1 {1:1} 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, {1:2} 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; {1:3}
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. {1:4} And with you there shall be a man of
every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.
{1:5} And these [are] the names of the men that shall
stand with you: of [the tribe of] Reuben; Elizur the son of

{1:17} And Moses and Aaron took these men which are
expressed by [their] names: {1:18} 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.
{1:19} As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered
them in the wilderness of Sinai. {1:20} 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, every male from

twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war in Israel; {1:46} Even all they that were numbered
were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.
{1:47} But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were
not numbered among them. {1:48} For the LORD had
spoken unto Moses, saying, {1:49} Only thou shalt not
number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel: {1:50} 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. {1:51} 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. {1:52}
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. {1:53} 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. {1:54} And the children of Israel did according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

2 {2:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying, {2:2} 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. {2:3} 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.
{2:4} And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
[were] threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
{2:5} 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. {2:6} And his host, and
those that were numbered thereof, [were] fifty and four
thousand and four hundred. {2:7} [Then] the tribe of
Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon [shall be] captain of
the children of Zebulun. {2:8} And his host, and those that
were numbered thereof, [were] fifty and seven thousand and
four hundred. {2:9} 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.
{2:10} 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. {2:11} And his host, and those that were
numbered thereof, [were] forty and six thousand and five
hundred. {2:12} 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. {2:13}
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. {2:14} Then the
tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be]
Eliasaph the son of Reuel. {2:15} And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, [were] forty and five thousand
and six hundred and fifty. {2:16} 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.
{2:17} 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.
{2:18} 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. {2:19} And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, [were] forty thousand and five hundred.
{2:20} And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the
captain of the children of Manasseh [shall be] Gamaliel the
son of Pedahzur. {2:21} And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, [were] thirty and two thousand and two
hundred. {2:22} Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain
of the sons of Benjamin [shall be] Abidan the son of
Gideoni. {2:23} And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, [were] thirty and five thousand and four
hundred. {2:24} All that were numbered of the camp of
Ephraim [were] an hundred thousand and eight thousand
and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go
forward in the third rank.
{2:25} The standard of the camp of Dan [shall be] on the
north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of
Dan [shall be] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {2:26}
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. {2:27}
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. {2:28} And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, [were] forty and one thousand and five
hundred.
{2:29} Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the
children of Naphtali [shall be] Ahira the son of Enan.
{2:30} And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
[were] fifty and three thousand and four hundred. {2:31}
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.
{2:32} 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. {2:33} But the Levites were not numbered among
the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
{2:34} 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.

3 {3:1} These also [are] the generations of Aaron and
Moses in the day [that] the LORD spake with Moses in
mount Sinai. {3:2} And these [are] the names of the sons
of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar. {3:3} These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron,
the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to
minister in the priest’s office. {3:4} 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.
{3:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {3:6}
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister unto him. {3:7} 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. {3:8} 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. {3:9} And thou shalt give the Levites unto
Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given unto him out
of the children of Israel. {3:10} 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. {3:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{3:12} 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; {3:13} 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.
{3:14} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, saying, {3:15} 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.
{3:16} And Moses numbered them according to the word of
the LORD, as he was commanded. {3:17} And these were
the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and
Merari. {3:18} And these [are] the names of the sons of
Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei. {3:19} And
the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
Hebron, and Uzziel. {3:20} 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. {3:21} Of
Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimites: these [are] the families of the Gershonites.
{3:22} 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. {3:23} The families of the
Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
{3:24} And the chief of the house of the father of the
Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael. {3:25} 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, {3:26} 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.
{3:27} 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. {3:28} 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.
{3:29} The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the
side of the tabernacle southward. {3:30} And the chief of
the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites
[shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. {3:31} 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.
{3:32} 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.
{3:33} Of Merari [was] the family of the Mahlites, and
the family of the Mushites: these [are] the families of
Merari. {3:34} 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. {3:35}
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. {3:36} 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, {3:37} And the pillars of the
court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and
their cords.
{3:38} 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. {3:39} 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.
{3:40} 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. {3:41}
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. {3:42} And Moses
numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel. {3:43} 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.
{3:44} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {3:45}
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.
{3:46} 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; {3:47}
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:) {3:48} And thou shalt give the
money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be
redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. {3:49} And Moses
took the redemption money of them that were over and
above them that were redeemed by the Levites: {3:50} 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: {3:51} 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.

