Book 04 Numbers

04:001:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

04:001:002 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of

Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by

their armies.

04:001:004 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one

head of the house of his fathers.

04:001:017 And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by

their names:

04:001:018 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

04:001:019 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

04:001:020 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

04:001:044 These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron

numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each

one was for the house of his fathers.

04:001:045 So were all those that were numbered of the children of

Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old

and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

04:001:046 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and

three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

04:001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not

numbered among them.

04:001:048 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,

04:001:049 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

04:001:050 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.

04:001:051 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.

04:001:052 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.

04:001:053 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.

04:001:054 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

04:002:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:002:002 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.

04:002:003 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

04:002:004 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.

04:002:005 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar.

04:002:006 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty

and four thousand and four hundred.

04:002:007 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be

captain of the children of Zebulun.

04:002:008 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty

and seven thousand and four hundred.

04:002:009 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred

thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four

hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.

04:002:010 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben

according to their armies: and the captain of the children of

Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.

04:002:011 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.

04:002:012 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

04:002:013 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty

and nine thousand and three hundred.

04:002:014 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad

shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.

04:002:015 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty

and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.

04:002:016 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.

04:002:017 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.

04:002:018 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

04:002:019 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.

04:002:020 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

04:002:021 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were

thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

04:002:022 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of

Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.

04:002:023 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were

thirty and five thousand and four hundred.

04:002:024 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred

thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their

armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.

04:002:025 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by

their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be

Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

04:002:026 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.

04:002:027 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.

04:002:028 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty

and one thousand and five hundred.

04:002:029 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of

Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.

04:002:030 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty

and three thousand and four hundred.

04:002:031 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

04:002:032 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.

04:002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:002:034 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:001 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day

that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

04:003:002 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the

firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

04:003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

04:003:004 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.

04:003:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:006 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

04:003:007 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.

04:003:008 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.

04:003:009 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

04:003:010 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.

04:003:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:012 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;

04:003:013 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.

04:003:014 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

04:003:015 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

04:003:016 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as

he was commanded.

04:003:017 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and

Kohath, and Merari.

04:003:018 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their

families; Libni, and Shimei.

04:003:019 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,

Hebron, and Uzziel.

04:003:020 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

04:003:022 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

04:003:023 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the

tabernacle westward.

04:003:024 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites

shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

04:003:025 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:003:026 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

04:003:027 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

04:003:028 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

04:003:029 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of

the tabernacle southward.

04:003:030 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of

the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

04:003:031 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

04:003:032 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

04:003:033 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

04:003:034 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number

of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six

thousand and two hundred.

04:003:035 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of

Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the

side of the tabernacle northward.

04:003:036 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,

04:003:037 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

04:003:038 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

04:003:039 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.

04:003:040 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.

04:003:041 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.

04:003:042 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

04:003:043 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.

04:003:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:045 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.

04:003:046 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;

04:003:047 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:)

04:003:048 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of

them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

04:003:049 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and

above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

04:003:050 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:

04:003:051 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.

04:004:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:004:002 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

04:004:003 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.

04:004:004 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:

04:004:005 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his

sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover

the ark of testimony with it:

04:004:006 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.

04:004:007 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

04:004:008 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.

04:004:009 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:

04:004:010 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.

04:004:011 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:

04:004:012 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:

04:004:013 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

04:004:014 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

04:004:015 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.

04:004:016 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.

04:004:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,

04:004:018 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:

04:004:019 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:

04:004:020 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

04:004:021 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:004:022 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;

04:004:023 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.

04:004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:

04:004:025 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,

04:004:026 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.

04:004:027 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.

04:004:028 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.

04:004:029 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;

04:004:030 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.

04:004:031 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,

04:004:032 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,

and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments,

and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the

instruments of the charge of their burden.

04:004:033 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.

04:004:034 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,

04:004:035 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,

every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the

tabernacle of the congregation:

04:004:036 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

04:004:037 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

04:004:038 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,

04:004:039 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,

every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the

tabernacle of the congregation,

04:004:040 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their

families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and

six hundred and thirty.

