[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month,
in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying,
[2] Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the
children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their
fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their
polls;
[3] From twenty years old and upward, all that are
able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them
by their armies.
[4] And with you there shall be a man of
every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.
[5]
And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the
tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur.

[17] And Moses and Aaron took
these men which are expressed by their names:
[18] And they
assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the
second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families,
by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
[19] As
the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of
Sinai.
[20] And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest
son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls,

forth to war;

of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five
hundred.

[26] Of the
children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the
house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from

tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six
hundred.
[28] Of the children of Issachar, by their
generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

and four thousand and four hundred.

[33] Those
that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty
thousand and five hundred.
[34] Of the children of
Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
[35]
Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were
thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
[36] Of the
children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,

hundred.
[38] Of the children of Dan, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the

men: each one was for the house of his fathers.
[45] So
were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the
house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war in Israel;
[46] Even all they
that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and
five hundred and fifty.
[47] But the Levites after the
tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
[48]
For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
[49] Only thou
shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel:
[50] But thou shalt appoint
the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the
vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall
bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall
minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
[51]
And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it
down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set
it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[52]
And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his
own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their
hosts.
[53] But the Levites shall pitch round about the
tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation
of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of
the tabernacle of testimony.
[54] And the children of
Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did
they.
Num.2
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[2]
Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard,
with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle
of the congregation shall they pitch.
[3] And on the east
side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the
camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of
Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
[4]
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore
and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
[5] And those that
do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel
the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar.
[6]
And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and
four thousand and four hundred.
[7] Then the tribe of
Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children
of Zebulun.
[8] And his host, and those that were numbered
thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
[9]
All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand
and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout
their armies. These shall first set forth.
[10] On the
south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to
their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be
Elizur the son of Shedeur.
[11] And his host, and those
that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five
hundred.
[12] And those which pitch by him shall be the
tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
[13] And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and
three hundred.
[14] Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain
of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
[15]
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and
five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
[16] All that were
numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and
one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And
they shall set forth in the second rank.
[17] Then the
tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the
Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set
forward, every man in his place by their standards.
[18] On
the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according
to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
[19] And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five
hundred.
[20] And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh:
and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son
of Pedahzur.
[21] And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
[22]
Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin
shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
[23] And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and

[24] All that were numbered of the camp of
Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred,