4 {4:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying, {4:2} Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from
among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, {4:3} 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. {4:4} This [shall
be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle
of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:
{4:5} 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: {4:6} 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. {4:7} 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: {4:8} 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. {4:9} 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: {4:10} And they shall put
it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers’
skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar. {4:11} 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: {4:12} 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: {4:13} And
they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon: {4:14} 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. {4:15}
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.
{4:16} 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.
{4:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying, {4:18} Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the
Kohathites from among the Levites: {4:19} 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: {4:20} But they shall not go in to see when the
holy things are covered, lest they die.
{4:21} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {4:22}
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
houses of their fathers, by their families; {4:23} 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. {4:24} This [is] the
service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for
burdens: {4:25} 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, {4:26} 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. {4:27} 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. {4:28} 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.
{4:29} As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them
after their families, by the house of their fathers; {4:30}
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. {4:31} 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, {4:32}
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. {4:33} 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.
{4:34} 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, {4:35}
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: {4:36} And those that were
numbered of them by their families were two thousand
seven hundred and fifty. {4:37} 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. {4:38}
And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,
throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
{4:39} 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, {4:40} Even
those that were numbered of them, throughout their
families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand
and six hundred and thirty. {4:41} 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.
{4:42} And those that were numbered of the families of
the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house
of their fathers, {4:43} 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,
{4:44} Even those that were numbered of them after their
families, were three thousand and two hundred. {4:45}
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.
{4:46} 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, {4:47}
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, {4:48} Even those that were numbered of
them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
{4:49} 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.

5 {5:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:2}
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: {5:3} 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. {5:4} 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.
{5:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:6}
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; {5:7} 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. {5:8} 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. {5:9} And every offering of all the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the
priest, shall be his. {5:10} And every man’s hallowed things
shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall
be his.
{5:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:12}
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any
man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
{5:13} 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;] {5:14} 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: {5:15} 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 frank-
incense thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an
offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
{5:16} And the priest shall bring her near, and set her
before the LORD: {5:17} 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: {5:18} 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: {5:19} 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: {5:20} 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: {5:21} 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; {5:22} 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. {5:23} And the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:
{5:24} 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. {5:25}
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: {5:26} 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. {5:27} 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. {5:28} And if the woman be not defiled, but be
clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
{5:29} This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth
aside [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;
{5:30} 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.
{5:31} Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and
this woman shall bear her iniquity.

6 {6:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:2}
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:
{6:3} 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. {6:4} All the days of his
separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree,
from the kernels even to the husk. {6:5} All the days of the
vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his
head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth
[himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let
the locks of the hair of his head grow. {6:6} All the days
that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at
no dead body. {6:7} He shall not make himself unclean for
his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister,
when they die: because the consecration of his God [is]
upon his head. {6:8} All the days of his separation he [is]
holy unto the LORD. {6:9} 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. {6:10} 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: {6:11} 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. {6:12} 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.
{6:13} 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: {6:14} 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, {6:15}
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.
{6:16} And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD,
and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
{6:17} 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. {6:18} 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. {6:19} 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: {6:20} 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. {6:21} 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.
{6:22} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:23}
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye
shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, {6:24}
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: {6:25} The LORD
make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
{6:26} The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and
give thee peace. {6:27} And they shall put my name upon
the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

7 {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;
{7:2} 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: {7:3} 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.
{7:4} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {7:5} 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.
{7:6} And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave
them unto the Levites. {7:7} Two wagons and four oxen he
gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
{7:8} 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. {7:9} 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.
{7:10} 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. {7:11} And the LORD said unto
Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his
day, for the dedicating of the altar.
{7:12} And he that offered his offering the first day was
Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

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.

8 {8:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:2}
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the
lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick. {8:3} And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps
thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD
commanded Moses. {8:4} 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.
{8:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:6}
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them. {8:7} 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. {8:8} 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. {8:9} 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: {8:10} And thou shalt bring the Levites before the
LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon
the Levites: {8:11} 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. {8:12} 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. {8:13} And thou shalt set the
Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them
[for] an offering unto the LORD. {8:14} Thus shalt thou
separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and
the Levites shall be mine. {8:15} 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. {8:16} 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. {8:17} 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. {8:18} And I have
taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of
Israel. {8:19} 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. {8:20} 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. {8:21} 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. {8:22} 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.
{8:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:24}
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: {8:25}
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting
upon the service [thereof,] and shall serve no more: {8:26}
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.

9 {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, {9:2} Let the
children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed
season. {9:3} 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. {9:4} And Moses spake unto the children of
Israel, that they should keep the passover. {9:5} 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.
{9:6} 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: {9:7} 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? {9:8} And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I
will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
{9:9} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {9:10}
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. {9:11} The fourteenth day of the
second month at even they shall keep it, [and] eat it with
unleavened bread and bitter [herbs.] {9:12} 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. {9:13} 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. {9:14} 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.
{9:15} 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. {9:16} So it
was alway: the cloud covered it [by day,] and the
appearance of fire by night. {9:17} 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. {9:18} 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. {9:19} 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. {9:20}
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. {9:21} 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. {9:22} 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. {9:23} 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.

