The Census of Israel's Warriors

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514, in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, on the first 259 of the second 8145 month, in the second 8145 year 8141 after they had come 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559,
2 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, every 3605 male 2145, head 1538 by head 1538
3 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, whoever 3605 {is able to} go 3318 out to war 6635 in Israel 3478, you and Aaron 175 shall number 6485 them by their armies 6635.
4 "With you, moreover, there shall be a man 376 of each 376 tribe 4294, each 376 one 376 head 7218 of his father's 1 household 1004.
5 "These 428 then are the names 8034 of the men 376 who 834 shall stand 5975 with you: of Reuben 7205, Elizur 468 the son 1121 of Shedeur 7707;
6 of Simeon 8095, Shelumiel 8017 the son 1121 of Zurishaddai 6701;
7 of Judah 3063, Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992;
8 of Issachar 3485, Nethanel 5417 the son 1121 of Zuar 6686;
9 of Zebulun 2074, Eliab 446 the son 1121 of Helon 2497;
10 of the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130: of Ephraim 669, Elishama 476 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989; of Manasseh 4519, Gamaliel 1583 the son 1121 of Pedahzur 6301;
11 of Benjamin 1144, Abidan 27 the son 1121 of Gideoni 1441;
12 of Dan 1835, Ahiezer 295 the son 1121 of Ammishaddai 5996;
13 of Asher 836, Pagiel 6295 the son 1121 of Ochran 5918;
14 of Gad 1410, Eliasaph 460 the son 1121 of Deuel 1845;
15 of Naphtali 5321, Ahira 299 the son 1121 of Enan 5881.
16 "These 428 are they who 7148 were called 7148 of the congregation 5712, the leaders 5387 of their fathers' 1 tribes 4294; they were the heads 7218 of divisions 505 of Israel 3478."
17 ¶ So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 took 3947 these 428 men 376 who 834 had been designated 5344 by name 8034,
18 and they assembled 6950 all 3605 the congregation 5712 together on the first 259 of the second 8145 month 2320. Then they registered 3205 by ancestry 3205 in their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, head 1538 by head 1538,
19 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872. So he numbered 6485 them in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514.
20 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, Israel's 3478 firstborn 1060, their genealogical 8435 registration 8435 by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, according to the number 4557 of names 8034, head 1538 by head 1538, every 3605 male 2145 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, whoever 3605 {was able to} go 3318 out to war 6635,

47

Levites Exempted

The Levites 3881, however, were not numbered 6485 among 8432 them by their fathers' 1 tribe 4294.
48 For the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
49 "Only 389 the tribe 4294 of Levi 3878 you shall not number 6485, nor 3808 shall you take 5375 their census 7218 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
50 "But you shall appoint 6485 the Levites 3881 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715, and over 5921 all 3605 its furnishings 3627 and over 5921 all 3605 that belongs to it. They shall carry 5375 the tabernacle 4908 and all 3605 its furnishings 3627, and they shall take 8334 care 8334 of it; they shall also camp 2583 around 5439 the tabernacle 4908.
51 "So when the tabernacle 4908 is to set 5265 out, the Levites 3881 shall take 3381 it down 3381; and when the tabernacle 4908 encamps 2583, the Levites 3881 shall set 6965 it up. But the layman 2114 who comes 7131 near 7131 shall be put 4191 to death 4191.
52 "The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall camp 2583, each 376 man 376 by his own camp 4264, and each 376 man 376 by his own standard 1714, according to their armies 6635.
53 "But the Levites 3881 shall camp 2583 around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715, so that there will be no 3808 wrath 7110 on the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. So the Levites 3881 shall keep 8104 charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715."
54 Thus the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213; according to all 3605 which 834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 they did 6213.

33 The Levites 3881, however, were not numbered 6485 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
34 Thus the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 they camped 2583 by their standards 1714, and so 3651 they set 5265 out, every 376 one 376 by his family 4940 according 5921 to his father's 1 household 1004.

Levites to Be Priesthood

Now these 428 are {the records of} the generations 8435 of Aaron 175 and Moses 4872 at the time 3117 when the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 with Moses 4872 on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514.
2 These 428 then are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175: Nadab 5070 the firstborn 1060, and Abihu 30, Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385.
3 These 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175, the anointed 4886 priests 3548, whom 834 he ordained to serve 3547 as priests 3547.
4 But Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30 died 4191 before 6440 the LORD 3068 when they offered 7126 strange 2114 fire 784 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514; and they had 1961 no 3808 children 1121. So Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385 served 3547 as priests 3547 in the lifetime 6440 of their father 1 Aaron 175.
5 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
6 "Bring 7126 the tribe 4294 of Levi 3878 near 7126 and set 5975 them before 6440 Aaron 175 the priest 3548, that they may serve 8334 him.
7 "They shall perform 8104 the duties 4931 for him and for the whole 3605 congregation 5712 before 6440 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, to do 5647 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908.
8 "They shall also keep 8104 all 3605 the furnishings 3627 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, along with the duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to do 5647 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908.
9 "You shall thus give 5414 the Levites 3881 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121; they are wholly 5414 given 5414 to him from among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
10 "So you shall appoint 6485 Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 that they may keep 8104 their priesthood 3550, but the layman 2114 who comes 7131 near 7131 shall be put 4191 to death 4191."
11 ¶ Again the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
12 "Now, behold 2009, I have taken 3947 the Levites 3881 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 instead 8478 of every 3605 firstborn 1060, the first 6363 issue 6363 of the womb 7358 among 4480 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. So the Levites 3881 shall be Mine.
13 "For all 3605 the firstborn 1060 are Mine; on the day 3117 that I struck 5221 down 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, I sanctified 6942 to Myself all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in Israel 3478, from man 120 to beast 929. They shall be Mine; I am the LORD 3068."
14 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514, saying 559,
15 "Number 6485 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 by their fathers' 1 households 1004, by their families 4940; every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605 you shall number 6485."
16 So Moses 4872 numbered 6485 them according 5921 to the word 6310 of the LORD 3068, just 3512 as he had been commanded 6680.
17 These 428 then are the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 by their names 8034: Gershon 1648 and Kohath 6955 and Merari 4847.
18 These 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 by their families 4940: Libni 3845 and Shimei 8096;

Duties of the Priests

Now the duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 {involved} the tabernacle 4908 and the tent 168, its covering 4372, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150,
26 and the hangings 7050 of the court 2691, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the court 2691 which 834 is around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 and the altar 4196, and its cords 4340, according to all 3605 the service 5656 concerning them.
27 ¶ Of Kohath 6955 {was} the family 4940 of the Amramites 6020 and the family 4940 of the Izharites 3325 and the family 4940 of the Hebronites 2276 and the family 4940 of the Uzzielites 5817; these 428 were the families 4940 of the Kohathites 6956.
28 In the numbering 4557 of every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {there were} 8,600, performing 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 6944.
29 The families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 were to camp 2583 on the southward 8486 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908,
30 and the leader 5387 of the fathers' 1 households 1004 of the Kohathite 6956 families 4940 was Elizaphan 469 the son 1121 of Uzziel 5816.
31 Now their duties 4931 {involved} the ark 727, the table 7979, the lampstand 4501, the altars 4196, and the utensils 3627 of the sanctuary 6944 with which 834 they minister 8334, and the screen 4539, and all 3605 the service 5656 concerning them;
32 and Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548 {was} the chief 5387 of the leaders 5387 of Levi 3878, {and had} the oversight 6486 of those who perform 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 6944.
33 ¶ Of Merari 4847 {was} the family 4940 of the Mahlites 4250 and the family 4940 of the Mushites 4188; these 428 {were} the families 4940 of Merari 4847.
34 Their numbered 6485 men in the numbering 4557 of every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {were} 6,200.
35 The leader 5387 of the fathers' 1 households 1004 of the families 4940 of Merari 4847 {was} Zuriel 6700 the son 1121 of Abihail 32. They {were} to camp 2583 on the northward 6828 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908.
36 Now the appointed 6486 duties 4931 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 {involved} the frames 7175 of the tabernacle 4908, its bars 1280, its pillars 5982, its sockets 134, all 3605 its equipment 3627, and the service 5656 concerning them,
37 and the pillars 5982 around 5439 the court 2691 with their sockets 134 and their pegs 3489 and their cords 4340.
38 ¶ Now those who were to camp 2583 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 eastward 6924, before 6440 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 toward the sunrise 4217, are Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and his sons 1121, performing 8104 the duties 4931 of the sanctuary 4720 for the obligation 4931 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; but the layman 2114 coming 7131 near 7131 was to be put 4191 to death 4191.
39 All 3605 the numbered 6485 men of the Levites 3881, whom 834 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 numbered 6485 at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 by their families 4940, every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, {were} 22,000.
40

Firstborn Redeemed

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Number 6485 every 3605 firstborn 1060 male 2145 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, and make 5375 a list 4557 of their names 8034.
41 "You shall take 3947 the Levites 3881 for Me, I am the LORD 3068, instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and the cattle 929 of the Levites 3881 instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the cattle 929 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
42 So Moses 4872 numbered 6485 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him;
43 and all 3605 the firstborn 1060 males 2145 by the number 4557 of names 8034 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, for their numbered 6485 men were 22,273.
44 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
45 "Take 3947 the Levites 3881 instead 8478 of all 3605 the firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and the cattle 929 of the Levites 3881. And the Levites 3881 shall be Mine; I am the LORD 3068.
46 "For the ransom 6299 of the 273 of the firstborn 1060 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 who are in excess 5736 beyond 5921 the Levites 3881,
47 you shall take 3947 five 2568 shekels 8255 apiece 2568, per head 1538; you shall take 3947 {them} in terms of the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944 (the shekel 8255 is twenty 6242 gerahs 1626),
48 and give 5414 the money 3701, the ransom 6302 of those who are in excess 5736 among them, to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121."
49 So Moses 4872 took 3947 the ransom 6302 money 3701 from those who were in excess 5736, beyond 5921 those ransomed 6299 by the Levites 3881;
50 from the firstborn 1060 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 he took 3947 the money 3701 in terms of the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, 1,365.
51 Then Moses 4872 gave 5414 the ransom 6299 money 3701 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121, at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.

Duties of the Kohathites

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, saying 559,
2 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of the descendants 1121 of Kohath 6955 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878, by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004,
3 from thirty 7970 years 8141 and upward 4605, even to fifty 2572 years 8141 old 1121, all 3605 who enter 935 the service 6635 to do 6213 the work 4399 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
4 "This 2088 is the work 5656 of the descendants 1121 of Kohath 6955 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, {concerning} the most 6944 holy 6944 things 6944.
5 ¶ "When the camp 4264 sets 5265 out, Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall go 935 in and they shall take 3381 down 3381 the veil 6532 of the screen 4539 and cover 3680 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715 with it;
6 and they shall lay 5414 a covering 3681 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785 on it, and shall spread 6566 over 4605 {it} a cloth 899 of pure 3632 blue 8504, and shall insert 7760 its poles 905.
7 "Over 5921 the table 7979 of the bread of the Presence 6440 they shall also spread 6566 a cloth 899 of blue 8504 and put 5414 on it the dishes 7086 and the pans 3709 and the sacrificial 4518 bowls 4518 and the jars 7184 for the drink 5262 offering 5262, and the continual 8548 bread 3899 shall be on it.
8 "They shall spread 6566 over 5921 them a cloth 899 of scarlet 8144 {material,} and cover 3680 the same 853 with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and they shall insert 7760 its poles 905.
9 "Then they shall take 3947 a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 the lampstand 4501 for the light 3974, along with its lamps 5216 and its snuffers 4457, and its trays 4289 and all 3605 its oil 8081 vessels 3627, by which 834 they serve 8334 it;
10 and they shall put 5414 it and all 3605 its utensils 3627 in a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and shall put 5414 it on the carrying 4132 bars 4132.
11 "Over 5921 the golden 2091 altar 4196 they shall spread 6566 a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 it with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and shall insert 7760 its poles 905;
12 and they shall take 3947 all 3605 the utensils 3627 of service 8335, with which 834 they serve 8334 in the sanctuary 6944, and put 5414 them in a blue 8504 cloth 899 and cover 3680 them with a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785, and put 5414 them on the carrying 4132 bars 4132.
13 "Then they shall take 1878 away 1878 the ashes 1878 from the altar 4196, and spread 6566 a purple 713 cloth 899 over 5921 it.
14 "They shall also put 5414 on it all 3605 its utensils 3627 by which 834 they serve 8334 in connection 5921 with it: the firepans 4289, the forks 4207 and shovels 3257 and the basins 4219, all 3605 the utensils 3627 of the altar 4196; and they shall spread 6566 a cover 3681 of porpoise 8476 skin 5785 over 5921 it and insert 7760 its poles 905.
15 "When Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 have finished 3615 covering 3680 the holy 6944 {objects} and all 3605 the furnishings 3627 of the sanctuary 6944, when the camp 4264 is to set 5265 out, after 310 that the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 shall come 935 to carry 5375 {them,} so that they will not touch 5060 the holy 6944 {objects} and die 4191. These 428 are the things 4853 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 which the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 are to carry 4853.
16 ¶ "The responsibility 6486 of Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548 is the oil 8081 for the light 3974 and the fragrant 5561 incense 7004 and the continual 8548 grain offering 4503 and the anointing 4888 oil 8081--the responsibility 6486 of all 3605 the tabernacle 4908 and of all 3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary 6944 and its furnishings 3627."
17 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, saying 559,
18 "Do not let the tribe 7626 of the families 4940 of the Kohathites 6956 be cut 3772 off 3772 from among 8432 the Levites 3881.
19 "But do 6213 this 2088 to them that they may live 2421 and not die 4191 when they approach 5066 the most 6944 holy 6944 {objects:} Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall go 935 in and assign 7760 each 376 of them to his work 5656 and to his load 4853;
20 but they shall not go 935 in to see 7200 the holy 6944 {objects} even for a moment 1104, or they will die 4191."
21

Duties of the Gershonites

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
22 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 also 1571, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, by their families 4940;

28 "This 2088 is the service 5656 of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of the Gershonites 1649 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and their duties 4931 {shall be} under the direction 3027 of Ithamar 385 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548.
29

Duties of the Merarites

¶ "{As for} the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, you shall number 6485 them by their families 4940, by their fathers' 1 households 1004;

31 "Now this 2088 is the duty 4931 of their loads 4853, for all 3605 their service 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150: the boards 7175 of the tabernacle 4908 and its bars 1280 and its pillars 5982 and its sockets 134,
32 and the pillars 5982 around 5439 the court 2691 and their sockets 134 and their pegs 3489 and their cords 4340, with all 3605 their equipment 3627 and with all 3605 their service 5656; and you shall assign 6485 {each man} by name 8034 the items 3627 he is to carry 4853.