rank.
[25] The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the

shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
[26] And his host,
and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two
thousand and seven hundred.
[27] And those that encamp by
him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of
Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
[28] And his host,
and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and
five hundred.
[29] Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the
captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of
Enan.
[30] And his host, and those that were numbered of
them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
[31]
All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred
thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go
hindmost with their standards.
[32] These are those which
were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their
fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their
hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred
and fifty.
[33] But the Levites were not numbered among the
children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[34] And
the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward,
every one after their families, according to the house of their
fathers.
Num.3
[1]
These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the
LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
[2] And these are the
names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
[3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron,
the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in
the priest's office.
[4] And Nadab and Abihu died before
the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the
wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and
Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their
father.
[5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[6]
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the
priest, that they may minister unto him.
[7] And they shall
keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the
tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the
tabernacle.
[8] And they shall keep all the instruments of
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of
Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
[9] And thou
shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly
given unto him out of the children of Israel.
[10] And thou
shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their
priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to
death.
[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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 Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
[13]
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the
firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the
LORD.
[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness
of Sinai, saying,
[15] Number the children of Levi after
the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a
month old and upward shalt thou number them.
[16] And Moses
numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their
names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
[18] And these are
the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and
Shimei.
[19] And the sons of Kohath by their families;
Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
[20] And the sons of
Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of
the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
[21]
Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the
Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
[22]
Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of
them were seven thousand and five hundred.
[23] The
families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle
westward.
[24] And the chief of the house of the father of
the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
[25] And
the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering
thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation,
[26] And the hangings of the court, and the
curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by
the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service
thereof.
[27] And of Kohath was the family of the
Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the
Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families
of the Kohathites.
[28] In the number of all the males,
from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred,
keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
[29] The families of
the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle
southward.
[30] And the chief of the house of the father of
the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of
Uzziel.
[31] And their charge shall be the ark, and the
table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the
sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the
service thereof.
[32] And Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the
oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
[33]
Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the
Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
[34] And those
that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males,
from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.
[35]
And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle northward.
[36] And under the custody and charge
of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the
bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and
all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
[37]
And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords.
[38] But those that encamp
before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of
the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons,
keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of
Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[39]
All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered
at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the
males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
[40]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names.
[41] And thou shalt take the Levites
for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the
firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
[42]
And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.
[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 hundred
and threescore and thirteen.
[44] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
[45] Take the Levites instead of all the
firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites
instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the
LORD.
[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 Levites;
[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 sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded
Moses.
Num.4
[1]
And the LORD 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: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
[8]
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the
same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves
thereof.
[9] And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover
the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his
snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister
unto it:
[10] And they shall put it and all the vessels
thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a
bar.
[11] And upon the golden altar they shall spread a
cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and
shall put to the staves thereof:
[12] And they shall take
all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the
sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a
covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
[13]
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon:
[14] And they shall put upon it all
the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the
censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the
vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of
badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
[15] And when
Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and
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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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.
[33] This is the service of the
families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in
the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son
of Aaron the priest.
[34] And Moses and Aaron and the chief
of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their
families, and after the house of their fathers,
[35] From
thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
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 seven hundred and fifty.
[37]
These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites,
all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation,
which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the
LORD by the hand of Moses.
[38] And those that were
numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by
the house of their fathers,
[39] From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the
service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
[40]
Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by
the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and
thirty.
[41] These are they that were numbered of the
families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the
tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number
according to the commandment of the LORD.
[42] And those
that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout
their families, by the house of their fathers,
[43] From
thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
[44] Even those that were numbered of them
after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
[45]
These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the
LORD by the hand of Moses.
[46] All those that were
numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel
numbered, after their families, and after the house of their
fathers,
[47] From thirty years old and upward even unto
fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the
ministry, and the service of the burden in the 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 the LORD 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 the LORD commanded
Moses.
Num.5
[1]
