they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and

they shall

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

shall take it

down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites

of testimony,

that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of

Israel: and

the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

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

the LORD

commanded Moses, so did they.

==== <NU2>

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

the day [that]

the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

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

which were

anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

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

offered strange

fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had

no children:

and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the

sight of

Aaron their father.

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

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

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

whole

congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do

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

children of

Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix

among the children

of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

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

that I smote

all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all

the firstborn in

Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the LORD.

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

Sinai, saying,

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

put to death.

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

Aaron numbered

at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all

the males from

a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.

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

of the males

of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take

the number of

their names.

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

LORD) instead of

all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle

of the Levites

instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children

of Israel.

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

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

from a month old

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

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

children of

Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle;

and the Levites

shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.

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

hundred and

threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of

Israel, which are

more than the Levites;

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

after the

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

twenty

gerahs:)

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

of them is to

be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

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

over and above

them that were redeemed by the Levites:

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

money; a

thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after

the shekel of

the sanctuary:

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

==== <NU4>

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

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

of Levi, after

their families, by the house of their fathers,

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

old, all that

enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the

congregation.

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

tabernacle of

the congregation, [about] the most holy things:

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

his sons, and

they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of

testimony with

it:

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

and shall spread

over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves

thereof.

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

cloth of blue, and

put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and

covers to cover

withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

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

cover the same

with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves

thereof.

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

candlestick of the

light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and

within a covering

of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar.

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

blue, and

shovels, and

the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread

upon it a

covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

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

covering the

sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons

of Kohath shall

come to bear [it]: but they shall not touch [any] holy thing,

lest they die.

These [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the

tabernacle of the

congregation.

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

priest [pertaineth]

the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat

offering, and

the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all the tabernacle,

and of all that

therein [is], in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

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

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

Kohathites from among

the Levites:

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

when they

approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go

in, and

appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:

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

are covered,

lest they die.

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

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

the houses of

their fathers, by their families;

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

shalt thou

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

work in the

tabernacle of the congregation.

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

Gershonites, to serve,

and for burdens:

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

the

tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering

of the badgers'

skins that [is] above upon it, and the hanging for the door of

the tabernacle

of the congregation,

door of the

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

round about,

and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and

all that is

made for them: so shall they serve.

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

the service of

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

their service:

and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

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

Gershon in the

tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be]

under the hand of

Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

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

their

work of the

tabernacle of the congregation.

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

all their

service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the

tabernacle,

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

thereof,

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

sockets, and

their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and

with all their

service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the

charge of their

burden.

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

Merari,

according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the

congregation, under

the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

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

the LORD by

the hand of Moses.

==== <NU5>

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

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

camp every

leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is

defiled by the dead:

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

shall ye put

them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I

dwell.

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

without the camp:

as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.

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

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

shall commit

any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and

that person be

guilty;

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

and he shall

recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto

it the fifth

[part] thereof, and give [it] unto [him] against whom he hath

trespassed.

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

trespass unto, let

the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest;

beside the

ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.

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

children of Israel,

which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

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

whatsoever any man

giveth the priest, it shall be his.

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

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

If any man's

wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

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

eyes of her

husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and [there be]

no witness

against her, neither she be taken [with the manner];

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

jealous of his

wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon

him, and he

be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

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

he shall bring

her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley

meal; he shall

pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it [is]

an offering of

jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to

remembrance.

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

the LORD:

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

vessel; and of the

dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall

take, and put

[it] into the water:

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

uncover the

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

which [is] the

jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the

bitter water that

causeth the curse:

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

unto the woman,

If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside

to uncleanness

[with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from this

bitter water

that causeth the curse:

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

husband, and

if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside

thine husband:

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

cursing, and

the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse

and an oath

among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and

thy belly to

swell;

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

bowels, to

make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman

shall say,

Amen, amen.

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

he shall blot

[them] out with the bitter water:

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

that causeth

the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into

her, [and

become] bitter.

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

the woman's

hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it

upon the

altar:

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

[even] the

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

shall cause the

woman to drink the water.

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

shall come to

pass, [that], if she be defiled, and have done trespass against

her husband,

that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and

become]

bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and

the woman

shall be a curse among her people.

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

shall be

free, and shall conceive seed.

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

aside [to another]

instead of her husband, and is defiled;

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

be jealous

over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the

priest shall

execute upon her all this law.

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

woman shall

bear her iniquity.

==== <NU6>

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

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

When either man

or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite,

to separate

[themselves] unto the LORD:

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

and shall

drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither

shall he drink

any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

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

is made of

the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

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

razor come

upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he

separateth

[himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the

locks of the

hair of his head grow.

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

he shall come

at no dead body.

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

his mother,

for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the

consecration of

his God [is] upon his head.

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

LORD.

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

defiled the head

of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of

his cleansing,

on the seventh day shall he shave it.

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

two young

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

congregation:

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

and the other

for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he

sinned by the

dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

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

separation, and

shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering:

but the days

that were before shall be lost, because his separation was

defiled.

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

his

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

the tabernacle

of the congregation:

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

lamb of the

first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe

lamb of the first

year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without

blemish for peace

offerings,

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

mingled with

oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their

meat

offering, and their drink offerings.

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

shall offer

his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

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

offerings unto

the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall

offer also his

meat offering, and his drink offering.

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

[at] the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair

of the head of

his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the

sacrifice of the

peace offerings.

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

ram, and one

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

shall put

[them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his

separation is

shaven:

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

before the LORD:

this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave

shoulder: and

after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

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

of] his

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

his hand shall

get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after

the law of his

separation.

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

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

wise ye shall

bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

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

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

unto thee:

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

thee peace.

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

and I will

bless them.

==== <NU7>

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,

Merari,

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

it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before

==== <NU8>

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

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

the lamps, the

seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

against the

candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

unto the shaft

thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten work: according

unto the

pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the

candlestick.

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

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

cleanse them.

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

Sprinkle water of

purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let

them wash

their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.

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

offering, [even] fine

flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou

take for a sin

offering.

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

of the

congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the

children of

Israel together:

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

the children of

Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

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

an offering

of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of

the LORD.

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

the bullocks:

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

[for] a burnt

offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

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

his sons, and

offer them [for] an offering unto the LORD.

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

children of

Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

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

service of the

tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and

offer them

[for] an offering.

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

children of

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

the firstborn of

all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

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

mine, [both]

man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the

land of Egypt I

sanctified them for myself.

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

the children of

Israel.

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

to his sons

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

children of Israel

in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement

for the

children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children

of Israel, when

the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

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

children of

Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD

commanded Moses

concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

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

clothes; and

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

made an

atonement for them to cleanse them.

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

in the

tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons:

as the LORD

had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto

them.

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

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

twenty and five

years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service

of the

tabernacle of the congregation:

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

waiting upon the

service [thereof], and shall serve no more:

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

tabernacle of the

congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus

shalt thou do

unto the Levites touching their charge.

==== <NU9>

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

in the first

month of the second year after they were come out of the land of

Egypt,

saying,

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

appointed

season.

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

keep it in his

appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and

according to all the

ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

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

should keep the

passover.

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

first month at

even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD

commanded

Moses, so did the children of Israel.

