The Census of Israel's Warriors
(Numbers 26:1-4)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation,

Egypt, saying, 2Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their
families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of [their] names, every male by their polls;
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 armies. 4And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one
head of the house of his fathers.
The Princes of the Tribes
5And these [are] the names of the men that shall stand with you: of [the tribe of] Reuben; Elizur
the son of Shedeur. 6Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7Of Judah; Nahshon the son of

assembled all the congregation together on the first [day] of the second month, and they declared
their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. 19As the LORD commanded Moses, so he
numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the

able to go forth to war; 37Those that were numbered of them, [even] of the tribe of Benjamin,
[were] thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
38Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go
forth to war; 39Those that were numbered of them, [even] of the tribe of Dan, [were] threescore

upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 46Even all they that were numbered were
six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
Levites Exempted
47But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 48For the LORD
had spoken unto Moses, saying, 49Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the
sum of them among the children of Israel: 50But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle
of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear
the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle. 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. 52And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own
camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. 53But the Levites shall pitch
round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the
children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. 54And the
children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

The Sons of Aaron
(Leviticus 10:1-7)
1These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day [that] the LORD spake with Moses
in mount Sinai. 2And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 4And Nadab and Abihu died
before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and
they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron
their father.
Duties of the Levites
5And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before
Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 7And they shall keep his charge, and the charge
of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the
tabernacle. 8And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9And thou shalt give the
Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among
the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of
Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; 13Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day
that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both
man and beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the LORD.
Registration of the Levites
14And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15Number the children of Levi
after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt
thou number them. 16And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded. 17And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
18And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei. 19And the
sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20And the sons of Merari
by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These [are] the families of the Levites according to the house of
their fathers.

21Of Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these [are] the
families of the Gershonites. 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. 23The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle
westward. 24And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son
of Lael.
25And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation [shall be] the
tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, 26And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which
[is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

(Numbers 4:1-20; Numbers 4:34-37; 1 Chronicles 23:12-20)
27And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family
of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of the Kohathites. 28In
the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [were] eight thousand and six
hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 29The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on
the side of the tabernacle southward. 30And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 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 hanging, and all the service thereof. 32And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
[shall be] chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge
of the sanctuary.

of Merari. 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. 35And the chief of the house
of the father of the families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side
of the tabernacle northward. 36And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be]
the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof,
and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, 37And the pillars of the court round about,
and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
Moses and Aaron
38But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the
congregation eastward, [shall be] Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to
death. 39All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the
commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward,
[were] twenty and two thousand.
Firstborn Sons Redeemed
40And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel
from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 41And thou shalt take the
Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the
cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42And
Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that
were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among
the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be
mine: I [am] the LORD. 46And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and
threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
47Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou
take [them]: (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) 48And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd
number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. 49And Moses took the redemption
money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: 50Of the
firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and
five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary: 51And Moses gave the money of them that were
redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD
commanded Moses.

1And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2Take the sum of the sons of Kohath
from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers, 3From thirty years
old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation. 4This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle
of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:
5And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the
covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 6And shall put thereon the covering of
badgers' skins, and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes,
and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be
thereon: 8And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering
of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof. 9And they shall take a cloth of blue, and
cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil
vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it: 10And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof
within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar. 11And upon the golden altar they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the
staves thereof: 12And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the
sanctuary, and put [them] in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and
shall put [them] on a bar: 13And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon: 14And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister
about it, [even] the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the
altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. 15And
when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the
sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it]: but
they shall not touch [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
16And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the
sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein [is], in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 18Cut ye not off the tribe of the families
of the Kohathites from among the Levites: 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: 20But they shall not go in to see when the holy
things are covered, lest they die.

the tabernacle of the congregation. 24This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonites, to
serve, and for burdens: 25And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it, and
the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26And the hangings of the court,
and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar
round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them:

of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in
charge all their burdens. 28This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be] under the hand of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.

fathers; 30From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them,

31And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the
congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and
sockets thereof, 32And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and

instruments of the charge of their burden. 33This [is] the service of the families of the sons of

congregation: 36And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven
hundred and fifty. 37These [were] they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all

