after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of
their names, every male by their polls;
1:3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to

1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day
of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families,

1:48 For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,
1:49 Only you shall not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum
of them among the children of Israel:
1:50 But you shall 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 to it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
1:51 And when the tabernacle sets 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 comes near 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 there be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and
the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did they.
2:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard,
with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of
the congregation shall they pitch.
2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon
the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
2:4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were three score

2:5 And those that do pitch next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar:

2:16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand
and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their

2:17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the
camp of the Levites in the middle of the camp: as they encamp, so shall
they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
2:18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according
to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama
the son of Ammihud.

two thousand and two hundred.

2:23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and
five thousand and four hundred.
2:24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand
and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall

2:25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their

of Ammishaddai.
2:26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were three score
and two thousand and seven hundred.
2:27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the

2:30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and
three thousand and four hundred.
2:31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand

their standards.
2:32 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the
house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout
their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred
and fifty.
2:33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every
one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
3:1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the
LORD spoke 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest,
that they may minister to 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 you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly
given to him out of the children of Israel.
3:10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their
priest's office: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
3:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of
Israel instead of all the firstborn that opens 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 to me all the firstborn in
Israel, both man and beast: my shall they be: I am the LORD.
3:14 And the LORD spoke to 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 shall you number them.
3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded.
3:17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath,

3:18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families;
Libni, and Shimei.
3:19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron,

westward.
3:24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall
be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation
shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging

court, 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 with which they minister,

3:32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief

these are the families of Merari.
3:34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.
3:35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle
northward.
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 serves
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 comes near 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 to 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 you shall 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 firstborn 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 three score and thirteen.
3:44 And the LORD spoke to 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 three
score and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are
more than the Levites;
3:47 You shall even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel
of the sanctuary shall you take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
3:48 And you shall give the money, with which the odd number of them is
to be redeemed, to 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 three score and five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
3:51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed to Aaron and to
his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and
they shall take down the covering veil, 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 on the table of show bread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover
with: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8 And they shall spread on 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 firepans, and all the oil
vessels thereof, with which they minister to it:
4:10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering
of badgers' skins, and shall put it on a bar.
4:11 And on 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, with which 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 on it all the vessels thereof, with which they
minister about it, even the censers, the meat hooks, and the shovels, and
the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on 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 pertains
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 spoke to Moses and to Aaron saying,
4:18 Cut you not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among
the Levites:
4:19 But thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach
to 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 spoke to 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 shall you 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 on 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 you shall appoint to 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, you shall number them after their families,
by the house of their fathers;
4:30 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shall you
number them, every one that enters 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 you 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 to fifty years old, every one
that enters 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.

the hand of Moses.
4:38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their

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,

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 to 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.
5:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every
leper, and every one that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:
5:3 Both male and female shall you put out, without the camp shall you
put them; that they defile not their camps, in the middle whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp:
as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak to 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 to it the fifth
part thereof, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed.
5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the
trespass be recompensed to 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 to the priest, shall be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to 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 on him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
5:15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring
her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall
pour no oil on 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 causes the curse:
5:19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman,
If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water
that causes the curse:
5:20 But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and
if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and
the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath
among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your
belly to swell;
5:22 And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to
make your belly to swell, and your 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 causes
the curse: and the water that causes 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 on the
altar:
5:26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial
thereof, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman
to drink the water.
5:27 And when he has 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 causes 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 goes aside to another instead
of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he be jealous over
his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall
execute on her all this law.
5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall
bear her iniquity.
6:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or
woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves to 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.
6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come
on his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separates himself
to 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 separates himself to 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 on his head.
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.
6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he has 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 to 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 to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
6:14 And he shall offer his offering to 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 to 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 on 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 has vowed, and of his offering
to 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
6:23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On this wise you shall bless
the children of Israel, saying to them,
6:24 The LORD bless you, and keep you:
6:25 The LORD make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you:
6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace.
6:27 And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless
them.
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;
7:2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who
were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered,
offered:
7:3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons,
and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox:
and they brought them before the tabernacle.
7:4 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7:5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man
according to his service.
7:6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7:7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according
to their service:
7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according
to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
7:9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the
sanctuary belonging to them was that they should bear on their shoulders.
7:10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that
it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
7:11 And the LORD said to Moses, They shall offer their offering, each
prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