04:004:041 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD.

04:004:042 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of

Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their

fathers,

04:004:043 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,

every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the

tabernacle of the congregation,

04:004:044 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.

04:004:045 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.

04:004:046 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and

Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families,

and after the house of their fathers,

04:004:047 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,

every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the

service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:048 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore,

04:004:049 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.

04:005:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:005:002 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:

04:005:003 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.

04:005:004 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.

04:005:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:005:006 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;

04:005:007 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.

04:005:008 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.

04:005:009 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of

Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

04:005:010 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any

man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

04:005:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:005:012 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

04:005:013 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;

04:005:014 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:

04:005:015 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.

04:005:016 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:

04:005:017 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:

04:005:018 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:

04:005:019 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:

04:005:020 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:

04:005:021 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;

04:005:022 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.

04:005:023 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

04:005:024 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.

04:005:025 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:

04:005:026 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.

04:005:027 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.

04:005:028 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall

be free, and shall conceive seed.

04:005:029 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to

another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

04:005:030 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.

04:005:031 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

04:006:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:006:002 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:

04:006:003 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.

04:006:004 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

04:006:005 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.

04:006:006 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.

04:006:007 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.

04:006:008 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.

04:006:009 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.

04:006:010 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:

04:006:011 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.

04:006:012 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.

04:006:013 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:

04:006:014 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,

04:006:015 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.

04:006:016 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

04:006:017 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.

04:006:018 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.

04:006:019 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:

04:006:020 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.

04:006:021 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.

04:006:022 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:006:023 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

04:006:024 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

04:006:025 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto

thee:

04:006:026 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee

peace.

04:006:027 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I

will bless them.

04:007:001 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;

04:007:002 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:

04:007:003 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.

04:007:004 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:007:005 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.

04:007:006 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the

Levites.

04:007:007 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,

according to their service:

04:007:008 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.

04:007:009 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.

04:007:010 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.

04:007:011 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering,

each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

04:007:012 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the

son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

04:007:089 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.

04:008:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:008:002 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

04:008:003 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:008:004 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

04:008:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:008:006 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

04:008:007 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.

04:008:008 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.

04:008:009 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:

04:008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

04:008:011 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.

04:008:012 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.

04:008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his

sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

04:008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children

of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

04:008:015 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.

04:008:016 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.

04:008:017 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.

04:008:018 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

04:008:019 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.

04:008:020 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.

04:008:021 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.

04:008:022 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.

04:008:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:008:024 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:

04:008:025 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

04:008:026 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.

04:009:001 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,

04:009:002 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

04:009:003 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.

04:009:004 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

04:009:005 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.

04:009:006 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:

04:009:007 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?

04:009:008 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

04:009:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:009:010 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.

04:009:011 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

04:009:012 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.

04:009:013 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.

04:009:014 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.

04:009:015 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.

04:009:016 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

04:009:017 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.

04:009:018 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.

04:009:019 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.

04:009:020 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.

04:009:021 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.

04:009:022 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.

04:009:023 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.

04:010:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:010:002 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.

04:010:003 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall

assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of

the congregation.

04:010:004 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which

are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves

unto thee.

04:010:005 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

04:010:006 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.

04:010:007 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

04:010:008 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.

04:010:009 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.

04:010:010 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.

04:010:011 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.

04:010:012 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the

wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of

Paran.

04:010:013 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

04:010:014 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.

04:010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was

Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

04:010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was

Eliab the son of Helon.

04:010:017 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and

the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

04:010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

04:010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was

Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

04:010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was

Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

04:010:021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the

other did set up the tabernacle against they came.

04:010:022 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.

04:010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was

Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

04:010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was

Abidan the son of Gideoni.

04:010:025 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.

04:010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was

Pagiel the son of Ocran.

04:010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was

Ahira the son of Enan.

04:010:028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according

to their armies, when they set forward.

04:010:029 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.

04:010:030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

04:010:031 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.

04:010:032 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.

04:010:033 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.

04:010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.