And the LORD 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 Israel did
so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses,
so did the children of Israel.
[5] And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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
the LORD, 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 Israel, which they
bring unto the priest, shall be his.
[10] And every man's
hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest,
it shall be his.
[11] And the LORD 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 the LORD:
[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 the LORD, 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, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy
people, when the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, 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.
Num.6
[1]
And the LORD 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 the LORD:
[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 rasor come upon his head: until the
days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD,
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 the
LORD 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 the LORD.
[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 the LORD 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
the LORD, 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 the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering,
and his burnt offering:
[17] And he shall offer the ram for
a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, 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 the LORD:
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 the
LORD 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 the LORD 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] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
[25]
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee:
[26] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and
give thee peace.
[27] And they shall put my name upon the
children of Israel; and I will bless them.
Num.7
[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 the
LORD, 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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.
Num.8
[1]
And the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
[5]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[6] Take the Levites
from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
[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 the LORD: and the children of Israel
shall put their hands upon the Levites:
[11] And Aaron
shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the
children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the
LORD.
[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 the LORD, 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 the LORD.
[14] Thus shalt thou separate the
Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be
mine.
[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 Israel.
[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 Israel, did to the Levites according
unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did
the children of Israel unto them.
[21] And the Levites were
purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an
offering before the LORD; 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 the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the
Levites, so did they unto them.
[23] And the LORD 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.
Num.9
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the
first month of the second year after they were come out of the land
of Egypt, saying,
[2] Let the children of Israel also keep
the passover at his appointed season.
[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 Israel, that they should keep the passover.
[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 the LORD
commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
[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 the
LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
[8]
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD
will command concerning you.
[9] And the LORD 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 the LORD.
[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 the LORD 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
the LORD; 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 Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there
the children of Israel pitched their tents.
[18] At the
commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the
commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon
the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
[19] And when
the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed
not.
[20] And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon
the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode
in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD they rested
in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they
kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the
hand of Moses.
Num.10
[1]
And the LORD 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 Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness
of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
[13]
And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the
LORD by the hand of Moses.
[14] In the first place went the
standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their
armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
[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 Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
[29]
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD
said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee
good: for the LORD 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 the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto
thee.
[33] And they departed from the mount of the LORD
three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went
before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place
for them.
[34] And the cloud of the LORD 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, LORD, and
let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee
before thee.
[36] And when it rested, he said, Return, O
LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
Num.11
[1]
And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD
heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD 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 the LORD, the fire was quenched.
[3] And he
called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD
burnt among them.
[4] And the mixt multitude that was among
them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[5] We remember the
fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the
melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
[6]
But 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 the
LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
[11]
And Moses said unto the LORD, 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 my wretchedness.
[16]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the
elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people,
and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the
congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
[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 the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you
flesh, and ye shall eat.
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'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 the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the
elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
[25]
And the LORD 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 the LORD's people were prophets, and that
the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
[30] And Moses gat
him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
[31] And
there went forth a wind from the LORD, 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 the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the
people with a very great plague.
[34] And he called the
name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the
people that lusted.
[35] And the people journeyed from
Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
Num.12
[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 the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
[3] (Now the man
Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of
the earth.)
[4] And the LORD 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 the LORD
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 the LORD 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 the LORD shall he behold:
wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant
Moses?
[9] And the anger of the LORD 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 the flesh
is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
[13]
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
thee.
[14] And the LORD 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.
Num.13
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Send thou men,
that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the
children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a
man, every one a ruler among them.
[3] And Moses by the
commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all
those men were heads of the children of Israel.
[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 Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the
children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan
in Egypt.)
[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 Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and
brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and
shewed them the fruit of the land.
[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 Jordan.
[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
Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is
a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people
that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
[33] And
there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants:
and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight.
Num.14
[1]
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the
people wept that night.
[2] And all the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation
said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or
would God we had died in this wilderness!
[3] And wherefore
hath the LORD 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 Egypt?
[4] And they said one to another,
Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
[5]
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of
the congregation of the children of Israel.
[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 Israel, saying, The
land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good
land.
[8] If the LORD 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 the LORD, neither fear
ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence
is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
[10]
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory
of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all
the children of Israel.
[11] And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 LORD art
among this people, that thou LORD 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 the LORD 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
my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
[18]
The LORD 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 Egypt even until now.
[20]
And the LORD 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 the LORD.
[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
Red sea.
[26] And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 the LORD.
[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 Israel: and the people mourned
greatly.
[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 the LORD hath promised: for we have
sinned.
[41] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress
the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
[42]
Go not up, for the LORD 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 the LORD, therefore the LORD will not
be with you.
[44] But they presumed to go up unto the hill
top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, 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.
Num.15
[1]
And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, of the herd, or
of the flock:
[4] Then shall he that offereth his offering
unto the LORD 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 the LORD.
[8] And when thou preparest a
bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow,
or peace offerings unto the LORD:
[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 the LORD.
[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 the LORD.
[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 the LORD; 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 the
LORD.
[16] One law and one manner shall be for you, and for
the stranger that sojourneth with you.
[17] And the LORD
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 the LORD.
[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 the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
[22]
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which
the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
[23] Even all that the
LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the
LORD 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 the
LORD, 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 the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, 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 the LORD, 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 Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth
among them.
[30] But the soul that doeth ought
presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the
same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among
his people.
[31] Because he hath despised the word of the
LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut
off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
[32] And while the
children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that
gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD commanded
Moses.
[37] And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD your God, which brought you
out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
Num.16
[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 the LORD is among them:
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the
LORD?
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD to morrow: and
it shall be that the man whom the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the
LORD: 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
[17]
And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye
before the LORD 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 the LORD appeared unto all the
congregation.
[20] And the LORD 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 the LORD 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
Israel followed him.
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD hath not sent me.
[30]
But if the LORD 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 the LORD.
[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 Israel that were round about
them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow
us up also.
[35] And there came out a fire from the LORD,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
[36]
And the LORD 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 the LORD, therefore they are
hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
[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 the LORD; that he be not as
Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of
Moses.
[41] But on the morrow all the congregation of the
children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying,
Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
[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 the LORD
appeared.
[43] And Moses and Aaron came before the
tabernacle of the congregation.
[44] And the LORD 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 the LORD; 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.
Num.17
[1]
And the LORD 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 Israel, whereby they murmur against
you.
[6] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and
every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince
one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the
rod of Aaron was among their rods.
[7] And Moses laid up
the rods before the LORD 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 the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they
looked, and took every man his rod.
[10] And the LORD 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 the LORD commanded him, so did he.
[12] And the
children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we
perish, we all perish.
[13] Whosoever cometh any thing near
unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with
dying?
Num.18
[1]
And the LORD 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 Israel.
[6]
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the
children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to
do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[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 the LORD 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 Israel: I have given them unto thee, and
to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever:
every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
[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 the LORD,
them have I given thee.
[13] And whatsoever is first ripe
in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine;
every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.
[14]
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
[15] Every
thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the
LORD, 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 the LORD.
[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 Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee,
and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it
is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy
seed with thee.
[20] And the LORD 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 Israel.
[21] And, behold, I have given the
children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for
their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[22] Neither must the children of Israel
henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they
bear sin, and die.
[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 Israel they have no
inheritance.
[24] But the tithes of the children of Israel,
which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to
the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the
children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
[25] And
the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD of all your
tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give
thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
[29]
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the
LORD, 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 Israel,
lest ye die.
Num.19
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[2]
This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD 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 Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth
among them, for a statute for ever.
[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 the LORD; and that soul shall be
cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not
sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon
him.
[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 the LORD: 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.
Num.20
[1]
Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into
the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh;
and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
[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 the LORD!
[4] And why
have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness,
that we and our cattle should die there?
[5] And wherefore
have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this
evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of
pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
[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 the LORD appeared unto them.
[7]
And the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron,
Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the
children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation
into the land which I have given them.
[13] This is the
water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the
LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
[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 the LORD, 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 highway, we will not turn to
the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy
borders.
[18] And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass
by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
[19]
And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way:
and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I
will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
[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 the LORD 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 mount Hor:
[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 the LORD commanded: and they
went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
[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 Israel.
Num.21
[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 the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this
people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
[3]
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he
called the name of the place Hormah.
[4] And they journeyed
from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of
Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the
way.
[5] And the people spake against God, and against
Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the
wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and
our soul loatheth this light bread.
[6] And the LORD sent
fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much
people of Israel died.
[7] Therefore the people came to
Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD,
and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents
from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
[8] And the LORD
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 Israel set forward, and
pitched in Oboth.
[11] And they journeyed from Oboth, and
pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward
the sunrising.
[12] From thence they removed, and pitched
in the valley of Zared.
[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
Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
[14] Wherefore it is
said in the book of the wars of the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which
looketh toward Jeshimon.
[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 Israel to pass through his border: but
Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel
into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against
Israel.
[24] And Israel smote him with the edge of the
sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the
children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was
strong.
[25] And Israel took all these cities: and Israel
dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the
villages thereof.
[26] For Heshbon was the city of Sihon
the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of
Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
[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, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath
given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto
Sihon king of the Amorites.
[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 Israel
dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
[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 Bashan went out against
them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
[34]
And the LORD 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.
Num.22
[1]
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of
Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
[2] And Balak the son
of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
[3]
And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and
Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
[4]
And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick
up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the
field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that
time.
[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 Moab and
the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their
hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of
Balak.
[8] And he said unto them, Lodge here this night,
and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and
the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
[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 the LORD
refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
[14] And the
princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam
refuseth to come with us.
[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 the LORD my God, to do less
or more.
[19] Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here
this night, that I may know what the LORD 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 Moab.
[22] And God's anger was kindled because
he went: and the angel of the LORD 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 the LORD
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 the LORD 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 the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed
Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
[26]
And the angel of the LORD 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 the LORD, she
fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote
the ass with a staff.
[28] And the LORD 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 the LORD opened the eyes
of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 Moab, which is in the border of
Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
[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 Kirjath-huzoth.
[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.
Num.23
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 Moab.
[7]
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath
brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come,
curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
[8] How shall I
curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD
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
Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like his!
[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 the LORD 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 the
LORD yonder.
[16] And the LORD 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 Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the
LORD spoken?
[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 Israel: the LORD his God is with
him, and the shout of a king is among them.
[22] God
brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn.
[23] Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob,
neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this
time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God
wrought!
[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 the LORD 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.
Num.24
[1]
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went
not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face
toward the wilderness.
[2] And Balaam lifted up his eyes,
and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and
the spirit of God came upon him.
[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 the LORD 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 Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall
break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
[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, the LORD 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 the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the
LORD 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 Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for
his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
[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 Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for
ever.
[25] And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his
place: and Balak also went his way.
Num.25
[1]
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab.
[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 Israel joined himself unto
Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
[4]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger
of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
[5] And Moses
said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were
joined unto Baal-peor.
[6] And, behold, one of the children
of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in
the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the
children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
[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 Israel.
[9] And
those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
[10]
And the LORD 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
Israel.
[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 the LORD 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.
Num.26
[1]
And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
[2]
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all
that are able to go to war in Israel.
[3] And Moses and
Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho, saying,
[4] Take the sum of the people, from
twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the
children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.
[5]
Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, of
whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the
Palluites:
[6] Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of
Carmi, the family of the Carmites.
[7] These are the
families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were
forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
[8]
And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
[9] And the sons of Eliab;
Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which
were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against
Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the
LORD:
[10] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the
fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
[11]
Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.
[12] The
sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the
Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the