34 ¶ So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 numbered 6485 the sons 1121 of the Kohathites 6956 by their families 4940 and by their fathers' 1 households 1004,

Chapter 5

On Defilement

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Command 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 that they send 7971 away 7971 from the camp 4264 every 3605 leper 6879 and everyone 3605 having a discharge 2100 and everyone 3605 who is unclean 2931 because of a {dead} person 5315.
3 "You shall send 7971 away 7971 both 4480 male 2145 and female 5347; you shall send 7971 them outside the camp 4264 so that they will not defile 2930 their camp 4264 where 834 I dwell 7931 in their midst 8432."
4 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 so 3651 and sent 7971 them outside the camp 4264; just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872, thus 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213.
5 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
6 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'When 3588 a man 376 or 176 woman 802 commits 6213 any of the sins 2403 of mankind 120, acting 4603 unfaithfully 4604 against the LORD 3068, and that person 5315 is guilty 816,
7 then he shall confess 3034 his sins 2403 which 834 he has committed 6213, and he shall make 7725 restitution 7725 in full 7218 for his wrong 817 and add 3254 to it one-fifth 2549 of it, and give 5414 {it} to him whom 834 he has wronged 816.
8 'But if 518 the man 376 has 369 no 369 relative 1350 to whom restitution 7725 may be made 7725 for the wrong 817, the restitution 7725 which is made 7725 for the wrong 817 {must go} to the LORD 3068 for the priest 3548, besides the ram 352 of atonement 3725, by which 834 atonement 3722 is made 3722 for him.
9 'Also every 3605 contribution 8641 pertaining to all 3605 the holy 6944 {gifts} of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, which 834 they offer 7126 to the priest 3548, shall be his.
10 'So every 376 man's 376 holy 6944 {gifts} shall be his; whatever 834 any 376 man 376 gives 5414 to the priest 3548, it becomes 1961 his.'"

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
12 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'If 3588 any 376 man's 376 wife 802 goes 7847 astray 7847 and is unfaithful 4604 to him,
13 and a man 376 has 7901 intercourse with her and it is hidden 5956 from the eyes 5869 of her husband 376 and she is undetected 5641, although she has defiled 2930 herself 1931, and there 369 is no 369 witness 5707 against her and she has not been caught 8610 in the act,
14 if a spirit 7307 of jealousy 7068 comes 5674 over 5921 him and he is jealous 7065 of his wife 802 when she has defiled 2930 herself, or 176 if a spirit 7307 of jealousy 7068 comes 5674 over 5921 him and he is jealous 7065 of his wife 802 when she has not defiled 2930 herself,
15 the man 376 shall then bring 935 his wife 802 to the priest 3548, and shall bring 935 {as} an offering 7133 for her one-tenth 6224 of an ephah 374 of barley 8184 meal 7058; he shall not pour 3332 oil 8081 on it nor 3808 put 5414 frankincense 3828 on it, for it is a grain offering 4503 of jealousy 7068, a grain offering 4503 of memorial 2146, a reminder 2142 of iniquity 5771.
16 ¶ 'Then the priest 3548 shall bring 7126 her near 7126 and have her stand 5975 before 6440 the LORD 3068,
17 and the priest 3548 shall take 3947 holy 6918 water 4325 in an earthenware 2789 vessel 3627; and he shall take 3947 some 4480 of the dust 6083 that is on the floor 7172 of the tabernacle 4908 and put 5414 {it} into the water 4325.
18 'The priest 3548 shall then have the woman 802 stand 5975 before 6440 the LORD 3068 and let 6544 {the hair of} the woman's 802 head 7218 go 6544 loose 6544, and place 5414 the grain offering 4503 of memorial 2146 in her hands 3709, which 1931 is the grain offering 4503 of jealousy 7068, and in the hand 3027 of the priest 3548 is to be the water 4325 of bitterness 4751 that brings 779 a curse 779.
19 'The priest 3548 shall have her take 7650 an oath 7650 and shall say 559 to the woman 802, "If 518 no 3808 man 376 has lain 7901 with you and if 518 you have not gone 7847 astray 7847 into uncleanness 2932, {being} under 8478 {the authority of} your husband 376, be immune 5352 to this 428 water 4325 of bitterness 4751 that brings 779 a curse 779;
20 if 3588 you, however, have gone 7847 astray 7847, {being} under 8478 {the authority of} your husband 376, and if 3588 you have defiled 2930 yourself and a man 376 other 1107 than 1107 your husband 376 has 5414 had 5414 intercourse 7903 with you"
21 (then the priest 3548 shall have the woman 802 swear 7650 with the oath 7621 of the curse 423, and the priest 3548 shall say 559 to the woman 802), "the LORD 3068 make 5414 you a curse 423 and an oath 7621 among 8432 your people 5971 by the LORD'S 3068 making 5414 your thigh 3409 waste 5307 away 5307 and your abdomen 990 swell 6639;
22 and this 428 water 4325 that brings 779 a curse 779 shall go 935 into your stomach 4578, and make your abdomen 990 swell 6638 and your thigh 3409 waste 5307 away 5307." And the woman 802 shall say 559, "Amen 543. Amen 543."
23 ¶ 'The priest 3548 shall then write 3789 these 428 curses 423 on a scroll 5612, and he shall wash 4229 them off 4229 into the water 4325 of bitterness 4751.
24 'Then he shall make the woman 802 drink 8248 the water 4325 of bitterness 4751 that brings 779 a curse 779, so that the water 4325 which brings 779 a curse 779 will go 935 into her and {cause} bitterness 4751.
25 'The priest 3548 shall take 3947 the grain offering 4503 of jealousy 7068 from the woman's 802 hand 3027, and he shall wave 5130 the grain offering 4503 before 6440 the LORD 3068 and bring 7126 it to the altar 4196;
26 and the priest 3548 shall take 7061 a handful 7061 of the grain offering 4503 as its memorial 234 offering 234 and offer 6999 {it} up in smoke 6999 on the altar 4196, and afterward 310 he shall make the woman 802 drink 8248 the water 4325.
27 'When he has made her drink 8248 the water 4325, then it shall come 1961 about, if 518 she has defiled 2930 herself and has been 4603 unfaithful 4604 to her husband 376, that the water 4325 which brings 779 a curse 779 will go 935 into her and {cause} bitterness 4751, and her abdomen 990 will swell 6638 and her thigh 3409 will waste 5307 away 5307, and the woman 802 will become 1961 a curse 423 among 7130 her people 5971.
28 'But if 518 the woman 802 has not defiled 2930 herself and is clean 2889, she will then be free 5352 and conceive 2232 children 2233.
29 ¶ 'This 2088 is the law 8451 of jealousy 7068: when 834 a wife 802, {being} under 8478 {the authority of} her husband 376, goes 7847 astray 7847 and defiles 2930 herself,
30 or 176 when 834 a spirit 7307 of jealousy 7068 comes 5674 over 5921 a man 376 and he is jealous 7065 of his wife 802, he shall then make the woman 802 stand 5975 before 6440 the LORD 3068, and the priest 3548 shall apply 6213 all 3605 this 2088 law 8451 to her.
31 'Moreover, the man 376 will be free 5352 from guilt 5771, but that woman 802 shall bear 5375 her guilt 5771.'"

Law of the Nazirites

Again the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 a man 376 or 176 woman 802 makes 6381 a special 6381 vow 5087, the vow 5088 of a Nazirite 5139, to dedicate 5144 himself to the LORD 3068,
3 he shall abstain 5144 from wine 3196 and strong 7941 drink 7941; he shall drink 7941 no 3808 vinegar 2558, whether made from wine 3196 or strong 7941 drink 8354, nor 3808 shall he drink 8354 any 3605 grape 6025 juice 4952 nor 3808 eat 398 fresh 3892 or dried 3002 grapes 6025.
4 'All 3605 the days 3117 of his separation 5145 he shall not eat 398 anything that is produced 6213 by the grape 3196 vine 1612, from {the} seeds 2785 even to {the} skin 2085.
5 ¶ 'All 3605 the days 3117 of his vow 5088 of separation 5145 no 3808 razor 8593 shall pass 5674 over 5921 his head 7218. He shall be holy 6918 until 5704 the days 3117 are fulfilled 4390 for which 834 he separated 5144 himself to the LORD 3068; he shall let the locks 6545 of hair 8181 on his head 7218 grow 1431 long 1431.
6 ¶ 'All 3605 the days 3117 of his separation 5144 to the LORD 3068 he shall not go 935 near to a dead 4191 person 5315.
7 'He shall not make 2930 himself unclean 2930 for his father 1 or for his mother 517, for his brother 251 or for his sister 269, when they die 4194, because 3588 his separation 5145 to God 430 is on his head 7218.
8 'All 3605 the days 3117 of his separation 5145 he is holy 6918 to the LORD 3068.
9 ¶ 'But if 3588 a man dies 4191 very 6621 suddenly 6597 beside 5921 him and he defiles 2930 his dedicated 5145 head 7218 {of hair,} then he shall shave 1548 his head 7218 on the day 3117 when he becomes 2893 clean 2893; he shall shave 1548 it on the seventh 7637 day 3117.
10 'Then on the eighth 8066 day 3117 he shall bring 935 two 8147 turtledoves 8449 or 176 two 8147 young 1121 pigeons 3123 to the priest 3548, to the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
11 'The priest 3548 shall offer 6213 one 259 for a sin 2403 offering 2403 and {the} other 259 for a burnt 5930 offering 5930, and make 3722 atonement 3722 for him concerning his sin 2398 because 5921 of the {dead} person 5315. And that same 1931 day 3117 he shall consecrate 6942 his head 7218,
12 and shall dedicate 5144 to the LORD 3068 his days 3117 as a Nazirite 5145, and shall bring 935 a male 3532 lamb 3532 a year 8141 old 1121 for a guilt 817 offering 817; but the former 7223 days 3117 will be void 5307 because 3588 his separation 5145 was defiled 2930.
13 ¶ 'Now this 2088 is the law 8451 of the Nazirite 5139 when 3117 the days 3117 of his separation 5145 are fulfilled 4390, he shall bring 935 the offering to the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
14 'He shall present 7126 his offering 7133 to the LORD 3068: one 259 male 3532 lamb 3532 a year 8141 old 1121 without 8549 defect 8549 for a burnt 5930 offering 5930 and one 259 ewe-lamb 3535 a year 8141 old 1323 without 8549 defect 8549 for a sin 2403 offering 2403 and one 259 ram 352 without 8549 defect 8549 for a peace 8002 offering 8002,
15 and a basket 5536 of unleavened 4682 cakes 2471 of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 and unleavened 4682 wafers 7550 spread 4886 with oil 8081, along with their grain offering 4503 and their drink 5262 offering 4503.
16 'Then the priest 3548 shall present 7126 {them} before 6440 the LORD 3068 and shall offer 6213 his sin 2403 offering 2403 and his burnt 5930 offering 5930.
17 'He shall also offer 6213 the ram 352 for a sacrifice 2077 of peace 8002 offerings 8002 to the LORD 3068, together 5921 with the basket 5536 of unleavened 4682 cakes 4682; the priest 3548 shall likewise offer 6213 its grain offering 4503 and its drink 5262 offering 5262.
18 'The Nazirite 5139 shall then shave 1548 his dedicated 5145 head 7218 {of hair} at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and take 3947 the dedicated 5145 hair 8181 of his head 7218 and put 5414 {it} on the fire 784 which 834 is under 8478 the sacrifice 2077 of peace 8002 offerings 8002.
19 'The priest 3548 shall take 3947 the ram's 352 shoulder 2220 {when it has been} boiled 1311, and one 259 unleavened 4682 cake 2471 out of the basket 5536 and one 259 unleavened 4682 wafer 7550, and shall put 5414 {them} on the hands 3709 of the Nazirite 5139 after 310 he has shaved 1548 his dedicated 5145 {hair.}
20 'Then the priest 3548 shall wave 5130 them for a wave 8573 offering 8573 before 6440 the LORD 3068. It is holy 6944 for the priest 3548, together 5921 with the breast 2373 offered 8573 by waving 8573 and the thigh 7785 offered 8641 by lifting 8641 up; and afterward 310 the Nazirite 5139 may drink 8354 wine 3196.'
21 ¶ "This 2088 is the law 8451 of the Nazirite 5139 who 834 vows 5087 his offering 7133 to the LORD 3068 according 5921 to his separation 5145, in addition to what 834 {else} he can afford; according to his vow 5087 which 834 he takes 5087, so 3651 he shall do 6213 according 5921 to the law 8451 of his separation 5145."
22

