³⁸^C But those that encamp²⁵⁸³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ toward the east,⁶⁹²⁴ even before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ eastward,⁴²¹⁷ shall be Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ and his sons,¹¹²¹ keeping⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ for the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and the stranger²¹¹⁴ that cometh nigh⁷¹³¹ shall be put to death.

³⁹ All that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ at the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ all the males²¹⁴⁵ from a month²³²⁰ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ were twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand.

⁴⁰ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Number⁶⁴⁸⁵ all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of the males²¹⁴⁵ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from a month²³²⁰ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ and take⁵³⁷⁵ the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of their names.

⁴¹^C And thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ for me (I am the Lord)³⁰⁶⁸ instead of all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ among the children¹¹²¹ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and the cattle⁹²⁹ of the Levites³⁸⁸¹ instead of all the firstlings¹⁰⁶⁰ among the cattle⁹²⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁴² And Moses⁴⁸⁷² numbered,⁶⁴⁸⁵ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him, all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ among the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁴³ And all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ males²¹⁴⁵ by the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of names,⁸⁰³⁴ from a month²³²⁰ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ of those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them, were twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore and thirteen.⁷⁶⁵⁷

⁴⁴ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

⁴⁵^C Take³⁹⁴⁷ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ instead of all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ among the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and the cattle⁹²⁹ of the Levites³⁸⁸¹ instead of their cattle;⁹²⁹ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall be mine: I am the Lord.

⁴⁶ And for those that are to be redeemed⁶³⁰² of the two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore and thirteen⁷⁶⁵⁷⁷⁹⁶⁹ of the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which are more⁵⁷³⁶ than⁵⁹²¹ the Levites;

⁴⁷^C Thou shalt even take³⁹⁴⁷ five²⁵⁶⁸ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ apiece by the poll,¹⁵³⁸ after the shekel⁸²⁵⁵ of the sanctuary⁶⁹⁴⁴ shalt thou take³⁹⁴⁷ them: (the shekel⁸²⁵⁵ is twenty⁶²⁴² gerahs:)

⁴⁸ And thou shalt give⁵⁴¹⁴ the money,³⁷⁰¹ wherewith the odd number⁵⁷³⁶ of them is to be redeemed,⁶³⁰² unto Aaron¹⁷⁵ and to his sons.

⁴⁹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ the redemption⁶³⁰⁶ money³⁷⁰¹ of them that were over⁵⁷³⁶ and above them that were redeemed⁶³⁰² by the Levites:

⁵⁰ Of the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ he the money;³⁷⁰¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and five²⁵⁶⁸ shekels, after the shekel⁸²⁵⁵ of the sanctuary:

⁵¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the money³⁷⁰¹ of them that were redeemed⁶³⁰²⁶³⁰⁶ unto Aaron¹⁷⁵ and to his sons,¹¹²¹ according to the word⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

4And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,

²^C Take⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Kohath⁶⁹⁵⁵ from among⁸⁴³² the sons¹¹²¹ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ after their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,

³^C From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even until fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ all that enter⁹³⁵ into the host,⁶⁶³⁵ to do⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

⁴ This shall be the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Kohath⁶⁹⁵⁵ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ about the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy things:

⁵^C And when the camp⁴²⁶⁴ setteth forward,⁵²⁶⁵ Aaron¹⁷⁵ shall come,⁹³⁵ and his sons,¹¹²¹ and they shall take down³³⁸¹ the covering⁴⁵³⁹ vail,⁶⁵³² and cover³⁶⁸⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ of testimony

⁶^C And shall put⁵⁴¹⁴ thereon the covering³⁶⁸¹ of badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and shall spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ over⁴⁶⁰⁵ it a cloth⁸⁹⁹ wholly³⁶³² of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and shall put⁷⁷⁶⁰ in the staves

⁷^C And upon the table⁷⁹⁷⁹ of shewbread⁶⁴⁴⁰ they shall spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ a cloth⁸⁹⁹ of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ thereon the dishes,⁷⁰⁸⁶ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and the bowls,⁴⁵¹⁸ and covers⁷¹⁸⁴ to cover withal:⁵²⁶² and the continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ bread

⁸^C And they shall spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ upon them a cloth⁸⁹⁹ of scarlet,⁸⁴³⁸⁸¹⁴⁴ and cover³⁶⁸⁰ the same with a covering⁴³⁷² of badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and shall put⁷⁷⁶⁰ in the staves

⁹^C And they shall take³⁹⁴⁷ a cloth⁸⁹⁹ of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and cover³⁶⁸⁰ the candlestick⁴⁵⁰¹ of the light,³⁹⁷⁴ and his lamps,⁵²¹⁶ and his tongs,⁴⁴⁵⁷ and his snuffdishes,⁴²⁸⁹ and all the oil⁸⁰⁸¹ vessels³⁶²⁷ thereof, wherewith they minister

¹⁰ And they shall put⁵⁴¹⁴ it and all the vessels³⁶²⁷ thereof within a covering⁴³⁷² of badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and shall put⁵⁴¹⁴ it upon a bar.

¹¹^C And upon the golden²⁰⁹¹ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ they shall spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ a cloth⁸⁹⁹ of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and cover³⁶⁸⁰ it with a covering⁴³⁷² of badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and shall put⁷⁷⁶⁰ to the staves

¹² And they shall take³⁹⁴⁷ all the instruments³⁶²⁷ of ministry,⁸³³⁵ wherewith they minister⁸³³⁴ in the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in a cloth⁸⁹⁹ of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and cover³⁶⁸⁰ them with a covering⁴³⁷² of badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and shall put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on a bar:

¹³^C And they shall take away the ashes¹⁸⁷⁸ from the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ a purple⁷¹³ cloth

¹⁵^C And when Aaron¹⁷⁵ and his sons¹¹²¹ have made an end³⁶¹⁵ of covering³⁶⁸⁰ the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and all the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ as the camp⁴²⁶⁴ is to set forward;⁵²⁶⁵ after³¹⁰ that, the sons¹¹²¹ of Kohath⁶⁹⁵⁵ shall come⁹³⁵ to bear⁵³⁷⁵ it: but they shall not touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ any holy thing,⁶⁹⁴⁴ lest they die.⁴¹⁹¹ These things are the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Kohath⁶⁹⁵⁵ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

¹⁶ And to the office⁶⁴⁸⁶ of Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ pertaineth the oil⁸⁰⁸¹ for the light,³⁹⁷⁴ and the sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and the daily⁸⁵⁴⁸ meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ and the anointing⁴⁸⁸⁸ oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and the oversight⁶⁴⁸⁶ of all the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and in the vessels

¹⁷ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,

¹⁸ Cut ye not off³⁷⁷² the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Kohathites⁶⁹⁵⁶ from among⁸⁴³² the Levites:

¹⁹ But thus do⁶²¹³ unto them, that they may live,²⁴²¹ and not die,⁴¹⁹¹ when they approach⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy things:⁶⁹⁴⁴ Aaron¹⁷⁵ and his sons¹¹²¹ shall go in,⁹³⁵ and appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ them every³⁷⁶ one³⁷⁶ to his service⁵⁶⁵⁶ and to his burden:

²⁰^C But they shall not go in⁹³⁵ to see⁷²⁰⁰ when the holy things⁶⁹⁴⁴ are covered,¹¹⁰⁴ lest they die.

²¹ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²²^C Take⁵³⁷⁵ also the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershon,¹⁶⁴⁸ throughout the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ by their families;

²³ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ until fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ shalt thou number⁶⁴⁸⁵ them; all that enter in⁹³⁵ to perform⁶⁶³³ the service,⁶⁶³⁵ to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the work⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

²⁴ This is the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Gershonites,¹⁶⁴⁹ to serve,⁵⁶⁴⁷ and for burdens:

²⁵^C And they shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ the curtains³⁴⁰⁷ of the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ and the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ his covering,⁴³⁷² and the covering⁴³⁷² of the badgers'⁸⁴⁷⁶ skins that is above⁴⁶⁰⁵ upon it, and the hanging⁴⁵³⁹ for the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,

²⁶^C And the hangings⁷⁰⁵⁰ of the court,²⁶⁹¹ and the hanging⁴⁵³⁹ for the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the court,²⁶⁹¹ which is by the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ and by the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ and their cords,⁴³⁴⁰ and all the instruments³⁶²⁷ of their service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and all that is made⁶²¹³ for them: so shall they serve.

²⁷ At the appointment⁶³¹⁰ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ and his sons¹¹²¹ shall be all the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the sons¹¹²¹ of the Gershonites,¹⁶⁴⁹ in all their burdens,⁴⁸⁵³ and in all their service:⁵⁶⁵⁶ and ye shall appoint⁶⁴⁸⁵ unto them in charge⁴⁹³¹ all their burdens.

²⁸ This is the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershon¹⁶⁴⁹ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and their charge⁴⁹³¹ shall be under the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ithamar³⁸⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest.

²⁹^C As for the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari,⁴⁸⁴⁷ thou shalt number⁶⁴⁸⁵ them after their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers;

³⁰ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ shalt thou number⁶⁴⁸⁵ them, every one that entereth⁹³⁵ into the service,⁶⁶³⁵ to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the work⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

³¹ And this is the charge⁴⁹³¹ of their burden,⁴⁸⁵³ according to all their service⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation;⁴¹⁵⁰ the boards⁷¹⁷⁵ of the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ and the bars¹²⁸⁰ thereof, and the pillars⁵⁹⁸² thereof, and sockets

³² And the pillars⁵⁹⁸² of the court²⁶⁹¹ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ and their sockets,¹³⁴ and their pins,³⁴⁸⁹ and their cords,⁴³⁴⁰ with all their instruments,³⁶²⁷ and with all their service:⁵⁶⁵⁶ and by name⁸⁰³⁴ ye shall reckon⁶⁴⁸⁵ the instruments³⁶²⁷ of the charge⁴⁹³¹ of their burden.

³³ This is the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari,⁴⁸⁴⁷ according to all their service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ under the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ithamar³⁸⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest.

³⁴ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ and the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation⁵⁷¹² numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ the sons¹¹²¹ of the Kohathites⁶⁹⁵⁶ after their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ and after the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,

³⁵ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ every one that entereth⁹³⁵ into the service,⁶⁶³⁵ for the work⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:

³⁶^C And those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them by their families⁴⁹⁴⁰ were two thousand⁵⁰⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty.

³⁷ These were they that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Kohathites,⁶⁹⁵⁶ all that might do service⁵⁶⁴⁷ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ did number⁶⁴⁸⁵ according to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

³⁸ And those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershon,¹⁶⁴⁸ throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ and by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,

³⁹ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ every one that entereth⁹³⁵ into the service,⁶⁶³⁵ for the work⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,

⁴⁰ Even those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them, throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ were two thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and thirty.

⁴¹ These are they that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershon,¹⁶⁴⁸ of all that might do service⁵⁶⁴⁷ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ whom Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ did number⁶⁴⁸⁵ according to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord.

⁴² And those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari,⁴⁸⁴⁷ throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,

⁴³ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ every one that entereth⁹³⁵ into the service,⁶⁶³⁵ for the work⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,

⁴⁴ Even those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them after their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ were three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and two hundred.

⁴⁵ These be those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari,⁴⁸⁴⁷ whom Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ according to the word⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

⁴⁶ All those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ whom Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ and the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ numbered,⁶⁴⁸⁵ after their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ and after the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,

⁴⁷ From thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ every one that came⁹³⁵ to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service of the ministry,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the burden⁴⁸⁵³ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,

⁴⁸^C Even those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them, were eight⁸⁰⁸³ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore.

⁴⁹ According to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² every³⁷⁶ one³⁷⁶ according to his service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and according to his burden:⁴⁸⁵³ thus were they numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of him, as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

5And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Command⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they put out⁷⁹⁷¹ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ every leper,⁶⁸⁷⁹ and every one that hath an issue,²¹⁰⁰ and whosoever is defiled²⁹³¹ by the dead:

³ Both male²¹⁴⁵ and female⁵³⁴⁷ shall ye put out,⁷⁹⁷¹ without²³⁵¹ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ shall ye put⁷⁹⁷¹ them; that they defile²⁹³⁰ not their camps,⁴²⁶⁴ in the midst⁸⁴³² whereof⁸³⁴ I dwell.

⁴ And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did so,⁶²¹³ and put them out⁷⁹⁷¹ without²³⁵¹ the camp:⁴²⁶⁴ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² so did⁶²¹³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁵ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

⁶^C Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ When a man³⁷⁶ or woman⁸⁰² shall commit⁶²¹³ any sin²⁴⁰³ that men¹²⁰ commit,⁴⁶⁰³ to do a trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ against the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and that person⁵³¹⁵ be guilty;

⁷^C Then they shall confess³⁰³⁴ their sin²⁴⁰³ which they have done:⁶²¹³ and he shall recompense⁷⁷²⁵ his trespass⁸¹⁷ with the principal⁷²¹⁸ thereof, and add³²⁵⁴ unto it the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ part thereof, and give⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

⁸^C But if the man³⁷⁶ have no kinsman¹³⁵⁰ to recompense⁷⁷²⁵ the trespass⁸¹⁷ unto, let the trespass⁸¹⁷ be recompensed⁷⁷²⁵ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ even to the priest;³⁵⁴⁸ beside the ram³⁵² of the atonement,³⁷²⁵ whereby an atonement shall be made

⁹ And every offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of all the holy things⁶⁹⁴⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which they bring⁷¹²⁶ unto the priest,

¹⁰ And every man's³⁷⁶ hallowed things⁶⁹⁴⁴ shall be his: whatsoever any man³⁷⁶ giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ the priest,

¹¹ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹² Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If any³⁷⁶ man's³⁷⁶ wife⁸⁰² go aside,⁷⁸⁴⁷ and commit⁴⁶⁰³ a trespass

¹³ And a man³⁷⁶ lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with her carnally,⁷⁹⁰²²²³³ and it be hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of her husband,³⁷⁶ and be kept close,⁵⁶⁴¹ and she be defiled,²⁹³⁰ and there be no witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ against her, neither she be taken

¹⁴ And the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of jealousy⁷⁰⁶⁸ come⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon him, and he be jealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ of his wife,⁸⁰² and she be defiled:²⁹³⁰ or if the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of jealousy⁷⁰⁶⁸ come⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon him, and he be jealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ of his wife,⁸⁰² and she be not defiled:

¹⁵^C Then shall the man³⁷⁶ bring⁹³⁵ his wife⁸⁰² unto the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and he shall bring⁹³⁵ her offering⁷¹³³ for her, the tenth⁶²²⁴ part of an ephah³⁷⁴ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ meal;⁷⁰⁵⁸ he shall pour³³³² no oil⁸⁰⁸¹ upon it, nor put⁵⁴¹⁴ frankincense³⁸²⁸ thereon; for it is an offering⁴⁵⁰³ of jealousy,⁷⁰⁶⁸ an offering⁴⁵⁰³ of memorial,²¹⁴⁶ bringing²¹⁴² iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ to remembrance.

¹⁶ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall bring her near,⁷¹²⁶ and set⁵⁹⁷⁵ her before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord:

¹⁷ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take³⁹⁴⁷ holy⁶⁹¹⁸ water⁴³²⁵ in an earthen²⁷⁸⁹ vessel;³⁶²⁷ and of the dust⁶⁰⁸³ that is in the floor⁷¹⁷² of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take,³⁹⁴⁷ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the water:

¹⁸ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the woman⁸⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and uncover⁶⁵⁴⁴ the woman's⁸⁰² head,⁷²¹⁸ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ the offering⁴⁵⁰³ of memorial²¹⁴⁶ in her hands,³⁷⁰⁹ which is the jealousy⁷⁰⁶⁸ offering:⁴⁵⁰³ and the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall have in his hand³⁰²⁷ the bitter⁴⁷⁵¹ water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse:

¹⁹ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall charge her by an oath,⁷⁶⁵⁰ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto the woman,⁸⁰² If no man³⁷⁶ have lain⁷⁹⁰¹ with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside⁷⁸⁴⁷ to uncleanness²⁹³² with another instead of thy husband,³⁷⁶ be thou free⁵³⁵² from this bitter⁴⁷⁵¹ water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse:

²⁰ But if thou hast gone aside⁷⁸⁴⁷ to another instead of thy husband,³⁷⁶ and if thou be defiled,²⁹³⁰ and some man³⁷⁶ have⁵⁴¹⁴ lain⁷⁹⁰³ with thee beside¹¹⁰⁷ thine husband:

²¹ Then the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall charge⁷⁶⁵⁰ the woman⁸⁰² with an oath⁷⁶²¹ of cursing,⁴²³ and the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall say⁵⁵⁹ unto the woman,⁸⁰² The Lord³⁰⁶⁸ make⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a curse⁴²³ and an oath⁷⁶²¹ among⁸⁴³² thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ when the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ doth make⁵⁴¹⁴ thy thigh³⁴⁰⁹ to rot,⁵³⁰⁷ and thy belly⁹⁹⁰ to swell;

²² And this water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse⁷⁷⁹ shall go⁹³⁵ into thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ to make thy belly⁹⁹⁰ to swell,⁶⁶³⁸ and thy thigh³⁴⁰⁹ to rot:⁵³⁰⁷ And the woman⁸⁰² shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Amen,⁵⁴³ amen.

²³ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall write³⁷⁸⁹ these curses⁴²³ in a book,⁵⁶¹² and he shall blot⁴²²⁹ them out with the bitter⁴⁷⁵¹ water:

²⁴ And he shall cause the woman⁸⁰² to drink⁸²⁴⁸ the bitter⁴⁷⁵¹ water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse:⁷⁷⁹ and the water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse⁷⁷⁹ shall enter⁹³⁵ into her, and become bitter.

²⁵ Then the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take³⁹⁴⁷ the jealousy⁷⁰⁶⁸ offering⁴⁵⁰³ out of the woman's⁸⁰² hand,³⁰²⁷ and shall wave⁵¹³⁰ the offering⁴⁵⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and offer⁷¹²⁶ it upon the altar:

²⁶ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take an handful⁷⁰⁶¹ of the offering,⁴⁵⁰³ even the memorial²³⁴ thereof, and burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ it upon the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and afterward³¹⁰ shall cause the woman⁸⁰² to drink⁸²⁴⁸ the water.

²⁷ And when he hath made her to drink⁸²⁴⁸ the water,⁴³²⁵ then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled,²⁹³⁰ and have done⁴⁶⁰³ trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ against her husband,³⁷⁶ that the water⁴³²⁵ that causeth the curse⁷⁷⁹ shall enter⁹³⁵ into her, and become bitter,⁴⁷⁵¹ and her belly⁹⁹⁰ shall swell,⁶⁶³⁸ and her thigh³⁴⁰⁹ shall rot:⁵³⁰⁷ and the woman⁸⁰² shall be a curse⁴²³ among⁷¹³⁰ her people.

²⁸ And if the woman⁸⁰² be not defiled,²⁹³⁰ but be clean;²⁸⁸⁹ then she shall be free,⁵³⁵² and shall conceive²²³² seed.

²⁹ This is the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of jealousies,⁷⁰⁶⁸ when a wife⁸⁰² goeth aside⁷⁸⁴⁷ to another instead of her husband,³⁷⁶ and is defiled;

³⁰ Or when the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of jealousy⁷⁰⁶⁸ cometh⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon him,³⁷⁶ and he be jealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ over his wife,⁸⁰² and shall set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the woman⁸⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall execute⁶²¹³ upon her all this law.

³¹ Then shall the man³⁷⁶ be guiltless⁵³⁵² from iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ and this¹⁹³¹ woman⁸⁰² shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ her iniquity.

6And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²^C Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When either man³⁷⁶ or woman⁸⁰² shall separate⁶³⁸¹ themselves to vow⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ of a Nazarite,⁵¹³⁹ to separate⁵¹⁴⁴ themselves unto the Lord:

³ He shall separate⁵¹⁴⁴ himself from wine³¹⁹⁶ and strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ and shall drink⁸³⁵⁴ no vinegar²⁵⁵⁸ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ or vinegar²⁵⁵⁸ of strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ neither shall he drink⁸³⁵⁴ any liquor⁴⁹⁵² of grapes,⁶⁰²⁵ nor eat³⁹⁸ moist³⁸⁹² grapes,⁶⁰²⁵ or dried.

⁴ All the days³¹¹⁷ of his separation⁵¹⁴⁵ shall he eat³⁹⁸ nothing that is made⁶²¹³ of the vine³¹⁹⁶ tree,¹⁶¹² from the kernels²⁷⁸⁵ even to the husk.

⁵ All the days³¹¹⁷ of the vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ of his separation⁵¹⁴⁵ there shall no razor⁸⁵⁹³ come⁵⁶⁷⁴ upon his head:⁷²¹⁸ until the days³¹¹⁷ be fulfilled,⁴³⁹⁰ in the which he separateth⁵¹⁴⁴ himself unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ he shall be holy,⁶⁹¹⁸ and shall let the locks⁶⁵⁴⁵ of the hair⁸¹⁸¹ of his head⁷²¹⁸ grow.

⁶ All the days³¹¹⁷ that he separateth⁵¹⁴⁴ himself unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ he shall come⁹³⁵ at no dead⁴¹⁹¹ body.

⁷ He shall not make himself unclean²⁹³⁰ for his father,¹ or for his mother,⁵¹⁷ for his brother,²⁵¹ or for his sister,²⁶⁹ when they die:⁴¹⁹⁴ because the consecration⁵¹⁴⁵ of his God⁴³⁰ is upon his head.

⁸ All the days³¹¹⁷ of his separation⁵¹⁴⁵ he is holy⁶⁹¹⁸ unto the Lord.

⁹ And if any man⁴¹⁹¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ very⁶⁶²¹ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ by him, and he hath defiled²⁹³⁰ the head⁷²¹⁸ of his consecration;⁵¹⁴⁵ then he shall shave¹⁵⁴⁸ his head⁷²¹⁸ in the day³¹¹⁷ of his cleansing,²⁸⁹³ on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day³¹¹⁷ shall he shave

¹⁰ And on the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ he shall bring⁹³⁵ two⁸¹⁴⁷ turtles,⁸⁴⁴⁹ or two⁸¹⁴⁷ young¹¹²¹ pigeons,³¹²³ to the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ to the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:

¹¹ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall offer⁶²¹³ the one²⁵⁹ for a sin offering,²⁴⁰³ and the other²⁵⁹ for a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ and make an atonement³⁷²² for him, for that⁸³⁴ he sinned²³⁹⁸ by the dead,⁵³¹⁵ and shall hallow⁶⁹⁴² his head⁷²¹⁸ that same day.

¹² And he shall consecrate⁵¹⁴⁴ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ the days³¹¹⁷ of his separation,⁵¹⁴⁵ and shall bring⁹³⁵ a lamb³⁵³² of the first¹¹²¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ for a trespass offering:⁸¹⁷ but the days³¹¹⁷ that were before⁷²²³ shall be lost,⁵³⁰⁷ because his separation⁵¹⁴⁵ was defiled.

8And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto him, When thou lightest⁵⁹²⁷ the lamps,⁵²¹⁶ the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ lamps⁵²¹⁶ shall give light²¹⁵ over against⁶⁴⁴⁰⁴¹³⁶ the candlestick.

⁶ Take³⁹⁴⁷ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ from among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and cleanse

⁷ And thus shalt thou do⁶²¹³ unto them, to cleanse²⁸⁹¹ them: Sprinkle⁵¹³⁷ water⁴³²⁵ of purifying²⁴⁰³ upon them, and let them shave⁸⁵⁹³⁵⁶⁷⁴ all their flesh,¹³²⁰ and let them wash³⁵²⁶ their clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and so make themselves clean.

⁸ Then let them take³⁹⁴⁷ a young¹¹²¹¹²⁴¹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ with his meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ even fine flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ mingled¹¹⁰¹ with oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and another⁸¹⁴⁵ young¹¹²¹¹²⁴¹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ shalt thou take³⁹⁴⁷ for a sin offering.

