent + of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. +016:025 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders + of Israel followed him. +016:026 He spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, + from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, + lest you be consumed in all their sins. +016:027 So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, + on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood + at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, + and their little ones. +016:028 Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do + all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of my own mind. +016:029 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they + be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh + hasn't sent me. +016:030 But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, + and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, + and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand + that these men have despised Yahweh. +016:031 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, + that the ground split apart that was under them; +016:032 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, + and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, + and all their goods. +016:033 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive + into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished + from among the assembly. +016:034 All Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; + for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. +016:035 Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred + fifty men who offered the incense. +016:036 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +016:037 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up + the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; + for they are holy, +016:038 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; + and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: + for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; + and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel. +016:039 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who + were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering + of the altar, +016:040 to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that + no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn + incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: + as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses. +016:041 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel + murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have + killed the people of Yahweh. +016:042 It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses + and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: + and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared. +016:043 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting. +016:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +016:045 Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them + in a moment. They fell on their faces. +016:046 Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein + from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it + quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: + for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun. +016:047 Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; + and behold, the plague was begun among the people: + and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. +016:048 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. +016:049 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and + seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah. +016:050 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tent of meeting: + and the plague was stayed. +017:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +017:002 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, + one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according + to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write you every man's + name on his rod. +017:003 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there + shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses. +017:004 You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, + where I meet with you. +017:005 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose + shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings + of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. +017:006 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes + gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' + houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was + among their rods. +017:007 Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony. +017:008 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent + of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house + of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, + and bore ripe almonds. +017:009 Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all + the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every + man his rod. +017:010 Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, + to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; + that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, + that they not die. +017:011 Thus did Moses: as Yahweh commanded him, so did he. +017:012 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, + we are undone, we are all undone. +017:013 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: + shall we perish all of us? +018:001 Yahweh said to Aaron, You and your sons and your fathers' + house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; + and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity + of your priesthood. +018:002 Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, + bring you near with you, that they may be joined to you, + and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall + be before the tent of the testimony. +018:003 They shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the Tent: + only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary + and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you. +018:004 They shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of + the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: + and a stranger shall not come near to you. +018:005 You shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of + the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel. +018:006 I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among + the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, + to do the service of the tent of meeting. +018:007 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for + everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you + shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: + and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death. +018:008 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, I, behold, I have given you the charge + of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children + of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, + and to your sons, as a portion forever. +018:009 This shall be your of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: + every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, + and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering + of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy + for you and for your sons. +018:010 As the most holy things shall you eat of it; every male shall + eat of it: it shall be holy to you. +018:011 This is your: the wave offering of their gift, even all + the wave offerings of the children of Israel; I have given + them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, + as a portion forever; everyone who is clean in your house + shall eat of it. +018:012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, + and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give + to Yahweh, to you have I given them. +018:013 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they + bring to Yahweh, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your + house shall eat of it. +018:014 Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours. +018:015 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they + offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal shall be yours: + nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, + and the firstborn of unclean animals shall you redeem. +018:016 Those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall + you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money + of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary + (the same is twenty gerahs). +018:017 But the firstborn of a cow, 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 + burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet + savor to Yahweh. +018:018 The flesh of them shall be your, as the wave offering breast + and as the right thigh, it shall be yours. +018:019 All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children + of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your + sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: + it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to + your seed with you. +018:020 Yahweh said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, + neither shall you have any portion among them: I am your + portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel. +018:021 To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe + in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service + which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. +018:022 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the tent + of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. +018:023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, + and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute + forever throughout your generations; and among the children + of Israel they shall have no inheritance. +018:024 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave + offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: + therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel + they shall have no inheritance. +018:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +018:026 Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, + When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I + have given you from them for your inheritance, then you + shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe + of the tithe. +018:027 Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it + were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness + of the winepress. +018:028 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all + your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; + and of it you shall give Yahweh's wave offering to Aaron the priest. +018:029 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering + of Yahweh, of all the best of it, even the holy part of it + out of it. +018:030 Therefore you shall tell them, When you heave the best of it + from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase + of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress. +018:031 You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: + for it is your reward in return for your service in the + tent of meeting. +018:032 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved + from it the best of it: and you shall not profane the holy + things of the children of Israel, that you not die. +019:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, +019:002 This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded, + saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring + you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, + [and] on which never came yoke. +019:003 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring + her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her + before his face: +019:004 and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, + and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of + meeting seven times. +019:005 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, + and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: +019:006 and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, + and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. +019:007 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe + his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, + and the priest shall be unclean until the even. +019:008 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe + his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. +019:009 A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, + and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; + and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children + of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin offering. +019:010 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, + and be unclean until the even: and it shall be to the children + of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner + among them, for a statute forever. +019:011 He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days: +019:012 the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, + and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't + purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall + not be clean. +019:013 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, + and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tent of Yahweh; + and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water + for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; + his uncleanness is yet on him. +019:014 This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes + into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be + unclean seven days. +019:015 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean. +019:016 Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, + or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be + unclean seven days. +019:017 For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning + of the sin offering; and running water shall be put thereto + in a vessel: +019:018 and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, + and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on + the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, + or the slain, or the dead, or the grave: +019:019 and 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; + and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, + and shall be clean at even. +019:020 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, + that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, + because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh: + the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; + he is unclean. +019:021 It shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles + the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who + touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until even. +019:022 Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; + and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even. +020:001 The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, + came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: + and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, + and was buried there. +020:002 There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled + themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. +020:003 The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we + had died when our brothers died before Yahweh! +020:004 Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh into this wilderness, + that we should die there, we and our animals? +020:005 Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us + in to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, + or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any + water to drink. +020:006 Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to + the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces: + and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them. +020:007 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +020:008 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron + your brother, and speak you to the rock before their eyes, + that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them + water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation + and their livestock drink. +020:009 Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him. +020:010 Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, + and he said to them, Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring + you forth water out of this rock? +020:011 Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: + and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, + and their livestock. +020:012 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, Because you didn't believe + in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, + therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land + which I have given them. +020:013 These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel + strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them. +020:014 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says + your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has + happened to us: +020:015 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in + Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, + and our fathers: +020:016 and when we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent + an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and behold, + we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border. +020:017 Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass + through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of + the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; + we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, + until we have passed your border. +020:018 Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, lest I come + out with the sword against you. +020:019 The children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway; + and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then will I give + the price of it: let me only, without [doing] anything [else], + pass through on my feet. +020:020 He said, You shall not pass through. Edom came out against him + with much people, and with a strong hand. +020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: + why Israel turned away from him. +020:022 They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, + even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor. +020:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border + of the land of Edom, saying, +020:024 Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter + into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, + because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. +020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor; +020:026 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son: + and Aaron shall be gathered [to his people], and shall die there. +020:027 Moses did as Yahweh commanded: and they went up into Mount Hor + in the sight of all the congregation. +020:028 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar + his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain: + and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. +020:029 When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept + for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. +021:001 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, + heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; + and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. +021:002 Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, If you will indeed + deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly + destroy their cities. +021:003 Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up + the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: + and the name of the place was called Hormah. +021:004 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea + of Reeds}, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul + of the people was much discouraged because of the way. +021:005 The people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you + brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there + is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes + this light bread. +021:006 Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; + and much people of Israel died. +021:007 The people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, + because we have spoken against Yahweh, and against you; + pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. + Moses prayed for the people. +021:008 Yahweh said to Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it on + a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, + when he sees it, shall live. +021:009 Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: + and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, + when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived. +021:010 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth. +021:011 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, + in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise. +021:012 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered. +021:013 From there they traveled, and encamped 