Cleansing the Camps
(Leviticus 13:1-46)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, that they put out of
the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not
their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. 4And the children of Israel did so, and put them out
without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Restitution for Trespasses
(Luke 19:1-10)
5And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or
woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person
be guilty; 7Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his
trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth [part] thereof, and give [it] unto [him]
against whom he hath trespassed. 8But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest; beside the ram of the
atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. 9And every offering of all the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10And every man's
hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 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, neither she be taken [with the manner]; 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: 15Then shall the man bring his wife unto
the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley meal; he
shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering
of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: 17And the priest shall take holy
water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put [it] into the water: 18And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and
uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which [is] the jealousy
offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: 19And the
priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if
thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from
this bitter water that causeth the curse: 20But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy
husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 21Then
the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the
woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make
thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; 22And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy
bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter
water: 24And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the
water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter. 25Then the priest shall take
the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and
offer it upon the altar: 26And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, [even] the memorial
thereof, and burn [it] upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, [that], if she be
defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her, [and become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the
woman shall be a curse among her people. 28And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then
she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside [to another] instead of her husband, and
is defiled; 30Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and
shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. 31Then
shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

The Nazarite Vow
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
[themselves] unto the LORD: 3He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor
eat moist grapes, or dried. 4All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the
vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
5All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come upon his head: until the days
be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the
locks of the hair of his head grow.
6All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body. 7He shall
not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when
they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head. 8All the days of his separation he
[is] holy unto the LORD.
9And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then
he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 10And on
the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: 11And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall
hallow his head that same day. 12And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his
separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were
before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
13And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be
brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 14And he shall offer his offering unto
the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of
the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
15And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened
bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings. 16And the priest shall
bring [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering: 17And he
shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of
unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering. 18And the
Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the
sacrifice of the peace offerings. 19And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and
one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the
hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven: 20And the priest shall wave them
[for] a wave offering before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave
shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
21This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering unto the LORD for his
separation, beside [that] that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must
do after the law of his separation.
Aaron's Blessing
22And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this
wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Offerings of Dedication
1And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it,
and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had
anointed them, and sanctified them; 2That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their
fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
3And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon
for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle. 4And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 5Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according
to his service. 6And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 7Two
wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service: 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. 9But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because
the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.
10And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the
princes offered their offering before the altar. 11And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer
their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

The Seven Lamps
(Exodus 25:31-40)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou
lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick. 3And Aaron did so;
he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses. 4And
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.
Cleansing the Levites
5And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them. 7And 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. 8Then 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. 9And thou shalt bring
the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of
the children of Israel together: 10And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: 11And 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.
12And 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. 13And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them
[for] an offering unto the LORD.
14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be
mine. 15And 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. 16For 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. 17For 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. 18And I have taken the Levites for all the
firstborn of the children of Israel. 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 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.
20And 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. 21And 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. 22And 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.
Retirement for Levites
23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24This [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: 25And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service
[thereof], and shall serve no more: 26But 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.

The Second Passover
(Exodus 12:1-13)
1And 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, 2Let the children of Israel also keep the
passover at his appointed season. 3In 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. 4And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
5And 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. 6And 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: 7And 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? 8And
Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10Speak 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. 11The fourteenth day of the second month at even
they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs]. 12They 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. 13But 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. 14And 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.
The Cloud above the Tabernacle
(Exodus 40:34-38)
15And 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. 16So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire
by night. 17And 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. 18At 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. 19And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not. 20And [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. 21And [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. 22Or [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. 23At 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.

The Two Silver Trumpets
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Make 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. 3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4And if they blow [but] with
one [trumpet], then the princes, [which are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto thee. 5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go
forward. 6When 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. 7But when the congregation is to be
gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 8And 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. 9And 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. 10Also 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.
Moving from Sinai to Paran
11And 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. 12And the children of Israel took their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13And they

the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27And over the
host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan. 28Thus [were] the
journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
29And 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. 30And he said unto him, I will not
go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 31And 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. 32And 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.
33And 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.
34And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35And 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.
36And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