04:010:035 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.

04:010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

04:011:001 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.

04:011:002 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto

the LORD, the fire was quenched.

04:011:003 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire

of the LORD burnt among them.

04:011:004 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and

the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall

give us flesh to eat?

04:011:005 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the

cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and

the garlick:

04:011:006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,

beside this manna, before our eyes.

04:011:007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as

the colour of bdellium.

04:011:008 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.

04:011:009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

04:011:010 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.

04:011:011 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?

04:011:012 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?

04:011:013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for

they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

04:011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too

heavy for me.

04:011:015 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.

04:011:016 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.

04:011:017 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.

04:011:018 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.

04:011:019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

04:011:020 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?

04:011:021 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.

04:011:022 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?

04:011:023 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.

04:011:024 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.

04:011:025 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.

04:011:026 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.

04:011:027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and

Medad do prophesy in the camp.

04:011:028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his

young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

04:011:029 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!

04:011:030 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

04:011:031 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.

04:011:032 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.

04:011:033 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.

04:011:034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because

there they buried the people that lusted.

04:011:035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;

and abode at Hazeroth.

04:012:001 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the

Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an

Ethiopian woman.

04:012:002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath

he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

04:012:003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were

upon the face of the earth.)

04:012:004 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.

04:012:005 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.

04:012:006 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.

04:012:007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

04:012:008 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?

04:012:009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

04:012:010 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.

04:012:011 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.

04:012:012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed

when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

04:012:013 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I

beseech thee.

04:012:014 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.

04:012:015 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the

people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

04:012:016 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in

the wilderness of Paran.

04:013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:013:002 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.

04:013:003 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.

04:013:004 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

04:013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

04:013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

04:013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

04:013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

04:013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

04:013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

04:013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

04:013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

04:013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

04:013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

04:013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

04:013:016 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

04:013:017 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:

04:013:018 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

04:013:019 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;

04:013:020 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.

04:013:021 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

04:013:022 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.)

04:013:023 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.

04:013:024 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

04:013:025 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

04:013:026 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

04:013:027 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.

04:013:028 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.

04:013:029 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.

04:013:030 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.

04:013:031 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.

04:013:032 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.

04:013:033 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.

04:014:001 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

04:014:002 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!

04:014:003 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?

04:014:004 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let

us return into Egypt.

04:014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the

assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

04:014:006 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,

which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

04:014:007 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.

04:014:008 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.

04:014:009 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.

04:014:010 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.

04:014:011 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people

provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for

all the signs which I have shewed among them?

04:014:012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

04:014:013 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

04:014:014 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.

04:014:015 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

04:014:016 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.

04:014:017 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

04:014:018 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.

04:014:019 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.

04:014:020 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

04:014:021 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

04:014:022 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;

04:014:023 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

04:014:024 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.

04:014:025 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)

Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way

of the Red sea.

04:014:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:014:027 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.

04:014:028 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

04:014:029 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.

04:014:030 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.

04:014:031 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.

04:014:032 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

04:014:033 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

04:014:034 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.

04:014:035 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.

04:014:036 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,

04:014:037 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

04:014:038 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.

04:014:039 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

04:014:040 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.

04:014:041 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment

of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

04:014:042 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not

smitten before your enemies.

04:014:043 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.

04:014:044 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.

04:014:045 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt

in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto

Hormah.

04:015:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:015:002 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,

04:015:003 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:

04:015:004 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.

04:015:005 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.

04:015:006 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.

04:015:007 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an

hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

04:015:008 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:

04:015:009 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three

tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

04:015:010 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.

04:015:011 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for

a lamb, or a kid.

04:015:012 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do

to every one according to their number.

04:015:013 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.

04:015:014 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.

04:015:015 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.

04:015:016 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

04:015:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:015:018 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye

come into the land whither I bring you,

04:015:019 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land,

ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

04:015:020 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.

04:015:021 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an

heave offering in your generations.

04:015:022 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,

which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

04:015:023 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;

04:015:024 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.

04:015:025 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:

04:015:026 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.

