12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel
instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of

both man and beast: Mine shall they be: I [am] Yahweh.
14 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the
commandment of Yahweh, throughout their families, all the males from a month
old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.
40 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the
children of
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for Me (I [am] Yahweh) instead of all the
firstborn among the children of
42 And Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the
children of
43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and
upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two

Mine: I [am] Yahweh.
46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and
thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the

47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of
the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs:)
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be
redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them
that were redeemed by the Levites:
50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand
three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and
unto Aaron, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter
into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation, [about] the most holy things:
5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they
shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over
[it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal:

all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that,
the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it]: but they shall not touch [any] holy
thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in
the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 And to the office of Eleazar the
son of Aaron the priest [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet
incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the
oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein [is], in the
sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the
Levites:
19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach
unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every
one to his service and to his burden:
20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they
die.
21 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their
fathers, by their families;
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number
them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
24 This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for
burdens:
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that
[is] above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of
the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their
cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them:
so shall they serve.
27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the
sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye
shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
28 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be] under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by
the house of their fathers;
30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number
them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
31 And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to all their service in
the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars
thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins,
and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by
name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.

all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,

entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand

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

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

plague, that Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest, saying,

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as
Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against My commandment in the
15 And Moses spake unto Yahweh, saying,
16 Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may
lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of Yahweh be
not as sheep which have no shepherd.

[is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering made by fire which ye

40 And Moses told the children of
1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
2 If a man vow a vow unto Yahweh, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond;
he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out
of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto Yahweh, and bind herself by a bond, [being] in
her father's house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul,
and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her
vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and
Yahweh shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he
heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he
shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and Yahweh shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have
bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an
oath;
11 And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her
not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul
shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them;
then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning
the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and
Yahweh shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may
establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he
establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he
confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard
[them].
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard [them];
then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These [are] the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and
his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her
father's house.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war,
and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge Yahweh of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments,
and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they
slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain;
[namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian:
Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly
castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and
Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation,
went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over
thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that
hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him,
keep alive for yourselves.
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any
person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your
captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work
of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle,
This [is] the ordinance of the law which Yahweh commanded Moses;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire,
and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of
separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the
water.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean,
and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou,
and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 And levy a tribute unto Yahweh of the men of war which went out to battle:
one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the
asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take [it] of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an heave
offering of Yahweh.
30 And of the children of
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught,
was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man
by lying with him.
36 And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in
number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred
sheep:
37 And Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
38 And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which Yahweh's tribute
[was] threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which Yahweh's
tribute [was] threescore and one.
40 And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which Yahweh's tribute [was]
thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] Yahweh's heave offering, unto
Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that
warred,
43 (Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
[both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the
charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
48 And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war
which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for Yahweh, what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets,
to make an atonement for our souls before Yahweh.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought
jewels.
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the
captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 ([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands
and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for]
a memorial for the children of
1 Now the children of Reuben and
the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the
land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place
for cattle;
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and
to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 [Even] the country which Yahweh smote before the congregation of Israel, [is]
a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be
given unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall
your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the
10 And Yahweh's anger was kindled the same time, and He sware, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and
upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me:
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for
they have wholly followed Yahweh.
13 And Yahweh's anger was kindled
against
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful
men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Yahweh toward
15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the
wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our
cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we
have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the
fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of
19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because
our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed
before Yahweh to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before Yahweh, until He hath driven
out His enemies from before Him,
22 And the land be subdued before Yahweh: then afterward ye shall return, and
be guiltless before Yahweh, and before Israel; and this land shall be your
possession before Yahweh.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Yahweh: and be sure
your sin will find you out.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that
which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying,
Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there
in the cities of
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before Yahweh to
battle, as my lord saith.
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of
Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before Yahweh, and
the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of
Gilead for a possession:
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions
among you in the land of Canaan.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As
Yahweh hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the
33 And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children
of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom
of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land,
with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the cities of the country round
about.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave
other names unto the cities which they builded.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to

called them Havothjair.

Nobah, after his own name.

commandment of Yahweh: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings
out.

the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of

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