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

body of a

man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they

came before

Moses and before Aaron on that day:

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

dead body of a

man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an

offering of the LORD

in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

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

what the LORD

will command concerning you.

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

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

of you or of

your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or

[be] in a journey

afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

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

shall keep it,

[and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].

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

any bone of

it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall

keep it.

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

and forbeareth

to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from

among his

people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his

appointed

season, that man shall bear his sin.

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

keep the passover

unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and

according to

the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance,

both for the

stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

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

cloud covered

the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at even

there was

upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the

morning.

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

appearance of

fire by night.

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

then after that

the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the

cloud abode,

there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

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

journeyed, and

at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the

cloud abode upon

the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

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

many days, then

the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and

journeyed not.

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

tabernacle;

according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their

tents, and

according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

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

the morning, and

[that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they

journeyed: whether [it

was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they

journeyed.

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

that the cloud

tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of

Israel abode

in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up,

they journeyed.

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

and at the

commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of

the LORD, at

the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

==== <NU10>

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

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

shalt thou make

them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly,

and for the

journeying of the camps.

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

shall assemble

themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation.

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

princes, [which

are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves

unto thee.

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

east parts

shall go forward.

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

that lie on the

south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm

for their

journeys.

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

ye shall blow,

but ye shall not sound an alarm.

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

trumpets; and

they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your

generations.

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

oppresseth

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

be remembered

before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your

enemies.

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

days, and in

the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets

over your burnt

offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that

they may be

to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.

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

second month, in

the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the

tabernacle of the

testimony.

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

the wilderness

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

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

commandment of

the LORD by the hand of Moses.

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

the children

of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was]

Nahshon the son of

Amminadab.

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

Issachar [was]

Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

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

Zebulun [was]

Eliab the son of Helon.

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

Gershon and the

sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

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

according to

their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.

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

Simeon [was]

Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

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

[was] Eliasaph

the son of Deuel.

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

and [the

other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.

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

Ephraim set forward

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

son of

Ammihud.

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

Manasseh [was]

Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

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

Benjamin [was]

Abidan the son of Gideoni.

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

set forward,

[which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts:

and over his

host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

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

Asher [was] Pagiel

the son of Ocran.

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

Naphtali [was]

Ahira the son of Enan.

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

according to

their armies, when they set forward.

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

Midianite, Moses'

father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the

LORD said, I will

give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for

the LORD hath

spoken good concerning Israel.

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

to mine own

land, and to my kindred.

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

thou knowest

how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us

instead of

eyes.

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

that what

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

thee.

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

days' journey:

and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the

three days'

journey, to search out a resting place for them.

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

they went out

of the camp.

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

Moses said, Rise

up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that

hate thee flee

before thee.

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

many thousands

of Israel.

==== <NU11>

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

LORD: and the

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

LORD burnt

among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts

of the camp.

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

unto the LORD,

the fire was quenched.

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

the fire of the

LORD burnt among them.

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

lusting: and the

children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us

flesh to eat?

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

the

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

the garlic:

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

all, beside

this manna, [before] our eyes.

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

thereof as the

colour of bdellium.

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

ground [it] in

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

made cakes of it:

and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

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

manna fell upon

it.

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

families, every

man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was

kindled greatly;

Moses also was displeased.

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

afflicted thy

servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight,

that thou layest

the burden of all this people upon me?

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

that thou

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

father beareth

the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their

fathers?

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

people? for they

weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

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

[it is] too

heavy for me.

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

out of hand, if

I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my

wretchedness.

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

men of the

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

people, and

officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the

congregation,

that they may stand there with thee.

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

will take of

the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them;

and they shall

bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not

thyself

alone.

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

against to morrow,

and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD,

saying, Who

shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt:

therefore the

LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

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

neither ten

days, nor twenty days;

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

nostrils, and it

be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD

which [is] among

you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of

Egypt?

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

six hundred

thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,

that they may

eat a whole month.

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

suffice them?

or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them,

to suffice

them?

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

short? thou

shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or

not.

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

the LORD, and

gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set

them round about

the tabernacle.

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

and took of

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

elders: and it

came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they

prophesied, and

did not cease.

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

name of the one

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

rested upon them;

and they [were] of them that were written, but went not out unto

the

tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

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

Eldad and Medad

do prophesy in the camp.

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

of his young

men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

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

would God that

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

put his spirit

upon them!

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

Israel.

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

quails from

the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's

journey on this

side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round

about the camp,

and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the earth.

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

night, and all

the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered

least gathered

ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves

round about the

camp.

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

it was

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

and the LORD

smote the people with a very great plague.

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

because there

they buried the people that lusted.

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

Hazeroth; and

abode at Hazeroth.

==== <NU12>

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

Ethiopian

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

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

Moses? hath he not

spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].

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

which [were]

upon the face of the earth.)

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

and unto

Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the

congregation. And they

three came out.

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

stood [in] the

door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they

both came forth.

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

among you, [I]

the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will

speak unto

him in a dream.

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

mine house.

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

and not in

dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:

wherefore then

were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

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

he departed.

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

behold, Miriam

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

and, behold,

[she was] leprous.

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

thee, lay not

the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we

have sinned.

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

consumed when

he cometh out of his mother's womb.

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

God, I

beseech thee.

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

spit in her

face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out

from the camp

seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].

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

the people

journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

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

pitched in the

wilderness of Paran.

==== <NU13>

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

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

which I give

unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers

shall ye send a

man, every one a ruler among them.

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

the

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

of Israel.

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

Shammua the son

of Zaccur.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Manasseh, Gaddi

the son of Susi.

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

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

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

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

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

spy out the

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

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

said unto

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

mountain:

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

dwelleth

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

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

[be] good or

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

tents, or in

strong holds;

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

whether there

be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of

the fruit of

the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes.

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

wilderness of Zin

unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

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

where Ahiman,

Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron

was built seven

years before Zoan in Egypt.)

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

from thence a

branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two

upon a staff;

and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

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

cluster of

grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

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

forty days.

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

all the

congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of

Paran, to

Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the

congregation, and

showed them the fruit of the land.

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

whither thou

sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this

[is] the fruit

of it.

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

land, and the

cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the

children of

Anak there.

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

Hittites, and

the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the

Canaanites

dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

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

Let us go up at

once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

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

to go up

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

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

they had

searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through

which we have

gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants

thereof; and all

the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.

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

come] of the

giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we

were in their

sight.

==== <NU14>

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

cried; and the

people wept that night.

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

and against

Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that

we had died

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

wilderness!

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

to fall by the

sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it

not better

for us to return into Egypt?

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

and let us

return into Egypt.

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

assembly of

the congregation of the children of Israel.

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

Jephunneh, [which

were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

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

Israel,

saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an

exceeding good

land.

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

this land, and

give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

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

people of the

land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed

from them, and

the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.

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

And the glory

of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation

before all the

children of Israel.

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

people provoke me?

and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs

which I have

showed among them?

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

them, and will

make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

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

hear [it],

(for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;

)

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

land: [for] they

have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou

LORD art seen

face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and

[that] thou goest

before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar

of fire by

night.

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

then the

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

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

into the land

which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the

wilderness.

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

great,

according as thou hast spoken, saying,

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

forgiving iniquity

and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty],

visiting the

iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and

fourth

[generation].

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

according unto

the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this

people, from Egypt

even until now.

