Chapter 1
1 ¶ And
the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of
Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the
second
month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of
Egypt,
saying,
2
Take ye the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the
house of
their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their
polls;
3
From twenty years old and
upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron
shall
number them by their armies.
4
And with you there shall be a
man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.
5
And these are the names of the

18
And they assembled all the
congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they
declared
their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according
to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their

hundred.
36

their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward,
all
that were able to go forth to war;
37
Those that were numbered of
them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and
four
hundred.
38

So were all those that were

46
Even all they that were
numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred
and
fifty.
47
¶ But the Levites after the
tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48
For the LORD had spoken unto
Moses, saying,
49
Only thou shalt not number the
tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of
Israel:
50
But thou shalt appoint the
Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels
thereof, and
over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and
all the
vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp
round about
the tabernacle.
51
And when the tabernacle setteth
forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to
be
pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall
be put to death.
52
And the children of Israel
shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by
his own
standard, throughout their hosts.
53
But the Levites shall pitch
round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon
the
congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the
charge
of the tabernacle of testimony.
54
And the children of Israel did
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

¶ These also are the generations
of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount
Sinai.
2
And these are the names of the
sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3
These are the names of the sons
of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to
minister in
the priest's office.
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.
5
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
6
Bring the tribe of Levi near,
and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto
him.
7
And they shall keep his charge,
and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the
congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8
And they shall keep all the
instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of
the
children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9
And thou shalt give the Levites
unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the
children
of Israel.
10
And thou shalt appoint Aaron
and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the
stranger
that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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;
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.
14
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses
in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15
Number the children of Levi
after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a
month
old and upward shalt thou number them.
16
And Moses numbered them
according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
17
And these were the sons of Levi
by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
18
And these are the names of the
sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
19
And the sons of Kohath by their
families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20
And the sons of Merari by their
families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
according to
the house of their fathers.
21
Of Gershon was the family of
the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of
the
Gershonites.
22
Those that were numbered of
them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward,
even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five
hundred.
23
The families of the Gershonites
shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
24
And the chief of the house of
the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25
And the charge of the sons of
Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle,
and the
tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the
tabernacle of
the congregation,
26
And the hangings of the court,
and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle,
and by
the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
27
And of Kohath was the family of
the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the
Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of
the
Kohathites.
28
In the number of all the males,
from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred,
keeping the
charge of the sanctuary.
29
The families of the sons of
Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
30
And the chief of the house of
the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son
of
Uzziel.
31
And their charge shall be the
ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the
vessels of the
sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service
thereof.
32
And Eleazar the son of Aaron
the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the
oversight
of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
33
Of Merari was the family of the
Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of
Merari.
34
And those that were numbered of
them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward,
were six thousand and two hundred.
35
And the chief of the house of
the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail:
these shall
pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
36
And under the custody and
charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and
the
bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all
the
vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
37
And the pillars of the court
round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
38
But those that encamp before
the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the
congregation
eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of
the
sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger
that
cometh nigh shall be put to death.
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.
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.
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.
42
And Moses numbered, as the LORD
commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43
And all the firstborn males by
the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were
numbered
of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and
thirteen.
44
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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;
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:)
48
And thou shalt give the money,
wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to
his sons.
49
And Moses took the redemption
money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the
Levites:
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:
51
And Moses gave the money of
them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the
word of
the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

