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

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.
[Numbers 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

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

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

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

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

number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even]
those that were numbered of them [were] seven thousand and five

thereof.
3:27 And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the

of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

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

3:38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the

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.
[Numbers 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 veil, 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 showbread 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 basins, 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

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

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

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.
[Numbers 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
frankincense 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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.

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.
[Numbers 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 showed
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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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 mixed 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 garlic:
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.
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 conceived all this people? have I begotten them,
that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which
thou swarest unto their fathers?
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 Kibrothhattaavah:
because there they buried the people that lusted.
11:35 [And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
[Numbers 12]
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an
Ethiopian woman.
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.
[Numbers 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 showed 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.
[Numbers 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 showed 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
day time 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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 show 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 brazen 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.
[Numbers 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?
[Numbers 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
veil; 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 Everything 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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 chided 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.
[Numbers 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
Ijeabarim, 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.
[Numbers 22]
22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in
the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.
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.
[Numbers 23]
23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven 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 showeth 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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 Baalpeor: 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 Baalpeor.
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.
[Numbers 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.

according to those that were numbered of them, forty thousand
and five hundred.

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

26:27 These [are] the families of the Zebulunites according

and Ephraim.
26:29 Of the sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the

26:32 And [of] Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites: and
[of] Hepher, the family of the Hepherites.
26:33 And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but
daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad [were]
Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
26:34 These [are] the families of Manasseh, and those that
were numbered of them, fifty and two thousand and seven
hundred.

their families.
26:38 The sons of Benjamin after their families: of Bela, the
family of the Belaites: of Ashbel, the family of the
Ashbelites: of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites:
26:39 Of Shupham, the family of the Shuphamites: of Hupham,
the family of the Huphamites.
26:40 And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: [of Ard], the
family of the Ardites: [and] of Naaman, the family of the
Naamites.
26:41 These [are] the sons of Benjamin after their families:
and they that were numbered of them [were] forty and five
thousand and six hundred.
26:42 These [are] the sons of Dan after their families: of
Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These [are] the families
of Dan after their families.
26:43 All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those
that were numbered of them, [were] threescore and four thousand
and four hundred.
26:44 [Of] the children of Asher after their families: of

Jesuites: of Beriah, the family of the Beriites.
26:45 Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the
Heberites: of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites.
26:46 And the name of the daughter of Asher [was] Sarah.
26:47 These [are] the families of the sons of Asher according
to those that were numbered of them; [who were] fifty and three
thousand and four hundred.
26:48 [Of] the sons of Naphtali after their families: of
Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites: of Guni, the family of
the Gunites:
26:49 Of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites: of Shillem, the

26:50 These [are] the families of Naphtali according to their

five thousand and four hundred.
26:51 These [were] the numbered of the children of Israel,
six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.
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
Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites: of
Merari, the family of the Merarites.
26:58 These [are] the families of the Levites: the family of
the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the
Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the
Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
26:59 And the name of Amram's wife [was] Jochebed, the
daughter of Levi, whom [her mother] bare to Levi in Egypt: and
she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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 ram, seven lambs
of the first year;
28:28 And their meat 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.
[Numbers 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
servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
29:2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour
unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of
the first year without blemish:
29:3 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with
oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, [and] two tenth deals for
a ram,
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 to
one ram,
29:10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, 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 young

they shall be without blemish:

29:16 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside
the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink
offering.
29:17 And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve young
bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without
spot:
29:18 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for
the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be]
according to their number, after the manner:
29:19 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside

and their drink offerings.
29:20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams,

29:26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, [and]

29:39 These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set
feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your
burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your
drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 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
Kadeshbarnea 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 Bethnimrah, 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 Baalmeon, (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 Havothjair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages
thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
[Numbers 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
Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched
before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, 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 Kibrothhattaavah.
33:17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, 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
Rimmonparez.
33:20 And they departed from Rimmonparez, 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
Benejaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at
Horhagidgad.
33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, 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
Eziongaber.
33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, 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
Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
33:45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in
Almondiblathaim.
33:47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, 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 Bethjesimoth [even]
unto Abelshittim 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.
[Numbers 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 Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to
Hazaraddar, 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 Hazarenan: this shall be your north
border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan
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.
[Numbers 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.
[Numbers 36]
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.