10 {10:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {10:2}
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.
{10:3} And when they shall blow with them, all the
assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation. {10:4} And if they blow
[but] with one [trumpet,] then the princes, [which are] heads
of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
{10:5} When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on
the east parts shall go forward. {10:6} 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. {10:7} But when the congregation is to be
gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an
alarm. {10:8} 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. {10:9} 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. {10:10} 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.
{10:11} 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. {10:12} And
the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness
of Paran. {10:13} And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand
of Moses.
{10:14} 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. {10:15}
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
[was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar. {10:16} And over the host
of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of
Helon. {10:17} And the tabernacle was taken down; and the
sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing
the tabernacle.
{10:18} And the standard of the camp of Reuben set
forward according to their armies: and over his host [was]
Elizur the son of Shedeur. {10:19} And over the host of the
tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai. {10:20} And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. {10:21}
And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and
[the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.
{10:22} 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. {10:23} And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [was]
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. {10:24} And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son
of Gideoni.
{10:25} 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. {10:26} And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
{10:27} And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan. {10:28} Thus [were]
the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their
armies, when they set forward.
{10:29} 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. {10:30} And he said unto
him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to
my kindred. {10:31} 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.
{10:32} 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.
{10:33} 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. {10:34} And the cloud
of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out
of the camp. {10:35} 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. {10:36} And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD,
unto the many thousands of Israel.

11 {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. {11:2} And the people cried unto Moses; and when
Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
{11:3} And he called the name of the place Taberah:
because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
{11:4} 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? {11:5} 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: {11:6} But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is]
nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes. {11:7}
And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour
thereof as the colour of bdellium.1 {11:8} [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. {11:9}
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the
manna fell upon it.
{11:10} 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. {11:11} 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? {11:12} Have I con-
ceived 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? {11:13} Whence
should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they
weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
{11:14} I am not able to bear all this people alone, because
[it is] too heavy for me. {11:15} 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.
{11:16} 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. {11:17} 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. {11:18} 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. {11:19} Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five
days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; {11:20} [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? {11:21} 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. {11:22} 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? {11:23} 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.
{11:24} 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. {11:25} 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. {11:26} 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. {11:27} And there ran a young
man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do
prophesy in the camp. {11:28} And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and
said, My lord Moses, forbid them. {11:29} 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! {11:30} And Moses gat him into
the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
{11:31} 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. {11:32}
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. {11:33}
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. {11:34} And he called the name of that place Kibroth-
hattaavah: because there they buried the people that
lusted. {11:35} [And] the people journeyed from Kibroth-
hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

12 {12:1} And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses be-
cause of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he
had married an Ethiopian woman. {12:2} And they said, Hath
the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it.] {12:3} (Now
the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which
[were] upon the face of the earth.) {12:4} 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. {12:5} 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. {12:6} 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. {12:7} My servant Moses [is] not so,
who [is] faithful in all mine house. {12:8} 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? {12:9} And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against them; and he departed. {12:10} 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. {12:11} 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. {12:12} Let her not be as one dead, of
whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his
mother’s womb. {12:13} And Moses cried unto the LORD,
saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
{12:14} 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 ] {12:15} And Miriam was shut
out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not
till Miriam was brought in [again.] {12:16} And afterward
the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran.

13 {13:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {13:2}
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. {13:3} 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. {13:4} And
these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua
the son of Zaccur. {13:5} Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat
the son of Hori. {13:6} Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son
of Jephunneh. {13:7} Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son
of Joseph. {13:8} Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of
Nun. {13:9} Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of
Raphu. {13:10} Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of
Sodi. {13:11} Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of
Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. {13:12} Of the tribe of
Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. {13:13} Of the tribe of
Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. {13:14} Of the tribe of
Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. {13:15} Of the tribe of
Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. {13:16} These [are] the
names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land.
And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
{13:17} 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: {13:18} And see
the land, what it [is;] and the people that dwelleth therein,
whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many; {13:19}
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; {13:20} 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.
{13:21} So they went up, and searched the land from the
wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
{13:22} 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.) {13:23} 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. {13:24}
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the
cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from
thence. {13:25} And they returned from searching of the
land after forty days.
{13:26} 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. {13:27} 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.
{13:28} 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. {13:29} 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. {13:30} 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. {13:31} 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. {13:32} 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. {13:33} 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.

14 {14:1} And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and
cried; and the people wept that night. {14:2} 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! {14:3} 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? {14:4} And they said
one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into
Egypt. {14:5} Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the assembly of the congregation of the children
of Israel.
{14:6} And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land,
rent their clothes: {14:7} 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.
{14:8} 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. {14:9} 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. {14:10} 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.
{14:11} 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? {14:12} I will smite them with the pestilence, and
disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and
mightier than they.
{14:13} And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the
Egyptians shall hear [it,] (for thou broughtest up this people
in thy might from among them;) {14:14} 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 daytime in a pillar of a
cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
{14:15} Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one
man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee
will speak, saying, {14:16} 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. {14:17} And
now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
according as thou hast spoken, saying, {14:18} 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.] {14:19} 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. {14:20} And the LORD said, I have
pardoned according to thy word: {14:21} But [as] truly [as]
I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the
LORD. {14:22} 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; {14:23} Surely they shall
not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither
shall any of them that provoked me see it: {14:24} 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. {14:25}
(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.
{14:26} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, {14:27} 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. {14:28} Say unto them, [As truly as] I
live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so
will I do to you: {14:29} 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, {14:30} 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. {14:31} 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. {14:32}
But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
wilderness. {14:33} And your children shall wander in the
wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your
carcases be wasted in the wilderness. {14:34} 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.
{14:35} 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. {14:36} 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, {14:37} Even those men that did bring up the evil
report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
{14:38} 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.] {14:39} And Moses told these sayings
unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned
greatly.
{14:40} 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. {14:41} And Moses said,
Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the
LORD? but it shall not prosper. {14:42} Go not up, for the
LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before
your enemies. {14:43} 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. {14:44} 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. {14:45} Then the Amalekites came down, and the
Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and
discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah.