1
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
2
Take the sum of the sons of
Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house
of their
fathers,
3
From thirty years old and upward
even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the
work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4
This shall be the service of the
sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most
holy
things:
5
And when the camp setteth
forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the
covering
vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
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.
7
And upon the table of shewbread
they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the
spoons,
and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread
shall be
thereon:
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.
9
And they shall take a cloth of
blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his
tongs, and
his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto
it:
10
And they shall put it and all
the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
it upon
a bar.
11
And upon the golden altar they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers'
skins,
and shall put to the staves thereof:
12
And they shall take all the
instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and
put them
in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins,
and shall
put them on a bar:
13
And they shall take away the
ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
14
And they shall put upon it all
the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the
censers, the
fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the
altar; and
they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the
staves
of it.
15
And when Aaron and his sons
have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the
sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of
Kohath shall
come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they
die. These
things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation.
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.
17
And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
18
Cut ye not off the tribe of the
families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
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:
20
But they shall not go in to see
when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
22
Take also the sum of the sons
of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
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.
24
This is the service of the
families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
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,
26
And the hangings of the court,
and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the
tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the
instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall
they
serve.
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.
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.
29
As for the sons of Merari, thou
shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
30
From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that
entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
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,
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.
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.
34
¶ And Moses and Aaron and the
chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after
their
families, and after the house of their fathers,
35
From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the
service, for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
36
And those that were numbered of
them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37
These were they that were
numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service
in the
tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number
according to
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
38
And those that were numbered of
the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of
their
fathers,
39
From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the
service, for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
40
Even those that were numbered
of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were
two
thousand and six hundred and thirty.
41
These are they that were
numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do
service
in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number
according to the commandment of the LORD.
42
And those that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the
house of
their fathers,
43
From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the
service, for
the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
44
Even those that were numbered
of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
45
These be those that were
numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered
according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
46
All those that were numbered of
the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered,
after their
families, and after the house of their fathers,
47
From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service
of the
ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
48
Even those that were numbered
of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
49
According to the commandment of
the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according
to his
service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him,
as the
LORD commanded Moses.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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:
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.
4
And the children of Israel did
so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so
did the
children of Israel.
5
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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;
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.
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.
9
And every offering of all the
holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the
priest, shall
be his.
10
And every man's hallowed things
shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
11
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
12
Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a
trespass
against him,
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;
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:
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.
16
And the priest shall bring her
near, and set her before the LORD:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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;
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.
23
And the priest shall write
these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter
water:
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.
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:
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.
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.
28
And if the woman be not
defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29
This is the law of jealousies,
when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is
defiled;
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.
31
Then shall the man be guiltless
from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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:
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.
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.
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.
6
All the days that he separateth
himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
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.
8
All the days of his separation
he is holy unto the LORD.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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,
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.
16
And the priest shall bring them
before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt
offering:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
22
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
23
Speak unto Aaron and unto his
sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel,
saying unto
them,
24
The LORD bless thee, and keep
thee:
25
The LORD make his face shine
upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26
The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27
And they shall put my name upon
the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

¶ And it came to pass on the day
that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and
sanctified
it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels
thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
2
That the princes of Israel,
heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the
tribes, and
were over them that were numbered, offered:
3
And they brought their offering
before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two
of the
princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the
tabernacle.
4
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
5
Take it of them, that they may
be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou
shalt give
them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
6
And Moses took the wagons and
the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
7
Two wagons and four oxen he gave
unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
8
And four wagons and eight oxen
he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under
the hand
of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9
But unto the sons of Kohath he
gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was
that
they should bear upon their shoulders.
10
¶ And the princes offered for
dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the
princes
offered their offering before the altar.

dedicating of
the altar.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
2
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto
him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light
over
against the candlestick.
3
And Aaron did so; he lighted the
lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4
And this work of the candlestick
was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof,
was
beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed
Moses, so he
made the candlestick.
5
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
6
Take the Levites from among the
children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7
And thus shalt thou do unto
them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let
them
shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make
themselves
clean.
8
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.
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:
10
And thou shalt bring the
Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their
hands upon
the Levites:
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.
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.
13
And thou shalt set the Levites
before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto
the
LORD.
14
Thus shalt thou separate the
Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be
mine.
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.
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.
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.
18
And I have taken the Levites
for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
23
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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:
25
And from the age of fifty years
they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no
more:
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.