¹⁰ And thou shalt bring⁷¹²⁶ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall put⁵⁵⁶⁴ their hands³⁰²⁷ upon the Levites:

¹¹ And Aaron¹⁷⁵ shall offer⁵¹³⁰ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ for an offering⁸⁵⁷³ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they may execute⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the Lord.

¹²^C And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall lay⁵⁵⁶⁴ their hands³⁰²⁷ upon the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the bullocks:⁶⁴⁹⁹ and thou shalt offer⁶²¹³ the one²⁵⁹ for a sin offering,²⁴⁰³ and the other²⁵⁹ for a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ to make an atonement³⁷²² for the Levites.

¹³ And thou shalt set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his sons,¹¹²¹ and offer⁵¹³⁰ them for an offering⁸⁵⁷³ unto the Lord.

¹⁴ Thus shalt thou separate⁹¹⁴ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ from among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and the Levites

¹⁵ And after³¹⁰ that shall the Levites³⁸⁸¹ go in⁹³⁵ to do the service⁵⁶⁴⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and thou shalt cleanse²⁸⁹¹ them, and offer⁵¹³⁰ them for an offering.

¹⁶ For they are wholly given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto me from among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ instead of such as open⁶³⁶³ every womb,⁷³⁵⁸ even instead of the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ have I taken

¹⁷^C For all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ are mine, both man¹²⁰ and beast:⁹²⁹ on the day³¹¹⁷ that I smote⁵²²¹ every firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ I sanctified

¹⁸^C And I have taken³⁹⁴⁷ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ for all the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

¹⁹^C And I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ as a gift⁵⁴¹⁴ to Aaron¹⁷⁵ and to his sons¹¹²¹ from among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and to make an atonement³⁷²² for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ that there be no plague⁵⁰⁶³ among the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ come nigh⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto the sanctuary.

²⁰ And Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ to the Levites³⁸⁸¹ according unto all that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² concerning the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ so did⁶²¹³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel

²¹ And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were purified,²³⁹⁸ and they washed³⁵²⁶ their clothes;⁸⁹⁹ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ offered⁵¹³⁰ them as an offering⁸⁵⁷³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ made an atonement³⁷²² for them to cleanse

²² And after³¹⁰ that went⁹³⁵ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ in to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ their service⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his sons:¹¹²¹ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ had commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² concerning the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ so did

²³ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²⁴^C This is it that belongeth unto the Levites:³⁸⁸¹ from twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward⁴⁶⁰⁵ they shall go in⁹³⁵ to wait⁶⁶³³⁶⁶³⁵ upon the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:

²⁵ And from the age¹¹²¹ of fifty²⁵⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ they shall cease⁷⁷²⁵ waiting⁶⁶³⁵ upon the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ thereof, and shall serve

²⁶ But shall minister⁸³³⁴ with their brethren²⁵¹ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge,⁴⁹³¹ and shall do⁵⁶⁴⁷ no service.⁵⁶⁵⁶ Thus shalt thou do⁶²¹³ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ touching their charge.

9And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Sinai,⁵⁵¹⁴ in the first⁷²²³ month²³²⁰ of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ year⁸¹⁴¹ after they were come out³³¹⁸ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ saying,

²^C Let the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ also keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ at his appointed season.

³ In the fourteenth⁷⁰²⁶²⁴⁰ day³¹¹⁷ of this month,²³²⁰ at even,⁶¹⁵³ ye shall keep⁶²¹³ it in his appointed season:⁴¹⁵⁰ according to all the rites²⁷⁰⁸ of it, and according to all the ceremonies⁴⁹⁴¹ thereof, shall ye keep

⁴ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they should keep⁶²¹³ the passover.

⁵ And they kept⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth⁷⁰²⁶²⁴⁰ day³¹¹⁷ of the first⁷²²³ month²³²⁰ at even⁶¹⁵³ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Sinai:⁵⁵¹⁴ according to all that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² so did⁶²¹³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁶ And there were certain men,⁵⁸² who were defiled²⁹³¹ by the dead body⁵³¹⁵ of a man,¹²⁰ that they could³²⁰¹ not keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on that day:³¹¹⁷ and they came⁷¹²⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Aaron¹⁷⁵ on that day:

⁷ And those¹⁹⁹² men⁵⁸² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, We are defiled²⁹³¹ by the dead body⁵³¹⁵ of a man:¹²⁰ wherefore are we kept back,¹⁶³⁹ that we may not offer⁷¹²⁶ an offering⁷¹³³ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in his appointed season⁴¹⁵⁰ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel?

⁸ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Stand still,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and I will hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ what the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will command

⁹ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹⁰ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ If any³⁷⁶ man³⁷⁶ of you or of your posterity¹⁷⁵⁵ shall be unclean²⁹³¹ by reason of a dead body,⁵³¹⁵ or be in a journey¹⁸⁷⁰ afar off,⁷³⁵⁰ yet he shall keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the Lord.

¹¹^C The fourteenth⁷⁰²⁶²⁴⁰ day³¹¹⁷ of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month²³²⁰ at even⁶¹⁵³ they shall keep⁶²¹³ it, and eat³⁹⁸ it with unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² and bitter

¹²^C They shall leave⁷⁶⁰⁴ none of it unto the morning,¹²⁴² nor break⁷⁶⁶⁵ any bone⁶¹⁰⁶ of it: according to all the ordinances²⁷⁰⁸ of the passover⁶⁴⁵³ they shall keep

¹³ But the man³⁷⁶ that is clean,²⁸⁸⁹ and is not in a journey,¹⁸⁷⁰ and forbeareth²³⁰⁸ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ even the same soul⁵³¹⁵ shall be cut off³⁷⁷² from among his people:⁵⁹⁷¹ because he brought⁷¹²⁶ not the offering⁷¹³³ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in his appointed season,⁴¹⁵⁰ that man³⁷⁶ shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ his sin.

¹⁴ And if a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ shall sojourn¹⁴⁸¹ among you, and will keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ according to the ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ of the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and according to the manner⁴⁹⁴¹ thereof, so shall he do:⁶²¹³ ye shall have one²⁵⁹ ordinance,²⁷⁰⁸ both for the stranger,¹⁶¹⁶ and for him that was born²⁴⁹ in the land.

¹⁵ And on the day³¹¹⁷ that the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ was reared up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ covered³⁶⁸⁰ the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ namely, the tent¹⁶⁸ of the testimony:⁵⁷¹⁵ and at even⁶¹⁵³ there was upon the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ as it were the appearance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of fire,⁷⁸⁴ until the morning.

¹⁶ So it was alway:⁸⁵⁴⁸ the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ covered³⁶⁸⁰ it by day, and the appearance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of fire⁷⁸⁴ by night.

¹⁷ And when⁶³¹⁰ the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ was taken up⁵⁹²⁷ from the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ then after³¹⁰ that the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ journeyed:⁵²⁶⁵ and in the place⁴⁷²⁵ where the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ abode,⁷⁹³¹ there the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ pitched their tents.

¹⁸ At the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ journeyed,⁵²⁶⁵ and at the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they pitched:²⁵⁸³ as long as³¹¹⁷ the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ abode⁷⁹³¹ upon the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ they rested

¹⁹ And when the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ tarried long⁷⁴⁸ upon the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ many⁷²²⁷ days,³¹¹⁷ then the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and journeyed

²⁰ And so it was,³⁴²⁶ when the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ was a few⁴⁵⁵⁷ days³¹¹⁷ upon the tabernacle;⁴⁹⁰⁸ according to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they abode²⁵⁸³ in their tents, and according to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they journeyed.

²¹ And so it was,³⁴²⁶ when the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ abode from even⁶¹⁵³ unto the morning,¹²⁴² and that the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ was taken up⁵⁹²⁷ in the morning,¹²⁴² then they journeyed:⁵²⁶⁵ whether it was by day³¹¹⁹ or by night³⁹¹⁵ that the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ was taken up,⁵⁹²⁷ they journeyed.

²² Or whether it were two days,³¹¹⁷ or a month,²³²⁰ or a year,³¹¹⁷ that the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ tarried⁷⁴⁸ upon the tabernacle,⁴⁹⁰⁸ remaining⁷⁹³¹ thereon, the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ abode²⁵⁸³ in their tents, and journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ not: but when it was taken up,⁵⁹²⁷ they journeyed.

²³ At the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they rested²⁵⁸³ in the tents, and at the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ they journeyed:⁵²⁶⁵ they kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ at the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

10And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²^C Make⁶²¹³ thee two⁸¹⁴⁷ trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ of silver;³⁷⁰¹ of a whole piece⁴⁷⁴⁹ shalt thou make⁶²¹³ them: that thou mayest use¹⁹⁶¹ them for the calling⁴⁷⁴⁴ of the assembly,⁵⁷¹² and for the journeying⁴⁵⁵⁰ of the camps.

³ And when they shall blow⁸⁶²⁸ with them,²⁰⁰⁴ all the assembly⁵⁷¹² shall assemble³²⁵⁹ themselves to thee at the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

⁴ And if they blow⁸⁶²⁸ but with one²⁵⁹ trumpet, then the princes,⁵³⁸⁷ which are heads⁷²¹⁸ of the thousands⁵⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ shall gather

⁵ When ye blow⁸⁶²⁸ an alarm,⁸⁶⁴³ then the camps⁴²⁶⁴ that lie²⁵⁸³ on the east parts⁶⁹²⁴ shall go forward.

⁶ When ye blow⁸⁶²⁸ an alarm⁸⁶⁴³ the second time,⁸¹⁴⁵ then the camps⁴²⁶⁴ that lie²⁵⁸³ on the south side⁸⁴⁸⁶ shall take their journey:⁵²⁶⁵ they shall blow⁸⁶²⁸ an alarm⁸⁶⁴³ for their journeys.

⁷ But when the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ is to be gathered together,⁶⁹⁵⁰ ye shall blow,⁸⁶²⁸ but ye shall not sound an alarm.

⁸ And the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ shall blow⁸⁶²⁸ with the trumpets;²⁶⁸⁹ and they shall be to you for an ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ throughout your generations.

⁹ And if ye go⁹³⁵ to war⁴⁴²¹ in your land⁷⁷⁶ against⁶⁸⁶² the enemy that oppresseth⁶⁸⁸⁷ you, then ye shall blow an alarm⁷³²¹ with the trumpets;²⁶⁸⁹ and ye shall be remembered²¹⁴² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ and ye shall be saved³⁴⁶⁷ from your enemies.

¹⁰^C Also in the day³¹¹⁷ of your gladness,⁸⁰⁵⁷ and in your solemn days,⁴¹⁵⁰ and in the beginnings⁷²¹⁸ of your months,²³²⁰ ye shall blow⁸⁶²⁸ with the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ over your burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and over the sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ of your peace offerings;⁸⁰⁰² that they may be to you for a memorial²¹⁴⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ your God:⁴³⁰ I am the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ your God.

¹¹^C And it came to pass on the twentieth⁶²⁴² day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ year,⁸¹⁴¹ that the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ was taken up⁵⁹²⁷ from off the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the testimony.

¹²^C And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took⁵²⁶⁵ their journeys⁴⁵⁵⁰ out of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Sinai;⁵⁵¹⁴ and the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ rested⁷⁹³¹ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Paran.

¹³^C And they first⁷²²³ took their journey⁵²⁶⁵ according to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

¹⁴ In the first⁷²²³ place went⁵²⁶⁵ the standard¹⁷¹⁴ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ according to their armies:⁶⁶³⁵ and over his host was Nahshon⁵¹⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Amminadab.

¹⁵ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Issachar³⁴⁸⁵ was Nethaneel⁵⁴¹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zuar.

¹⁶ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ was Eliab⁴⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Helon.

¹⁷ And the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ was taken down;³³⁸¹ and the sons¹¹²¹ of Gershon¹⁶⁴⁸ and the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari⁴⁸⁴⁷ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ bearing⁵³⁷⁵ the tabernacle.

¹⁸^C And the standard¹⁷¹⁴ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ set forward⁵²⁶⁵ according to their armies:⁶⁶³⁵ and over his host⁶⁶³⁵ was Elizur⁴⁶⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Shedeur.

¹⁹ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ was Shelumiel⁸⁰¹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zurishaddai.

²⁰ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ was Eliasaph⁴⁶⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Deuel.

²¹ And the Kohathites⁶⁹⁵⁶ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ bearing⁵³⁷⁵ the sanctuary:⁴⁷²⁰ and the other did set up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ against they came.

²² And the standard¹⁷¹⁴ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ set forward⁵²⁶⁵ according to their armies:⁶⁶³⁵ and over his host⁶⁶³⁵ was Elishama⁴⁷⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammihud.

²³ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ was Gamaliel¹⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Pedahzur.

²⁴ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ was Abidan²⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Gideoni.

²⁵ And the standard¹⁷¹⁴ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Dan¹⁸³⁵ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ which was the rereward⁶²² of all the camps⁴²⁶⁴ throughout their hosts:⁶⁶³⁵ and over his host⁶⁶³⁵ was Ahiezer²⁹⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammishaddai.

²⁶ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Asher⁸³⁶ was Pagiel⁶²⁹⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Ocran.

²⁷ And over the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Naphtali⁵³²¹ was Ahira²⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Enan.

²⁸ Thus were⁴²⁸ the journeyings⁴⁵⁵⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ according to their armies,⁶⁶³⁵ when they set forward.

²⁹^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Hobab,²²⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Raguel⁷⁴⁶⁷ the Midianite,⁴⁰⁸⁴ Moses'⁴⁸⁷² father in law,²⁸⁵⁹ We are journeying⁵²⁶⁵ unto the place⁴⁷²⁵ of which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ it you: come³²¹² thou with us, and we will do thee good:²⁸⁹⁵ for the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ concerning Israel.

³⁰^C And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I will not go;³²¹² but I will depart³²¹² to mine own land,⁷⁷⁶ and to my kindred.

³¹^C And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest³⁶⁵¹³⁰⁴⁵ how we are to encamp²⁵⁸³ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

³² And it shall be, if thou go³²¹² with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness²⁸⁹⁶ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall do³¹⁹⁰ unto us, the same will we do

³³ And they departed⁵²⁶⁵ from the mount²⁰²² of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey:¹⁸⁷⁰ and the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ went⁵²⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them in the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey,¹⁸⁷⁰ to search out⁸⁴⁴⁶ a resting place

³⁴ And the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was upon them by day,³¹¹⁹ when they went out⁵²⁶⁵ of the camp.

³⁵^C And it came to pass, when the ark⁷²⁷ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ that Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ Rise up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and let thine enemies³⁴¹ be scattered;⁶³²⁷ and let them that hate⁸¹³⁰ thee flee⁵¹²⁷ before

³⁶^C And when it rested,⁵¹¹⁷ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Return,⁷⁷²⁵ O Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ unto the many⁷²³³ thousands⁵⁰⁵ of Israel.

11And when the people⁵⁹⁷¹ complained,⁵⁹⁶ it displeased⁷⁴⁵¹²⁴¹ the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it; and his anger⁶³⁹ was kindled;²⁷³⁴ and the fire⁷⁸⁴ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ burnt¹¹⁹⁷ among them, and consumed³⁹⁸ them that were in the uttermost parts⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp.

² And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto Moses;⁴⁸⁷² and when Moses⁴⁸⁷² prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ the fire⁷⁸⁴ was quenched.

³ And he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the¹⁹³¹ place⁴⁷²⁵ Taberah:⁸⁴⁰⁴ because the fire⁷⁸⁴ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ burnt

⁴^C And the mixt multitude⁶²⁸ that was among⁷¹³⁰ them fell a lusting:¹⁸³⁸³⁷⁸ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ also wept¹⁰⁵⁸ again,⁷⁷²⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall give us flesh¹³²⁰ to eat?

⁵^C We remember²¹⁴² the fish,¹⁷¹⁰ which we did eat³⁹⁸ in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ freely;²⁶⁰⁰ the cucumbers,⁷¹⁸⁰ and the melons,²⁰ and the leeks,²⁶⁸² and the onions,¹²¹¹ and the garlick:

⁶^C But now our soul⁵³¹⁵ is dried away:³⁰⁰² there is nothing at all, beside¹¹¹⁵ this manna,⁴⁴⁷⁸ before our eyes.

⁷^C And the manna⁴⁴⁷⁸ was as coriander¹⁴⁰⁷ seed,²²³³ and the colour⁵⁸⁶⁹ thereof as the colour⁵⁸⁶⁹ of bdellium.

⁸ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went about,⁷⁷⁵¹ and gathered³⁹⁵⁰ it, and ground²⁹¹² it in mills,⁷³⁴⁷ or beat¹⁷⁴³ it in a mortar,⁴⁰⁸⁵ and baked¹³¹⁰ it in pans,⁶⁵¹⁷ and made⁶²¹³ cakes⁵⁶⁹² of it: and the taste²⁹⁴⁰ of it was as the taste²⁹⁴⁰ of fresh³⁹⁵⁵ oil.

⁹^C And when the dew²⁹¹⁹ fell³³⁸¹ upon the camp⁴²⁶⁴ in the night,³⁹¹⁵ the manna⁴⁴⁷⁸ fell

¹⁰ Then Moses⁴⁸⁷² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ weep¹⁰⁵⁸ throughout their families,⁴⁹⁴⁰ every man³⁷⁶ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of his tent:¹⁶⁸ and the anger⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ greatly;³⁹⁶⁶ Moses⁴⁸⁷² also was displeased.⁷⁴⁸⁹

¹¹^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ Wherefore hast thou afflicted⁷⁴⁸⁹ thy servant?⁵⁶⁵⁰ and wherefore have I not found⁴⁶⁷² favour²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that thou layest⁷⁷⁶⁰ the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of all this people

¹²^C Have I conceived²⁰²⁹ all this people?⁵⁹⁷¹ have I begotten³²⁰⁵ them, that thou shouldest say⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Carry⁵³⁷⁵ them in thy bosom,²⁴³⁶ as a nursing father⁵³⁹ beareth⁵³⁷⁵ the sucking child,³²⁴³ unto the land¹²⁷ which thou swarest⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto their fathers?

¹³^C Whence³⁷⁰ should I have flesh¹³²⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto all this people?⁵⁹⁷¹ for they weep¹⁰⁵⁸ unto me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give⁵⁴¹⁴ us flesh,¹³²⁰ that we may eat.

¹⁴^C I am not able³²⁰¹ to bear⁵³⁷⁵ all this people⁵⁹⁷¹ alone,⁹⁰⁵ because it is too heavy

¹⁵^C And if thou deal⁶²¹³ thus with me, kill²⁰²⁶ me, I pray thee, out of hand,²⁰²⁶ if I have found⁴⁶⁷² favour²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight;⁵⁸⁶⁹ and let me not see⁷²⁰⁰ my wretchedness.

¹⁶^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Gather⁶²² unto me seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whom thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ to be the elders²²⁰⁵ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ over them; and bring³⁹⁴⁷ them unto the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ that they may stand

¹⁷^C And I will come down³³⁸¹ and talk¹⁶⁹⁶ with thee there: and I will take⁶⁸⁰ of the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ which is upon thee, and will put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it upon them; and they shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ with thee, that thou bear

¹⁸^C And say⁵⁵⁹ thou unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Sanctify⁶⁹⁴² yourselves against to morrow,⁴²⁷⁹ and ye shall eat³⁹⁸ flesh:¹³²⁰ for ye have wept¹⁰⁵⁸ in the ears²⁴¹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall give us flesh¹³²⁰ to eat?³⁹⁸ for it was well²⁸⁹⁵ with us in Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ therefore the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you flesh,¹³²⁰ and ye shall eat.

¹⁹ Ye shall not eat³⁹⁸ one²⁵⁹ day,³¹¹⁷ nor two days,³¹¹⁷ nor five²⁵⁶⁸ days,³¹¹⁷ neither ten⁶²³⁵ days,³¹¹⁷ nor twenty⁶²⁴² days;

²⁰ But even a whole month,²³²⁰³¹¹⁷ until it come out³³¹⁸ at your nostrils,⁶³⁹ and it be loathsome²²¹⁴ unto you: because³²⁸² that ye have despised³⁹⁸⁸ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ which is among⁷¹³⁰ you, and have wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Why came we forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt?

²¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ The people,⁵⁹⁷¹ among⁷¹³⁰ whom I am, are six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen;⁷²⁷³ and thou hast said,⁵⁵⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ them flesh,¹³²⁰ that they may eat³⁹⁸ a whole³¹¹⁷ month.

²² Shall the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and the herds¹²⁴¹ be slain⁷⁸¹⁹ for them, to suffice⁴⁶⁷² them? or shall all the fish¹⁷⁰⁹ of the sea³²²⁰ be gathered together⁶²² for them, to suffice

²³ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Is the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ hand³⁰²⁷ waxed short?⁷¹¹⁴ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ now whether my word¹⁶⁹⁷ shall come to pass

²⁴ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² went out,³³¹⁸ and told¹⁶⁹⁶ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and gathered⁶²² the seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the elders²²⁰⁵ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and set⁵⁹⁷⁵ them round about⁵⁴³⁹ the tabernacle.

²⁵^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ came down³³⁸¹ in a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, and took⁶⁸⁰ of the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ that was upon him, and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto the seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ elders:²²⁰⁵³⁷⁶ and it came to pass, that, when the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ rested⁵¹¹⁷ upon them, they prophesied,⁵⁰¹² and did not cease.

²⁶ But there remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ two⁸¹⁴⁷ of the men⁵⁸² in the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ was Eldad,⁴¹⁹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Medad:⁴³¹² and the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ rested⁵¹¹⁷ upon them; and they were of them that were written,³⁷⁸⁹ but went not out³³¹⁸ unto the tabernacle:¹⁶⁸ and they prophesied⁵⁰¹² in the camp.

²⁷ And there ran⁷³²³ a young man,⁵²⁸⁸ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Eldad⁴¹⁹ and Medad⁴³¹² do prophesy⁵⁰¹² in the camp.

²⁸ And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ the servant⁸³³⁴ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² one of his young men,⁹⁷⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ My lord¹¹³ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² forbid

²⁹^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Enviest⁷⁰⁶⁵ thou for my sake? would God that all the⁵⁴¹⁴ Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ were prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ would put⁵⁴¹⁴ his spirit

³⁰ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gat⁶²² him into the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ he and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel.

³¹^C And there went forth⁵²⁶⁵ a wind⁷³⁰⁷ from the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and brought¹⁴⁶⁸ quails⁷⁹⁵⁸ from the sea,³²²⁰ and let them fall⁵²⁰³ by the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ as it were a day's³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ on this side,³⁵⁴¹ and as it were a day's³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ on the other side,³⁵⁴¹ round about⁵⁴³⁹ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and as it were two cubits⁵²⁰ high upon the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth.

³² And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ all that day,³¹¹⁷ and all that night,³⁹¹⁵ and all the next⁴²⁸³ day,³¹¹⁷ and they gathered⁶²² the quails:⁷⁹⁵⁸ he that gathered least⁴⁵⁹¹ gathered⁶²² ten⁶²³⁵ homers:²⁵⁶³ and they spread⁷⁸⁴⁹ them all abroad⁷⁸⁴⁹ for themselves round about⁵⁴³⁹ the camp.

³³^C And while the flesh¹³²⁰ was yet²⁹⁶² between their teeth,⁸¹²⁷ ere it was chewed,³⁷⁷² the wrath⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵²²¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²²⁷ plague.

³⁴^C And he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that place⁴⁷²⁵ Kibrothhattaavah:⁶⁹¹⁴ because there they buried⁶⁹¹² the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that lusted.

³⁵ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ from Kibrothhattaavah⁶⁹¹⁴ unto Hazeroth;²⁶⁹⁸ and abode at Hazeroth.

12^CAnd Miriam⁴⁸¹³ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ against Moses⁴⁸⁷² because of¹⁸² the Ethiopian³⁵⁷¹ woman⁸⁰² whom he had married:³⁹⁴⁷ for he had married³⁹⁴⁷ an Ethiopian³⁵⁷¹ woman.

