NU-1:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,

 in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of

the second month, in the second year after they were come out of

the land of Egypt, saying,


NU-1:2  Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children

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

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


NU-1:3  From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to

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

their armies.


NU-1:4  And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every

first [day] of the second month, and they declared their

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

according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and

NU-1:19  As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the

wilderness of Sinai.

NU-1:47  But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were

not numbered among them.


NU-1:48  For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,


NU-1:49  Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither

take the sum of them among the children of Israel:


NU-1:50  But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle

of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all

things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and

all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and

shall encamp round about the tabernacle.


NU-1:51  And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites

shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched,

the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh

shall be put to death.


NU-1:52  And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents,

every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,

throughout their hosts.


NU-1:53  But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle

of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of

the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of

the tabernacle of testimony.


NU-1:54  And the children of Israel did according to all that

the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.


*NU-2:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-2:2  Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his

own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off

about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.


NU-2:3  And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall

they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their

armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab [shall be] captain of

the children of Judah.

Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.


NU-2:13  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.


NU-2:14  Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of

Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel.


NU-2:15  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.


NU-2:16  All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben [were] an

hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and

fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the

second rank.


NU-2:17  Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set

forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp:

as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his

place by their standards.


NU-2:18  On the west side [shall be] the standard of the camp of

Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons

of Ephraim [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud.


NU-2:19  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] forty thousand and five hundred.


NU-2:20  And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the

NU-2:23  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] thirty and five thousand and four hundred.


NU-2:24  All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim [were] an

side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan

[shall be] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.


NU-2:26  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.


NU-2:27  And those that encamp by him [shall be] the tribe of

Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher [shall be]

Pagiel the son of Ocran.


NU-2:28  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] forty and one thousand and five hundred.


NU-2:29  Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the

children of Naphtali [shall be] Ahira the son of Enan.


NU-2:30  And his host, and those that were numbered of them,

[were] fifty and three thousand and four hundred.


NU-2:31  All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan [were]

an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred.

 They shall go hindmost with their standards.


NU-2:32  These [are] those which were numbered of the children

of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were

numbered of the camps throughout their hosts [were] six hundred

thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.


NU-2:33  But the Levites were not numbered among the children of

Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.


NU-2:34  And the children of Israel did according to all that

the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards,

and so they set forward, every one after their families,

according to the house of their fathers.


*NU-3:1  These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in

the day [that] the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.


NU-3:2  And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab

the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.


NU-3:3  These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests

which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the

priest's office.


NU-3:4  And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they

offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai,

 and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in

the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.


NU-3:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-3:6  Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before

Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.


NU-3:7  And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the

whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to

do the service of the tabernacle.


NU-3:8  And they shall keep all the instruments of the

tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children

of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.


NU-3:9  And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his

sons: they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of

Israel.


NU-3:10  And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they

shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that

cometh nigh shall be put to death.


NU-3:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-3:12  And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the

children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the

matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall

be mine;


NU-3:13  Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day

that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed

unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine

shall they be: I [am] the LORD.


NU-3:14  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of

Sinai, saying,


NU-3:15  Number the children of Levi after the house of their

fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and

upward shalt thou number them.


NU-3:16  And Moses numbered them according to the word of the

LORD, as he was commanded.


NU-3:17  And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon,

 and Kohath, and Merari.


NU-3:18  And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by

their families; Libni, and Shimei.


NU-3:19  And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and

Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.


NU-3:20  And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and

Mushi. These [are] the families of the Levites according to the

house of their fathers.


NU-3:21  Of Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the

family of the Shimites: these [are] the families of the

Gershonites.


NU-3:22  Those that were numbered of them, according to the

number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even]

those that were numbered of them [were] seven thousand and five

hundred.


NU-3:23  The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the

tabernacle westward.


NU-3:24  And the chief of the house of the father of the

Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael.


NU-3:25  And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle

of the congregation [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, the

covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation.


NU-3:26  And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the

door of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the

altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service

thereof.


NU-3:27  And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and

the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites,

and the family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of

the Kohathites.


NU-3:28  In the number of all the males, from a month old and

upward, [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the

charge of the sanctuary.


NU-3:29  The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the

side of the tabernacle southward.


NU-3:30  And the chief of the house of the father of the

families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of

Uzziel.


NU-3:31  And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and

the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the

sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the

service thereof.


NU-3:32  And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be]

chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of

them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.


NU-3:33  Of Merari [was] the family of the Mahlites, and the

family of the Mushites: these [are] the families of Merari.


NU-3:34  And those that were numbered of them, according to the

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

thousand and two hundred.


NU-3:35  And the chief of the house of the father of the

families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these]

shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.


NU-3:36  And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of

Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars

thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and

all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,


NU-3:37  And the pillars of the court round about, and their

sockets, and their pins, and their cords.


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

east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward,

[shall be] Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of

the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the

stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.


NU-3:39  All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and

Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their

families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were]

twenty and two thousand.


NU-3:40  And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn

of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and

upward, and take the number of their names.


NU-3:41  And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the

LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel;

and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings

among the cattle of the children of Israel.


NU-3:42  And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the

firstborn among the children of Israel.


NU-3:43  And all the firstborn males by the number of names,

from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them,

 were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and

thirteen.


NU-3:44  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-3:45  Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the

children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of

their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.


NU-3:46  And for those that are to be redeemed of the two

hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the

children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;


NU-3:47  Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll,

after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: (the

shekel [is] twenty gerahs:)


NU-3:48  And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number

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


NU-3:49  And Moses took the redemption money of them that were

over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:


NU-3:50  Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the

money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five

[shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:


NU-3:51  And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed

unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD,

as the LORD commanded Moses.


*NU-4:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-4:2  Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons

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


NU-4:3  From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years

old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the

tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-4:4  This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the

tabernacle of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:


NU-4:5  And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and

his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover

the ark of testimony with it:


NU-4:6  And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins,

and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put

in the staves thereof.


NU-4:7  And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a

cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and

the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread

shall be thereon:


NU-4:8  And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and

cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put

in the staves thereof.


NU-4:9  And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the

candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his

snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they

minister unto it:


NU-4:10  And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof

within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a

bar.


NU-4:11  And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of

blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall

put to the staves thereof:


NU-4:12  And they shall take all the instruments of ministry,

wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put [them] in a

cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins,

and shall put [them] on a bar:


NU-4:13  And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and

spread a purple cloth thereon:


NU-4:14  And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof,

wherewith they minister about it, [even] the censers, the

fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of

the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers'

skins, and put to the staves of it.


NU-4:15  And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of

covering the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after

that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it]: but they shall

not touch [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are]

the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the

congregation.


NU-4:16  And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the

priest [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet incense,

 and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the

oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein [is],

in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.


NU-4:17  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-4:18  Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the

Kohathites from among the Levites:


NU-4:19  But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die,

when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons

shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to

his burden:


NU-4:20  But they shall not go in to see when the holy things

are covered, lest they die.


NU-4:21  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-4:22  Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout

the houses of their fathers, by their families;


NU-4:23  From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old

shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service,

 to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-4:24  This [is] the service of the families of the

Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:


NU-4:25  And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and

the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the

covering of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it, and the

hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,


NU-4:26  And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the

door of the gate of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and

by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the

instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so

shall they serve.


NU-4:27  At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all

the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens,

 and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in

charge all their burdens.


NU-4:28  This [is] the service of the families of the sons of

Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge

[shall be] under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.


NU-4:29  As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after

their families, by the house of their fathers;


NU-4:30  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years

old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the

service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-4:31  And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to

all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the

boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars

thereof, and sockets thereof,


NU-4:32  And the pillars of the court round about, and their

sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their

instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall

reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.


NU-4:33  This [is] the service of the families of the sons of

Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the

congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the

priest.


NU-4:34  And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation

numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and

after the house of their fathers,


NU-4:35  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years

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

the tabernacle of the congregation:


NU-4:36  And those that were numbered of them by their families

were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.