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. +021:014 Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yahweh, "Vaheb + in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon, +021:015 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, + leans on the border of Moab." +021:016 From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of + which Yahweh said to Moses, Gather the people together, + and I will give them water. +021:017 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it: +021:018 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of + the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles." + From the wilderness [they traveled] to Mattanah; +021:019 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; +021:020 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, + to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert. +021:021 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, +021:022 Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, + or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: + we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border. +021:023 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: + but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out + against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; + and he fought against Israel. +021:024 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his + land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; + for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. +021:025 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities + of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns of it. +021:026 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, + who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken + all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon. +021:027 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. + Let the city of Sihon be built and established; +021:028 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. + It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places + of the Arnon. +021:029 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has + given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, + to Sihon king of the Amorites. +021:030 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. + We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba." +021:031 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. +021:032 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns of it, + and drove out the Amorites who were there. +021:033 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king + of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, + to battle at Edrei. +021:034 Yahweh said to Moses, Don't fear him: for I have delivered + him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; + and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, + who lived at Heshbon. +021:035 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there + was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land. +022:001 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains + of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. +022:002 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done + to the Amorites. +022:003 Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: + and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. +022:004 Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick + up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass + of the field. Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab + at that time. +022:005 He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, + which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, + to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out + from Egypt: behold, they cover the surface of the earth, + and they abide over against me. +022:006 Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are + too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we + may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; + for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom + you curse is cursed. +022:007 The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the + rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, + and spoke to him the words of Balak. +022:008 He said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you + word again, as Yahweh shall speak to me: and the princes + of Moab abode with Balaam. +022:009 God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you? +022:010 Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, + has sent to me, [saying], +022:011 Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covers + the surface of the earth: now, come curse me them; + peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall + drive them out. +022:012 God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall + not curse the people; for they are blessed. +022:013 Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes + of Balak, Get you into your land; for Yahweh refuses to give + me leave to go with you. +022:014 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, + Balaam refuses to come with us. +022:015 Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. +022:016 They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son + of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me: +022:017 for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you + say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this + people for me. +022:018 Balaam answered the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me + his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word + of Yahweh my God, to do less or more. +022:019 Now therefore, please wait also here this night, that I may + know what Yahweh will speak to me more. +022:020 God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men are + come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word + which I speak to you, that shall you do. +022:021 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, + and went with the princes of Moab. +022:022 God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Yahweh + placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. + Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants + were with him. +022:023 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, + with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey + turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: + and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way. +022:024 Then the angel of Yahweh stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, + a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. +022:025 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she thrust herself + to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: + and he struck her again. +022:026 The angel of Yahweh went further, and stood in a narrow place, + where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. +022:027 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she lay down under Balaam: + and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey + with his staff. +022:028 Yahweh 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? +022:029 Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, I would + there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed you. +022:030 The donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you + have ridden all your life long to this day? was I ever wont + to do so to you? and he said, No. +022:031 Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel + of Yahweh standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; + and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. +022:032 The angel of Yahweh said to him, Why have you struck your donkey + these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, + because your way is perverse before me: +022:033 and the donkey saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: + unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even + slain you, and saved her alive. +022:034 Balaam said to the angel of Yahweh, I have sinned; + for I didn't know that you stood in the way against me: + now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again. +022:035 The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, Go with the men; but only + the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. + So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. +022:036 When Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him + to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, + which is in the utmost part of the border. +022:037 Balak said to Balaam, Didn't I earnestly send to you to call + you? why didn't you come to me? am I not able indeed to promote + you to honor? +022:038 Balaam said to Balak, Behold, I have come to you: + have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word + that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. +022:039 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth. +022:040 Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, + and to the princes who were with him. +022:041 It happened in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought + him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there + the utmost part of the people. +023:001 Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare + me here seven bulls and seven rams. +023:002 Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered + on every altar a bull and a ram. +023:003 Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: + perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows + me I will tell you. He went to a bare height. +023:004 God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, + and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar. +023:005 Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, + and thus you shall speak. +023:006 He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his + burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. +023:007 He took up his parable, and said, From Aram has Balak brought me, + The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse + me Jacob, Come, defy Israel. +023:008 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy, + whom Yahweh has not defied? +023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, From the hills I see him: + behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be + reckoned among the nations. +023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth + part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, + Let my last end be like his! +023:011 Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? + I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have + blessed them altogether. +023:012 He answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which + Yahweh puts in my mouth? +023:013 Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place, + from whence you may see them; you shall see but the utmost + part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me + them from there. +023:014 He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, + and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram + on every altar. +023:015 He said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I + meet [Yahweh] yonder. +023:016 Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, + Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak. +023:017 He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, + and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, + What has Yahweh spoken? +023:018 He took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! + Listen to me, you son of Zippor. +023:019 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, + that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? + Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good? +023:020 Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, + and I can't reverse it. +023:021 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen + perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. + The shout of a king is among them. +023:022 God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength + of the wild ox. +023:023 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there + any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob + and of Israel, What has God done! +023:024 Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion he lifts + himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, + and drinks the blood of the slain. +023:025 Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless + them at all. +023:026 But Balaam answered Balak, Didn't I tell you, saying, All that + Yahweh speaks, that I must do? +023:027 Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; + peradventure it will please God that you may curse me + them from there. +023:028 Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down + on the desert. +023:029 Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare + me here seven bulls and seven rams. +023:030 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram + on every altar. +024:001 When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, + he didn't go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, + but he set his face toward the wilderness. +024:002 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according + to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him. +024:003 He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, + the man whose eye was closed says; +024:004 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision + of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open: +024:005 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel! +024:006 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, + as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters. +024:007 Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be + in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. + His kingdom shall be exalted. +024:008 God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength + of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, + shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows. +024:009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall + rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. + Everyone who curses you is cursed. +024:010 Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck + his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you + to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed + them these three times. +024:011 Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote + you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you + back from honor. +024:012 Balaam said to Balak, Didn't I also tell your messengers + who you sent to me, saying, +024:013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, + I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad + of my own mind; what Yahweh speaks, that will I speak? +024:014 Now, behold, I go to my people: come, [and] I will advertise you + what this people shall do to your people in the latter days. +024:015 He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, + the man whose eye was closed says; +024:016 he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the + Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, + and having his eyes open: +024:017 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. + A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out + of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, + and break down all the sons of Sheth. +024:018 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall + be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. +024:019 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy + the remnant from the city. +024:020 He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, + Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall + come to destruction. +024:021 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, + Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock. +024:022 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries + you away captive. +024:023 He took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when + God does this? +024:024 But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim. + They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. + He also shall come to destruction. +024:025 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak + also went his way. +025:001 Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play + the prostitute with the daughters of Moab: +025:002 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; + and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. +025:003 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh + was kindled against Israel. +025:004 Yahweh said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, + and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce + anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel. +025:005 Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill you everyone his men + who have joined themselves to Baal Peor. +025:006 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his + brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in + the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, + while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. +025:007 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, + saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, + and took a spear in his hand; +025:008 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, + and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, + and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed + from the children of Israel. +025:009 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. +025:010 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +025:011 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, + has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, + in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I + didn't consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. +025:012 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace: +025:013 and it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant + of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, + and made atonement for the children of Israel. +025:014 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was + slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, + a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites. +025:015 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, + the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' + house in Midian. +025:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +025:017 Vex the Midianites, and strike them; +025:018 for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have deceived + you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, + the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was + slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor. +026:001 It happened after the plague, that Yahweh spoke to Moses + and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, +026:002 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, + from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' + houses, all who are able to go forth to war in Israel. +026:003 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains + of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, +026:004 [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward; + as Yahweh commanded Moses and the children of Israel, + that came forth out of the land of Egypt. +026:005 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: + [of] Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, + the family of the Palluites; +026:006 of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family + of the Carmites. +026:007 These are the families of the Reubenites; and those who were + numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty. +026:008 The sons of Pallu: Eliab. +026:009 The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are + that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of the congregation, + who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company + of Korah, when they strove against Yahweh, +026:010 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together + with Korah, when that company died; what time the fire devoured + two hundred fifty men, and they became a sign. +026:011 Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah didn't die. +026:012 The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family + of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; + of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; +026:013 of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the family + of the Shaulites. +026:014 These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand + two hundred. +026:015 The sons of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family + of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; + of Shuni, the family of the Shunites; +026:016 of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family + of the Erites; +026:017 of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family + of the Arelites. +026:018 These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those + who were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred. +026:019 The sons of Judah: Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in + the land of Canaan. +026:020 The sons of Judah after their families