the dedication of the altar, after it was anointed. 007:089 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him. 008:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 008:002 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'" 008:003 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 008:004 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand. 008:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 008:006 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 008:007 Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. 008:008 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering. 008:009 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel. 008:010 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites, 008:011 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh. 008:012 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites. 008:013 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh. 008:014 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine. 008:015 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering. 008:016 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me. 008:017 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. 008:018 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 008:019 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 Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary." 008:020 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them. 008:021 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 008:022 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them. 008:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 008:024 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting; 008:025 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more, 008:026 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their duties." 009:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 009:002 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season. 009:003 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season—according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it." 009:004 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover. 009:005 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did. 009:006 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day. 009:007 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?" 009:008 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you." 009:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 009:010 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh. 009:011 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 009:012 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it. 009:013 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 009:014 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'" 009:015 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 009:016 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 009:017 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped. 009:018 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped. 009:019 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, and didn't travel. 009:020 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. 009:021 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled. 009:022 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled. 009:023 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept the charge of Yahweh, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses. 010:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 010:002 Make you two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall you make them: and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps. 010:003 When they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting. 010:004 If they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 010:005 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey. 010:006 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 010:007 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 010:008 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations. 010:009 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 010:010 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yahweh your God. 010:011 It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tent of the testimony. 010:012 The children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. 010:013 They first took their journey according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses. 010:014 In the first [place] the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 010:015 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 010:016 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 010:017 The tent was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tent, set forward. 010:018 The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 010:019 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 010:020 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 010:021 The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the others] did set up the tent against their coming. 010:022 The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 010:023 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 010:024 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 010:025 The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 010:026 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 010:027 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 010:028 Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they set forward. 010:029 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, I will give it to you: come you with us, and we will do you good; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel. 010:030 He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives. 010:031 He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes. 010:032 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you. 010:033 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 010:034 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 010:035 It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate you flee before you. 010:036 When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel. 011:001 The people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of Yahweh: and when Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahweh burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 011:002 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated. 011:003 The name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Yahweh burnt among them. 011:004 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 011:005 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 011:006 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look on. 011:007 The manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium. 011:008 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 011:009 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. 011:010 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 011:011 Moses said to Yahweh, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 011:012 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers? 011:013 Where should I get meat to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us meat, that we may eat. 011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 011:015 If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. 011:016 Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 011:017 I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone. 011:018 Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you shall eat. 011:019 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 011:020 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 011:021 Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 011:022 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 011:023 Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall you see whether my word shall happen to you or not. 011:024 Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent. 011:025 Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. 011:026 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 011:027 There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 011:028 Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them. 011:029 Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them! 011:030 Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 011:031 There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth. 011:032 The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 011:033 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague. 011:034 The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted. 011:035 From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth. 012:001 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. 012:002 They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it. 012:003 Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth. 012:004 Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. They three came out. 012:005 Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 012:006 He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 012:007 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: 012:008 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses? 012:009 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed. 012:010 The cloud removed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. 012:011 Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 012:012 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb. 012:013 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you. 012:014 Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 012:015 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again. 012:016 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran. 013:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 013:002 Send you men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, everyone a prince among them. 013:003 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 013:004 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 013:016 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. 013:017 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country: 013:018 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; 013:019 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 013:020 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. 013:021 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 013:022 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 013:023 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 013:024 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there. 013:025 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. 013:026 They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and shown them the fruit of the land. 013:027 They told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 013:028 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 013:029 Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan. 013:030 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. 013:031 But the men who went up with him said, We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 013:032 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. 013:033 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. 014:001 All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 014:002 All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness! 014:003 Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt? 014:004 They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 014:006 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes: 014:007 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 014:008 If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey. 014:009 Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don't fear them. 014:010 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel. 014:011 Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them? 014:012 I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they. 014:013 Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them; 014:014 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 014:015 Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying, 014:016 Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness. 014:017 Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying, 014:018 Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation. 014:019 Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 014:020 Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word: 014:021 but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh; 014:022 because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; 014:023 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it: 014:024 but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it. 014:025 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. 