²^C And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Hath the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ indeed spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ only by Moses?⁴⁸⁷² hath he not spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ also by us? And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ heard

³^C (Now the man³⁷⁶ Moses⁴⁸⁷² was very³⁹⁶⁶ meek,⁶⁰³⁵⁶⁰³⁵ above all the men¹²⁰ which were upon the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth.)

⁴ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and unto Miriam,⁴⁸¹³ Come out³³¹⁸ ye three⁷⁹⁶⁹ unto the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.⁴¹⁵⁰ And they three⁷⁹⁶⁹ came out.

⁵ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ came down³³⁸¹ in the pillar⁵⁹⁸² of the cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ and called⁷¹²¹ Aaron¹⁷⁵ and Miriam:⁴⁸¹³ and they both⁸¹⁴⁷ came forth.

⁶ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now my words:¹⁶⁹⁷ If there be a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ among you, I the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will make myself known³⁰⁴⁵ unto him in a vision,⁴⁷⁵⁹ and will speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him in a dream.

⁷ My servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² is not so, who is faithful⁵³⁹ in all mine house.

⁸^C With him will I speak¹⁶⁹⁶ mouth⁶³¹⁰ to mouth,⁶³¹⁰ even apparently,⁴⁷⁵⁸ and not in dark speeches;²⁴²⁰ and the similitude⁸⁵⁴⁴ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall he behold:⁵⁰²⁷ wherefore then were ye not afraid³³⁷² to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ against my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Moses?

⁹^C And the anger⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against them; and he departed.

¹⁰^C And the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ departed⁵⁴⁹³ from off the tabernacle;¹⁶⁸ and, behold, Miriam⁴⁸¹³ became leprous,⁶⁸⁷⁹ white as snow:⁷⁹⁵⁰ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ looked⁶⁴³⁷ upon Miriam,⁴⁸¹³ and, behold, she was leprous.

¹¹ And Aaron¹⁷⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Alas,⁹⁹⁴ my lord,¹¹³ I beseech thee, lay⁷⁸⁹⁶ not the sin²⁴⁰³ upon us, wherein we have done foolishly,²⁹⁷³ and wherein we have sinned.

¹² Let her not be as one dead,⁴⁹⁹⁴⁴¹⁹¹ of whom the flesh¹³²⁰ is half²⁶⁷⁷ consumed³⁹⁸ when he cometh out³³¹⁸ of his mother's⁵¹⁷ womb.

¹³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Heal⁷⁴⁹⁵ her now, O God,

¹⁴^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² If her father¹ had but³⁴¹⁷ spit³⁴¹⁷ in her face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ should she not be ashamed³⁶³⁷ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days?³¹¹⁷ let her be shut⁵⁴⁶² out²³⁵¹ from the camp⁴²⁶⁴ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and after³¹⁰ that let her be received

¹⁵ And Miriam⁴⁸¹³ was shut⁵⁴⁶² out²³⁵¹ from the camp⁴²⁶⁴ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ not till Miriam⁴⁸¹³ was brought

¹⁶ And afterward³¹⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ removed⁵²⁶⁵ from Hazeroth,²⁶⁹⁸ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Paran.

13^CAnd the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Send⁷⁹⁷¹ thou men,⁵⁸² that they may search⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ which I give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ of every³⁷⁶ tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of their fathers¹ shall ye send⁷⁹⁷¹ a man,²⁵⁹ every one a ruler

³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² by the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them from the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Paran:⁶²⁹⁰ all those men⁵⁸² were¹⁹⁹² heads⁷²¹⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁴ And these were their names:⁸⁰³⁴ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ Shammua⁸⁰⁵¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zaccur.

⁵ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Simeon,⁸⁰⁹⁵ Shaphat⁸²⁰² the son¹¹²¹ of Hori.

⁶ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh.

⁷ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ Igal³⁰⁰⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Joseph.

⁸ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ Oshea¹⁹⁵⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun.

⁹ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ Palti⁶⁴⁰⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Raphu.

¹⁰ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ Gaddiel¹⁴²⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Sodi.

¹¹ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ namely, of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Gaddi¹⁴²⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Susi.

¹² Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Dan,¹⁸³⁵ Ammiel⁵⁹⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Gemalli.

¹³ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Asher,⁸³⁶ Sethur⁵⁶³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Michael.

¹⁴ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Naphtali,⁵³²¹ Nahbi⁵¹⁴⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Vophsi.

¹⁵ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ Geuel¹³⁴⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Machi.

¹⁶^C These are the names⁸⁰³⁴ of the men⁵⁸² which Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to spy out⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land.⁷⁷⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² called⁷¹²¹ Oshea¹⁹⁵⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun⁵¹²⁶ Jehoshua.

¹⁷^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them to spy out⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Get you up⁵⁹²⁷ this way southward,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and go up⁵⁹²⁷ into the mountain:

¹⁸ And see⁷²⁰⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ what it is; and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that dwelleth³⁴²⁷ therein, whether they be strong²³⁸⁹ or weak,⁷⁵⁰⁴ few⁴⁵⁹² or many;

¹⁹ And what the land⁷⁷⁶ is that they dwell in,³⁴²⁷ whether it be good²⁸⁹⁶ or bad;⁷⁴⁵¹ and what cities⁵⁸⁹² they be that they dwell³⁴²⁷ in,²⁰⁰⁷ whether in tents,⁴²⁶⁴ or in strong holds;

²⁰^C And what the land⁷⁷⁶ is, whether it be fat⁸⁰⁸² or lean,⁷³³⁰ whether there be³⁴²⁶ wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ therein, or not. And be ye of good courage,²³⁸⁸ and bring³⁹⁴⁷ of the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶ Now the time³¹¹⁷ was the time³¹¹⁷ of the firstripe¹⁰⁶¹ grapes.

²¹ So they went up,⁵⁹²⁷ and searched⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land⁷⁷⁶ from the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Zin⁶⁷⁹⁰ unto Rehob,⁷³⁴⁰ as men come⁹³⁵ to Hamath.

²² And they ascended⁵⁹²⁷ by the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and came⁹³⁵ unto Hebron;²²⁷⁵ where Ahiman,²⁸⁹ Sheshai,⁸³⁴⁴ and Talmai,⁸⁵²⁶ the children³²¹¹ of Anak,⁶⁰⁶¹ were. (Now Hebron²²⁷⁵ was built¹¹²⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Zoan⁶⁸¹⁴ in Egypt.)

²³^C And they came⁹³⁵ unto the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ of Eshcol,⁸¹² and cut down³⁷⁷² from thence a branch²¹⁵⁶ with one²⁵⁹ cluster⁸¹¹ of grapes,⁶⁰²⁵ and they bare⁵³⁷⁵ it between two⁸¹⁴⁷ upon a staff;⁴¹³² and they brought of the pomegranates,⁷⁴¹⁶ and of the figs.

²⁴ The place⁴⁷²⁵ was called⁷¹²¹ the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Eshcol,⁸¹² because of¹⁸² the cluster of grapes⁸¹¹ which the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cut down

²⁵ And they returned⁷⁷²⁵ from searching⁸⁴⁴⁶ of the land⁷⁷⁶ after⁷⁰⁹³ forty⁷⁰⁵ days.

²⁶^C And they went³²¹² and came⁹³⁵ to Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and to Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and to all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Paran,⁶²⁹⁰ to Kadesh;⁶⁹⁴⁶ and brought back⁷⁷²⁵ word¹⁶⁹⁷ unto them, and unto all the congregation,⁵⁷¹² and shewed⁷²⁰⁰ them the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of the land.

²⁷ And they told⁵⁶⁰⁸ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ We came⁹³⁵ unto the land⁷⁷⁶ whither thou sentest⁷⁹⁷¹ us, and surely it floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey;¹⁷⁰⁶ and this is the fruit

²⁸ Nevertheless⁶⁵⁷ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ be strong⁵⁷⁹⁴ that dwell³⁴²⁷ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and the cities⁵⁸⁹² are walled,¹²¹⁹ and very³⁹⁶⁶ great:¹⁴¹⁹ and moreover we saw⁷²⁰⁰ the children³²¹¹ of Anak

²⁹^C The Amalekites⁶⁰⁰² dwell³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of the south:⁵⁰⁴⁵ and the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ and the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ dwell³⁴²⁷ in the mountains:²⁰²² and the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ dwell³⁴²⁷ by the sea,³²²⁰ and by the coast³⁰²⁷ of Jordan.

³⁰^C And Caleb³⁶¹² stilled²⁰¹³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ before Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let us go up⁵⁹²⁷ at once,⁵⁹²⁷ and possess³⁴²³ it; for we are well able³²⁰¹ to overcome

³¹^C But the men⁵⁸² that went up⁵⁹²⁷ with him said,⁵⁵⁹ We be not able³²⁰¹ to go up⁵⁹²⁷ against the people;⁵⁹⁷¹ for they are stronger

³²^C And they brought up³³¹⁸ an evil report¹⁶⁸¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ which they had searched⁸⁴⁴⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The land,⁷⁷⁶ through which we have gone⁵⁶⁷⁴ to search⁸⁴⁴⁶ it, is a land⁷⁷⁶ that eateth up³⁹⁸ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof; and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that we saw⁷²⁰⁰ in it⁸⁴³² are men⁵⁸² of a great stature.

³³^C And there we saw⁷²⁰⁰ the giants,⁵³⁰³ the sons¹¹²¹ of Anak,⁶⁰⁶¹ which come of the giants:⁵³⁰³ and we were in our own sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ as grasshoppers,²²⁸⁴ and so we were in their sight.

14And all the congregation⁵⁷¹² lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and cried;⁵⁴¹⁴ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ wept¹⁰⁵⁸ that night.

² And all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ murmured³⁸⁸⁵ against Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against Aaron:¹⁷⁵ and the whole congregation⁵⁷¹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Would God³⁸⁶³ that we had died⁴¹⁹¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt!⁴⁷¹⁴ or would God³⁸⁶³ we had died⁴¹⁹¹ in this wilderness!

³ And wherefore hath the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ brought⁹³⁵ us unto this land,⁷⁷⁶ to fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ that our wives⁸⁰² and our children²⁹⁴⁵ should be a prey?⁹⁵⁷ were it not better²⁸⁹⁶ for us to return⁷⁷²⁵ into Egypt?

⁴^C And they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to another,²⁵¹ Let us make⁵⁴¹⁴ a captain,⁷²¹⁸ and let us return⁷⁷²⁵ into Egypt.

⁵ Then Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ fell⁵³⁰⁷ on their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ all the assembly⁶⁹⁵¹ of the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁶^C And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ and Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh,³³¹² which were of them that searched⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land,⁷⁷⁶ rent⁷¹⁶⁷ their clothes:

⁷^C And they spake⁵⁵⁹ unto all the company⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The land,⁷⁷⁶ which we passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ through to search⁸⁴⁴⁶ it, is an exceeding³⁹⁶⁶³⁹⁶⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ land.

⁸ If the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ delight²⁶⁵⁴ in us, then he will bring⁹³⁵ us into this land,⁷⁷⁶ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ it us; a land⁷⁷⁶ which floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey.

⁹ Only rebel⁴⁷⁷⁵ not ye against the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ neither fear³³⁷² ye the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land;⁷⁷⁶ for they are bread³⁸⁹⁹ for us: their defence⁶⁷³⁸ is departed⁵⁴⁹³ from them, and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ is with us: fear

¹⁰ But all the congregation⁵⁷¹² bade⁵⁵⁹ stone⁷²⁷⁵ them with stones.⁶⁸ And the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ before all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

¹¹ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² How long will this people⁵⁹⁷¹ provoke⁵⁰⁰⁶ me? and how long will it be ere³⁸⁰⁸ they believe⁵³⁹ me, for all the signs²²⁶ which I have shewed⁶²¹³ among

¹² I will smite⁵²²¹ them with the pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ and disinherit³⁴²³ them, and will make⁶²¹³ of thee a greater¹⁴¹⁹ nation¹⁴⁷¹ and mightier

¹³^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ Then the Egyptians⁴⁷¹⁴ shall hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, (for thou broughtest up⁵⁹²⁷ this people⁵⁹⁷¹ in thy might³⁵⁸¹ from among

¹⁴^C And they will tell⁵⁵⁹ it to the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this land:⁷⁷⁶ for they have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that thou Lord³⁰⁶⁸ art among⁷¹³⁰ this people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that thou Lord³⁰⁶⁸ art seen⁷²⁰⁰ face⁵⁸⁶⁹ to face,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and that thy cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ standeth⁵⁹⁷⁵ over them, and that thou goest¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, by day time³¹¹⁹ in a pillar⁵⁹⁸² of a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ and in a pillar⁵⁹⁸² of fire⁷⁸⁴ by night.

¹⁵ Now if thou shalt kill⁴¹⁹¹ all this people⁵⁹⁷¹ as one²⁵⁹ man,³⁷⁶ then the nations¹⁴⁷¹ which have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of thee will speak,⁵⁵⁹ saying,

¹⁶ Because the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was not¹¹¹⁵ able³²⁰¹ to bring⁹³⁵ this people⁵⁹⁷¹ into the land⁷⁷⁶ which he sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them, therefore he hath slain⁷⁸¹⁹ them in the wilderness.

¹⁷^C And now, I beseech thee, let the power³⁵⁸¹ of my Lord¹³⁶ be great,¹⁴³¹ according⁸³⁴ as thou hast spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ saying,

¹⁸^C The Lord³⁰⁶⁸ is longsuffering,⁷⁵⁰⁶³⁹ and of great⁷²²⁷ mercy,²⁶¹⁷ forgiving⁵³⁷⁵ iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ and transgression,⁶⁵⁸⁸ and by no means⁵³⁵² clearing⁵³⁵² the guilty, visiting⁶⁴⁸⁵ the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of the fathers¹ upon the children¹¹²¹ unto the third⁸⁰²⁹ and fourth

¹⁹ Pardon,⁵⁵⁴⁵ I beseech thee, the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of this people⁵⁹⁷¹ according unto the greatness¹⁴³³ of thy mercy,²⁶¹⁷ and as thou hast forgiven⁵³⁷⁵ this people,⁵⁹⁷¹ from Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ even until now.

²⁰^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ I have pardoned⁵⁵⁴⁵ according to thy word:

²¹^C But as truly¹⁹⁹ as I live,²⁴¹⁶ all the earth⁷⁷⁶ shall be filled⁴³⁹⁰ with the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the Lord.

²² Because all those men⁵⁸² which have seen⁷²⁰⁰ my glory,³⁵¹⁹ and my miracles,²²⁶ which I did⁶²¹³ in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ and in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and have tempted⁵²⁵⁴⁸⁵³ me now these ten⁶²³⁵ times,⁶⁴⁷¹ and have not hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to my voice;

²³^C Surely they shall not⁵¹⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ which I sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto their fathers,¹ neither shall any of them that provoked⁵⁰⁰⁶ me see

²⁴ But my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Caleb,³⁶¹² because⁶¹¹⁸ he had another³¹² spirit⁷³⁰⁷ with him, and hath followed³¹⁰ me fully,⁴³⁹⁰ him will I bring⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ whereinto he went;⁹³⁵ and his seed²²³³ shall possess

²⁵ (Now the Amalekites⁶⁰⁰³ and the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the valley.)⁶⁰¹⁰ To morrow⁴²⁷⁹ turn⁶⁴³⁷ you, and get⁵²⁶⁵ you into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea.

²⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,

²⁷ How long shall I bear with this evil⁷⁴⁵¹ congregation,⁵⁷¹² which murmur³⁸⁸⁵ against me? I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the murmurings⁸⁵¹⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which they murmur

²⁸ Say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, As truly as³⁸⁰⁸ I live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ as ye have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ in mine ears,²⁴¹ so will I do

²⁹ Your carcases⁶²⁹⁷ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ in this wilderness;⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of you, according to your whole number,⁴⁵⁵⁷ from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ which have murmured

³⁰ Doubtless ye shall not⁵¹⁸ come⁹³⁵ into the land,⁷⁷⁶ concerning which I sware³⁰²⁷⁵³⁷⁵ to make you dwell⁷⁹³¹ therein, save Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh,³³¹² and Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun.

³¹^C But your little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ which ye said⁵⁵⁹ should be a prey,⁹⁵⁷ them will I bring in,⁹³⁵ and they shall know³⁰⁴⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ which ye have despised.

³² But as for you, your carcases,⁶²⁹⁷ they shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ in this wilderness.

³³^C And your children¹¹²¹ shall wander⁷⁴⁶² in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and bear⁵³⁷⁵ your whoredoms,²¹⁸⁴ until your carcases⁶²⁹⁷ be wasted⁸⁵⁵² in the wilderness.

³⁴^C After the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the days³¹¹⁷ in which ye searched⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land,⁷⁷⁶ even forty⁷⁰⁵ days,³¹¹⁷ each day³¹¹⁷ for a year,⁸¹⁴¹³¹¹⁷⁸¹⁴¹ shall ye bear⁵³⁷⁵ your iniquities,⁵⁷⁷¹ even forty⁷⁰⁵ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ my breach of promise.

³⁵ I the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ have said,¹⁶⁹⁶ I will surely⁵¹⁸³⁸⁰⁸ do⁶²¹³ it²⁰⁶³ unto all this evil⁷⁴⁵¹ congregation,⁵⁷¹² that are gathered together³²⁵⁹ against me: in this wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ they shall be consumed,⁸⁵⁵² and there they shall die.

³⁶ And the men,⁵⁸² which Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to search⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land,⁷⁷⁶ who returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and made all the congregation⁵⁷¹² to murmur³⁸⁸⁵³⁸⁸⁵ against him, by bringing up³³¹⁸ a slander¹⁶⁸¹ upon the land,

³⁷^C Even those⁵⁸² men⁵⁸² that did bring up³³¹⁸ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ report¹⁶⁸¹ upon the land,⁷⁷⁶ died⁴¹⁹¹ by the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

³⁸ But Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ and Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh,³³¹² which were of the men¹⁹⁹²⁵⁸² that went¹⁹⁸⁰ to search⁸⁴⁴⁶ the land,⁷⁷⁶ lived

³⁹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² told¹⁶⁹⁶ these sayings¹⁶⁹⁷ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ mourned⁵⁶ greatly.

⁴⁰ And they rose up early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and gat them up⁵⁹²⁷ into the top⁷²¹⁸ of the mountain,²⁰²² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ we be here, and will go up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the place⁴⁷²⁵ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath promised:⁵⁵⁹ for we have sinned.

⁴¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore now do ye transgress⁵⁶⁷⁴ the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord?³⁰⁶⁸ but it shall not prosper.

⁴² Go not up,⁵⁹²⁷ for the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ is not among⁷¹³⁰ you; that ye be not smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ your enemies.

⁴³ For the Amalekites⁶⁰⁰³ and the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ are there before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and ye shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword:²⁷¹⁹ because ye are turned⁷⁷²⁵ away³¹⁰ from the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ therefore the Lord

⁴⁴^C But they presumed⁶⁰⁷⁵ to go up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the hill²⁰²² top:⁷²¹⁸ nevertheless the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and Moses,⁴⁸⁷² departed⁴¹⁸⁵ not out⁷¹³⁰ of the camp.

⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites⁶⁰⁰³ came down,³³⁸¹ and the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ in that hill,²⁰²² and smote⁵²²¹ them, and discomfited³⁸⁰⁷ them, even unto Hormah.

15And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye be come⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of your habitations,⁴¹⁸⁶ which I give

³ And will make⁶²¹³ an offering by fire⁸⁰¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ or a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ in performing⁶³⁸¹ a vow,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or in a freewill offering,⁵⁰⁷¹ or in your solemn feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ to make⁶²¹³ a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ of the herd,¹²⁴¹ or of the flock:

⁴ Then shall he that offereth⁷¹²⁶ his offering⁷¹³³ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ bring⁷¹²⁶ a meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ of a tenth deal⁶²⁴¹ of flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ mingled¹¹⁰¹ with the fourth⁷²⁴³ part of an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of oil.

⁵ And the fourth⁷²⁴³ part of an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of wine³¹⁹⁶ for a drink offering⁵²⁶² shalt thou prepare⁶²¹³ with the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ or sacrifice,²⁰⁷⁷ for one²⁵⁹ lamb.

⁶ Or for a ram,³⁵² thou shalt prepare⁶²¹³ for a meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ tenth deals⁶²⁴¹ of flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ mingled¹¹⁰¹ with the third⁷⁹⁹² part of an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of oil.

⁷ And for a drink offering⁵²⁶² thou shalt offer⁷¹²⁶ the third⁷⁹⁹² part of an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ for a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord.

⁸ And when thou preparest⁶²¹³ a bullock¹¹²¹¹²⁴¹ for a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ or for a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ in performing⁶³⁸¹ a vow,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or peace offerings⁸⁰⁰² unto the Lord:

⁹ Then shall he bring⁷¹²⁶ with a bullock¹²⁴¹¹¹²¹ a meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ of three⁷⁹⁶⁹ tenth deals⁶²⁴¹ of flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ mingled¹¹⁰¹ with half²⁶⁷⁷ an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of oil.

¹⁰ And thou shalt bring⁷¹²⁶ for a drink offering⁵²⁶² half²⁶⁷⁷ an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ for an offering made by fire,⁸⁰¹ of a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord.

¹¹ Thus shall it be done⁶²¹³ for one²⁵⁹ bullock,⁷⁷⁹⁴ or for one²⁵⁹ ram,³⁵² or for a lamb,³⁵³²⁷⁷¹⁶ or a kid.

¹² According to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ that ye shall prepare,⁶²¹³ so³⁶⁰² shall ye do⁶²¹³ to every one²⁵⁹ according to their number.

¹³ All that are born of the country²⁴⁹ shall do⁶²¹³ these things after this manner, in offering⁷¹²⁶ an offering made by fire,⁸⁰¹ of a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord.

¹⁴ And if a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ sojourn¹⁴⁸¹ with you, or whosoever be among⁸⁴³² you in your generations,¹⁷⁵⁵ and will offer⁶²¹³ an offering made by fire,⁸⁰¹ of a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ as ye do,⁶²¹³ so he shall do.

¹⁵ One²⁵⁹ ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ shall be both for you of the congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ and also for the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that sojourneth¹⁴⁸¹ with you, an ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ in your generations:¹⁷⁵⁵ as ye are, so shall the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ be before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

¹⁶^C One²⁵⁹ law⁸⁴⁵¹ and one²⁵⁹ manner⁴⁹⁴¹ shall be for you, and for the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that sojourneth

¹⁷ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹⁸ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye come⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ whither I bring

¹⁹ Then it shall be, that, when ye eat³⁹⁸ of the bread³⁸⁹⁹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ ye shall offer up⁷³¹¹ an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ unto the Lord.

²⁰ Ye shall offer up⁷³¹¹ a cake²⁴⁷¹ of the first⁷²²⁵ of your dough⁶¹⁸² for an heave offering:⁸⁶⁴¹ as ye do the heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of the threshingfloor,¹⁶³⁷ so shall ye heave

²¹ Of the first⁷²²⁵ of your dough⁶¹⁸² ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ in your generations.

²² And if ye have erred,⁷⁶⁸⁶ and not observed⁶²¹³ all these commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,

²³ Even all that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ you by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² from the day³¹¹⁷ that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses, and henceforward¹⁹⁷³ among your generations;

²⁴ Then it shall be, if ought be committed⁶²¹³ by ignorance⁷⁶⁸⁴ without the knowledge⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the congregation,⁵⁷¹² that all the congregation⁵⁷¹² shall offer⁶²¹³ one²⁵⁹ young¹¹²¹¹²⁴¹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ for a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ for a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ with his meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ and his drink offering,⁵²⁶² according to the manner,⁴⁹⁴¹ and one²⁵⁹ kid⁸¹⁶³ of the goats⁵⁷⁹⁵ for a sin offering.