The People Complain
1And [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. 2And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was quenched. 3And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire
of the LORD burnt among them.
4And 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? 5We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt
freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: 6But now
our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes.
7And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 8[And]
the people went about, and gathered [it], and ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and
baked [it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 9And
when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
The Complaint of Moses
10Then 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. 11And 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? 12Have 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? 13Whence
should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that
we may eat. 14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me. 15And
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.
Seventy Elders to Help Moses
16And 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. 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.
The People Receive Meat for a Month
18And 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. 19Ye shall not eat one day,
nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 20[But] even a whole month, until
it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the
LORD which [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
Moses' Faith Staggered
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. 22Shall 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? 23And 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.
24And 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. 25And 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.
26But 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. 27And there ran a
young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 28And Joshua
the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them. 29And 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! 30And Moses gat him
into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
The Quail and the Plague
31And 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. 32And 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. 33And 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. 34And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there
they buried the people that lusted. 35[And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron
1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had
married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken
only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it]. 3(Now the man Moses
[was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.) 4And 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. 5And 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.
6And 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.
7My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.
8With 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?
9And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. 10And 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. 11And 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. 12Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of
his mother's womb. 13And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
thee. 14And 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]. 15And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].
16And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

Spies Sent to Canaan
(Deuteronomy 1:19-25)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Send 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. 3And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the
wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel. 4And these [were] their
names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the
son of Hori. 6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the
son of Joseph. 8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the
son of Raphu. 10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11Of the tribe of Joseph,
[namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of
Gemalli. 13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the
son of Vophsi. 15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16These [are] the names of the men
which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Instructions to the Spies
17And 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: 18And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that
dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many; 19And 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; 20And 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.
The Spies Explore Canaan
21So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to
Hamath. 22And 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.)
23And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of
grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and
of the figs. 24The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the
children of Israel cut down from thence.
The Reports of the Spies
25And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. 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 shewed
them the fruit of the land. 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. 28Nevertheless
the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and
the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell
by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
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. 31But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up
against the people; for they [are] stronger than we. 32And they brought up an evil report of the
land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have
gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw
in it [are] men of a great stature. 33And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come]
of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

The People Rebel
(Deuteronomy 1:26-33)
1And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2And all
the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said
unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this
wilderness! 3And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our
wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4And they
said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the
children of Israel. 6And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of
them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7And they spake unto all the company of the
children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good
land. 8If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which
floweth with milk and honey. 9Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of
the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with
us: fear them not. 10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the
LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere
they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12I will smite them with the
pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Moses Intercedes for the People
13And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this
people in thy might from among them;) 14And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for]
they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face,
and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar
of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man,
then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 16Because the LORD was
not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them
in the wilderness. 17And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou
hast spoken, saying, 18The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth [generation]. 19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this
people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from
Egypt even until now.
God's Forgiveness and Judgment
(Deuteronomy 1:34-40)
20And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21But [as] truly [as] I live, all the
earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 22Because all those men which have seen my glory,
and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten
times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware
unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 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. 25(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt
in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27How long [shall I bear with] this evil
congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel,
which they murmur against me. 28Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have
spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that
were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which
have murmured against me, 30Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I
sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the
land which ye have despised. 32But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until
your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34After the number of the days in which ye searched
the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years,
and ye shall know my breach of promise. 35I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed,
and there they shall die.
The Plague on the Ten Spies
36And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation
to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land, 37Even those men that did bring
up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 38But Joshua the son of
Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived
[still].
39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Defeat by Amalekites and Canaanites
40And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo,
we [be here], and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall
not prosper. 42Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your
enemies. 43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the
sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. 44But
they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
Moses, departed not out of the camp. 45Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites
which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah.

Laws about Sacrifices
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 3And will make an
offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill
offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the
flock: 4Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal
of flour mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of oil. 5And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a
drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6Or for a ram,
thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an
hin of oil. 7And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet
savour unto the LORD. 8And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering, or [for] a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: 9Then shall he bring with a
bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10And thou
shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the LORD.
11Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12According to the
number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13All that are
born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be] among you in your generations, and will
offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 15One
ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth
[with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before
the LORD. 16One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with
you.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread
of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD. 20Ye shall offer up a cake of the
first of your dough [for] an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so
shall ye heave it. 21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your
generations.
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken
unto Moses, 23[Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day
that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward among your generations; 24Then it shall
be, if [ought] be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the
congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD,
with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for
a sin offering. 25And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that
sojourneth among them; seeing all the people [were] in ignorance.
27And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin
offering. 28And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he
sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
29Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among
the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 30But the soul that doeth
[ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the
LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he hath despised the word
of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity
[shall be] upon him.
A Sabbath-Breaker Stoned
(Exodus 31:12-17)
32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks
upon the sabbath day. 33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared
what should be done to him. 35And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to
death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36And all the
congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
The Law of Tassels
37And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 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 the borders a ribband of blue: 39And it shall be unto you for a fringe,
that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and
that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41I [am] the
LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your
God.