NU-14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy

word:

NU-14:21 But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be

filled with the

glory of the LORD.

NU-14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my

miracles,

which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me

now these ten

times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

NU-14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto

their fathers,

neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

NU-14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit

with him, and

hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto

he went; and

his seed shall possess it.

NU-14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the

valley.) To

morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of

the Red sea.

NU-14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

NU-14:27 How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation,

which murmur

against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of

Israel, which they

murmur against me.

NU-14:28 Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD,

as ye have

spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

NU-14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all

that were

numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty

years old and

upward, which have murmured against me,

NU-14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,

[concerning] which I

sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,

and Joshua

the son of Nun.

NU-14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,

them will I

bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

NU-14:32 But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in

this wilderness.

NU-14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty

years, and

bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the

wilderness.

NU-14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the

land, [even]

forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities,

[even] forty

years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

NU-14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all

this evil

congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this

wilderness they

shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

NU-14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who

returned, and

made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up

a slander upon

the land,

NU-14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon

the land, died

by the plague before the LORD.

NU-14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of

Jephunneh, [which

were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still].

NU-14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of

Israel: and

the people mourned greatly.

NU-14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up

into the top

of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto

the place which

the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

NU-14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the

commandment of

the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

NU-14:42 Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be

not smitten

before your enemies.

NU-14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there

before you, and ye

shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the

LORD, therefore

the LORD will not be with you.

NU-14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top:

nevertheless the ark

of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the

camp.

NU-14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites

which dwelt in

that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto

Hormah.

==== <NU15>

NU-15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye be come

into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

NU-15:3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a

burnt offering, or

a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or

in your solemn

feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of

the flock:

NU-15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD

bring a meat

offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth [part]

of an hin of

oil.

NU-15:5 And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a drink

offering shalt

thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

NU-15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering

two tenth

deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an hin of oil.

NU-15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third

[part] of an hin

of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.

NU-15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt

offering, or [for] a

sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:

NU-15:9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of

three tenth

deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

NU-15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin

of wine, [for]

an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

NU-15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram,

or for a

lamb, or a kid.

NU-15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so

shall ye do to

every one according to their number.

NU-15:13 All that are born of the country shall do these things

after this

manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour

unto the LORD.

NU-15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be]

among you in

your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a

sweet savour

unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

NU-15:15 One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the

congregation, and also

for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for

ever in your

generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the

LORD.

NU-15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the

stranger that

sojourneth with you.

NU-15:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye come

into the land whither I bring you,

NU-15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of

the land, ye

shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

NU-15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough

[for] an heave

offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor,

so shall ye

heave it.

NU-15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD

an heave

offering in your generations.

NU-15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these

commandments, which

the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

NU-15:23 [Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the

hand of Moses,

from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward

among your

generations;

NU-15:24 Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by ignorance

without the

knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall

offer one young

bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD,

with his meat

offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and

one kid of the

goats for a sin offering.

NU-15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the

congregation of

the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it

[is] ignorance:

and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire

unto the LORD,

and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

NU-15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the

children of

Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all

the people

[were] in ignorance.

NU-15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall

bring a she

goat of the first year for a sin offering.

NU-15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul

that sinneth

ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to

make an atonement

for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

NU-15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through

ignorance, [both

for] him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the

stranger that

sojourneth among them.

NU-15:30 But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously,

[whether he be] born

in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and

that soul shall

be cut off from among his people.

NU-15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and

hath broken his

commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity

[shall be] upon

him.

NU-15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the

wilderness, they found

a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

NU-15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him

unto Moses and

Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

NU-15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared

what should be

done to him.

NU-15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely

put to death:

all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the

camp.

NU-15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp,

and stoned

him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

NU-15:37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that

they make them

fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their

generations, and

that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

NU-15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may

look upon it, and

remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that

ye seek not

after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go

a whoring:

NU-15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and

be holy unto

your God.

NU-15:41 I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the

land of

Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God.

==== <NU16>

NU-16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son

of Levi, and

Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,

sons of

Reuben, took [men]:

NU-16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the

children of

Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in

the

congregation, men of renown:

NU-16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and

against

Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing

all the

congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is]

among them:

wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of

the LORD?

NU-16:4 And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:

NU-16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company,

saying, Even to

morrow the LORD will show who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and

will cause

[him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will

he cause to

come near unto him.

NU-16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

NU-16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before

the LORD to

morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose,

he [shall

be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

NU-16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of

Levi:

NU-16:9 [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God

of Israel hath

separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near

to himself to

do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand

before the

congregation to minister unto them?

NU-16:10 And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy

brethren the

sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

NU-16:11 For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are]

gathered

together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur

against him?

NU-16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of

Eliab: which

said, We will not come up:

NU-16:13 [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out

of a land

that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,

except thou

make thyself altogether a prince over us?

NU-16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that

floweth with milk

and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt

thou put out

the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

NU-16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD,

Respect not thou

their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have

I hurt one of

them.

NU-16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company

before the

LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

NU-16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them,

and bring ye

before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty

censers; thou

also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer.

NU-16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in

them, and laid

incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation

with Moses and Aaron.

NU-16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them

unto the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD

appeared unto

all the congregation.

NU-16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

NU-16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that

I may consume

them in a moment.

NU-16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the

God of the

spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth

with all the

congregation?

NU-16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from

about the

tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

NU-16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and

the elders of

Israel followed him.

NU-16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I

pray you, from

the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest

ye be

consumed in all their sins.

NU-16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan,

and Abiram, on

every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the

door of their

tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little

children.

NU-16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD

hath sent me to

do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own

mind.

NU-16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if

they be visited

after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent

me.

NU-16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open

her mouth, and

swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they

go down quick

into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have

provoked the LORD.

NU-16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking

all these

words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them:

NU-16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up,

and their

houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all

[their] goods.

NU-16:33 They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down

alive into the

pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from

among the

congregation.

NU-16:34 And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at

the cry of them:

for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].

NU-16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed

the two

hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

NU-16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that

he take up the

censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder;

for they are

hallowed.

NU-16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls,

let them make

them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they

offered them before

the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign

unto the

children of Israel.

NU-16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers,

wherewith they that

were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a

covering of

the altar:

NU-16:40 [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that

no stranger,

which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense

before the

LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD

said to him by

the hand of Moses.

NU-16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children

of Israel

murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed

the people of

the LORD.

NU-16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was

gathered against

Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle

of the

congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory

of the LORD

appeared.

NU-16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the

congregation.

NU-16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may

consume them as

in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

NU-16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire

therein from

off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the

congregation, and

make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the

LORD; the

plague is begun.

NU-16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the

midst of the

congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people:

and he put

on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

NU-16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the

plague was

stayed.

NU-16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen

thousand and seven

hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

NU-16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the

tabernacle of the

congregation: and the plague was stayed.

==== <NU17>

NU-17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every

one of them a

rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their

princes according

to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every

man's name upon

his rod.

NU-17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi:

for one rod

[shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.

NU-17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the

congregation

before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

NU-17:5 And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I

shall choose,

shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings

of the children

of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

NU-17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every

one of their

princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to

their

fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was]

among their

rods.

NU-17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the

tabernacle of

witness.