04:015:027 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

04:015:028 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.

04:015:029 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.

04:015:030 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.

04:015:031 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.

04:015:032 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they

found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

04:015:033 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto

Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

04:015:034 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what

should be done to him.

04:015:035 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.

04:015:036 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and

stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded

Moses.

04:015:037 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:015:038 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:

04:015:039 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:

04:015:040 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy

unto your God.

04:015:041 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.

04:016:001 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:

04:016:002 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:

04:016:003 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?

04:016:004 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

04:016:005 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

04:016:006 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

04:016:007 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.

04:016:008 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

04:016:009 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?

04:016:010 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

04:016:011 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

04:016:012 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

04:016:013 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?

04:016:014 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.

04:016:015 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.

04:016:016 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

04:016:017 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.

04:016:018 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.

04:016:019 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.

04:016:020 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

04:016:022 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?

04:016:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:016:024 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the

tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

04:016:025 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the

elders of Israel followed him.

04:016:026 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

04:016:027 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.

04:016:028 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.

04:016:029 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.

04:016:030 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.

04:016:031 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:

04:016:032 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.

04:016:033 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.

04:016:034 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of

them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

04:016:035 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two

hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

04:016:036 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:016:037 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.

04:016:038 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.

04:016:039 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

04:016:040 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.

04:016:041 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.

04:016:042 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.

04:016:043 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:016:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:016:045 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

04:016:046 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.

04:016:047 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.

04:016:048 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

04:016:049 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

04:016:050 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

04:017:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:017:002 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.

04:017:003 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.

04:017:004 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the

congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

04:017:005 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.

04:017:006 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.

04:017:007 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

04:017:008 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.

04:017:009 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.

04:017:010 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.

04:017:011 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

04:017:012 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold,

we die, we perish, we all perish.

04:017:013 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the

LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

04:018:001 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.

04:018:002 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.

04:018:003 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.

04:018:004 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.

04:018:005 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.

04:018:006 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.

04:018:007 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's

office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and

ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as

a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be

put to death.

04:018:008 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.

04:018:009 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the

fire: every oblation of their's, every meat offering of

their's, and every sin offering of their's, and every trespass

offering of their's which they shall render unto me, shall be

most holy for thee and for thy sons.

04:018:010 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

04:018:011 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.

04:018:012 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.

04:018:013 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.

04:018:014 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

04:018:015 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.

04:018:016 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.

04:018:017 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.

04:018:018 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

04:018:019 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.

04:018:020 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.

04:018:021 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.

04:018:022 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

04:018:023 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.

04:018:024 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.

04:018:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:018:026 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.

04:018:027 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.

04:018:028 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.

04:018:029 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.

04:018:030 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.

04:018:031 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.

04:018:032 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.

04:019:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:019:002 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:

04:019:003 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:

04:019:004 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:

04:019:005 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her

flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

04:019:006 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,

and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

04:019:007 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.

04:019:008 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

04:019:009 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.

04:019:010 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.

04:019:011 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

04:019:012 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.

04:019:013 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.

04:019:014 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.

04:019:015 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

04:019:016 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.

04:019:017 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:

04:019:018 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:

04:019:019 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.

04:019:020 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.

04:019:021 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.

04:019:022 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

04:020:001 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.

04:020:002 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered

themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

04:020:003 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God

that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

04:020:004 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into

this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

04:020:005 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.

04:020:006 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.

04:020:007 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:020:008 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.

04:020:009 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

04:020:010 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?

04:020:011 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.

04:020:012 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.

04:020:013 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

04:020:014 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:

04:020:015 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in

Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our

fathers:

04:020:016 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:

04:020:017 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.

04:020:018 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

04:020:019 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 anything else, go through on my feet.

04:020:020 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out

against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

04:020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border:

wherefore Israel turned away from him.

04:020:022 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,

journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

04:020:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the

coast of the land of Edom, saying,

04:020:024 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.

04:020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

04:020:026 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.

04:020:027 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

04:020:028 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.

04:020:029 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

04:021:001 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.