Korah's Rebellion
1Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons
of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]: 2And they rose up before Moses,
with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the
congregation, men of renown: 3And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against
Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy,
every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the
congregation of the LORD?
4And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face: 5And he spake unto Korah and unto all his
company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will
cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near
unto him. 6This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; 7And put fire therein, and put
incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth
choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: 9[Seemeth it but] a small thing unto
you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to
himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to
minister unto them? 10And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy brethren the sons of
Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? 11For which cause [both] thou and all thy
company [are] gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against
him?
12And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
13[Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey,
to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? 14Moreover thou
hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields
and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not
taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. 16And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou
and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: 17And take every
man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two
hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer. 18And they took every
man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. 19And Korah gathered all the congregation
against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD
appeared unto all the congregation.
20And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 21Separate yourselves from among this
congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 22And they fell upon their faces, and said, O
God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the
congregation?

23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up
from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked
men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 27So they gat up from the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and
stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 28And
Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have]
not [done them] of mine own mind. 29If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be
visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me. 30But if the LORD make a
new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto
them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked
the LORD.
The Earth Swallows Up Korah
31And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave
asunder that [was] under them: 32And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and
their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all [their] goods. 33They, and all
that [appertained] to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they
perished from among the congregation. 34And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at the
cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]. 35And there came out a fire from
the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
The Censers Reserved for Holy Use
36And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 37Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that
he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
38The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a
covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they
shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. 39And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers,
wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a covering of
the altar: 40[To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which [is] not of the
seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his
company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
Murmuring and Plague
(Numbers 25:1-5; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13)
41But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD. 42And it came to pass, when the
congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the
tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD
appeared. 43And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 44And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume
them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 46And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer,
and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation,
and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
47And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold,
the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the
people. 48And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 49Now they
that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about
the matter of Korah. 50And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Aaron's Staff Buds
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one
of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house
of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. 3And thou shalt write
Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
4And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I
will meet with you. 5And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall
blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they
murmur against you. 6And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes
gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods:
and the rod of Aaron [was] among their rods. 7And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
tabernacle of witness.
8And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold,
the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed
blossoms, and yielded almonds. 9And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all
the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10And the LORD said unto
Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and
thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 11And Moses did [so]: as
the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be
consumed with dying?

Duties of Priests and Levites
1And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the
iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your
priesthood. 2And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee,
that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall
minister] before the tabernacle of witness. 3And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all
the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that
neither they, nor ye also, die. 4And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the
tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come
nigh unto you. 5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that
there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. 6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren
the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to
do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall
keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have
given your priest's office [unto you as] a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
put to death.
The Priests' Portion
8And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave
offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason
of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. 9This shall be thine of the most holy
things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every
sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall
be] most holy for thee and for thy sons. 10In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male
shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. 11And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all
the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to
thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which
they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee. 13[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land,
which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall
eat [of] it. 14Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 15Every thing that openeth the matrix in
all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine:
nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt
thou redeem. 16And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according
to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is]
twenty gerahs. 17But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat,
thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt
burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 18And the flesh of
them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 19All the heave
offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee,
and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever
before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee. 20And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou
shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy
part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
The Levites' Portion
21And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their
service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22Neither must
the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin,
and die. 23But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall
bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the
children of Israel they have no inheritance. 24But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they
offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have
said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
The Heave Offering
25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 26Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the
tithe. 27And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of
the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. 28Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering
unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give
thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest. 29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every
heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out of it.
30Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall
be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the
winepress. 31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for
your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when
ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of
Israel, lest ye die.