014:026 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 014:027 How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 014:028 Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you: 014:029 your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, 014:030 surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 014:031 But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. 014:032 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 014:033 Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness. 014:034 After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation. 014:035 I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 014:036 The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 014:037 even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh. 014:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land. 014:039 Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 014:040 They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned. 014:041 Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper? 014:042 Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies. 014:043 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you. 014:044 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp. 014:045 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah. 015:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 015:002 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, 015:003 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock; 015:004 then shall he who offers his offering offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil: 015:005 and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, shall you prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 015:006 Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil: 015:007 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 015:008 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh; 015:009 then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil: 015:010 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 015:011 Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. 015:012 According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to everyone according to their number. 015:013 All who are native-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 015:014 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do. 015:015 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh. 015:016 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you. 015:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 015:018 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you, 015:019 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh. 015:020 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you heave it. 015:021 Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations. 015:022 When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, 015:023 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; 015:024 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 015:025 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error: 015:026 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. 015:027 If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 015:028 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 015:029 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them. 015:030 But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 015:031 Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him. 015:032 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 015:033 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 015:034 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him. 015:035 Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp. 015:036 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 015:037 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 015:038 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make them fringes{or, tassels (Hebrew tzitzit)} in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe{or, tassel} of each border a cord of blue: 015:039 and it shall be to you for a fringe{or, tassel}, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute; 015:040 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 015:041 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God. 016:001 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]: 016:002 and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown; 016:003 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yahweh? 016:004 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face: 016:005 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall choose he will cause to come near to him. 016:006 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company; 016:007 and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh does choose, he [shall be] holy: you take too much on you, you sons of Levi. 016:008 Moses said to Korah, Hear now, you sons of Levi: 016:009 [seems it but] a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tent of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them; 016:010 and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and seek you the priesthood also? 016:011 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Yahweh: and Aaron, what is he who you murmur against him? 016:012 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We won't come up: 016:013 is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must needs make yourself also a prince over us? 016:014 Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? we won't come up. 016:015 Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, "Don't respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them." 016:016 Moses said to Korah, You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: 016:017 and take every man his censer, and put incense on them, and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer. 016:018 They took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 016:019 Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation. 016:020 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 016:022 They fell on their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation? 016:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 016:024 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 016:025 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 016:026 He spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins. 016:027 So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. 016:028 Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of my own mind. 016:029 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn't sent me. 016:030 But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh. 016:031 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them; 016:032 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods. 016:033 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. 016:034 All Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. 016:035 Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense. 016:036 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 016:037 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are holy, 016:038 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel. 016:039 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar, 016:040 to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses. 016:041 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Yahweh. 016:042 It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared. 016:043 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting. 016:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 016:045 Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. They fell on their faces. 016:046 Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun. 016:047 Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. 016:048 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 016:049 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah. 016:050 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed. 017:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 017:002 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write you every man's name on his rod. 017:003 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses. 017:004 You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. 017:005 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. 017:006 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 017:007 Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony. 017:008 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. 017:009 Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 017:010 Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die. 017:011 Thus did Moses: as Yahweh commanded him, so did he. 017:012 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. 017:013 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us? 018:001 Yahweh said to Aaron, You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 018:002 Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony. 018:003 They shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you. 018:004 They shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you. 018:005 You shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel. 018:006 I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 018:007 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 018:008 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, I, behold, I have given you the charge of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever. 018:009 This shall be your of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons. 018:010 As the most holy things shall you eat of it; every male shall eat of it: it shall be holy to you. 018:011 This is your: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it. 018:012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh, to you have I given them. 018:013 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it. 018:014 Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours. 018:015 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals shall you redeem. 018:016 Those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). 018:017 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to Yahweh. 018:018 The flesh of them shall be your, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours. 018:019 All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you. 018:020 Yahweh said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them: I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel. 018:021 To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. 018:022 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. 018:023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 018:024 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 018:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 018:026 Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe. 018:027 Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. 018:028 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh's wave offering to Aaron the priest. 018:029 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Yahweh, of all the best of it, even the holy part of it out of it. 018:030 Therefore you shall tell them, When you heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress. 018:031 You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting. 018:032 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it the best of it: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die. 019:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 019:002 This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, [and] on which never came yoke. 019:003 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face: 019:004 and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. 019:005 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 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. 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. 019:008 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. 019:009 A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin offering. 019:010 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever. 019:011 He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days: 019:012 the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 019:013 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tent of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him. 019:014 This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 019:015 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean. 019:016 Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 019:017 For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: 019:018 and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave: 019:019 and the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 019:020 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh: the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean. 019:021 It shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until even. 019:022 Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even. 020:001 The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. 