Aaron's Benediction

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
23 "Speak 1696 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121, saying 559, 'Thus 3541 you shall bless 1288 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. You shall say 559 to them:
24 ¶ The LORD 3068 bless 1288 you, and keep 8104 you;
25 ¶ The LORD 3068 make 215 His face 6440 shine 215 on you, And be gracious 2603 to you;
26 ¶ The LORD 3068 lift 5375 up His countenance 6440 on you, And give 7760 you peace 7965.'
27 "So they shall invoke 7760 My name 8034 on the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and I {then} will bless 1288 them."

Offerings of the Leaders

Now on the day 3117 that Moses 4872 had finished 3615 setting 6965 up the tabernacle 4908, he anointed 4886 it and consecrated 6942 it with all 3605 its furnishings 3627 and the altar 4196 and all 3605 its utensils 3627; he anointed 4886 them and consecrated 6942 them also.
2 Then the leaders 5387 of Israel 3478, the heads 7218 of their fathers' 1 households 1004, made 7126 an offering 7126 (they were the leaders 5387 of the tribes 4294; they were the ones who were over 5921 the numbered 6485 men).
3 When they brought 935 their offering 7133 before 6440 the LORD 3068, six 8337 covered 6632 carts 5699 and twelve oxen 1241, a cart 5699 for {every} two 8147 of the leaders 5387 and an ox 7794 for each one 259, then they presented 7126 them before 6440 the tabernacle 4908.
4 Then the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
5 "Accept 3947 {these things} from them, that they may be used 5647 in the service 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and you shall give 5414 them to the Levites 3881, {to} each 376 man 376 according 6310 to his service 5656."
6 So Moses 4872 took 3947 the carts 5699 and the oxen 1241 and gave 5414 them to the Levites 3881.
7 Two 8147 carts 5699 and four 702 oxen 1241 he gave 5414 to the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648, according 6310 to their service 5656,
8 and four 702 carts 5699 and eight 8083 oxen 1241 he gave 5414 to the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, according 6310 to their service 5656, under the direction 3027 of Ithamar 385 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548.
9 But he did not give 5414 {any} to the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 because 3588 theirs {was} the service 5656 of the holy 6944 {objects, which} they carried 5375 on the shoulder 3802.
10 ¶ The leaders 5387 offered 7126 the dedication 2598 {offering} for the altar 4196 when 3117 it was anointed 4886, so the leaders 5387 offered 7126 their offering 7133 before 6440 the altar 4196.
11 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Let them present 7126 their offering 7133, one 259 leader 5387 each 259 day 3117, for the dedication 2598 of the altar 4196."
12 ¶ Now the one who presented 7126 his offering 7133 on the first 7223 day 3117 was Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992, of the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063;
13 and his offering 7133 {was} one 259 silver 3701 dish 7086 whose weight 4948 {was} one hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 {shekels,} one 259 silver 3701 bowl 4219 of seventy 7657 shekels 8255, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, both 8147 of them full 4392 of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 for a grain offering 4503;
14 one 259 gold 2091 pan 3709 of ten 6235 {shekels,} full 4392 of incense 7004;
15 one 259 bull, one 259 ram 352, one 259 male 3532 lamb 3532 one year 8141 old 1121, for a burnt 5930 offering 5930;
16 one 259 male 8163 goat 5795 for a sin 2403 offering 2403;
17 and for the sacrifice 2077 of peace 8002 offerings 8002, two 8147 oxen 1241, five 2568 rams 352, five 2568 male 6260 goats 6260, five 2568 male 3532 lambs 3532 one year 8141 old 1121. This 2088 {was} the offering 7133 of Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992.
18 ¶ On the second 8145 day 3117 Nethanel 5417 the son 1121 of Zuar 6686, leader 5387 of Issachar 3485, presented 7126 {an offering;}
19 he presented 7126 as his offering 7133 one 259 silver 3701 dish 7086 whose weight 4948 {was} one hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 {shekels,} one silver 3701 bowl 4219 of seventy 7657 shekels 8255, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, both 8147 of them full 4392 of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 for a grain offering 4503;
20 one 259 gold 2091 pan 3709 of ten 6235 {shekels,} full 4392 of incense 7004;
21 one 259 bull, one 259 ram 352, one 259 male 3532 lamb 3532 one year 8141 old 1121, for a burnt 5930 offering 5930;
22 one 259 male 8163 goat 5795 for a sin 2403 offering 2403;
23 and for the sacrifice 2077 of peace 8002 offerings 8002, two 8147 oxen 1241, five 2568 rams 352, five 2568 male 6260 goats 6260, five 2568 male 3532 lambs 3532 one year 8141 old 1121. This 2088 {was} the offering 7133 of Nethanel 5417 the son 1121 of Zuar 6686.
24 ¶ On the third 7992 day 3117 {it was} Eliab 446 the son 1121 of Helon 2497, leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Zebulun 2074;
25 his offering 7133 {was} one 259 silver 3701 dish 7086 whose weight 4948 {was} one hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 {shekels,} one 259 silver 3701 bowl 4219 of seventy 7657 shekels 8255, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, both 8147 of them full 4392 of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 for a grain offering 4503;

30 ¶ On the fourth 7243 day 3117 {it was} Elizur 468 the son 1121 of Shedeur 7707, leader 5387 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205;
31 his offering 7133 {was} one 259 silver 3701 dish 7086 whose weight 4948 {was} one hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 {shekels,} one 259 silver 3701 bowl 4219 of seventy 7657 shekels 8255, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, both 8147 of them full 4392 of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 for a grain offering 4503;

Chapter 8


1

The Seven Lamps

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Speak 1696 to Aaron 175 and say 559 to him, 'When you mount 5927 the lamps 5216, the seven 7651 lamps 5216 will give 215 light 215 in the front 6440 of the lampstand 4501.'"
3 Aaron 175 therefore did 6213 so 3651; he mounted 5927 its lamps 5216 at the front 6440 of the lampstand 4501, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
4 Now this 2088 was the workmanship 4639 of the lampstand 4501, hammered 4749 work 4749 of gold 2091; from its base 3409 to its flowers 6525 it was hammered 4749 work 4749; according to the pattern 4758 which 834 the LORD 3068 had shown 7200 Moses 4872, so 3651 he made 6213 the lampstand 4501.
5

Cleansing the Levites

¶ Again the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
6 "Take 3947 the Levites 3881 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and cleanse 2891 them.
7 "Thus 3541 you shall do 6213 to them, for their cleansing 2891: {sprinkle} purifying 2891 water 4325 on them, and let them use 5674 a razor 8593 over 5921 their whole 3605 body 1320 and wash 3526 their clothes 899, and they will be clean 2891.
8 "Then let them take 3947 a bull with its grain offering 4503, fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081; and a second 8145 bull 6499 you shall take 3947 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
9 "So you shall present 7126 the Levites 3881 before 6440 the tent 168 of meeting 4150. You shall also assemble 6950 the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478,
10 and present 7126 the Levites 3881 before 6440 the LORD 3068; and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall lay 5564 their hands 3027 on the Levites 3881.
11 "Aaron 175 then shall present 5130 the Levites 3881 before 6440 the LORD 3068 as a wave 8573 offering 8573 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, that they may qualify 1961 to perform 5647 the service 5656 of the LORD 3068.
12 "Now the Levites 3881 shall lay 5564 their hands 3027 on the heads 7218 of the bulls 6499; then offer 6213 the one 259 for a sin 2403 offering 2403 and the other 259 for a burnt 5930 offering 5930 to the LORD 3068, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for the Levites 3881.
13 "You shall have the Levites 3881 stand 5975 before 6440 Aaron 175 and before 6440 his sons 1121 so as to present 5130 them as a wave 8573 offering 8573 to the LORD 3068.
14 ¶ "Thus you shall separate 914 the Levites 3881 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and the Levites 3881 shall be Mine.
15 "Then after 310 that the Levites 3881 may go 935 in to serve 5647 the tent 168 of meeting 4150. But you shall cleanse 2891 them and present 5130 them as a wave 8573 offering 8573;
16 for they are wholly 5414 given 5414 to Me from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478. I have taken 3947 them for Myself instead 8478 of every 3605 first 6363 issue 6363 of the womb 7358, the firstborn 1060 of all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
17 "For every 3605 firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 is Mine, among the men 120 and among the animals 929; on the day 3117 that I struck 5221 down 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 I sanctified 6942 them for Myself.
18 "But I have taken 3947 the Levites 3881 instead 8478 of every 3605 firstborn 1060 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
19 "I have given 5414 the Levites 3881 as a gift 5414 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to perform 5647 the service 5656 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 at the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and to make 3722 atonement 3722 on behalf 5921 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, so that there will be no 3808 plague 5063 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 by their coming 5066 near 5066 to the sanctuary 6944."
20 ¶ Thus did 6213 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to the Levites 3881; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872 concerning the Levites 3881, so 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 to them.
21 The Levites 3881, too, purified 2398 themselves from sin 2398 and washed 3526 their clothes 899; and Aaron 175 presented 5130 them as a wave 8573 offering 8573 before 6440 the LORD 3068. Aaron 175 also made 3722 atonement 3722 for them to cleanse 2891 them.
22 Then after 310 that the Levites 3881 went 935 in to perform 5647 their service 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 before 6440 Aaron 175 and before 6440 his sons 1121; just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872 concerning 5921 the Levites 3881, so 3651 they did 6213 to them.
23

Retirement

¶ Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
24 "This 2088 is what 834 {applies} to the Levites 3881: from twenty-five years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605 they shall enter 935 to perform 6633 service 6635 in the work 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
25 "But at the age 1121 of fifty 2572 years 8141 they shall retire 7725 from service 6635 in the work 5656 and not work 5647 any 5750 more 5750.
26 "They may, however, assist 8334 their brothers 251 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, to keep 8104 an obligation 4931, but they {themselves} shall do 5647 no 3808 work 5656. Thus 3602 you shall deal 6213 with the Levites 3881 concerning their obligations 4931."