NU-4:37  These [were] they that were numbered of the families of

the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of

the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to

the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.


NU-4:38  And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,

throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,


NU-4:39  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years

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

the tabernacle of the congregation,


NU-4:40  Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their

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

six hundred and thirty.


NU-4:41  These [are] they that were numbered of the families of

the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the

tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number

according to the commandment of the LORD.


NU-4:42  And those that were numbered of the families of the

sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their

fathers,


NU-4:43  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years

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

the tabernacle of the congregation,


NU-4:44  Even those that were numbered of them after their

families, were three thousand and two hundred.


NU-4:45  These [be] those that were numbered of the families of

the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to

the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.


NU-4:46  All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses

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

 and after the house of their fathers,


NU-4:47  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years

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

the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,


NU-4:48  Even those that were numbered of them, were eight

thousand and five hundred and fourscore.


NU-4:49  According to the commandment of the LORD they were

numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his

service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of

him, as the LORD commanded Moses.


*NU-5:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-5:2  Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the

camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and

whosoever is defiled by the dead:


NU-5:3  Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp

shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the

midst whereof I dwell.


NU-5:4  And the children of Israel did so, and put them out

without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the

children of Israel.


NU-5:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-5:6  Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman

shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against

the LORD, and that person be guilty;


NU-5:7  Then they shall confess their sin which they have done:

and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof,

and add unto it the fifth [part] thereof, and give [it] unto

[him] against whom he hath trespassed.


NU-5:8  But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the

trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD,

[even] to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby

an atonement shall be made for him.


NU-5:9  And every offering of all the holy things of the

children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be

his.


NU-5:10  And every man's hallowed things shall be his:

whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.


NU-5:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-5:12  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,


NU-5:13  And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the

eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and

[there be] no witness against her, neither she be taken [with

the manner];


NU-5:14  And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be

jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of

jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she

be not defiled:


NU-5:15  Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and

he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an

ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put

frankincense thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an

offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.


NU-5:16  And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before

the LORD:


NU-5:17  And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen

vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle

the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:


NU-5:18  And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and

uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in

her hands, which [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest

shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:


NU-5:19  And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say

unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast

not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy

husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the

curse:


NU-5:20  But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy

husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with

thee beside thine husband:


NU-5:21  Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of

cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make

thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth

make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;


NU-5:22  And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy

bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot:

And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.


NU-5:23  And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and

he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:


NU-5:24  And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water

that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse

shall enter into her, [and become] bitter.


NU-5:25  Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of

the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD,

and offer it upon the altar:


NU-5:26  And the priest shall take an handful of the offering,

[even] the memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the altar, and

afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.


NU-5:27  And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it

shall come to pass, [that], if she be defiled, and have done

trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the

curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter, and her belly

shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a

curse among her people.


NU-5:28  And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she

shall be free, and shall conceive seed.


NU-5:29  This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth

aside [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;


NU-5:30  Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he

be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the

LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.


NU-5:31  Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this

woman shall bear her iniquity.


*NU-6:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-6:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a

vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:


NU-6:3  He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink,

and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink,

neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist

grapes, or dried.


NU-6:4  All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that

is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.


NU-6:5  All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no

razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the

which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy,

[and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.


NU-6:6  All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD

he shall come at no dead body.


NU-6:7  He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for

his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die:

because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head.


NU-6:8  All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the

LORD.


NU-6:9  And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath

defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his

head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he

shave it.


NU-6:10  And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or

two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation:


NU-6:11  And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,

and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for

him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head

that same day.


NU-6:12  And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his

separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a

trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost,

because his separation was defiled.


NU-6:13  And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of

his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation:


NU-6:14  And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he

lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and

one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin

offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,


NU-6:15  And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour

mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with

oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.


NU-6:16  And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and

shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:


NU-6:17  And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace

offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread:

the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink

offering.


NU-6:18  And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation

[at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall

take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the

fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.


NU-6:19  And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the

ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one

unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the

Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:


NU-6:20  And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering

before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave

breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink

wine.


NU-6:21  This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and

of] his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside [that]

that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so

he must do after the law of his separation.


NU-6:22  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-6:23  Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this

wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,


NU-6:24  The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:


NU-6:25  The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious

unto thee:


NU-6:26  The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give

thee peace.


NU-6:27  And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel;

and I will bless them.


*NU-7:1  And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set

up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and

all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels

thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;


NU-7:2  That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their

fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over

them that were numbered, offered:


NU-7:3  And they brought their offering before the LORD, six

covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes,

and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the

tabernacle.


NU-7:4  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-7:5  Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of

the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them

unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.


NU-7:6  And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them

unto the Levites.


NU-7:7  Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of

Gershon, according to their service:


NU-7:8  And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of

Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar

the son of Aaron the priest.


NU-7:9  But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the

service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they

should bear upon their shoulders.


NU-7:10  And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in

the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their

offering before the altar.


NU-7:11  And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their

offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the

altar.


NU-7:12  And he that offered his offering the first day was

congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one

speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that [was] upon the

ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake

unto him.


*NU-8:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-8:2  Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest

the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the

candlestick.


NU-8:3  And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over

against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.


NU-8:4  And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold,

unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten

work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses,

 so he made the candlestick.


NU-8:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-8:6  Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and

cleanse them.


NU-8:7  And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them:

Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all

their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make

themselves clean.


NU-8:8  Then let them take a young bullock with his meat

offering, [even] fine flour mingled with oil, and another young

bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.


NU-8:9  And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle

of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of

the children of Israel together:


NU-8:10  And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and

the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:


NU-8:11  And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for]

an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the

service of the LORD.


NU-8:12  And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of

the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin offering,

and the other [for] a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an

atonement for the Levites.


NU-8:13  And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before

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


NU-8:14  Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the

children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.


NU-8:15  And after that shall the Levites go in to do the

service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt

cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.


NU-8:16  For they [are] wholly given unto me from among the

children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even

instead of] the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I

taken them unto me.


NU-8:17  For all the firstborn of the children of Israel [are]

mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every

firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.


NU-8:18  And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of

the children of Israel.


NU-8:19  And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and

to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service

of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation,

and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there

be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of

Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.


NU-8:20  And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the

children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that

the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the

children of Israel unto them.


NU-8:21  And the Levites were purified, and they washed their

clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD;

 and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.


NU-8:22  And after that went the Levites in to do their service

in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before

his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites,

 so did they unto them.


NU-8:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-8:24  This [is it] that [belongeth] unto the Levites: from

twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait

upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:


NU-8:25  And from the age of fifty years they shall cease

waiting upon the service [thereof], and shall serve no more:


NU-8:26  But shall minister with their brethren in the

tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do

no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their

charge.


*NU-9:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of

Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were

come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


NU-9:2  Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his

appointed season.


NU-9:3  In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall

keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of

it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep

it.


NU-9:4  And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they

should keep the passover.


NU-9:5  And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the

first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all

that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.


NU-9:6  And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead

body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day:

 and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:


NU-9:7  And those men said unto him, We [are] defiled by the

dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not

offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the

children of Israel?


NU-9:8  And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear

what the LORD will command concerning you.


NU-9:9  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-9:10  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man

of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead

body, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the

passover unto the LORD.


NU-9:11  The fourteenth day of the second month at even they

shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter

[herbs].


NU-9:12  They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break

any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover

they shall keep it.


NU-9:13  But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey,

and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be

cut off from among his people: because he brought not the

offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall

bear his sin.


NU-9:14  And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will

keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of

the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he

do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for

him that was born in the land.


NU-9:15  And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the

cloud covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the

testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were

the appearance of fire, until the morning.


NU-9:16  So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by day], and the

appearance of fire by night.


NU-9:17  And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle,

then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the

place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel

pitched their tents.


NU-9:18  At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel

journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as

long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their

tents.


NU-9:19  And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle

many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the

LORD, and journeyed not.