04:021:002 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.

04:021:003 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.

04:021:004 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.

04:021:005 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.

04:021:006 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

04:021:007 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.

04:021:008 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.

04:021:009 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.

04:021:010 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.

04:021:011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

04:021:012 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.

04:021:013 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.

04:021:014 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,

04:021:015 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the

dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

04:021:016 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.

04:021:017 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

04:021:018 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:

04:021:019 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

04:021:020 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab,

to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

04:021:021 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,

saying,

04:021:022 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.

04:021:023 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.

04:021:024 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.

04:021:025 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the

cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages

thereof.

04:021:026 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.

04:021:027 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

04:021:028 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.

04:021:029 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.

04:021:030 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and

we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto

Medeba.

04:021:031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

04:021:032 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

04:021:033 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.

04:021:034 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.

04:021:035 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until

there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

04:022:001 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the

plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

04:022:002 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to

the Amorites.

04:022:003 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

04:022:004 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.

04:022:005 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:

04:022:006 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.

04:022:007 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.

04:022:008 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.

04:022:009 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with

thee?

04:022:010 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of

Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

04:022:011 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.

04:022:012 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

04:022:013 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.

04:022:014 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and

said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

04:022:015 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable

than they.

04:022:016 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:

04:022:017 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.

04:022:018 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.

04:022:019 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

04:022:020 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.

04:022:021 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

04:022:022 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.

04:022:023 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.

04:022:024 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.

04:022:025 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.

04:022:026 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.

04:022:027 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.

04:022:028 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?

04:022:029 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.

04:022:030 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.

04:022:031 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.

04:022:032 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:

04:022:033 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.

04:022:034 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.

04:022:035 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.

04:022:036 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.

04:022:037 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?

04:022:038 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.

04:022:039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.

04:022:040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

04:022:041 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.

04:023:001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and

prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

04:023:002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam

offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

04:023:003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

04:023:004 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.

04:023:005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return

unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

04:023:006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt

sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

04:023:007 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.

04:023:008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

04:023:009 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.

04:023:010 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!

04:023:011 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.

04:023:012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

04:023:013 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.

04:023:014 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.

04:023:015 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,

while I meet the LORD yonder.

04:023:016 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and

said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

04:023:017 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?

04:023:018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

04:023:019 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?

04:023:020 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

04:023:021 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.

04:023:022 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

04:023:023 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!

04:023:024 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.

04:023:025 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor

bless them at all.

04:023:026 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,

saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

04:023:027 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.

04:023:028 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh

toward Jeshimon.

04:023:029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and

prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

04:023:030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a

ram on every altar.

04:024:001 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.

04:024:002 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.

04:024:003 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

04:024:004 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:

04:024:005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

04:024:006 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.

04:024:007 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.

04:024:008 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.

04:024:009 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.

04:024:010 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.

04:024:011 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.

04:024:012 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

04:024:013 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?

04:024:014 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.

04:024:015 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

04:024:016 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:

04:024:017 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.

04:024:018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a

possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

04:024:019 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall

destroy him that remaineth of the city.

04:024:020 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.

04:024:021 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.

04:024:022 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall

carry thee away captive.

04:024:023 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live

when God doeth this!

04:024:024 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

04:024:025 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and

Balak also went his way.

04:025:001 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit

whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

04:025:002 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:

and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

04:025:003 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the

LORD was kindled against Israel.

04:025:004 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.

04:025:005 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

04:025:006 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.

04:025:007 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;

04:025:008 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.

04:025:009 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

04:025:010 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:011 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.

04:025:012 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

04:025:013 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.

04:025:014 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.

04:025:015 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.

04:025:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:017 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

04:025:018 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.

04:026:001 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

04:026:002 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.

04:026:003 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

04:026:004 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.

04:026:052 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:026:053 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

04:026:054 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.

04:026:055 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to

the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

04:026:056 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided

between many and few.

04:026:057 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after

04:026:060 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and

Ithamar.

04:026:061 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire

before the LORD.