Chapter 9


1

The Passover

Thus the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514, in the first 7223 month 2320 of the second 8145 year 8141 after they had come 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559,
2 "Now, let the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 observe 6213 the Passover 6453 at its appointed 4150 time 4150.
3 "On the fourteenth day 3117 of this 2088 month 2320, at twilight 6153, you shall observe 6213 it at its appointed 4150 time 4150; you shall observe 6213 it according to all 3605 its statutes 2708 and according to all 3605 its ordinances 4941."
4 So Moses 4872 told 1696 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to observe 6213 the Passover 6453.
5 They observed 6213 the Passover 6453 in the first 7223 {month,} on the fourteenth day 3117 of the month 2320, at twilight 6153, in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213.
6 But there were {some} men 376 who 834 were unclean 2931 because of {the} dead 5315 person 5315, so that they could 3201 not observe 6213 Passover 6453 on that day 3117; so they came 7126 before 6440 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 on that day 3117.
7 Those 1992 men 376 said 559 to him, "{Though} we are unclean 2931 because of {the} dead 5315 person 5315, why 4100 are we restrained 1639 from presenting 7126 the offering 7133 of the LORD 3068 at its appointed 4150 time 4150 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478?"
8 Moses 4872 therefore said 559 to them, "Wait 5975, and I will listen 8085 to what 4100 the LORD 3068 will command 6680 concerning you."
9 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
10 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'If 3588 any 376 one 376 of you or 176 of your generations 1755 becomes 1961 unclean 2931 because of a {dead} person 5315, or 176 is on a distant 7350 journey 1870, he may, however, observe 6213 the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068.
11 'In the second 8145 month 2320 on the fourteenth day 3117 at twilight 6153, they shall observe 6213 it; they shall eat 398 it with unleavened 4682 bread 4682 and bitter 4844 herbs 4844.
12 'They shall leave 7604 none 3808 of it until 5704 morning 1242, nor 3808 break 7665 a bone 6106 of it; according to all 3605 the statute 2708 of the Passover 6453 they shall observe 6213 it.
13 'But the man 376 who 834 is clean 2889 and is not on a journey 1870, and yet neglects 2308 to observe 6213 the Passover 6453, that person 5315 shall then be cut 3772 off 3772 from his people 5971, for he did not present 7126 the offering 7133 of the LORD 3068 at its appointed 4150 time 4150. That man 376 will bear 5375 his sin 2399.
14 'If 3588 an alien 1616 sojourns 1481 among 854 you and observes 6213 the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068, according to the statute 2708 of the Passover 6453 and according to its ordinance 4941, so 3651 he shall do 6213; you shall have 1961 one 259 statute 2708, both for the alien 1616 and for the native 249 of the land 776.'"
15

The Cloud on the Tabernacle

¶ Now on the day 3117 that the tabernacle 4908 was erected 6965 the cloud 6051 covered 3680 the tabernacle 4908, the tent 168 of the testimony 5715, and in the evening 6153 it was like the appearance 4758 of fire 784 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, until 5704 morning 1242.
16 So 3651 it was continuously 8548; the cloud 6051 would cover 3680 it {by day,} and the appearance 4758 of fire 784 by night 3915.
17 Whenever 6310 the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927 from over 5921 the tent 168, afterward the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would then set 5265 out; and in the place 4725 where the cloud 6051 settled 7931 down 7931, there 8033 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would camp 2583.
18 At the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would set 5265 out, and at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they would camp 2583; as long as the cloud 6051 settled 7931 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, they remained 2583 camped 2583.
19 Even when the cloud 6051 lingered 748 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 for many 7227 days 3117, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would keep 8104 the LORD'S 3068 charge 4931 and not set 5265 out.
20 If sometimes 3426 the cloud 6051 remained 1961 a few 4557 days 3117 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they remained 2583 camped 2583. Then according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they set 5265 out.
21 If sometimes 3426 the cloud 6051 remained 1961 from evening 6153 until 5704 morning 1242, when the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927 in the morning 1242, they would move 5265 out; or 176 {if it remained} in the daytime 3119 and at night 3915, whenever the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927, they would set 5265 out.
22 Whether 176 it was two days 3117 or 176 a month 2320 or 176 a year 3117 that the cloud 6051 lingered 748 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, staying 7931 above 5921 it, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 remained 2583 camped 2583 and did not set 5265 out; but when it was lifted 5927, they did set 5265 out.
23 At the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they camped 2583, and at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they set 5265 out; they kept 8104 the LORD'S 3068 charge 4931, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Moses 4872.

The Silver Trumpets

The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 further to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Make 6213 yourself two 8147 trumpets 2689 of silver 3701, of hammered 4749 work 4749 you shall make 6213 them; and you shall use 1961 them for summoning 4744 the congregation 5712 and for having the camps 4264 set 4550 out.
3 "When both 1992 are blown 8628, all 3605 the congregation 5712 shall gather 3259 themselves to you at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
4 "Yet if 518 {only} one 259 is blown 8628, then the leaders 5387, the heads 7218 of the divisions 505 of Israel 3478, shall assemble 3259 before 413 you.
5 "But when you blow 8628 an alarm 8643, the camps 4264 that are pitched 2583 on the east 6924 side 6924 shall set 5265 out.
6 "When you blow 8628 an alarm 8643 the second 8145 time 8145, the camps 4264 that are pitched 2583 on the south 8486 side 8486 shall set 5265 out; an alarm 8643 is to be blown 8628 for them to set 4550 out.
7 "When convening 6950 the assembly 6951, however, you shall blow 8628 without 3808 sounding 7321 an alarm 7321.
8 "The priestly 3548 sons 1121 of Aaron 175, moreover, shall blow 8628 the trumpets 2689; and this shall be for you a perpetual 5769 statute 2708 throughout your generations 1755.
9 "When 3588 you go 935 to war 4421 in your land 776 against 5921 the adversary 6862 who attacks 6887 you, then you shall sound 7321 an alarm 7321 with the trumpets 2689, that you may be remembered 2142 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and be saved 3467 from your enemies 340.
10 "Also in the day 3117 of your gladness 8057 and in your appointed 4150 feasts 4150, and on the first 7218 {days} of your months 2320, you shall blow 8628 the trumpets 2689 over 5921 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930, and over 5921 the sacrifices 2077 of your peace 8002 offerings 8002; and they shall be as a reminder 2146 of you before 6440 your God 430. I am the LORD 3068 your God 430."

The Tribes Leave Sinai

¶ Now in the second 8145 year 8141, in the second 8145 month 2320, on the twentieth 6242 of the month 2320, the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927 from over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715;
12 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 set 5265 out on their journeys 4550 from the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514. Then the cloud 6051 settled 7931 down 7931 in the wilderness 4057 of Paran 6290.
13 So they moved 5265 out for the first 7223 time 7223 according 5921 to the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Moses 4872.
14 The standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063, according to their armies 6635, set 5265 out first 7223, with Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab 5992, over 5921 its army 6635,
15 and Nethanel 5417 the son 1121 of Zuar 6686, over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Issachar 3485;
16 and Eliab 446 the son 1121 of Helon 2497 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Zebulun 2074.
17 ¶ Then the tabernacle 4908 was taken 3381 down 3381; and the sons 1121 of Gershon 1648 and the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, who were carrying 5375 the tabernacle 4908, set 5265 out.
18 Next the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of Reuben 7205, according 5921 to their armies 6635, set 5265 out with Elizur 468 the son 1121 of Shedeur 7707, over 5921 its army 6635,
19 and Shelumiel 8017 the son 1121 of Zurishaddai 6701 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Simeon 8095,
20 and Eliasaph 460 the son 1121 of Deuel 1845 was over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Gad 1410.
21 ¶ Then the Kohathites 6956 set 5265 out, carrying 5375 the holy 4720 {objects;} and the tabernacle 4908 was set 6965 up before 5704 their arrival 935.
22 Next the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669, according to their armies 6635, was set 5265 out, with Elishama 476 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989 over 5921 its army 6635,
23 and Gamaliel 1583 the son 1121 of Pedahzur 6301 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519;
24 and Abidan 27 the son 1121 of Gideoni 1441 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Benjamin 1144.
25 ¶ Then the standard 1714 of the camp 4264 of the sons 1121 of Dan 1835, according to their armies 6635, {which formed} the rear 622 guard 622 for all 3605 the camps 4264, set 5265 out, with Ahiezer 295 the son 1121 of Ammishaddai 5996 over 5921 its army 6635,
26 and Pagiel 6295 the son 1121 of Ochran 5918 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Asher 836;
27 and Ahira 299 the son 1121 of Enan 5881 over 5921 the tribal 4294 army 6635 of the sons 1121 of Naphtali 5321.
28 This 428 was the order 4550 of march 4550 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 by their armies 6635 as they set 5265 out.
29 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to Hobab 2246 the son 1121 of Reuel 7467 the Midianite 4084, Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860, "We are setting 5265 out to the place 4725 of which 834 the LORD 3068 said 559, 'I will give 5414 it to you'; come 1980 with us and we will do 3190 you good 3190, for the LORD 3068 has promised 1696 good 2896 concerning 5921 Israel 3478."
30 But he said 559 to him, "I will not come 1980, but rather will go 1980 to my {own} land 776 and relatives 4138."
31 Then he said 559, "Please 4994 do not leave 5800 us, inasmuch as you know 3045 where we should camp 2583 in the wilderness 4057, and you will be as eyes 5869 for us.
32 "So it will be, if 3588 you go 1980 with us, that whatever 834 good 2896 the LORD 3068 does 3190 for us, we will do 3190 for you."
33 ¶ Thus they set 5265 out from the mount 2022 of the LORD 3068 three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870, with the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 journeying 5265 in front 6440 of them for the three 7969 days 3117, to seek 8446 out a resting 4496 place 4496 for them.
34 The cloud 6051 of the LORD 3068 was over 5921 them by day 3119 when they set 5265 out from the camp 4264.
35 ¶ Then it came 1961 about when the ark 727 set 5265 out that Moses 4872 said 559, "Rise 6965 up, O LORD 3068! And let Your enemies 340 be scattered 6327, And let those who hate 8130 You flee 5127 before You."
36 When it came 5117 to rest 5117, he said 559, "Return 7725, O LORD 3068, {To} the myriad 7233 thousands 505 of Israel 3478."

Chapter 11

The People Complain

Now the people 5971 became 1961 like those who complain 596 of adversity 7451 in the hearing 241 of the LORD 3068; and when the LORD 3068 heard 8085 {it,} His anger 639 was kindled 2734, and the fire 784 of the LORD 3068 burned 1197 among them and consumed 398 {some} of the outskirts 7097 of the camp 4264.
2 The people 5971 therefore cried 6817 out to Moses 4872, and Moses 4872 prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068 and the fire 784 died 8257 out.
3 So the name 8034 of that place 4725 was called 7121 Taberah 8404, because 3588 the fire 784 of the LORD 3068 burned 1197 among them.
4 ¶ The rabble 628 who 834 were among 7130 them had 183 greedy 8378 desires; and also 1571 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 wept 1058 again 7725 and said 559, "Who 4310 will give us meat 1320 to eat 398?
5 "We remember 2142 the fish 1710 which 834 we used to eat 398 free 2600 in Egypt 4714, the cucumbers 7180 and the melons 20 and the leeks 2682 and the onions 1211 and the garlic 7762,
6 but now 6258 our appetite 5315 is gone 3002. There 369 is nothing 369 at all 3605 to look 5869 at except 1115 this manna 4478."
7 ¶ Now the manna 4478 was like coriander 1407 seed 2233, and its appearance 5869 like that of bdellium 916.
8 The people 5971 would go 7751 about 7751 and gather 3950 {it} and grind 2912 {it} between two millstones 7347 or 176 beat 1743 {it} in the mortar 4085, and boil 1310 {it} in the pot 6517 and make 6213 cakes 5692 with it; and its taste 2940 was as the taste 2940 of cakes 3955 baked 3955 with oil 8081.
9 When the dew 2919 fell 3381 on the camp 4264 at night 3915, the manna 4478 would fall 3381 with it.
10

The Complaint of Moses

¶ Now Moses 4872 heard 8085 the people 5971 weeping 1058 throughout their families 4940, each 376 man 376 at the doorway 6607 of his tent 168; and the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 greatly 3966, and Moses 4872 was displeased.
11 So Moses 4872 said 559 to the LORD 3068, "Why 4100 have You been so hard 7489 on Your servant 5650? And why 4100 have I not found 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869, that You have laid 7760 the burden 4853 of all 3605 this 2088 people 5971 on me?
12 "Was it I who conceived 2029 all 3605 this 2088 people 5971? Was it I who brought 3205 them forth 3205, that You should say 559 to me, 'Carry 5375 them in your bosom 2436 as a nurse 539 carries 5375 a nursing 3243 infant 3243, to the land 127 which 834 You swore 7650 to their fathers 1'?
13 "Where am I to get meat 1320 to give 5414 to all 3605 this 2088 people 5971? For they weep 1058 before 5921 me, saying 559, 'Give 5414 us meat 1320 that we may eat 398!'
14 "I alone 905 am not able 3201 to carry 5375 all 3605 this 2088 people 5971, because 3588 it is too 4480 burdensome 3515 for me.
15 "So if 518 You are going to deal 6213 thus 3602 with me, please 4994 kill 2026 me at once 2026, if 518 I have found 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869, and do not let me see 7200 my wretchedness 7463."
16

