each bowl seventy: all the silver vessels weighed two thousand
and four hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
04:007:086 The golden spoons were twelve, full of incense, weighing ten
shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary: all the
gold of the spoons was an hundred and twenty shekels.
04:007:087 All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the
rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their
meat offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering
twelve.
04:007:088 And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings were
twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty,
the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of
the altar, after that it was anointed.
04:007:089 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the
congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one
speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the
ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake
unto him.
04:008:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:002 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the
lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick.
04:008:003 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
04:008:004 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.
04:008:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:006 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
04:008:007 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.
04:008:008 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.
04:008:009 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:
04:008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
04:008:011 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.
04:008:012 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.
04:008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
04:008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
04:008:015 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.
04:008:016 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.
04:008:017 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.
04:008:018 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the
children of Israel.
04:008:019 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.
04:008:020 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.
04:008:021 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.
04:008:022 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.
04:008:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:024 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:
04:008:025 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon
the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
04:008:026 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.
04:009:001 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,
04:009:002 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his
appointed season.
04:009:003 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.
04:009:004 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover.
04:009:005 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.
04:009:006 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:
04:009:007 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?
04:009:008 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what
the LORD will command concerning you.
04:009:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:009:010 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.
04:009:011 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep
it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
04:009:012 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.
04:009:013 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.
04:009:014 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.
04:009:015 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.
04:009:016 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the
appearance of fire by night.
04:009:017 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.
04:009:018 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.
04:009:019 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.
04:009:020 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.
04:009:021 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.
04:009:022 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.
04:009:023 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.
04:010:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:010:002 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.
04:010:003 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
04:010:004 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which
are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
04:010:005 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east
parts shall go forward.
04:010:006 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.
04:010:007 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall
blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
04:010:008 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.
04:010:009 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.
04:010:010 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.
04:010:011 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.
04:010:012 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
Paran.
04:010:013 And they first took their journey according to the commandment
of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
04:010:014 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.
04:010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
04:010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was
Eliab the son of Helon.
04:010:017 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and
the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
04:010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according
to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of
Shedeur.
04:010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
04:010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was
Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
04:010:021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
04:010:022 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.
04:010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
04:010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
04:010:025 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.
04:010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was
Pagiel the son of Ocran.
04:010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
Ahira the son of Enan.
04:010:028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according
to their armies, when they set forward.
04:010:029 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.
04:010:030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine
own land, and to my kindred.
04:010:031 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.
04:010:032 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.
04:010:033 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.
04:010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went
out of the camp.
04:010:035 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.
04:010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
04:011:001 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.
04:011:002 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was quenched.
04:011:003 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire
of the LORD burnt among them.
04:011:004 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?
04:011:005 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:
04:011:006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,
beside this manna, before our eyes.
04:011:007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as
the colour of bdellium.
04:011:008 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.
04:011:009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
04:011:010 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.
04:011:011 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?
04:011:012 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?
04:011:013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
04:011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too
heavy for me.
04:011:015 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.
04:011:016 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.
04:011:017 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.
04:011:018 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.
04:011:019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
ten days, nor twenty days;
04:011:020 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?
04:011:021 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.
04:011:022 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?
04:011:023 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.
04:011:024 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.
04:011:025 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.
04:011:026 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.
04:011:027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad do prophesy in the camp.
04:011:028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his
young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
04:011:029 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!
04:011:030 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
04:011:031 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.
04:011:032 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.
04:011:033 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.
04:011:034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because
there they buried the people that lusted.
04:011:035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;
and abode at Hazeroth.
04:012:001 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an
Ethiopian woman.
04:012:002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath
he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
04:012:003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were
upon the face of the earth.)
04:012:004 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.
04:012:005 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.
04:012:006 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.
04:012:007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
04:012:008 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?
04:012:009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he
departed.
04:012:010 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.
04:012:011 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.
04:012:012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
04:012:013 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
beseech thee.
04:012:014 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.
04:012:015 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the
people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
04:012:016 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in
the wilderness of Paran.
04:013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:013:002 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.
04:013:003 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.
04:013:004 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua
the son of Zaccur.
04:013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
04:013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
04:013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
04:013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
04:013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
04:013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
04:013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gaddi the son of Susi.
04:013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
04:013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
04:013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
04:013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
04:013:016 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the
land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
04:013:017 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:
04:013:018 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth
therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
04:013:019 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;
04:013:020 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.
04:013:021 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of
Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
04:013:022 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.)