NU-17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into

the

tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the

house of Levi was

budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and

yielded almonds.

NU-17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD

unto all the

children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

NU-17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again

before the

testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou

shalt quite

take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

NU-17:11 And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did

he.

NU-17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,

Behold, we die,

we perish, we all perish.

NU-17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of

the LORD

shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

==== <NU18>

NU-18:1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy

father's

house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and

thou and thy

sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

NU-18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe

of thy father,

bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and

minister unto

thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before

the tabernacle

of witness.

NU-18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all

the tabernacle:

only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and

the altar, that

neither they, nor ye also, die.

NU-18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge

of the

tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the

tabernacle: and a

stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

NU-18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the

charge of the

altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of

Israel.

NU-18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites

from among the

children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the

LORD, to do

the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

NU-18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your

priest's office

for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall

serve: I have

given your priest's office [unto you as] a service of gift: and

the stranger

that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

NU-18:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have

given thee the

charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the

children of

Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing,

and to thy

sons, by an ordinance for ever.

NU-18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved]

from the

fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs,

and every sin

offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which

they shall

render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.

NU-18:10 In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male

shall eat it:

it shall be holy unto thee.

NU-18:11 And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift,

with all the

wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto

thee, and to

thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever:

every one that

is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

NU-18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine,

and of the

wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the

LORD, them have

I given thee.

NU-18:13 [And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they

shall bring

unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine

house shall

eat [of] it.

NU-18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

NU-18:15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh,

which they bring

unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine:

nevertheless

the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling

of unclean

beasts shalt thou redeem.

NU-18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old

shalt thou

redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five

shekels, after

the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs.

NU-18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a

sheep, or the

firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy:

thou shalt

sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat

[for] an

offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

NU-18:18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave

breast and as the

right shoulder are thine.

NU-18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the

children of

Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and

thy daughters

with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for

ever before

the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

NU-18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no

inheritance in

their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am]

thy part and

thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

NU-18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the

tenth in

Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve,

[even] the

service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

NU-18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come

nigh the

tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

NU-18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle

of the

congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be]

a statute for

ever throughout your generations, that among the children of

Israel they have

no inheritance.

NU-18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they

offer [as] an

heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to

inherit:

therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel

they shall have

no inheritance.

NU-18:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When

ye take of the

children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them

for your

inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for

the LORD,

[even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.

NU-18:27 And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto

you, as though

[it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of

the winepress.

NU-18:28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the

LORD of all your

tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall

give thereof

the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

NU-18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave

offering of the

LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof

out of it.

NU-18:30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have

heaved the best

thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as

the increase of

the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

NU-18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your

households: for it

[is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the

congregation.

NU-18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have

heaved from

it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of

the children of

Israel, lest ye die.

==== <NU19>

NU-19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

NU-19:2 This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath

commanded,

saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee

a red heifer

without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never

came yoke:

NU-19:3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he

may bring her

forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:

NU-19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his

finger, and

sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the

congregation seven

times:

NU-19:5 And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin,

and her

flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

NU-19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and

scarlet, and

cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

NU-19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall

bathe his flesh

in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the

priest shall be

unclean until the even.

NU-19:8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water,

and bathe

his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

NU-19:9 And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of

the heifer,

and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it

shall be kept for

the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of

separation: it [is]

a purification for sin.

NU-19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall

wash his

clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the

children of

Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a

statute for

ever.

NU-19:11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be

unclean seven

days.

NU-19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and

on the seventh

day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third

day, then the

seventh day he shall not be clean.

NU-19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is

dead, and

purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and

that soul

shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation

was not

sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is]

yet upon him.

NU-19:14 This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all

that come into

the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven

days.

NU-19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound

upon it, [is]

unclean.

NU-19:16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword

in the open

fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be

unclean seven

days.

NU-19:17 And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the

ashes of the

burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be

put thereto

in a vessel:

NU-19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in

the water, and

sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon

the persons

that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain,

or one dead,

or a grave:

NU-19:19 And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean

on the third

day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall

purify himself,

and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be

clean at even.

NU-19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not

purify himself,

that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because

he hath

defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath

not been

sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.

NU-19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he

that

sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and

he that

toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

NU-19:22 And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be

unclean; and

the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.

==== <NU20>

NU-20:1 Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole

congregation, into

the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in

Kadesh; and

Miriam died there, and was buried there.

NU-20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they

gathered

themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

NU-20:3 And the people chided with Moses, and spake, saying,

Would God that

we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

NU-20:4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD

into this

wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

NU-20:5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt,

to bring us in

unto this evil place? it [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or

of vines, or of

pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.

NU-20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the

assembly unto the

door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon

their faces:

and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

NU-20:7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together,

thou, and Aaron

thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and

it shall give

forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of

the rock: so

thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

NU-20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he

commanded him.

NU-20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together

before the

rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch

you water out

of this rock?

NU-20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he

smote the rock

twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation

drank, and

their beasts [also].

NU-20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye

believed me not,

to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore

ye shall not

bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

NU-20:13 This [is] the water of Meribah, because the children

of Israel

strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

NU-20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of

Edom, Thus

saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath

befallen us:

NU-20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have

dwelt in Egypt a

long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

NU-20:16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice,

and sent an

angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we

[are] in

Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

NU-20:17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will

not pass

through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we

drink [of] the

water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will

not turn to

the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

NU-20:18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me,

lest I come out

against thee with the sword.

NU-20:19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go

by the high

way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay

for it: I will

only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.

NU-20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came

out against

him with much people, and with a strong hand.

NU-20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his

border:

wherefore Israel turned away from him.

NU-20:22 And the children of Israel, [even] the whole

congregation, journeyed

from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

NU-20:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor,

by the coast

of the land of Edom, saying,

NU-20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall

not enter into

the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because

ye rebelled

against my word at the water of Meribah.

NU-20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto

mount Hor:

NU-20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon

Eleazar his son:

and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die

there.

NU-20:27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up

into mount Hor

in the sight of all the congregation.

NU-20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them

upon Eleazar

his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses

and Eleazar

came down from the mount.

NU-20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead,

they mourned

for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.

==== <NU21>

NU-21:1 And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the

south, heard

tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought

against Israel,

and took [some] of them prisoners.

NU-21:2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou

wilt indeed

deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy

their cities.

NU-21:3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and

delivered up the

Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities:

and he called

the name of the place Hormah.

NU-21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red

sea, to

compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much

discouraged

because of the way.

NU-21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses,

Wherefore have

ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for

[there is] no

bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this

light bread.

NU-21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and

they bit the

people; and much people of Israel died.

NU-21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have

sinned, for we

have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the

LORD, that he

take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

NU-21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,

and set it

upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is

bitten, when he

looketh upon it, shall live.

NU-21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a

pole, and it

came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he

beheld the serpent

of brass, he lived.

NU-21:10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in

Oboth.

NU-21:11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at

Ijeabarim, in the

wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising.

NU-21:12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of

Zared.

NU-21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other

side of Arnon,

which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of

the Amorites:

for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

NU-21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the

LORD, What he

did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

NU-21:15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the

dwelling of

Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

NU-21:16 And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the

well whereof the

LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will

give them water.

