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 young bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:018 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:019 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings. 029:020 On the third day eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:021 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:022 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:023 On the fourth day ten bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:024 their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:025 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:026 On the fifth day nine bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:027 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:028 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:029 On the sixth day eight bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:030 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:031 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offerings of it. 029:032 On the seventh day seven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:033 and their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance; 029:034 and one male goat for a sin offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:035 On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work; 029:036 but you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh: one bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish; 029:037 their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance: 029:038 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it. 029:039 These you shall offer to Yahweh in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings. 029:040 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses. 030:001 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded. 030:002 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 030:003 Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, 030:004 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 030:005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 030:006 If she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, 030:007 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 030:008 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her. 030:009 But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her. 030:010 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 030:011 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. 030:012 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her. 030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 030:014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 030:015 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. 030:016 These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house. 031:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward you shall be gathered to your people. 031:003 Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm you men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh's vengeance on Midian. 031:004 Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall you send to the war. 031:005 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 031:006 Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. 031:007 They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male. 031:008 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword. 031:009 The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey. 031:010 All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire. 031:011 They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal. 031:012 They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho. 031:013 Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp. 031:014 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war. 031:015 Moses said to them, Have you saved all the women alive? 031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh. 031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 031:018 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 031:019 Encamp you outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives. 031:020 As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves. 031:021 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses: 031:022 however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 031:023 everything that may abide the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water. 031:024 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp. 031:025 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the congregation; 031:027 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation. 031:028 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the donkeys, and of the flocks: 031:029 take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh's wave offering. 031:030 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, [even] of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh. 031:031 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:032 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, 031:033 and seventy-two thousand oxen, 031:034 and sixty-one thousand donkeys, 031:035 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him. 031:036 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: 031:037 and Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five. 031:038 The oxen were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh's tribute was seventy-two. 031:039 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh's tribute was sixty-one. 031:040 The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh's tribute was thirty-two persons. 031:041 Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh's wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:042 Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men who warred 031:043 (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, 031:044 and thirty-six thousand oxen, 031:045 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, 031:046 and sixteen thousand persons), 031:047 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tent of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 031:048 The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses; 031:049 and they said to Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us. 031:050 We have brought Yahweh's offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh. 031:051 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all worked jewels. 031:052 All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels. 031:053 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.) 031:054 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh. 032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place was a place for livestock; 032:002 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 032:004 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock. 032:005 They said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; don't bring us over the Jordan. 032:006 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here? 032:007 Why discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? 032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 032:009 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. 032:010 Yahweh's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying, 032:011 Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: 032:012 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed Yahweh. 032:013 Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed. 032:014 Behold, you are risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel. 032:015 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people. 032:016 They came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones: 032:017 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 032:018 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 032:019 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward. 032:020 Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, 032:021 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him, 032:022 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh. 032:023 But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out. 032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth. 032:025 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as my lord commands. 032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 032:027 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says. 032:028 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel. 032:029 Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land shall be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: 032:030 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 032:031 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. 032:032 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance [shall remain] with us beyond the Jordan. 032:033 Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities of it with [their] borders, even the cities of the land round about. 032:034 The children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 032:035 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, 032:036 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 032:037 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, 032:038 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built. 032:039 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 032:040 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein. 032:041 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns of it, and called them Havvoth Jair. 032:042 Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called it Nobah, after his own name. 033:001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 033:002 Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Yahweh: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 033:003 They traveled from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, 033:004 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom Yahweh had struck among them: on their gods also Yahweh executed judgments. 033:005 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. 033:006 They traveled from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 033:007 They traveled from Etham, and turned back to Pihahiroth, which is before Baal Zephon: and they encamped before Migdol. 033:008 They traveled from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. 033:009 They traveled from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there. 033:010 They traveled from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}. 033:011 They traveled from the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 033:012 They traveled from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 033:013 They traveled from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 033:014 They traveled from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 033:015 They traveled from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 033:016 They traveled from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth Hattaavah. 033:017 They traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. 033:018 They traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. 033:019 They traveled from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon Perez. 033:020 They traveled from Rimmon Perez, and encamped in Libnah. 033:021 They traveled from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. 033:022 They traveled from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. 033:023 They traveled from Kehelathah, and encamped in Mount Shepher. 033:024 They traveled from Mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. 033:025 They traveled from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. 033:026 They traveled from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. 033:027 They traveled from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. 033:028 They traveled from Terah, and encamped in Mithkah. 033:029 They traveled from Mithkah, and encamped in Hashmonah. 033:030 They traveled from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. 033:031 They traveled from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene Jaakan. 033:032 They traveled from Bene Jaakan, and encamped in Hor Haggidgad. 033:033 They traveled from Hor Haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. 033:034 They traveled from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. 033:035 They traveled from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion Geber. 033:036 They traveled from Ezion Geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). 033:037 They traveled from Kadesh, and encamped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 033:038 Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor at the commandment of Yahweh, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. 033:039 Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor. 033:040 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 033:041 They traveled from Mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. 033:042 They traveled from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. 033:043 They traveled from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. 033:044 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped in Iye Abarim, in the border of Moab. 033:045 They traveled from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon Gad. 033:046 They traveled from Dibon Gad, and encamped in Almon Diblathaim. 033:047 They traveled from Almon Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 033:048 They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 033:049 They encamped by the Jordan, from Beth Jeshimoth even to Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab. 033:050 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 033:051 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 033:052 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: 033:053 and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for to you have I given the land to possess it. 033:054 You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit. 033:055 But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those who you let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land in which you dwell. 033:056 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you. 034:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 034:002 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it), 034:003 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; 034:004 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon; 034:005 and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 034:006 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border. 034:007 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor; 034:008 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; 034:009 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border. 034:010 You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 034:011 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; 034:012 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about. 034:013 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; 034:014 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: 034:015 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise. 034:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 034:017 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 034:018 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 034:019 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 034:020 Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 034:022 Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. 034:023 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 034:024 Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 034:025 Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 034:026 Of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 034:027 Of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 034:028 Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 034:029 These are they whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. 035:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 035:002 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall you give to the Levites. 035:003 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals. 035:004 The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits round about. 035:005 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 035:006 The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities. 035:007 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities; them [shall you give] with their suburbs. 035:008 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites. 035:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 035:010 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 035:011 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 035:012 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment. 035:013 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. 035:014 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall you give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. 035:015 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 035:016 But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:017 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:018 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 035:019 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 035:020 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, 035:021 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him. 035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait, 035:023 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; 035:024 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; 035:025 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. 035:026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees, 035:027 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, 035:028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession. 035:029 These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 035:030 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. 035:031 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. 035:032 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 035:033 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it. 035:034 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. 036:001 The heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel: 036:002 and they said, Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. 036:003 If they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. 036:004 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 036:005 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right. 036:006 This is the thing which Yahweh does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married. 036:007 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 036:008 Every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers. 036:009 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to his own inheritance. 036:010 Even as Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 036:011 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons. 036:012 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 036:013 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