020:002 There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 020:003 The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh! 020:004 Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals? 020:005 Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to 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. 020:006 Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them. 020:007 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 020:008 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink. 020:009 Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him. 020:010 Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock? 020:011 Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. 020:012 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, Because you didn't believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them. 020:013 These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them. 020:014 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has happened to us: 020:015 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers: 020:016 and when we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border. 020:017 Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border. 020:018 Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you. 020:019 The children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then will I give the price of it: let me only, without [doing] anything [else], pass through on my feet. 020:020 He said, You shall not pass through. Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: why Israel turned away from him. 020:022 They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor. 020:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 020:024 Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. 020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor; 020:026 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [to his people], and shall die there. 020:027 Moses did as Yahweh commanded: and they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 020:028 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. 020:029 When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. 021:001 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. 021:002 Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 021:003 Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah. 021:004 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 021:005 The people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread. 021:006 Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 021:007 The people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh, and against you; pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. Moses prayed for the people. 021:008 Yahweh said to Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live. 021:009 Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived. 021:010 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth. 021:011 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise. 021:012 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered. 021:013 From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 021:014 Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yahweh, "Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon, 021:015 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab." 021:016 From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 021:017 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it: 021:018 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles." From the wilderness [they traveled] to Mattanah; 021:019 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; 021:020 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert. 021:021 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 021:022 Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border. 021:023 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel. 021:024 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 021:025 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns of it. 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 to the Arnon. 021:027 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established; 021:028 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon. 021:029 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites. 021:030 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba." 021:031 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 021:032 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns of it, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 021:033 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 battle at Edrei. 021:034 Yahweh said to Moses, Don't fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon. 021:035 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land. 022:001 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. 022:002 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 022:003 Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 022:004 Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. 022:005 He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to 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 surface of the earth, and they abide over against me. 022:006 Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed. 022:007 The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. 022:008 He said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 022:009 God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you? 022:010 Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, [saying], 022:011 Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covers the surface of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out. 022:012 God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people; for they are blessed. 022:013 Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land; for Yahweh refuses to give me leave to go with you. 022:014 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us. 022:015 Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. 022:016 They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me: 022:017 for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me. 022:018 Balaam answered the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more. 022:019 Now therefore, please wait also here this night, that I may know what Yahweh will speak to me more. 022:020 God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men are come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that shall you do. 022:021 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab. 022:022 God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Yahweh placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 022:023 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way. 022:024 Then the angel of Yahweh stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 022:025 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he struck her again. 022:026 The angel of Yahweh went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 022:027 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff. 022:028 Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times? 022:029 Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed you. 022:030 The donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? was I ever wont to do so to you? and he said, No. 022:031 Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. 022:032 The angel of Yahweh said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because your way is perverse before me: 022:033 and the donkey saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain you, and saved her alive. 022:034 Balaam said to the angel of Yahweh, I have sinned; for I didn't know that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again. 022:035 The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. 022:036 When Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border. 022:037 Balak said to Balaam, Didn't I earnestly send to you to call you? why didn't you come to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor? 022:038 Balaam said to Balak, Behold, I have come to you: have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. 022:039 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth. 022:040 Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him. 022:041 It happened in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there the utmost part of the people. 023:001 Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams. 023:002 Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram. 023:003 Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. He went to a bare height. 023:004 God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar. 023:005 Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak. 023:006 He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. 023:007 He took up his parable, and said, From Aram has Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, Come, defy Israel. 023:008 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy, whom Yahweh has not defied? 023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, From the hills I see him: behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations. 023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, Let my last end be like his! 023:011 Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether. 023:012 He answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth? 023:013 Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place, from whence you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from there. 023:014 He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar. 023:015 He said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet [Yahweh] yonder. 023:016 Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak. 023:017 He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, What has Yahweh spoken? 023:018 He took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor. 023:019 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good? 023:020 Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can't reverse it. 023:021 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them. 023:022 God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. 023:023 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done! 023:024 Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain. 023:025 Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 023:026 But Balaam answered Balak, Didn't I tell you, saying, All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do? 023:027 Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; peradventure it will please God that you may curse me them from there. 023:028 Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert. 023:029 Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams. 023:030 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar. 024:001 When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he didn't go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 024:002 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him. 024:003 He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says; 024:004 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open: 024:005 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel! 024:006 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters. 024:007 Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted. 024:008 God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows. 024:009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed. 024:010 Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times. 024:011 Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor. 024:012 Balaam said to Balak, Didn't I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying, 024:013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad of my own mind; what Yahweh speaks, that will I speak? 024:014 Now, behold, I go to my people: come, [and] I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days. 024:015 He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says; 024:016 he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open: 024:017 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Sheth. 024:018 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. 024:019 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city. 024:020 He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction. 024:021 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock. 024:022 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive. 024:023 He took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this? 024:024 But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction. 024:025 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way. 025:001 Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab: 025:002 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. 025:003 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel. 025:004 Yahweh said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel. 025:005 Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill you everyone his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor. 025:006 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 025:007 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand; 025:008 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 025:009 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. 