NU-21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye

unto it:

NU-21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people

digged it, by

[the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the

wilderness

[they went] to Mattanah:

NU-21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to

Bamoth:

NU-21:20 And from Bamoth [in] the valley that [is] in the

country of Moab, to

the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

NU-21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the

Amorites, saying,

NU-21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into

the fields, or

into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the

well: [but] we

will go along by the king's [high] way, until we be past thy

borders.

NU-21:23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his

border: but

Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against

Israel into the

wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

NU-21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and

possessed his

land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon:

for the border

of the children of Ammon [was] strong.

NU-21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in

all the cities

of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.

NU-21:26 For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the

Amorites, who

had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his

land out of his

hand, even unto Arnon.

NU-21:27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into

Heshbon, let

the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

NU-21:28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from

the city of

Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high

places of

Arnon.

NU-21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of

Chemosh: he hath

given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity

unto Sihon king

of the Amorites.

NU-21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto

Dibon, and we

have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto

Medeba.

NU-21:31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

NU-21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the

villages

thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.

NU-21:33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and

Og the king of

Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the

battle at Edrei.

NU-21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have

delivered him

into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt

do to him as

thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at

Heshbon.

NU-21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people,

until there was

none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

==== <NU22>

NU-22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in

the plains of

Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.

NU-22:2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had

done to the

Amorites.

NU-22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they

[were] many: and

Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

NU-22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this

company lick

up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass

of the field.

And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that

time.

NU-22:5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of

Beor to Pethor,

which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his

people, to call

him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt:

behold, they cover

the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:

NU-22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people;

for they [are]

too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, [that] we may

smite them, and

[that] I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom

thou blessest

[is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

NU-22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian

departed with the

rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam,

and spake unto

him the words of Balak.

NU-22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I

will bring you

word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of

Moab abode

with Balaam.

NU-22:9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are]

these with thee?

NU-22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor,

king of Moab,

hath sent unto me, [saying],

NU-22:11 Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which

covereth the

face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall

be able to

overcome them, and drive them out.

NU-22:12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them;

thou shalt

not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.

NU-22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the

princes of

Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me

leave to go

with you.

NU-22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto

Balak, and said,

Balaam refuseth to come with us.

NU-22:15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more

honourable than

they.

NU-22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith

Balak the son

of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming

unto me:

NU-22:17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I

will do

whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee,

curse me this

people.

NU-22:18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of

Balak, If Balak

would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go

beyond the word

of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

NU-22:19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this

night, that I may

know what the LORD will say unto me more.

NU-22:20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him,

If the men

come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but yet the word

which I shall

say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

NU-22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass,

and went

with the princes of Moab.

NU-22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the

angel of the

LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was

riding upon his

ass, and his two servants [were] with him.

NU-22:23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the

way, and his

sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way,

and went

into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the

way.

NU-22:24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the

vineyards, a wall

[being] on this side, and a wall on that side.

NU-22:25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust

herself unto

the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he

smote her again.

NU-22:26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a

narrow place,

where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the

left.

NU-22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell

down under

Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass

with a staff.

NU-22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said

unto Balaam,

What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these

three times?

NU-22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked

me: I would

there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

NU-22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass,

upon which thou

hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this day? was I ever

wont to do so

unto thee? And he said, Nay.

NU-22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw

the angel of the

LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and

he bowed down

his head, and fell flat on his face.

NU-22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore

hast thou smitten

thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand

thee, because

[thy] way is perverse before me:

NU-22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three

times: unless she

had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved

her alive.

NU-22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have

sinned; for I

knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore,

if it

displease thee, I will get me back again.

NU-22:35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with

the men: but

only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt

speak. So Balaam

went with the princes of Balak.

NU-22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out

to meet him

unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which

[is] in the

utmost coast.

NU-22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send

unto thee to

call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able

indeed to promote

thee to honour?

NU-22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee:

have I now any

power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my

mouth, that

shall I speak.

NU-22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto

Kirjathhuzoth.

NU-22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam,

and to the

princes that [were] with him.

NU-22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took

Balaam, and

brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he

might see the

utmost [part] of the people.

==== <NU23>

NU-23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars,

and prepare

me here seven oxen and seven rams.

NU-23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and

Balaam offered on

[every] altar a bullock and a ram.

NU-23:3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering,

and I will

go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever

he showeth me I

will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

NU-23:4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have

prepared seven

altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a

ram.

NU-23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,

Return unto

Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

NU-23:6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his

burnt sacrifice,

he, and all the princes of Moab.

NU-23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of

Moab hath

brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying],

Come, curse

me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

NU-23:8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how

shall I defy,

[whom] the LORD hath not defied?

NU-23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the

hills I behold

him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned

among the

nations.

NU-23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the

fourth [part]

of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my

last end be like

his!

NU-23:11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto

me? I took thee

to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them]

altogether.

NU-23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to

speak that which

the LORD hath put in my mouth?

NU-23:13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me

unto another

place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the

utmost part of

them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

NU-23:14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the

top of Pisgah,

and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on

[every] altar.

NU-23:15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt

offering, while I

meet [the LORD] yonder.

NU-23:16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth,

and said, Go

again unto Balak, and say thus.

NU-23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt

offering, and

the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath

the LORD

spoken?

NU-23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak,

and hear;

hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

NU-23:19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the

son of man, that

he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or

hath he spoken,

and shall he not make it good?

NU-23:20 Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he

hath blessed;

and I cannot reverse it.

NU-23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he

seen

perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the

shout of a

king [is] among them.

NU-23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the

strength of an

unicorn.

NU-23:23 Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob,

neither [is there]

any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall

be said of

Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

NU-23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and

lift up

himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat [of]

the prey, and

drink the blood of the slain.

NU-23:25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all,

nor bless

them at all.

NU-23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I

thee, saying,

All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

NU-23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will

bring thee

unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou

mayest curse me

them from thence.

NU-23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that

looketh toward

Jeshimon.

NU-23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars,

and prepare

me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

NU-23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a

bullock and a ram on

[every] altar.

==== <NU24>

NU-24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless

Israel, he went

not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his

face toward

the wilderness.

NU-24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel

abiding [in his

tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came

upon him.

NU-24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of

Beor hath

said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

NU-24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw

the vision of

the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:

NU-24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy

tabernacles, O Israel!

NU-24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the

river's side,

as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as

cedar trees

beside the waters.

NU-24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his

seed [shall be]

in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his

kingdom shall

be exalted.

NU-24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were

the strength

of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and

shall break their

bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.

NU-24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion:

who shall

stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is]

he that

curseth thee.

NU-24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he

smote his hands

together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse

mine enemies,

and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three

times.

NU-24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to

promote thee unto

great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.

NU-24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy

messengers which

thou sentest unto me, saying,

NU-24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and

gold, I cannot

go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or

bad of mine own

mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

NU-24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore,

and] I will

advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the

latter days.

NU-24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son

of Beor hath

said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

NU-24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew

the knowledge

of the most High, [which] saw the vision of the Almighty,

falling [into a

trance], but having his eyes open:

NU-24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but

not nigh:

there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise

out of Israel,

and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the

children of Sheth.

NU-24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a

possession for

his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

NU-24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,

and shall

destroy him that remaineth of the city.

NU-24:20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable,

and said,

Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall

be] that he

perish for ever.