were: of Shelah, + the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Perezites; + of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites. +026:021 The sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; + of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. +026:022 These are the families of Judah according to those who were + numbered of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred. +026:023 The sons of Issachar after their families: [of] Tola, + the family of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the family of the Punites; +026:024 of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family + of the Shimronites. +026:025 These are the families of Issachar according to those who were + numbered of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred. +026:026 The sons of Zebulun after their families: of Sered, the family + of the Seredites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; + of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. +026:027 These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those + who were numbered of them, sixty thousand five hundred. +026:028 The sons of Joseph after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. +026:029 The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; + and Machir became the father of Gilead; of Gilead, the family + of the Gileadites. +026:030 These are the sons of Gilead: [of] Iezer, the family of + the Iezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites; +026:031 and [of] Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and [of] Shechem, + the family of the Shechemites; +026:032 and [of] Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and [of] Hepher, + the family of the Hepherites. +026:033 Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: + and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, + and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. +026:034 These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered + of them were fifty-two thousand seven hundred. +026:035 These are the sons of Ephraim after their families: + of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, + the family of the Becherites; of Tahan, the family + of the Tahanites. +026:036 These are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family + of the Eranites. +026:037 These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those + who were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand five hundred. + These are the sons of Joseph after their families. +026:038 The sons of Benjamin after their families: of Bela, the family + of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; + of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; +026:039 of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, + the family of the Huphamites. +026:040 The sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: [of Ard], the family + of the Ardites; of Naaman, the family of the Naamites. +026:041 These are the sons of Benjamin after their families; + and those who were numbered of them were forty-five + thousand six hundred. +026:042 These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, + the family of the Shuhamites.

Give to us a possession + among the brothers of our father. +027:005 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh. +027:006 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give + them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; + and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to + pass to them. +027:008 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, + and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass + to his daughter. +027:009 If he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance + to his brothers. +027:010 If he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance + to his father's brothers. +027:011 If his father have no brothers, then you shall give his + inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, + and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children + of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses. +027:012 Yahweh said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim, + and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. +027:013 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, + as Aaron your brother was gathered; +027:014 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, + in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters + before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh + in the wilderness of Zin.) +027:015 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying, +027:016 Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man + over the congregation, +027:017 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, + and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; + that the congregation of Yahweh not be as sheep which + have no shepherd. +027:018 Yahweh said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom + is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; +027:019 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all + the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. +027:020 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation + of the children of Israel may obey. +027:021 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire + for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh: + at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall + come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, + even all the congregation. +027:022 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set + him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: +027:023 and he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as Yahweh + spoke by Moses. +028:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +028:002 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, My offering, + my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor to me, + shall you observe to offer to me in their due season. +028:003 You shall tell them, This is the offering made by fire which you + shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without blemish, + two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. +028:004 The one lamb shall you offer in the morning, and the other lamb + shall you offer at even; +028:005 and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, + mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. +028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai + for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. +028:007 The drink offering of it shall be the fourth part of a hin + for the one lamb: in the holy place shall you pour out a drink + offering of strong drink to Yahweh. +028:008 The other lamb shall you offer at even: as the meal offering + of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall + offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. +028:009 On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, + and two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering, + mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it: +028:010 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual + burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. +028:011 In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt + offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male + lambs a year old without blemish; +028:012 and three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a + meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth + parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, + for the one ram; +028:013 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal + offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, + an offering made by fire to Yahweh. +028:014 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, + and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part + of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every + month throughout the months of the year. +028:015 One male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh; it shall be + offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink + offering of it. +028:016 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, + is Yahweh's Passover. +028:017 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: + seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. +028:018 In the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall + do no servile work;

he shall + do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. +030:003 Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself + by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, +030:004 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she + has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; + then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she + has bound her soul shall stand. +030:005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, + none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound + her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, + because her father disallowed her. +030:006 If she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, + or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has + bound her soul, +030:007 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day + that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds + with which she has bound her soul shall stand. +030:008 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, + then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash + utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: + and Yahweh will forgive her. +030:009 But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, + [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, + shall stand against her. +030:010 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond + with an oath, +030:011 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, + and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, + and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. +030:012 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he + heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning + her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: + her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her. +030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, + her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. +030:014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day + to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, + which are on her: he has established them, because he held + his peace at her in the day that he heard them. +030:015 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has + heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. +030:016 