The Fourth Book of Moses, called Numbers
1:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the
second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of
Egypt, saying, 1:2Take ye the sum of all the congregation
of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
according to the number of the names, every male, by their polls; 1:3from
twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in
Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts. 1:4And
with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his
fathers' house. 1:5And these are the names of the men that
shall stand with you. Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur. 1:6Of
Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 1:7Of Judah: Nahshon the
son of Amminadab. 1:8Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.
1:9Of
Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon. 1:10Of the children of Joseph: Of Ephraim:
Elishama the son of Ammihud. Of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 1:11Of
Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni. 1:12Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai. 1:13Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran. 1:14Of
Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 1:15Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan. 1:16These are they that were called of the
congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the
heads of the thousands of Israel. 1:17And Moses and Aaron took these men
that are mentioned by name: 1:18And they assembled all the
congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they
declared their pedigrees after their families, by their fathers' houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by
their polls. 1:19As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he
numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
1:20And the children of Reuben, Israel's
first-born, their generations, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
1:21those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
1:22Of the children of Simeon, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, those that were
numbered thereof, according to the number of the names, by their polls,

the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
1:24Of the children of Gad, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:25those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. 1:26Of
the children of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their
fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years
old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 1:27those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
1:28Of the children of Issachar, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:29those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
1:30Of the children of Zebulun, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:31those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
1:32Of the children of Joseph,
namely, of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
1:33those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.
1:34Of the children of Manasseh, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:35those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
1:36Of the children of Benjamin, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:37those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
1:38Of the children of Dan, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:39those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
1:40Of the children of Asher, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 1:41those that were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
1:42Of the children of Naphtali, their

number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able

the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
1:44These are they that were numbered,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve
men: they were each one for his fathers' house. 1:45So all they that were
numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty
years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 1:46even all they that were numbered were
six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
1:47But the Levites after the tribe of
their fathers were not numbered among them. 1:48For Jehovah spake unto
Moses, saying, 1:49Only the tribe of Levi thou shalt not
number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of
Israel; 1:50but appoint thou the Levites over the
tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over
all that belongeth to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the
furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle. 1:51And 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. 1:52And the children of Israel shall pitch
their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
according to their hosts. 1:53But the Levites shall encamp round
about the tabernacle of the 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 the testimony. 1:54Thus did the children
of Israel; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 2:2The children of Israel shall encamp
every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses:
over against the tent of meeting shall they encamp round about. 2:3And
those that encamp on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of
the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the
prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 2:4And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and
fourteen thousand and six hundred. 2:5And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar
shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. 2:6And his host, and those that were
numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 2:7And the tribe of Zebulun: and
the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. 2:8And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven
thousand and four hundred. 2:9All that were numbered of the camp of
Judah were a hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and
four hundred, according to their hosts. They shall set forth first.
2:10On the south side shall be the
standard of the camp of Reuben according to their hosts: and the prince of
the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 2:11And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six
thousand and five hundred. 2:12And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the prince of the children of Simeon
shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 2:13And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three
hundred. 2:14And the tribe of Gad: and the prince
of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 2:15And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five
thousand and six hundred and fifty. 2:16All that were numbered of the camp of
Reuben were a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred
and fifty, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth second.
2:17Then the tent of meeting shall set
forward, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they
encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their
standards.
2:18On the west side shall be the standard
of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts: and the prince of the
children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 2:19And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and
five hundred. 2:20And next unto him shall be the tribe
of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel
the son of Pedahzur. 2:21And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 2:22And
the tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be
Abidan the son of Gideoni. 2:23And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 2:24All
that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred thousand and
eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set
forth third.
2:25On the north side shall be the
standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts: and the prince of
the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 2:26And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two
thousand and seven hundred. 2:27And those that encamp next unto him
shall be the tribe of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall
be Pagiel the son of Ochran. 2:28And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 2:29And
the tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be
Ahira the son of Enan. 2:30And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 2:31All
that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred thousand and fifty
and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall set forth hindmost by their
standards.
