punish you seven times more for your sins.
26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your
heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
26:20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruits.
26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I
will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of
your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and
your high ways shall be desolate.
26:23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will
walk contrary unto me;
26:24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins.
26:25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel
of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I
will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the
hand of the enemy.
26:26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again
by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I,
will chastise you seven times for your sins.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall
abhor you.
26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not
rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
26:36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a
sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your
enemies.
26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up.
26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall
they pine away with them.
26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that
also they have walked contrary unto me;
26:41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts
be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I
will remember the land.
26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my
judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them
utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their
God.
26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their
ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of
the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made
between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of
Moses.
27:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man
shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy
estimation.
27:3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even
unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of
silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
27:4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
27:5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then
thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female
ten shekels.
27:6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy
estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the
female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
27:7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then
thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
27:8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present
himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to
his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
27:9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD,
all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad
for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and
the exchange thereof shall be holy.
27:11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the
priest:
27:12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou
valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
27:13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part
thereof unto thy estimation.
27:14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD,
then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the
priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
27:15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall
be his.
27:16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of
his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed
thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of
silver.
27:17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy
estimation it shall stand.
27:18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest
shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even
unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
27:19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it,
then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it,
and it shall be assured to him.
27:20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field
to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto
the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the
priest's.
27:22 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought,
which is not of the fields of his possession;
27:23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation,
even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in
that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
27:24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom
it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did
belong.
27:25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's
firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is
the LORD's.
27:27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it
according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto:
or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy
estimation.
27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the
LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his
possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy
unto the LORD.
27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed;
but shall surely be put to death.
27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or
of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add
thereto the fifth part thereof.
27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of
whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he
change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change
thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
27:34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.

1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day
of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their
families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
1:19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness
of Sinai.

1:46 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and
three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered
among them.
1:48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum
of them among the children of Israel:
1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of
testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that
belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels
thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about
the tabernacle.
1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it
down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it
up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by
his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of
testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of
testimony.
1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard,
with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of
the congregation shall they pitch.
2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon
the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
2:5 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of

2:8 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and

2:9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand
and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout

2:10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben
according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben
shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.

six thousand and five hundred.
2:12 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the
captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai.
2:13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and
nine thousand and three hundred.
2:14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be
Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
2:15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and
five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
2:16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred
thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty,
throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
2:17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the
camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall
they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
2:18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall
be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
2:19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty
thousand and five hundred.
2:20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the
children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
2:21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and
two thousand and two hundred.
2:22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin
shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
2:23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and
five thousand and four hundred.
2:24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred
thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And
they shall go forward in the third rank.
2:25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their

and two thousand and seven hundred.

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

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