Ashes of the Red Heifer
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2This [is] the ordinance of the law which
the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red
heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke: 3And ye shall
give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay
her before his face: 4And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of
her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: 5And [one] shall burn the
heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6And the
priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of
the heifer. 7Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even. 8And he that
burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until
the even. 9And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up
without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel
for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin. 10And he that gathereth the ashes of the
heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of
Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
Purification of the Unclean
11He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 12He shall purify himself
with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the
third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 13Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any
man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall
be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be
unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.
14This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the
tent, shall be unclean seven days. 15And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it,
[is] unclean. 16And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead
body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 17And for an unclean [person]
they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be
put thereto in a vessel: 18And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and
sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and
upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: 19And the clean [person]
shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day
he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at
even.
20But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from
among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of
separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean. 21And it shall be a perpetual statute
unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that
toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. 22And whatsoever the unclean
[person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.

The Death of Miriam
1Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first
month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Water from the Rock
(Exodus 17:1-7)
2And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against
Moses and against Aaron. 3And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that
we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 4And why have ye brought up the
congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there? 5And
wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no
place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.
6And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
7And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye
unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them
water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 10And Moses and Aaron
gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels;
must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he
smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their
beasts [also]. 12And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to
sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into
the land which I have given them. 13This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel
strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
Edom Refuses Passage
14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel,
Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: 15How our fathers went down into Egypt, and
we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers: 16And when we
cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of
Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: 17Let us pass, I pray
thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither
will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to the
right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink
of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my
feet. 20And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people,
and with a strong hand. 21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore
Israel turned away from him.
The Death of Aaron
22And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came
unto mount Hor.
23And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom,
saying, 24Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have
given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: 26And strip Aaron of his
garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and
shall die there. 27And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the
sight of all the congregation. 28And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon
Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down
from the mount. 29And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.

Victory over the Canaanites
1And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the
way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners. 2And Israel
vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I
will utterly destroy their cities. 3And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up
the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the
place Hormah.
The Bronze Serpent
4And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and
the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 5And the people spake against
God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of
Israel died. 7Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken
against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.
And Moses prayed for the people. 8And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and
set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it,
shall live. 9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if
a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
The Journey to Moab
10And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth. 11And they journeyed from Oboth,
and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising. 12From
thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared. 13From thence they removed, and pitched
on the other side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the
Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the
brooks of Arnon,
15And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border
of Moab.
16And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses,
Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver,
with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:
19And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 20And from Bamoth [in] the valley,
that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
The Defeat of Sihon
21And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22Let me pass through thy
land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the
well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high] way, until we be past thy borders. 23And Sihon
would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and
went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto
Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong.
25And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and
in all the villages thereof. 26For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had
fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and
prepared:
28For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of
Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped,
and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even
unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
The Defeat of Og
31Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 32And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took
the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
33And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against
them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 34And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not:
for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as
thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 35So they smote him, and his
sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

Balak Summons Balaam
1And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by]
Jericho.
2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3And Moab was sore
afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children
of Israel. 4And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are]
round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king
of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to
Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold,
there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide
over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they [are] too
mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them
out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is
cursed.
7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their
hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. 8And he said unto
them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me:
and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 9And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men
[are] these with thee? 10And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath
sent unto me, [saying], 11Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face
of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive
them out. 12And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the
people: for they [are] blessed. 13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of
Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 14And the
princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 16And they came to
Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee
from coming unto me: 17For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever
thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18And Balaam answered
and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you,
tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. 20And God
came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with
them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
The Angel and Balaam's Donkey
22And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for
an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him.
23And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand:
and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to
turn her into the way. 24But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being]
on this side, and a wall on that side. 25And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust
herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26And
the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where [was] no way to turn
either to the right hand or to the left. 27And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell
down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28And the
LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that
thou hast smitten me these three times? 29And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast
mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30And the ass
said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto
this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the
way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three
times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me: 33And the
ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now
also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 34And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have
sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee,
I will get me back again. 35And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but
only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes
of Balak.
36And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab,
which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast. 37And Balak said unto Balaam,
Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able
indeed to promote thee to honour? 38And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have
I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth. 40And Balak offered oxen and
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him.
41And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high
places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.

Balaam's First Oracle
1And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and
seven rams. 2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar
a bullock and a ram. 3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And
he went to an high place.
4And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered
upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram. 5And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,
Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his
burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of
the mountains of the east, [saying], Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not
defied?
9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell
alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the
death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies,
and, behold, thou hast blessed [them] altogether. 12And he answered and said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
Balaam's Second Oracle
13And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou
mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and
curse me them from thence. 14And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah,
and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar. 15And he said unto Balak,
Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder. 16And the LORD met Balaam,
and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 17And when he came to
him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto
him, What hath the LORD spoken?
18And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of
Zippor:
19God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he
said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his
God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them.
22God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel:
according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie
down until he eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 26But Balaam
answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
27And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place;
peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 28And Balak brought
Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 29And Balaam said unto Balak, Build
me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30And Balak did as
Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar.