²⁵ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall make an atonement³⁷²² for all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and it shall be forgiven⁵⁵⁴⁵ them; for it is ignorance:⁷⁶⁸⁴ and they shall bring⁹³⁵ their offering,⁷¹³³ a sacrifice made by fire⁸⁰¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and their sin offering²⁴⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ for their ignorance:

²⁶ And it shall be forgiven⁵⁵⁴⁵ all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that sojourneth¹⁴⁸¹ among⁸⁴³² them; seeing all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were in ignorance.

²⁷ And if any²⁵⁹ soul⁵³¹⁵ sin²³⁹⁸ through ignorance,⁷⁶⁸⁴ then he shall bring⁷¹²⁶ a she goat⁵⁷⁹⁵ of the first¹³²³ year⁸¹⁴¹ for a sin offering.

²⁸ And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall make an atonement³⁷²² for the soul⁵³¹⁵ that sinneth ignorantly,⁷⁶⁸³ when he sinneth²³⁹⁸ by ignorance⁷⁶⁸⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ to make an atonement³⁷²² for him; and it shall be forgiven

²⁹ Ye shall have one²⁵⁹ law⁸⁴⁵¹ for him that sinneth⁶²¹³ through ignorance,⁷⁶⁸⁴ both for him that is born²⁴⁹ among the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and for the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that sojourneth¹⁴⁸¹ among

³⁰ But the soul⁵³¹⁵ that doeth⁶²¹³ ought presumptuously,⁷³¹¹³⁰²⁷ whether he be born in the land,²⁴⁹ or a stranger,⁴⁴⁸⁰¹⁶¹⁶ the same reproacheth¹⁴⁴² the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ and that soul⁵³¹⁵ shall be cut off³⁷⁷² from among⁷¹³⁰ his people.

³¹^C Because he hath despised⁹⁵⁹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and hath broken⁶⁵⁶⁵ his commandment,⁴⁶⁸⁷ that soul⁵³¹⁵ shall utterly³⁷⁷² be cut off;³⁷⁷² his iniquity

³²^C And while the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ they found⁴⁶⁷² a man³⁷⁶ that gathered⁷¹⁹⁷ sticks⁶⁰⁸⁶ upon the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day.

³³ And they that found⁴⁶⁷² him gathering⁷¹⁹⁷ sticks⁶⁰⁸⁶ brought⁷¹²⁶ him unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and unto all the congregation.

³⁴^C And they put³²⁴⁰ him in ward,⁴⁹²⁹ because it was not declared⁶⁵⁶⁷ what should be done

³⁵^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² The man³⁷⁶ shall be surely⁴¹⁹¹ put to death:⁴¹⁹¹ all the congregation⁵⁷¹² shall stone⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones⁶⁸ without²³⁵¹ the camp.

³⁶ And all the congregation⁵⁷¹² brought³³¹⁸ him without²³⁵¹ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones,⁶⁸ and he died;⁴¹⁹¹ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

³⁷ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

³⁸^C Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bid⁵⁵⁹ them that they make⁶²¹³ them fringes⁶⁷³⁴ in the borders³⁶⁷¹ of their garments⁸⁹⁹ throughout their generations,¹⁷⁵⁵ and that they put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon the fringe⁶⁷³⁴ of the borders³⁶⁷¹ a ribband⁶⁶¹⁶ of blue:

³⁹ And it shall be unto you for a fringe,⁶⁷³⁴ that ye may look⁷²⁰⁰ upon it, and remember²¹⁴² all the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and do⁶²¹³ them; and that ye seek⁸⁴⁴⁶ not after³¹⁰ your own heart³⁸²⁴ and your own eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ after³¹⁰ which ye use to go a whoring:

⁴⁰ That ye may remember,²¹⁴² and do⁶²¹³ all my commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ and be¹⁹⁶¹ holy⁶⁹¹⁸ unto your God.

⁴¹ I am the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ which brought you out³³¹⁸ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ to be your God:⁴³⁰ I am the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ your God.

16^CNow Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Izhar,³³²⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Kohath,⁶⁹⁵⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ and Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Eliab,⁴⁴⁶ and On,²⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Peleth,⁶⁴³¹ sons¹¹²¹ of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ took

²^C And they rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² with certain⁵⁸² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the assembly,⁵⁷¹² famous⁷¹⁴⁸ in the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ men⁵⁸² of renown:

³^C And they gathered themselves together⁶⁹⁵⁰ against Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye take too much⁷²²⁷ upon you, seeing all the congregation⁵⁷¹² are holy,⁶⁹¹⁸ every one of them, and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ is among⁸⁴³² them: wherefore then lift ye up⁵³⁷⁵ yourselves above the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of the Lord?

⁴ And when Moses⁴⁸⁷² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, he fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon his face:

⁵ And he spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Korah⁷¹⁴¹ and unto all his company,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Even to morrow¹²⁴² the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will shew³⁰⁴⁵ who are his, and who is holy;⁶⁹¹⁸ and will cause him to come near⁷¹²⁶ unto him: even him whom he hath chosen⁹⁷⁷ will he cause to come near

⁶ This do;⁶²¹³ Take³⁹⁴⁷ you censers,⁴²⁸⁹ Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and all his company;

⁷ And put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ therein,²⁰⁰⁴ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ in them before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ to morrow:⁴²⁷⁹ and it shall be that the man³⁷⁶ whom the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ doth choose,⁹⁷⁷ he shall be holy:⁶⁹¹⁸ ye take too much⁷²²⁷ upon you, ye sons¹¹²¹ of Levi.

⁸ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I pray you, ye sons¹¹²¹ of Levi:

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing⁴⁵⁹² unto you, that the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath separated⁹¹⁴ you from the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to bring you near⁷¹²⁶ to himself to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the congregation⁵⁷¹² to minister

¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near⁷¹²⁶ to him, and all thy brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ with thee: and seek¹²⁴⁵ ye the priesthood

¹¹ For which cause³⁶⁵¹ both thou and all thy company⁵⁷¹² are gathered together³²⁵⁹ against the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ and what is Aaron,¹⁷⁵ that ye murmur³⁸⁸⁵

¹²^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to call⁷¹²¹ Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Eliab:⁴⁴⁶ which said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not come up:

¹³ Is it a small thing⁴⁵⁹² that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast brought us up⁵⁹²⁷ out of a land⁷⁷⁶ that floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ to kill⁴¹⁹¹ us in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ except thou make⁸³²³ thyself altogether⁸³²³ a prince

¹⁴ Moreover⁶³⁷ thou hast not brought⁹³⁵ us into a land⁷⁷⁶ that floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ or given⁵⁴¹⁴ us inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ and vineyards:³⁷⁵⁴ wilt thou put out⁵³⁶⁵ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of these men?⁵⁸² we will not come up.

¹⁵ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² was very³⁹⁶⁶ wroth,²⁷³⁴ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ Respect⁶⁴³⁷ not thou their offering:⁴⁵⁰³ I have not taken⁵³⁷⁵ one²⁵⁹ ass²⁵⁴³ from them, neither have I hurt⁷⁴⁸⁹ one

¹⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Be thou and all thy company⁵⁷¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ thou, and they, and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ to morrow:

¹⁷^C And take³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ in them, and bring⁷¹²⁶ ye before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² censers;⁴²⁸⁹ thou also, and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ each³⁷⁶ of you his censer.

¹⁸ And they took³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ in them, and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ thereon, and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ with Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron.

¹⁹ And Korah⁷¹⁴¹ gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ all the congregation⁵⁷¹² against them unto the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto all the congregation.

²⁰ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,

²¹ Separate⁹¹⁴ yourselves from among⁸⁴³² this congregation,⁵⁷¹² that I may consume³⁶¹⁵ them in a moment.

²²^C And they fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon their faces,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O God,⁴¹⁰ the God⁴³⁰ of the spirits⁷³⁰⁷ of all flesh,¹³²⁰ shall one²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ sin,²³⁹⁸ and wilt thou be wroth⁷¹⁰⁷ with all the congregation?

²³ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²⁴ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the congregation,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Get you up⁵⁹²⁷ from about⁵⁴³⁹ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Dathan,¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram.

²⁵ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² unto Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram;⁴⁸ and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ followed³²¹² him.

²⁶ And he spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the congregation,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Depart,⁵⁴⁹³ I pray you, from the tents¹⁶⁸ of these wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men,⁵⁸² and touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed⁵⁵⁹⁵ in all their sins.

²⁷ So they gat up⁵⁹²⁷ from the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Dathan,¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ on every side:⁵⁴³⁹ and Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram⁴⁸ came out,³³¹⁸ and stood⁵³²⁴ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of their tents,¹⁶⁸ and their wives,⁸⁰² and their sons,¹¹²¹ and their little children.

²⁸ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ Hereby ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me to do⁶²¹³ all these works;⁴⁶³⁹ for I have not done them of mine own mind.

²⁹ If these men die⁴¹⁹¹ the common death⁴¹⁹⁴ of all men,¹²⁰ or if they be visited⁶⁴⁸⁵ after the visitation⁶⁴⁸⁶ of all men;¹²⁰ then the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath not sent

³⁰^C But if the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ make¹²⁵⁴ a new thing,¹²⁷⁸ and the earth¹²⁷ open⁶⁴⁷⁵ her mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and swallow them up,¹¹⁰⁴ with all that appertain unto them, and they go down³³⁸¹ quick²⁴¹⁶ into the pit;⁷⁵⁸⁵ then ye shall understand³⁰⁴⁵ that these men⁵⁸² have provoked⁵⁰⁰⁶ the Lord.

³¹ And it came to pass, as he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of speaking¹⁶⁹⁶ all these words,¹⁶⁹⁷ that the ground¹²⁷ clave asunder

³²^C And the earth⁷⁷⁶ opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ her mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and swallowed them up,¹¹⁰⁴ and their houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ and all the men¹²⁰ that appertained unto Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and all their goods.

³³^C They, and all that appertained to them, went down³³⁸¹ alive²⁴¹⁶ into the pit,⁷⁵⁸⁵ and the earth⁷⁷⁶ closed³⁶⁸⁰ upon them: and they perished⁶ from among⁸⁴³² the congregation.

³⁴ And all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were round about⁵⁴³⁹ them fled⁵¹²⁷ at the cry⁶⁹⁶³ of them: for they said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest the earth⁷⁷⁶ swallow us up

³⁵ And there came out³³¹⁸ a fire⁷⁸⁴ from the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and consumed³⁹⁸ the two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² men³⁷⁶ that offered⁷¹²⁶ incense.

³⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

³⁷ Speak⁵⁵⁹ unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ that he take up⁷³¹¹ the censers⁴²⁸⁹ out⁹⁹⁶ of the burning,⁸³¹⁶ and scatter²²¹⁹ thou the fire⁷⁸⁴ yonder;¹⁹⁷³ for they are hallowed.

³⁸ The censers⁴²⁸⁹ of these sinners²⁴⁰⁰ against their own souls,⁵³¹⁵ let them make⁶²¹³ them broad⁷⁵⁵⁵ plates⁶³⁴¹ for a covering⁶⁸²⁶ of the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶ for they offered⁷¹²⁶ them before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ therefore they are hallowed:⁶⁹⁴² and they shall be a sign²²⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

³⁹ And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ censers,⁴²⁸⁹ wherewith they that were burnt⁸³¹³ had offered;⁷¹²⁶ and they were made broad⁷⁵⁵⁴ plates for a covering⁶⁸²⁶ of the altar:

⁴⁰ To be a memorial²¹⁴⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴⁴⁶¹⁶ no stranger,³⁷⁶²¹¹⁴ which is not of the seed²²³³ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ come near⁷¹²⁶ to offer⁶⁹⁹⁹ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ that he be not as Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and as his company:⁵⁷¹² as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said¹⁶⁹⁶ to him by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

⁴¹^C But on the morrow⁴²⁸³ all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ murmured³⁸⁸⁵ against Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye have killed⁴¹⁹¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the Lord.

⁴² And it came to pass, when the congregation⁵⁷¹² was gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ against Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against Aaron,¹⁷⁵ that they looked⁶⁴³⁷ toward the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and, behold, the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ covered³⁶⁸⁰ it, and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ appeared.

⁴³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ came⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

⁴⁴ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

⁴⁵ Get you up⁷⁴²⁶ from among⁸⁴³² this congregation,⁵⁷¹² that I may consume³⁶¹⁵ them as in a moment.⁷²⁸¹ And they fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon their faces.

⁴⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Take³⁹⁴⁷ a censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ therein from off⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ on incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and go³²¹² quickly⁴¹²⁰ unto the congregation,⁵⁷¹² and make an atonement³⁷²² for them: for there is wrath⁷¹¹⁰ gone out³³¹⁸ from the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ the plague⁵⁰⁶³ is begun.

⁴⁷ And Aaron¹⁷⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ as Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded,¹⁶⁹⁶ and ran⁷³²³ into the midst⁸⁴³² of the congregation;⁶⁹⁵¹ and, behold, the plague⁵⁰⁶³ was begun²⁴⁹⁰ among the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and he put⁵⁴¹⁴ on incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and made an atonement³⁷²² for the people.

⁴⁸ And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ between the dead⁴¹⁹¹ and the living;²⁴¹⁶ and the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed.

⁴⁹ Now they that died⁴¹⁹¹ in the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ were fourteen⁷⁰²⁶²⁴⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ beside them that died⁴¹⁹¹ about the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Korah.

⁵⁰ And Aaron¹⁷⁵ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² unto the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed.

17And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²^C Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and take³⁹⁴⁷ of every one of them a rod⁴²⁹⁴⁴²⁹⁴ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ of all their princes⁵³⁸⁷ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers¹ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷⁶²⁴⁰ rods:⁴²⁹⁴ write³⁷⁸⁹ thou every man's³⁷⁶ name⁸⁰³⁴ upon his rod.

³ And thou shalt write³⁷⁸⁹ Aaron's¹⁷⁵ name⁸⁰³⁴ upon the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Levi:³⁸⁷⁸ for one²⁵⁹ rod⁴²⁹⁴ shall be for the head⁷²¹⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers.

⁴ And thou shalt lay them up³²⁴⁰ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ where I will meet

⁵ And it shall come to pass, that the man's³⁷⁶ rod,⁴²⁹⁴ whom I shall choose,⁹⁷⁷ shall blossom:⁶⁵²⁴ and I will make to cease⁷⁹¹⁸ from me the murmurings⁸⁵¹⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whereby they murmur

⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and every one of their princes⁵³⁸⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him a rod⁴²⁹⁴⁴²⁹⁴ apiece, for each prince⁵³⁸⁷⁵³⁸⁷ one,²⁵⁹²⁵⁹ according to their fathers'¹ houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ even twelve⁶²⁴⁰⁸¹⁴⁷ rods:⁴²⁹⁴ and the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ was among⁸⁴³² their rods.

⁷ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² laid up³²⁴⁰ the rods⁴²⁹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness.

⁸^C And it came to pass, that on the morrow⁴²⁸³ Moses⁴⁸⁷² went⁹³⁵ into the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness;⁵⁷¹⁵ and, behold, the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ was budded,⁶⁵²⁴ and brought forth³³¹⁸ buds,⁶⁵²⁵ and bloomed⁶⁶⁹² blossoms,⁶⁷³¹ and yielded¹⁵⁸⁰ almonds.

⁹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² brought out³³¹⁸ all the rods⁴²⁹⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and they looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and took³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his rod.

¹⁰^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Bring⁷⁷²⁵ Aaron's¹⁷⁵ rod⁴²⁹⁴ again⁷⁷²⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ to be kept⁴⁹³¹ for a token²²⁶ against the rebels;⁴⁸⁰⁵¹¹²¹ and thou shalt quite take away³⁶¹⁵ their murmurings⁸⁵¹⁹ from me, that they die

¹¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² did⁶²¹³ so: as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him, so did

¹² And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, we die,¹⁴⁷⁸ we perish,⁶ we all perish.

¹³^C Whosoever cometh any thing near⁷¹³¹ unto the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall die:⁴¹⁹¹ shall we be consumed⁸⁵⁵² with dying?

18^CAnd the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Thou and thy sons¹¹²¹ and thy father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ with thee shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of the sanctuary:⁴⁷²⁰ and thou and thy sons¹¹²¹ with thee shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of your priesthood.

² And thy brethren²⁵¹ also of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of thy father,¹ bring⁷¹²⁶ thou with thee, that they may be joined³⁸⁶⁷ unto thee, and minister⁸³³⁴ unto thee: but thou and thy sons¹¹²¹ with thee shall minister before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness.

³ And they shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ thy charge,⁴⁹³¹ and the charge⁴⁹³¹ of all the tabernacle:¹⁶⁸ only they shall not come nigh⁷¹²⁶ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the sanctuary⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that neither they, nor ye also, die.

⁴ And they shall be joined³⁸⁶⁷ unto thee, and keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ for all the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle:¹⁶⁸ and a stranger²¹¹⁴ shall not come nigh

⁵ And ye shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶ that there be no wrath⁷¹¹⁰ any more upon the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁶ And I, behold, I have taken³⁹⁴⁷ your brethren²⁵¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ from among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ to you they are given⁵⁴¹⁴ as a gift⁴⁹⁷⁹ for the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

⁷ Therefore thou and thy sons¹¹²¹ with thee shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ your priest's office³⁵⁵⁰ for every thing¹⁶⁹⁷ of the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and within¹⁰⁰⁴ the vail;⁶⁵³² and ye shall serve:⁵⁶⁴⁷ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ your priest's office³⁵⁵⁰ unto you as a service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of gift:⁴⁹⁷⁹ and the stranger²¹¹⁴ that cometh nigh⁷¹³¹ shall be put to death.

⁸ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Behold, I also have given⁵⁴¹⁴ thee the charge⁴⁹³¹ of mine heave offerings⁸⁶⁴¹ of all the hallowed things⁶⁹⁴⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ unto thee have I given⁵⁴¹⁴ them by reason of the anointing,⁴⁸⁸⁸ and to thy sons,¹¹²¹ by an ordinance²⁷⁰⁶ for ever.

⁹^C This shall be thine of the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy things,⁶⁹⁴⁴ reserved from the fire:⁷⁸⁴ every oblation⁷¹³³ of theirs, every meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ of theirs, and every sin offering²⁴⁰³ of theirs, and every trespass offering⁸¹⁷ of theirs, which they shall render⁷⁷²⁵ unto me, shall be most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ for thee and for thy sons.

¹⁰^C In the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place shalt thou eat³⁹⁸ it; every male²¹⁴⁵ shall eat³⁹⁸ it: it shall be holy

¹¹ And this is thine; the heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of their gift,⁴⁹⁷⁶ with all the wave offerings⁸⁵⁷³ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto thee, and to thy sons¹¹²¹ and to thy daughters¹³²³ with thee, by a statute²⁷⁰⁶ for ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ every one that is clean²⁸⁸⁹ in thy house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall eat

¹² All the best²⁴⁵⁹ of the oil,³³²³ and all the best²⁴⁵⁹ of the wine,⁸⁴⁹² and of the wheat,¹⁷¹⁵ the firstfruits⁷²²⁵ of them which they shall offer⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ them have I given

¹³ And whatsoever is first ripe¹⁰⁶¹ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ which they shall bring⁹³⁵ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ shall be thine; every one that is clean²⁸⁸⁹ in thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall eat

¹⁴ Every thing devoted²⁷⁶⁴ in Israel

¹⁵ Every thing that openeth⁶³⁶³ the matrix⁷³⁵⁸ in all flesh,¹³²⁰ which they bring⁷¹²⁶ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ whether it be of men¹²⁰ or beasts,⁹²⁹ shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ of man¹²⁰ shalt thou surely⁶²⁹⁹ redeem,⁶²⁹⁹ and the firstling¹⁰⁶⁰ of unclean²⁹³¹ beasts⁹²⁹ shalt thou redeem.

¹⁶ And those that are to be redeemed⁶²⁹⁹ from a month²³²⁰ old¹¹²¹ shalt thou redeem,⁶²⁹⁹ according to thine estimation,⁶¹⁸⁷ for the money³⁷⁰¹ of five²⁵⁶⁸ shekels,⁸²⁵⁵ after the shekel⁸²⁵⁵ of the sanctuary,⁶⁹⁴⁴ which is twenty⁶²⁴² gerahs.

¹⁷ But the firstling¹⁰⁶⁰ of a cow,⁷⁷⁹⁴ or the firstling¹⁰⁶⁰ of a sheep,³⁷⁷⁵ or the firstling¹⁰⁶⁰ of a goat,⁵⁷⁹⁵ thou shalt not redeem;⁶²⁹⁹ they are holy:⁶⁹⁴⁴ thou shalt sprinkle²²³⁶ their blood¹⁸¹⁸ upon the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and shalt burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ their fat²⁴⁵⁹ for an offering made by fire,⁸⁰¹ for a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord.

¹⁸ And the flesh¹³²⁰ of them shall be thine, as the wave⁸⁵⁷³ breast²³⁷³ and as the right³²²⁵ shoulder

¹⁹^C All the heave offerings⁸⁶⁴¹ of the holy things,⁶⁹⁴⁴ which the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ offer⁷³¹¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ have I given⁵⁴¹⁴ thee, and thy sons¹¹²¹ and thy daughters¹³²³ with thee, by a statute²⁷⁰⁶ for ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ it is a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of salt⁴⁴¹⁷ for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ unto thee and to thy seed

²⁰ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Thou shalt have no inheritance⁵¹⁵⁷ in their land,⁷⁷⁶ neither shalt thou have any part²⁵⁰⁶ among⁸⁴³² them: I am thy part²⁵⁰⁶ and thine inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

²¹ And, behold, I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ the children¹¹²¹ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ all the tenth⁴⁶⁴³ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ for an inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ for²⁵⁰⁰ their service⁵⁶⁵⁶ which they serve,⁵⁶⁴⁷ even the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

²² Neither must the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ henceforth⁵⁷⁵⁰ come nigh⁷¹²⁶ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ lest they bear⁵³⁷⁵ sin,²³⁹⁹ and die.

²³^C But the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall do⁵⁶⁴⁷ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and they shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ their iniquity:⁵⁷⁷¹ it shall be a statute²⁷⁰⁸ for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ throughout your generations,¹⁷⁵⁵ that among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ they have⁵¹⁵⁷ no inheritance.

²⁴ But the tithes⁴⁶⁴³ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which they offer⁷³¹¹ as an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ to the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to inherit:⁵¹⁵⁹ therefore I have said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ they shall have⁵¹⁵⁷ no inheritance.

²⁵ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²⁶ Thus speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye take³⁹⁴⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ the tithes⁴⁶⁴³ which I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ you from them for your inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ then ye shall offer⁷³¹¹ up an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of it for the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ even a tenth⁴⁶⁴³ part of the tithe.

²⁷ And this your heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ shall be reckoned²⁸⁰³ unto you, as though it were the corn¹⁷¹⁵ of the threshingfloor,¹⁶³⁷ and as the fulness⁴³⁹⁵ of the winepress.

²⁸ Thus ye also shall offer⁷³¹¹ an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ of all your tithes,⁴⁶⁴³ which ye receive³⁹⁴⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thereof the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ to Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest.

²⁹ Out of all your gifts⁴⁹⁷⁹ ye shall offer⁷³¹¹ every heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ of all the best²⁴⁵⁹ thereof, even the hallowed part

³⁰ Therefore thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye have heaved⁷³¹¹ the best²⁴⁵⁹ thereof from it, then it shall be counted²⁸⁰³ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ as the increase⁸³⁹³ of the threshingfloor,¹⁶³⁷ and as the increase⁸³⁹³ of the winepress.

³¹ And ye shall eat³⁹⁸ it in every place,⁴⁷²⁵ ye and your households:¹⁰⁰⁴ for it is your reward⁷⁹³⁹ for²⁵⁰⁰ your service⁵⁶⁵⁶ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

³² And ye shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ no sin²³⁹⁹ by reason of it, when ye have heaved⁷³¹¹ from it the best²⁴⁵⁹ of it: neither shall ye pollute²⁴⁹⁰ the holy things⁶⁹⁴⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ lest ye die.