2:32These are they that were numbered of
the children of Israel by their fathers' houses: all that were numbered of
the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three
thousand and five hundred and fifty. 2:33But the Levites were not numbered
among the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 2:34Thus did the children of Israel;
according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they encamped by their
standards, and so they set forward, every one by their families, according
to their fathers' houses.
3:1Now these are the generations of Aaron
and Moses in the day that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 3:2And
these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3:3These are the names of the sons of
Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in
the priest's office. 3:4And Nadab and Abihu died before
Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness
of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
3:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set
them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 3:7And
they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation
before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:8And
they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge
of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:9And
thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly
given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel. 3:10And
thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their
priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
3:11And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:12And I, behold, I have taken the
Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the first-born
that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall
be mine: 3:13for all the first-born are mine; on
the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed
unto me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast; mine they shall
be: I am Jehovah.
3:14And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, saying, 3:15Number the children of Levi by their
fathers' houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward
shalt thou number them. 3:16And Moses numbered them according to
the word of Jehovah, as he was commanded. 3:17And these were the
sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 3:18And
these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and
Shimei. 3:19And the sons of Kohath by their
families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 3:20And the sons of Merari
by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
according to their fathers' houses.
3:21Of Gershon was the family of the
Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the
Gershonites. 3:22Those 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. 3:23The families of the Gershonites shall
encamp behind the tabernacle westward. 3:24And the prince of the
fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 3:25And
the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting shall be the
tabernacle, and the Tent, the covering thereof, and the screen for the
door of the tent of meeting, 3:26and the hangings of the court, and the
screen 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.
3:27And of Kohath was the family of the
Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the
Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of
the Kohathites. 3:28According to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six
hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 3:29The families of the
sons of Kohath shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle southward. 3:30And
the prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall
be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 3:31And 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 screen, and all the service
thereof. 3:32And Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, and have the
oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
3:33Of Merari was the family of the
Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of
Merari. 3:34And 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. 3:35And the prince of the fathers' house
of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: they shall encamp
on the side of the tabernacle northward. 3:36And the appointed
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 instruments thereof, and all the service thereof, 3:37and
the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins,
and their cords.
3:38And those that encamp before the
tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising,
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. 3:39All that were numbered of the Levites,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their
families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two
thousand.
3:40And Jehovah said unto Moses, Number
all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and
upward, and take the number of their names. 3:41And thou shalt take
the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the first-born among the
children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the
firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel: 3:42and
Moses numbered, as Jehovah commanded him, all the first-born among the
children of Israel. 3:43And all the first-born males according
to 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.
3:44And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3:45Take the Levites instead of all the
first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites
instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Jehovah. 3:46And
for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the
first-born of the children of Israel, that are over and above the
number of the Levites, 3:47thou shalt take five shekels apiece by
the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the
shekel is twenty gerahs): 3:48and thou shalt give the money,
wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49And Moses took the redemption-money
from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites;
3:50from the first-born of the children of
Israel took he the money, a thousand three hundred and threescore and five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 3:51and Moses gave the
redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of
Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
4:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 4:2Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from
among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 4:3from
thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter
upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4:4This
is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about
the most holy things: 4:5when the camp setteth forward, Aaron
shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the
screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it, 4:6and shall put thereon a
covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and
shall put in the staves thereof. 4:7And upon the table of showbread they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons,
and the bowls and the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread
shall be thereon: 4:8and they shall spread upon them a cloth
of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
in the staves thereof. 4:9And they shall take a cloth of blue,
and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers,
and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto it: 4:10and they shall put it and all the
vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the
frame. 4:11And upon the golden altar they shall
spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and
shall put in the staves thereof: 4:12and they shall take all the vessels of
ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a
cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
them on the frame. 4:13And they shall take away the ashes
from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 4:14and they shall put
upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the
firepans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the
vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of
sealskin, and put in the staves thereof. 4:15And when Aaron and his
sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of
the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath
shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they
die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of
meeting. 4:16And the charge of Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense,
and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all
the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the
furniture thereof.
4:17And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 4:18Cut ye not off the tribe of the
families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 4:19but 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; 4:20but they shall not go in to see the
sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.