¶ 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,
2
Let the children of Israel also
keep the passover at his appointed season.
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.
4
And Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
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.
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:
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?
8
And Moses said unto them, Stand
still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
9
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
11
The fourteenth day of the
second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened
bread and
bitter herbs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16
So it was alway: the cloud
covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
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.
5
When ye blow an alarm, then the
camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
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.
7
But when the congregation is to
be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
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.
9
And if ye go to war in your land
against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with
the
trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye
shall be
saved from your enemies.
10
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.
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.
12
And the children of Israel took
their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in
the
wilderness of Paran.
13
And they first took their
journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
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.
15
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
16
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17
And the tabernacle was taken
down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward,
bearing the
tabernacle.
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.
19
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
20
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21
And the Kohathites set forward,
bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against
they
came.
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.
23
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
24
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
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.
26
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
27
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28
Thus were the journeyings of
the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
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.
30
And he said unto him, I will
not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
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.
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.
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.
34
And the cloud of the LORD was
upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
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.
36
And when it rested, he said, Return,
O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

¶ 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.
2
And the people cried unto Moses;
and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
3
And he called the name of the
place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4
¶ And the mixt multitude that
was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept
again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5
We remember the fish, which we
did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks,
and the
onions, and the garlick:
6
But now our soul is dried away:
there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7
And the manna was as coriander
seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
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.
9
And when the dew fell upon the
camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10
Then Moses heard the people
weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and
the
anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11
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?
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?
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.
14
I am not able to bear all this
people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19
Ye shall not eat one day, nor
two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
27
And there ran a young man, and
told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28
And Joshua the son of Nun, the
servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord
Moses,
forbid them.
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!
30
And Moses gat him into the
camp, he and the elders of Israel.
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.
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.
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.
34
And he called the name of that
place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that
lusted.
35
And the people journeyed from
Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

¶ And Miriam and Aaron spake
against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for
he had
married an Ethiopian woman.
2
And they said, Hath the LORD
indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the
LORD heard
it.
3
(Now the man Moses was very
meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
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.
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.
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.
7
My servant Moses is not so, who
is faithful in all mine house.
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?
9
And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against them; and he departed.
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.
11
And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have
done
foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12
Let her not be as one dead, of
whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
13
And Moses cried unto the LORD,
saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
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.
15
And Miriam was shut out from
the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was
brought in
again.
16
And afterward the people
removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
4
And these were their names: of
the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat
the son of Hori.
6
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the
son of Jephunneh.
7
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal
the son of Joseph.
8
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea
the son of Nun.
9
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti
the son of Raphu.
10
Of the tribe of Zebulun,
Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely,
of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the
son of Gemalli.
13
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur
the son of Michael.
14
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi
the son of Vophsi.
15
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the
son of Machi.
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.
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:
18
And see the land, what it is;
and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak,
few or
many;
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;
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.
21
¶ So they went up, and searched
the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
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.)
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.
24
The place was called the brook
Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel
cut down
from thence.
25
And they returned from
searching of the land after forty days.
26
¶ And they went and came to
Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of
Israel,
unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto
them, and
unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

¶ And all the congregation
lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
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!
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?
4
And they said one to another,
Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5
¶ Then Moses and Aaron fell on
their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children
of
Israel.
6
And Joshua the son of Nun, and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land,
rent
their clothes:
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.
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.
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.
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.
11
¶ And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they
believe
me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12
I will smite them with the
pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation
and
mightier than they.
13
And Moses said unto the LORD,
Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people
in thy
might from among them;)
14
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.
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,
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.
17
And now, I beseech thee, let
the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
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.
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.
20
¶ And the LORD said, I have
pardoned according to thy word:
21
But as truly as I live, all the
earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
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;
23
Surely they shall not see the
land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that
provoked
me see it:
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.
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.
26
And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
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.
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:
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,
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.
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.
32
But as for you, your carcases,
they shall fall in this wilderness.
33
And your children shall wander
in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your
carcases be
wasted in the wilderness.
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.
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.
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,
37
Even those men that did bring
up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
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.
39
And Moses told these sayings
unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
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.
41
And Moses said, Wherefore now
do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42
Go not up, for the LORD is not
among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
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.
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.
45
Then the Amalekites came down,
and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and
discomfited
them, even unto Hormah.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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,
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:
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.
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.
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.
7
And for a drink offering thou
shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto
the LORD.
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:
9
Then shall he bring with a
bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half
an hin
of oil.
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.
11
Thus shall it be done for one
bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
12
According to the number that ye
shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
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.
14
And if a stranger sojourn with
you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an
offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15
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.
16
One law and one manner shall be
for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
18
Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring
you,
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.
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.
21
Of the first of your dough ye
shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
22
¶ And if ye have erred, and not
observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
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;
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.
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:
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.
27
And if any soul sin through
ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin
offering.
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.
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.
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.
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.
32
And while the children of
Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks
upon the
sabbath day.
33
And they that found him
gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the
congregation.
34
And they put him in ward,
because it was not declared what should be done to him.
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.
36
And all the congregation
brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died;
as the
LORD commanded Moses.
37
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
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:
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:
40
That ye may remember, and do
all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
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.