15 {15:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {15:2}
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, {15:3} 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:
{15:4} 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. {15:5} 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.
{15:6} 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. {15:7} And for a drink offering thou shalt offer
the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto
the LORD. {15:8} And when thou preparest a bullock [for]
a burnt offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or
peace offerings unto the LORD: {15:9} Then shall he bring
with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour
mingled with half an hin of oil. {15:10} 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. {15:11}
Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for
a lamb, or a kid. {15:12} According to the number that ye
shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their
number. {15:13} 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. {15:14} 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.
{15:15} 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. {15:16} One law
and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
{15:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{15:18} Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
{15:19} Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of
the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
{15:20} 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. {15:21} Of the first of
your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering
in your generations.
{15:22} And if ye have erred, and not observed all these
commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
{15:23} [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; {15:24} 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. {15:25} 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:
{15:26} 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.
{15:27} And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he
shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
{15:28} 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. {15:29} 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.
{15:30} 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. {15:31} 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.
{15:32} And while the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the
sabbath day. {15:33} And they that found him gathering
sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the
congregation. {15:34} And they put him in ward, because it
was not declared what should be done to him. {15:35} 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. {15:36} And all the congregation brought
him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he
died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
{15:37} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{15:38} 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: {15:39} 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: {15:40} That
ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be
holy unto your God. {15:41} 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.

16 {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:]
{16:2} 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:
{16:3} 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? {16:4} And when Moses heard [it,] he fell
upon his face: {16:5} 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. {16:6} This do; Take you
censers, Korah, and all his company; {16:7} 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. {16:8} And Moses said unto Korah,
Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: {16:9} [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?
{16:10} And he hath brought thee near [to him,] and all thy
brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the
priesthood also? {16:11} For which cause [both] thou and
all thy company [are] gathered together against the LORD:
and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
{16:12} And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the
sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: {16:13} [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? {16:14} 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. {16:15} 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. {16:16} And Moses said
unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD,
thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: {16:17} 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.
{16:18} 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.
{16:19} 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. {16:20} And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying, {16:21} Separate yourselves from
among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
moment. {16:22} 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?
{16:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{16:24} Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up
from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
{16:25} And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and
Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. {16:26} 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. {16:27} 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. {16:28} 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.
{16:29} 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. {16:30} 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.
{16:31} 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: {16:32} 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. {16:33}
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. {16:34} And all
Israel that [were] round about them fled at the cry of them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also.] {16:35}
And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed
the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
{16:36} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{16:37} 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. {16:38} 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. {16:39} 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: {16:40} [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.
{16:41} 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.
{16:42} 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.
{16:43} And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle
of the congregation.
{16:44} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{16:45} Get you up from among this congregation, that I
may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their
faces.
{16:46} 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. {16:47} 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.
{16:48} And he stood between the dead and the living; and
the plague was stayed. {16:49} Now they that died in the
plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside
them that died about the matter of Korah. {16:50} And
Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

17 {17:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {17:2}
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. {17:3}
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. {17:4} And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle
of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet
with you. {17:5} 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.
{17:6} 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. {17:7}
And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
tabernacle of witness. {17:8} 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. {17:9} 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.
{17:10} 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. {17:11} And Moses
did [so:] as the LORD commanded him, so did he. {17:12}
And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. {17:13}
Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the
LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

18 {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. {18:2} 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. {18:3} 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. {18:4} 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.
{18:5} 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. {18:6} 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. {18:7}
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.
{18:8} 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. {18:9} 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. {18:10} In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it;
every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. {18:11}
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. {18:12} 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. {18:13} [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. {18:14}
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. {18:15} 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. {18:16} 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. {18:17} 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. {18:18} And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the
wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. {18:19} 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.
{18:20} 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. {18:21} 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. {18:22}
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
{18:23} 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. {18:24} 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.
{18:25} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{18:26} 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. {18:27} 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. {18:28} 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. {18:29} 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. {18:30} 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.
{18:31} 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. {18:32} 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.

19 {19:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying, {19:2} 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: {19:3}
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: {19:4} 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:
{19:5} And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin,
and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
{19:6} And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop,
and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the
heifer. {19:7} 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.
{19:8} And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in
water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean
until the even. {19:9} 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. {19:10} 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.
{19:11} He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall
be unclean seven days. {19:12} 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. {19:13} 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. {19:14} 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. {19:15}
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon
it, [is] unclean. {19:16} 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.
{19:17} 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: {19:18} 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: {19:19} 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. {19:20} 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. {19:21} 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. {19:22} And
whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean;
and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.