4:21And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
4:22Take the sum of the sons of Gershon
also, by their fathers' houses, by their families; 4:23from thirty years old
and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in
to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4:24This is the service of the families of
the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: 4:25they shall bear the
curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the
covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of
the tent of meeting, 4:26and the hangings of the court, and the
screen 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 whatsoever shall be done with them: therein shall they
serve. 4:27At the commandment of Aaron and his
sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their
burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge
all their burden. 4:28This is the service of the families of
the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting: and their charge shall
be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt
number them by their families, by their fathers' houses; 4:30from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon
the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting. 4:31And this is the charge
of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting:
the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars
thereof, and the sockets thereof, 4:32and 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 appoint the
instruments of the charge of their burden. 4:33This is the service of
the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the
tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34And Moses and Aaron and the princes of
the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families,
and by their fathers' houses, 4:35from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting: 4:36and those that were numbered of them
by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 4:37These are they that were numbered of
the families of the Kohathites, all that did serve in the tent of meeting,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by
Moses. 4:38And those that were numbered of the
sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:39from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting, 4:40even those that were numbered of them,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six
hundred and thirty. 4:41These are they that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of
meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of
Jehovah.
4:42And those that were numbered of the
families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, 4:43from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in
the tent of meeting, 4:44even those that were numbered of them
by their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 4:45These are they that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered
according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
4:46All those that were numbered of the
Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their
families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:47from thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the
work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,
4:48even those that were numbered of them,
were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 4:49According to the
commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, every one according to
his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him,
as Jehovah commanded Moses.
5:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2Command the children of Israel, that
they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue,
and whosoever is unclean by the dead: 5:3both male and female shall ye put out,
without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in
the midst whereof I dwell. 5:4And the children of Israel did so, and
put them out without the camp; as Jehovah spake unto Moses, so did the
children of Israel.
5:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:6Speak unto the children of Israel, When
a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass
against Jehovah, and that soul shall be guilty; 5:7then he shall confess
his sin which he hath done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in
full, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him in
respect of whom he hath been guilty. 5:8But if the man have no kinsman to whom
restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is
made unto Jehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement,
whereby atonement shall be made for him. 5:9And every
heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which
they present unto the priest, shall be his. 5:10And every man's
hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it
shall be his.
5:11And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against
him, 5:13and 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, and she be not taken in the
act; 5:14and 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: 5:15then shall the man bring his wife unto
the priest, and shall bring her oblation 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 a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of
memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
5:16And the priest shall bring her near,
and set her before Jehovah: 5:17and the priest shall take holy water
in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the
tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. 5:18And
the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and let the hair of the
woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands,
which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his
hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. 5:19And the priest shall
cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with
thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy
husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the
curse. 5:20But if thou have gone aside, being
under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with
thee besides thy husband: 5:21then the priest shall cause the woman
to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the
woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when
Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; 5:22and
this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy
body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen,
Amen.
5:23And the priest shall write these
curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:
5:24and he shall make the woman drink the
water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the
curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 5:25And the priest shall
take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave
the meal-offering before Jehovah, and bring it unto the altar: 5:26and
the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial
thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman
drink the water. 5:27And when he hath made her drink the
water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a
trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her
thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 5:28And
if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and
shall conceive seed.
5:29This is the law of jealousy, when a
wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; 5:30or
when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his
wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law. 5:31And the man shall be free from
iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow
of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah, 6:3he shall separate
himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or
vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor
eat fresh grapes or dried. 6:4All the days of his separation shall he
eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the
husk.
6:5All the days of his vow of separation
there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in
which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let
the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
6:6All the days that he separateth himself
unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body. 6:7He shall not make
himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for
his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his
head. 6:8All the days of his separation he is
holy unto Jehovah.
6:9And if any man die very suddenly beside
him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his
head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 6:10And
on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons,
to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting: 6:11and the priest shall
offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make
atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall
hallow his head that same day. 6:12And he shall separate unto Jehovah the
days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a
trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his
separation was defiled.