¶ 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:
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:
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?
4
And when Moses heard it, he fell
upon his face:
5
And he spake unto Korah and unto
all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his,
and who
is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he
hath chosen
will he cause to come near unto him.
6
This do; Take you censers,
Korah, and all his company;
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.
8
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear,
I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
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?
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?
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?
12
¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
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?
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.
15
And Moses was very wroth, and
said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken
one ass
from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16
And Moses said unto Korah, Be
thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to
morrow:
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.
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.
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.
20
And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
21
Separate yourselves from among
this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
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?
23
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
24
Speak unto the congregation,
saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram.
25
And Moses rose up and went unto
Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
35
¶ And there came out a fire
from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered
incense.
36
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
39
And Eleazar the priest took the
brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they
were made
broad plates for a covering of the altar:
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.
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.
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.
43
And Moses and Aaron came before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
44
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
45
Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell
upon their
faces.
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.
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.
48
And he stood between the dead
and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49
Now they that died in the
plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died
about
the matter of Korah.
50
And Aaron returned unto Moses
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was
stayed.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
4
And thou shalt lay them up in
the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will
meet with
you.
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.
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.
7
And Moses laid up the rods
before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
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.
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.
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.
11
And Moses did so: as the LORD
commanded him, so did he.
12
And the children of Israel
spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13
Whosoever cometh any thing near
unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with
dying?

¶ 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7
Therefore thou and thy sons with
thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and
within
the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto
you as a
service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to
death.
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.
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.
10
In the most holy place shalt
thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
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.
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.
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.
14
Every thing devoted in Israel
shall be thine.
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.
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.
17
But the firstling of a cow, or
the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not
redeem;
they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and
shalt burn
their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
18
And the flesh of them shall be
thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
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.
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.
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.
22
Neither must the children of
Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest
they bear
sin, and die.
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.
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.
25
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
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:
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:
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:
5
And one shall burn the heifer in
his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall
he
burn:
6
And the priest shall take cedar
wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the
burning of the
heifer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
11
¶ He that toucheth the dead
body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
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.
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.
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.
15
And every open vessel, which
hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
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.
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:
18
And a clean person shall take
hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and
upon all
the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that
touched a
bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19
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.
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.
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.
22
And whatsoever the unclean
person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall
be
unclean until even.