20 {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. {20:2} And there was no water for the
congregation: and they gathered themselves together against
Moses and against Aaron. {20:3} And the people chode
with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had
died when our brethren died before the LORD! {20:4} And
why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into
this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
{20:5} 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. {20:6} 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.
{20:7} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {20:8}
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. {20:9} And Moses
took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
{20:10} 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? {20:11}
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.]
{20:12} 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.
{20:13} This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children
of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in
them.
{20:14} 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: {20:15} How
our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
fathers: {20:16} 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: {20:17} Let us pass, I pray thee,
through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or
through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water
of the wells: we will go by the king’s [high] way, we will
not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have
passed thy borders. {20:18} And Edom said unto him, Thou
shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the
sword. {20:19} 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. {20:20} And he
said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
{20:21} Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through
his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
{20:22} And the children of Israel, [even] the whole
congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto
mount Hor. {20:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses and
Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom,
saying, {20:24} 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. {20:25} Take Aaron and Eleazar his
son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: {20:26} 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. {20:27} And Moses did as the LORD commanded:
and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the
congregation. {20:28} 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. {20:29} And when all the
congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.

21 {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. {21:2} 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. {21:3} 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.
{21:4} 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.
{21:5} 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. {21:6}
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and
they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
{21:7} 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. {21:8}
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. {21:9}
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.
{21:10} And the children of Israel set forward, and
pitched in Oboth. {21:11} And they journeyed from Oboth,
and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which [is]
before Moab, toward the sunrising.
{21:12} From thence they removed, and pitched in the
valley of Zared. {21:13} 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. {21:14} 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, {21:15} And at the stream of the brooks
that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the
border of Moab. {21:16} 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.
{21:17} Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well;
sing ye unto it: {21:18} 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: {21:19} And from Mattanah to
Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: {21:20} And from
Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to
the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
{21:21} And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of
the Amorites, saying, {21:22} 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.
{21:23} 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. {21:24} 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. {21:25}
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof. {21:26} 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. {21:27} Wherefore they that speak in proverbs
say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and
prepared: {21:28} 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. {21:29} 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. {21:30} We have shot at
them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto
Medeba.
{21:31} Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
{21:32} And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took
the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were]
there.
{21:33} 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. {21:34} 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. {21:35} So they smote
him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none
left him alive: and they possessed his land.

22 {22:1} And the children of Israel set forward, and
pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jer-
icho. {22:2} And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel
had done to the Amorites. {22:3} And Moab was sore afraid
of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was
distressed because of the children of Israel. {22:4} 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. {22:5} 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: {22:6} 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. {22:7} 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. {22:8} 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. {22:9} And God came unto
Balaam, and said, What men [are] these with thee? {22:10}
And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king
of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying, ]{22:11} 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.
{22:12} And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with
them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.
{22:13} 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. {22:14} And the
princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and
said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
{22:15} And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and
more honourable than they. {22:16} 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: {22:17} 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. {22:18} 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. {22:19} Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also
here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say
unto me more. {22:20} 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. {22:21} And Balaam rose up
in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab.
{22:22} 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. {22:23} 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. {22:24} 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. {22:25} 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.
{22:26} 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. {22:27} 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. {22:28} 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? {22:29} 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. {22:30} 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. {22:31} 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. {22:32} 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:
{22:33} 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. {22:34} 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. {22:35} 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.
{22:36} 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. {22:37}
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? {22:38} 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. {22:39} And
Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
{22:40} And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and
sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him.
{22:41} 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.

23 {23:1} And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here se-
ven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven
rams. {23:2} And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak
and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
{23:3} 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. {23:4} 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.
{23:5} And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and
said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. {23:6}
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. {23:7} 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.
{23:8} How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or
how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?
{23:9} 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. {23:10} 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! {23:11} 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. {23:12}
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak
that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? {23:13} 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.
{23:14} 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. {23:15} And he said
unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet
[the LORD] yonder. {23:16} And the LORD met Balaam,
and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak,
and say thus. {23:17} 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? {23:18} And he took up his parable, and said, Rise
up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
{23:19} 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? {23:20} Behold, I have received [commandment] to
bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. {23:21}
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. {23:22} God brought
them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn. {23:23} 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! {23:24} 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.
{23:25} And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them
at all, nor bless them at all. {23:26} But Balaam answered
and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the
LORD speaketh, that I must do?
{23:27} 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.
{23:28} And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor,
that looketh toward Jeshimon. {23:29} And Balaam said
unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here
seven bullocks and seven rams. {23:30} And Balak did as
Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every]
altar.

24 {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.
{24:2} 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. {24:3} And he took up his parable,
and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man
whose eyes are open hath said: {24:4} 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:
{24:5} How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy
tabernacles, O Israel! {24:6} 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. {24:7} 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.
{24:8} 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. {24:9} 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.
{24:10} 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.
{24:11} 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. {24:12} And Balaam said unto
Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou
sentest unto me, saying, {24:13} 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? {24:14} 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.
{24:15} And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the
son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open
hath said: {24:16} 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: {24:17} 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. {24:18} And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also
shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do
valiantly. {24:19} Out of Jacob shall come he that shall
have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the
city.
{24:20} 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. {24:21} 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. {24:22} Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until
Asshur shall carry thee away captive. {24:23} And he took
up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God
doeth this! {24:24} And ships [shall come] from the coast
of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber,
and he also shall perish for ever. {24:25} And Balaam rose
up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went
his way.