04:026:062 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.

04:026:063 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.

04:026:064 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.

04:026:065 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.

04:027:001 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.

04:027:002 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,

04:027:003 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.

04:027:004 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.

04:027:005 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

04:027:006 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:027:007 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.

04:027:008 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.

04:027:009 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance

unto his brethren.

04:027:010 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance

unto his father's brethren.

04:027:011 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.

04:027:012 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.

04:027:013 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

04:027:014 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.

04:027:015 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

04:027:016 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

04:027:017 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.

04:027:018 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;

04:027:019 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the

congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

04:027:020 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the

congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

04:027:021 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.

04:027:022 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

04:027:023 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

04:028:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:028:002 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.

04:028:003 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.

04:028:004 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other

lamb shalt thou offer at even;

04:028:005 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,

mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

04:028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount

Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the

LORD.

04:028:007 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.

04:028:008 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.

04:028:009 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:

04:028:010 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

04:028:011 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;

04:028:012 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;

04:028:013 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.

04:028:014 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.

04:028:015 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.

04:028:016 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover

of the LORD.

04:028:017 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven

days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

04:028:018 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no

manner of servile work therein:

04:028:019 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:

04:028:020 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;

04:028:021 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

04:028:022 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.

04:028:023 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

04:028:024 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.

04:028:025 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

04:028:026 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat

his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish)

and their drink offerings.

04:029:001 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye

04:029:006 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.

04:029:007 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:

04:029:008 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:

04:029:009 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil,

04:029:012 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an

04:029:040 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

04:030:001 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the

children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD

hath commanded.

04:030:002 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.

04:030:003 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;

04:030:004 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.

04:030:005 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.

04:030:006 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

04:030:007 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.

04:030:008 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.

04:030:009 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

04:030:010 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

04:030:011 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.

04:030:012 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.

04:030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

04:030:014 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.

04:030:015 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

04:030:016 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.

04:031:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

04:031:003 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.

04:031:004 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of

Israel, shall ye send to the war.

04:031:005 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a

thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

04:031:006 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.

04:031:007 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

04:031:008 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.

04:031:009 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.

04:031:010 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all

their goodly castles, with fire.

04:031:011 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and

of beasts.

04:031:012 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.

04:031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

04:031:014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

04:031:015 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

04:031:016 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.

04:031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill

every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

04:031:018 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying

with him, keep alive for yourselves.

04:031:019 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.

04:031:020 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

04:031:021 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;

04:031:022 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

04:031:023 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.

04:031:024 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

04:031:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:031:026 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:

04:031:027 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:

04:031:028 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:

04:031:029 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

04:031:030 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.

04:031:031 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:032 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,

04:031:033 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

04:031:034 And threescore and one thousand asses,

04:031:035 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

04:031:036 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:

04:031:037 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and

threescore and fifteen.

04:031:038 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the

LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

04:031:039 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which

the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

04:031:040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's

tribute was thirty and two persons.

04:031:041 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:042 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

04:031:043 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

04:031:044 And thirty and six thousand beeves,

04:031:045 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

04:031:046 And sixteen thousand persons;)

04:031:047 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.

04:031:048 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the

captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near

unto Moses:

04:031:049 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.

04:031:050 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.

04:031:051 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

04:031:052 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.

04:031:053 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

04:031:054 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.

04:032:001 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;

04:032:002 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,

04:032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and

Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

04:032:004 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation

of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

04:032:005 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.

04:032:006 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?

04:032:007 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

04:032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

04:032:009 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.

04:032:010 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

04:032:011 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:

04:032:012 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

04:032:013 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.

04:032:014 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.

04:032:015 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

04:032:016 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

04:032:017 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.

04:032:018 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

04:032:019 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.

04:032:020 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will

go armed before the LORD to war,

04:032:021 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,

until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

04:032:022 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.

04:032:023 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the

LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

04:032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your

sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

04:032:025 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto

Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

04:032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle,

shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

04:032:027 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war,

before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

04:032:028 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:

04:032:029 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:

04:032:030 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

04:032:031 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,

saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we

do.