¶ 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.
2
And there was no water for the
congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against
Aaron.
3
And the people chode with Moses,
and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died
before the
LORD!
4
And why have ye brought up the
congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle
should
die there?
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.
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.
7
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
9
And Moses took the rod from
before the LORD, as he commanded him.
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?
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.
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.
13
This is the water of Meribah;
because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was
sanctified in
them.
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:
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:
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:
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.
18
And Edom said unto him, Thou
shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19
And the children of Israel said
unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of
thy
water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing
else, go
through on my feet.
20
And he said, Thou shalt not go
through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a
strong
hand.
21
Thus Edom refused to give
Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from
him.
22
¶ And the children of Israel,
even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount
Hor.
23
And the LORD spake unto Moses
and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
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.
25
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son,
and bring them up unto mount Hor:
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.
27
And Moses did as the LORD
commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the
congregation.
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.
29
And when all the congregation
saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all
the house
of Israel.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6
And the LORD sent fiery serpents
among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel
died.
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.
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.
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.
10
¶ And the children of Israel
set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11
And they journeyed from Oboth,
and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab,
toward the
sunrising.
12
From thence they removed, and
pitched in the valley of Zared.
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.
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,
15
And at the stream of the brooks
that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of
Moab.
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.
17
Then Israel sang this song,
Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
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:
19
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel:
and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20
And from Bamoth in the valley,
that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh
toward
Jeshimon.
21
¶ And Israel sent messengers
unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
27
Wherefore they that speak in
proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and
prepared:
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.
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.
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.
31
Thus Israel dwelt in the land
of the Amorites.
32
And Moses sent to spy out
Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites
that
were there.
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.
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.
35
So they smote him, and his
sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they
possessed his land.

¶ And the children of Israel set
forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by
Jericho.
2
And Balak the son of Zippor saw
all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3
And Moab was sore afraid of the
people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the
children
of Israel.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
9
And God came unto Balaam, and
said, What men are these with thee?
10
And Balaam said unto God, Balak
the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
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.
12
And God said unto Balaam, Thou
shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are
blessed.
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.
14
And the princes of Moab rose
up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15
¶ And Balak sent yet again
princes, more, and more honourable than they.
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:
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.
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.
19
Now therefore, I pray you,
tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say
unto me
more.
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.
21
And Balaam rose up in the
morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
39
And Balaam went with Balak, and
they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
40
And Balak offered oxen and
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
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.

¶ And Balaam said unto Balak,
Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven
rams.
2
And Balak did as Balaam had
spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3
And Balaam said unto Balak,
Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will
come to
meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to
an high
place.
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.
5
And the LORD put a word in
Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6
And he returned unto him, and,
lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
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.
8
How shall I curse, whom God hath
not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
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.
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!
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.
12
And he answered and said, Must
I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
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.
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.
15
And he said unto Balak, Stand
here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
16
And the LORD met Balaam, and
put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
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?
18
And he took up his parable, and
said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
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?
20
Behold, I have received
commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
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.
22
God brought them out of Egypt;
he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
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!
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.
25
And Balak said unto Balaam,
Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26
But Balaam answered and said
unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I
must
do?
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.
28
And Balak brought Balaam unto
the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29
And Balaam said unto Balak,
Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and
seven rams.
30
And Balak did as Balaam had
said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

¶ 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.
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.
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:
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:
5
How goodly are thy tents, O
Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
12
And Balaam said unto Balak,
Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
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?
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.
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:
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:
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.
18
And Edom shall be a possession,
Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do
valiantly.
19
Out of Jacob shall come he that
shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
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.
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.
22
Nevertheless the Kenite shall
be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23
And he took up his parable, and
said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
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.
25
And Balaam rose up, and went
and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

¶ And Israel abode in Shittim,
and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2
And they called the people unto
the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to
their
gods.
3
And Israel joined himself unto
Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
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.
5
And Moses said unto the judges
of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
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.
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;
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.
9
And those that died in the
plague were twenty and four thousand.
10
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
12
Wherefore say, Behold, I give
unto him my covenant of peace:
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.
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.
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.
16
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
17
Vex the Midianites, and smite
them:
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.