6:13And this is the law of the Nazirite,
when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto
the door of the tent of meeting: 6:14and he shall offer his oblation unto
Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and
one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram
without blemish for peace-offerings, 6:15and a basket of unleavened bread,
cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with
oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. 6:16And
the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his
sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: 6:17and he shall offer the
ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of
unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof,
and the drink-offering thereof. 6:18And the Nazirite shall shave the head
of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the
hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under
the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 6:19And the priest shall take the boiled
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 Nazirite, after
he hath shaven the head of his separation; 6:20and the priest shall
wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest,
together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite
may drink wine.
6:21This is the law of the Nazirite who
voweth, and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation,
besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he
voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.
6:22And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons,
saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say
unto them,
6:24Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25Jehovah make his face to shine upon
thee, and be gracious unto thee:
6:26Jehovah lift up his countenance upon
thee, and give thee peace.
6:27So shall they put my name upon the
children of Israel; and I will bless them.
7:1And it came to pass on the day that
Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it
and sanctified it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all
the vessels thereof, and had anointed them and sanctified them; 7:2that
the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These
were the princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that
were numbered: 7:3and they brought their oblation before
Jehovah, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the
princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the
tabernacle. 7:4And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
7:5Take it of them, that they may be
used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt
give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. 7:6And
Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 7:7Two
wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their
service: 7:8and 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. 7:9But unto the sons of Kohath he gave
none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them; they bare
it upon their shoulders. 7:10And the princes offered for the
dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes
offered their oblation before the altar. 7:11And Jehovah said unto
Moses, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the
dedication of the altar.

7:89And when Moses went into the tent of
meeting to speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from
above the mercy-seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between
the two cherubim: and he spake unto him.
8:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him,
When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of
the candlestick. 8:3And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps
thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah
commanded Moses. 8:4And this was the work of the
candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto
the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which
Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6Take the Levites from among the
children of Israel, and cleanse them. 8:7And thus shalt thou do unto them, to
cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them
cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their
clothes, and cleanse themselves. 8:8Then let them take a young bullock, and
its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock
shalt thou take for a sin-offering. 8:9And thou shalt present the Levites
before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation
of the children of Israel: 8:10and thou shalt present the Levites
before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the
Levites: 8:11and Aaron shall offer the Levites
before Jehovah for a wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of
Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Jehovah. 8:12And
the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and
offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering,
unto Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites. 8:13And thou shalt set the
Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a
wave-offering unto Jehovah.
8:14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites
from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine. 8:15And
after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of
meeting: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
8:16For they are wholly given unto me from
among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even
the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
8:17For all the first-born among the
children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote
all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. 8:18And
I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children
of Israel. 8:19And 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 tent of meeting, and to make
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.
8:20Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto
all that Jehovah commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children
of Israel unto them. 8:21And the Levites purified themselves
from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a
wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse
them. 8:22And after that went the Levites in to
do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons:
as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto
them.
8:23And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24This is that which belongeth unto the
Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to
wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting: 8:25and
from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and
shall serve no more, 8:26but shall minister with their brethren
in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus
shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.
9:1And Jehovah 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, 9:2Moreover let the
children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season. 9:3In
the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its
appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to
all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it. 9:4And Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 9:5And
they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of
the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that
Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 9:6And
there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a
man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came
before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 9:7and those men said unto
him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we
kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed
season among the children of Israel? 9:8And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that
I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9:9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by
reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
passover unto Jehovah. 9:11In the second month on the fourteenth
day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread
and bitter herbs: 9:12they shall leave none of it unto the
morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the
passover they shall keep it. 9:13But the man that is clean, and is not
on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut
off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its
appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 9:14And if a stranger
shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah;
according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance
thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the
sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.
9:15And on the day that the tabernacle was
reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the
testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the
appearance of fire, until morning. 9:16So it was alway: the cloud covered it,
and the appearance of fire by night. 9:17And whenever the cloud was taken up
from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and
in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped.