19And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,

²^C This is the ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they bring³⁹⁴⁷ thee a red¹²² heifer⁶⁵¹⁰ without spot,⁸⁵⁴⁹ wherein is no blemish,³⁹⁷¹ and upon which never³⁸⁰⁸ came⁵⁹²⁷ yoke:

³^C And ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ her unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ that he may bring her forth³³¹⁸ without²³⁵¹ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and one shall slay⁷⁸¹⁹ her before

⁴^C And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take³⁹⁴⁷ of her blood¹⁸¹⁸ with his finger,⁶⁷⁶ and sprinkle⁵¹³⁷ of her blood¹⁸¹⁸ directly⁵²²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ times:

⁵ And one shall burn⁸³¹³ the heifer⁶⁵¹⁰ in his sight;⁵⁸⁶⁹ her skin,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and her flesh,¹³²⁰ and her blood,¹⁸¹⁸ with her dung,⁶⁵⁶⁹ shall he burn:

⁶^C And the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall take³⁹⁴⁷ cedar⁷³⁰ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and hyssop,²³¹ and scarlet,⁸⁴³⁸⁸¹⁴⁴ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ it into the midst⁸⁴³² of the burning⁸³¹⁶ of the heifer.

⁷ Then the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall wash³⁵²⁶ his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and he shall bathe⁷³⁶⁴ his flesh¹³²⁰ in water,⁴³²⁵ and afterward³¹⁰ he shall come⁹³⁵ into the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and the priest³⁵⁴⁸ shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ until the even.

⁸ And he that burneth⁸³¹³ her shall wash³⁵²⁶ his clothes⁸⁹⁹ in water,⁴³²⁵ and bathe⁷³⁶⁴ his flesh¹³²⁰ in water,⁴³²⁵ and shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ until the even.

⁹^C And a man³⁷⁶ that is clean²⁸⁸⁹ shall gather⁶²² up the ashes⁶⁶⁵ of the heifer,⁶⁵¹⁰ and lay them up³²⁴⁰ without²³⁵¹ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ in a clean²⁸⁸⁹ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and it shall be kept⁴⁹³¹ for the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ for a water⁴³²⁵ of separation:⁵⁰⁷⁹ it is a purification for sin.

¹⁰ And he that gathereth⁶²² the ashes⁶⁶⁵ of the heifer⁶⁵¹⁰ shall wash³⁵²⁶ his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and be unclean²⁹³⁰ until the even:⁶¹⁵³ and it shall be unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and unto the stranger¹⁶¹⁶ that sojourneth¹⁴⁸¹ among⁸⁴³² them, for a statute²⁷⁰⁸ for ever.

¹¹^C He that toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ the dead⁴¹⁹¹ body⁵³¹⁵ of any man¹²⁰ shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.

¹² He shall purify²³⁹⁸ himself with it on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ and on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day³¹¹⁷ he shall be clean:²⁸⁹¹ but if he purify²³⁹⁸ not himself the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ then the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day³¹¹⁷ he shall not be clean.

¹³ Whosoever toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ the dead⁴¹⁹¹ body⁵³¹⁵ of any man¹²⁰ that is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and purifieth²³⁹⁸ not himself, defileth²⁹³⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ and that soul⁵³¹⁵ shall be cut off³⁷⁷² from Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ because the water⁴³²⁵ of separation⁵⁰⁷⁹ was not sprinkled²²³⁶ upon him, he shall be unclean;²⁹³¹ his uncleanness

¹⁴ This is the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ when a man¹²⁰ dieth⁴¹⁹¹ in a tent:¹⁶⁸ all that come⁹³⁵ into the tent,¹⁶⁸ and all that is in the tent,¹⁶⁸ shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.

¹⁵ And every open⁶⁶⁰⁵ vessel,³⁶²⁷ which hath no covering⁶⁷⁸¹ bound⁶⁶¹⁶ upon it, is unclean.

¹⁶^C And whosoever toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ one that is slain²⁴⁹¹ with a sword²⁷¹⁹ in the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ or a dead body,⁴¹⁹¹ or a bone⁶¹⁰⁶ of a man,¹²⁰ or a grave,⁶⁹¹³ shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.

¹⁷ And for an unclean²⁹³¹ person they shall take³⁹⁴⁷ of the ashes⁶⁰⁸³ of the burnt heifer⁸³¹⁶ of purification for sin,²⁴⁰³ and running²⁴¹⁶ water⁴³²⁵ shall be put⁵⁴¹⁴ thereto in a vessel:

¹⁸ And a clean²⁸⁸⁹ person³⁷⁶ shall take³⁹⁴⁷ hyssop,²³¹ and dip²⁸⁸¹ it in the water,⁴³²⁵ and sprinkle⁵¹³⁷ it upon the tent,¹⁶⁸ and upon all the vessels,³⁶²⁷ and upon the persons⁵³¹⁵ that were there, and upon him that touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ a bone,⁶¹⁰⁶ or one slain,²⁴⁹¹ or one dead,⁴¹⁹¹ or a grave:

¹⁹^C And the clean²⁸⁸⁹ person shall sprinkle⁵¹³⁷ upon the unclean²⁹³¹ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ and on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day:³¹¹⁷ and on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day³¹¹⁷ he shall purify²³⁹⁸ himself, and wash³⁵²⁶ his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and bathe⁷³⁶⁴ himself in water,⁴³²⁵ and shall be clean²⁸⁹¹ at even.

²⁰ But the man³⁷⁶ that shall be unclean,²⁹³⁰ and shall not purify²³⁹⁸ himself, that soul⁵³¹⁵ shall be cut off³⁷⁷² from among⁸⁴³² the congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ because he hath defiled²⁹³⁰ the sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ of the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ the water⁴³²⁵ of separation⁵⁰⁷⁹ hath not been sprinkled²²³⁶ upon him; he is unclean.

²¹ And it shall be a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ statute²⁷⁰⁸ unto them, that he that sprinkleth⁵¹³⁷ the water⁴³²⁵ of separation⁵⁰⁷⁹ shall wash³⁵²⁶ his clothes;⁸⁹⁹ and he that toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ the water⁴³²⁵ of separation⁵⁰⁷⁹ shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ until even.

²² And whatsoever the unclean²⁹³¹ person toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ shall be unclean;²⁹³⁰ and the soul⁵³¹⁵ that toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ it shall be unclean²⁹³⁰ until even.

20^CThen came⁹³⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ even the whole congregation,⁵⁷¹² into the desert⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Zin⁶⁷⁹⁰ in the first⁷²²³ month:²³²⁰ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ abode³⁴²⁷ in Kadesh;⁶⁹⁴⁶ and Miriam⁴⁸¹³ died⁴¹⁹¹ there, and was buried

² And there was no water⁴³²⁵ for the congregation:⁵⁷¹² and they gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ themselves together against Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against Aaron.

³^C And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ chode⁷³⁷⁸ with Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and spake,⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Would God that³⁸⁶³ we had died¹⁴⁷⁸ when our brethren²⁵¹ died¹⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord!

⁴ And why have ye brought up⁹³⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ into this wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that we and our cattle¹¹⁶⁵ should die

⁵ And wherefore have ye made us to come up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ to bring⁹³⁵ us in unto this evil⁷⁴⁵¹ place?⁴⁷²⁵ it is no place⁴⁷²⁵ of seed,²²³³ or of figs,⁸³⁸⁴ or of vines,¹⁶¹² or of pomegranates;⁷⁴¹⁶ neither is there any water⁴³²⁵ to drink.

⁶^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ went⁹³⁵ from the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the assembly⁶⁹⁵¹ unto the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and they fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon their faces:⁶⁴⁴⁰ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ appeared

⁷ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

⁸^C Take³⁹⁴⁷ the rod,⁴²⁹⁴ and gather⁶⁹⁵⁰ thou the assembly⁵⁷¹² together, thou, and Aaron¹⁷⁵ thy brother,²⁵¹ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ ye unto the rock⁵⁵⁵³ before their eyes;⁵⁸⁶⁹ and it shall give forth⁵⁴¹⁴ his water,⁴³²⁵ and thou shalt bring forth³³¹⁸ to them water⁴³²⁵ out of the rock:⁵⁵⁵³ so thou shalt give⁸²⁴⁸ the congregation⁵⁷¹² and their beasts¹¹⁶⁵ drink.

⁹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ the rod⁴²⁹⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ as he commanded

¹⁰^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ together before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now, ye rebels;⁴⁷⁸⁴ must we fetch³³¹⁸ you water⁴³²⁵ out of this rock?

¹¹^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² lifted up⁷³¹¹ his hand,³⁰²⁷ and with his rod⁴²⁹⁴ he smote⁵²²¹ the rock⁵⁵⁵³ twice:⁶⁴⁷¹ and the water⁴³²⁵ came out³³¹⁸ abundantly,⁷²²⁷ and the congregation⁵⁷¹² drank,⁸³⁵⁴ and their beasts

¹²^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Because ye believed⁵³⁹ me not, to sanctify⁶⁹⁴² me in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ therefore ye shall not bring⁹³⁵ this congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ into the land⁷⁷⁶ which I have given

¹³ This is¹⁹⁹² the water⁴³²⁵ of Meribah;⁴⁸⁰⁹ because the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ strove⁷³⁷⁸ with the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and he was sanctified

¹⁴^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ from Kadesh⁶⁹⁴⁶ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom,¹²³ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ thy brother²⁵¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ all the travail⁸⁵¹³ that hath befallen

¹⁵ How our fathers¹ went down³³⁸¹ into Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and we have dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ a long⁷²²⁷ time;³¹¹⁷ and the Egyptians⁴⁷¹⁴ vexed⁷⁴⁸⁹ us, and our fathers:

¹⁶ And when we cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ our voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ an angel,⁴³⁹⁷ and hath brought us forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ and, behold, we are in Kadesh,⁶⁹⁴⁶ a city⁵⁸⁹² in the uttermost⁷⁰⁹⁷ of thy border:

¹⁷ Let us pass,⁵⁶⁷⁴ I pray thee, through thy country:⁷⁷⁶ we will not pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ or through the vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ neither will we drink⁸³⁵⁴ of the water⁴³²⁵ of the wells:⁸⁷⁵ we will go³²¹² by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ high way,¹⁸⁷⁰ we will not turn⁵¹⁸⁶ to the right hand³²²⁵ nor to the left,⁸⁰⁴⁰ until we have passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ thy borders.

¹⁸ And Edom¹²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thou shalt not pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ by me, lest I come out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ thee with the sword.

¹⁹ And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, We will go⁵⁹²⁷ by the high way:⁴⁵⁴⁶ and if I and my cattle⁴⁷³⁵ drink⁸³⁵⁴ of thy water,⁴³²⁵ then I will pay⁵⁴¹⁴⁴³⁷⁷ for it: I will only, without doing any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ else, go through⁵⁶⁷⁴ on my feet.

²⁰ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not go through.⁵⁶⁷⁴ And Edom¹²³ came out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ him with much³⁵¹⁵ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and with a strong²³⁸⁹ hand.

²¹^C Thus Edom¹²³ refused³⁹⁸⁵ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ passage⁵⁶⁷⁴ through his border:¹³⁶⁶ wherefore Israel³⁴⁷⁸ turned away

²² And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ even the whole congregation,⁵⁷¹² journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ from Kadesh,⁶⁹⁴⁶ and came⁹³⁵ unto mount²⁰²² Hor.

²³ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ in mount²⁰²² Hor,²⁰²³ by the coast¹³⁶⁶ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom,¹²³ saying,

²⁴ Aaron¹⁷⁵ shall be gathered⁶²² unto his people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for he shall not enter⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ which I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because ye rebelled against⁴⁷⁸⁴ my word⁶³¹⁰ at the water⁴³²⁵ of Meribah.

²⁵ Take³⁹⁴⁷ Aaron¹⁷⁵ and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ his son,¹¹²¹ and bring them up⁵⁹²⁷ unto mount²⁰²² Hor:

²⁶ And strip⁶⁵⁸⁴ Aaron¹⁷⁵ of his garments,⁸⁹⁹ and put³⁸⁴⁷ them upon Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ his son:¹¹²¹ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ shall be gathered⁶²² unto his people, and shall die

²⁷ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² did⁶²¹³ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded:⁶⁶⁸⁰ and they went up⁵⁹²⁷ into mount²⁰²² Hor²⁰²³ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all the congregation.

²⁸ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² stripped⁶⁵⁸⁴ Aaron¹⁷⁵ of his garments,⁸⁹⁹ and put³⁸⁴⁷ them upon Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ his son;¹¹²¹ and Aaron¹⁷⁵ died⁴¹⁹¹ there in the top⁷²¹⁸ of the mount:²⁰²² and Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ came down³³⁸¹ from the mount.

²⁹ And when all the congregation⁵⁷¹² saw⁷²⁰⁰ that Aaron¹⁷⁵ was dead,¹⁴⁷⁸ they mourned¹⁰⁵⁸ for Aaron¹⁷⁵ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ days,³¹¹⁷ even all the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel.

21And when king⁴⁴²⁸ Arad⁶¹⁶⁶ the Canaanite,³⁶⁶⁹ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ tell that Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the spies;⁸⁷¹ then he fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and took⁷⁶¹⁷ some of them prisoners.

²^C And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ vowed⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ If thou wilt indeed⁵⁴¹⁴ deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ this people⁵⁹⁷¹ into my hand,³⁰²⁷ then I will utterly destroy²⁷⁶³ their cities.

³^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and delivered up⁵⁴¹⁴ the Canaanites;³⁶⁶⁹ and they utterly destroyed²⁷⁶³ them and their cities:⁵⁸⁹² and he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the place⁴⁷²⁵ Hormah.

⁴^C And they journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ from mount²⁰²² Hor²⁰²³ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea,³²²⁰ to compass⁵⁴³⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom:¹²³ and the soul⁵³¹⁵ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ was much discouraged⁷¹¹⁴ because of the way.

⁵^C And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ against God,⁴³⁰ and against Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Wherefore have ye brought us up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ to die⁴¹⁹¹ in the wilderness?⁴⁰⁵⁷ for there is no bread,³⁸⁹⁹ neither is there any water;⁴³²⁵ and our soul⁵³¹⁵ loatheth⁶⁹⁷³ this light⁷⁰⁵² bread.

⁶^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ fiery⁸³¹⁴ serpents⁵¹⁷⁵ among the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and they bit⁵³⁹¹ the people;⁵⁹⁷¹ and much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ died.

⁷^C Therefore the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ for we have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ against the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and against thee; pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ that he take away⁵⁴⁹³ the serpents⁵¹⁷⁵ from us. And Moses⁴⁸⁷² prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ for the people.

⁸^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Make⁶²¹³ thee a fiery serpent,⁸³¹⁴ and set⁷⁷⁶⁰ it upon a pole:⁵²⁵¹ and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten,⁵³⁹¹ when he looketh⁷²⁰⁰ upon it, shall live.

⁹^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² made⁶²¹³ a serpent⁵¹⁷⁵ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it upon a pole,⁵²⁵¹ and it came to pass, that if a serpent⁵¹⁷⁵ had bitten⁵³⁹¹ any man,³⁷⁶ when he beheld⁵⁰²⁷ the serpent⁵¹⁷⁵ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ he lived.

¹⁰ And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in Oboth.

¹¹^C And they journeyed⁵²⁶⁵ from Oboth,⁸⁸ and pitched²⁵⁸³ at Ijeabarim,⁵⁸⁶³ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ which is before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moab,⁴¹²⁴ toward the sunrising.⁴²¹⁷

¹² From thence they removed,⁵²⁶⁵ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in the valley⁵¹⁵⁸ of Zared.

¹³ From thence they removed,⁵²⁶⁵ and pitched²⁵⁸³ on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ of Arnon,⁷⁶⁹ which is in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ that cometh out³³¹⁸ of the coasts¹³⁶⁶ of the Amorites:⁵⁶⁷ for Arnon⁷⁶⁹ is the border¹³⁶⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ between Moab⁴¹²⁴ and the Amorites.

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said⁵⁵⁹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of the wars⁴⁴²¹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ What he did²⁰⁵² in the Red sea,⁵⁴⁹² and in the brooks⁵¹⁵⁸ of Arnon,

¹⁵ And at the stream⁷⁹³ of the brooks⁵¹⁵⁸ that goeth down⁵¹⁸⁶ to the dwelling³⁴²⁷ of Ar,⁶¹⁴⁴ and lieth⁸¹⁷² upon the border¹³⁶⁶ of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence they went to Beer:⁸⁷⁶ that is the well⁸⁷⁵ whereof the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Gather⁶²² the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶²² and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ them water.

¹⁷ Then Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sang⁷⁸⁹¹ this song,⁷⁸⁹² Spring up,⁵⁹²⁷ O well;⁸⁷⁵ sing

¹⁸ The princes⁸²⁶⁹ digged²⁶⁵⁸ the well,⁸⁷⁵ the nobles⁵⁰⁸¹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ digged³⁷³⁸ it, by the direction of the lawgiver,²⁷¹⁰ with their staves.⁴⁹³⁸ And from the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ they went to Mattanah:

¹⁹ And from Mattanah⁴⁹⁸⁰ to Nahaliel:⁵¹⁶⁰ and from Nahaliel⁵¹⁶⁰ to Bamoth:

²⁰ And from Bamoth¹¹²⁰ in the valley,¹⁵¹⁶ that is in the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ to the top⁷²¹⁸ of Pisgah,⁶⁴⁴⁹ which looketh⁸²⁵⁹ toward⁶⁴⁴⁰ Jeshimon.

²¹ And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ saying,

²² Let me pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through thy land:⁷⁷⁶ we will not turn⁵¹⁸⁶ into the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ or into the vineyards;³⁷⁵⁴ we will not drink⁸³⁵⁴ of the waters⁴³²⁵ of the well:⁸⁷⁵ but we will go along³²¹² by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ high way,¹⁸⁷⁰ until we be past⁵⁶⁷⁴ thy borders.

²³ And Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ would not suffer⁵⁴¹⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through his border:¹³⁶⁶ but Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ gathered⁶²² all his people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶²² and went out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ into the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ and he came⁹³⁵ to Jahaz,³⁰⁹⁶ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel.

²⁴ And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ smote⁵²²¹ him with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and possessed³⁴²³ his land⁷⁷⁶ from Arnon⁷⁶⁹ unto Jabbok,²⁹⁹⁹ even unto the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon:⁵⁹⁸³ for the border¹³⁶⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ was strong.

²⁵ And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ all these cities:⁵⁸⁹² and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in all the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ in Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and in all the villages

²⁶ For Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ was the city⁵⁸⁹² of Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ who had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against the former⁷²²³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and taken³⁹⁴⁷ all his land⁷⁷⁶ out of his hand,³⁰²⁷ even unto Arnon.

²⁷ Wherefore they that speak in proverbs⁴⁹¹¹ say,⁵⁵⁹ Come⁹³⁵ into Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ let the city⁵⁸⁹² of Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ be built¹¹²⁹ and prepared:

²⁸ For there is a fire⁷⁸⁴ gone out³³¹⁸ of Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ a flame³⁸⁵² from the city⁷¹⁵¹ of Sihon:⁵⁵¹¹ it hath consumed³⁹⁸ Ar⁶¹⁴⁴ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the lords of the high places¹¹⁸¹ of Arnon.

²⁹ Woe¹⁸⁸ to thee, Moab!⁴¹²⁴ thou art undone,⁶ O people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Chemosh:³⁶⁴⁵ he hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ his sons¹¹²¹ that escaped,⁶⁴¹² and his daughters,¹³²³ into captivity⁷⁶²² unto Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites.

³⁰ We have shot³³⁸⁴ at them; Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ is perished⁶ even unto Dibon,¹⁷⁶⁹ and we have laid them waste⁸⁰⁷⁴ even unto Nophah,⁵³⁰² which reacheth unto Medeba.

³¹ Thus Israel³⁴⁷⁸ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Amorites.

³² And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to spy out⁷²⁷⁰ Jaazer,³²⁷⁰ and they took³⁹²⁰ the villages¹³²³ thereof, and drove out³⁴²³³⁴²³ the Amorites

³³ And they turned⁶⁴³⁷ and went up⁵⁹²⁷ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Bashan:¹³¹⁶ and Og⁵⁷⁴⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Bashan¹³¹⁶ went out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ them, he, and all his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to the battle⁴⁴²¹ at Edrei.

³⁴ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Fear³³⁷² him not: for I have delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ him into thy hand,³⁰²⁷ and all his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and his land;⁷⁷⁶ and thou shalt do⁶²¹³ to him as thou didst⁶²¹³ unto Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Heshbon.

³⁵ So they smote⁵²²¹ him, and his sons,¹¹²¹ and all his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ until there was none¹¹¹⁵ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ him alive:⁸³⁰⁰ and they possessed³⁴²³ his land.

22And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ set forward,⁵²⁶⁵ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan³³⁸³ by Jericho.

² And Balak¹¹¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zippor⁶⁸³⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ all that Israel³⁴⁷⁸ had done⁶²¹³ to the Amorites.

³ And Moab⁴¹²⁴ was sore³⁹⁶⁶ afraid¹⁴⁸¹ of⁶⁴⁴⁰ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ because they were many:⁷²²⁷ and Moab⁴¹²⁴ was distressed⁶⁹⁷³ because of⁶⁴⁴⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁴^C And Moab⁴¹²⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the elders²²⁰⁵ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ Now shall this company⁶⁹⁵¹ lick up³⁸⁹⁷ all that are round about⁵⁴³⁹ us, as the ox⁷⁷⁹⁴ licketh up³⁸⁹⁷ the grass³⁴¹⁸ of the field.⁷⁷⁰⁴ And Balak¹¹¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zippor⁶⁸³⁴ was king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ at that time.

⁵^C He sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ therefore unto Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ to Pethor,⁶⁶⁰⁴ which is by the river⁵¹⁰⁴ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to call⁷¹²¹ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, there is a people⁵⁹⁷¹ come out³³¹⁸ from Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ behold, they cover³⁶⁸⁰ the face⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and they abide³⁴²⁷ over against

⁶^C Come³²¹² now therefore, I pray thee, curse⁷⁷⁹ me this people;⁵⁹⁷¹ for they are too mighty⁶⁰⁹⁹ for me: peradventure I shall prevail,³²⁰¹ that we may smite⁵²²¹ them, and that I may drive them out¹⁶⁴⁴ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ for I wot³⁰⁴⁵ that he whom thou blessest¹²⁸⁸ is blessed,¹²⁸⁸ and he whom thou cursest⁷⁷⁹ is cursed.

⁷^C And the elders²²⁰⁵ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ departed³²¹² with the rewards of divination⁷⁰⁸¹ in their hand;³⁰²⁷ and they came⁹³⁵ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Balak.

⁸ And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Lodge³⁸⁸⁵ here this night,³⁹¹⁵ and I will bring⁷⁷²⁵ you word¹⁶⁹⁷ again,⁷⁷²⁵ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto me: and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ abode³⁴²⁷ with Balaam.

⁹ And God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ What men

¹⁰ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Balak¹¹¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zippor,⁶⁸³⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ hath sent

¹¹ Behold, there is a people⁵⁹⁷¹ come out³³¹⁸ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ which covereth³⁶⁸⁰ the face⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the earth:⁷⁷⁶ come³²¹² now, curse⁶⁸⁹⁵ me them; peradventure I shall be able³²⁰¹ to overcome³⁸⁹⁸ them, and drive them out.

¹² And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Thou shalt not go³²¹² with them; thou shalt not curse⁷⁷⁹ the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for they are blessed.

¹³ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Balak,¹¹¹¹ Get³²¹² you into your land:⁷⁷⁶ for the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ refuseth³⁹⁸⁵ to give me leave⁵⁴¹⁴ to go

¹⁴ And the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and they went⁹³⁵ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ refuseth³⁹⁸⁵ to come

¹⁵ And Balak¹¹¹¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ yet again³²⁵⁴ princes,⁸²⁶⁹ more,⁷²²⁷ and more honourable

¹⁶ And they came⁹³⁵ to Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Balak¹¹¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zippor,⁶⁸³⁴ Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder⁴⁵¹³ thee from coming

¹⁷ For I will promote³⁵¹³ thee unto very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹³ honour,³⁵¹³ and I will do⁶²¹³ whatsoever thou sayest⁵⁵⁹ unto me: come³²¹² therefore, I pray thee, curse⁶⁸⁹⁵ me this people.