Seventy Elders to Assist

¶ The LORD 3068 therefore said 559 to Moses 4872, "Gather 622 for Me seventy 7657 men 376 from the elders 2205 of Israel 3478, whom 834 you know 3045 to be the elders 2205 of the people 5971 and their officers 7860 and bring 3947 them to the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and let them take 3320 their stand 3320 there 8033 with you.
17 "Then I will come 3381 down 3381 and speak 1696 with you there 8033, and I will take 680 of the Spirit 7307 who 834 is upon you, and will put 7760 {Him} upon them; and they shall bear 5375 the burden 4853 of the people 5971 with you, so that you will not bear 5375 {it} all alone 905.
18 "Say 559 to the people 5971, 'Consecrate 6942 yourselves for tomorrow 4279, and you shall eat 398 meat 1320; for you have wept 1058 in the ears 241 of the LORD 3068, saying 559, "Oh 4310 that someone 4310 would give us meat 1320 to eat 398! For we were well-off 2895 in Egypt 4714." Therefore the LORD 3068 will give 5414 you meat 1320 and you shall eat 398.
19 'You shall eat 398, not one 259 day 3117, nor 3808 two days 3117, nor 3808 five 2568 days 3117, nor 3808 ten 6235 days 3117, nor 3808 twenty 6242 days 3117,
20 but a whole 3117 month 2320, until it comes 3318 out of your nostrils 639 and becomes 1961 loathsome 2214 to you; because you have rejected 3988 the LORD 3068 who 834 is among 7130 you and have wept 1058 before 6440 Him, saying 559, "Why 4100 did we ever 2088 leave Egypt 4714?"'"
21 But Moses 4872 said 559, "The people 5971, among 7130 whom 834 I am, are 600,000 on foot 7273; yet You have said 559, 'I will give 5414 them meat 1320, so that they may eat 398 for a whole 3117 month 2320.'
22 "Should flocks 6629 and herds 1241 be slaughtered 7819 for them, to be sufficient 4672 for them? Or 518 should all 3605 the fish 1709 of the sea 3220 be gathered 622 together for them, to be sufficient 4672 for them?"
23 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Is the LORD'S 3068 power 3027 limited 7114? Now 6258 you shall see 7200 whether My word 1697 will come 7136 true 7136 for you or 518 not."
24 ¶ So Moses 4872 went 3318 out and told 1696 the people 5971 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068. Also, he gathered 622 seventy 7657 men 376 of the elders 2205 of the people 5971, and stationed 5975 them around 5439 the tent 168.
25 Then the LORD 3068 came 3381 down 3381 in the cloud 6051 and spoke 1696 to him; and He took 680 of the Spirit 7307 who 834 was upon him and placed 5414 {Him} upon the seventy 7657 elders 2205. And when the Spirit 7307 rested 5117 upon them, they prophesied 5012. But they did not do 3254 {it} again 3254.
26 ¶ But two 8147 men 376 had remained 7604 in the camp 4264; the name 8034 of one 259 was Eldad 419 and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Medad 4312. And the Spirit 7307 rested 5117 upon them (now they were among those who had been registered 3789, but had not gone 3318 out to the tent 168), and they prophesied 5012 in the camp 4264.
27 So a young 5288 man 5288 ran 7323 and told 5046 Moses 4872 and said 559, "Eldad 419 and Medad 4312 are prophesying 5012 in the camp 4264."
28 Then Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, the attendant 8334 of Moses 4872 from his youth 979, said 559, "Moses 4872, my lord 113, restrain 3607 them."
29 But Moses 4872 said 559 to him, "Are you jealous 7065 for my sake? Would that all 3605 the LORD'S 3068 people 5971 were prophets 5030, that the LORD 3068 would put 5414 His Spirit 7307 upon them!"
30 Then Moses 4872 returned 622 to the camp 4264, {both} he and the elders 2205 of Israel 3478.

Now there went 5265 forth 5265 a wind 7307 from the LORD 3068 and it brought 1468 quail 7958 from the sea 3220, and let {them} fall 5203 beside 5921 the camp 4264, about a day's 3117 journey 1870 on this 3541 side 3541 and a day's 3117 journey 1870 on the other 3541 side 3541, all 5439 around 5439 the camp 4264 and about two cubits 520 {deep} on the surface 6440 of the ground 776.
32 The people 5971 spent 6965 all 3605 day 3117 and all 3605 night 3915 and all 3605 the next 4283 day 3117, and gathered 622 the quail 7958 (he who gathered least 4591 gathered 622 ten 6235 homers 2563) and they spread 7849 {them} out for themselves all 5439 around 5439 the camp 4264.
33 While the meat 1320 was still 5750 between 996 their teeth 8127, before 2962 it was chewed 3772, the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against the people 5971, and the LORD 3068 struck 5221 the people 5971 with a very 3966 severe 7227 plague 4347.
34 So the name 8034 of that place 4725 was called 7121 Kibroth-hattaavah 6914, because 3588 there 8033 they buried 6912 the people 5971 who had been 183 greedy 183.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah 6914 the people 5971 set 5265 out for Hazeroth 2698, and they remained 1961 at Hazeroth 2698.

The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron

Then Miriam 4813 and Aaron 175 spoke 1696 against Moses 4872 because of the Cushite 3571 woman 802 whom 834 he had married 3947 (for he had married 3947 a Cushite 3571 woman 802);
2 and they said 559, "Has the LORD 3068 indeed 389 spoken 1696 only through Moses 4872? Has He not spoken 1696 through us as well 1571?" And the LORD 3068 heard 8085 it.
3 (Now the man 376 Moses 4872 was very 3966 humble 6035, more 4480 than 4480 any 3605 man 120 who 834 was on the face 6440 of the earth 127.)
4 Suddenly 6597 the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and to Miriam 4813, "You three 7969 come 3318 out to the tent 168 of meeting 4150." So the three 7969 of them came 3318 out.
5 Then the LORD 3068 came 3381 down 3381 in a pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 and stood 5975 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168, and He called 7121 Aaron 175 and Miriam 4813. When they had both 8147 come 3318 forward 3318,
6 He said 559, "Hear 8085 now 4994 My words 1697: If 518 there is a prophet 5030 among you, I, the LORD 3068, shall make 3045 Myself known 3045 to him in a vision 4759. I shall speak 1696 with him in a dream 2472.
7 "Not so 3651, with My servant 5650 Moses 4872, He is faithful 539 in all 3605 My household 1004;
8 With him I speak 1696 mouth 6310 to mouth 6310, Even openly 4758, and not in dark 2420 sayings 2420, And he beholds 5027 the form 8544 of the LORD 3068. Why 4069 then were you not afraid 3372 To speak 1696 against My servant 5650, against Moses 4872?"
9 ¶ So the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 burned 2734 against them and He departed 1980.
10 But when the cloud 6051 had withdrawn 5493 from over 5921 the tent 168, behold 2009, Miriam 4813 {was} leprous 6879, as {white as} snow 7950. As Aaron 175 turned 6437 toward 413 Miriam 4813, behold 2009, she {was} leprous 6879.
11 Then Aaron 175 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Oh 994, my lord 113, I beg 994 you, do not account 7896 {this} sin 2403 to us, in which 834 we have acted 2973 foolishly 2973 and in which 834 we have sinned 2398.
12 "Oh 4994, do not let her be like one dead 4191, whose 834 flesh 1320 is half 2677 eaten 398 away when he comes 3318 from his mother's 517 womb 7358!"
13 Moses 4872 cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068, saying 559, "O God 410, heal 7495 her, I pray 4994!"
14 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "If her father 1 had but spit 3417 in her face 6440, would she not bear 3637 her shame 3637 for seven 7651 days 3117? Let her be shut 5462 up for seven 7651 days 3117 outside the camp 4264, and afterward 310 she may be received 622 again."
15 So Miriam 4813 was shut 5462 up outside the camp 4264 for seven 7651 days 3117, and the people 5971 did not move 5265 on until 5704 Miriam 4813 was received 622 again.
16 ¶ Afterward 310, however, the people 5971 moved 5265 out from Hazeroth 2698 and camped 2583 in the wilderness 4057 of Paran 6290.

Spies View the Land

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 saying 559,
2 "Send 7971 out for yourself men 376 so that they may spy 8446 out the land 776 of Canaan 3667, which 834 I am going to give 5414 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; you shall send 7971 a man 376 from each of their fathers' 1 tribes 4294, every 3605 one 3605 a leader 5387 among them."
3 So Moses 4872 sent 7971 them from the wilderness 4057 of Paran 6290 at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, all 3605 of them men 376 who were heads 7218 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
4 These 428 then {were} their names 8034: from the tribe 4294 of Reuben 7205, Shammua 8051 the son 1121 of Zaccur 2139;
5 from the tribe 4294 of Simeon 8095, Shaphat 8202 the son 1121 of Hori 2752;
6 from the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063, Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312;
7 from the tribe 4294 of Issachar 3485, Igal 3008 the son 1121 of Joseph 3130;
8 from the tribe 4294 of Ephraim 669, Hoshea 1954 the son 1121 of Nun 5126;
9 from the tribe 4294 of Benjamin 1144, Palti 6406 the son 1121 of Raphu 7505;
10 from the tribe 4294 of Zebulun 2074, Gaddiel 1427 the son 1121 of Sodi 5476;
11 from the tribe 4294 of Joseph 3130, from the tribe 4294 of Manasseh 4519, Gaddi 3426 the son 1121 of Susi 5485;
12 from the tribe 4294 of Dan 1835, Ammiel 5988 the son 1121 of Gemalli 1582;
13 from the tribe 4294 of Asher 836, Sethur 5639 the son 1121 of Michael 4317;
14 from the tribe 4294 of Naphtali 5321, Nahbi 5147 the son 1121 of Vophsi 2058;
15 from the tribe 4294 of Gad 1410, Geuel 1345 the son 1121 of Machi 4352.
16 These 428 are the names 8034 of the men 376 whom 834 Moses 4872 sent 7971 to spy 8446 out the land 776; but Moses 4872 called 7121 Hoshea 1954 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, Joshua 3091.
17 ¶ When Moses 4872 sent 7971 them to spy 8446 out the land 776 of Canaan 3667, he said 559 to them, "Go 5927 up there 2088 into the Negev 5045; then go 5927 up into the hill 2022 country 2022.
18 "See 7200 what 4100 the land 776 is like, and whether the people 5971 who live 3427 in it are strong 2389 {or} weak 7504, whether they are few 4592 or 518 many 7227.
19 "How 4100 is the land 776 in which 834 they live 3427, is it good 2896 or 518 bad 7451? And how 4100 are the cities 5892 in which they live 3427, are {they} like {open} camps 4264 or 518 with fortifications 4013?
20 "How 4100 is the land 776, is it fat 8082 or 518 lean 7330? Are there 3426 trees 6086 in it or 518 not? Make 2388 an effort 2388 then to get 3947 some 4480 of the fruit 6529 of the land 776." Now the time 3117 was the time 3117 of the first 1061 ripe 1061 grapes 6025.
21 ¶ So they went 5927 up and spied 8446 out the land 776 from the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790 as far 5704 as Rehob 7340, at Lebo-hamath 935.
22 When they had gone 5927 up into the Negev 5045, they came 935 to Hebron 2275 where 8033 Ahiman 289, Sheshai 8344 and Talmai 8526, the descendants 3211 of Anak 6061 were. (Now Hebron 2275 was built 1129 seven 7651 years 8141 before 6440 Zoan 6814 in Egypt 4714.)
23 ¶ Then they came 935 to the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812 and from there 8033 cut 3772 down 3772 a branch 2156 with a single 259 cluster 811 of grapes 6025; and they carried 5375 it on a pole 4132 between two 8147 {men,} with some 4480 of the pomegranates 7416 and the figs 8384.
24 That place 4725 was called 7121 the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812, because of the cluster 811 which 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 cut 3772 down 3772 from there 8033.
25

The Spies' Reports

¶ When they returned 7725 from spying 8446 out the land 776, at the end 7093 of forty 705 days 3117,
26 they proceeded 1980 to come 935 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in the wilderness 4057 of Paran 6290, at Kadesh 6946; and they brought 7725 back 7725 word 1697 to them and to all 3605 the congregation 5712 and showed 7200 them the fruit 6529 of the land 776.
27 Thus they told 5608 him, and said 559, "We went 935 in to the land 776 where 834 you sent 7971 us; and it certainly 1571 does flow 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, and this 2088 is its fruit 6529.
28 "Nevertheless, the people 5971 who live 3427 in the land 776 are strong 5794, and the cities 5892 are fortified 1219 {and} very 3966 large 1419; and moreover 1571, we saw 7200 the descendants 3211 of Anak 6061 there 8033.
29 "Amalek 6002 is living 3427 in the land 776 of the Negev 5045 and the Hittites 2850 and the Jebusites 2983 and the Amorites 567 are living 3427 in the hill 2022 country 2022, and the Canaanites 3669 are living 3427 by the sea 3220 and by the side 3027 of the Jordan 3383."
30 ¶ Then Caleb 3612 quieted 2013 the people 5971 before 413 Moses 4872 and said 559, "We should by all 5927 means 5927 go 5927 up and take 3423 possession 3423 of it, for we will surely 3201 overcome 3201 it."
31 But the men 376 who 834 had gone 5927 up with him said 559, "We are not able 3201 to go 5927 up against 413 the people 5971, for they are too 4480 strong 2389 for us."
32 So they gave 3318 out to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 a bad 1681 report 1681 of the land 776 which 834 they had spied 8446 out, saying 559, "The land 776 through 5674 which 834 we have gone 5674, in spying 8446 it out, is a land 776 that devours 398 its inhabitants 3427; and all 3605 the people 5971 whom 834 we saw 7200 in it are men 376 of {great} size 4060.
33 "There 8033 also we saw 7200 the Nephilim 5303 (the sons 1121 of Anak 6061 are part of the Nephilim 5303); and we became 1961 like grasshoppers 2284 in our own sight 5869, and so 3651 we were in their sight 5869."