9:18At the commandment of Jehovah the
children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they
encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained
encamped. 9:19And when the cloud tarried upon the
tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of
Jehovah, and journeyed not. 9:20And sometimes the cloud was a few days
upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they
remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they
journeyed. 9:21And sometimes the cloud was from
evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning,
they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the
cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 9:22Whether it were two days, or a month,
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon,
the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it
was taken up, they journeyed. 9:23At the commandment of Jehovah they
encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the
charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
10:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of
beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling
of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps. 10:3And
when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves
unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting. 10:4And if they blow but
one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto thee. 10:5And when ye blow an alarm, the camps
that lie on the east side shall take their journey. 10:6And when ye blow an
alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take
their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 10:7But
when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall
not sound an alarm. 10:8And the sons of Aaron, the priests,
shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever
throughout your generations. 10:9And when ye go to war in your land
against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm
with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and
ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10:10Also in the day of
your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your
months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the
sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a
memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
10:11And it came to pass in the second
year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the
cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony. 10:12And the children of Israel set
forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and
the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. 10:13And they first took
their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses. 10:14And in the first place the
standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to
their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10:15And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 10:16And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 10:17And the tabernacle was taken down;
and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle,
set forward. 10:18And the standard of the camp of
Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur
the son of Shedeur. 10:19And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10:20And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21And the Kohathites set forward,
bearing the sanctuary: and the others did set up the tabernacle
against their coming. 10:22And the standard of the camp of the
children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his
host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 10:23And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 10:24And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25And the standard of the camp of the
children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward
according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai. 10:26And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 10:27And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 10:28Thus were the journeyings of the
children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.
10:29And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of
Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying unto the
place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we
will do thee good; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel. 10:30And he said unto him, I will not go;
but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 10:31And he said, Leave us not, I pray
thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness,
and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes. 10:32And it shall be, if
thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do
unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
10:33And they set forward from the mount
of Jehovah three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for
them. 10:34And the cloud of Jehovah was over
them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 10:35And it came to pass,
when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let
thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
10:36And when it rested, he said, Return,
O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
11:1And the people were as murmurers,
speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heard it,
his anger was kindled; and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and
devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 11:2And the people cried
unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto Jehovah, and the fire abated. 11:3And
the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah
burnt among them.
11:4And the mixed multitude that was among
them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 11:5We remember the fish,
which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and
the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 11:6but now our soul is
dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon. 11:7And
the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the
appearance of bdellium. 11:8The people went about, and gathered
it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots,
and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
11:9And when the dew fell upon the camp in
the night, the manna fell upon it. 11:10And Moses heard the people weeping
throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the
anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 11:11And Moses said unto Jehovah,
Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? and wherefore have I not
found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people
upon me? 11:12Have I conceived all this people?
have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in
thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land
which thou swarest unto their fathers? 11:13Whence should I have
flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us
flesh, that we may eat. 11:14I am not able to bear all this people
alone, because it is too heavy for me. 11:15And if thou deal thus
with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy
sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16And Jehovah 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 tent
of meeting, that they may stand there with thee. 11:17And 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. 11:18And say thou unto the people,
Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have
wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for
it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and
ye shall eat. 11:19Ye shall not eat one day, nor two
days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 11:20but a whole month, until it come out
at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have
rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why
came we forth out of Egypt? 11:21And 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. 11:22Shall flocks and
herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea
be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 11:23And Jehovah said unto
Moses, Is Jehovah's hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word
shall come to pass unto thee or not.
11:24And Moses went out, and told the
people the words of Jehovah: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them round about the Tent. 11:25And Jehovah came down
in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon
him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when
the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
11:26But there remained two 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
had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 11:27And there ran a young man, and told
Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 11:28And Joshua the son of Nun, the
minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord
Moses, forbid them. 11:29And Moses said unto him, Art thou
jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, that
Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them! 11:30And Moses gat him
into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31And there went forth a wind from
Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp,
about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. 11:32And the people rose up all that day,
and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that
gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for
themselves round about the camp. 11:33While the flesh was yet between their
teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the
people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague. 11:34And the name of that place was called
Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 11:35From Kibrothhattaavah the people
journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
12:1And Miriam and Aaron spake against
Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married
a Cushite woman. 12:2And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed
spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard
it. 12:3Now the man Moses was very meek, above
all the men that were upon the face of the earth.