¹⁸ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Balak,¹¹¹¹ If Balak¹¹¹¹ would give⁵⁴¹⁴ me his house¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹³ of silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ I cannot³²⁰¹ go beyond⁵⁶⁷⁴ the word⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to do⁶²¹³ less⁶⁹⁹⁶ or more.

¹⁹^C Now therefore, I pray you, tarry³⁴²⁷ ye also here this night,³⁹¹⁵ that I may know³⁰⁴⁵ what the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will say¹⁶⁹⁶ unto me more.

²⁰ And God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ unto Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ at night,³⁹¹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, If the men⁵⁸² come⁹³⁵ to call⁷¹²¹ thee, rise up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and go³²¹² with them; but yet³⁸⁹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ which I shall say¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee, that shalt thou do.

²¹^C And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and saddled²²⁸⁰ his ass,⁸⁶⁰ and went³²¹² with the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Moab.

²²^C And God's⁴³⁰ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ because he went:¹⁹⁸⁰ and the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ stood³³²⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ for an adversary⁷⁸⁵⁴ against him. Now he was riding⁷³⁹² upon his ass,⁸⁶⁰ and his two⁸¹⁴⁷ servants

²³ And the ass⁸⁶⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ standing⁵³²⁴ in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sword²⁷¹⁹ drawn⁸⁰²⁵ in his hand:³⁰²⁷ and the ass⁸⁶⁰ turned aside⁵¹⁸⁶ out of the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and went³²¹² into the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ smote⁵²²¹ the ass,⁸⁶⁰ to turn⁵¹⁸⁶ her into the way.

²⁴ But the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in a path⁴⁹³⁴ of the vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ a wall¹⁴⁴⁷ being on this side, and a wall

²⁵ And when the ass⁸⁶⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ she thrust³⁹⁰⁵ herself unto the wall,⁷⁰²³ and crushed³⁹⁰⁵ Balaam's¹¹⁰⁹ foot⁷²⁷² against the wall:⁷⁰²³ and he smote⁵²²¹ her again.

²⁶ And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ went⁵⁶⁷⁴ further,³²⁵⁴ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in a narrow⁶⁸⁶² place,⁴⁷²⁵ where was no way¹⁸⁷⁰ to turn⁵¹⁸⁶ either to the right hand³²²⁵ or to the left.

²⁷ And when the ass⁸⁶⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ she fell down⁷²⁵⁷ under Balaam:¹¹⁰⁹ and Balaam's¹¹⁰⁹ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled,²⁷³⁴ and he smote⁵²²¹ the ass⁸⁶⁰ with a staff.

²⁸ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the ass,⁸⁶⁰ and she said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ What have I done⁶²¹³ unto thee, that thou hast smitten⁵²²¹ me these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times?

²⁹ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the ass,⁸⁶⁰ Because thou hast mocked⁵⁹⁵³ me: I would³⁸⁶³ there were³⁴²⁶ a sword²⁷¹⁹ in mine hand,³⁰²⁷ for now would I kill

³⁰ And the ass⁸⁶⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Am not I thine ass,⁸⁶⁰ upon which thou hast ridden⁷³⁹² ever since I was thine unto this day?³¹¹⁷ was I ever⁵⁵³² wont⁵⁵³² to do so⁶²¹³ unto thee? And he said,

³¹ Then the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ opened¹⁵⁴⁰ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and he saw⁷²⁰⁰ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ standing⁵³²⁴ in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sword²⁷¹⁹ drawn⁸⁰²⁵ in his hand:³⁰²⁷ and he bowed down⁶⁹¹⁵ his head, and fell flat⁷⁸¹² on his face.

³² And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten⁵²²¹ thine ass⁸⁶⁰ these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times?⁷²⁷² behold, I went out³³¹⁸ to withstand⁷⁸⁵⁴ thee, because thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ is perverse

³³^C And the ass⁸⁶⁰ saw⁷²⁰⁰ me, and turned⁵¹⁸⁶ from me⁶⁴⁴⁰ these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times:⁷²⁷² unless¹⁹⁴ she had turned⁵¹⁸⁶ from me,⁶⁴⁴⁰ surely now also I had slain²⁰²⁶ thee, and saved her alive.

³⁴ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ I have sinned;²³⁹⁸ for I knew³⁰⁴⁵ not that thou stoodest⁵³²⁴ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ against⁷¹²⁵ me: now therefore, if it displease thee,⁷⁴⁸⁹⁵⁸⁶⁹ I will get me back again.

³⁵ And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Go³²¹² with the men:⁵⁸² but only⁶⁵⁷ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that I shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee, that thou shalt speak.¹⁶⁹⁶ So Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ went³²¹² with the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Balak.

³⁶ And when Balak¹¹¹¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ was come,⁹³⁵ he went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him unto a city⁵⁸⁹² of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ which is in the border¹³⁶⁶ of Arnon,⁷⁶⁹ which is in the utmost⁷⁰⁹⁷ coast.

³⁷ And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Did I not earnestly⁷⁹⁷¹ send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto thee to call⁷¹²¹ thee? wherefore camest¹⁹⁸⁰ thou not unto me? am I not able³²⁰¹ indeed⁵⁵² to promote thee to honour?

³⁸^C And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Lo, I am come⁹³⁵ unto thee: have I now any power³²⁰¹ at all³²⁰¹ to say¹⁶⁹⁶ any thing?³⁹⁷² the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that God⁴³⁰ putteth⁷⁷⁶⁰ in my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ that shall I speak.

³⁹ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ went³²¹² with Balak,¹¹¹¹ and they came⁹³⁵ unto Kirjathhuzoth.²³⁵¹

⁴⁰ And Balak¹¹¹¹ offered²⁰⁷⁶ oxen¹²⁴¹ and sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and to the princes

⁴¹ And it came to pass on the morrow,¹²⁴² that Balak¹¹¹¹ took³⁹⁴⁷ Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and brought him up⁵⁹²⁷ into the high places¹¹¹⁶ of Baal,¹¹²⁰ that thence he might see⁷²⁰⁰ the utmost⁷⁰⁹⁷ part of the people.

23^CAnd Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Build¹¹²⁹ me here seven⁷⁶⁵¹ altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and prepare³⁵⁵⁹ me here seven⁷⁶⁵¹ oxen⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams.

² And Balak¹¹¹¹ did⁶²¹³ as Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ had spoken;¹⁶⁹⁶ and Balak¹¹¹¹ and Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ offered⁵⁹²⁷ on every altar⁴¹⁹⁶ a bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and a ram.

³ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Stand³³²⁰ by thy burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ and I will go:³²¹² peradventure the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ will come⁷¹³⁶ to meet⁷¹²⁵ me: and whatsoever¹⁶⁹⁷ he sheweth⁷²⁰⁰ me I will tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee. And he went³²¹² to an high place.

⁴ And God⁴³⁰ met⁷¹³⁶ Balaam:¹¹⁰⁹ and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I have prepared⁶¹⁸⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and I have offered⁵⁹²⁷ upon every altar⁴¹⁹⁶ a bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and a ram.

⁵ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ put⁷⁷⁶⁰ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ in Balaam's¹¹⁰⁹ mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Return⁷⁷²⁵ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ and thus thou shalt speak.

⁶ And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto him, and, lo, he stood⁵³²⁴ by his burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ he, and all the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Moab.

⁷ And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balak¹¹¹¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ hath brought⁵¹⁴⁸ me from Aram,⁷⁵⁸ out of the mountains²⁰⁴² of the east,⁶⁹²⁴ saying, Come,³²¹² curse⁷⁷⁹ me Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and come,³²¹² defy²¹⁹⁴ Israel.

⁸^C How⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I curse,⁵³⁴⁴ whom God⁴¹⁰ hath not cursed?⁶⁸⁹⁵ or how shall I defy,²¹⁹⁴ whom the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath not defied?

⁹^C For from the top⁷²¹⁸ of the rocks⁶⁶⁹⁷ I see⁷²⁰⁰ him, and from the hills¹³⁸⁹ I behold⁷⁷⁸⁹ him: lo, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall dwell⁷⁹³¹ alone,⁹¹⁰ and shall not be reckoned²⁸⁰³ among the nations.

¹⁰^C Who can count⁴⁴⁸⁷ the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the fourth⁷²⁵⁵ part of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ Let me die⁴¹⁹¹⁵³¹⁵ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the righteous,³⁴⁷⁷ and let my last

¹¹ And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ What hast thou done⁶²¹³ unto me? I took³⁹⁴⁷ thee to curse⁶⁸⁹⁵ mine enemies,³⁴¹ and, behold, thou hast blessed¹²⁸⁸ them altogether.

¹² And he answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Must I not take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ that which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath put⁷⁷⁶⁰ in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Come,³²¹² I pray thee, with me unto another³¹² place,⁴⁷²⁵ from whence thou mayest see⁷²⁰⁰ them: thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ but⁶⁵⁷ the utmost⁷⁰⁹⁷ part of them, and shalt not see⁷²⁰⁰ them all: and curse

¹⁴ And he brought³⁹⁴⁷ him into the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Zophim,⁶⁸³⁹⁶⁸²² to the top⁷²¹⁸ of Pisgah,⁶⁴⁴⁹ and built¹¹²⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and a ram³⁵² on every altar.

¹⁵ And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Stand³³²⁰ here³⁵⁴¹ by thy burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ while I meet⁷¹³⁶ the Lord yonder.

¹⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ met⁷¹³⁶ Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ in his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Go again⁷⁷²⁵ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ and say

¹⁷ And when he came⁹³⁵ to him, behold, he stood⁵³²⁴ by his burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ with him. And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, What hath the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spoken?

¹⁸ And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Rise up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ Balak,¹¹¹¹ and hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ hearken²³⁸ unto me, thou son¹¹²¹ of Zippor:

¹⁹^C God⁴¹⁰ is not a man,³⁷⁶ that he should lie;³⁵⁷⁶ neither the son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ that he should repent:⁵¹⁶² hath he said,⁵⁵⁹ and shall he not do⁶²¹³ it? or hath he spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ and shall he not make it good?

²⁰ Behold, I have received³⁹⁴⁷ commandment to bless:¹²⁸⁸ and he hath blessed;¹²⁸⁸ and I cannot reverse

²¹^C He hath not beheld⁵⁰²⁷ iniquity²⁰⁵ in Jacob,³²⁹⁰ neither hath he seen⁷²⁰⁰ perverseness⁵⁹⁹⁹ in Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ is with him, and the shout⁸⁶⁴³ of a king

²² God⁴¹⁰ brought them out³³¹⁸ of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ he hath as it were the strength⁸⁴⁴³ of an unicorn.

²³ Surely there is no enchantment⁵¹⁷³ against Jacob,³²⁹⁰ neither is there any divination⁷⁰⁸¹ against Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ according to this time⁶²⁵⁶ it shall be said⁵⁵⁹ of Jacob³²⁹⁰ and of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ What hath God⁴¹⁰ wrought!

²⁴ Behold, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall rise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ as a great lion,³⁸³³ and lift up⁵³⁷⁵ himself as a young lion:⁷³⁸ he shall not lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ until he eat³⁹⁸ of the prey,²⁹⁶⁴ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the slain.

²⁵ And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Neither curse⁵³⁴⁴ them at all,⁶⁸⁹⁵ nor bless¹²⁸⁸ them at all.

²⁶ But Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Told¹⁶⁹⁶ not I thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ All that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ speaketh,¹⁶⁹⁶ that I must do?

²⁷ And Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ Come,³²¹² I pray thee, I will bring³⁹⁴⁷ thee unto another³¹² place;⁴⁷²⁵ peradventure it will please³⁴⁷⁴⁵⁸⁶⁹ God⁴³⁰ that thou mayest curse

²⁸ And Balak¹¹¹¹ brought³⁹⁴⁷ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ unto the top⁷²¹⁸ of Peor,⁶⁴⁶⁵ that looketh⁸²⁵⁹ toward⁶⁴⁴⁰ Jeshimon.

²⁹ And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Build¹¹²⁹ me here seven⁷⁶⁵¹ altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and prepare³⁵⁵⁹ me here seven⁷⁶⁵¹ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams.

³⁰ And Balak¹¹¹¹ did⁶²¹³ as Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ had said,⁵⁵⁹ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and a ram³⁵² on every altar.

24And when Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that it pleased⁵⁸⁶⁹²⁸⁹⁵ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ to bless¹²⁸⁸ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ he went¹⁹⁸⁰ not, as at other times,⁶⁴⁷¹ to seek⁷¹²⁵ for enchantments,⁵¹⁷³ but he set⁷⁸⁹⁶ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward the wilderness.

² And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and he saw⁷²⁰⁰ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ abiding⁷⁹³¹ in his tents according to their tribes;⁷⁶²⁶ and the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God

³ And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ hath said,⁵⁰⁰² and the man¹³⁹⁷ whose eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are open⁸³⁶⁵ hath said:

⁴ He hath said,⁵⁰⁰² which heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words⁵⁶¹ of God,⁴¹⁰ which saw²³⁷² the vision⁴²³⁶ of the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ falling⁵³⁰⁷ into a trance, but having his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ open:

⁵ How goodly²⁸⁹⁵ are thy tents,¹⁶⁸ O Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and thy tabernacles,⁴⁹⁰⁸ O Israel!

⁶ As the valleys⁵¹⁵⁸ are they spread forth,⁵¹⁸⁶ as gardens¹⁵⁹³ by the river's side,⁵¹⁰⁴ as the trees of lign aloes¹⁷⁴ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath planted,⁵¹⁹³ and as cedar trees⁷³⁰ beside the waters.

⁷ He shall pour⁵¹⁴⁰ the water⁴³²⁵ out⁵¹⁴⁰ of his buckets,¹⁸⁰⁵ and his seed²²³³ shall be in many⁷²²⁷ waters,⁴³²⁵ and his king⁴⁴²⁸ shall be higher⁷³¹¹ than Agag,⁹⁰ and his kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ shall be exalted.

⁸ God⁴¹⁰ brought him forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ he hath as it were the strength⁸⁴⁴³ of an unicorn:⁷²¹⁴ he shall eat up³⁹⁸ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ his enemies,⁶⁸⁶² and shall break¹⁶³³ their bones,⁶¹⁰⁶ and pierce⁴²⁷² them through with his arrows.

⁹^C He couched,³⁷⁶⁶ he lay down⁷⁹⁰¹ as a lion,⁷³⁸ and as a great lion:³⁸³³ who shall stir him up?⁶⁹⁶⁵ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ is he that blesseth¹²⁸⁸ thee, and cursed⁷⁷⁹ is he that curseth

¹⁰ And Balak's¹¹¹¹ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and he smote⁵⁶⁰⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ together:⁵⁶⁰⁶ and Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ I called⁷¹²¹ thee to curse⁶⁸⁹⁵ mine enemies,³⁴¹ and, behold, thou hast altogether¹²⁸⁸ blessed¹²⁸⁸ them these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times.

¹¹ Therefore now flee¹²⁷² thou to thy place:⁴⁷²⁵ I thought⁵⁵⁹ to promote³⁵¹³ thee unto great³⁵¹³ honour;³⁵¹³ but, lo, the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath kept thee back⁴⁵¹³ from honour.

¹² And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Balak,¹¹¹¹ Spake¹⁶⁹⁶ I not also to thy messengers⁴³⁹⁷ which thou sentest⁷⁹⁷¹ unto me, saying,

¹³ If Balak¹¹¹¹ would give⁵⁴¹⁴ me his house¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹³ of silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ I cannot³²⁰¹ go beyond⁵⁶⁷⁴ the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ either good²⁸⁹⁶ or bad⁷⁴⁵¹ of mine own mind;³⁸²⁰ but what the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ saith,¹⁶⁹⁶ that will I speak?

¹⁴ And now, behold, I go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto my people:⁵⁹⁷¹ come³²¹² therefore, and I will advertise³²⁸⁹ thee what this people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall do⁶²¹³ to thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the latter³¹⁹ days.

¹⁵ And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ hath said,⁵⁰⁰² and the man¹³⁹⁷ whose eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are open⁸³⁶⁵ hath said:

¹⁶ He hath said,⁵⁰⁰² which heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words⁵⁶¹ of God,⁴¹⁰ and knew³⁰⁴⁵ the knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ of the most High,⁵⁹⁴⁵ which saw²³⁷² the vision⁴²³⁶ of the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ falling⁵³⁰⁷ into a trance, but having his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ open:

¹⁷^C I shall see⁷²⁰⁰ him, but not now: I shall behold⁷⁷⁸⁹ him, but not nigh:⁷¹³⁸ there shall come¹⁸⁶⁹ a Star³⁵⁵⁶ out of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and a Sceptre⁷⁶²⁶ shall rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ out of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and shall smite⁴²⁷² the corners⁶²⁸⁵ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and destroy⁶⁹⁷⁹ all the children¹¹²¹ of Sheth.⁸³⁵²

¹⁸^C And Edom¹²³ shall be a possession,³⁴²⁴ Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ also shall be a possession³⁴²⁴ for his enemies;³⁴¹ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall do⁶²¹³ valiantly.

¹⁹ Out of Jacob³²⁹⁰ shall come he that shall have dominion,⁷²⁸⁷ and shall destroy⁶ him that remaineth⁸³⁰⁰ of the city.

²⁰^C And when he looked⁷²⁰⁰ on Amalek,⁶⁰⁰² he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Amalek⁶⁰⁰² was the first⁷²²⁵ of the nations;¹⁴⁷¹ but his latter³¹⁹ end shall be that he perish⁸ for ever.

²¹ And he looked⁷²⁰⁰ on the Kenites,⁷⁰¹⁷ and took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Strong³⁸⁶ is thy dwellingplace,⁴¹⁸⁶ and thou puttest⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy nest⁷⁰⁶⁴ in a rock.

²² Nevertheless the Kenite⁷⁰¹⁴ shall⁵¹⁸ be wasted,¹¹⁹⁷ until Asshur⁸⁰⁴ shall carry thee away captive.

²³ And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁸⁸ who shall live²⁴²¹ when God⁴¹⁰ doeth

²⁴ And ships⁶⁷¹⁶ shall come from the coast³⁰²⁷ of Chittim,³⁷⁹⁴ and shall afflict⁶⁰³¹ Asshur,⁸⁰⁴ and shall afflict⁶⁰³¹ Eber,⁵⁶⁷⁷ and he also shall perish⁸ for ever.

²⁵^C And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to his place:⁴⁷²⁵ and Balak¹¹¹¹ also went¹⁹⁸⁰ his way.

25^CAnd Israel³⁴⁷⁸ abode³⁴²⁷ in Shittim,⁷⁸⁵¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ began²⁴⁹⁰ to commit whoredom²¹⁸¹ with the daughters¹³²³ of Moab.

²^C And they called⁷¹²¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ unto the sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ of their gods:⁴³⁰ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did eat,³⁹⁸ and bowed down⁷⁸¹² to their gods.

³ And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ joined⁶⁷⁷⁵ himself unto Baalpeor:¹¹⁸⁷ and the anger⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Israel.

⁴ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Take³⁹⁴⁷ all the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and hang them up³³⁶³ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ against the sun,⁸¹²¹ that the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ may be turned away⁷⁷²⁵ from Israel.

⁵^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the judges⁸¹⁹⁹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Slay²⁰²⁶ ye every³⁷⁶ one³⁷⁶ his men⁵⁸² that were joined⁶⁷⁷⁵ unto Baalpeor.

⁶ And, behold, one³⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ and brought⁷¹²⁶ unto his brethren²⁵¹ a Midianitish woman⁴⁰⁸⁴ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who were weeping¹⁰⁵⁸ before the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.

⁷ And when Phinehas,⁶³⁷² the son¹¹²¹ of Eleazar,⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ it, he rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from among⁸⁴³² the congregation,⁵⁷¹² and took³⁹⁴⁷ a javelin⁷⁴²⁰ in his hand;

⁸ And he went⁹³⁵ after³¹⁰ the man³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ into the tent,⁶⁸⁹⁸ and thrust¹⁸⁵⁶ both⁸¹⁴⁷ of them through, the man³⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and the woman⁸⁰² through⁴¹³ her belly.⁶⁸⁹⁷ So the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed⁶¹¹³ from the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁹ And those that died⁴¹⁹¹ in the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ were twenty⁶²⁴² and four⁷⁰² thousand.

¹⁰ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹¹ Phinehas,⁶³⁷² the son¹¹²¹ of Eleazar,⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ hath turned⁷⁷²⁵ my wrath²⁵³⁴ away⁷⁷²⁵ from the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ while he was zealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ for my sake⁷⁰⁶⁸ among⁸⁴³² them, that I consumed³⁶¹⁵ not the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in my jealousy.

¹² Wherefore say,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, I give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto him my covenant¹²⁸⁵ of peace:

¹³ And he shall have it, and his seed²²³³ after³¹⁰ him, even the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of an everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ priesthood;³⁵⁵⁰ because⁸³⁴ he was zealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ for his God,⁴³⁰ and made an atonement³⁷²² for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

¹⁴ Now the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the Israelite³⁷⁶ that was slain,⁵²²¹ even that was slain⁵²²¹ with the Midianitish woman,⁴⁰⁸⁴ was Zimri,²¹⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Salu,⁵⁵⁴³ a prince⁵³⁸⁷ of a chief¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ among the Simeonites.

¹⁵ And the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the Midianitish⁴⁰⁸⁴ woman⁸⁰² that was slain⁵²²¹ was Cozbi,³⁵⁷⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Zur;⁶⁶⁹⁸ he was head⁷²¹⁸ over a people,⁵²³ and of a chief¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ in Midian.

¹⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹⁷ Vex⁶⁸⁸⁷ the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁴ and smite

¹⁸ For they vex⁶⁸⁸⁷ you with their wiles,⁵²³¹ wherewith they have beguiled⁵²³⁰ you in the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Peor,⁶⁴⁶⁵ and in the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Cozbi,³⁵⁷⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of a prince⁵³⁸⁷ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ their sister,²⁶⁹ which was slain⁵²²¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ of the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ for Peor's⁶⁴⁶⁵ sake.

26And it came to pass after³¹⁰ the plague,⁴⁰⁴⁶ that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ saying,

² Take⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ throughout their fathers'¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ all that are able to go³³¹⁸ to war⁶⁶³⁵ in Israel.

³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ with them in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho,³⁴⁰⁵ saying,

⁴ Take the sum of the people, from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward;⁴⁶⁰⁵ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which went forth³³¹⁸ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.

⁵ Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ the eldest¹⁰⁶⁰ son of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben;⁷²⁰⁵ Hanoch,²⁵⁸⁵ of whom cometh the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Hanochites:²⁵⁹⁹ of Pallu,⁶³⁹⁶ the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Palluites:

¹⁰ And the earth⁷⁷⁶ opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ her mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and swallowed them up¹¹⁰⁴ together with Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ when that company⁵⁷¹² died,⁴¹⁹⁴ what time the fire⁷⁸⁴ devoured³⁹⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² men:³⁷⁶ and they became a sign.

⁵⁵ Notwithstanding the land⁷⁷⁶ shall be divided²⁵⁰⁵ by lot:¹⁴⁸⁶ according to the names⁸⁰³⁴ of the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of their fathers¹ they shall inherit.

⁵⁶^C According⁶³¹⁰ to the lot¹⁴⁸⁶ shall the possession⁵¹⁵⁹ thereof be divided²⁵⁰⁵ between many⁷²²⁷ and few.

⁶⁰ And unto Aaron¹⁷⁵ was born³²⁰⁵ Nadab,⁵⁰⁷⁰ and Abihu,³⁰ Eleazar,⁴⁹⁹ and Ithamar.