[33]
And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the

thousand and seven hundred.

them were forty and five thousand and six hundred.
[42]
These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family

[43] All the families of the Shuhamites,

[44] Of the children of

hundred.

numbered of them were forty and five thousand and four hundred.
[51]
These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred
thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.
[52] And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[53] Unto these the land
shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of
names.
[54] To many thou shalt give the more inheritance,
and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall
his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of
him.
[55] Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot:
according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall
inherit.
[56] According to the lot shall the possession
thereof be divided between many and few.
[57] And these are
they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of
Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the
Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
[58]
These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites,
the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family
of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat
Amram.
[59] And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the
daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare
unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
[60]
And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[61]
And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the
LORD.
[62] And those that were numbered of them were twenty
and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they
were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no
inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
[63]
These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho.
[64] But among these there was not a man of
them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the
children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
[65] For the
LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And
there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num.27
[1]
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
[2] And
they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before
the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, saying,
[3] Our father died in the
wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered
themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but
died in his own sin, and had no sons.
[4] Why should the
name of our father be done away from among his family, because he
hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren
of our father.
[5] And Moses brought their cause before the
LORD.
[6] And the LORD spake unto Moses, 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.
[8] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his
inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
[9] And if he have
no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
[10] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall
give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
[11] And
if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall
possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of
judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[12] And the LORD
said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land
which I have given unto the children of Israel.
[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 desert of Zin, in the strife of the
congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is
the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
[15]
And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
[16] Let the LORD,
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 the LORD be not as sheep
which have no shepherd.
[18] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay
thine hand upon him;
[19] And set him before Eleazar the
priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in
their sight.
[20] And thou shalt put some of thine honour
upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be
obedient.
[21] And he shall stand before Eleazar the
priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim
before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they
shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even
all the congregation.
[22] And Moses did as the LORD
commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the
priest, and before all the congregation:
[23] And he laid
his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by
the hand of Moses.
Num.28
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Command the
children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for
my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season.
[3] And thou
shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall
offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by
day, for a continual burnt offering.
[4] The one lamb shalt
thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at
even;
[5] And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat
offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
[6]
It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
[7]
And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for
the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to
be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
[8] And the
other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[9]
And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and
two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and
the drink offering thereof:
[10] This is the burnt offering
of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering.
[11] And in the beginnings of your months ye
shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and
one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;
[12]
And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil,
for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, for one ram;
[13] And a several tenth
deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for
a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the
LORD.
[14] And their drink offerings shall be half an hin
of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and
a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of
every month throughout the months of the year.
[15] And one
kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered,
beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[16]
And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD.
[17] And in the fifteenth day of this month is the
feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
[18] In
the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:
[19] But ye shall offer a sacrifice
made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks,
and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto
you without blemish:
[20] And their meat offering shall be
of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a
bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
[21] A several
tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven
lambs:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering, to make an
atonement for you.
[23] Ye shall offer these beside the
burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt
offering.
[24] After this manner ye shall offer daily,
throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the
continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[25] And
on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work.
[26] Also in the day of the firstfruits, when
ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out,
ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
[27]
But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first
year;
[28] And their meat offering of flour mingled with
oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one
ram,
[29] A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout
the seven lambs;
[30] And one kid of the goats, to make an
atonement for you.
[31] Ye shall offer them beside the
continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto
you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
Num.29
[1]
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of
blowing the trumpets unto you.
[2] And ye shall offer a
burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock,
one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
[3]
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
[4]
And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
[5]
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for
you:
[6] Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his
meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering,
and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
[7] And ye
shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any
work therein:
[8] But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto
the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven
lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
[9]
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
[10]
A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
[11]
One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of
atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of
it, and their drink offerings.
[12] And on the fifteenth
day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven
days:
[13] And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young
bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall
be without blemish:
[14] And their meat offering shall be
of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of
the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two
rams,
[15] And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the
fourteen lambs:
[16] And one kid of the goats for a sin
offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and
his drink offering.
[17] And on the second day ye shall
offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first
year without spot:
[18] And their meat offering and their
drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs,
shall be according to their number, after the manner:
[19]
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink
offerings.
[20] And on the third day eleven bullocks, two
rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;
[21]
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering;
beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his
drink offering.
[23] And on the fourth day ten bullocks,
two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
[24]
Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner:
[25] And one kid of the goats for a sin
offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and
his drink offering.
[26] And on the fifth day nine
bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without
spot:
[27] And their meat offering and their drink
offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be
according to their number, after the manner:
[28] And one
goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his
meat offering, and his drink offering.
[29] And on the
sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first
year without blemish:
[30] And their meat offering and
their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
[31]
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[32] And on the
seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first
year without blemish:
[33] And their meat offering and
their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
[34]
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering.
[35] On the
eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile
work therein:
[36] But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock,
one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
[37]
Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for
the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after
the manner:
[38] And one goat for a sin offering; beside
the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink
offering.
[39] These things ye shall do unto the LORD in
your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for
your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink
offerings, and for your peace offerings.
[40] And Moses
told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses.
Num.30
[1]
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children
of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
[2] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 the
LORD 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
the LORD 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 the LORD commanded Moses, between a man
and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her
youth in her father's house.
Num.31
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Avenge the
children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be
gathered unto thy people.
[3] And Moses spake unto the
people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go
against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
[4]
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall
ye send to the war.
[5] So there were delivered out of the
thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed
for war.
[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 the
LORD 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 Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and
their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all
their flocks, and all their goods.
[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 Israel, unto the
camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
[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
Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the
LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the
congregation of the LORD.
[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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD.
[30] And of the children of Israel's
half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the
beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and
give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the LORD.
[31] And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as
the LORD 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 woman 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 the
LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
[38] And the beeves were thirty and six thousand;
of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
[39]
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
[40] And the persons
were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two
persons.
[41] And Moses gave the tribute, which was the
LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD 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 the
LORD; as the LORD 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 the LORD, what every man
hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the
LORD.
[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 the LORD, 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 Israel before the LORD.
Num.32
[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 the LORD 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 Israel from going over into the land
which the LORD hath given them?
[8] Thus did your fathers,
when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
[9]
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they
should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
[10]
And the LORD'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 the LORD.
[13] And the LORD's anger was kindled
against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty
years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of
the LORD, was consumed.
[14] And, behold, ye are risen up
in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the
fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
[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 Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance.
[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 the LORD to war,
[21] And will go all of you
armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his
enemies from before him,
[22] And the land be subdued
before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless
before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your
possession before the LORD.
[23] But if ye will not do so,
behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: 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 Gilead:
[27]
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the
LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the
LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
[32] We
will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that
the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be
ours.
[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 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced
cities: and folds for sheep.
[37] And the children of
Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
[38] And
Nebo, and Baal-meon, (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 Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
[40]
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein.
[41] And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took
the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.
[42]
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called
it Nobah, after his own name.
Num.33
[1]
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth
out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses
and Aaron.
[2] And Moses wrote their goings out according
to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their
journeys according to their goings out.
[3] And they
departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the
first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel
went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
[4]
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed
judgments.
[5] And the children of Israel removed from
Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
[6] And they departed from
Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the
wilderness.
[7] And they removed from Etham, and turned
again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched
before Migdol.
[8] And they departed from before
Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the
wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham,
and pitched in Marah.
[9] And they removed from Marah, and
came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and
threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
[10]
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
[11]
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of
Sin.
[12] And they took their journey out of the wilderness
of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
[13] And they departed
from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
[14] And they removed
from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the
people to drink.
[15] And they departed from Rephidim, and
pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
[16] And they removed
from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.
[17]
And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at
Hazeroth.
[18] And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched
in Rithmah.
[19] And they departed from Rithmah, and
pitched at Rimmon-parez.
[20] And they departed from
Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
[21] And they removed
from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
[22] And they journeyed
from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
[23] And they went
from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
[24] And
they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
[25]
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
[26]
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
[27]
And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
[28]
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
[29]
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
[30]
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
[31]
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
[32]
And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
[33]
And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
[34]
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
[35]
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
[36]
And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which is Kadesh.
[37] And they removed from Kadesh,
and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
[38]
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the
LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of
Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the
fifth month.
[39] And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and
three years old when he died in mount Hor.
[40] And king
Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan,
heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
[41] And
they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
[42]
And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
[43]
And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

[47] And they removed
from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before
Nebo.
[48] And they departed from the mountains of Abarim,
and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
[49]
And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim
in the plains of Moab.
[50] And the LORD 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.
Num.34
[1]
And the LORD 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 Kadesh-barnea, and
shall go on to Hazar-addar, 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 Hazar-enan: this shall
be your north border.
[10] And ye shall point out your east
border from Hazar-enan 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD commanded to
divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of
Canaan.
Num.35
[1]
And the LORD 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 Israel: from them that have
many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give
few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to
his inheritance which he inheriteth.
[9] And the LORD 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 land of Canaan, which
shall be cities of refuge.
[15] These six cities shall be a
refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and
for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person
unawares may flee thither.
[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 the LORD dwell among the
children of Israel.
Num.36
[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, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance
by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD 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 Israel, then shall their
inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall
be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received:
so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
[4]
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
[5] And Moses
commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD,
saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
[6]
This is the thing which the LORD 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
Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of
Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his
fathers.
[8] And every daughter, that possesseth an
inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife
unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children
of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
[9]
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe;
but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep
himself to his own inheritance.
[10] Even as the LORD
commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
[11]
For Mahlal, 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 the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the
children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