12:4And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses,
and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of
meeting. And they three came out. 12:5And Jehovah came down in a pillar of
cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and
they both came forth. 12:6And he said, Hear now my words: if
there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in
a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 12:7My servant Moses is
not so; he is faithful in all my house: 12:8with him will I speak
mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of
Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak
against my servant, against Moses?
12:9And the anger of Jehovah was kindled
against them; and he departed. 12:10And the cloud removed from over the
Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron
looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 12:11And Aaron said unto
Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have
done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12:12Let her not, I pray,
be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of
his mother's womb. 12:13And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying,
Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 12:14And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her
father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let
her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be
brought in again. 12:15And Miriam was shut up without the
camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in
again.
12:16And afterward the people journeyed
from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2Send thou men, that they may spy out
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 prince among them.
13:3And Moses sent them from the
wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them
men who were heads of the children of Israel. 13:4And these were their
names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 13:5Of
the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 13:6Of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 13:7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son
of Joseph. 13:8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the
son of Nun. 13:9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the
son of Raphu. 13:10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the
son of Sodi. 13:11Of the tribe of Joseph,
namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 13:12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son
of Gemalli. 13:13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son
of Michael. 13:14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the
son of Vophsi. 13:15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of
Machi. 13:16These are the names of the men that
Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun
Joshua.
13:17And Moses sent them to spy out the
land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and
go up into the hill-country: 13:18and see the land, what it is; and the
people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they
are few or many; 13:19and what the land is that they dwell
in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell
in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 13:20and what the land is,
whether it is fat or lean, whether there is 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 first-ripe grapes.
13:21So they went up, and spied out the
land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 13:22And they went up by the South, and
came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak,
were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 13:23And they came unto the valley of
Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and
they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the
pomegranates, and of the figs. 13:24That place was called the valley of
Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
13:25And they returned from spying out the
land at the end of forty days. 13:26And they went and came to Moses, and
to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the
wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto
all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 13:27And 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. 13:28Howbeit the people that dwell in the
land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 13:29Amalek dwelleth in
the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite,
dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and
along by the side of the Jordan.
13:30And 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. 13:31But the men that went up with him
said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger
than we. 13:32And they brought up an evil report of
the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The
land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up
the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of
great stature. 13:33And there we saw the Nephilim, the
sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
14:1And all the congregation lifted up
their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 14:2And
all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and
the whole congregation said unto them, Would that we had died in the land
of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness! 14:3And
wherefore doth Jehovah bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our
wives and our little ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to
return into Egypt?
14:4And they said one to another, Let us
make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 14:5Then Moses and Aaron
fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the
children of Israel. 14:6And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their
clothes: 14:7and they spake unto all the
congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed
through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 14:8If Jehovah delight in
us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land
which floweth with milk and honey. 14:9Only rebel not against Jehovah,
neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their
defence is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.
14:10But all the congregation bade stone
them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting
unto all the children of Israel.
14:11And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long
will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for
all the signs which I have wrought among them? 14:12I will smite them
with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation
greater and mightier than they.
14:13And Moses said unto Jehovah, Then the
Egyptians will hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might
from among them; 14:14and they will tell it to the
inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou Jehovah art in the
midst of this people; for thou Jehovah art seen face to face, and thy
cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud
by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 14:15Now if thou shalt
kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of
thee will speak, saying, 14:16Because Jehovah was not able to bring
this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath
slain them in the wilderness. 14:17And now, I pray thee, let the power
of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 14:18Jehovah is slow to anger, and
abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; and that
will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
14:19Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of
this people according unto the greatness of thy lovingkindness, and
according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20And Jehovah said, I have pardoned
according to thy word: 14:21but in very deed, as I live, and as
all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah; 14:22because all those men that have seen
my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness,
yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
14:23surely they shall not see the land
which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised
me see it: 14:24but 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. 14:25Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite
dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by
the way to the Red Sea.