¶ And it came to pass after the
plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of
Aaron the
priest, saying,
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.
3
And Moses and Eleazar the priest
spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
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.

company of
Korah, when they strove against the LORD:
10
And the earth opened her mouth,

Notwithstanding the children of
Korah died not.

shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of

¶ 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.
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,
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.
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.
5
And Moses brought their cause
before the LORD.
6
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
9
And if he have no daughter, then
ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10
And if he have no brethren,
then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
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.
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.
13
And when thou hast seen it,
thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was
gathered.
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.
15
¶ And Moses spake unto the
LORD, saying,
16
Let the LORD, the God of the
spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
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.
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;
19
And set him before Eleazar the
priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their
sight.
20
And thou shalt put some of
thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of
Israel may
be obedient.
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.
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:
23
And he laid his hands upon him,
and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
4
The one lamb shalt thou offer in
the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
10
This is the burnt offering of
every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering.
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;
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;
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.
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.
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.
16
¶ And in the fourteenth day of
the first month is the passover of the LORD.
17
And in the fifteenth day of
this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18
In the first day shall be an
holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:
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:
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;
21
A several tenth deal shalt thou
offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
22
And one goat for a sin
offering, to make an atonement for you.
23
Ye shall offer these beside the
burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
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.
25
And on the seventh day ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
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:
27
But ye shall offer the burnt
offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram,
seven
lambs of the first year;
28
And their meat offering of
flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth
deals
unto one ram,
29
A several tenth deal unto one
lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30
And one kid of the goats, to
make an atonement for you.
31
Ye shall offer them beside the
continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto
you
without blemish) and their drink offerings.

¶ And Moses spake unto the heads
of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the
thing
which the LORD hath commanded.
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.
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;
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.
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.
6
And if she had at all an
husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith
she bound
her soul;
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.
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.
9
But every vow of a widow, and of
her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall
stand
against her.
10
And if she vowed in her
husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
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.
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.
13
Every vow, and every binding
oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband
may make
it void.
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.
15
But if he shall any ways make
them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her
iniquity.
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.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
2
Avenge the children of Israel of
the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
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.
4
Of every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5
So there were delivered out of
the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand
armed for
war.
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.
7
¶ And they warred against the
Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
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.
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.
10
And they burnt all their cities
wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11
And they took all the spoil,
and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
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.
13
¶ And Moses, and Eleazar the
priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet
them
without the camp.
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.
15
And Moses said unto them, Have
ye saved all the women alive?
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.
17
Now therefore kill every male
among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by
lying with
him.
18
But all the women children,
that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
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.
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.
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;
22
Only the gold, and the silver,
the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
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.
24
And ye shall wash your clothes
on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come
into the
camp.
25
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
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:
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:
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:
29
Take it of their half, and give
it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
30
And of the children of Israel's
half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the
beeves, of
the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them
unto the
Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31
And Moses and Eleazar the
priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
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,
33
And threescore and twelve
thousand beeves,
34
And threescore and one thousand
asses,
35
And thirty and two thousand
persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
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:
37
And the LORD'S tribute of the
sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38
And the beeves were thirty and
six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
39
And the asses were thirty
thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore
and one.
40
And the persons were sixteen
thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
41
And Moses gave the tribute,
which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the
LORD
commanded Moses.
42
And of the children of Israel's
half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43
(Now the half that pertained
unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand
and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep,
44
And thirty and six thousand
beeves,
45
And thirty thousand asses and
five hundred,
46
And sixteen thousand persons;)
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.
48
¶ And the officers which were
over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses:
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.
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.
51
And Moses and Eleazar the
priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
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.
53
(For the men of war had taken
spoil, every man for himself.)
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.

¶ 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;
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,
3
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer,
and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4
Even the country which the LORD
smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy
servants
have cattle:
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.
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?
7
And wherefore discourage ye the
heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the
LORD
hath given them?
8
Thus did your fathers, when I
sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
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.
10
And the LORD'S anger was
kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
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:
12
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed
the
LORD.
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.
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.
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.
16
¶ And they came near unto him,
and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for
our
little ones:
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.
18
We will not return unto our
houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his
inheritance.
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.
20
And Moses said unto them, If ye
will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21
And will go all of you armed
over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from
before
him,
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.
23
But if ye will not do so,
behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find
you
out.
24
Build you cities for your
little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded
out of
your mouth.
25
And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my
lord
commandeth.
26
Our little ones, our wives, our
flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27
But thy servants will pass
over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord
saith.
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:
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:
30
But if they will not pass over
with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of
Canaan.
31
And the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy
servants,
so will we do.
32
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.
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.
34
And the children of Gad built
Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35
And Atroth, Shophan, and
Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan,
fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37
And the children of Reuben
built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38
And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their
names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities
which
they builded.
39
And the children of Machir the
son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the
Amorite which
was in it.
40
And Moses gave Gilead unto
Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41
And Jair the son of Manasseh
went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
42
And Nobah went and took Kenath,
and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