NU-9:20  And [so] it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the

tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode

in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD

they journeyed.


NU-9:21  And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from even unto

the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning,

then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that

the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.


NU-9:22  Or [whether it were] two days, or a month, or a year,

that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon,

the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not:

but when it was taken up, they journeyed.


NU-9:23  At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents,

 and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept

the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the

hand of Moses.


*NU-10:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-10:2  Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece

shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling

of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.


NU-10:3  And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly

shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation.


NU-10:4  And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the

princes, [which are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall

gather themselves unto thee.


NU-10:5  When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the

east parts shall go forward.


NU-10:6  When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps

that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall

blow an alarm for their journeys.


NU-10:7  But when the congregation is to be gathered together,

ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.


NU-10:8  And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the

trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever

throughout your generations.


NU-10:9  And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that

oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;

and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye

shall be saved from your enemies.


NU-10:10  Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn

days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with

the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices

of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial

before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.


NU-10:11  And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the

second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up

from off the tabernacle of the testimony.


NU-10:12  And the children of Israel took their journeys out of

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

of Paran.


NU-10:13  And they first took their journey according to the

commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.


NU-10:14  In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of

the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his

host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.


NU-10:15  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.


NU-10:16  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of Helon.


NU-10:17  And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of

Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the

tabernacle.


NU-10:18  And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward

according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the

son of Shedeur.


NU-10:19  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Simeon [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.


NU-10:20  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad

[was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel.


NU-10:21  And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:

and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.


NU-10:22  And the standard of the camp of the children of

Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host

[was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.


NU-10:23  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.


NU-10:24  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.


NU-10:25  And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan

set forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps

throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son

of Ammishaddai.


NU-10:26  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.


NU-10:27  And over the host of the tribe of the children of

Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan.


NU-10:28  Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel

according to their armies, when they set forward.


NU-10:29  And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the

Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the

place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with

us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good

concerning Israel.


NU-10:30  And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart

to mine own land, and to my kindred.


NU-10:31  And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as

thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou

mayest be to us instead of eyes.


NU-10:32  And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be,

that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we

do unto thee.


NU-10:33  And they departed from the mount of the LORD three

days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went

before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting

place for them.


NU-10:34  And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when

they went out of the camp.


NU-10:35  And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that

Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered;

and let them that hate thee flee before thee.


NU-10:36  And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the

many thousands of Israel.


*NU-11:1  And [when] the people complained, it displeased the

LORD: and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and

the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that

were] in the uttermost parts of the camp.


NU-11:2  And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed

unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.


NU-11:3  And he called the name of the place Taberah: because

the fire of the LORD burnt among them.


NU-11:4  And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell a

lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said,

Who shall give us flesh to eat?


NU-11:5  We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;

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

and the garlic:


NU-11:6  But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at

all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes.


NU-11:7  And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour

thereof as the colour of bdellium.


NU-11:8  [And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and

ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it]

in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the

taste of fresh oil.


NU-11:9  And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the

manna fell upon it.


NU-11:10  Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their

families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of

the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.


NU-11:11  And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou

afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in

thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon

me?


NU-11:12  Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them,

 that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a

nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which

thou swarest unto their fathers?


NU-11:13  Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this

people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we

may eat.


NU-11:14  I am not able to bear all this people alone, because

[it is] too heavy for me.


NU-11:15  And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee,

out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not

see my wretchedness.


NU-11:16  And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy

men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders

of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the

tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with

thee.


NU-11:17  And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I

will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it]

upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with

thee, that thou bear [it] not thyself alone.


NU-11:18  And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves

against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in

the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give

you flesh, and ye shall eat.


NU-11:19  Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,

neither ten days, nor twenty days;


NU-11:20  [But] even a whole month, until it come out at your

nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have

despised the LORD which [is] among you, and have wept before him,

 saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?


NU-11:21  And Moses said, The people, among whom I [am], [are]

six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give

them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.


NU-11:22  Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to

suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered

together for them, to suffice them?


NU-11:23  And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed

short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass

unto thee or not.


NU-11:24  And Moses went out, and told the people the words of

the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the

people, and set them round about the tabernacle.


NU-11:25  And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him,

and took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] unto

the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that], when the spirit

rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.


NU-11:26  But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the

name of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad:

and the spirit rested upon them; and they [were] of them that

were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they

prophesied in the camp.


NU-11:27  And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said,

Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.


NU-11:28  And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one]

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


NU-11:29  And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake?

would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that

the LORD would put his spirit upon them!


NU-11:30  And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of

Israel.


NU-11:31  And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought

quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were

a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on

the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits

[high] upon the face of the earth.


NU-11:32  And the people stood up all that day, and all [that]

night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he

that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them]

all abroad for themselves round about the camp.


NU-11:33  And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere

it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the

people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.


NU-11:34  And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:

because there they buried the people that lusted.


NU-11:35  [And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto

Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.


*NU-12:1  And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of

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

Ethiopian woman.


NU-12:2  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by

Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].


NU-12:3  (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men

which [were] upon the face of the earth.)


NU-12:4  And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron,

and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the

congregation. And they three came out.


NU-12:5  And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and

stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and

Miriam: and they both came forth.


NU-12:6  And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet

among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a

vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.


NU-12:7  My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all

mine house.


NU-12:8  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently,

and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall

he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my

servant Moses?


NU-12:9  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and

he departed.


NU-12:10  And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and,

behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron

looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.


NU-12:11  And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech

thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly,

and wherein we have sinned.


NU-12:12  Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half

consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.


NU-12:13  And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O

God, I beseech thee.


NU-12:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but

spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her

be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be

received in [again].


NU-12:15  And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and

the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].


NU-12:16  And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and

pitched in the wilderness of Paran.


*NU-13:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-13:2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan,

which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of

their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.


NU-13:3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from

the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the

children of Israel.


NU-13:4  And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben,

Shammua the son of Zaccur.


NU-13:5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.


NU-13:6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.


NU-13:7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.


NU-13:8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.


NU-13:9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.


NU-13:10  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.


NU-13:11  Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of

Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.


NU-13:12  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.


NU-13:13  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.


NU-13:14  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.


NU-13:15  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.


NU-13:16  These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to

spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.


NU-13:17  And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and

said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into

the mountain:


NU-13:18  And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that

dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;


NU-13:19  And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it

[be] good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in,

whether in tents, or in strong holds;


NU-13:20  And what the land [is], whether it [be] fat or lean,

whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage,

 and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time

of the firstripe grapes.


NU-13:21  So they went up, and searched the land from the

wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.


NU-13:22  And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron;

where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were].

(Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


NU-13:23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down

from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare

it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the

pomegranates, and of the figs.


NU-13:24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the

cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from

thence.


NU-13:25  And they returned from searching of the land after

forty days.


NU-13:26  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to

all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the

wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them,

and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the

land.


NU-13:27  And they told him, and said, We came unto the land

whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and

honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.


NU-13:28  Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the

land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and

moreover we saw the children of Anak there.


NU-13:29  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the

Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the

mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast

of Jordan.


NU-13:30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,

Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to

overcome it.


NU-13:31  But the men that went up with him said, We be not able

to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.


NU-13:32  And they brought up an evil report of the land which

they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land,

through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth

up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it

[are] men of a great stature.


NU-13:33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which

come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as

grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.


*NU-14:1  And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and

cried; and the people wept that night.


NU-14:2  And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses

and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,

Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we

had died in this wilderness!


NU-14:3  And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land,

to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be

a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?


NU-14:4  And they said one to another, Let us make a captain,

and let us return into Egypt.


NU-14:5  Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the

assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.


NU-14:6  And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of

Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, rent

their clothes:


NU-14:7  And they spake unto all the company of the children of

Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it,

[is] an exceeding good land.


NU-14:8  If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into

this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and

honey.


NU-14:9  Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the

people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence

is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.


NU-14:10  But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.

And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the

congregation before all the children of Israel.


NU-14:11  And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this

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

for all the signs which I have showed among them?


NU-14:12  I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit

them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than

they.


NU-14:13  And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall

hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from

among them;)


NU-14:14  And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this

land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this

people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy

cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by

day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by

night.


NU-14:15  Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man,

then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak,

saying,


NU-14:16  Because the LORD was not able to bring this people

into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain

them in the wilderness.


NU-14:17  And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be

great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,


NU-14:18  The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy,

forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing

[the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth [generation].


NU-14:19  Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people

according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast

forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.


NU-14:20  And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy

word:


NU-14:21  But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be

filled with the glory of the LORD.


NU-14:22  Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my

miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have

tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my

voice;


NU-14:23  Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto

their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:


NU-14:24  But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit

with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the

land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.


NU-14:25  (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the

valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by

the way of the Red sea.


NU-14:26  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-14:27  How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation,

which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the

children of Israel, which they murmur against me.


NU-14:28  Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD,

as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:


NU-14:29  Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all

that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from

twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,


NU-14:30  Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,

[concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb

the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


NU-14:31  But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,

them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have

despised.


NU-14:32  But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in

this wilderness.


NU-14:33  And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty

years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in

the wilderness.


NU-14:34  After the number of the days in which ye searched the

land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your

iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of

promise.


NU-14:35  I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all

this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me:

in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall

die.


NU-14:36  And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who

returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him,

by bringing up a slander upon the land,


NU-14:37  Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon

the land, died by the plague before the LORD.


NU-14:38  But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of

Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land,

lived [still].


NU-14:39  And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of

Israel: and the people mourned greatly.


NU-14:40  And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up

into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will

go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have

sinned.


NU-14:41  And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the

commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.


NU-14:42  Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be

not smitten before your enemies.


NU-14:43  For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there

before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are

turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with

you.


NU-14:44  But they presumed to go up unto the hill top:

nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses,

departed not out of the camp.


NU-14:45  Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites

which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them,

[even] unto Hormah.


*NU-15:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-15:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give

unto you,


NU-15:3  And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a

burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a

freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet

savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:


NU-15:4  Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD

bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the

fourth [part] of an hin of oil.


NU-15:5  And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a drink

offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice,

 for one lamb.


NU-15:6  Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering

two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an hin

of oil.


NU-15:7  And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third

[part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.


NU-15:8  And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt

offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace

offerings unto the LORD:


NU-15:9  Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of

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


NU-15:10  And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin

of wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto

the LORD.


NU-15:11  Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram,

or for a lamb, or a kid.


NU-15:12  According to the number that ye shall prepare, so

shall ye do to every one according to their number.


NU-15:13  All that are born of the country shall do these things

after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a

sweet savour unto the LORD.


NU-15:14  And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be]

among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made

by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall

do.


NU-15:15  One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the

congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with

you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so

shall the stranger be before the LORD.


NU-15:16  One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the

stranger that sojourneth with you.


NU-15:17  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-15:18  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye come into the land whither I bring you,


NU-15:19  Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of

the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.


NU-15:20  Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough

[for] an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the

threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.


NU-15:21  Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD

an heave offering in your generations.


NU-15:22  And if ye have erred, and not observed all these

commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,


NU-15:23  [Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the

hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and

henceforward among your generations;


NU-15:24  Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by ignorance

without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the

congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering,

for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and

his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the

goats for a sin offering.


NU-15:25  And the priest shall make an atonement for all the

congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven

them; for it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring their offering,

 a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering

before the LORD, for their ignorance:


NU-15:26  And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the

children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them;

seeing all the people [were] in ignorance.


NU-15:27  And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall

bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.


NU-15:28  And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul

that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the

LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.


NU-15:29  Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through

ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the children of

Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.


NU-15:30  But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously,

[whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same

reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among

his people.


NU-15:31  Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and

hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off;

his iniquity [shall be] upon him.


NU-15:32  And while the children of Israel were in the

wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the

sabbath day.


NU-15:33  And they that found him gathering sticks brought him

unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.


NU-15:34  And they put him in ward, because it was not declared

what should be done to him.


NU-15:35  And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely

put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones

without the camp.


NU-15:36  And all the congregation brought him without the camp,

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

Moses.


NU-15:37  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-15:38  Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that

they make them fringes in the borders of their garments

throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe

of the borders a ribband of blue:


NU-15:39  And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may

look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and

do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own

eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:


NU-15:40  That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and

be holy unto your God.


NU-15:41  I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the

land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God.


*NU-16:1  Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the

son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On,

the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:


NU-16:2  And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the

children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the

assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:


NU-16:3  And they gathered themselves together against Moses and

against Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you,

seeing all the congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and

the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves

above the congregation of the LORD?


NU-16:4  And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:


NU-16:5  And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company,

saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show who [are] his, and

[who is] holy; and will cause [him] to come near unto him: even

[him] whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.


NU-16:6  This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;


NU-16:7  And put fire therein, and put incense in them before

the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD

doth choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye

sons of Levi.


NU-16:8  And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of

Levi:


NU-16:9  [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God

of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to

bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of

the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto

them?


NU-16:10  And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy

brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood

also?


NU-16:11  For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are]

gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye

murmur against him?


NU-16:12  And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of

Eliab: which said, We will not come up:


NU-16:13  [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out

of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the

wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?


NU-16:14  Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that

floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields

and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will

not come up.


NU-16:15  And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD,

Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from

them, neither have I hurt one of them.


NU-16:16  And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company

before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:


NU-16:17  And take every man his censer, and put incense in them,

 and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred

and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his

censer.


NU-16:18  And they took every man his censer, and put fire in

them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.


NU-16:19  And Korah gathered all the congregation against them

unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the

glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.


NU-16:20  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-16:21  Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that

I may consume them in a moment.


NU-16:22  And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the

God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt

thou be wroth with all the congregation?


NU-16:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-16:24  Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from

about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.


NU-16:25  And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and

the elders of Israel followed him.


NU-16:26  And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I

pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing

of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.


NU-16:27  So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan,

and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and

stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their

sons, and their little children.


NU-16:28  And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD

hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them]

of mine own mind.


NU-16:29  If these men die the common death of all men, or if

they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD

hath not sent me.


NU-16:30  But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open

her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto

them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall

understand that these men have provoked the LORD.


NU-16:31  And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking

all these words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under

them:


NU-16:32  And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up,

and their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah,

and all [their] goods.


NU-16:33  They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down

alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they

perished from among the congregation.


NU-16:34  And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at

the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up

[also].


NU-16:35  And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed

the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.


NU-16:36  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-16:37  Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that

he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the

fire yonder; for they are hallowed.


NU-16:38  The censers of these sinners against their own souls,

let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar:

for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are

hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.


NU-16:39  And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers,

wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made

broad [plates for] a covering of the altar:


NU-16:40  [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that

no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to

offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as

his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.


NU-16:41  But on the morrow all the congregation of the children

of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye

have killed the people of the LORD.


NU-16:42  And it came to pass, when the congregation was

gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked

toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the

cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.


NU-16:43  And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the

congregation.


NU-16:44  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-16:45  Get you up from among this congregation, that I may

consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.


NU-16:46  And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire

therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly

unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there

is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.


NU-16:47  And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the

midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun

among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement

for the people.


NU-16:48  And he stood between the dead and the living; and the

plague was stayed.


NU-16:49  Now they that died in the plague were fourteen

thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the

matter of Korah.


NU-16:50  And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.


*NU-17:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-17:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every

one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of

all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve

rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.


NU-17:3  And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi:

for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their

fathers.


NU-17:4  And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the

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


NU-17:5  And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I

shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me

the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur

against you.


NU-17:6  And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every

one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one,

according to their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the

rod of Aaron [was] among their rods.


NU-17:7  And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the

tabernacle of witness.


NU-17:8  And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into

the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the

house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed

blossoms, and yielded almonds.


NU-17:9  And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD

unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every

man his rod.


NU-17:10  And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again

before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels;

and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that

they die not.


NU-17:11  And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did

he.


NU-17:12  And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,

Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.


NU-17:13  Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of

the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?


*NU-18:1  And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and

thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the

sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the

iniquity of your priesthood.


NU-18:2  And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe

of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined

unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with

thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.


NU-18:3  And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all

the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the

sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.


NU-18:4  And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge

of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of

the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.


NU-18:5  And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the

charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the

children of Israel.


NU-18:6  And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites

from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as]

a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the

congregation.


NU-18:7  Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your

priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the

veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office

[unto you as] a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh

nigh shall be put to death.


NU-18:8  And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have

given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the

hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I

given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an

ordinance for ever.


NU-18:9  This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved]

from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of

theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass

offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be]

most holy for thee and for thy sons.


NU-18:10  In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male

shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.


NU-18:11  And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift,

with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have

given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with

thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy

house shall eat of it.


NU-18:12  All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine,

and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer

unto the LORD, them have I given thee.


NU-18:13  [And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they

shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is

clean in thine house shall eat [of] it.


NU-18:14  Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.


NU-18:15  Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh,

which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts,

 shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou

surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou

redeem.


NU-18:16  And those that are to be redeemed from a month old

shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money

of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is]

twenty gerahs.


NU-18:17  But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a

sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they

[are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and

shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet

savour unto the LORD.


NU-18:18  And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave

breast and as the right shoulder are thine.


NU-18:19  All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the

children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and

thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it

[is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and

to thy seed with thee.


NU-18:20  And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no

inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part

among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the

children of Israel.


NU-18:21  And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the

tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they

serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-18:22  Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come

nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and

die.


NU-18:23  But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle

of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it

shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that

among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.


NU-18:24  But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they

offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the

Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the

children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.


NU-18:25  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-18:26  Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When

ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given

you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an

heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the

tithe.


NU-18:27  And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto

you, as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as

the fulness of the winepress.


NU-18:28  Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the

LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of

Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to

Aaron the priest.


NU-18:29  Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave

offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the

hallowed part thereof out of it.


NU-18:30  Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have

heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto

the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the

increase of the winepress.


NU-18:31  And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your

households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the

tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-18:32  And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have

heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy

things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.


*NU-19:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,


NU-19:2  This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath

commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they

bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish,

[and] upon which never came yoke:


NU-19:3  And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he

may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her

before his face:


NU-19:4  And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his

finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle

of the congregation seven times:


NU-19:5  And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin,

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


NU-19:6  And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and

scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the

heifer.


NU-19:7  Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall

bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the

camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.


NU-19:8  And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water,

 and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the

even.


NU-19:9  And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of

the heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place,

and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of

Israel for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.


NU-19:10  And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall

wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be

unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that

sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.


NU-19:11  He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be

unclean seven days.


NU-19:12  He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and

on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not

himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be

clean.


NU-19:13  Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is

dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the

LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the

water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be

unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.


NU-19:14  This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all

that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be

unclean seven days.


NU-19:15  And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound

upon it, [is] unclean.


NU-19:16  And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword

in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a

grave, shall be unclean seven days.


NU-19:17  And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the

ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running

water shall be put thereto in a vessel:


NU-19:18  And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in

the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the

vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that

touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:


NU-19:19  And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean

on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day

he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself

in water, and shall be clean at even.


NU-19:20  But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not

purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the

congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD:

the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he

[is] unclean.


NU-19:21  And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he

that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes;

and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean

until even.


NU-19:22  And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be

unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until

even.


*NU-20:1  Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole

congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the

people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried

there.


NU-20:2  And there was no water for the congregation: and they

gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


NU-20:3  And the people chided with Moses, and spake, saying,

Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the

LORD!


NU-20:4  And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD

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


NU-20:5  And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt,

to bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no place of seed,

or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there

any water to drink.


NU-20:6  And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the

assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD

appeared unto them.


NU-20:7  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-20:8  Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together,

thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before

their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt

bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give

the congregation and their beasts drink.


NU-20:9  And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he

commanded him.


NU-20:10  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together

before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels;

must we fetch you water out of this rock?


NU-20:11  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he

smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the

congregation drank, and their beasts [also].


NU-20:12  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye

believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of

Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the

land which I have given them.


NU-20:13  This [is] the water of Meribah, because the children

of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.


NU-20:14  And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of

Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the

travail that hath befallen us:


NU-20:15  How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have

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

fathers:


NU-20:16  And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice,

and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and,

behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy

border:


NU-20:17  Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will

not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither

will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the

king's [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the

left, until we have passed thy borders.


NU-20:18  And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me,

lest I come out against thee with the sword.


NU-20:19  And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go

by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then

I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else],

 go through on my feet.


NU-20:20  And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came

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


NU-20:21  Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his

border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.


NU-20:22  And the children of Israel, [even] the whole

congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.


NU-20:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor,

by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,


NU-20:24  Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall

not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of

Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of

Meribah.


NU-20:25  Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto

mount Hor:


NU-20:26  And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon

Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people],

and shall die there.


NU-20:27  And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up

into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.


NU-20:28  And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them

upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the

mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.


NU-20:29  And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead,

they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of

Israel.


*NU-21:1  And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the

south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then

he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.


NU-21:2  And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou

wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will

utterly destroy their cities.


NU-21:3  And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and

delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and

their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.


NU-21:4  And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red

sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was

much discouraged because of the way.


NU-21:5  And the people spake against God, and against Moses,

Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the

wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any]

water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.


NU-21:6  And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and

they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.


NU-21:7  Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have

sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee;

pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And

Moses prayed for the people.


NU-21:8  And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,

 and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every

one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.


NU-21:9  And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a

pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man,

when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.


NU-21:10  And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in

Oboth.


NU-21:11  And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at

Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the

sunrising.


NU-21:12  From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of

Zared.


NU-21:13  From thence they removed, and pitched on the other

side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of

the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab,

between Moab and the Amorites.


NU-21:14  Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the

LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,


NU-21:15  And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the

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


NU-21:16  And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the

well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people

together, and I will give them water.


NU-21:17  Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye

unto it:


NU-21:18  The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people

digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves.

 And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:


NU-21:19  And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to

Bamoth:


NU-21:20  And from Bamoth [in] the valley that [is] in the

country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward

Jeshimon.


NU-21:21  And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the

Amorites, saying,


NU-21:22  Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into

the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the

waters of the well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high]

way, until we be past thy borders.


NU-21:23  And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his

border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out

against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and

fought against Israel.


NU-21:24  And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and

possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the

children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was]

strong.


NU-21:25  And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in

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

villages thereof.


NU-21:26  For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the

Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and

taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.


NU-21:27  Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into

Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:


NU-21:28  For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from

the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords

of the high places of Arnon.


NU-21:29  Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of

Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters,

into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.


NU-21:30  We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto

Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which

[reacheth] unto Medeba.


NU-21:31  Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.


NU-21:32  And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the

villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.


NU-21:33  And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and

Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his

people, to the battle at Edrei.


NU-21:34  And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have

delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land;

and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the

Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.


NU-21:35  So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people,

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


*NU-22:1  And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in

the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.


NU-22:2  And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had

done to the Amorites.


NU-22:3  And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they

[were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of

Israel.


NU-22:4  And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this

company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh

up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was]

king of the Moabites at that time.


NU-22:5  He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of

Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the

children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a

people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the

earth, and they abide over against me:


NU-22:6  Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people;

for they [are] too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail,

[that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the

land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he

whom thou cursest is cursed.


NU-22:7  And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian

departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they

came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.


NU-22:8  And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I

will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and

the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.


NU-22:9  And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are]

these with thee?


NU-22:10  And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor,

king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying],


NU-22:11  Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which

covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them;

peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them

out.


NU-22:12  And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them;

thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.


NU-22:13  And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the

princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth

to give me leave to go with you.


NU-22:14  And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto

Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.


NU-22:15  And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more

honourable than they.