25 {25:1} And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began
to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. {25:2}
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:
and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
{25:3} And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the
anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. {25:4} 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. {25:5} And Moses said unto the judges of Israel,
Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
{25:6} 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. {25:7} 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; {25:8} 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. {25:9} And those
that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
{25:10} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{25:11} 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. {25:12}
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of
peace: {25:13} 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. {25:14} 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. {25:15} 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.
{25:16} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{25:17} Vex the Midianites, and smite them: {25:18} 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.

26 {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, {26:2} Take the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old
and upward, throughout their fathers’ house, all that are able
to go to war in Israel. {26:3} And Moses and Eleazar the
priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan
[near] Jericho, saying, {26:4} [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.
{26:5} 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: {26:6} Of
Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family
of the Carmites. {26:7} These [are] the families of the
Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were
forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
{26:8} And the sons of Pallu; Eliab. {26:9} 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: {26:10} 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. {26:11} Notwithstanding
the children of Korah died not.
{26:12} The sons of Simeon after their families: of
Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family
of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:
{26:13} Of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites: of Shaul, the
family of the Shaulites. {26:14} These [are] the families of
the Simeonites, twenty and two thousand and two hundred.
{26:15} The children of Gad after their families: of
Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family
of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites:
{26:16} Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the
family of the Erites: {26:17} Of Arod, the family of the
Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites. {26:18} These
[are] the families of the children of Gad according to those
that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five
hundred.
{26:19} The sons of Judah [were] Er and Onan: and Er
and Onan died in the land of Canaan. {26:20} And the sons
of Judah after their families were; of Shelah, the family of
the Shelanites: of Pharez, the family of the Pharzites: of
Zerah, the family of the Zarhites. {26:21} And the sons of
Pharez were; of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of
Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. {26:22} These [are] the
families of Judah according to those that were numbered of
them, threescore and sixteen thousand and five hundred.
{26:23} [Of] the sons of Issachar after their families: [of]
Tola, the family of the Tolaites: of Pua, the family of the
Punites: {26:24} Of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites: of
Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. {26:25} These [are]
the families of Issachar according to those that were
numbered of them, threescore and four thousand and three
hundred.
{26:26} [Of] the sons of Zebulun after their families: of
Sered, the family of the Sardites: of Elon, the family of the

{26:41} These [are] the sons of Benjamin after their

{26:52} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{26:53} Unto these the land shall be divided for an
inheritance according to the number of names. {26:54} 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. {26:55} Notwithstanding the land shall be divided
by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers
they shall inherit. {26:56} According to the lot shall the
possession thereof be divided between many and few.
{26:57} And these [are] they that were numbered of the
Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the

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. {26:60} And
unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar. {26:61} And Nadab and Abihu died, when they
offered strange fire before the LORD. {26:62} 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.
{26:63} 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. {26:64} 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. {26:65} 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.

27 {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. {27:2} 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, {27:3} 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. {27:4} 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. {27:5} And Moses brought their cause before the
LORD.
{27:6} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {27:7}
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. {27:8} 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. {27:9} And if he have no daughter, then ye shall
give his inheritance unto his brethren. {27:10} And if he
have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father’s brethren. {27:11} 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.
{27:12} 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. {27:13} And when thou hast
seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as
Aaron thy brother was gathered. {27:14} 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.
{27:15} And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
{27:16} Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
set a man over the congregation, {27:17} 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.
{27:18} 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; {27:19} And set him before
Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give
him a charge in their sight. {27:20} And thou shalt put
some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of
the children of Israel may be obedient. {27:21} 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. {27:22} And Moses did as the LORD
commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before
Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: {27:23}
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as
the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

28 {28:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {28:2}
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. {28:3} 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. {28:4} The one
lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb
shalt thou offer at even; {28:5} And a tenth [part] of an
ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth
[part] of an hin of beaten oil. {28:6} [It is] a continual burnt
offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. {28:7}
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. {28:8} 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.
{28:9} 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:
{28:10} [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside
the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
{28:11} 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;
{28:12} 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;
{28:13} 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.
{28:14} 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. {28:15} 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. {28:16} And in the
fourteenth day of the first month [is] the passover of the
LORD. {28:17} And in the fifteenth day of this month [is]
the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
{28:18} In the first day [shall be] an holy convocation; ye
shall do no manner of servile work [therein:] {28:19} 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: {28:20} 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; {28:21} A several
tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs: {28:22} And one goat [for] a sin offering, to
make an atonement for you. {28:23} Ye shall offer these
beside the burnt offering in the morning, which [is] for a
continual burnt offering. {28:24} 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. {28:25} And on the seventh day ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
{28:26} 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: {28:27} But ye shall offer the burnt offering
for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one

offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one
bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, {28:29} A several
tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
{28:30} [And] one kid of the goats, to make an atonement
for you. {28:31} Ye shall offer [them] beside the continual
burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto
you without blemish) and their drink offerings.