⁶¹^C And Nadab⁵⁰⁷⁰ and Abihu³⁰ died,⁴¹⁹¹ when they offered⁷¹²⁶ strange²¹¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

⁶² And those that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ of them were twenty⁶²⁴² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ all males²¹⁴⁵ from a month²³²⁰ old¹¹²¹ and upward:⁴⁶⁰⁵ for they were not numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because there was no inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ given⁵⁴¹⁴ them among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

⁶³ These are they that were numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ by Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ who numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho.

⁶⁴ But among these there was not a man³⁷⁶ of them whom Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ numbered,⁶⁴⁸⁵ when they numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Sinai.

⁶⁵ For the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ had said⁵⁵⁹ of them, They shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷ And there was not left³⁴⁹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ of them, save Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh,³³¹² and Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun.

27Then came⁷¹²⁶ the daughters¹³²³ of Zelophehad,⁶⁷⁶⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Hepher,²⁶⁶⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Machir,⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joseph:³¹³⁰ and these are the names⁸⁰³⁴ of his daughters;¹³²³ Mahlah,⁴²⁴⁴ Noah,⁵²⁷⁰ and Hoglah,²²⁹⁵ and Milcah,⁴⁴³⁵ and Tirzah.

² And they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the princes⁵³⁸⁷ and all the congregation,⁵⁷¹² by the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ saying,

³ Our father¹ died⁴¹⁹¹ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and he was not in⁸⁴³² the company⁵⁷¹² of them that gathered themselves together³²⁵⁹ against the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in the company⁵⁷¹² of Korah;⁷¹⁴¹ but died⁴¹⁹¹ in his own sin,²³⁹⁹ and had no sons.

⁴ Why should the name⁸⁰³⁴ of our father¹ be done away¹⁶³⁹ from among⁸⁴³² his family,⁴⁹⁴⁰ because he hath no son?¹¹²¹ Give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto us therefore a possession²⁷² among⁸⁴³² the brethren²⁵¹ of our father.

⁵ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² brought⁷¹²⁶ their cause⁴⁹⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

⁷ The daughters¹³²³ of Zelophehad⁶⁷⁶⁵ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ right:³⁶⁵¹ thou shalt surely⁵⁴¹⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ them a possession²⁷² of an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ among⁸⁴³² their father's¹ brethren;²⁵¹ and thou shalt cause the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of their father¹ to pass

⁸ And thou shalt speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ If a man³⁷⁶ die,⁴¹⁹¹ and have no son,¹¹²¹ then ye shall cause his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ unto his daughter.

⁹ And if he have no daughter,¹³²³ then ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ unto his brethren.

¹⁰ And if he have no brethren,²⁵¹ then ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ unto his father's¹ brethren.

¹¹ And if his father¹ have no brethren,²⁵¹ then ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ unto his kinsman⁷⁶⁰⁷ that is next⁷¹³⁸ to him of his family,⁴⁹⁴⁰ and he shall possess³⁴²³ it: and it shall be unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ a statute²⁷⁰⁸ of judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

¹² And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Get thee up⁵⁹²⁷ into this mount²⁰²² Abarim,⁵⁶⁸² and see⁷²⁰⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ which I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

¹³ And when thou hast seen⁷²⁰⁰ it, thou also shalt be gathered⁶²² unto thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ as Aaron¹⁷⁵ thy brother²⁵¹ was gathered.

¹⁴ For ye rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against my commandment⁶³¹⁰ in the desert⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Zin,⁶⁷⁹⁰ in the strife⁴⁸⁰⁸ of the congregation,⁵⁷¹² to sanctify⁶⁹⁴² me at the water⁴³²⁵ before their eyes:⁵⁸⁶⁹ that is the water⁴³²⁵ of Meribah⁴⁸⁰⁹ in Kadesh⁶⁹⁴⁶ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Zin.

¹⁵^C And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,

¹⁶^C Let the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of the spirits⁷³⁰⁷ of all flesh,¹³²⁰ set⁶⁴⁸⁵ a man³⁷⁶ over the congregation,

¹⁷ Which may go out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and which may go in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and which may lead them out,³³¹⁸ and which may bring them in;⁹³⁵ that the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ be not as sheep⁶⁶²⁹ which have no shepherd.

¹⁸^C And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Take³⁹⁴⁷ thee Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ a man³⁷⁶ in whom is the spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ and lay⁵⁵⁶⁴ thine hand

¹⁹ And set⁵⁹⁷⁵ him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ all the congregation;⁵⁷¹² and give him a charge⁶⁶⁸⁰ in their sight.

²⁰ And thou shalt put⁵⁴¹⁴ some of thine honour¹⁹³⁵ upon him, that all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ may be obedient.

²¹^C And he shall stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ who shall ask⁷⁵⁹² counsel for him after the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of Urim²²⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ at his word⁶³¹⁰ shall they go out,³³¹⁸ and at his word⁶³¹⁰ they shall come in,⁹³⁵ both he, and all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with him, even all the congregation.

²² And Moses⁴⁸⁷² did⁶²¹³ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him: and he took³⁹⁴⁷ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and set⁵⁹⁷⁵ him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ all the congregation:

²³ And he laid⁵⁵⁶⁴ his hands³⁰²⁷ upon him, and gave him a charge,⁶⁶⁸⁰ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.

28And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Command⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, My offering,⁷¹³³ and my bread³⁸⁹⁹ for my sacrifices made by fire,⁸⁰¹ for a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto me, shall ye observe⁸¹⁰⁴ to offer⁷¹²⁶ unto me in their due season.

³ And thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, This is the offering made by fire⁸⁰¹ which ye shall offer⁷¹²⁶ unto the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ lambs³⁵³² of the first¹¹²¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ without spot⁸⁵⁴⁹ day by day,³¹¹⁷ for a continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ burnt offering.

⁴ The one²⁵⁹ lamb³⁵³² shalt thou offer⁶²¹³ in the morning,¹²⁴² and the other⁸¹⁴⁵ lamb³⁵³² shalt thou offer⁶²¹³ at even;

⁶ It is a continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ which was ordained⁶²¹³ in mount²⁰²² Sinai⁵⁵¹⁴ for a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour,⁷³⁸¹ a sacrifice made by fire⁸⁰¹ unto the Lord.

⁷ And the drink offering⁵²⁶² thereof shall be the fourth⁷²⁴³ part of an hin¹⁹⁶⁹ for the one²⁵⁹ lamb:³⁵³² in the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place shalt thou cause the strong wine⁷⁹⁴¹ to be poured⁵²⁵⁸ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ for a drink offering.

⁸ And the other⁸¹⁴⁵ lamb³⁵³² shalt thou offer⁶²¹³ at even:⁶¹⁵³ as the meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ of the morning,¹²⁴² and as the drink offering⁵²⁶² thereof, thou shalt offer⁶²¹³ it, a sacrifice made by fire,⁸⁰¹ of a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord.

³⁵ On the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ ye shall have a solemn assembly:⁶¹¹⁶ ye shall do⁶²¹³ no servile⁵⁶⁵⁶ work

³⁶ But ye shall offer⁷¹²⁶ a burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ a sacrifice made by fire,⁸⁰¹ of a sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savour⁷³⁸¹ unto the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ one²⁵⁹ bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ one²⁵⁹ ram,³⁵² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ lambs³⁵³² of the first¹¹²¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ without blemish:

³⁷ Their meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ and their drink offerings⁵²⁶² for the bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ for the ram,³⁵² and for the lambs,³⁵³² shall be according to their number,⁴⁵⁵⁷ after the manner:

³⁸ And one²⁵⁹ goat⁸¹⁶³ for a sin offering;²⁴⁰³ beside the continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ and his meat offering,⁴⁵⁰³ and his drink offering.

³⁹ These things ye shall do⁶²¹³ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in your set feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ beside your vows,⁵⁰⁸⁸ and your freewill offerings,⁵⁰⁷¹ for your burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and for your meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and for your drink offerings,⁵²⁶² and for your peace offerings.

⁴⁰ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² told⁵⁵⁹ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ according to all that the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

30And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ concerning the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ This is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath commanded.

²^C If a man³⁷⁶ vow⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ or swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ an oath⁷⁶²¹ to bind⁶³¹ his soul⁵³¹⁵ with a bond;⁶³² he shall not break²⁴⁹⁰ his word,¹⁶⁹⁷ he shall do⁶²¹³ according to all that proceedeth³³¹⁸ out of his mouth.

³ If a woman⁸⁰² also vow⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ unto the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and bind⁶³¹ herself by a bond,⁶³² being in her father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ in her youth;

⁴ And her father¹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ her vow,⁵⁰⁸⁸ and her bond⁶³² wherewith she hath bound⁶³¹ her soul,⁵³¹⁵ and her father¹ shall hold his peace²⁷⁹⁰ at her: then all her vows⁵⁰⁸⁸ shall stand,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and every bond⁶³² wherewith she hath bound⁶³¹ her soul⁵³¹⁵ shall stand.

⁵ But if her father¹ disallow⁵¹⁰⁶ her in the day³¹¹⁷ that he heareth;⁸⁰⁸⁵ not any of her vows,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or of her bonds⁶³² wherewith she hath bound⁶³¹ her soul,⁵³¹⁵ shall stand:⁶⁹⁶⁵ and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ her, because her father¹ disallowed

⁶ And if she had at all an husband,³⁷⁶ when she vowed,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or uttered⁴⁰⁰⁸ ought out of her lips,⁸¹⁹³ wherewith she bound⁶³¹ her soul;

⁷^C And her husband³⁷⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, and held his peace²⁷⁹⁰ at her in the day³¹¹⁷ that he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it: then her vows⁵⁰⁸⁸ shall stand,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and her bonds⁶³² wherewith she bound⁶³¹ her soul⁵³¹⁵ shall stand.

⁸ But if her husband³⁷⁶ disallowed⁵¹⁰⁶ her on the day³¹¹⁷ that he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed,⁵⁰⁸⁸ and that which she uttered⁴⁰⁰⁸ with her lips,⁸¹⁹³ wherewith she bound⁶³¹ her soul,⁵³¹⁵ of none effect:⁶⁵⁶⁵ and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall forgive

⁹ But every vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ of a widow,⁴⁹⁰ and of her that is divorced,¹⁶⁴⁴ wherewith they have bound⁶³¹ their souls,⁵³¹⁵ shall stand

¹⁰ And if she vowed⁵⁰⁸⁷ in her husband's³⁷⁶ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ or bound⁶³¹ her soul⁵³¹⁵ by a bond⁶³² with an oath;

¹¹ And her husband³⁷⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, and held his peace²⁷⁹⁰ at her, and disallowed⁵¹⁰⁶ her not: then all her vows⁵⁰⁸⁸ shall stand,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and every bond⁶³² wherewith she bound⁶³¹ her soul⁵³¹⁵ shall stand.

¹² But if her husband³⁷⁶ hath utterly⁶⁵⁶⁵ made them void⁶⁵⁶⁵ on the day³¹¹⁷ he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ them; then whatsoever proceeded⁴¹⁶¹ out of her lips⁸¹⁹³ concerning her vows,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or concerning the bond⁶³² of her soul,⁵³¹⁵ shall not stand:⁶⁹⁶⁵ her husband³⁷⁶ hath made them void;⁶⁵⁶⁵ and the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ shall forgive

¹³ Every vow,⁵⁰⁸⁸ and every binding⁶³² oath⁷⁶²¹ to afflict⁶⁰³¹ the soul,⁵³¹⁵ her husband³⁷⁶ may establish⁶⁹⁶⁵ it, or her husband³⁷⁶ may make it void.

¹⁴ But if her husband³⁷⁶ altogether²⁷⁹⁰ hold his peace²⁷⁹⁰ at her from day³¹¹⁷ to day;³¹¹⁷ then he establisheth⁶⁹⁶⁵ all her vows,⁵⁰⁸⁸ or all her bonds,⁶³² which are upon her: he confirmeth⁶⁹⁶⁵ them, because he held his peace²⁷⁹⁰ at her in the day³¹¹⁷ that he heard

¹⁵ But if he shall any ways⁶⁵⁶⁵ make them void⁶⁵⁶⁵ after³¹⁰ that he hath heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ them; then he shall bear⁵³⁷⁵ her iniquity.

¹⁶ These are the statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² between a man³⁷⁶ and his wife,⁸⁰² between the father¹ and his daughter,¹³²³ being yet in her youth⁵²⁷¹ in her father's¹ house.

31And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Avenge⁵³⁵⁸⁵³⁶⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ of the Midianites:⁴⁰⁸⁴ afterward³¹⁰ shalt thou be gathered⁶²² unto thy people.

³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Arm²⁵⁰² some⁵⁸² of yourselves unto the war,⁶⁶³⁵ and let them go against the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and avenge⁵⁴¹⁴⁵³⁶⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ of Midian.

⁴ Of every tribe⁴²⁹⁴⁴²⁹⁴ a thousand,⁵⁰⁵⁵⁰⁵ throughout all the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ shall ye send⁷⁹⁷¹ to the war.

⁵ So there were delivered⁴⁵⁶⁰ out of the thousands⁵⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ of every tribe,⁴²⁹⁴ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷⁶²⁴⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ armed²⁵⁰² for war.

⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them to the war,⁶⁶³⁵ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ of every tribe,⁴²⁹⁴ them and Phinehas⁶³⁷² the son¹¹²¹ of Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ to the war,⁶⁶³⁵ with the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ instruments,³⁶²⁷ and the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to blow⁸⁶⁴³ in his hand.

⁷ And they warred⁶⁶³³ against the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses;⁴⁸⁷² and they slew²⁰²⁶ all the males.

⁸^C And they slew²⁰²⁶ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ beside⁵⁹²¹ the rest of them that were slain;²⁴⁹¹ namely, Evi,¹⁸⁹ and Rekem,⁷⁵⁵² and Zur,⁶⁶⁹⁸ and Hur,²³⁵⁴ and Reba,⁷²⁵⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian:⁴⁰⁸⁰ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ also the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ they slew²⁰²⁶ with the sword.

⁹ And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took all the women⁸⁰² of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ captives,⁷⁶¹⁷ and their little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ and took the spoil⁹⁶² of all their cattle,⁹²⁹ and all their flocks,⁴⁷³⁵ and all their goods.

¹⁰ And they burnt⁸³¹³ all their cities⁵⁸⁹² wherein they dwelt,⁴¹⁸⁶ and all their goodly castles,²⁹¹⁸ with fire.

¹¹ And they took³⁹⁴⁷ all the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ and all the prey,⁴⁴⁵⁵ both of men¹²⁰ and of beasts.

¹² And they brought⁹³⁵ the captives,⁷⁶²⁸ and the prey,⁴⁴⁵⁵ and the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and unto the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto the camp⁴²⁶⁴ at the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ which are by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho.

¹³ And Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and all the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation,⁵⁷¹² went forth³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ them without²³⁵¹ the camp.

¹⁴ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² was wroth⁷¹⁰⁷ with the officers⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the host,²⁴²⁸ with the captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ which came⁹³⁵ from⁶⁶³⁵ the battle.

¹⁵ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Have ye saved²⁴²¹ all the women⁵³⁴⁷ alive?

¹⁶^C Behold, these²⁰⁰⁷ caused¹⁹⁶¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ through the counsel¹⁶⁹⁷ of Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ to commit⁴⁵⁶⁰ trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ against the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ in the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Peor,⁶⁴⁶⁵ and there was a plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ among the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the Lord.

¹⁷ Now therefore kill²⁰²⁶ every male²¹⁴⁵ among the little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ and kill²⁰²⁶ every woman⁸⁰² that hath known³⁰⁴⁵ man³⁷⁶ by lying⁴⁹⁰⁴ with him.

¹⁸ But all the women⁸⁰² children,²⁹⁴⁵ that have not known³⁰⁴⁵ a man²¹⁴⁵ by lying⁴⁹⁰⁴ with him, keep alive

¹⁹^C And do ye abide²⁵⁸³ without²³⁵¹ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ whosoever hath killed²⁰²⁶ any person,⁵³¹⁵ and whosoever hath touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ any slain,²⁴⁹¹ purify²³⁹⁸ both yourselves and your captives⁷⁶²⁸ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ and on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day.

²⁰ And purify²³⁹⁸ all your raiment,⁸⁹⁹ and all that is made³⁶²⁷ of skins,⁵⁷⁸⁵ and all work⁴⁶³⁹ of goats'⁵⁷⁹⁵ hair, and all things made³⁶²⁷ of wood.

²¹ And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the men⁵⁸² of war⁶⁶³⁵ which went⁹³⁵ to the battle,⁴⁴²¹ This is the ordinance²⁷⁰⁸ of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses;

²² Only the gold,²⁰⁹¹ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ the brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ the iron,¹²⁷⁰ the tin,⁹¹³ and the lead,

²³ Every thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that may abide⁹³⁵ the fire,⁷⁸⁴ ye shall make it go through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the fire,⁷⁸⁴ and it shall be clean:²⁸⁹¹ nevertheless it shall be purified²³⁹⁸ with the water⁴³²⁵ of separation:⁵⁰⁷⁹ and all that abideth⁹³⁵ not the fire⁷⁸⁴ ye shall make go through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the water.

²⁴ And ye shall wash³⁵²⁶ your clothes⁸⁹⁹ on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ and ye shall be clean,²⁸⁹¹ and afterward³¹⁰ ye shall come⁹³⁵ into the camp.

²⁵ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

²⁶ Take⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the prey⁴⁴⁵⁵ that was taken,⁷⁶²⁸ both of man¹²⁰ and of beast,⁹²⁹ thou, and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ fathers¹ of the congregation:

²⁷ And divide²⁶⁷³ the prey⁴⁴⁵⁵ into two parts;²⁶⁷³ between them that took⁸⁶¹⁰ the war⁴⁴²¹ upon them, who went out³³¹⁸ to battle,⁶⁶³⁵ and between all the congregation:

²⁸^C And levy⁷³¹¹ a tribute⁴³⁷¹ unto the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ of the men⁵⁸² of war⁴⁴²¹ which went out³³¹⁸ to battle:⁶⁶³⁵ one²⁵⁹ soul⁵³¹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ both of the persons,¹²⁰ and of the beeves,¹²⁴¹ and of the asses,²⁵⁴³ and of the sheep:

²⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ it of their half,⁴²⁷⁶ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ for an heave offering⁸⁶⁴¹ of the Lord.

³⁰ And of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ one²⁵⁹ portion²⁷⁰ of fifty,²⁵⁷² of the persons,¹²⁰ of the beeves,¹²⁴¹ of the asses,²⁵⁴³ and of the flocks,⁶⁶²⁹ of all manner of beasts,⁹²⁹ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ which keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the Lord.

³¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ did⁶²¹³ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

³² And the booty,⁴⁴⁵⁵ being the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the prey⁹⁵⁷ which the men of⁵⁹⁷¹ war⁶⁶³⁵ had caught,⁹⁶² was six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep,

³³ And threescore and twelve⁷⁶⁵⁷⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ beeves,

³⁴ And threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and one²⁵⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ asses,

³⁵ And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ persons⁵³¹⁵¹²⁰ in all,³⁶⁰⁵ of women⁸⁰² that had not known³⁰⁴⁵ man²¹⁴⁵ by lying

³⁶ And the half,⁴²⁷⁵ which was the portion²⁵⁰⁶ of them that went out³³¹⁸ to war,⁶⁶³⁵ was in number⁴⁵⁵⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ sheep:

³⁷ And the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ of the sheep⁶⁶²⁹ was six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore and fifteen.⁷⁶⁵⁷

³⁸ And the beeves¹²⁴¹ were thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ of which the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was threescore and twelve.⁷⁶⁵⁷

³⁹ And the asses²⁵⁴³ were thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred;³⁹⁶⁷ of which the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and one.

⁴⁰ And the persons¹²⁰⁵³¹⁵ were sixteen⁸³³⁷⁶²⁴⁰ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ of which the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ tribute⁴³⁷¹ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ persons.

⁴¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the tribute,⁴³⁷¹ which was the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ heave offering,⁸⁶⁴¹ unto Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

⁴² And of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² divided²⁶⁷³ from the men⁵⁸² that warred,

⁴³ (Now the half⁴²⁷⁵ that pertained unto the congregation⁵⁷¹² was three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ sheep,⁴⁴⁸⁰

⁴⁴ And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ beeves,

⁴⁵ And thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ asses²⁵⁴³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred,

⁴⁶ And sixteen⁸³³⁷⁶²⁴⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ persons;)⁵³¹⁵

⁴⁷ Even of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ half,⁴²⁷⁶ Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ one²⁵⁹ portion²⁷⁰ of fifty,²⁵⁷² both of man¹²⁰ and of beast,⁹²⁹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ which kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the Lord;³⁰⁶⁸ as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses.

⁴⁸ And the officers⁶⁴⁸⁵ which were over thousands⁵⁰⁵ of the host,⁶⁶³⁵ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ came near⁷¹²⁶ unto Moses:

⁴⁹ And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ have taken⁵³⁷⁵ the sum⁷²¹⁸ of the men⁵⁸² of war⁴⁴²¹ which are under our charge,³⁰²⁷ and there lacketh⁶⁴⁸⁵ not one man

⁵⁰ We have therefore brought⁷¹²⁶ an oblation⁷¹³³ for the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ what every man³⁷⁶ hath gotten,⁴⁶⁷² of jewels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ chains,⁶⁸⁵ and bracelets,⁶⁷⁸¹ rings,²⁸⁸⁵ earrings,⁵⁶⁹⁴ and tablets,³⁵⁵⁸ to make an atonement³⁷²² for our souls⁵³¹⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

⁵¹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ the gold²⁰⁹¹ of them, even all wrought⁴⁶³⁹ jewels.

⁵² And all the gold²⁰⁹¹ of the offering⁸⁶⁴¹ that they offered up⁷³¹¹ to the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ was sixteen⁸³³⁷⁶²⁴⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² shekels.

⁵³ (For the men⁵⁸² of war⁶⁶³⁵ had taken spoil,⁹⁶² every man

⁵⁴ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ the gold²⁰⁹¹ of the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and brought⁹³⁵ it into the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ for a memorial²¹⁴⁶ for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

32Now the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ and the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ had a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁶⁰⁹⁹ multitude⁷²²⁷ of cattle:⁴⁷³⁵ and when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Jazer,³²⁷⁰ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ that, behold, the place⁴⁷²⁵ was a place⁴⁷²⁵ for cattle;

² The children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ came⁹³⁵ and spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and to Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and unto the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation,⁵⁷¹² saying,

³ Ataroth,⁵⁸⁵² and Dibon,¹⁷⁶⁹ and Jazer,³²⁷⁰ and Nimrah,⁵²⁴⁷ and Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and Elealeh,⁵⁰⁰ and Shebam,⁷⁶⁴³ and Nebo,⁵⁰¹⁵ and Beon,

⁴ Even the country⁷⁷⁶ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵²²¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ is a land⁷⁷⁶ for cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ have cattle:

⁵ Wherefore, said⁵⁵⁹ they, if we have found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ let this land⁷⁷⁶ be given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for a possession,²⁷² and bring us not over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan.

⁶ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and to the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ Shall your brethren²⁵¹ go⁹³⁵ to war,⁴⁴²¹ and shall ye sit

⁷ And wherefore discourage ye⁵¹⁰⁶⁵¹⁰⁶ the heart³⁸²⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from going over⁵⁶⁷⁴ into the land⁷⁷⁶ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath given

⁸ Thus did⁶²¹³ your fathers,¹ when I sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them from Kadeshbarnea⁶⁹⁴⁷ to see⁷²⁰⁰ the land.