Balaam's Third Oracle
1And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to
seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes,
and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon
him.
3And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes
are open hath said:
4He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a
trance], but having his eyes open:
5How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which
the LORD hath planted, [and] as cedar trees beside the waters.
7He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king
shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up
the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.
9He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed [is] he that
blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee.
Balak Dismisses Balaam
10And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said
unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed
[them] these three times. 11Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto
great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour. 12And Balaam said unto Balak,
Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 13If Balak would give me
his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either]
good or bad of mine own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak? 14And now, behold, I
go unto my people: come [therefore, and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy
people in the latter days.
Balaam's Fourth Oracle
15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes
are open hath said:
16He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, [which]
saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of
Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all
the children of Sheth.
18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall
do valiantly.
19Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the
city.
Balaam's Final Three Oracles
20And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the first of the
nations; but his latter end [shall be] that he perish for ever.
21And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and
thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber,
and he also shall perish for ever.
25And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

Baal Worship at Peor
(Numbers 16:41-50; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13)
1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of
Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and
bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel. 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned
away from Israel. 5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were
joined unto Baalpeor.
Phinehas Kills Zimri and Cozbi
6And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman
in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were]
weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7And when Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a
javelin in his hand; 8And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the
children of Israel. 9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Phinehas' Reward
10And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake
among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12Wherefore say, Behold, I
give unto him my covenant of peace: 13And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the
covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel.
14Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman,
[was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. 15And the name of
the Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a
people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.
A Warning against the Midianites
16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 18For they vex
you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of
Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for
Peor's sake.

The Second Census of Israel
(Numbers 1:1-4)
1And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest, saying, 2Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in
Israel. 3And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near]

Inheritance by Lot
52And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 53Unto these the land shall be divided for an

wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of Nun.

The Daughters of Zelophehad
(Numbers 36:1-13)
1Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir,
the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these [are] the names of
his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 2And they stood before Moses,
and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 3Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah;
but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 4Why should the name of our father be done away from
among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us [therefore] a possession among the
brethren of our father. 5And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
The Law of Inheritances
6And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 7The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt
surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause
the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 8And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his
daughter. 9And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 10And
if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 11And if his
father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of
his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment,
as the LORD commanded Moses.
Moses Asks for a Successor
(Deuteronomy 3:23-29)
12And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I
have given unto the children of Israel. 13And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 14For ye rebelled against my commandment
in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes:
that [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, 16Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a
man over the congregation, 17Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them,
and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be
not as sheep which have no shepherd.
Joshua to Succeed Moses
(Deuteronomy 31:7-8)
18And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit,
and lay thine hand upon him; 19And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 20And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour
upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. 21And he shall stand
before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the
LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. 22And Moses did as the LORD commanded
him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses.

The Daily Offerings
(Exodus 29:38-44)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My
offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season. 3And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering
made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by
day, [for] a continual burnt offering. 4The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other
lamb shalt thou offer at even; 5And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil. 6[It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained
in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 7And the drink offering
thereof [shall be] the fourth [part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause
the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD [for] a drink offering. 8And the other lamb shalt thou
offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt
offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
The Sabbath Offerings
9And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for]
a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: 10[This is] the burnt offering of
every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
The Monthly Offerings
11And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young
bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; 12And three tenth deals of flour
[for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat
offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; 13And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil [for] a
meat offering unto one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD. 14And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third
[part] of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth [part] of an hin unto a lamb: this [is] the burnt offering of
every month throughout the months of the year. 15And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto
the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
The Passover
(Exodus 12:14-28; Leviticus 23:4-8; Deuteronomy 16:1-8)
16And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the passover of the LORD. 17And in the fifteenth
day of this month [is] the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 18In the first day
[shall be] an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work [therein]: 19But ye shall offer
a sacrifice made by fire [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram,
and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish: 20And their meat
offering [shall be of] flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two
tenth deals for a ram; 21A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven
lambs: 22And one goat [for] a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. 23Ye shall offer these
beside the burnt offering in the morning, which [is] for a continual burnt offering. 24After this
manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering. 25And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
The Feast of Weeks
(Deuteronomy 16:9-12)
26Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your
weeks [be out], ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 27But ye shall offer

the first year; 28And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one
bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, 29A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven
lambs; 30[And] one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. 31Ye shall offer [them] beside
the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and
their drink offerings.