29 {29:1} And in the seventh month, on the first [day] of
the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no

{29:2} And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet
savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, [and]

tenth deals for a bullock, [and] two tenth deals for a ram,
{29:4} And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the
seven lambs: {29:5} And one kid of the goats [for] a sin
offering, to make an atonement for you: {29:6} 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.
{29:7} 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:] {29:8} 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:
{29:9} And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled
with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, [and] two tenth deals

throughout the seven lambs: {29:11} 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.
{29:12} 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:
{29:13} And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen

{29:17} And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve

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. {29:40} And Moses told the children
of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

30 {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. {30:2} 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. {30:3} 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; {30:4} 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. {30:5} 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. {30:6} And if she had at all an husband,
when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith
she bound her soul; {30:7} 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. {30:8} 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. {30:9} But every vow of a widow,
and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their
souls, shall stand against her. {30:10} And if she vowed in
her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an
oath; {30:11} 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. {30:12} 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. {30:13} Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict
the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may
make it void. {30:14} 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.] {30:15} But if he shall any ways make them
void after that he hath heard [them;] then he shall bear her
iniquity. {30:16} 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.

31 {31:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:2}
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward
shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. {31:3} 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. {31:4} Of every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
{31:5} So there were delivered out of the thousands of
Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed
for war. {31:6} 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. {31:7} And they warred
against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males. {31:8} 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. {31:9} 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. {31:10} And they burnt all their cities wherein they
dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. {31:11} And
they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of
beasts. {31:12} 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.
{31:13} And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the
princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them
without the camp. {31:14} And Moses was wroth with the
officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and
captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
{31:15} And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the
women alive? {31:16} 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. {31:17} Now
therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
{31:18} But all the women children, that have not known a
man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. {31:19}
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. {31:20} And purify all [your]
raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’
[hair,] and all things made of wood.
{31:21} 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; {31:22} Only the
gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
{31:23} 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.
{31:24} And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day,
and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the
camp.
{31:25} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{31:26} 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: {31:27} 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:
{31:28} 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: {31:29} Take [it] of their half, and give
[it] unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an heave offering of the
LORD. {31:30} 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. {31:31} And Moses and Eleazar
the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. {31:32}
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, {31:33} And threescore
and twelve thousand beeves, {31:34} And threescore and
one thousand asses, {31:35} And thirty and two thousand
persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying
with him. {31:36} 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: {31:37} And the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was
six hundred and threescore and fifteen. {31:38} And the
beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the
LORD’S tribute [was] threescore and twelve. {31:39} And
the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which
the LORD’S tribute [was] threescore and one. {31:40} And
the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’S
tribute [was] thirty and two persons. {31:41} And Moses
gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD’S heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
{31:42} And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses
divided from the men that warred, {31:43} (Now the half
[that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five
hundred sheep, {31:44} And thirty and six thousand beeves,
{31:45} And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
{31:46} And sixteen thousand persons;) {31:47} 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.
{31:48} And the officers which [were] over thousands of
the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses: {31:49} 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. {31:50} 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. {31:51}
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,
[even] all wrought jewels. {31:52} 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. {31:53} ([For]
the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
{31:54} 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.

32 {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; {32:2} 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, {32:3} Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer,
and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and
Nebo, and Beon, {32:4} [Even] the country which the
LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land
for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: {32:5} 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.
{32:6} 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? {32:7} And wherefore discourage ye the
heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land
which the LORD hath given them? {32:8} Thus did your
fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the
land. {32:9} 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. {32:10} And the
LORD’S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying, {32:11} 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: {32:12} Save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the
son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
{32:13} 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. {32:14} 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.
{32:15} For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet
again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all
this people.
{32:16} And they came near unto him, and said, We will
build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little
ones: {32:17} 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. {32:18} We will not
return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance. {32:19} 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.
{32:20} And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this
thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war, {32:21}
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,
until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
{32:22} 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. {32:23} But if ye will not do so, behold,
ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will
find you out. {32:24} Build you cities for your little ones,
and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded
out of your mouth. {32:25} And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants
will do as my lord commandeth. {32:26} Our little ones,
our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the
cities of Gilead: {32:27} But thy servants will pass over,
every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my
lord saith. {32:28} 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: {32:29} 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: {32:30} But if they will not pass
over with you armed, they shall have possessions among
you in the land of Canaan. {32:31} And the children of Gad
and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD
hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. {32:32} 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. {32:33} 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.
{32:34} And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth,
and Aroer, {32:35} And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and
Jogbehah, {32:36} And Beth-nimrah, and Bethharan, fenced
cities: and folds for sheep. {32:37} And the children of
Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
{32:38} And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being
changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the
cities which they builded. {32:39} And the children of
Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took
it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it.
{32:40} And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of
Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. {32:41} And Jair the son
of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and
called them Havoth-jair. {32:42} And Nobah went and took
Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after
his own name.