14:26And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 14:27How long shall I bear with
this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 14:28Say unto them, As I live, saith
Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 14:29your dead bodies shall fall in this
wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole
number, from twenty years old and upward, that have murmured against me,
14:30surely ye shall not come into the
land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 14:31But your little ones, that ye said
should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which
ye have rejected. 14:32But as for you, your dead bodies
shall fall in this wilderness. 14:33And your children shall be wanderers
in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your
dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness. 14:34After the number of
the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a
year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know
my alienation. 14:35I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely this
will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together
against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they
shall die.
14:36And the men, whom Moses sent to spy
out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur
against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 14:37even those men that did bring up an
evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah. 14:38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the
land.
14:39And Moses told these words unto all
the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 14:40And they rose up early in the
morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are
here, and will go up unto the place which Jehovah hath promised: for we
have sinned. 14:41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye
transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper? 14:42Go not up, for Jehovah is not among
you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies. 14:43For there the Amalekite and the
Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are
turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with
you. 14:44But they presumed to go up to the top
of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and
Moses, departed not out of the camp. 14:45Then the Amalekite
came down, and the Canaanite who dwelt in that mountain, and smote them
and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
15:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I
give unto you, 15:3and will make an offering by fire unto
Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a
freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto
Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock; 15:4then shall he that
offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part
of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of
oil: 15:5and wine for the drink-offering, the
fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for
the sacrifice, for each lamb. 15:6Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a
meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled
with the third part of a hin of oil: 15:7and for the drink-offering thou shalt
offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 15:8And
when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to
accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah; 15:9then shall he offer with the bullock a
meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour
mingled with half a hin of oil: 15:10and thou shalt offer for the
drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savor unto Jehovah.
15:11Thus shall it be done for each
bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. 15:12According to the number that ye shall
prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 15:13All that are home-born shall do these
things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto Jehovah. 15:14And if a stranger sojourn with you,
or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he
shall do. 15:15For the assembly, there shall be one
statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a
statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the
sojourner be before Jehovah. 15:16One law and one ordinance shall be
for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
15:17And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 15:19then it shall be, that, when ye eat
of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.
15:20Of the first of your dough ye shall
offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the
threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. 15:21Of the first of your
dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your
generations.
15:22And when ye shall err, and not
observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, 15:23even all that Jehovah hath commanded
you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward
throughout your generations; 15:24then it shall be, if it be done
unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the
congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a
sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the
drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a
sin-offering. 15:25And the priest shall make atonement
for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be
forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah,
for their error: 15:26and all the congregation of the
children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth
among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
15:27And if one person sin unwittingly,
then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering. 15:28And the priest shall make atonement
for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to
make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 15:29Ye shall have one law
for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 15:30But the soul that doeth aught with a
high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth
Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15:31Because he hath despised the word of
Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut
off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
15:32And while the children of Israel were
in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33And they that found him gathering
sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 15:34And they put him in ward, because it
had not been declared what should be done to him. 15:35And Jehovah said unto
Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall
stone him with stones without the camp. 15:36And all the
congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with
stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
15:37And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38Speak 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 each
border a cord of blue: 15:39and it shall be unto you for a
fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of
Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your
own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot; 15:40that ye may remember
and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 15:41I
am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your
God: I am Jehovah your God.
16:1Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son
of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and
On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 16:2and
they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men
of renown; 16:3and they assembled 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 Jehovah
is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of
Jehovah?
16:4And when Moses heard it, he fell upon
his face: 16:5and he spake unto Korah and unto all
his company, saying, In the morning Jehovah will show who are his, and who
is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall
choose will he cause to come near unto him. 16:6This do: take you
censers, Korah, and all his company; 16:7and put fire in them, and put incense
upon them before Jehovah to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom
Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you,
ye sons of Levi. 16:8And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now,
ye sons of Levi: 16:9seemeth 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 Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister
unto them; 16:10and that he hath brought thee near,
and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the
priesthood also? 16:11Therefore thou and all thy company
are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye
murmur against him?
16:12And Moses sent to call Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up: 16:13is it a small thing that thou hast
brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the
wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us? 16:14Moreover thou hast not brought us
into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of
fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not
come up.
16:15And Moses was very wroth, and said
unto Jehovah, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass
