1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel:
1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and
over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that
belong
to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they
shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down:
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own
camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that

Numbers Chapter 3
3:1 These also
are
the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
that
the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
3:2 And these
are
the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar.
3:3 These
are
the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he
consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire
before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron
their father.
3:5¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest,
that they may minister unto him.
3:7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation
before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
3:8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
3:9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they
are
wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their
priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
3:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel
instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of
Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13 Because all the firstborn
are
mine;
for
on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto
me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I
am
the LORD.
3:14¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
3:15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their
families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded.

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

westward.
3:24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites
shall be

3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation
shall be

door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

which
is
by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all
the service thereof.
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.
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.
3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
3:30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites
shall be
Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
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.
3:32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
shall be
chief over the chief of the Levites,
and have

3:34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward,

3:35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari

3:36 And
under
the custody and charge of the sons of Merari
shall be
the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth
thereto,
3:37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords.
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.
3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at
the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a
month old and upward,
were
twenty and two thousand.
3:40¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of
their names.
3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I
am
the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the
cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the
children of Israel.
3:42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the
children of Israel.
3:43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and
upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two
hundred and threescore and thirteen.
3:44¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of
Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites
shall be mine: I
am
the LORD.
3:46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore
and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than
the Levites;
3:47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of
the sanctuary shalt thou take
them
: (the shekel
is
twenty gerahs:)
3:48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be
redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them
that were redeemed by the Levites:
3:50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand
three hundred and threescore and five
shekels
, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
3:51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his
sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers Chapter 4
4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter
into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:4 This
shall be
the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation,
about
the most holy things:
4:5¶ And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons,
and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with
it:
4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over
it
a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal:
and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with
a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
4:9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the
light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil
vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
4:10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of
badgers' skins, and shall put
it
upon a bar.
4:11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it
with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
4:12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they
minister in the sanctuary, and put
them
in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and
shall put
them
on a bar:
4:13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple
cloth thereon:
4:14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it,
even
the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels
of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and
put to the staves of it.
4:15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary,
and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after
that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear
it
: but they shall not touch
any
holy thing, lest they die. These
things are
the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:16¶ And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertaineth
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and
the anointing oil,
and
the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein
is
, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
4:17¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the
Levites:
4:19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach
unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them
every one to his service and to his burden:
4:20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest
they die.
4:21¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
4:22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their
fathers, by their families;
4:23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number
them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:24 This
is
the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
4:25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that
is
above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation,
4:26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of
the court, which
is
by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the
instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they
serve.
4:27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the
sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye
shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
4:28 This
is
the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and their charge
shall be
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29¶ As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
families, by the house of their fathers;
4:30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou
number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:31 And this
is
the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle
of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and
the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
4:32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their 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.
4:33 This
is
the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their
service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the
son of Aaron the priest.
4:34¶ And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the
sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their
fathers,
4:35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
4:36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand
seven hundred and fifty.
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.
4:38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their
families, and by the house of their fathers,
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,
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.
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.
4:42¶ And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari,
throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
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,
4:44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three
thousand and two hundred.
4:45 These
be
those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and
Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
4:46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the
chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their
fathers,
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,
4:48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five
hundred and fourscore.
4:49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of
Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus
were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers Chapter 5
5:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper,
and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
5:3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them;
that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as
the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin
that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
5:7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall
recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth
part
thereof, and give
it
unto
him
against whom he hath trespassed.
5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto the LORD,
even
to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be
made for him.
5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which
they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth
the priest, it shall be his.
5:11¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go
aside, and commit a trespass against him,
5:13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her
husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and
there be
no witness against her, neither she be taken
with the manner
;
5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
5:15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her
offering for her, the tenth
part
of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense
thereon; for it
is
an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to
remembrance.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust
that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put
it
into the water:
5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the
woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which
is
the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water
that causeth the curse:
5:19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no
man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness
with another
instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the
curse:
5:20 But if thou hast gone aside
to another
instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with
thee beside thine husband:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the
priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among
thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
5:22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make
thy
belly to swell, and
thy
thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot
them
out with the bitter water:
5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the
curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her,
and become
bitter.
5:25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand,
and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
5:26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering,
even
the memorial thereof, and burn
it
upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass,
that
, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water
that causeth the curse shall enter into her,
and become
bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman
shall be a curse among her people.
5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and
shall conceive seed.
5:29 This
is
the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside
to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his
wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute
upon her all this law.
5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear
her iniquity.
Numbers Chapter 6
6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or
woman shall separate
themselves
to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves
unto the LORD:
6:3 He shall separate
himself
from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of
strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist
grapes, or dried.
6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the
vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon
his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth
himself
unto the LORD, he shall be holy,
and
shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6:6 All the days that he separateth
himself
unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for
his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his
God
is
upon his head.
6:8 All the days of his separation he
is
holy unto the LORD.
6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of
his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on
the seventh day shall he shave it.
6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to
the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
6:11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead,
and shall hallow his head that same day.
6:12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and
shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that
were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
6:13¶ And this
is
the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he
shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
6:14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first
year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings,
6:15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and
their drink offerings.
6:16 And the priest shall bring
them
before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
6:17 And he shall offer the ram
for
a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened
bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the
head of his separation, and put
it
in the fire which
is
under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
6:19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put
them
upon the hands of the Nazarite, after
the hair of
his separation is shaven:
6:20 And the priest shall wave them
for
a wave offering before the LORD: this
is
holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that
the Nazarite may drink wine.
6:21 This
is
the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed,
and of
his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside
that
that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do
after the law of his separation.
6:22¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless
the children of Israel, saying unto them,
6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless
them.
Numbers Chapter 7
7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle,
and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both
the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified
them;

their service:
7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according
unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

was that
they should bear upon their shoulders.
7:10¶ And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that

Numbers Chapter 8
8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven
lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
8:3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the
candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:4 And this work of the candlestick
was of
beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof,
was
beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he
made the candlestick.
8:5¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of
purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash
their clothes, and
so
make themselves clean.
8:8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering,
even
fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a
sin offering.
8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of
Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
8:11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD
for
an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of
the LORD.
8:12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and
thou shalt offer the one
for
a sin offering, and the other
for
a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
8:13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and
offer them
for
an offering unto the LORD.
8:14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel:
and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them
for
an offering.
8:16 For they
are
wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as
open every womb,
even instead of
the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
8:17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel
are
mine,
both
man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of
Israel.
8:19 And I have given the Levites
as
a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the
service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to
make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the
children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
8:20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel,
did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning
the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
8:21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron
offered them
as
an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse
them.
8:22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle
of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
8:23¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24 This
is it
that
belongeth
unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in
to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service
thereof
, and shall serve no more:
8:26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the
congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do
unto the Levites touching their charge.
Numbers Chapter 9
9:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the
passover.
9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even
in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel.
9:6¶ And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a
man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before
Moses and before Aaron on that day:
9:7 And those men said unto him, We
are
defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not
offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of
Israel?
9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will
command concerning you.
9:9¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or
be
in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it,
and
eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs
.
9:12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
9:13 But the man that
is
clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the
same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the
offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto
the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the
manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the
stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
9:15¶ And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered
the tabernacle,
namely
, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it
were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
9:16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it
by day
, and the appearance of fire by night.
9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the
children of Israel pitched their tents.
9:18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at
the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the
tabernacle they rested in their tents.
9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
9:20 And
so
it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the
commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
9:21 And
so
it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and
that
the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether
it was
by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
9:22 Or
whether it were
two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle,
remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed
not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
9:23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Numbers Chapter 10
10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them:
that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps.
10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10:4 And if they blow
but
with one
trumpet
, then the princes,
which are
heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go
forward.
10:6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the
south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but
ye shall not sound an alarm.
10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they
shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered
before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the
beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt
offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to
you for a memorial before your God: I
am
the LORD your God.
10:11¶ And it came to pass on the twentieth
day
of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off
the tabernacle of the testimony.
10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the
LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:14¶ In the first
place
went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their
armies: and over his host
was
Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
was
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
was
Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons
of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18¶ And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to
their armies: and over his host
was
Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
was
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
was
Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and
the other
did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22¶ And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
according to their armies: and over his host
was
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh
was
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
was
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25¶ And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward,
which was
the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host
was
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
was
Pagiel the son of Ocran.
10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
was
Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28 Thus
were
the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they
set forward.
10:29¶ And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will
give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath
spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land,
and to my kindred.
10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness
the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
10:33¶ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey:
and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days'
journey, to search out a resting place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of the LORD
was
upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up,
LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee
before thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of
Israel.
Numbers Chapter 11
11:1 And
when
the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard
it
; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and
consumed
them that were
in the uttermost parts of the camp.
11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the
fire was quenched.
11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD
burnt among them.
11:4¶ And the mixt multitude that
was
among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
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 garlick:
11:6 But now our soul
is
dried away:
there is
nothing at all, beside this manna,
before
our eyes.
11:7 And the manna
was
as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
11:8
And
the people went about, and gathered
it
, and ground
it
in mills, or beat
it
in a mortar, and baked
it
in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil.
11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
11:10¶ Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every
man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly;
Moses also was displeased.
11:11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant?
and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden
of all this people upon me?
11:12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the
sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep
unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because
it is
too heavy for me.
11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I
have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the
elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and
officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation,
that they may stand there with thee.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the
spirit which
is
upon thee, and will put
it
upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou
bear
it
not thyself alone.
11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and
ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall
give us flesh to eat? for
it was
well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall
eat.
11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days,
nor twenty days;
11:20
But
even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome
unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which
is
among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I
am
,
are
six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that
they may eat a whole month.
11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or
shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt
see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
11:24¶ And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and
gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about
the tabernacle.
11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
spirit that
was
upon him, and gave
it
unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass,
that
, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
11:26 But there remained two
of the
men in the camp, the name of the one
was
Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and
they
were
of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they
prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do
prophesy in the camp.
11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses,
one
of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the
LORD'S people were prophets,
and
that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31¶ And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from
the sea, and let
them
fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a
day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two
cubits
high
upon the face of the earth.
11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all
that
night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered
least gathered ten homers: and they spread
them
all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
11:33 And while the flesh
was
yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled
against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they
buried the people that lusted.
11:35
And
the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at
Hazeroth.
Numbers Chapter 12
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the LORD heard
it
.
12:3 (Now the man Moses
was
very meek, above all the men which
were
upon the face of the earth.)
12:4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came
out.
12:5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood
in
the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came
forth.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you,
I
the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision,
and
will speak unto him in a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses
is
not so, who
is
faithful in all mine house.
12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark
speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were
ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
became
leprous,
white
as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold,
she was
leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin
upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
thee.
12:14¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her
face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp
seven days, and after that let her be received in
again
.
12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in
again
.
12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran.
Numbers Chapter 13
13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto
the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man,
every one a ruler among them.
13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of
Paran: all those men
were
heads of the children of Israel.
13:4 And these
were
their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph,
namely
, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16 These
are
the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called
Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17¶ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto
them, Get you up this
way
southward, and go up into the mountain:
13:18 And see the land, what it
is
; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they
be
strong or weak, few or many;
13:19 And what the land
is
that they dwell in, whether it
be
good or bad; and what cities
they be
that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
13:20 And what the land
is
, whether it
be
fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage,
and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time
was
the time of the firstripe grapes.
13:21¶ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin
unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak,
were
. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
13:23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch
with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and
they brought
of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes
which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
13:26¶ And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to
Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and
shewed them the fruit of the land.
13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest
us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this
is
the fruit of it.
13:28 Nevertheless the people
be
strong that dwell in the land, and the cities
are
walled,
and
very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell
by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at
once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against
the people; for they
are
stronger than we.
13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched
unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to
search it,
is
a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw
in it
are
men of a great stature.
13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come
of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in
their sight.
Numbers Chapter 14
14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people
wept that night.
14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:
and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the
land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the
sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for
us to return into Egypt?
14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return
into Egypt.
14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the
congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6¶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were
of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The
land, which we passed through to search it,
is
an exceeding good land.
14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give
it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the
land; for they
are
bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD
is
with us: fear them not.
14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of
the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children
of Israel.
14:11¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me?
and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have
shewed among them?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make
of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
it
, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
14:14 And they will tell
it
to the inhabitants of this land:
for
they have heard that thou LORD
art
among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and
that
thy cloud standeth over them, and
that
thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of
fire by night.
14:15¶ Now
if
thou shalt kill
all
this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee
will speak, saying,
14:16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he
sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as
thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18 The LORD
is
longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and
by no means clearing
the guilty
, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth
generation
.
14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the
greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even
until now.
14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
14:21 But
as
truly
as
I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I
did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times,
and have not hearkened to my voice;
14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath
followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his
seed shall possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow
turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
14:26¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27 How long
shall I bear with
this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings
of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
14:28 Say unto them,
As truly as
I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered
of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which
have murmured against me,
14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,
concerning
which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring
in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
14:32 But
as for
you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land,
even
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities,
even
forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they
shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made
all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the
land,
14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by
the plague before the LORD.
14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were
of the men that went to search the land, lived
still
.
14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the
people mourned greatly.
14:40¶ And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top
of the mountain, saying, Lo, we
be here
, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have
sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the
LORD? but it shall not prosper.
14:42 Go not up, for the LORD
is
not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites
are
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away
from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the
covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that
hill, and smote them, and discomfited them,
even
unto Hormah.
Numbers Chapter 15
15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into
the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
15:3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn
feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat
offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
part
of an hin of oil.
15:5 And the fourth
part
of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt
offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare
for
a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third
part
of an hin of oil.
15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third
part
of an hin of wine,
for
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock
for
a burnt offering, or
for
a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
15:9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of
flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,
for
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or
a kid.
15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every
one according to their number.
15:13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner,
in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever
be
among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15:15 Oen ordinance
shall be both
for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth
with you
, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye
are
, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
15:16 Oen law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
15:17¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land whither I bring you,
15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall
offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough
for
an heave offering: as
ye do
the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering
in your generations.
15:22¶ And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,
which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23
Even
all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that
the LORD commanded
Moses
, and henceforward among your generations;
15:24 Then it shall be, if
ought
be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all
the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a
sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering,
according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it
is
ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel,
and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people
were
in ignorance.
15:27¶ And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she
goat of the first year for a sin offering.
15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement
for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,
both for
him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that
sojourneth among them.
15:30¶ But the soul that doeth
ought
presumptuously,
whether he be
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul
shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity
shall be
upon him.
15:32¶ And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found
a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done
to him.
15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all
the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him
with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
15:37¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that
they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your
God.
15:41 I
am
the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
I
am
the LORD your God.
Numbers Chapter 16
16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of
Reuben, took
men
:
16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of
renown:
16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and
said unto them,
Ye take
too much upon you, seeing all the congregation
are
holy, every one of them, and the LORD
is
among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the
LORD?
16:4 And when Moses heard
it
, he fell upon his face:
16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow
the LORD will shew who
are
his, and
who is
holy; and will cause
him
to come near unto him: even
him
whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow:
and it shall be
that
the man whom the LORD doth choose, he
shall be
holy:
ye take
too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
16:9
Seemeth it but
a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the
congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the
tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto
them?
16:10 And he hath brought thee near
to him
, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood
also?
16:11 For which cause
both
thou and all thy company
are
gathered together against the LORD: and what
is
Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
16:12¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which
said, We will not come up:
16:13
Is it
a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with
milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself
altogether a prince over us?
16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and
honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the
eyes of these men? we will not come up.
16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their
offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD,
thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye
before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also,
and Aaron, each
of you
his censer.
16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid
incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
with Moses and Aaron.
16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the
congregation.
16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them
in a moment.
16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits
of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the
congregation?
16:23¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of
Israel followed him.
16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the
tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in
all their sins.
16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every
side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and
their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all
these works; for
I have
not
done them
of mine own mind.
16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after
the visitation of all men;
then
the LORD hath not sent me.
16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that
appertain
unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that
these men have provoked the LORD.
16:31¶ And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these
words, that the ground clave asunder that
was
under them:
16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses,
and all the men that
appertained
unto Korah, and all
their
goods.
16:33 They, and all that
appertained
to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and
they perished from among the congregation.
16:34 And all Israel that
were
round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth
swallow us up
also
.
16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and
fifty men that offered incense.
16:36¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are
hallowed.
16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them
broad plates
for
a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they
are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were
burnt had offered; and they were made broad
plates for
a covering of the altar:
16:40
To be
a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which
is
not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he
be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of
Moses.
16:41¶ But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of
the LORD.
16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and
against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and,
behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
16:44¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a
moment. And they fell upon their faces.
16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off
the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make
an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is
begun.
16:47¶ And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on
incense, and made an atonement for the people.
16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Numbers Chapter 17
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod
according to the house of
their
fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve
rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod
shall be
for the head of the house of their fathers.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before
the testimony, where I will meet with you.
17:5 And it shall come to pass,
that
the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease
from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against
you.
17:6¶ And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their
princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers'
houses,
even
twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron
was
among their rods.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of
witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and
brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the
children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
17:10¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the
testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take
away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
17:11 And Moses did
so
: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we
perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall
die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Numbers Chapter 18
18:1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house
with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with
thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring
thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but
thou and thy sons with thee
shall minister
before the tabernacle of witness.
18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only
they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that
neither they, nor ye also, die.
18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger
shall not come nigh unto you.
18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the
altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the
children of Israel: to you
they are
given
as
a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for
every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given
your priest's office
unto you
as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
18:8¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the
charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of
Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy
sons, by an ordinance for ever.
18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things,
reserved
from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and
every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they
shall render unto me,
shall be
most holy for thee and for thy sons.
18:10 In the most holy
place
shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
18:11 And this
is
thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the
children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy
daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy
house shall eat of it.
18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat,
the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given
thee.
18:13
And
whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD,
shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat
of
it.
18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
18:15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto
the LORD,
whether it be
of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou
surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem,
according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel
of the sanctuary, which
is
twenty gerahs.
18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling
of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they
are
holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat
for
an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
18:18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right
shoulder are thine.
18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel
offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with
thee, by a statute for ever: it
is
a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with
thee.
18:20¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in
their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I
am
thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel
for an inheritance, for their service which they serve,
even
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle
of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity:
it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of
Israel they have no inheritance.
18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer
as
an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit:
therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have
no inheritance.
18:25¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the
children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD,
even
a tenth
part
of the tithe.
18:27 And
this
your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though
it were
the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
18:28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your
tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof
the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.
18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of
all the best thereof,
even
the hallowed part thereof out of it.
18:30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof
from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the
threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it
is
your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the
best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel,
lest ye die.
Numbers Chapter 19
19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
19:2 This
is
the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein
is
no blemish,
and
upon which never came yoke:
19:3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth
without the camp, and
one
shall slay her before his face:
19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven
times:
19:5 And
one
shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood,
with her dung, shall he burn:
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast
it
into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be
unclean until the even.
19:8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his
flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
19:9 And a man
that is
clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay
them
up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the
congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it
is
a purification for sin.
19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11¶ He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven
days.
19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day
he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh
day he shall not be clean.
19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth
not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut
off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he
shall be unclean; his uncleanness
is
yet upon him.
19:14 This
is
the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that
is
in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it,
is
unclean.
19:16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields,
or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
19:17 And for an unclean
person
they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and
running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip
it
in the water, and sprinkle
it
upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there,
and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19:19 And the clean
person
shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and
on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that
soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the
sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon
him; he
is
unclean.
19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth
the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water
of separation shall be unclean until even.
19:22 And whatsoever the unclean
person
toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth
it
shall be unclean until even.
Numbers Chapter 20
20:1 Then came the children of Israel,
even
the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the
people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves
together against Moses and against Aaron.
20:3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had
died when our brethren died before the LORD!
20:4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
20:5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto
this evil place? it
is
no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither
is
there any water to drink.
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the
glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
20:7¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy
brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth
his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou
shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock,
and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this
rock?
20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:
and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts
also
.
20:12¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me
not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall
not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
20:13 This
is
the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and
he was sanctified in them.
20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith
thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long
time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
20:16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel,
and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we
are
in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
20:17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through
the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink
of
the water of the wells: we will go by the king's
high
way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed
thy borders.
20:18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out
against thee with the sword.
20:19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and
if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only,
without
doing
any thing
else
, go through on my feet.
20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him
with much people, and with a strong hand.
20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore
Israel turned away from him.
20:22¶ And the children of Israel,
even
the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
20:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the
land of Edom, saying,
20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the
land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled
against my word at the water of Meribah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and
Aaron shall be gathered
unto his people
, and shall die there.
20:27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in
the sight of all the congregation.
20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came
down from the mount.
20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days,
even
all the house of Israel.
Numbers Chapter 21
21:1 And
when
king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came
by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took
some
of them prisoners.
21:2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
21:3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the
name of the place Hormah.
21:4¶ And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to
compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged
because of the way.
21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye
brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for
there is
no bread, neither
is there any
water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel died.
21:7¶ Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we
have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he
take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a
pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh
upon it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to
pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of
brass, he lived.
21:10¶ And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
21:11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the
wilderness which
is
before Moab, toward the sunrising.
21:12¶ From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which
is
in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon
is
the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in
the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
21:15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar,
and lieth upon the border of Moab.
21:16 And from thence
they went
to Beer: that
is
the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I
will give them water.
21:17¶ Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by
the direction of
the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness
they went
to Mattanah:
21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
21:20 And from Bamoth
in
the valley, that
is
in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21:21¶ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into
the vineyards; we will not drink
of
the waters of the well:
but
we will go along by the king's
high
way, until we be past thy borders.
21:23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land
from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the
children of Ammon
was
strong.
21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of
the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
21:26 For Heshbon
was
the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former
king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
21:27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the
city of Sihon be built and prepared:
21:28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon:
it hath consumed Ar of Moab,
and
the lords of the high places of Arnon.
21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given
his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the
Amorites.
21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even unto Nophah, which
reacheth
unto Medeba.
21:31¶ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and
drove out the Amorites that
were
there.
21:33¶ And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king
of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at
Edrei.
21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into
thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou
didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none
left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Numbers Chapter 22
22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab
on this side Jordan
by
Jericho.
22:2¶ And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites.
22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they
were
many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up
all
that are
round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son
of Zippor
was
king of the Moabites at that time.
22:5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which
is
by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying,
Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of
the earth, and they abide over against me:
22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they
are
too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail,
that
we may smite them, and
that
I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest
is
blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards
of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the
words of Balak.
22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word
again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with
Balaam.
22:9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men
are
these with thee?
22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath
sent unto me,
saying
,
22:11 Behold,
there is
a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now,
curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them
out.
22:12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not
curse the people: for they
are
blessed.
22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak,
Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said,
Balaam refuseth to come with us.
22:15¶ And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than
they.
22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of
Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
22:17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever
thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
22:18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would
give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the
LORD my God, to do less or more.
22:19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know
what the LORD will say unto me more.
22:20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to
call thee, rise up,
and
go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou
do.
22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab.
22:22¶ And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the
LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his
ass, and his two servants
were
with him.
22:23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword
drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the
field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
22:24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall
being
on this side, and a wall on that side.
22:25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the
wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
22:26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place,
where
was
no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam:
and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What
have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there
were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam,
Am
not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since
I was
thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD
standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his
head, and fell flat on his face.
22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because
thy
way is perverse before me:
22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had
turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not
that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee,
I will get me back again.
22:35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the
word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with
the princes of Balak.
22:36¶ And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him
unto a city of Moab, which
is
in the border of Arnon, which
is
in the utmost coast.
22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call
thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee
to honour?
22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power
at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I
speak.
22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes
that
were
with him.
22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought
him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost
part
of the people.
Numbers Chapter 23
23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams.
23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
every
altar a bullock and a ram.
23:3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will
tell thee. And he went to an high place.
23:4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars,
and I have offered upon
every
altar a bullock and a ram.
23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak,
and thus thou shalt speak.
23:6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he,
and all the princes of Moab.
23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought
me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,
saying
, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
23:8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom
the LORD hath not defied?
23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him:
lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth
part
of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like
his!
23:11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed
them
altogether.
23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the
LORD hath put in my mouth?
23:13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place,
from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them,
and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
23:14¶ And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah,
and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on
every
altar.
23:15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet
the LORD
yonder.
23:16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again
unto Balak, and say thus.
23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the
princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken
unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19 God
is
not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do
it
? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received
commandment
to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness
in Israel: the LORD his God
is
with him, and the shout of a king
is
among them.
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn.
23:23 Surely
there is
no enchantment against Jacob, neither
is there
any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of
Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as
a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat
of
the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
23:25¶ And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless
them at all.
23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All
that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
23:27¶ And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee
unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me
them from thence.
23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon.
23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on
every
altar.
Numbers Chapter 24
24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not,
as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the
wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding
in his tents
according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling
into a trance
, but having his eyes open:
24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,
and
thy tabernacles, O Israel!
24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as
the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted,
and
as cedar trees beside the waters.
24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed
shall be
in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall
be exalted.
24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones,
and pierce
them
through with his arrows.
24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him
up? Blessed
is
he that blesseth thee, and cursed
is
he that curseth thee.
24:10¶ And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine
enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed
them
these three times.
24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto
great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou
sentest unto me, saying,
24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go
beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do
either
good or bad of mine own mind;
but
what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come
therefore
,
and
I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter
days.
24:15¶ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the
most High,
which
saw the vision of the Almighty, falling
into a trance
, but having his eyes open:
24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there
shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and
shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his
enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy
him that remaineth of the city.
24:20¶ And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,
Amalek
was
the first of the nations; but his latter end
shall be
that he perish for ever.
24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong
is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee
away captive.
24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth
this!
24:24 And ships
shall come
from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber,
and he also shall perish for ever.
24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also
went his way.
Numbers Chapter 25
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with
the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Israel.
25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang
them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may
be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that
were joined unto Baal-peor.
25:6¶ And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, who
were
weeping
before
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw
it
, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was
stayed from the children of Israel.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
25:10¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my
wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among
them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him,
even
the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God,
and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain,
even
that was slain with the Midianitish woman,
was
Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain
was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he
was
head over a people,
and
of a chief house in Midian.
25:16¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in
the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of
Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
Numbers Chapter 26
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and
unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able
to go to war in Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by
Jordan
near
Jericho, saying,
26:4
Take the sum of the people
, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the
children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.
26:5¶ Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch,

famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the
company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD:
26:10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with
Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and
fifty men: and they became a sign.

, the family of the Ardites:
and
of Naaman, the family of the Naamites.
26:41 These
are
the sons of Benjamin after their families: and they that were numbered of them
were
forty and five thousand and six hundred.
26:42¶ These
are
the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites.
These
are
the families of Dan after their families.
26:43 All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those that were numbered

26:51 These

26:52¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26:53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the
number of names.
26:54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give
the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to
those that were numbered of him.
26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names
of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many
and few.
26:57¶ And these
are
they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the

26:58 These

26:59 And the name of Amram's wife

their sister.
26:60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the
children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the
children of Israel.
26:63¶ These
are
they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the
children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho.
26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the
priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of
Sinai.
26:65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness.
And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers Chapter 27
27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the
son of Joseph: and these
are
the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation,
by
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them
that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but
died in his own sin, and had no sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family,
because he hath no son? Give unto us
therefore
a possession among the brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die,
and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it:
and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
27:12¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people,
as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that
is
the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
27:15¶ And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which
may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the
LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a
man in whom
is
the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation;
and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And thou shalt put
some
of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel
may be obedient.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask
counsel
for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go
out, and at his word they shall come in,
both
he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses.
Numbers Chapter 28
28:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering,
and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire,
for
a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This
is
the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the
first year without spot day by day,
for
a continual burnt offering.
28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt
thou offer at even;
28:5 And a tenth
part
of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth
part
of an hin of beaten oil.
28:6
It is
a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
28:7 And the drink offering thereof
shall be
the fourth
part
of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy
place
shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD
for
a drink offering.
28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer
it
, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
28:9¶ And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and
two tenth deals of flour
for
a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
28:10
This is
the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and
his drink offering.
28:11¶ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the

for
a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of
flour
for

28:13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil
for
a meat offering unto one lamb;

28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock,
and the third
part
of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth
part
of an hin unto a lamb: this
is
the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month

the passover of the LORD.
28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month

28:18 In the first day

seven lambs:
28:22 And one goat
for
a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which
is
for a continual burnt offering.
28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the
meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall
be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work.
28:26¶ Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat
offering unto the LORD, after your weeks
be out
, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
28:27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD;
two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28:28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto
one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,

unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.

daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings,
according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD.
29:7¶ And ye shall have on the tenth
day
of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye
shall not do any work
therein
:
29:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD
for
a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram,
and
seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
29:9 And their meat offering

for

offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.
29:12¶ And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy

29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
Numbers Chapter 30
30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This
is
the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a
bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,
being
in her father's house in her youth;
30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her
vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the
LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
30:7 And her husband heard
it
, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard
it
: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall
stand.
30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard
it
; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall
forgive her.
30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have
bound their souls, shall stand against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with
an oath;
30:11 And her husband heard
it
, and held his peace at her,
and
disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith
she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard
them
;
then
whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the
bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the
LORD shall forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may
establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then
he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which
are
upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that
he heard
them
.
30:15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them
; then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These
are
the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife,
between the father and his daughter,
being yet
in her youth in her father's house.
Numbers Chapter 31
31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be
gathered unto thy people.
31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the
war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye
send to the war.
31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of
every
tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of
every
tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the
holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and
they slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain;
namely
, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also
the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took
all
the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all
their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly
castles, with fire.
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey,
both
of men and of beasts.
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses,
and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which
are
by Jordan
near
Jericho.
31:13¶ And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,
with
the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the
battle.
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman
that hath known man by lying with him.
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him,
keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any
person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify
both
yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
31:20 And purify all
your
raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats'
hair
, and all things made of wood.
31:21¶ And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This
is
the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the
lead,
31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make
it
go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified
with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make
go through the water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean,
and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
31:25¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken,
both
of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of
the congregation:
31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred,
both
of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
31:29 Take
it
of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest,
for
an heave offering of the LORD.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of
fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all
manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the
tabernacle of the LORD.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:32 And the booty,
being
the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand
and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known
man by lying with him.
31:36 And the half,
which was
the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand
and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
31:37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves
were
thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute
was
threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses
were
thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute
was
threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons
were
sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute
was
thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute,
which was
the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded
Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men
that warred,
31:43 (Now the half
that pertained unto
the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand
and
seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
31:47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
both
of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of
the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:48¶ And the officers which
were
over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses:
31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of
war which
are
under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets,
to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,
even
all wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the
captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty shekels.
31:53 (
For
the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation,
for
a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Numbers Chapter 32
32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of
Gilead, that, behold, the place
was
a place for cattle;
32:2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses,
and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4
Even
the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel,
is
a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land
be given unto thy servants for a possession,
and
bring us not over Jordan.
32:6¶ And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
32:7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going
over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the
land.
32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they
discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into
the land which the LORD had given them.
32:10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old
and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun:
for they have wholly followed the LORD.
32:13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander
in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in
the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the
wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
32:16¶ And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until
we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the
fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward;
because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
32:20¶ And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the LORD to war,
32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath
driven out his enemies from before him,
32:22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return,
and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be
your possession before the LORD.
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be
sure your sin will find you out.
32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do
that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses,
saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be
there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD
to battle, as my lord saith.
32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son
of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of
Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the
LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the
land of Gilead for a possession:
32:30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As
the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the
possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan
may be
ours.
32:33 And Moses gave unto them,
even
to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe
of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and
the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the
coasts,
even
the cities of the country round about.
32:34¶ And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
32:37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
32:38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and
gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
32:39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took
it, and dispossessed the Amorite which
was
in it.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and
called them Havoth-jair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it
Nobah, after his own name.
Numbers Chapter 33
33:1 These
are
the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of
Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these
are
their journeys according to their goings out.
33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of
the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went
out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
33:4 For the Egyptians buried all
their
firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the
LORD executed judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which
is
in the edge of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which
is
before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of
the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of
Etham, and pitched in Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim
were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched
there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
33:12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in
Dophkah.
33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
33:14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water
for the people to drink.
33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
33:16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah.
33:17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
33:20 And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
33:22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
33:23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
33:24 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
33:25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
33:26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
33:28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
33:33 And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
33:36 And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin,
which
is
Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of
the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the
LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were
come out of the land of Egypt, in the first
day
of the fifth month.
33:39 And Aaron
was
an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of
Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
33:43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of
Moab.
33:45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
33:47 And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of
Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains
of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho.
33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth
even
unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho, saying,
33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed
over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you,
and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite
pluck down all their high places:
33:53 And ye shall dispossess
the inhabitants
of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families:
and
to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give
the less inheritance: every man's
inheritance
shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your
fathers ye shall inherit.
33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them
shall be
pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land
wherein ye dwell.
33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass,
that
I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
Numbers Chapter 34
34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the
land of Canaan; (this
is
the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance,
even
the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the
coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea
eastward:
34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt,
and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
34:6 And
as for
the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall
be your west border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out
for you mount Hor:
34:8 From mount Hor ye shall point out
your border
unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to
Zedad:
34:9¶ And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it
shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of
Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of
Chinnereth eastward:
34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be
at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This
is
the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto
the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their
fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their
fathers, have received
their inheritance
; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this
side Jordan
near
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
34:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17 These
are
the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
34:19 And the names of the men
are
these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
34:20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of
Jogli.
34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of
Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of
Shiphtan.
34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son
of Parnach.
34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son
of Azzan.
34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of
Shelomi.
34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son
of Ammihud.
34:29 These
are they
whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel
in the land of Canaan.
Numbers Chapter 35
35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho, saying,
35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the
inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give
also
unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall
be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
shall reach
from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand
cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two
thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city
shall be
in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites
there shall be
six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may
flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
35:7
So
all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites
shall be
forty and eight cities: them
shall ye give
with their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give
shall be
of the possession of the children of Israel: from
them that have
many ye shall give many; but from
them that have
few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites
according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
35:9¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come
over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the
slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the
manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for
refuge.
35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye
give in the land of Canaan,
which
shall be cities of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge,
both
for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among
them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he
is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he
die, he
is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:18 Or
if
he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he
is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth
him, he shall slay him.
35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he
die;
35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him
shall surely be put to death;
for
he
is
a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth
him.
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any
thing without laying of wait,
35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing
him
not, and cast
it
upon him, that he die, and
was
not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of
blood according to these judgments:
35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the
revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his
refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the
high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city
of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his
refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of
blood:
35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death
of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall
return into the land of his possession.
35:29 So these
things
shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all
your dwellings.
35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth
of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person
to cause him
to die.
35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which
is
guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his
refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the
priest.
35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye
are
: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood
that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell:
for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Numbers Chapter 36
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the
other
tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from
the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our
inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their
inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the
LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
36:6 This
is
the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad,
saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe
of their father shall they marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe
to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from
one
tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of
Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
36:12
And
they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph,
and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
36:13 These
are
the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho.