025:010 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 025:011 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn't consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. 025:012 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace: 025:013 and it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel. 025:014 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites. 025:015 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian. 025:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 025:017 Vex the Midianites, and strike them; 025:018 for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor. 026:001 It happened after the plague, that Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, 026:002 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all who are able to go forth to war in Israel. 026:003 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 026:004 [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward; as Yahweh commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt. 026:005 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: [of] Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 026:006 of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 026:007 These are the families of the Reubenites; and those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty. 026:008 The sons of Pallu: Eliab. 026:009 The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against Yahweh, 026:010 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died; what time the fire devoured two hundred fifty men, and they became a sign. 026:011 Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah didn't die. 026:012 The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; 026:013 of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. 026:014 These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand two hundred. 026:015 The sons of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni, the family of the Shunites; 026:016 of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites; 026:017 of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites. 026:018 These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred. 026:019 The sons of Judah: Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 026:020 The sons of Judah after their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Perezites; of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites. 026:021 The sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. 026:022 These are the families of Judah according to those who were numbered of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred. 026:023 The sons of Issachar after their families: [of] Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the family of the Punites; 026:024 of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. 026:025 These are the families of Issachar according to those who were numbered of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred. 026:026 The sons of Zebulun after their families: of Sered, the family of the Seredites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. 026:027 These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those who were numbered of them, sixty thousand five hundred. 026:028 The sons of Joseph after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. 026:029 The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir became the father of Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. 026:030 These are the sons of Gilead: [of] Iezer, the family of the Iezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites; 026:031 and [of] Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and [of] Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; 026:032 and [of] Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and [of] Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 026:033 Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 026:034 These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand seven hundred. 026:035 These are the sons of Ephraim after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, the family of the Becherites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 026:036 These are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. 026:037 These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those who were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph after their families. 026:038 The sons of Benjamin after their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; 026:039 of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites. 026:040 The sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: [of Ard], the family of the Ardites; of Naaman, the family of the Naamites. 026:041 These are the sons of Benjamin after their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand six hundred. 026:042 These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan after their families. 026:043 All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those who were numbered of them, were sixty-four thousand four hundred. 026:044 The sons of Asher after their families: of Imnah, the family of the Imnites; of Ishvi, the family of the Ishvites; of Beriah, the family of the Berites. 026:045 Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites. 026:046 The name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 026:047 These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those who were numbered of them, fifty-three thousand and four hundred. 026:048 The sons of Naphtali after their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites; 026:049 of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. 026:050 These are the families of Naphtali according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand four hundred. 026:051 These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred one thousand seven hundred thirty. 026:052 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 026:053 To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names. 026:054 To the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: to everyone according to those who were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given. 026:055 Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. 026:056 According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer. 026:057 These are those who were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. 026:058 These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. Kohath became the father of Amram. 026:059 The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 026:060 To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 026:061 Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before Yahweh. 026:062 Those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male 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. 026:063 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 026:064 But among these there was not a man of them who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 026:065 For Yahweh had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. There was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 027:001 Then drew near 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. 027:002 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying, 027:003 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 027:004 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father. 027:005 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh. 027:006 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 027:008 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 027:009 If he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 027:010 If he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 027:011 If his father have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 027:012 Yahweh said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. 027:013 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered; 027:014 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 027:015 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying, 027:016 Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, 027:017 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of Yahweh not be as sheep which have no shepherd. 027:018 Yahweh said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; 027:019 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 027:020 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey. 027:021 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh: 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. 027:022 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: 027:023 and he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as Yahweh spoke by Moses. 028:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 028:002 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, My offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor to me, shall you observe to offer to me in their due season. 028:003 You shall tell them, This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 028:004 The one lamb shall you offer in the morning, and the other lamb shall you offer at even; 028:005 and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. 028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 028:007 The drink offering of it shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shall you pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh. 028:008 The other lamb shall you offer at even: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 028:009 On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it: 028:010 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. 028:011 In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish; 028:012 and three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram; 028:013 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 028:014 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 028:015 One male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. 028:016 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh's Passover. 028:017 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 028:018 In the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work; 028:019 but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish; 028:020 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three tenth parts shall you offer for a bull, and two tenth parts for the ram; 028:021 a tenth part shall you offer for every lamb of the seven lambs; 028:022 and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. 028:023 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 028:024 After this manner you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. 028:025 On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work. 028:026 Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Yahweh in your [feast of] weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work; 028:027 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; 028:028 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the one ram, 028:029 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs; 028:030 one male goat, to make atonement for you. 028:031 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink offerings. 029:001 In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing of trumpets to you. 029:002 You shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor to Yahweh: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:003 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for the bull, two tenth parts for the ram, 029:004 and one tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs; 029:005 and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you; 029:006 besides the burnt offering of the new moon, and the meal offering of it, and the continual burnt offering and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 029:007 On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall do no manner of work; 029:008 but you shall offer a burnt offering to Yahweh for a sweet savor: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish; 029:009 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for the bull, two tenth parts for the one ram, 029:010 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs: 029:011 one male goat for a sin offering; besides the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings. 029:012 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work, and you shall keep a feast to Yahweh seven days: 029:013 and you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish; 029:014 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for every bull of the thirteen bulls, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams, 029:015 and a tenth part for every lamb of the fourteen lambs; 029:016 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:017 On the second day [you shall offer] twelve