Laws Concerning Vows
(Matthew 5:33-37)
1And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is]
the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 2If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an
oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that
proceedeth out of his mouth.
3If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind [herself] by a bond, [being] in her father's
house in her youth; 4And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5But if her father disallow her in the day that he
heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and
the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
6And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she
bound her soul; 7And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he heard
[it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 8But if
her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she
vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and
the LORD shall forgive her.
9But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls,
shall stand against her. 10And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond
with an oath; 11And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her not:
then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 12But if
her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded
out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her
husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
13Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her
husband may make it void. 14But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day;
then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them,
because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them]. 15But if he shall any ways make
them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife,
between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house.

Vengeance on Midian
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 3And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm
some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of
Midian. 4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 5So
there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand
armed for war. 6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas
the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his
hand. 7And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all
the males. 8And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; [namely],
Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor
they slew with the sword. 9And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian captives, and
their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 10And
they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11And they took
all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts. 12And they brought the captives, and
the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet
them without the camp. 14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 15And Moses said unto
them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through
the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a
plague among the congregation of the LORD. 17Now therefore kill every male among the little
ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children,
that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 19And do ye abide without
the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,
purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20And purify
all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of
wood.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance
of the law which the LORD commanded Moses; 22Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the lead, 23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire,
and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that
abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 24And ye shall wash your clothes on the
seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Division of the Spoils
25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of
man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: 27And
divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle,
and between all the congregation: 28And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which
went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the
asses, and of the sheep: 29Take [it] of their half, and give [it] unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an
heave offering of the LORD. 30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of
fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and
give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD. 31And Moses
and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred
thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 33And threescore and twelve thousand
beeves, 34And threescore and one thousand asses, 35And thirty and two thousand persons in all,
of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred
thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep: 37And the LORD'S tribute of the
sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 38And the beeves [were] thirty and six
thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and twelve. 39And the asses [were] thirty
thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one. 40And the
persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons. 41And
Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, 43(Now the
half [that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and]
seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 44And thirty and six thousand beeves, 45And thirty
thousand asses and five hundred, 46And sixteen thousand persons;) 47Even of the children of
Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the
Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
The Voluntary Offering
48And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains
of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 49And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the
sum of the men of war which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 50We
have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold,
chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the
LORD. 51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels. 52And
all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of
the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 53([For] the men
of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) 54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of
the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation,
[for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

Reuben and Gad Ask for Gilead
(Deuteronomy 3:12-22)
1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and
when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for
cattle; 2The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to
Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying, 3Ataroth, and Dibon, and
Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 4[Even] the
country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy
servants have cattle: 5Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be
given unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
Moses Reproves Reuben and Gad
6And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to
war, and shall ye sit here? 7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? 8Thus did your fathers, when I sent
them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. 9For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and
saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the
land which the LORD had given them. 10And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he
sware, saying, 11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and
upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they
have not wholly followed me: 12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son
of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. 13And the LORD'S anger was kindled against
Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had
done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. 14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers'
stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. 15For
if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy
all this people.
Reuben and Gad Appease Moses
16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for
our little ones: 17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have
brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the
inhabitants of the land. 18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance. 19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or
forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies
from before him, 22And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and
be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the
LORD. 23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin
will find you out. 24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which
hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will
do as my lord commandeth. 26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be
there in the cities of Gilead: 27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the
LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the
chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: 29And Moses said unto them, If the children of
Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before
the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for
a possession: 30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among
you in the land of Canaan. 31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying,
As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. 32We will pass over armed before the
LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be]
ours.
Reuben and Gad Settle in Gilead
33And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and
unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and
the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the cities
of the country round about. 34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 35And
Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 36And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and
folds for sheep. 37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 38And
Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the
cities which they builded. 39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it. 40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the
son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. 41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small
towns thereof, and called them Havothjair. 42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages
thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