7:89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to
speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking to him from off
the mercy seat that was on the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim:
and he spoke to him.
8:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8:2 Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you light 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, to the shaft thereof,
to the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according to the pattern which
the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8:6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
8:7 And thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying
on 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 shall you take for a
sin offering.
8:9 And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and you shall gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
8:10 And you shall bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children
of Israel shall put their hands on 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 on the heads of the bullocks:
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering, to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
8:13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and
offer them for an offering to the LORD.
8:14 Thus shall you 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 you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an
offering.
8:16 For they are wholly given to 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 to 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 near to the sanctuary.
8:20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses
concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to 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 to them.
8:23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8:24 This is it that belongs to the Levites: from twenty and five years
old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation:
8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the service
thereof, and shall serve no more:
8:26 But shall minister with their brothers in the tabernacle of the congregation,
to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites
touching their charge.
9:1 And the LORD spoke to 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, you shall keep it in
his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to
all the ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it.
9:4 And Moses spoke to 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 to him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man:
why 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 to them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD
will command concerning you.
9:9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak to 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 to 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 to 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 declines 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
to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according
to the manner thereof, so shall he do: you 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
on the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
9:16 So it was always: 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 stayed,
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 stayed
on the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
9:19 And when the cloud tarried long on 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 on the tabernacle; according
to the commandment of the LORD they stayed in their tents, and according
to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
9:21 And so it was, when the cloud stayed from even to 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 on the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel stayed
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.
10:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10:2 Make you two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them:
that you may 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 you 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 to you.
10:5 When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts
shall go forward.
10:6 When you 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, you shall blow,
but you 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 you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses
you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered
before the LORD your God, and you 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, you 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 rear guard 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 journeys of the children of Israel according to their
armies, when they set forward.
10:29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I
will give it you: come you with us, and we will do you good: for the LORD
has spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30 And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land,
and to my kindred.
10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray you; for as much as you know how
we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you may be to us instead of eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that what goodness
the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to you.
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 on 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 your enemies be scattered; and let them that hate you
flee before you.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands
of Israel.
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 to Moses; and when Moses prayed to 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 mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the
children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to
eat?
11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
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 color thereof as the
color 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 on the camp in the night, the manna fell on
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 to the LORD, Why have you afflicted your servant?
and why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of
all this people on me?
11:12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that you
should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father bears the
sucking child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?
11:13 From where should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they
weep to 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 you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray you, out of hand, if
I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16 And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders
of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over
them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may
stand there with you.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of
the spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear
the burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.
11:18 And say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow,
and you shall eat flesh: for you 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 you shall eat.
11:19 You 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 to you: because that you 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 you have 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 to Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? you shall
see now whether my word shall come to pass to you 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 spoke to him, and took of
the spirit that was on him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came
to pass, that, when the spirit rested on 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 on them;
and they were of them that were written, but went not out to 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 to him, Envy you for my sake? would God that all the
LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit on
them!
11:30 And Moses got 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 on 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 to Hazeroth; and stayed
at Hazeroth.
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? has 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 on
the face of the earth.)
12:4 And the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam,
Come out you three to 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 to him in a vision, and will speak to him
in a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my 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: why then
were you 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 on Miriam, and, behold,
she was leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech you, lay not the
sin on 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 comes out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
you.
12:14 And the LORD said to 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.
13:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
13:2 Send you men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give
to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall you 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 to 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 dwells 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 you of good courage, and bring of the fruit
of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin
to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came to 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 to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch
with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two on 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 there.
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, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought
back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit
of the land.
13:27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us,
and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
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
to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone
to search it, is a land that eats 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.
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 to them, Would God that we had died
in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
14:3 And why has the LORD brought us to 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 spoke to 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 flows with milk and honey.
14:9 Only rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of
the land; for they are bread for us: their defense 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 to Moses, How long will this people provoke me?
and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I
have showed among them?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will
make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for
you brought up this people in your might from among them;)
14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have
heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face
to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them,
by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15 Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations
which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
14:16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land
which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according
as you have spoken, saying,
14:18 The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity
and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