NU-22:16  And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith

Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee

from coming unto me:


NU-22:17  For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I

will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray

thee, curse me this people.


NU-22:18  And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of

Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold,

I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or

more.


NU-22:19  Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this

night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.


NU-22:20  And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him,

If the men come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but

yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.


NU-22:21  And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass,

 and went with the princes of Moab.


NU-22:22  And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the

angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him.

Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with

him.


NU-22:23  And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the

way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside

out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the

ass, to turn her into the way.


NU-22:24  But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the

vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side.


NU-22:25  And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust

herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the

wall: and he smote her again.


NU-22:26  And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a

narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right

hand or to the left.


NU-22:27  And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell

down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote

the ass with a staff.


NU-22:28  And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said

unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten

me these three times?


NU-22:29  And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked

me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I

kill thee.


NU-22:30  And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass,

upon which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this

day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.


NU-22:31  Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw

the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn

in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his

face.


NU-22:32  And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore

hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went

out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:


NU-22:33  And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three

times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had

slain thee, and saved her alive.


NU-22:34  And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have

sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me:

now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.


NU-22:35  And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with

the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that

thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.


NU-22:36  And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out

to meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of

Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast.


NU-22:37  And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send

unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I

not able indeed to promote thee to honour?


NU-22:38  And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee:

have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God

putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.


NU-22:39  And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto

Kirjathhuzoth.


NU-22:40  And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam,

and to the princes that [were] with him.


NU-22:41  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took

Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that

thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.


*NU-23:1  And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars,

 and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.


NU-23:2  And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and

Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.


NU-23:3  And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering,

 and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and

whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an

high place.


NU-23:4  And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have

prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a

bullock and a ram.


NU-23:5  And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,

Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.


NU-23:6  And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his

burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.


NU-23:7  And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of

Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,

 [saying], Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.


NU-23:8  How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how

shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?


NU-23:9  For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the

hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall

not be reckoned among the nations.


NU-23:10  Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the

fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous,

and let my last end be like his!


NU-23:11  And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto

me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast

blessed [them] altogether.


NU-23:12  And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to

speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?


NU-23:13  And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me

unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt

see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and

curse me them from thence.


NU-23:14  And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the

top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and

a ram on [every] altar.


NU-23:15  And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt

offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder.


NU-23:16  And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth,

and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.


NU-23:17  And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt

offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto

him, What hath the LORD spoken?


NU-23:18  And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak,

and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:


NU-23:19  God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the

son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he

not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?


NU-23:20  Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he

hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.


NU-23:21  He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he

seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and

the shout of a king [is] among them.


NU-23:22  God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the

strength of an unicorn.


NU-23:23  Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob,

neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to

this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God

wrought!


NU-23:24  Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and

lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he

eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.


NU-23:25  And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all,

nor bless them at all.


NU-23:26  But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I

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


NU-23:27  And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will

bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God

that thou mayest curse me them from thence.


NU-23:28  And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that

looketh toward Jeshimon.


NU-23:29  And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars,

 and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.


NU-23:30  And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a

bullock and a ram on [every] altar.


*NU-24:1  And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless

Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments,

 but he set his face toward the wilderness.


NU-24:2  And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel

abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit

of God came upon him.


NU-24:3  And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of

Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:


NU-24:4  He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw

the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having

his eyes open:


NU-24:5  How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy

tabernacles, O Israel!


NU-24:6  As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the

river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath

planted, [and] as cedar trees beside the waters.


NU-24:7  He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his

seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher

than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.


NU-24:8  God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were

the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his

enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through

with his arrows.


NU-24:9  He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion:

who shall stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and

cursed [is] he that curseth thee.


NU-24:10  And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he

smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called

thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether

blessed [them] these three times.


NU-24:11  Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to

promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee

back from honour.


NU-24:12  And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy

messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,


NU-24:13  If Balak would give me his house full of silver and

gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do

[either] good or bad of mine own mind; [but] what the LORD saith,

 that will I speak?


NU-24:14  And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore,

and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy

people in the latter days.


NU-24:15  And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son

of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:


NU-24:16  He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew

the knowledge of the most High, [which] saw the vision of the

Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:


NU-24:17  I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but

not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre

shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,

and destroy all the children of Sheth.


NU-24:18  And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a

possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.


NU-24:19  Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,

and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.


NU-24:20  And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable,

and said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter

end [shall be] that he perish for ever.


NU-24:21  And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable,

and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest

in a rock.


NU-24:22  Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur

shall carry thee away captive.


NU-24:23  And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall

live when God doeth this!


NU-24:24  And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and

shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall

perish for ever.


NU-24:25  And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place:

 and Balak also went his way.


*NU-25:1  And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to

commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.


NU-25:2  And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their

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


NU-25:3  And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger

of the LORD was kindled against Israel.


NU-25:4  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the

people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that

the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.


NU-25:5  And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every

one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.


NU-25:6  And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and

brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of

Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children

of Israel, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation.


NU-25:7  And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron

the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation,

and took a javelin in his hand;


NU-25:8  And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and

thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman

through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of

Israel.


NU-25:9  And those that died in the plague were twenty and four

thousand.


NU-25:10  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-25:11  Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the

priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel,

while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not

the children of Israel in my jealousy.


NU-25:12  Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of

peace:


NU-25:13  And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even]

the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was

zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of

Israel.


NU-25:14  Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even]

that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son

of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.


NU-25:15  And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain

[was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people,

[and] of a chief house in Midian.


NU-25:16  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-25:17  Vex the Midianites, and smite them:


NU-25:18  For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have

beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi,

the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was

slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.


*NU-26:1  And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD

spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,

saying,


NU-26:2  Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of

Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their

fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.


NU-26:3  And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the

NU-26:52  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-26:53  Unto these the land shall be divided for an

inheritance according to the number of names.


NU-26:54  To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to

few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his

inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of

him.


NU-26:55  Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot:

according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall

inherit.


NU-26:56  According to the lot shall the possession thereof be

divided between many and few.

NU-26:61  And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange

fire before the LORD.


NU-26:62  And those that were numbered of them were twenty and

three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they

were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there

was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.


NU-26:63  These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and

Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the

plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


NU-26:64  But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses

and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children

of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.


NU-26:65  For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die

in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save

Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


*NU-27:1  Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of

Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of

Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and

these [are] the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah,

 and Milcah, and Tirzah.


NU-27:2  And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the

priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, [by]

the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,


NU-27:3  Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in

the company of them that gathered themselves together against

the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and

had no sons.


NU-27:4  Why should the name of our father be done away from

among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us

[therefore] a possession among the brethren of our father.


NU-27:5  And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.


NU-27:6  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-27:7  The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt

surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their

father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their

father to pass unto them.


NU-27:8  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,

saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his

inheritance to pass unto his daughter.


NU-27:9  And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his

inheritance unto his brethren.


NU-27:10  And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his

inheritance unto his father's brethren.


NU-27:11  And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give

his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his

family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the

children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded

Moses.


NU-27:12  And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this

mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the

children of Israel.


NU-27:13  And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be

gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.


NU-27:14  For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert

of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the

water before their eyes: that [is] the water of Meribah in

Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.


NU-27:15  And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,


NU-27:16  Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set

a man over the congregation,


NU-27:17  Which may go out before them, and which may go in

before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring

them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which

have no shepherd.


NU-27:18  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son

of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon

him;


NU-27:19  And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all

the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.


NU-27:20  And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour upon him,

that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be

obedient.


NU-27:21  And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who

shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before

the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they

shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with

him, even all the congregation.


NU-27:22  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took

Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all

the congregation:


NU-27:23  And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge,

as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.


*NU-28:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-28:2  Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My

offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a

sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their

due season.


NU-28:3  And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering

made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of

the first year without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt

offering.


NU-28:4  The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the

other lamb shalt thou offer at even;


NU-28:5  And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat

offering, mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil.


NU-28:6  [It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained

in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto

the LORD.