The People Rebel

Then all 3605 the congregation 5712 lifted 5375 up their voices 6963 and cried 5414, and the people 5971 wept 1058 that night 3915.
2 All 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 grumbled 3885 against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175; and the whole 3605 congregation 5712 said 559 to them, "Would 3863 that we had died 4191 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714! Or 176 would 3863 that we had died 4191 in this 2088 wilderness 4057!
3 "Why 4100 is the LORD 3068 bringing 935 us into this 2088 land 776, to fall 5307 by the sword 2719? Our wives 802 and our little 2945 ones 2945 will become 1961 plunder 957; would it not be better 2896 for us to return 7725 to Egypt 4714?"
4 So they said 559 to one 376 another 251, "Let us appoint 5414 a leader 7218 and return 7725 to Egypt 4714."
5 ¶ Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 fell 5307 on their faces 6440 in the presence 6440 of all 3605 the assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
6 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312, of those who had spied 8446 out the land 776, tore 7167 their clothes 899;
7 and they spoke 559 to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, "The land 776 which 834 we passed 5674 through 5674 to spy 8446 out is an exceedingly 3966 good 2896 land 776.
8 "If 518 the LORD 3068 is pleased 2654 with us, then He will bring 935 us into this 2088 land 776 and give 5414 it to us--a land 776 which 834 flows 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.
9 "Only 389 do not rebel 4775 against the LORD 3068; and do not fear 3372 the people 5971 of the land 776, for they will be our prey 3899. Their protection 6738 has been removed 5493 from them, and the LORD 3068 is with us; do not fear 3372 them."
10 But all 3605 the congregation 5712 said 559 to stone 7275 them with stones 68. Then the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
11

Moses Pleads for the People

The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "How 575 long 5704 will this 2088 people 5971 spurn 5006 Me? And how 575 long 5704 will they not believe 539 in Me, despite all 3605 the signs 226 which 834 I have performed 6213 in their midst 7130?
12 "I will smite 5221 them with pestilence 1698 and dispossess 3423 them, and I will make 6213 you into a nation 1471 greater 1419 and mightier 6099 than 4480 they."
13 ¶ But Moses 4872 said 559 to the LORD 3068, "Then the Egyptians 4714 will hear 8085 of it, for by Your strength 3581 You brought 5927 up this 2088 people 5971 from their midst 7130,
14 and they will tell 559 {it} to the inhabitants 3427 of this 2088 land 776. They have heard 8085 that You, O LORD 3068, are in the midst 7130 of this 2088 people 5971, for You, O LORD 3068, are seen 7200 eye 5869 to eye 5869, while Your cloud 6051 stands 5975 over 5921 them; and You go 1980 before 6440 them in a pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 by day 3119 and in a pillar 5982 of fire 784 by night 3915.
15 "Now if You slay 5221 this 2088 people 5971 as one 259 man 376, then the nations 1471 who 834 have heard 8085 of Your fame 8088 will say 559,
16 'Because 4480 the LORD 3068 could 3201 not bring 935 this 2088 people 5971 into the land 776 which 834 He promised 7650 them by oath 7650, therefore He slaughtered 7819 them in the wilderness 4057.'
17 "But now 6258, I pray 4994, let the power 3581 of the Lord 136 be great 1431, just 3512 as You have declared,
18 'The LORD 3068 is slow 750 to anger 639 and abundant 7227 in lovingkindness 2617, forgiving 5375 iniquity 5771 and transgression 6588; but He will by no 3808 means 5352 clear 5352 {the guilty,} visiting 6485 the iniquity 5771 of the fathers 1 on the children 1121 to the third 8029 and the fourth 7256 {generations.}'
19 "Pardon 5545, I pray 4994, the iniquity 5771 of this 2088 people 5971 according to the greatness 1433 of Your lovingkindness 2617, just 3512 as You also have forgiven 5375 this 2088 people 5971, from Egypt 4714 even until 5704 now 2008."
20

The L\{ORD}/ Pardons and Rebukes

¶ So the LORD 3068 said 559, "I have pardoned 5545 {them} according to your word 1697;
21 but indeed 199, as I live 2416, all 3605 the earth 776 will be filled 4390 with the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068.
22 "Surely 3588 all 3605 the men 376 who have seen 7200 My glory 3519 and My signs 226 which 834 I performed 6213 in Egypt 4714 and in the wilderness 4057, yet have put 5254 Me to the test 5254 these 2088 ten 6235 times 6471 and have not listened 8085 to My voice 6963,
23 shall by no 518 means 518 see 7200 the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to their fathers 1, nor 3808 shall any 3605 of those who spurned 5006 Me see 7200 it.
24 "But My servant 5650 Caleb 3612, because 6118 he has 5973 had 1961 a different 312 spirit 7307 and has followed 310 Me fully 4390, I will bring 935 into the land 776 which 834 he entered 935, and his descendants 2233 shall take 3423 possession 3423 of it.
25 "Now the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 live 3427 in the valleys 6010; turn 6437 tomorrow 4279 and set 5265 out to the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 of the Red Sea 3220."
26 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, saying 559,
27 "How 4970 long {shall I bear} with this 2088 evil 7451 congregation 5712 who 834 are grumbling 3885 against 5921 Me? I have heard 8085 the complaints 8519 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, which 834 they are making 3885 against 5921 Me.
28 "Say 559 to them, 'As I live 2416,' says 5002 the LORD 3068, 'just 3512 as you have spoken 1696 in My hearing 241, so 3651 I will surely do 6213 to you;
29 your corpses 6297 will fall 5307 in this 2088 wilderness 4057, even all 3605 your numbered 6485 men, according to your complete 3605 number 4557 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, who 834 have grumbled 3885 against 5921 Me.
30 'Surely 518 you shall not come 935 into the land 776 in which 834 I swore to settle 7931 you, except Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.
31 'Your children 2945, however, whom 834 you said 559 would become 1961 a prey 957--I will bring 935 them in, and they will know 3045 the land 776 which 834 you have rejected 3988.
32 'But as for you, your corpses 6297 will fall 5307 in this 2088 wilderness 4057.
33 'Your sons 1121 shall be shepherds 7462 for forty 705 years 8141 in the wilderness 4057, and they will suffer 5375 {for} your unfaithfulness 2184, until 5704 your corpses 6297 lie 8552 in the wilderness 4057.
34 'According to the number 4557 of days 3117 which 834 you spied 8446 out the land 776, forty 705 days 3117, for every 3117 day 3117 you shall bear 5375 your guilt 5771 a year 8141, {even} forty 705 years 8141, and you will know 3045 My opposition 8569.
35 'I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696, surely this 2088 I will do 6213 to all 3605 this 2088 evil 7451 congregation 5712 who are gathered 3259 together against 5921 Me. In this 2088 wilderness 4057 they shall be destroyed 8552, and there 8033 they will die 4191.'"
36 ¶ As for the men 376 whom 834 Moses 4872 sent 7971 to spy 8446 out the land 776 and who returned 7725 and made all 3605 the congregation 5712 grumble 3885 against 5921 him by bringing 3318 out a bad 1681 report 1681 concerning 5921 the land 776,
37 even those men 376 who brought 3318 out the very bad report 1681 of the land 776 died 4191 by a plague 4046 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
38 But Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 remained 2421 alive 2421 out of those 1992 men 376 who went 1980 to spy 8446 out the land 776.

Israel Repulsed

¶ When Moses 4872 spoke 1696 these 428 words 1697 to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, the people 5971 mourned 56 greatly 3966.
40 In the morning 1242, however, they rose 7925 up early 7925 and went 5927 up to the ridge 7218 of the hill 2022 country 2022, saying 559, "Here 2009 we are; we have indeed 3588 sinned 2398, but we will go 5927 up to the place 4725 which 834 the LORD 3068 has promised 559."
41 But Moses 4872 said 559, "Why 4100 then 2088 are you transgressing 5674 the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068, when it will not succeed 6743?
42 "Do not go 5927 up, or 3808 you will be struck 5062 down 5062 before 6440 your enemies 340, for the LORD 3068 is not among 7130 you.
43 "For the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 will be there 8033 in front 6440 of you, and you will fall 5307 by the sword 2719, inasmuch as you have turned 7725 back 7725 from following 310 the LORD 3068. And the LORD 3068 will not be with you."
44 But they went 5927 up heedlessly 6075 to the ridge 7218 of the hill 2022 country 2022; neither 3808 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 nor 3808 Moses 4872 left 4185 the camp 4264.
45 Then the Amalekites 6003 and the Canaanites 3669 who lived 3427 in that hill 2022 country 2022 came 3381 down 3381, and struck 5221 them and beat 3807 them down 3807 as far 5704 as Hormah 2767.

Laws for Canaan

Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 you enter 935 the land 776 where 4186 you are to live 4186, which 834 I am giving 5414 you,
3 then make 6213 an offering 801 by fire 801 to the LORD 3068, a burnt 5930 offering 5930 or 176 a sacrifice 2077 to fulfill 6381 a special 6381 vow 5088, or 176 as a freewill 5071 offering 5071 or 176 in your appointed 4150 times 4150, to make 6213 a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068, from the herd 1241 or 176 from the flock 6629.
4 'The one who presents 7126 his offering 7133 shall present 7126 to the LORD 3068 a grain offering 4503 of one-tenth {of an ephah} of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with one-fourth of a hin 1969 of oil 8081,
5 and you shall prepare 6213 wine 3196 for the drink 5262 offering 5262, one-fourth of a hin 1969, with the burnt 5930 offering 5930 or 176 for the sacrifice 2077, for each 259 lamb 3532.
6 'Or 176 for a ram 352 you shall prepare 6213 as a grain offering 4503 two-tenths {of an ephah} of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with one-third of a hin 1969 of oil 8081;
7 and for the drink 5262 offering 5262 you shall offer 7126 one-third of a hin 1969 of wine 3196 as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068.
8 'When 3588 you prepare 6213 a bull as a burnt 5930 offering 5930 or 176 a sacrifice 2077, to fulfill 6381 a special 6381 vow 5088, or 176 for peace 8002 offerings 8002 to the LORD 3068,
9 then you shall offer 7126 with the bull a grain offering 4503 of three-tenths {of an ephah} of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with one-half a hin 1969 of oil 8081;
10 and you shall offer 7126 as the drink 5262 offering 5262 one-half a hin 1969 of wine 3196 as an offering 801 by fire 801, as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068.
11 ¶ 'Thus 3602 it shall be done 6213 for each 259 ox 7794, or 176 for each 259 ram 352, or 176 for each of the male 3532 lambs 7716, or 176 of the goats 5795.
12 'According to the number 4557 that you prepare 6213, so 3602 you shall do 6213 for everyone 259 according to their number 4557.
13 'All 3605 who are native 249 shall do 6213 these 428 things 428 in this 3602 manner 3602, in presenting 7126 an offering 801 by fire 801, as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068.
14

Law of the Sojourner

'If 3588 an alien 1616 sojourns 1481 with you, or 176 one who 834 may be among 8432 you throughout your generations 1755, and he {wishes to} make 6213 an offering 801 by fire 801, as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068, just 3512 as you do 6213 so 3651 he shall do 6213.
15 '{As for} the assembly 6951, there shall be one 259 statute 2708 for you and for the alien 1616 who sojourns 1481 {with you,} a perpetual 5769 statute 2708 throughout your generations 1755; as you are, so shall the alien 1616 be before 6440 the LORD 3068.
16 'There is to be one 259 law 8451 and one 259 ordinance 4941 for you and for the alien 1616 who sojourns 1481 with you.'"
17 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
18 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When you enter 935 the land 776 where I bring 935 you,
19 then it shall be, that when you eat 398 of the food 3899 of the land 776, you shall lift 7311 up an offering 8641 to the LORD 3068.
20 'Of the first 7225 of your dough 6182 you shall lift 7311 up a cake 2471 as an offering 8641; as the offering 8641 of the threshing 1637 floor 1637, so 3651 you shall lift 7311 it up.
21 'From the first 7225 of your dough 6182 you shall give 5414 to the LORD 3068 an offering 8641 throughout your generations 1755.
22 ¶ 'But when 3588 you unwittingly 7686 fail 7368 and do not observe 6213 all 3605 these 428 commandments 4687, which 834 the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 to Moses 4872,
23 {even} all 3605 that the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 you through 3027 Moses 4872, from the day 3117 when 834 the LORD 3068 gave 6680 commandment 6680 and onward 1973 throughout your generations 1755,
24 then it shall be, if 518 it is done 6213 unintentionally 7684, without 4480 the knowledge 5869 of the congregation 5712, that all 3605 the congregation 5712 shall offer 6213 one 259 bull for a burnt 5930 offering 5930, as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068, with its grain offering 4503 and its drink 5262 offering 5262, according to the ordinance 4941, and one 259 male 8163 goat 5795 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
25 'Then the priest 3548 shall make 3722 atonement 3722 for all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and they will be forgiven 5545; for it was an error 7684, and they have brought 935 their offering 7133, an offering 801 by fire 801 to the LORD 3068, and their sin 2403 offering 2403 before 6440 the LORD 3068, for their error 7684.
26 'So all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 will be forgiven 5545, with the alien 1616 who sojourns 1481 among 8432 them, for {it happened} to all 3605 the people 5971 through error 7684.
27 ¶ 'Also if 518 one 259 person 5315 sins 2398 unintentionally 7684, then he shall offer 7126 a one year 8141 old 1323 female 5795 goat 5795 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
28 'The priest 3548 shall make 3722 atonement 3722 before 6440 the LORD 3068 for the person 5315 who goes 7683 astray 7683 when he sins 2398 unintentionally 7684, making 3722 atonement 3722 for him that he may be forgiven 5545.
29 'You shall have 1961 one 259 law 8451 for him who does 6213 {anything} unintentionally 7684, for him who is native 249 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and for the alien 1616 who sojourns 1481 among 8432 them.
30 'But the person 5315 who 834 does 6213 {anything} defiantly, whether 4480 he is native 249 or an alien 1616, that one 1931 is blaspheming 1442 the LORD 3068; and that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from among 7130 his people 5971.
31 'Because 3588 he has despised 959 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 and has broken 6565 His commandment 4687, that person 5315 shall be completely 3772 cut 3772 off 3772; his guilt 5771 {will be} on him.'"
32