NU-24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable,

and said,

Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

NU-24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur

shall carry

thee away captive.

NU-24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall

live when God

doeth this!

NU-24:24 And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and

shall afflict

Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for

ever.

NU-24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place:

and Balak

also went his way.

==== <NU25>

NU-25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to

commit whoredom

with the daughters of Moab.

NU-25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their

gods: and the

people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

NU-25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger

of the LORD

was kindled against Israel.

NU-25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the

people, and

hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce

anger of the

LORD may be turned away from Israel.

NU-25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every

one his men

that were joined unto Baalpeor.

NU-25:6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and

brought unto his

brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the

sight of all

the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping

[before] the

door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

NU-25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron

the priest,

saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a

javelin in his

hand;

NU-25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and

thrust both of

them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.

So the

plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

NU-25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four

thousand.

NU-25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the

priest, hath

turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was

zealous for my

sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in

my jealousy.

NU-25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of

peace:

NU-25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even]

the covenant of

an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God,

and made an

atonement for the children of Israel.

NU-25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even]

that was slain

with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a

prince of a chief

house among the Simeonites.

NU-25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain

[was] Cozbi,

the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a

chief house in

Midian.

NU-25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

NU-25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have

beguiled you

in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter

of a prince of

Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague

for Peor's

sake.

==== <NU26>

NU-26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD

spake unto Moses

and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

NU-26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of

Israel, from

twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house,

all that are

able to go to war in Israel.

NU-26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the

plains of

Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,

NU-26:4 [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and

upward; as

the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went

forth out of

the land of Egypt.

This [is that]

Dathan and Abiram, [which were] famous in the congregation, who

strove against

Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they

strove against the

LORD:

NU-26:10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up

together with

Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two

hundred and

fifty men: and they became a sign.

NU-26:11 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

NU-26:51 These [were] the numbered of the children of Israel,

six hundred

thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

NU-26:52 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-26:53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an

inheritance according to

the number of names.

NU-26:54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to

few thou shalt

give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be

given

according to those that were numbered of him.

NU-26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot:

according to the

names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

NU-26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be

divided between

NU-26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange

fire before the

LORD.

NU-26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and

three thousand,

all males from a month old and upward: for they were not

numbered among the

children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them

among the

children of Israel.

NU-26:63 These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and

Eleazar the priest,

who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by

Jordan [near]

Jericho.

NU-26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses

and Aaron the

priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in

the wilderness

of Sinai.

NU-26:65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die

in the

wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the

son of

Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

==== <NU27>

NU-27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of

Hepher, the son of

Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families

of Manasseh

the son of Joseph: and these [are] the names of his daughters;

Mahlah, Noah,

and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

NU-27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the

priest, and

before the princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of

the tabernacle

of the congregation, saying,

NU-27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in

the company of

them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the

company of

Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

NU-27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from

among his family,

because he hath no son? Give unto us [therefore] a possession

among the

brethren of our father.

NU-27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

NU-27:6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt

surely give them

a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren;

and thou shalt

cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

NU-27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,

saying, If a man

die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to

pass unto his

daughter.

NU-27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his

inheritance unto

his brethren.

NU-27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his

inheritance unto

his father's brethren.

NU-27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give

his

inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family,

and he shall

possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a

statute of judgment,

as the LORD commanded Moses.

NU-27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this

mount Abarim,

and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

NU-27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be

gathered unto thy

people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

NU-27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert

of Zin, in the

strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before

their eyes:

that [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of

Zin.

NU-27:15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

NU-27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set

a man over

the congregation,

NU-27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in

before them, and

which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the

congregation of

the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

NU-27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son

of Nun, a man

in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

NU-27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all

the

congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

NU-27:20 And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour upon him,

that all the

congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

NU-27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who

shall ask

[counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at

his word

shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he,

and all the

children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

NU-27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took

Joshua, and set

him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

NU-27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge,

as the LORD

commanded by the hand of Moses.

==== <NU28>

NU-28:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My

offering, [and]

my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour

unto me, shall

ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.

NU-28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering

made by fire

which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year

without spot

day by day, [for] a continual burnt offering.

NU-28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the

other lamb

shalt thou offer at even;

NU-28:5 And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat

offering, mingled

with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil.

NU-28:6 [It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained

in mount Sinai

for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

NU-28:7 And the drink offering thereof [shall be] the fourth

[part] of an hin

for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the

strong wine to be

poured unto the LORD [for] a drink offering.

NU-28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the

meat offering of

the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer

[it], a

sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

NU-28:9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year

without spot, and

two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil,

and the

drink offering thereof:

NU-28:10 [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside

the continual

burnt offering, and his drink offering.

NU-28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a

burnt offering

unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of

the first year

without spot;

NU-28:12 And three tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering,

mingled with

oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat

offering,

mingled with oil, for one ram;

NU-28:13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil

[for] a meat

offering unto one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a sweet savour,

a sacrifice

made by fire unto the LORD.

NU-28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine

unto a

bullock, and the third [part] of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth

[part] of an

hin unto a lamb: this [is] the burnt offering of every month

throughout the

months of the year.

NU-28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the

LORD shall be

offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink

offering.

NU-28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the

passover of

the LORD.

NU-28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast:

seven days

shall unleavened bread be eaten.

NU-28:18 In the first day [shall be] an holy convocation; ye

shall do no

manner of servile work [therein]:

NU-28:19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire [for] a

burnt offering

unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs

of the first

year: they shall be unto you without blemish:

NU-28:20 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled

with oil: three

tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals

for a ram;

NU-28:21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb,

throughout the

seven lambs:

NU-28:22 And one goat [for] a sin offering, to make an

atonement for you.

NU-28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the

morning, which

[is] for a continual burnt offering.

NU-28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the

seven days,

the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto

the LORD: it

shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his

drink offering.

NU-28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy

convocation; ye shall

do no servile work.

NU-28:26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a

new meat

offering unto the LORD, after your weeks [be out], ye shall have

an holy

convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

NU-28:27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet

savour unto the

LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;

NU-28:28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil,

three tenth deals

unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,

NU-28:29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the

seven lambs;

NU-28:30 [And] one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for

NU-28:31 Ye shall offer [them] beside the continual burnt

their drink

offerings.

==== <NU29>

NU-29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first [day] of the

unto the LORD;

one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year

without

blemish:

offerings,

according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice

made by fire unto

the LORD.

NU-29:7 And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh

month an holy

convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do

any work

[therein]:

NU-29:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD [for]

NU-29:25 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside

the continual

burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

NU-29:26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, [and]

fourteen lambs

of the first year without spot:

NU-29:27 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for

the bullocks,

for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their

number, after

the manner:

NU-29:28 And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the

continual burnt

offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.

NU-29:29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, [and]

fourteen lambs

of the first year without blemish:

NU-29:30 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for

the bullocks,

for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their

number, after

the manner:

NU-29:31 And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the

continual burnt

offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

NU-29:32 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, [and]

fourteen

lambs of the first year without blemish:

NU-29:33 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for

the bullocks,

for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their

number, after

the manner:

NU-29:34 And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the

continual burnt

offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

NU-29:35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye

shall do no

servile work [therein]:

NU-29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made

by fire, of a

sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of

the first

year without blemish:

NU-29:37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the

bullock, for

the ram, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number,

after the

manner:

NU-29:38 And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the

continual burnt

offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.