33 {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. {33:2} 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. {33:3} 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. {33:4} For the Egyptians buried all [their]
firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon
their gods also the LORD executed judgments. {33:5} And
the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth. {33:6} And they departed from Succoth, and
pitched in Etham, which [is] in the edge of the wilderness.
{33:7} And they removed from Etham, and turned again
unto Pi-hahiroth, which [is] before Baal- zephon: and they
pitched before Migdol. {33:8} 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. {33:9} 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. {33:10} And they
removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. {33:11}
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sin. {33:12} And they took their journey out
of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
{33:13} And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped
in Alush. {33:14} And they removed from Alush, and
encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people
to drink. {33:15} And they departed from Rephidim, and
pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. {33:16} And they
removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-
hattaavah. {33:17} And they departed from Kibrothhat-
taavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. {33:18} And they
departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. {33:19}
And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-
parez. {33:20} And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and
pitched in Libnah. {33:21} And they removed from Libnah,
and pitched at Rissah. {33:22} And they journeyed from
Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. {33:23} And they went
from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. {33:24}
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in
Haradah. {33:25} And they removed from Haradah, and
pitched in Makheloth. {33:26} And they removed from
Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. {33:27} And they
departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. {33:28} And
they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah. {33:29}
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
{33:30} And they departed from Hashmonah, and
encamped at Moseroth. {33:31} And they departed from
Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan. {33:32} And they
removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
{33:33} And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in
Jotbathah. {33:34} And they removed from Jotbathah, and
encamped at Ebronah. {33:35} And they departed from
Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber. {33:36} And they
removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which [is] Kadesh. {33:37} And they removed from
Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land
of Edom. {33:38} 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.
{33:39} And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three
years old when he died in mount Hor. {33:40} And king
Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of
Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
{33:41} And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in
Zalmonah. {33:42} And they departed from Zalmonah, and
pitched in Punon. {33:43} And they departed from Punon,
and pitched in Oboth. {33:44} And they departed from
Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab.
{33:45} And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
{33:46} And they removed from Dibon-gad, and
encamped in Almon-diblathaim. {33:47} And they removed
from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of
Abarim, before Nebo. {33:48} And they departed from the
mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by
Jordan [near] Jericho. {33:49} And they pitched by Jordan,
from Beth- jesimoth [even] unto Abel-shittim in the plains
of Moab.
{33:50} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of
Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying, {33:51} Speak unto
the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; {33:52} 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:
{33:53} And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants] of the
land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to
possess it. {33:54} 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. {33:55} 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. {33:56} Moreover it
shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto you, as I thought to
do unto them.

34 {34:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {34:2}
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:) {34:3} 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: {34:4} 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: {34:5} 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. {34:6} And [as for] the western border,
ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be
your west border. {34:7} And this shall be your north
border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount
Hor: {34:8} 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:
{34:9} 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. {34:10} And ye shall point out your east
border from Hazar-enan to Shepham: {34:11} 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: {34:12} 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. {34:13} 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: {34:14}
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: {34:15} The two tribes and the half tribe
have received their inheritance on this side Jordan [near]
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. {34:16} And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {34:17} These [are] the
names of the men which shall divide the land unto you:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. {34:18} And
ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance. {34:19} And the names of the men [are] these:
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. {34:20}
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son
of Ammihud. {34:21} Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the
son of Chislon. {34:22} And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. {34:23} The prince
of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of
Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. {34:24} And the
prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan. {34:25} And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. {34:26}
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar,
Paltiel the son of Azzan. {34:27} And the prince of the tribe
of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
{34:28} And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. {34:29} These [are
they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the
inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

35 {35:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains
of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying, {35:2} 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. {35:3} 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. {35:4} 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. {35:5} 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. {35:6} 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. {35:7} [So] all the cities which ye shall
give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them
[shall ye give] with their suburbs. {35:8} 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.
{35:9} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {35:10}
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan; {35:11}
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. {35:12} 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.
{35:13} And of these cities which ye shall give six cities
shall ye have for refuge. {35:14} 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. {35:15} 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.
{35:16} 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. {35:17} 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. {35:18} 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. {35:19} The revenger of blood himself shall
slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
{35:20} But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by
laying of wait, that he die; {35:21} 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.
{35:22} But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or
have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
{35:23} 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: {35:24} Then
the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments: {35:25}
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. {35:26} But if the slayer shall at
any time come without the border of the city of his refuge,
whither he was fled; {35:27} 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: {35:28} 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. {35:29} So these [things] shall be for
a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations
in all your dwellings. {35:30} 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. {35:31} 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. {35:32} 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. {35:33} 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. {35:34} Defile not therefore the
land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the
LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

{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: {36:2} 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. {36:3} 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. {36:4} 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. {36:5} 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. {36:6} 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. {36:7} 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.
{36:8} 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.
{36:9} 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. {36:10}
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters
of Zelophehad: {36:11} For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah,
and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were
married unto their father’s brothers’ sons: {36:12} [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. {36:13} 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.