NU-28:7  And the drink offering thereof [shall be] the fourth

[part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt

thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD [for] a

drink offering.


NU-28:8  And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the

meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof,

thou shalt offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet

savour unto the LORD.


NU-28:9  And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year

without spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering,

 mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:


NU-28:10  [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside

the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.


NU-28:11  And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a

burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram,

seven lambs of the first year without spot;


NU-28:12  And three tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering,

mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour

[for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;


NU-28:13  And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil

[for] a meat offering unto one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a

sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.


NU-28:14  And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine

unto a bullock, and the third [part] of an hin unto a ram, and a

fourth [part] of an hin unto a lamb: this [is] the burnt

offering of every month throughout the months of the year.


NU-28:15  And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the

LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and

his drink offering.


NU-28:16  And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the

passover of the LORD.


NU-28:17  And in the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast:

seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.


NU-28:18  In the first day [shall be] an holy convocation; ye

shall do no manner of servile work [therein]:


NU-28:19  But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire [for] a

burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram,

and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you

without blemish:


NU-28:20  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled

with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and

two tenth deals for a ram;


NU-28:21  A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb,

throughout the seven lambs:


NU-28:22  And one goat [for] a sin offering, to make an

atonement for you.


NU-28:23  Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the

morning, which [is] for a continual burnt offering.


NU-28:24  After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the

seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet

savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual

burnt offering, and his drink offering.


NU-28:25  And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy

convocation; ye shall do no servile work.


NU-28:26  Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a

blemish) and their drink offerings.

work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.


NU-29:2  And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour

unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of

the first year without blemish:


NU-29:3  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled

an atonement for you:


NU-29:6  Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat

offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering,

and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a

sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.


NU-29:7  And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh

month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye

shall not do any work [therein]:


NU-29:8  But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD [for]

a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of

the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:


NU-29:9  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled

NU-29:39  These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set

feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your

burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink

offerings, and for your peace offerings.


NU-29:40  And Moses told the children of Israel according to all

that the LORD commanded Moses.


*NU-30:1  And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes

concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing

which the LORD hath commanded.


NU-30:2  If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to

bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall

do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.


NU-30:3  If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind

[herself] by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;


NU-30:4  And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she

hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her:

then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath

bound her soul shall stand.


NU-30:5  But if her father disallow her in the day that he

heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath

bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her,

because her father disallowed her.


NU-30:6  And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or

uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;


NU-30:7  And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her

in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and

her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.


NU-30:8  But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he

heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that

which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul,

of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.


NU-30:9  But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,

wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.


NU-30:10  And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her

soul by a bond with an oath;


NU-30:11  And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her,

[and] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and

every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.


NU-30:12  But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the

day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips

concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall

not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall

forgive her.


NU-30:13  Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul,

her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.


NU-30:14  But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her

from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her

bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held

his peace at her in the day that he heard [them].


NU-30:15  But if he shall any ways make them void after that he

hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.


NU-30:16  These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded

Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his

daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house.


*NU-31:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-31:2  Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:

afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.


NU-31:3  And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of

yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites,

and avenge the LORD of Midian.


NU-31:4  Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of

Israel, shall ye send to the war.


NU-31:5  So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel,

a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.


NU-31:6  And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every]

tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the

war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his

hand.


NU-31:7  And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD

commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.


NU-31:8  And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of

them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur,

 and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor

they slew with the sword.


NU-31:9  And the children of Israel took [all] the women of

Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of

all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.


NU-31:10  And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt,

and all their goodly castles, with fire.


NU-31:11  And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both]

of men and of beasts.


NU-31:12  And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the

spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the

congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the

plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.


NU-31:13  And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes

of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.


NU-31:14  And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,

[with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds,

which came from the battle.


NU-31:15  And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women

alive?


NU-31:16  Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through

the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in

the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the

congregation of the LORD.


NU-31:17  Now therefore kill every male among the little ones,

and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.


NU-31:18  But all the women children, that have not known a man

by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.


NU-31:19  And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever

hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,

purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and

on the seventh day.


NU-31:20  And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of

skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of

wood.


NU-31:21  And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which

went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the

LORD commanded Moses;


NU-31:22  Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,

the tin, and the lead,


NU-31:23  Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make

[it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it

shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that

abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.


NU-31:24  And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and

ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.


NU-31:25  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-31:26  Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man

and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief

fathers of the congregation:


NU-31:27  And divide the prey into two parts; between them that

took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all

the congregation:


NU-31:28  And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war

which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of

the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the

sheep:


NU-31:29  Take [it] of their half, and give [it] unto Eleazar

the priest, [for] an heave offering of the LORD.


NU-31:30  And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take

one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the

asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them

unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the

LORD.


NU-31:31  And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD

commanded Moses.


NU-31:32  And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the

men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy

thousand and five thousand sheep,


NU-31:33  And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,


NU-31:34  And threescore and one thousand asses,


NU-31:35  And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women

that had not known man by lying with him.


NU-31:36  And the half, [which was] the portion of them that

went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven

and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:


NU-31:37  And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred

and threescore and fifteen.


NU-31:38  And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of

which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and twelve.


NU-31:39  And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred;

of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one.


NU-31:40  And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the

LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons.


NU-31:41  And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S

heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded

Moses.


NU-31:42  And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses

divided from the men that warred,


NU-31:43  (Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation

was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven

thousand and five hundred sheep,


NU-31:44  And thirty and six thousand beeves,


NU-31:45  And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,


NU-31:46  And sixteen thousand persons;)


NU-31:47  Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one

portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto

the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD;

 as the LORD commanded Moses.


NU-31:48  And the officers which [were] over thousands of the

host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came

near unto Moses:


NU-31:49  And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the

sum of the men of war which [are] under our charge, and there

lacketh not one man of us.


NU-31:50  We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD,

what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and

bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement

for our souls before the LORD.


NU-31:51  And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,

 [even] all wrought jewels.


NU-31:52  And all the gold of the offering that they offered up

to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains

of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty

shekels.


NU-31:53  ([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for

himself.)


NU-31:54  And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the

captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the

tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the

children of Israel before the LORD.


*NU-32:1  Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had

a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of

Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a

place for cattle;


NU-32:2  The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and

spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the

princes of the congregation, saying,


NU-32:3  Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon,

and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,


NU-32:4  [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the

congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants

have cattle:


NU-32:5  Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy

sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession,

 [and] bring us not over Jordan.


NU-32:6  And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the

children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye

sit here?


NU-32:7  And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children

of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath

given them?


NU-32:8  Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from

Kadeshbarnea to see the land.


NU-32:9  For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and

saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of

Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had

given them.


NU-32:10  And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he

sware, saying,


NU-32:11  Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from

twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware

unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not

wholly followed me:


NU-32:12  Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and

Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.


NU-32:13  And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and

he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the

generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was

consumed.


NU-32:14  And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead,

an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of

the LORD toward Israel.


NU-32:15  For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again

leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this

people.


NU-32:16  And they came near unto him, and said, We will build

sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:


NU-32:17  But we ourselves will go ready armed before the

children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place:

and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of

the inhabitants of the land.


NU-32:18  We will not return unto our houses, until the children

of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.


NU-32:19  For we will not inherit with them on yonder side

Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on

this side Jordan eastward.


NU-32:20  And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if

ye will go armed before the LORD to war,


NU-32:21  And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the

LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,


NU-32:22  And the land be subdued before the LORD: then

afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and

before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the

LORD.


NU-32:23  But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned

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


NU-32:24  Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for

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


NU-32:25  And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord

commandeth.


NU-32:26  Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our

cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:


NU-32:27  But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for

war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.


NU-32:28  So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest,

and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes

of the children of Israel:


NU-32:29  And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and

the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man

armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued

before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a

possession:


NU-32:30  But if they will not pass over with you armed, they

shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.


NU-32:31  And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so

will we do.