⁹ For when they went up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the valley⁵¹⁵⁸ of Eshcol,⁸¹² and saw⁷²⁰⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ they discouraged⁵¹⁰⁶ the heart³⁸²⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they should not go⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ had given

¹⁰ And the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ the same time,³¹¹⁷ and he sware,⁷⁶⁵⁰ saying,

¹¹^C Surely⁵¹⁸ none of the men⁵⁸² that came up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ shall see⁷²⁰⁰ the land¹²⁷ which I sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto Abraham,⁸⁵ unto Isaac,³³²⁷ and unto Jacob;³²⁹⁰ because they have not wholly⁴³⁹⁰ followed

¹² Save Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh³³¹² the Kenezite,⁷⁰⁷⁴ and Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun:⁵¹²⁶ for they have wholly⁴³⁹⁰ followed³¹⁰ the Lord.

¹³ And the Lord’s³⁰⁶⁸ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he made them wander⁵¹²⁸ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ years,⁸¹⁴¹ until all the generation,¹⁷⁵⁵ that had done⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ was consumed.

¹⁴ And, behold, ye are risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in your fathers'¹ stead, an increase⁸⁶³⁵ of sinful²⁴⁰⁰ men,⁵⁸² to augment⁵⁵⁹⁵ yet the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ toward Israel.

¹⁵ For if ye turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from after³¹⁰ him, he will yet again³²⁵⁴ leave³²⁴⁰ them in the wilderness;⁴⁰⁵⁷ and ye shall destroy⁷⁸⁴³ all this people.

¹⁶ And they came near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ We will build¹¹²⁹ sheepfolds¹⁴⁴⁸⁶⁶²⁹ here for our cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and cities⁵⁸⁹² for our little ones:

¹⁷ But we ourselves⁵⁸⁷ will go ready²³⁶³ armed²⁵⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ until we have brought⁹³⁵ them unto their place:⁴⁷²⁵ and our little ones²⁹⁴⁵ shall dwell³⁴²⁷ in the fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities⁵⁸⁹² because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land.

¹⁸ We will not return⁷⁷²⁵ unto our houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ until the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ have inherited⁵¹⁵⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his inheritance.

¹⁹ For we will not inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ with them on yonder side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan,³³⁸³ or forward;¹⁹⁷³ because our inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ is fallen⁹³⁵ to us on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan³³⁸³ eastward.

²⁰ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If ye will do⁶²¹³ this thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ if ye will go armed²⁵⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ to war,

²¹ And will go⁵⁶⁷⁴ all of you armed²⁵⁰² over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan³³⁸³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ until he hath driven out³⁴²³ his enemies³⁴¹ from before

²² And the land⁷⁷⁶ be subdued³⁵³³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ then afterward³¹⁰ ye shall return,⁷⁷²⁵ and be guiltless⁵³⁵⁵ before the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and before Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and this land⁷⁷⁶ shall be your possession²⁷² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord.

²³^C But if ye will not do so,⁶²¹³ behold, ye have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the Lord:³⁰⁶⁸ and be sure³⁰⁴⁵ your sin²⁴⁰³ will find you out.

²⁴ Build¹¹²⁹ you cities⁵⁸⁹² for your little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ and folds¹⁴⁴⁸ for your sheep;⁶⁷⁹² and do⁶²¹³ that which hath proceeded³³¹⁸ out of your mouth.

²⁵ And the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ will do⁶²¹³ as my lord¹¹³ commandeth.

²⁶ Our little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ our wives,⁸⁰² our flocks,⁴⁷³⁵ and all our cattle,⁹²⁹ shall be there in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Gilead:

²⁷ But thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ will pass over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ every man armed²⁵⁰² for war,⁶⁶³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ as my lord¹¹³ saith.

²⁸ So concerning them Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ fathers¹ of the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:

²⁹ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ will pass with you over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan,³³⁸³ every man armed²⁵⁰² to battle,⁴⁴²¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ and the land⁷⁷⁶ shall be subdued³⁵³³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you; then ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ them the land⁷⁷⁶ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ for a possession:

³⁰ But if they will not pass over⁵⁶⁷⁴ with you armed,²⁵⁰² they shall have possessions²⁷⁰ among⁸⁴³² you in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.

³¹ And the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ answered,⁶⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ As the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ so will we do.

³² We will⁵¹⁶⁸ pass over⁵⁶⁷⁴ armed²⁵⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ that the possession²⁷² of our inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan

³³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto them, even to the children¹¹²¹ of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ and to the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ and unto half²⁶⁷⁷ the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of Og⁵⁷⁴⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Bashan,¹³¹⁶ the land,⁷⁷⁶ with the cities⁵⁸⁹² thereof in the coasts,¹³⁶⁷ even the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the country⁷⁷⁶ round about.

³⁴ And the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ built¹¹²⁹ Dibon,¹⁷⁶⁹ and Ataroth,⁵⁸⁵² and Aroer,

³⁵ And Atroth, Shophan,⁵⁸⁵⁵ and Jaazer,³²⁷⁰ and Jogbehah,

³⁶ And Bethnimrah,¹⁰³⁹ and Bethharan,¹⁰²⁸ fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities:⁵⁸⁹² and folds¹⁴⁴⁸ for sheep.

³⁷ And the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ built¹¹²⁹ Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and Elealeh,⁵⁰⁰ and Kirjathaim,

³⁸ And Nebo,⁵⁰¹⁵ and Baalmeon,¹¹⁸⁶ (their names⁸⁰³⁴ being changed,)⁴¹⁴² and Shibmah:⁷⁶⁴³ and gave⁷¹²¹ other names⁸⁰³⁴⁸⁰³⁴ unto the cities⁵⁸⁹² which they builded.

³⁹ And the children¹¹²¹ of Machir⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ went³²¹² to Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and took³⁹²⁰ it, and dispossessed³⁴²³ the Amorite

⁴⁰ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ unto Machir⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Manasseh;⁴⁵¹⁹ and he dwelt

⁴¹ And Jair²⁹⁷¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ and took³⁹²⁰ the small towns²³³³ thereof, and called⁷¹²¹ them Havothjair.

⁴² And Nobah⁵⁰²⁵ went¹⁹⁸⁰ and took³⁹²⁰ Kenath,⁷⁰⁷⁹ and the villages¹³²³ thereof, and called⁷¹²¹ it Nobah,⁵⁰²⁵ after his own name.

33These are the journeys⁴⁵⁵⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which went forth³³¹⁸ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ with their armies⁶⁶³⁵ under the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron.

⁴⁹ And they pitched²⁵⁸³ by Jordan,³³⁸³ from Bethjesimoth¹⁰²⁰ even unto Abelshittim⁶³ in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab.

⁵⁰ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho,³⁴⁰⁵ saying,

⁵¹ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye are passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan³³⁸³ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan;

⁵² Then ye shall drive out³⁴²³ all the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and destroy⁶ all their pictures,⁴⁹⁰⁶ and destroy⁶ all their molten⁴⁵⁴¹ images,⁶⁷⁵⁴ and quite pluck down⁸⁰⁴⁵ all their high places:

⁵³ And ye shall dispossess³⁴²³ the inhabitants of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and dwell³⁴²⁷ therein: for I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ you the land⁷⁷⁶ to possess

⁵⁴ And ye shall divide⁵¹⁵⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ by lot¹⁴⁸⁶ for an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁷ among your families:⁴⁹⁴⁰ and to the more⁷²²⁷ ye shall give the more⁷²³⁵ inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ and to the fewer⁴⁵⁹² ye shall give the less⁴⁵⁹¹ inheritance:⁵¹⁵⁹ every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot¹⁴⁸⁶ falleth;³³¹⁸ according to the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of your fathers¹ ye shall inherit.

⁵⁵ But if ye will not drive out³⁴²³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain³⁴⁹⁸ of them shall be pricks⁷⁸⁹⁹ in your eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and thorns⁶⁷⁹⁶ in your sides,⁶⁶⁵⁴ and shall vex⁶⁸⁸⁷ you in the land⁷⁷⁶ wherein ye dwell.

⁵⁶ Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do⁶²¹³ unto you, as I thought¹⁸¹⁹ to do

34And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

² Command⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye come⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan;³⁶⁶⁷ (this is the land⁷⁷⁶ that shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ unto you for an inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ even the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan³⁶⁶⁷ with the coasts

³ Then your south⁵⁰⁴⁵ quarter⁶²⁸⁵ shall be from the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Zin⁶⁷⁹⁰ along by the coast³⁰²⁷ of Edom,¹²³ and your south⁵⁰⁴⁵ border¹³⁶⁶ shall be the outmost coast⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the salt⁴⁴¹⁷ sea³²²⁰ eastward:

⁴ And your border¹³⁶⁶ shall turn⁵⁴³⁷ from the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ to the ascent⁴⁶⁰⁸ of Akrabbim,⁴⁶¹⁰ and pass on⁵⁶⁷⁴ to Zin:⁶⁷⁹⁰ and the going forth⁸⁴⁴⁴ thereof shall be from the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ to Kadeshbarnea,⁶⁹⁴⁷ and shall go on³³¹⁸ to Hazaraddar,²⁶⁹² and pass on⁵⁶⁷⁴ to Azmon:

⁵ And the border¹³⁶⁶ shall fetch a compass⁵⁴³⁷ from Azmon⁶¹¹¹ unto the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and the goings out⁸⁴⁴⁴ of it shall be at the sea.

⁶ And as for the western³²²⁰ border,¹³⁶⁶ ye shall even have the great¹⁴¹⁹ sea³²²⁰ for a border:¹³⁶⁶ this shall be your west³²²⁰ border.

⁷ And this shall be your north⁶⁸²⁸ border:¹³⁶⁶ from the great¹⁴¹⁹ sea³²²⁰ ye shall point out⁸³⁷⁶ for you mount²⁰²² Hor:

⁸ From mount²⁰²² Hor²⁰²³ ye shall point out⁸³⁷⁶ your border unto the entrance⁹³⁵ of Hamath;²⁵⁷⁴ and the goings forth⁸⁴⁴⁴ of the border¹³⁶⁶ shall be to Zedad:

⁹ And the border¹³⁶⁶ shall go on³³¹⁸ to Ziphron,²²⁰² and the goings out⁸⁴⁴⁴ of it shall be at Hazarenan:²⁷⁰⁴ this shall be your north⁶⁸²⁸ border.

¹⁰ And ye shall point out¹⁸⁴ your east⁶⁹²⁴ border¹³⁶⁶ from Hazarenan²⁷⁰⁴ to Shepham:

¹¹ And the coast¹³⁶⁶ shall go down³³⁸¹ from Shepham⁸²²¹ to Riblah,⁷²⁴⁷ on the east side⁶⁹²⁴ of Ain;⁵⁸⁷¹ and the border¹³⁶⁶ shall descend,³³⁸¹ and shall reach⁴²²⁹ unto the side³⁸⁰² of the sea³²²⁰ of Chinnereth³⁶⁷² eastward:

¹² And the border¹³⁶⁶ shall go down³³⁸¹ to Jordan,³³⁸³ and the goings out⁸⁴⁴⁴ of it shall be at the salt⁴⁴¹⁷ sea:³²²⁰ this shall be your land⁷⁷⁶ with the coasts¹³⁶⁷ thereof round about.

¹³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ This is the land⁷⁷⁶ which ye shall inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ by lot,¹⁴⁸⁶ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the nine⁸⁶⁷² tribes,⁴²⁹⁴ and to the half²⁶⁷⁷ tribe:

¹⁴ For the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁶ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ and the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Gad¹⁴²⁵ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ have received³⁹⁴⁷ their inheritance; and half²⁶⁷⁷ the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ have received³⁹⁴⁷ their inheritance:

¹⁵ The two⁸¹⁴⁷ tribes⁴²⁹⁴ and the half²⁶⁷⁷ tribe⁴²⁹⁴ have received³⁹⁴⁷ their inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho³⁴⁰⁵ eastward,⁶⁹²⁴ toward the sunrising.

¹⁶ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹⁷ These are the names⁸⁰³⁴ of the men⁵⁸² which shall divide⁵¹⁵⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ unto you: Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun.

¹⁸ And ye shall take³⁹⁴⁷ one²⁵⁹ prince⁵³⁸⁷ of every tribe,⁴²⁹⁴ to divide⁵¹⁵⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ by inheritance.

¹⁹ And the names⁸⁰³⁴ of the men⁵⁸² are these: Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Caleb³⁶¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Jephunneh.

²⁰ And of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Simeon,⁸⁰⁹⁵ Shemuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammihud.

²¹ Of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ Elidad⁴⁴⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Chislon.

²² And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Dan,¹⁸³⁵ Bukki¹²³¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jogli.

²³ The prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ for the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Hanniel²⁵⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Ephod.

²⁴ And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ Kemuel⁷⁰⁵⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Shiphtan.

²⁵ And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ Elizaphan⁴⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Parnach.

²⁶ And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ Paltiel⁶⁴⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Azzan.

²⁷ And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Asher,⁸³⁶ Ahihud²⁸² the son¹¹²¹ of Shelomi.

²⁸ And the prince⁵³⁸⁷ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Naphtali,⁵³²¹ Pedahel⁶³⁰⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammihud.

²⁹ These are they whom the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ to divide the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁷ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.

35And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho,³⁴⁰⁵ saying,

² Command⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ of the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of their possession²⁷² cities⁵⁸⁹² to dwell in;³⁴²⁷ and ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ also unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ for the cities⁵⁸⁹² round about

³ And the cities⁵⁸⁹² shall they have to dwell in;³⁴²⁷ and the suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ of them shall be for their cattle,⁹²⁹ and for their goods,⁷³⁹⁹ and for all their beasts.

⁴ And the suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ of the cities,⁵⁸⁹² which ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ shall reach from the wall⁷⁰²³ of the city⁵⁸⁹² and outward²³⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ round about.

⁵ And ye shall measure⁴⁰⁵⁸ from without²³⁵¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² on the east⁶⁹²⁴ side⁶²⁸⁵ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ cubits,⁵²⁰ and on the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ side⁶²⁸⁵ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ cubits,⁵²⁰ and on the west³²²⁰ side⁶²⁸⁵ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ cubits,⁵²⁰ and on the north⁶⁸²⁸ side⁶²⁸⁵ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ cubits;⁵²⁰ and the city⁵⁸⁹² shall be in the midst:⁸⁴³² this shall be to them the suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ of the cities.

⁶ And among the cities⁵⁸⁹² which ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ there shall be six⁸³³⁷ cities⁵⁸⁹² for refuge,⁴⁷³³ which ye shall appoint⁵⁴¹⁴ for the manslayer,⁷⁵²³ that he may flee⁵¹²⁷ thither: and to them ye shall add⁵⁴¹⁴ forty⁷⁰⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ cities.

⁷ So all the cities⁵⁸⁹² which ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ to the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall be forty⁷⁰⁵ and eight⁸⁰⁸³ cities:⁵⁸⁹² them shall ye give with their suburbs.

⁸ And the cities⁵⁸⁹² which ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ shall be of the possession²⁷² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ from them that have many⁷²²⁷ ye shall give many;⁷²³⁵ but from them that have few⁴⁵⁹² ye shall give few:⁴⁵⁹¹ every one³⁷⁶ shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ of his cities⁵⁸⁹² unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ according⁶³¹⁰ to his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ which he inheriteth.

⁹ And the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,

¹⁰ Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, When ye be come over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan³³⁸³ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan;

¹¹^C Then ye shall appoint⁷¹³⁶ you cities⁵⁸⁹² to be cities⁵⁸⁹² of refuge⁴⁷³³ for you; that the slayer⁷⁵²³ may flee⁵¹²⁷ thither, which killeth⁵²²¹ any person⁵³¹⁵ at unawares.

¹²^C And they shall be unto you cities⁵⁸⁹² for refuge⁴⁷³³ from the avenger;¹³⁵⁰ that the manslayer⁷⁵²³ die⁴¹⁹¹ not, until he stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the congregation⁵⁷¹² in judgment.

¹³ And of these cities⁵⁸⁹² which ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ six⁸³³⁷ cities⁵⁸⁹² shall ye have for refuge.

¹⁴ Ye shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan,³³⁸³ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² shall ye give⁵⁴¹⁴ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ which shall be cities⁵⁸⁹² of refuge.

¹⁵ These six⁸³³⁷ cities⁵⁸⁹² shall be a refuge,⁴⁷³³ both for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and for the stranger,¹⁶¹⁶ and for the sojourner⁸⁴⁵³ among⁸⁴³² them: that every one that killeth⁵²²¹ any person⁵³¹⁵ unawares⁷⁶⁸⁴ may flee

¹⁶ And if he smite⁵²²¹ him with an instrument³⁶²⁷ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ so that he die,⁴¹⁹¹ he is a murderer:⁷⁵²³ the murderer⁷⁵²³ shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ be put to death.

¹⁷ And if he smite⁵²²¹ him with throwing³⁰²⁷ a stone,⁶⁸ wherewith he may die,⁴¹⁹¹ and he die,⁴¹⁹¹ he is a murderer:⁷⁵²³ the murderer⁷⁵²³ shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ be put to death.

¹⁸ Or if he smite⁵²²¹ him with an hand³⁰²⁷ weapon³⁶²⁷ of wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ wherewith he may die,⁴¹⁹¹ and he die,⁴¹⁹¹ he is a murderer:⁷⁵²³ the murderer⁷⁵²³ shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ be put to death.

¹⁹ The revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood¹⁸¹⁸ himself shall slay⁴¹⁹¹ the murderer:⁷⁵²³ when he meeteth⁶²⁹³ him, he¹⁹³¹ shall slay

²⁰ But if he thrust¹⁹²⁰ him of hatred,⁸¹³⁵ or hurl⁷⁹⁹³ at him by laying of wait,⁶⁶⁶⁰ that he die;

²¹ Or in enmity³⁴² smite⁵²²¹ him with his hand,³⁰²⁷ that he die:⁴¹⁹¹ he that smote⁵²²¹ him shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ be put to death;⁴¹⁹¹ for he is a murderer:⁷⁵²³ the revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood¹⁸¹⁸ shall slay⁴¹⁹¹ the murderer,⁷⁵²³ when he meeteth

²² But if he thrust¹⁹²⁰ him suddenly⁶⁶²¹ without³⁸⁰⁸ enmity,³⁴² or have cast⁷⁹⁹³ upon him any thing³⁶²⁷ without laying of wait,

²³ Or with any stone,⁶⁸ wherewith a man may die,⁴¹⁹¹ seeing⁷²⁰⁰ him not,³⁸⁰⁸ and cast⁵³⁰⁷ it upon him, that he die,⁴¹⁹¹ and was not his enemy,³⁴¹ neither sought¹²⁴⁵ his harm:

²⁴^C Then the congregation⁵⁷¹² shall judge⁸¹⁹⁹ between the slayer⁵²²¹ and the revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood¹⁸¹⁸ according to these judgments:

²⁵^C And the congregation⁵⁷¹² shall deliver⁵³³⁷ the slayer⁷⁵²³ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and the congregation⁵⁷¹² shall restore⁷⁷²⁵ him to the city⁵⁸⁹² of his refuge,⁴⁷³³ whither he was fled:⁵¹²⁷ and he shall abide³⁴²⁷ in it unto the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ which was anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ with the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ oil.

²⁶ But if the slayer⁷⁵²³ shall at any time³³¹⁸ come³³¹⁸ without the border¹³⁶⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² of his refuge,⁴⁷³³ whither he was fled;

²⁷ And the revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood¹⁸¹⁸ find⁴⁶⁷² him without²³⁵¹ the borders¹³⁶⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² of his refuge,⁴⁷³³ and the revenger¹³⁵⁰ of blood¹⁸¹⁸ kill⁷⁵²³ the slayer;⁷⁵²³ he shall not be guilty of blood:

²⁸ Because he should have remained³⁴²⁷ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of his refuge⁴⁷³³ until the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest:³⁵⁴⁸ but after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest³⁵⁴⁸ the slayer⁷⁵²³ shall return⁷⁷²⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of his possession.

²⁹ So these things shall be for a statute²⁷⁰⁸ of judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ unto you throughout your generations¹⁷⁵⁵ in all your dwellings.

³⁰ Whoso killeth⁵²²¹ any person,⁵³¹⁵ the murderer⁷⁵²³ shall be put to death⁷⁵²³ by the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of witnesses:⁵⁷⁰⁷ but one²⁵⁹ witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ shall not testify⁶⁰³⁰ against any person⁵³¹⁵ to cause him to die.

³¹^C Moreover ye shall take³⁹⁴⁷ no satisfaction³⁷²⁴ for the life⁵³¹⁵ of a murderer,⁷⁵²³ which is guilty⁷⁵⁶³ of death:⁴¹⁹¹ but he shall be surely⁴¹⁹¹ put to death.

³² And ye shall take³⁹⁴⁷ no satisfaction³⁷²⁴ for him that is fled⁵¹²⁷ to the city⁵⁸⁹² of his refuge,⁴⁷³³ that he should come again⁷⁷²⁵ to dwell³⁴²⁷ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ until the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the priest.

³³ So ye shall not pollute²⁶¹⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ wherein ye are: for blood¹⁸¹⁸ it defileth²⁶¹⁰ the land:⁷⁷⁶ and the land⁷⁷⁶ cannot be cleansed³⁷²² of the blood¹⁸¹⁸ that is shed⁸²¹⁰ therein, but by the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of him that shed

³⁴ Defile²⁹³⁰ not therefore the land⁷⁷⁶ which ye shall inhabit,³⁴²⁷ wherein⁸⁴³² I dwell:⁷⁹³¹ for I the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ dwell⁷⁹³¹ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.

36And the chief⁷²¹⁸ fathers¹ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Machir,⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ of the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ came near,⁷¹²⁶ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the princes,⁵³⁸⁷ the chief⁷²¹⁸ fathers¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:

² And they said,⁵⁵⁹ The Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ my lord¹¹³ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ for an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ by lot¹⁴⁸⁶ to the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and my lord¹¹³ was commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ by the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of Zelophehad⁶⁷⁶⁵ our brother²⁵¹ unto his daughters.

³ And if they be married⁸⁰² to any²⁵⁹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of the other tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ then shall their inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ be taken¹⁶³⁹ from the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of our fathers,¹ and shall be put³²⁵⁴ to the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken¹⁶³⁹ from the lot¹⁴⁸⁶ of our inheritance.

⁴ And when the jubile³¹⁰⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall be, then shall their inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ be put³²⁵⁴ unto the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ be taken away¹⁶³⁹ from the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of our fathers.

⁵ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ according to the word⁶³¹⁰ of the Lord,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Joseph³¹³⁰ hath said

⁶ This is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ doth command⁶⁶⁸⁰ concerning the daughters¹³²³ of Zelophehad,⁶⁷⁶⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let them marry⁸⁰² to whom they think⁵⁸⁶⁹ best;²⁸⁹⁶ only to the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of their father¹ shall they marry.

⁷ So shall not the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ remove⁵⁴³⁷ from tribe⁴²⁹⁴ to tribe:⁴²⁹⁴ for every one³⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall keep¹⁶⁹² himself to the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of his fathers.

⁸ And every daughter,¹³²³ that possesseth³⁴²³ an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in any tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ shall be wife⁸⁰² unto one²⁵⁹ of the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of her father,¹ that the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ may enjoy³⁴²³ every man³⁷⁶ the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of his fathers.

⁹ Neither shall the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ remove⁵⁴³⁷ from one tribe⁴²⁹⁴ to another³¹² tribe;⁴²⁹⁴ but every one³⁷⁶ of the tribes⁴²⁹⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall keep¹⁶⁹² himself to his own inheritance.

¹⁰ Even as the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² so did⁶²¹³ the daughters¹³²³ of Zelophehad:

¹¹ For Mahlah,⁴²⁴⁴ Tirzah,⁸⁶⁵⁶ and Hoglah,²²⁹⁵ and Milcah,⁴⁴³⁵ and Noah,⁵²⁷⁰ the daughters¹³²³ of Zelophehad,⁶⁷⁶⁵ were married⁸⁰² unto their father's¹⁷³⁰ brothers' sons:

¹² And they were married⁸⁰² into the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ and their inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ remained in the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of their father.

¹³ These are the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ and the judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ which the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ by Jordan³³⁸³ near Jericho.