The Forty-Two Journeys of the Israelites
1These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with
their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And Moses wrote their goings out according to
their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their
goings out. 3And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first
month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the
sight of all the Egyptians. 4For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
5And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 6And they departed
from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which [is] in the edge of the wilderness. 7And they removed
from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched
before Migdol. 8And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the
sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in
Marah. 9And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim [were] twelve fountains
of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there. 10And they removed from
Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. 11And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the
wilderness of Sin. 12And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in
Dophkah. 13And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 14And they removed from
Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 15And they
departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 16And they removed from the
desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.
17And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 18And they departed from
Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 19And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at
Rimmonparez. 20And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah. 21And they
removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. 22And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in
Kehelathah. 23And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. 24And they
removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 25And they removed from Haradah, and
pitched in Makheloth. 26And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 27And they
departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. 28And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in
Mithcah. 29And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 30And they departed from
Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 31And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in
Benejaakan. 32And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad. 33And they
went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 34And they removed from Jotbathah, and
encamped at Ebronah. 35And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber. 36And
they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh. 37And they
removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
38And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there,
in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day]
of the fifth month. 39And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in
mount Hor.
40And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming
of the children of Israel.
41And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 42And they departed from
Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 43And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 44And
they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab. 45And they departed
from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad. 46And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in
Almondiblathaim. 47And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of
Abarim, before Nebo. 48And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains
of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho. 49And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth [even] unto
Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
Canaanites to Be Destroyed
50And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying, 51Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of
Canaan; 52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all
their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants of] the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the
land to possess it. 54And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families:
[and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less
inheritance: every man's [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the
tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. 55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in
your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. 56Moreover it
shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

The Boundaries of Canaan
(Genesis 15:8-21; Romans 4:13-25)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance,
[even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) 3Then your south quarter shall be from the
wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of
the salt sea eastward: 4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go
on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: 5And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto
the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your
west border.
7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings
forth of the border shall be to Zedad: 9And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of
it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
10And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: 11And the coast shall go
down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall
reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: 12And the border shall go down to Jordan,
and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof
round about.
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by
lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe: 14For the tribe
of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of
Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the tribe of
Manasseh have received their inheritance: 15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their
inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
Leaders to Divide the Land
16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17These [are] the names of the men which shall divide
the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18And ye shall take one prince of

Forty-Eight Cities for the Levites
(Joshua 21:1-45; 1 Chronicles 6:54-81)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their
possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round
about them. 3And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their
cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
4And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of
the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. 5And ye shall measure from without the city
on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west
side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the
midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Six Cities of Refuge
(Deuteronomy 4:41-43; Deuteronomy 19:1-14; Joshua 20:1-9)
6And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge,
which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty
and two cities. 7[So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities:
them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. 8And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the
possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from
[them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according
to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 11Then ye shall appoint you cities to be
cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
12And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until
he stand before the congregation in judgment. 13And of these cities which ye shall give six cities
shall ye have for refuge. 14Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye
give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge. 15These six cities shall be a refuge,
[both] for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that
every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
16And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer
shall surely be put to death. 17And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 18Or [if] he smite him
with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death. 19The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:
when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. 20But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying
of wait, that he die; 21Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall
surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer,
when he meeteth him.
22But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of
wait, 23Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing [him] not, and cast [it] upon him, that
he die, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm: 24Then the congregation shall judge
between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments: 25And the
congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it
unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. 26But if the slayer shall at
any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; 27And the
revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood
kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: 28Because he should have remained in the city of his
refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall
return into the land of his possession.
29So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all
your dwellings.
30Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one
witness shall not testify against any person [to cause him] to die. 31Moreover ye shall take no
satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
32And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come
again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 33So ye shall not pollute the land wherein
ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed
therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. 34Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit,
wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

Zelophehad's Daughters Marry
(Numbers 27:1-5)
1And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before
the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: 2And they said, The LORD commanded my
lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded
by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 3And if they be
married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance
be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4And when the
jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of
the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe
of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 6This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to
the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 7So shall not the inheritance of the children
of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any
tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the
children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9Neither shall the inheritance
remove from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall
keep himself to his own inheritance.
10Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 11For Mahlah, Tirzah,
and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's
brothers' sons: 12[And] they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of
Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