14:19 Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the
greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt
even until now.
14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your 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 listened to my voice;
14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to 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
has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went;
and his seed shall possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow
turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
14:26 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 to them, As truly as I live, said the LORD, as you have spoken
in my ears, so will I do to you:
14:29 Your carcasses 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 you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore
to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of Nun.
14:31 But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will
I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
14:32 But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and
bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even
forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty
years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to 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
on the land,
14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report on 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 to all the children of Israel: and the
people mourned greatly.
14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top
of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which
the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the
LORD? but it shall not prosper.
14:42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten
before your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you
shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore
the LORD will not be with you.
14:44 But they presumed to go up to 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 dwelled in
that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
15:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
15:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you be come
into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
15:3 And will make an offering by fire to 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 smell to the LORD, of the herd or of the
flock:
15:4 Then shall he that offers his offering to 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 shall you
prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram, you shall 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 you shall offer the third part of an hin
of wine, for a sweet smell to the LORD.
15:8 And when you prepare a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice
in performing a vow, or peace offerings to 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 you shall bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for
an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to 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 you shall prepare, so shall you 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 smell to the LORD.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever be among you in your
generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell
to the LORD; as you do, so he shall do.
15:15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also
for the stranger that sojournes with you, an ordinance for ever in your
generations: as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojournes with you.
15:17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into
the land where I bring you,
15:19 Then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you
shall offer up an heave offering to the LORD.
15:20 You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
offering: as you do the heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall
you heave it.
15:21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD an heave offering
in your generations.
15:22 And if you have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which
the LORD has spoken to Moses,
15:23 Even all that the LORD has 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 smell to 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 to 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 sojournes 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 sins ignorantly,
when he sins by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him;
and it shall be forgiven him.
15:29 You shall have one law for him that sins through ignorance, both
for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger
that sojournes among them.
15:30 But the soul that does ought presumptuously, whether he be born in
the land, or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD; and that soul shall
be cut off from among his people.
15:31 Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be
on him.
15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found
a man that gathered sticks on the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and
Aaron, and to 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 to 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
15:38 Speak to 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 on the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue:
15:39 And it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and
remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that you seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a
whoring:
15:40 That you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to
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.
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 to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation
are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: why then lift
you up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
16:4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
16:5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even to morrow
the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to
come near to him: even him whom he has chosen will he cause to come near
to 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 does choose, he shall be holy:
you take too much on you, you sons of Levi.
16:8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, you sons of Levi:
16:9 Seems it but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated
you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do
the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation
to minister to them?
16:10 And he has brought you near to him, and all your brothers the sons
of Levi with you: and seek you the priesthood also?
16:11 For which cause both you and all your company are gathered together
against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that you 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 you have brought us up out of a land that
flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except you make
yourself altogether a prince over us?
16:14 Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk
and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put
out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said to the LORD, Respect not you their
offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of
them.
16:16 And Moses said to Korah, Be you and all your company before the LORD,
you, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring
you before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers;
you 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 to the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared
to all the congregation.
16:20 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume
them in a moment.
16:22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits
of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all the congregation?
16:23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of
Israel followed him.
16:26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from
the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest you be
consumed in all their sins.
16:27 So they got 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 you shall know that the LORD has sent me to
do all these works; for I have not done them of my 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 has 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 to them, and they go down quick
into the pit; then you 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 split 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 to Korah, and all their goods.
16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the
pit, and the earth closed on 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
16:37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are
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 to the
children of Israel.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, with which they that
were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering
of the altar:
16:40 To be a memorial to 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, You 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them
as in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
16:46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from
off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to 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 middle 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 to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and the plague was stayed.
17:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak to 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 you every man's name on
his rod.
17:3 And you shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi: for one rod shall
be for the head of the house of their fathers.
17:4 And you shall 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 spoke to 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 to all the
children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
17:10 And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony,
to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shall 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 spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die,
we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whoever comes any thing near to the tabernacle of the LORD shall
die: shall we be consumed with dying?
18:1 And the LORD said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's house
with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons
with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2 And your brothers also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father,
bring you with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you:
but you and your sons with you shall minister before the tabernacle of
witness.
18:3 And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle:
only they shall not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,
that neither they, nor you also, die.
18:4 And they shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger
shall not come near to you.
18:5 And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of
the altar: that there be no wrath any more on the children of Israel.
18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brothers 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 you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office
for everything of the altar, and within the veil; and you shall serve:
I have given your priest's office to you as a service of gift: and the
stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
18:8 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given you the charge
of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel;
to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons,