04:032:032 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 our's.

04:032:033 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.

04:032:034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

04:032:035 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

04:032:036 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for

sheep.

04:032:037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and

Kirjathaim,

04:032:038 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

04:032:039 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead,

and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

04:032:040 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he

dwelt therein.

04:032:041 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns

thereof, and called them Havothjair.

04:032:042 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and

called it Nobah, after his own name.

04:033:001 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.

04:033:002 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.

04:033:003 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.

04:033:004 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

04:033:005 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched

in Succoth.

04:033:006 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is

in the edge of the wilderness.

04:033:007 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth,

which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

04:033:008 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.

04:033:009 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.

04:033:010 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

04:033:011 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the

wilderness of Sin.

04:033:012 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and

encamped in Dophkah.

04:033:013 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

04:033:014 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where

was no water for the people to drink.

04:033:015 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness

of Sinai.

04:033:016 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at

Kibrothhattaavah.

04:033:017 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at

Hazeroth.

04:033:018 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

04:033:019 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.

04:033:020 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.

04:033:021 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

04:033:022 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

04:033:023 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.

04:033:024 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.

04:033:025 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

04:033:026 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

04:033:027 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

04:033:028 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

04:033:029 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

04:033:030 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

04:033:031 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.

04:033:032 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.

04:033:033 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

04:033:034 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

04:033:035 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.

04:033:036 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the

wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

04:033:037 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the

edge of the land of Edom.

04:033:038 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.

04:033:039 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when

he died in mount Hor.

04:033:040 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the

land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

04:033:041 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

04:033:042 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

04:033:043 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

04:033:044 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

04:033:045 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

04:033:046 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in

Almondiblathaim.

04:033:047 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the

mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

04:033:048 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in

the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

04:033:049 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto

Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

04:033:050 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan

near Jericho, saying,

04:033:051 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye

are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:033:052 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:

04:033:053 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

04:033:054 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.

04:033:055 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.

04:033:056 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

04:034:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:002 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:)

04:034:003 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:

04:034:004 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:

04:034:005 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.

04:034:006 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great

sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

04:034:007 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye

shall point out for you mount Hor:

04:034:008 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:

04:034:009 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of

it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

04:034:010 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to

Shepham:

04:034:011 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:

04:034:012 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.

04:034:013 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:

04:034:014 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:

04:034:015 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

04:034:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:017 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land

unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

04:034:018 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the

land by inheritance.

04:034:019 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah,

Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

04:034:020 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of

Ammihud.

04:034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

04:034:022 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the

son of Jogli.

04:034:023 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the

children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

04:034:024 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel

the son of Shiphtan.

04:034:025 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,

Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

04:034:026 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar,

Paltiel the son of Azzan.

04:034:027 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud

the son of Shelomi.

04:034:028 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali,

Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

04:034:029 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the

inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

04:035:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan

near Jericho, saying,

04:035:002 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.

04:035:003 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.

04:035:004 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.

04:035:005 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.

04:035:006 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.

04:035:007 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

04:035:008 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.

04:035:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:035:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:035:011 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.

04:035:012 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.

04:035:013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

04:035:014 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.

04:035:015 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.

04:035:016 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.

04:035:017 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.

04:035:018 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.

04:035:019 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he

meeteth him, he shall slay him.

04:035:020 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of

wait, that he die;

04:035:021 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.

04:035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

04:035:023 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:

04:035:024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

04:035:025 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.

04:035:026 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

04:035:027 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:

04:035:028 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.

04:035:029 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

04:035:030 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.

04:035:031 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.

04:035:032 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.

04:035:033 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.

04:035:034 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

04:036:001 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:

04:036:002 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.

04:036:003 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.

04:036:004 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.

04:036:005 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.

04:036:006 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.

04:036:007 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.

04:036:008 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.

04:036:009 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.

04:036:010 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

04:036:011 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the

daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's

brothers' sons:

04:036:012 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.

04:036:013 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.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