Sabbath-breaking Punished

¶ Now while the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 were in the wilderness 4057, they found 4672 a man 376 gathering 7197 wood 6086 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117.
33 Those who found 4672 him gathering 7197 wood 6086 brought 7126 him to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and to all 3605 the congregation 5712;
34 and they put 5117 him in custody 4929 because 3588 it had not been declared 6567 what 4100 should be done 6213 to him.
35 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "The man 376 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191; all 3605 the congregation 5712 shall stone 7275 him with stones 68 outside the camp 4264."
36 So all 3605 the congregation 5712 brought 3318 him outside the camp 4264 and stoned 7275 him to death 4191 with stones 68, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
37 ¶ The LORD 3068 also spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
38 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and tell 559 them that they shall make 6213 for themselves tassels 6734 on the corners 3671 of their garments 899 throughout their generations 1755, and that they shall put 5414 on the tassel 6734 of each corner 3671 a cord 6616 of blue 8504.
39 "It shall be a tassel 6734 for you to look 7200 at and remember 2142 all 3605 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068, so as to do 6213 them and not follow 8446 after 310 your own heart 3824 and your own eyes 5869, after 310 which 834 you played 2181 the harlot 2181,
40 so 4616 that you may remember 2142 to do 6213 all 3605 My commandments 4687 and be holy 6918 to your God 430.
41 "I am the LORD 3068 your God 430 who 834 brought 3318 you out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to be your God 430; I am the LORD 3068 your God 430."

Korah's Rebellion

Now Korah 7141 the son 1121 of Izhar 3324, the son 1121 of Kohath 6955, the son 1121 of Levi 3878, with Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48, the sons 1121 of Eliab 446, and On 203 the son 1121 of Peleth 6431, sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, took 3947 {action,}
2 and they rose 6965 up before 6440 Moses 4872, together with some 376 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, two hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712, chosen 7148 in the assembly 4150, men 376 of renown 8034.
3 They assembled 6950 together against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, and said 559 to them, "You have gone far 7227 enough 7227, for all 3605 the congregation 5712 are holy 6918, every 3605 one 3605 of them, and the LORD 3068 is in their midst 8432; so why 4069 do you exalt 5375 yourselves above 5921 the assembly 6951 of the LORD 3068?"
4 ¶ When Moses 4872 heard 8085 {this,} he fell 5307 on his face 6440;
5 and he spoke 1696 to Korah 7141 and all 3605 his company 5712, saying 559, "Tomorrow 1242 morning 1242 the LORD 3068 will show 3045 who 834 is His, and who is holy 6918, and will bring 7126 {him} near 7126 to Himself; even the one whom 834 He will choose 977, He will bring 7126 near 7126 to Himself.
6 "Do 6213 this 2088: take 3947 censers 4289 for yourselves, Korah 7141 and all 3605 your company 5712,
7 and put 5414 fire 784 in them, and lay 7760 incense 7004 upon them in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 tomorrow 4279; and the man 376 whom 834 the LORD 3068 chooses 977 {shall be} the one 6918 who 1931 is holy 6918. You have gone far 7227 enough 7227, you sons 1121 of Levi 3878!"
8 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to Korah 7141, "Hear 8085 now 4994, you sons 1121 of Levi 3878,
9 is it not enough 4592 for you that the God 430 of Israel 3478 has separated 914 you from the {rest of} the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, to bring 7126 you near 7126 to Himself, to do 5647 the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068, and to stand 5975 before 6440 the congregation 5712 to minister 8334 to them;
10 and that He has brought 7126 you near 7126, {Korah,} and all 3605 your brothers 251, sons 1121 of Levi 3878, with you? And are you seeking 1245 for the priesthood 3550 also 1571?
11 "Therefore 3651 you and all 3605 your company 5712 are gathered 3259 together against 5921 the LORD 3068; but as for Aaron 175, who 4100 is he that you grumble 3885 against 5921 him?"
12 ¶ Then Moses 4872 sent 7971 a summons 7121 to Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48, the sons 1121 of Eliab 446; but they said 559, "We will not come 5927 up.
13 "Is it not enough 4592 that you have brought 5927 us up out of a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706 to have us die 4191 in the wilderness 4057, but you would also 1571 lord 8323 it over 5921 us?
14 "Indeed 637, you have not brought 935 us into a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, nor 3808 have you given 5414 us an inheritance 5159 of fields 7704 and vineyards 3754. Would you put 5365 out the eyes 5869 of these 1992 men 376? We will not come 5927 up!"
15 ¶ Then Moses 4872 became 2734 very 3966 angry 2734 and said 559 to the LORD 3068, "Do not regard 6437 their offering 4503! I have not taken 5375 a single 259 donkey 2543 from them, nor 3808 have I done 7489 harm 7489 to any 259 of them."
16 Moses 4872 said 559 to Korah 7141, "You and all 3605 your company 5712 be present 1961 before 6440 the LORD 3068 tomorrow 4279, both you and they along with Aaron 175.
17 "Each 376 of you take 3947 his firepan 4289 and put 5414 incense 7004 on it, and each 376 of you bring 7126 his censer 4289 before 6440 the LORD 3068, two hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 firepans 4289; also you and Aaron 175 {shall} each 376 {bring} his firepan 4289."
18 So they each 376 took 3947 his {own} censer 4289 and put 5414 fire 784 on it, and laid 7760 incense 7004 on it; and they stood 5975 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, with Moses 4872 and Aaron 175.
19 Thus Korah 7141 assembled 6950 all 3605 the congregation 5712 against 5921 them at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150. And the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 to all 3605 the congregation 5712.
20 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, saying 559,
21 "Separate 914 yourselves from among 8432 this 2088 congregation 5712, that I may consume 3615 them instantly 7281."
22 But they fell 5307 on their faces 6440 and said 559, "O God 410, God 430 of the spirits 7307 of all 3605 flesh 1320, when one 259 man 376 sins 2398, will You be angry 7107 with the entire 3605 congregation 5712?"
23 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
24 "Speak 1696 to the congregation 5712, saying 559, 'Get 5927 back 5927 from around 5439 the dwellings 4908 of Korah 7141, Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48.'"
25 ¶ Then Moses 4872 arose 6965 and went 1980 to Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48, with the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 following him,
26 and he spoke 1696 to the congregation 5712, saying 559, "Depart 5493 now 4994 from the tents 168 of these 428 wicked 7563 men 376, and touch 5060 nothing that belongs to them, or 6435 you will be swept 5595 away 5595 in all 3605 their sin 2403."
27 So they got 5927 back 5927 from around 5439 the dwellings 4908 of Korah 7141, Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48; and Dathan 1885 and Abiram 48 came 3318 out {and} stood 5324 at the doorway 6607 of their tents 168, along with their wives 802 and their sons 1121 and their little 2945 ones 2945.
28 Moses 4872 said 559, "By this 2088 you shall know 3045 that the LORD 3068 has sent 7971 me to do 6213 all 3605 these 428 deeds 4639; for this is not my doing.
29 "If 518 these 428 men 428 die 4191 the death 4194 of all 3605 men 120 or if they suffer 6485 the fate 6486 of all 3605 men 120, {then} the LORD 3068 has not sent 7971 me.
30 "But if 518 the LORD 3068 brings 1254 about 1254 an entirely 1278 new 1278 thing 1278 and the ground 127 opens 6475 its mouth 6310 and swallows 1104 them up with all 3605 that is theirs 1992, and they descend 3381 alive 2416 into Sheol 7585, then you will understand 3045 that these 428 men 376 have spurned 5006 the LORD 3068."
31 ¶ As he finished 3615 speaking 1696 all 3605 these 428 words 1697, the ground 127 that was under 8478 them split 1234 open 1234;
32 and the earth 776 opened 6605 its mouth 6310 and swallowed 1104 them up, and their households 1004, and all 3605 the men 120 who 834 belonged to Korah 7141 with {their} possessions 7399.
33 So they and all 3605 that belonged to them went 3381 down 3381 alive 2416 to Sheol 7585; and the earth 776 closed 3680 over 5921 them, and they perished 6 from the midst 8432 of the assembly 6951.
34 All 3605 Israel 3478 who 834 {were} around 5439 them fled 5127 at their outcry 6963, for they said 559, "The earth 776 may swallow 1104 us up!"
35 Fire 784 also came 3318 forth 3318 from the LORD 3068 and consumed 398 the two hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 men 376 who were offering 7126 the incense 7004.
36 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
37 "Say 559 to Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, that he shall take 7311 up the censers 4289 out of the midst 996 of the blaze 8316, for they are holy 6942; and you scatter 2219 the burning 784 coals 784 abroad 1973.
38 "As for the censers 4289 of these 428 men who 2400 have sinned 2400 at the cost of their lives 5315, let them be made 6213 into hammered 7555 sheets 6341 for a plating 6826 of the altar 4196, since 3588 they did present 7126 them before 6440 the LORD 3068 and they are holy 6942; and they shall be for a sign 226 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
39 So Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 took 3947 the bronze 5178 censers 4289 which 834 the men who were burned 8313 had offered 7126, and they hammered 7554 them out as a plating 6826 for the altar 4196,
40 as a reminder 2146 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 that no 3808 layman 2114 who 834 is not of the descendants 2233 of Aaron 175 should come 7126 near 7126 to burn 6999 incense 7004 before 6440 the LORD 3068; so that he will not become 1961 like Korah 7141 and his company 5712--just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to him through 3027 Moses 4872.

Murmuring and Plague

¶ But on the next 4283 day 4283 all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 grumbled 3885 against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, saying 559, "You are the ones who have caused 4191 the death 4191 of the LORD'S 3068 people 5971."
42 It came 1961 about, however, when the congregation 5712 had assembled 6950 against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, that they turned 6437 toward 413 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and behold 2009, the cloud 6051 covered 3680 it and the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200.
43 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 came 935 to the front 6440 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150,
44 and the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
45 "Get 7426 away 7426 from among 8432 this 2088 congregation 5712, that I may consume 3615 them instantly 7281." Then they fell 5307 on their faces 6440.
46 Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, "Take 3947 your censer 4289 and put 5414 in it fire 784 from the altar 4196, and lay 7760 incense 7004 {on it;} then bring 1980 it quickly 4120 to the congregation 5712 and make 3722 atonement 3722 for them, for wrath 7110 has gone 3318 forth 3318 from the LORD 3068, the plague 5063 has begun 2490!"
47 Then Aaron 175 took 3947 {it} as Moses 4872 had spoken 1696, and ran 7323 into the midst 8432 of the assembly 6951, for behold 2009, the plague 5063 had begun 2490 among the people 5971. So he put 5414 {on} the incense 7004 and made 3722 atonement 3722 for the people 5971.
48 He took 5975 his stand 5975 between 996 the dead 4191 and the living 2416, so that the plague 4046 was checked 6113.
49 But those who died 4191 by the plague 4046 were 14,700, besides those who died 4191 on account of Korah 7141.
50 Then Aaron 175 returned 7725 to Moses 4872 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, for the plague 4046 had been checked 6113.