¶ 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.
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.
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.
4
For the Egyptians buried all
their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods
also
the LORD executed judgments.
5
And the children of Israel
removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
6
And they departed from Succoth,
and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7
And they removed from Etham, and
turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they
pitched
before Migdol.
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.
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.
10
And they removed from Elim, and
encamped by the Red sea.
11
And they removed from the Red
sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
12
And they took their journey out
of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
13
And they departed from Dophkah,
and encamped in Alush.
14
And they removed from Alush,
and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
15
And they departed from
Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
16
And they removed from the
desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.
17
And they departed from
Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
18
And they departed from Hazeroth,
and pitched in Rithmah.

20
And they departed from
Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
21
And they removed from Libnah,
and pitched at Rissah.
22
And they journeyed from Rissah,
and pitched in Kehelathah.
23
And they went from Kehelathah,
and pitched in mount Shapher.
24
And they removed from mount
Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
25
And they removed from Haradah,
and pitched in Makheloth.
26
And they removed from
Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
27
And they departed from Tahath,
and pitched at Tarah.
28
And they removed from Tarah,
and pitched in Mithcah.
29
And they went from Mithcah, and
pitched in Hashmonah.
30
And they departed from
Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
31
And they departed from
Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
32
And they removed from
Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33
And they went from Horhagidgad,
and pitched in Jotbathah.
34
And they removed from
Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
35
And they departed from Ebronah,
and encamped at Eziongaber.
36
And they removed from
Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
37
And they removed from Kadesh,
and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
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.
39
And Aaron was an hundred and
twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
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.
41
And they departed from mount
Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42
And they departed from
Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43
And they departed from Punon,
and pitched in Oboth.
44
And they departed from Oboth,
and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
45
And they departed from Iim, and
pitched in Dibongad.
46
And they removed from Dibongad,
and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
47
And they removed from
Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
48
And they departed from the
mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho.
49
And they pitched by Jordan,
from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
50
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses
in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
51
Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land
of
Canaan;
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:
53
And ye shall dispossess the
inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the
land to
possess it.
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.
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.
56
Moreover it shall come to pass,
that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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:)
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:
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:
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.
6
And as for the western border,
ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west
border.
7
And this shall be your north
border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
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:
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.
10
And ye shall point out your
east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
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:
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.
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:
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:
15
The two tribes and the half
tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho
eastward, toward the sunrising.
16
¶ And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
17
These are the names of the men
which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
the son of
Nun.
18
And ye shall take one prince of
every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19
And the names of the men are
these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20
And of the tribe of the
children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21
Of the tribe of Benjamin,
Elidad the son of Chislon.
22
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23
The prince of the children of
Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of
Ephod.
24
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28
And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29
These are they whom the LORD
commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the
land of
Canaan.

¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses
in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
10
Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of
Canaan;
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.
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.
13
And of these cities which ye
shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19
The revenger of blood himself
shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20
But if he thrust him of hatred,
or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
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.
22
But if he thrust him suddenly
without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
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:
24
Then the congregation shall
judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these
judgments:
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.
26
But if the slayer shall at any
time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was
fled;
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:
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.
29
So these things shall be for a
statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
34
Defile not therefore the land
which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the
children of Israel.

¶ 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:
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.
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.
4
And when the jubile of the
children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto
the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their
inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our
fathers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10
Even as the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah,
and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto
their
father's brothers' sons:
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.
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.