by an ordinance for ever.
18:9 This shall be your 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 to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
18:10 In the most holy place shall you eat it; every male shall eat it:
it shall be holy to you.
18:11 And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the
wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them to you, and
to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every
one that is clean in your 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 first fruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them
have I given you.
18:13 And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to
the LORD, shall be yours; every one that is clean in your house shall eat
of it.
18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be yours.
18:15 Every thing that opens the matrix in all flesh, which they bring
to the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be yours: nevertheless
the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean
beasts shall you redeem.
18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem,
according to your 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, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their
blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire,
for a sweet smell to the LORD.
18:18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the
right shoulder are yours.
18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of
Israel offer to the LORD, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters
with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before
the LORD to you and to your seed with you.
18:20 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their
land, neither shall you have any part among them: I am your part and your
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 from now on come near 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 to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore
I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18:25 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18:26 Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, When you take of the
children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then you 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 to you, as though
it were the corn of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the wine
press.
18:28 Thus you also shall offer an heave offering to the LORD of all your
tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and you shall give
thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
18:29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave offering of the
LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
18:30 Therefore you shall say to them, When you have heaved the best thereof
from it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the
threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine press.
18:31 And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for
it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:32 And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from
it the best of it: neither shall you pollute the holy things of the children
of Israel, lest you die.
19:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
19:2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying,
Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without
spot, wherein is no blemish, and on which never came yoke:
19:3 And you shall give her to 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 middle 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 burns 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 gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even: and it shall be to the children of Israel,
and to the stranger that sojournes among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11 He that touches 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 Whoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies
not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be
cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled
on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.
19:14 This is the law, when a man dies 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 has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
19:16 And whoever touches 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 on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons that
were there, and on him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead,
or a grave:
19:19 And the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day,
and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify 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 has
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation has not been
sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, that he that sprinkles
the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the
water of separation shall be unclean until even.
19:22 And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the
soul that touches it shall be unclean until even.
20:1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into
the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed 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 strived with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that
we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
20:4 And why have you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
20:5 And why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to
this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of
pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell on their faces:
and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
20:7 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20:8 Take the rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron
your brother, and speak you to the rock before their eyes; and it shall
give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the
rock: so you shall 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 to them, Hear now, you 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 spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because you believed me not,
to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you 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 to the king of Edom, Thus said
your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:
20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelled in Egypt
a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
20:16 And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel,
and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a
city in the uttermost of your border:
20:17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your 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 your borders.
20:18 And Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against
you with the sword.
20:19 And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the high way:
and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it: I will
only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
20:20 And he said, You shall 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: why
Israel turned away from him.
20:22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed
from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor.
20:23 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast
of the land of Edom, saying,
20:24 Aaron shall be gathered to his people: for he shall not enter into
the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled
against my word at the water of Meribah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor:
20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son:
and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.
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 on 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.
21:1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelled 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 to the LORD, and said, If you will indeed deliver
this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
21:3 And the LORD listened 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 spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you
brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread,
neither is there any water; and our soul loathes 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 you; pray to the LORD, that
he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8 And the LORD said to Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it on
a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when
he looks on it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it on 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 sun rise.
21:12 From there they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
21:13 From there they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon,
which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites:
for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14 Why 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 goes down to the dwelling of
Ar, and lies on the border of Moab.
21:16 And from there they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD
spoke to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing you to it:
21:18 The princes dig the well, the nobles of the people dig 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 looks toward Jeshimon.
21:21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21:22 Let me pass through your 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 your 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 to Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon: for the border
of the children of Ammon was strong.
21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelled 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 to Arnon.
21:27 Why 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 has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of
Arnon.
21:29 Woe to you, Moab! you are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has given
his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king
of the Amorites.
21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even to Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.
21:31 Thus Israel dwelled 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 to Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him
into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him
as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelled 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.
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 to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick
up all that are round about us, as the ox licks 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 to 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 you, 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 know that he whom you
bless is blessed, and he whom you curse 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 to Balaam, and spoke
to him the words of Balak.
22:8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word
again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with
Balaam.
22:9 And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you?
22:10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has
sent to me, saying,
22:11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers 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 to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not
curse the people: for they are blessed.
22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak,
Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with
you.
22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said,
Balaam refuses to come with us.
22:15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus said Balak the son