NU-29:39 These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set

feasts, beside

your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings,

and for your

meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace

offerings.

NU-29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all

that the LORD

commanded Moses.

==== <NU30>

NU-30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning

the children

of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath

commanded.

NU-30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to

bind his soul

with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according

to all that

proceedeth out of his mouth.

NU-30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind

[herself] by a

bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;

NU-30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she

hath bound

her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all

her vows shall

stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall

stand.

NU-30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he

heareth; not any of

her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul,

shall stand: and

the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

NU-30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or

uttered ought

out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

NU-30:7 And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her

in the day that

he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds

wherewith she bound

her soul shall stand.

NU-30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he

heard [it]; then

he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she

uttered with her

lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD

shall forgive

her.

NU-30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,

wherewith they

have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

NU-30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her

soul by a bond

with an oath;

NU-30:11 And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her,

[and]

disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every

bond wherewith

she bound her soul shall stand.

NU-30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the

day he heard

[them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her

vows, or

concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband

hath made them

void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

NU-30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul,

her husband

may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

NU-30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her

from day to day;

then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are]

upon her: he

confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day

that he heard

[them].

NU-30:15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he

hath heard

[them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.

NU-30:16 These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded

Moses, between a

man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being

yet] in her

youth in her father's house.

==== <NU31>

NU-31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:

afterward shalt thou

be gathered unto thy people.

NU-31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of

yourselves unto

the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the

LORD of

Midian.

NU-31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of

Israel, shall

ye send to the war.

NU-31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel,

a thousand of

[every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

NU-31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every]

tribe, them and

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the

holy instruments,

and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

NU-31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD

commanded Moses;

and they slew all the males.

NU-31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of

them that were

slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,

five kings of

Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

NU-31:9 And the children of Israel took [all] the women of

Midian captives,

and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle,

and all their

flocks, and all their goods.

NU-31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt,

and all their

goodly castles, with fire.

NU-31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both]

of men and of

beasts.

NU-31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the

spoil, unto

Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the

children of

Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by

Jordan [near]

Jericho.

NU-31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes

of the

congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

NU-31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,

[with] the

captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came

from the

battle.

NU-31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women

alive?

NU-31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through

the counsel of

Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of

Peor, and there

was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

NU-31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones,

and kill every

woman that hath known man by lying with him.

NU-31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man

by lying with

him, keep alive for yourselves.

NU-31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever

hath killed

any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both]

yourselves and

your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

NU-31:20 And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of

skins, and

all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.

NU-31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which

went to the

battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD

commanded Moses;

NU-31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,

the tin, and the

lead,

NU-31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make

[it] go through

the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be

purified with the

water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall

make go

through the water.

NU-31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and

ye shall be

clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

NU-31:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man

and of beast,

thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the

congregation:

NU-31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that

took the war

upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the

congregation:

NU-31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war

which went out to

battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of

the beeves,

and of the asses, and of the sheep:

NU-31:29 Take [it] of their half, and give [it] unto Eleazar

the priest,

[for] an heave offering of the LORD.

NU-31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take

one portion of

fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the

flocks, of all

manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the

charge of the

tabernacle of the LORD.

NU-31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD

commanded Moses.

NU-31:32 And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the

men of war had

caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five

thousand sheep,

NU-31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

NU-31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,

NU-31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women

that had not

known man by lying with him.

NU-31:36 And the half, [which was] the portion of them that

went out to war,

was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty

thousand and five

hundred sheep:

NU-31:37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred

and threescore

and fifteen.

NU-31:38 And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of

which the LORD'S

tribute [was] threescore and twelve.

NU-31:39 And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred;

of which the

LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one.

NU-31:40 And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the

LORD'S tribute

[was] thirty and two persons.

NU-31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S

heave offering,

unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

NU-31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses

divided from the

men that warred,

NU-31:43 (Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation

was three

hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and

five hundred

sheep,

NU-31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,

NU-31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

NU-31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)

NU-31:47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one

portion of

fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the

Levites, which kept

the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded

Moses.

NU-31:48 And the officers which [were] over thousands of the

host, the

captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto

Moses:

NU-31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the

sum of the men

of war which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one

man of us.

NU-31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD,

what every man

hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,

earrings, and

tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

NU-31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,

[even] all

wrought jewels.

NU-31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up

to the LORD,

of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds,

was sixteen

thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

NU-31:53 ([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for

himself.)

NU-31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the

captains of

thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of

the

congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before

the LORD.

==== <NU32>

NU-32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had

a very great

multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and

the land of

Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;

NU-32:2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and

spake unto

Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the

congregation,

saying,

NU-32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon,

and Elealeh,

and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

NU-32:4 [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the

congregation of

Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

NU-32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy

sight, let this

land be given unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us

not over

Jordan.

NU-32:6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the

children of

Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

NU-32:7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children

of Israel from

going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

NU-32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from

Kadeshbarnea to see the

land.

NU-32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and

saw the land,

they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they

should not go

into the land which the LORD had given them.

NU-32:10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he

sware,

saying,

NU-32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from

twenty years

old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham,

unto Isaac, and

unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

NU-32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and

Joshua the son of

Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

NU-32:13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and

he made them

wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation,

that had done

evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

NU-32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead,

an increase of

sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward

Israel.

NU-32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again

leave them in

the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

NU-32:16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build

sheepfolds here

for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

NU-32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the

children of Israel,

until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones

shall dwell

in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

NU-32:18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children

of Israel

have inherited every man his inheritance.

NU-32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side

Jordan, or forward;

because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan

eastward.

NU-32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if

ye will go

armed before the LORD to war,

NU-32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the

LORD, until he

hath driven out his enemies from before him,

NU-32:22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then

afterward ye shall

return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and

this land

shall be your possession before the LORD.

NU-32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned

against the LORD:

and be sure your sin will find you out.

NU-32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for

your sheep; and

do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

NU-32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

spake unto Moses,

saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

NU-32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our

cattle, shall be

there in the cities of Gilead:

NU-32:27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for

war, before the

LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

NU-32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest,

and Joshua

the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the

children of Israel:

NU-32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and

the children of

Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle,

before the

LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall

give them the

land of Gilead for a possession:

NU-32:30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they

shall have

possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

NU-32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

answered, saying,

As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

NU-32:32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land

of Canaan,

that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may

be] ours.

NU-32:33 And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of

Gad, and to the

children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son

of Joseph, the

kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og

king of Bashan,

the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the

cities of the

country round about.

NU-32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and

Aroer,

NU-32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

NU-32:36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and

folds for sheep.

NU-32:37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh,

and

Kirjathaim,

NU-32:38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,)

and Shibmah:

and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

NU-32:39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to

Gilead, and

took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it.

NU-32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh;

and he dwelt

therein.

NU-32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small

towns thereof,

and called them Havothjair.

NU-32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages

thereof, and called

it Nobah, after his own name.

==== <NU33>

NU-33:1 These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel,

which went forth

out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of

Moses and Aaron.

NU-33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their

journeys by the

commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys

according to their

goings out.

NU-33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on

the fifteenth

day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the

children of

Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the

Egyptians.