These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, + between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, + being in her youth, in her father's house. +031:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: + afterward you shall be gathered to your people. +031:003 Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm you men from among you + for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute + Yahweh's vengeance on Midian. +031:004 Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, + shall you send to the war. +031:005 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, + a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. +031:006 Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, + them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, + with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm + in his hand. +031:007 They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; + and they killed every male. +031:008 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: + Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five + kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed + with the sword. +031:009 The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their + little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, + and all their goods, they took for a prey. +031:010 All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all + their encampments, they burnt with fire. +031:011 They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man + and of animal. +031:012 They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, + to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation + of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, + which are by the Jordan at Jericho. +031:013 Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of + the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp. +031:014 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains + of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from + the service of the war. +031:015 Moses said to them, Have you saved all the women alive? +031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel + of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, + and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh. +031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill + every woman who has known man by lying with him. +031:018 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, + keep alive for yourselves. +031:019 Encamp you outside of the camp seven days: whoever has + killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, + purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, + you and your captives. +031:020 As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, + and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, + you shall purify yourselves. +031:021 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, + This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses: +031:022 however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, + and the lead, +031:023 everything that may abide the fire, you shall make to go + through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it + shall be purified with the water for impurity: + and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go + through the water. +031:024 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall + be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp. +031:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, + you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' + [houses] of the congregation; +031:027 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled + in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation. +031:028 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: + one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, + and of the donkeys, and of the flocks: +031:029 take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, + for Yahweh's wave offering. +031:030 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out + of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys, + and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them + to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh. +031:031 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses. +031:032 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, + was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, +031:033 and seventy-two thousand oxen, +031:034 and sixty-one thousand donkeys, +031:035 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had + not known man by lying with him. +031:036 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, + was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand + five hundred sheep: +031:037 and Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five. +031:038 The oxen were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh's + tribute was seventy-two. +031:039 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh's + tribute was sixty-one. +031:040 The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh's tribute + was thirty-two persons. +031:041 Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh's wave offering, + to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses. +031:042 Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off + from the men who warred +031:043 (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven + thousand five hundred sheep, +031:044 and thirty-six thousand oxen, +031:045 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, +031:046 and sixteen thousand persons), +031:047 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn + out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them + to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tent of Yahweh; + as Yahweh commanded Moses. +031:048 The officers who were over the thousands of the army, + the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, + came near to Moses; +031:049 and they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum + of the men of war who are under our charge, and there lacks + not one man of us. +031:050 We have brought Yahweh's offering, what every man has gotten, + of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, + and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh. +031:051 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, + even all worked jewels. +031:052 All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, + of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, + was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels. +031:053 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.) +031:054 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of + thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, + for a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh. +032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had + a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw + the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, + the place was a place for livestock; +032:002 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke + to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes + of the congregation, saying, +032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, + and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, +032:004 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, + is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock. +032:005 They said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land + be given to your servants for a possession; don't bring us + over the Jordan. +032:006 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children + of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall + you sit here? +032:007 Why discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from + going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? +032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea + to see the land. +032:009 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, + they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they + should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. +032:010 Yahweh's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying, +032:011 Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years + old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, + to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: +032:012 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua + the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed Yahweh. +032:013 Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made + them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, + until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight + of Yahweh, was consumed. +032:014 Behold, you are risen up in your fathers' place, an increase + of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of + Yahweh toward Israel. +032:015 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave + them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people. +032:016 They came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds + here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones: +032:017 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children + of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: + and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities + because of the inhabitants of the land. +032:018 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel + have inherited every man his inheritance. +032:019 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, + and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this + side of the Jordan eastward. +032:020 Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will arm + yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, +032:021 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, + until he has driven out his enemies from before him, +032:022 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you + shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; + and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh. +032:023 But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; + and be sure your sin will find you out. +032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; + and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth. +032:025 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, + saying, Your servants will do as my lord commands. +032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, + shall be there in the cities of Gilead; +032:027 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, + before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says. +032:028 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, + and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' + [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel. +032:029 Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children + of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man + who is armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land shall + be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land + of Gilead for a possession: +032:030 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall + have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. +032:031 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, + As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. +032:032 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, + and the possession of our inheritance [shall remain] with us + beyond the Jordan. +032:033 Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children + of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, + the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom + of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities of it + with [their] borders, even the cities of the land round about. +032:034 The children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, +032:035 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, +032:036 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, + and folds for sheep. +032:037 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, +032:038 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: + and they gave other names to the cities which they built. +032:039 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, + and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. +032:040 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; + and he lived therein. +032:041 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns of it, + and called them Havvoth Jair. +032:042 Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called + it Nobah, after his own name. +033:001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they + went forth out of the land of Egypt by their armies under + the hand of Moses and Aaron. +033:002 Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys + by the commandment of Yahweh: and these are their journeys + according to their goings out. +033:003 They traveled from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth + day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover + the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight + of all the Egyptians, +033:004 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, + whom Yahweh had struck among them: on their gods also + Yahweh executed judgments. +033:005 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses, and encamped + in Succoth. +033:006 They traveled from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is + in the edge of the wilderness. +033:007 They traveled from Etham, and turned back to Pihahiroth, + which is before Baal Zephon: and they encamped before Migdol. +033:008 They traveled from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst + of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' + journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. +033:009 They traveled from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim + were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees; + and they encamped there. +033:010 They traveled from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea{or, Sea of + Reeds}. +033:011 They traveled from the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, and encamped + in the wilderness of Sin. +033:012 They traveled from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. +033:013 They traveled from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. +033:014 They traveled from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was + no water for the people to drink. +033:015 They traveled from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. +033:016 They traveled from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped + in Kibroth Hattaavah. +033:017 They traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. +033:018 They traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. +033:019 They traveled from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon Perez. +033:020 They traveled from Rimmon Perez, and encamped in Libnah. +033:021 They traveled from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. +033:022 They traveled from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. +033:023 They traveled from Kehelathah, and encamped in Mount Shepher. +033:024 They traveled from Mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. +033:025 They traveled from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. +033:026 They traveled from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. +033:027 They traveled from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. +033:028 They traveled from Terah, and encamped in Mithkah. +033:029 They traveled from Mithkah, and encamped in Hashmonah. +033:030 They traveled from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. +033:031 They traveled from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene Jaakan. +033:032 They traveled from Bene Jaakan, and encamped in Hor Haggidgad. +033:033 They traveled from Hor Haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. +033:034 They traveled from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. +033:035 They traveled from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion Geber. +033:036 They traveled from Ezion Geber, and encamped in the wilderness + of Zin (the same is Kadesh). +033:037 They traveled from Kadesh, and encamped in Mount Hor, + in the edge of the land of Edom. +033:038 Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor at the commandment + of Yahweh, and died there, in the fortieth year after + the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, + in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. +033:039 Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died + in Mount Hor. +033:040 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land + of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. +033:041 They traveled from Mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. +033:042 They traveled from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. +033:043 They traveled from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. +033:044 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped in Iye Abarim, + in the border of Moab. +033:045 They traveled from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon Gad. +033:046 They traveled from Dibon Gad, and encamped in Almon Diblathaim. +033:047 They traveled from Almon Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains + of Abarim, before Nebo. +033:048 They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped + in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. +033:049 They encamped by the Jordan, from Beth Jeshimoth even to + Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab. +033:050 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan + at Jericho, saying, +033:051 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass + over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, +033:052 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land + from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], + and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all + their high places: +033:053 and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; + for to you have I given the land to possess it. +033:054 You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; + to the more you shall give the more inheritance, + and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: + wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; + according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit. +033:055 But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land + from before you, then shall those who you let remain of them + be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, + and they shall vex you in the land in which you dwell. +033:056 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I + do to you. +034:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +034:002 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come + into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall + to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according + to the borders of it), +034:003 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin + along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be + from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; +034:004 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent + of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it + shall be southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth + to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon; +034:005 and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, + and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. +034:006 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and + the border [of it]: this shall be your west border. +034:007 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall + mark out for you Mount Hor; +034:008 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; + and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; +034:009 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it + shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border. +034:010 You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; +034:011 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, + on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, + and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; +034:012 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings + out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land + according to the borders of it round about. +034:013 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land + which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded + to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; +034:014 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' + houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according + to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe + of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: +034:015 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance + beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise. +034:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +034:017 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land + to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua + the son of Nun. +034:018 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide + the land for inheritance. +034:019 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the + son of Jephunneh. +034:020 Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. +034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. +034:022 Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the + son of Jogli. +034:023 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children + of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod. +034:024 Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the + son of Shiphtan. +034:025 Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the + son of Parnach. +034:026 Of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, + Paltiel the son of Azzan. +034:027 Of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the + son of Shelomi. +034:028 Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, + Pedahel the son of Ammihud. +034:029 These are they whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance + to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. +035:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan + at Jericho, saying, +035:002 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites + of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; + and suburbs for the cities round about them shall you give + to the Levites. +035:003 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs + shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, + and for all their animals. +035:004 The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, + shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand + cubits round about. +035:005 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two + thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, + and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north + side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. + This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. +035:006 The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six + cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: + and besides them you shall give forty-two cities. +035:007 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be + forty-eight cities; them [shall you give] with their suburbs. +035:008 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession + of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; + and from the few you shall take few: everyone according + to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities + to the Levites. +035:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, +035:010 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass + over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, +035:011 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge + for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly + may flee there. +035:012 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, + that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the + congregation for judgment. +035:013 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six + cities of refuge. +035:014 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three + cities shall you give in the land of Canaan; they shall + be cities of refuge. +035:015 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner + living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; + that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. +035:016 But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, + he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. +035:017 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, + and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely + be put to death. +035:018 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, + by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: + the murderer shall surely be put to death. +035:019 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: + when he meets him, he shall put him to death. +035:020 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, + so that he died, +035:021 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; + he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: + the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, + when he meets him. +035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him + anything without lying in wait, +035:023 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, + and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, + neither sought his harm; +035:024 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and + the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; +035:025 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of + the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall + restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: + and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, + who was anointed with the holy oil. +035:026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border + of his city of refuge, where he flees, +035:027 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his + city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; + he shall not be guilty of blood, +035:028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge + until the death of the high priest: but after the death + of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land + of his possession. +035:029 These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you + throughout your generations in all your dwellings. +035:030 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at + the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify + against any person that he die. +035:031 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer + who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. +035:032 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city + of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, + until the death of the priest. +035:033 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: + for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can + be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, + but by the blood of him who shed it. +035:034 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst + of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of + the children of Israel. +036:001 The heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the + children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, + of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke + before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' + [houses] of the children of Israel: +036:002 and they said, Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land + for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: + and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance + of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. +036:003 If they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes + of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken + away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added + to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: + so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. +036:004 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will + their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe + whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be + taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. +036:005 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word + of Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right. +036:006 This is the thing which Yahweh does command concerning + the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married + to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe + of their father shall they be married. +036:007 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove + from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave + everyone to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. +036:008 Every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe + of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family + of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may + possess every man the inheritance of his fathers. +036:009 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; + for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave everyone + to his own inheritance. +036:010 Even as Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: +036:011 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters + of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons. +036:012 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh + the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe + of the family of their father. +036:013 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh + commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains + of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): NUMBERS *** + +This file should be named 8231.txt or 8231.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance +of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing. +Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, +even years after the official publication date. + +Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til +midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. +The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at +Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A +preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment +and editing by those who wish to do so. + +Most people start at our Web sites at: +https://gutenberg.org or +http://promo.net/pg + +These Web sites include award-winning information about Project +Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new +eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!). + + +Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement +can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is +also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the +indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an +announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter. + +http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext05 or +ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext05 + +Or /etext04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, +91 or 90 + +Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, +as it appears in our Newsletters. + + +Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) + +We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The +time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours +to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright +searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our +projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text +files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ +We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks! +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