NU-32:32  We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land

of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side

Jordan [may be] ours.


NU-32:33  And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of

Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of

Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the

Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with

the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the cities of the

country round about.


NU-32:34  And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and

Aroer,


NU-32:35  And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,


NU-32:36  And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and

folds for sheep.


NU-32:37  And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh,

and Kirjathaim,


NU-32:38  And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,)

and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they

builded.


NU-32:39  And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to

Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in

it.


NU-32:40  And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh;

and he dwelt therein.


NU-32:41  And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small

towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.


NU-32:42  And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages

thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.


*NU-33:1  These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel,

which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies

under the hand of Moses and Aaron.


NU-33:2  And Moses wrote their goings out according to their

journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their

journeys according to their goings out.


NU-33:3  And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on

the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the

passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in

the sight of all the Egyptians.


NU-33:4  For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which

the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD

executed judgments.


NU-33:5  And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and

pitched in Succoth.


NU-33:6  And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,

which [is] in the edge of the wilderness.


NU-33:7  And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto

Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched

before Migdol.


NU-33:8  And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed

through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three

days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.


NU-33:9  And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in

Elim [were] twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten

palm trees; and they pitched there.


NU-33:10  And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red

sea.


NU-33:11  And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the

wilderness of Sin.


NU-33:12  And they took their journey out of the wilderness of

Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.


NU-33:13  And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.


NU-33:14  And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim,

where was no water for the people to drink.


NU-33:15  And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the

wilderness of Sinai.


NU-33:16  And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched

at Kibrothhattaavah.


NU-33:17  And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped

at Hazeroth.


NU-33:18  And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in

Rithmah.


NU-33:19  And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at

Rimmonparez.


NU-33:20  And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in

Libnah.


NU-33:21  And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.


NU-33:22  And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in

Kehelathah.


NU-33:23  And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount

Shapher.


NU-33:24  And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in

Haradah.


NU-33:25  And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in

Makheloth.


NU-33:26  And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at

Tahath.


NU-33:27  And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.


NU-33:28  And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.


NU-33:29  And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.


NU-33:30  And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at

Moseroth.


NU-33:31  And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in

Benejaakan.


NU-33:32  And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at

Horhagidgad.


NU-33:33  And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in

Jotbathah.


NU-33:34  And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at

Ebronah.


NU-33:35  And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at

Eziongaber.


NU-33:36  And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the

wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh.


NU-33:37  And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor,

 in the edge of the land of Edom.


NU-33:38  And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the

commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year

after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt,

in the first [day] of the fifth month.


NU-33:39  And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three years

old when he died in mount Hor.


NU-33:40  And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south

in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of

Israel.


NU-33:41  And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in

Zalmonah.


NU-33:42  And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.


NU-33:43  And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.


NU-33:44  And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim,

 in the border of Moab.


NU-33:45  And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.


NU-33:46  And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in

Almondiblathaim.


NU-33:47  And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in

the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.


NU-33:48  And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and

pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


NU-33:49  And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth [even]

unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.


NU-33:50  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by

Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,


NU-33:51  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;


NU-33:52  Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the

land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and

destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their

high places:


NU-33:53  And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants of] the land,

and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.


NU-33:54  And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance

among your families: [and] to the more ye shall give the more

inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance:

 every man's [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot

falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall

inherit.


NU-33:55  But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the

land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those

which ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes, and

thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye

dwell.


NU-33:56  Moreover it shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto

you, as I thought to do unto them.


*NU-34:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-34:2  Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When

ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall

fall unto you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with

the coasts thereof:)


NU-34:3  Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of

Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be

the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:


NU-34:4  And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent

of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof

shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to

Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:


NU-34:5  And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto

the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.


NU-34:6  And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the

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


NU-34:7  And this shall be your north border: from the great sea

ye shall point out for you mount Hor:


NU-34:8  From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto

the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall

be to Zedad:


NU-34:9  And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings

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


NU-34:10  And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan

to Shepham:


NU-34:11  And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on

the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall

reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:


NU-34:12  And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings

out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with

the coasts thereof round about.


NU-34:13  And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying,

This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD

commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:


NU-34:14  For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to

the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad

according to the house of their fathers, have received [their

inheritance]; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their

inheritance:


NU-34:15  The two tribes and the half tribe have received their

inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward

the sunrising.


NU-34:16  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-34:17  These [are] the names of the men which shall divide

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


NU-34:18  And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide

the land by inheritance.


NU-34:19  And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of

Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.


NU-34:20  And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel

the son of Ammihud.


NU-34:21  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.


NU-34:22  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan,

Bukki the son of Jogli.


NU-34:23  The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of

the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.


NU-34:24  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim,

 Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.


NU-34:25  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,

 Elizaphan the son of Parnach.


NU-34:26  And the prince of the tribe of the children of

Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.


NU-34:27  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher,

Ahihud the son of Shelomi.


NU-34:28  And the prince of the tribe of the children of

Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.


NU-34:29  These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the

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


*NU-35:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by

Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,


NU-35:2  Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the

Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell

in; and ye shall give [also] unto the Levites suburbs for the

cities round about them.


NU-35:3  And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the

suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods,

and for all their beasts.


NU-35:4  And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto

the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward

a thousand cubits round about.


NU-35:5  And ye shall measure from without the city on the east

side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand

cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the

north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the

midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.


NU-35:6  And among the cities which ye shall give unto the

Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall

appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them

ye shall add forty and two cities.


NU-35:7  [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites

[shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with

their suburbs.


NU-35:8  And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the

possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many

ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give

few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites

according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.


NU-35:9  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NU-35:10  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;


NU-35:11  Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of

refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth

any person at unawares.


NU-35:12  And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the

avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the

congregation in judgment.


NU-35:13  And of these cities which ye shall give six cities

shall ye have for refuge.


NU-35:14  Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and

three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall

be cities of refuge.


NU-35:15  These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the

children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner

among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may

flee thither.


NU-35:16  And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so

that he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be

put to death.


NU-35:17  And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith

he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall

surely be put to death.


NU-35:18  Or [if] he smite him with an hand weapon of wood,

wherewith he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the

murderer shall surely be put to death.


NU-35:19  The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:

when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.


NU-35:20  But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by

laying of wait, that he die;


NU-35:21  Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he

that smote [him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a

murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he

meeteth him.


NU-35:22  But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have

cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,


NU-35:23  Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing

[him] not, and cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not

his enemy, neither sought his harm:


NU-35:24  Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer

and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:


NU-35:25  And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of

the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall

restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and

he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which

was anointed with the holy oil.


NU-35:26  But if the slayer shall at any time come without the

border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;


NU-35:27  And the revenger of blood find him without the borders

of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the

slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:


NU-35:28  Because he should have remained in the city of his

refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death

of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his

possession.


NU-35:29  So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment

unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


NU-35:30  Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to

death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not

testify against any person [to cause him] to die.


NU-35:31  Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of

a murderer, which [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely

put to death.


NU-35:32  And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled

to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in

the land, until the death of the priest.


NU-35:33  So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are]: for

blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of

the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that

shed it.


NU-35:34  Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit,

wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of

Israel.


*NU-36:1  And the chief fathers of the families of the children

of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the

families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before

Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children

of Israel:


NU-36:2  And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the

land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my

lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of

Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.


NU-36:3  And if they be married to any of the sons of the

[other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their

inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and

shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are

received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.


NU-36:4  And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be,

 then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the

tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be

taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.


NU-36:5  And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to

the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph

hath said well.


NU-36:6  This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command

concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry

to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of

their father shall they marry.


NU-36:7  So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel

remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of

Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his

fathers.


NU-36:8  And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in

any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of

the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of

Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.


NU-36:9  Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe

to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of

Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.


NU-36:10  Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters

of Zelophehad:


NU-36:11  For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,

the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's

brothers' sons:


NU-36:12  [And] they were married into the families of the sons

of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in

the tribe of the family of their father.


NU-36:13  These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which

the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of

Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