NU-33:4 For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which

the LORD had

smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed

judgments.

NU-33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and

pitched in

Succoth.

NU-33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,

which [is] in

the edge of the wilderness.

NU-33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto

Pihahiroth, which

[is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

NU-33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed

through the

midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'

journey in the

wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

NU-33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in

Elim [were]

twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees;

and they pitched

there.

NU-33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red

sea.

NU-33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the

wilderness of

Sin.

NU-33:12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of

Sin, and

encamped in Dophkah.

NU-33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

NU-33:14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim,

where was no

water for the people to drink.

NU-33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the

wilderness of

Sinai.

NU-33:16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched

Kibrothhattaavah.

NU-33:17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped

at Hazeroth.

NU-33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in

Rithmah.

NU-33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at

Rimmonparez.

NU-33:20 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in

Libnah.

NU-33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

NU-33:22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in

Kehelathah.

NU-33:23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount

Shapher.

NU-33:24 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in

Haradah.

NU-33:25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in

Makheloth.

NU-33:26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at

Tahath.

NU-33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

NU-33:28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

NU-33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

NU-33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at

Moseroth.

NU-33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in

Benejaakan.

NU-33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at

Horhagidgad.

NU-33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in

Jotbathah.

NU-33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at

Ebronah.

NU-33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at

Eziongaber.

NU-33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the

wilderness of

Zin, which [is] Kadesh.

NU-33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor,

in the edge

of the land of Edom.

NU-33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the

commandment of

the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the

children of Israel

were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the

fifth month.

NU-33:39 And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three years

old when he

died in mount Hor.

NU-33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south

in the land of

Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

NU-33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in

Zalmonah.

NU-33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

NU-33:43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

NU-33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim,

in the

border of Moab.

NU-33:45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

NU-33:46 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in

Almondiblathaim.

NU-33:47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in

the mountains

of Abarim, before Nebo.

NU-33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and

pitched in the

plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.

NU-33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth [even]

unto

Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

NU-33:50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by

Jordan [near]

Jericho, saying,

NU-33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye are

passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

NU-33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the

land from before

you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their

molten images, and

quite pluck down all their high places:

NU-33:53 And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants of] the land,

and dwell

therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

NU-33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance

among your

families: [and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance,

and to the

fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's

[inheritance] shall be

in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of

your fathers ye

shall inherit.

NU-33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the

land from before

you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain

of them [shall

be] pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex

you in the

land wherein ye dwell.

NU-33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto

you, as I

thought to do unto them.

==== <NU34>

NU-34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When

ye come into

the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall unto you

for an

inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

NU-34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of

Zin along by

the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost

coast of the

salt sea eastward:

NU-34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent

of Akrabbim,

and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from

the south to

Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to

Azmon:

NU-34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto

the river of

Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

NU-34:6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the

great sea for

a border: this shall be your west border.

NU-34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea

ye shall

point out for you mount Hor:

NU-34:8 From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto

the entrance of

Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

NU-34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings

out of it shall

be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

NU-34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan

to Shepham:

NU-34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on

the east side

of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the

side of the sea

of Chinnereth eastward:

NU-34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings

out of it

shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the

coasts thereof

round about.

NU-34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying,

This [is] the

land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to

give unto the

nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

NU-34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to

the house of

their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to

the house of

their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the

tribe of

Manasseh have received their inheritance:

NU-34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their

inheritance on

this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

NU-34:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-34:17 These [are] the names of the men which shall divide

the land unto

you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

NU-34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide

the land by

inheritance.

NU-34:19 And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of

Judah, Caleb

the son of Jephunneh.

NU-34:20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel

the son of

Ammihud.

NU-34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

NU-34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan,

Bukki the son of

Jogli.

NU-34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of

the children

of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

NU-34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim,

Kemuel the

son of Shiphtan.

NU-34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,

Elizaphan

the son of Parnach.

NU-34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of

Issachar, Paltiel the

son of Azzan.

NU-34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher,

Ahihud the son

of Shelomi.

NU-34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of

Naphtali, Pedahel the

son of Ammihud.

NU-34:29 These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the

inheritance

unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

==== <NU35>

NU-35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by

Jordan [near]

Jericho, saying,

NU-35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the

Levites of

the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye

shall give

[also] unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

NU-35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the

suburbs of them

shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all

their beasts.

NU-35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto

the Levites,

[shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand

cubits round

about.

NU-35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east

side two

thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and

on the west

side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand

cubits; and the

city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs

of the cities.

NU-35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the

Levites [there

shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the

manslayer,

that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two

cities.

NU-35:7 [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites

[shall be]

forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.

NU-35:8 And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the

possession of

the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give

many; but

from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall

give of his

cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he

inheriteth.

NU-35:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

NU-35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When ye be

come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

NU-35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of

refuge for you;

that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at

unawares.

NU-35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the

avenger; that

the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in

judgment.

NU-35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities

shall ye have for

refuge.

NU-35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and

three cities

shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of

refuge.

NU-35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the

children of

Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them:

that every one

that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

NU-35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so

that he die, he

[is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

NU-35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith

he may die, and

he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to

death.

NU-35:18 Or [if] he smite him with an hand weapon of wood,

wherewith he may

die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely

be put to

death.

NU-35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:

when he

meeteth him, he shall slay him.

NU-35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by

laying of wait,

that he die;

NU-35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he

that smote

[him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer:

the revenger of

blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

NU-35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have

cast upon him

any thing without laying of wait,

NU-35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing

[him] not, and

cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not his enemy,

neither sought his

harm:

NU-35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer

and the

revenger of blood according to these judgments:

NU-35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of

the hand of the

revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the

city of his

refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the

death of the

high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

NU-35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the

border of the

city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

NU-35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders

of the city

of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he

shall not be

guilty of blood:

NU-35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of his

refuge until the

death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest

the slayer

shall return into the land of his possession.

NU-35:29 So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment

unto you

throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

NU-35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to

death by the

mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against

any person [to

cause him] to die.

NU-35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of

a murderer,

which [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

NU-35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled

to the city

of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land,

until the death

of the priest.

NU-35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are]: for

blood it

defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood

that is shed

therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

NU-35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit,

wherein I

dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

==== <NU36>

NU-36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children

of Gilead, the

son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons

of Joseph,

came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the

chief fathers

of the children of Israel:

NU-36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the

land for an

inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was

commanded by the

LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his

daughters.

NU-36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the

[other] tribes of

the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken

from the

inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance

of the tribe

whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot

of our

inheritance.

NU-36:4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be,

then shall

their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe

whereunto they are

received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the

inheritance of the

tribe of our fathers.

NU-36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to

the word of

the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

NU-36:6 This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command

concerning the

daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they

think best; only

to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

NU-36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel

remove from

tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall

keep himself to

the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

NU-36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in

any tribe of

the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of

the tribe of

her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the

inheritance of

his fathers.

NU-36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe

to another

tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel

shall keep

himself to his own inheritance.

NU-36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters

Zelophehad:

NU-36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,

the daughters

of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:

NU-36:12 [And] they were married into the families of the sons

of Manasseh

the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe

of the family

of their father.

NU-36:13 These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which

the LORD

commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in

the plains of

Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