Aaron's Rod Buds

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and get 3947 from them a rod 4294 for each father's 1 household 1004: twelve rods 4294, from all 3605 their leaders 5387 according to their fathers' 1 households 1004. You shall write 3789 each 376 name 8034 on his rod 4294,
3 and write 3789 Aaron's 175 name 8034 on the rod 4294 of Levi 3878; for there is one 259 rod 4294 for the head 7218 {of each} of their fathers' 1 households 1004.
4 "You shall then deposit 5117 them in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 in front 6440 of the testimony 5715, where I meet 3259 with you.
5 "It will come 1961 about that the rod 4294 of the man 376 whom 834 I choose 977 will sprout 6524. Thus I will lessen 7918 from upon Myself the grumblings 8519 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, who 834 are grumbling 3885 against 5921 you."
6 Moses 4872 therefore spoke 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and all 3605 their leaders 5387 gave 5414 him a rod 4294 apiece 259, for each 259 leader 5387 according to their fathers' 1 households 1004, twelve rods 4294, with the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 among 8432 their rods 4294.
7 So Moses 4872 deposited 5117 the rods 4294 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in the tent 168 of the testimony 5715.
8 ¶ Now on the next 4283 day 4283 Moses 4872 went 935 into the tent 168 of the testimony 5715; and behold 2009, the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 for the house 1004 of Levi 3878 had sprouted 6524 and put 3318 forth 3318 buds 6525 and produced 6692 blossoms 6692, and it bore 1580 ripe 1580 almonds 8247.
9 Moses 4872 then brought 3318 out all 3605 the rods 4294 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; and they looked 7200, and each 376 man 376 took 3947 his rod 4294.
10 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Put 7725 back 7725 the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 before 6440 the testimony 5715 to be kept 4931 as a sign 226 against the rebels 4805, that you may put 3615 an end 3615 to their grumblings 8519 against Me, so that they will not die 4191."
11 Thus Moses 4872 did 6213; just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him, so 3651 he did 6213.
12 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559, "Behold 2005, we perish 1478, we are dying 6, we are all 3605 dying 6!
13 "Everyone 3605 who comes 7131 near 7131, who comes 7131 near 7131 to the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068, must die 4191. Are we to perish 1478 completely 8552?"

Chapter 18

Duties of Levites

So the LORD 3068 said 559 to Aaron 175, "You and your sons 1121 and your father's 1 household 1004 with you shall bear 5375 the guilt 5771 in connection with the sanctuary 4720, and you and your sons 1121 with you shall bear 5375 the guilt 5771 in connection with your priesthood 3550.
2 "But bring 7126 with you also 1571 your brothers 251, the tribe 4294 of Levi 3878, the tribe 7626 of your father 1, that they may be joined 3867 with you and serve 8334 you, while you and your sons 1121 with you are before 6440 the tent 168 of the testimony 5715.
3 "And they shall thus attend 8104 to your obligation 4931 and the obligation 4931 of all 3605 the tent 168, but they shall not come 7126 near 7126 to the furnishings 3627 of the sanctuary 6944 and the altar 4196, or 3808 both 1571 they and you will die 4191.
4 "They shall be joined 3867 with you and attend 8104 to the obligations 4931 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, for all 3605 the service 5656 of the tent 168; but an outsider 2114 may not come 7126 near 7126 you.
5 "So you shall attend 8104 to the obligations 4931 of the sanctuary 6944 and the obligations 4931 of the altar 4196, so that there will no 3808 longer 5750 be wrath 7110 on the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
6 "Behold 2009, I Myself 589 have taken 3947 your fellow 251 Levites 3881 from among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; they are a gift 4979 to you, dedicated 5414 to the LORD 3068, to perform 5647 the service 5656 for the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
7 "But you and your sons 1121 with you shall attend 8104 to your priesthood 3550 for everything 3605 concerning 1697 the altar 4196 and inside the veil 6532, and you are to perform 5647 service 5656. I am giving 5414 you the priesthood 3550 as a bestowed 4979 service 5656, but the outsider 2114 who comes 7131 near 7131 shall be put 4191 to death 4191."

The Priests' Portion

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Aaron 175, "Now behold 2009, I Myself 589 have given 5414 you charge 4931 of My offerings 8641, even all 3605 the holy 6944 gifts of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 I have given 5414 them to you as a portion 4888 and to your sons 1121 as a perpetual 5769 allotment 2706.
9 "This 2088 shall be yours from the most 6944 holy 6944 {gifts reserved} from the fire 784; every 3605 offering 7133 of theirs, even every 3605 grain offering 4503 and every 3605 sin 2403 offering 2403 and every 3605 guilt 817 offering 817, which 834 they shall render 7725 to Me, shall be most 6944 holy 6944 for you and for your sons 1121.
10 "As the most 6944 holy 6944 {gifts} you shall eat 398 it; every 3605 male 2145 shall eat 398 it. It shall be holy 6944 to you.
11 "This 2088 also is yours, the offering 8641 of their gift 4976, even all 3605 the wave 8573 offerings 8573 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; I have given 5414 them to you and to your sons 1121 and daughters 1323 with you as a perpetual 5769 allotment 2706. Everyone 3605 of your household 1004 who is clean 2889 may eat 398 it.
12 "All 3605 the best 2459 of the fresh 3323 oil 3323 and all 3605 the best 2459 of the fresh 8492 wine 8492 and of the grain 1715, the first 7225 fruits 7225 of those which 834 they give 5414 to the LORD 3068, I give 5414 them to you.
13 "The first 1061 ripe 1061 fruits 1061 of all 3605 that is in their land 776, which 834 they bring 935 to the LORD 3068, shall be yours; everyone 3605 of your household 1004 who is clean 2889 may eat 398 it.
14 "Every 3605 devoted 2764 thing 2764 in Israel 3478 shall be yours.
15 "Every 3605 first 6363 issue 6363 of the womb 7358 of all 3605 flesh 1320, whether man 120 or animal 929, which 834 they offer 7126 to the LORD 3068, shall be yours; nevertheless 389 the firstborn 1060 of man 120 you shall surely 6299 redeem 6299, and the firstborn 1060 of unclean 2931 animals 929 you shall redeem 6299.
16 "As to their redemption 6299 price 6299, from a month 2320 old 1121 you shall redeem 6299 them, by your valuation 6187, five 2568 shekels 8255 in silver 3701, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, which 1931 is twenty 6242 gerahs 1626.
17 "But the firstborn 1060 of an ox 7794 or 176 the firstborn 1060 of a sheep 3775 or 176 the firstborn 1060 of a goat 5795, you shall not redeem 6299; they are holy 6944. You shall sprinkle 2236 their blood 1818 on the altar 4196 and shall offer 6999 up their fat 2459 in smoke 6999 {as} an offering 801 by fire 801, for a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068.
18 "Their meat 1320 shall be yours; it shall be yours like the breast 2373 of a wave 8573 offering 8573 and like the right 3225 thigh 7785.
19 "All 3605 the offerings 8641 of the holy 6944 {gifts,} which 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 offer 7311 to the LORD 3068, I have given 5414 to you and your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323 with you, as a perpetual 5769 allotment 2706. It is an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285 of salt 4417 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to you and your descendants 2233 with you."
20 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Aaron 175, "You shall have no 3808 inheritance 5157 in their land 776 nor 3808 own 1961 any portion 2506 among 8432 them; I am your portion 2506 and your inheritance 5159 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
21 ¶ "To the sons 1121 of Levi 3878, behold 2009, I have given 5414 all 3605 the tithe 4643 in Israel 3478 for an inheritance 5159, in return 2500 for their service 5656 which 834 they perform 5647, the service 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
22 "The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall not come 7126 near 7126 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 again 5750, or they will bear 5375 sin 2399 and die 4191.
23 "Only the Levites 3881 shall perform 5647 the service 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and they shall bear 5375 their iniquity 5771; it shall be a perpetual 5769 statute 2708 throughout your generations 1755, and among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 they shall have 5157 no 3808 inheritance 5159.
24 "For the tithe 4643 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, which 834 they offer 7311 as an offering 8641 to the LORD 3068, I have given 5414 to the Levites 3881 for an inheritance 5159; therefore I have said 559 concerning them, 'They shall have 5157 no 3808 inheritance 5159 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.'"
25 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
26 "Moreover, you shall speak 1696 to the Levites 3881 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 you take 3947 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 the tithe 4643 which 834 I have given 5414 you from them for your inheritance 5159, then you shall present 7311 an offering 8641 from it to the LORD 3068, a tithe 4643 of the tithe 4643.
27 'Your offering 8641 shall be reckoned 2803 to you as the grain 1715 from the threshing 1637 floor 1637 or the full 4395 produce 4395 from the wine 3342 vat 3342.
28 'So 3651 you shall also 1571 present 7311 an offering 8641 to the LORD 3068 from your tithes 4643, which 834 you receive 3947 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; and from it you shall give 5414 the LORD'S 3068 offering 8641 to Aaron 175 the priest 3548.
29 'Out of all 3605 your gifts 4979 you shall present 7311 every 3605 offering 8641 due to the LORD 3068, from all 3605 the best 2459 of them, the sacred 4720 part 4720 from them.'
30 "You shall say 559 to them, 'When you have offered 7311 from it the best 2459 of it, then {the rest} shall be reckoned 2803 to the Levites 3881 as the product 8393 of the threshing 1637 floor 1637, and as the product 8393 of the wine 3342 vat 3342.
31 'You may eat 398 it anywhere, you and your households 1004, for it is your compensation 7939 in return 2500 for your service 5656 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
32 'You will bear 5375 no 3808 sin 2399 by reason 5921 of it when you have offered 7311 the best 2459 of it. But you shall not profane 2490 the sacred 6944 gifts 6944 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, or 3808 you will die 4191.'"

Chapter 19

Ordinance of the Red Heifer

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, saying 559,
2 "This 2088 is the statute 2708 of the law 8451 which 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, saying 559, 'Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 that they bring 3947 you an unblemished 8549 red 122 heifer 6499 in which 834 is no 369 defect 4140 {and} on which 834 a yoke 5923 has never 3808 been placed 5927.
3 'You shall give 5414 it to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and it shall be brought 3318 outside the camp 4264 and be slaughtered 7819 in his presence 6440.
4 'Next Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 shall take 3947 some 4480 of its blood 1818 with his finger 676 and sprinkle 5137 some 4480 of its blood 1818 toward 413 the front 6440 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 seven 7651 times 6471.
5 'Then the heifer 6499 shall be burned 8313 in his sight 5869; its hide 5785 and its flesh 1320 and its blood 1818, with its refuse 6569, shall be burned 8313.
6 'The priest 3548 shall take 3947 cedar 730 wood 6086 and hyssop 231 and scarlet 8144 {material} and cast 7993 it into the midst 8432 of the burning 8316 heifer 6499.
7 'The priest 3548 shall then wash 3526 his clothes 899 and bathe 7364 his body 1320 in water 4325, and afterward 310 come 935 into the camp 4264, but the priest 3548 shall be unclean 2930 until 5704 evening 6153.
8 'The one who burns 8313 it shall also wash 3526 his clothes 899 in water 4325 and bathe 7364 his body 1320 in water 4325, and shall be unclean 2930 until 5704 evening 6153.
9 'Now a man 376 who is clean 2889 shall gather 622 up the ashes 665 of the heifer 6499 and deposit 5117 them outside the camp 4264 in a clean 2889 place 4725, and the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall keep 4931 it as water 4325 to remove impurity 5079; it is purification 2403 from sin 2403.
10 'The one who gathers 622 the ashes 665 of the heifer 6499 shall wash 3526 his clothes 899 and be unclean 2930 until 5704 evening 6153; and it shall be a perpetual 5769 statute 2708 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and to the alien 1616 who sojourns 1481 among 8432 them.
11 ¶ 'The one who touches 5060 the corpse 4191 of any 3605 person shall be unclean 2930 for seven 7651 days 3117.
12 'That one 1931 shall purify 2398 himself from uncleanness 2398 with the water on the third 7992 day 3117 and on the seventh 7637 day 3117, {and then} he will be clean 2891; but if 518 he does not purify 2398 himself on the third 7992 day 3117 and on the seventh 7637 day 3117, he will not be clean 2891.
13 'Anyone 3605 who touches 5060 a corpse 4191, the body 5315 of a man 120 who 834 has died 4191, and does not purify 2398 himself, defiles 2930 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068; and that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from Israel 3478. Because 3588 the water 4325 for impurity 5079 was not sprinkled 2236 on him, he shall be unclean 2931; his uncleanness 2932 is still 5750 on him.
14 ¶ 'This 2088 is the law 8451 when 3588 a man 120 dies 4191 in a tent 168: everyone 3605 who comes 935 into the tent 168 and everyone 3605 who 834 is in the tent 168 shall be unclean 2930 for seven 7651 days 3117.
15 'Every 3605 open 6605 vessel 3627, which 834 has 369 no 369 covering 6781 tied 6616 down 6616 on it, shall be unclean 2931.
16 'Also, anyone 3605 who 834 in the open 6440 field 7704 touches 5060 one 2491 who 2491 has been slain 2491 with a sword 2719 or 176 who has died 4191 {naturally,} or 176 a human 120 bone 6106 or 176 a grave 6913, shall be unclean 2930 for seven 7651 days 3117.
17 'Then for the unclean 2931 {person} they shall take 3947 some 4480 of the ashes 6083 of the burnt 8316 purification 2403 from sin 2403 and flowing 2416 water 4325 shall be added 5414 to them in a vessel 3627.
18 'A clean 2889 person 376 shall take 3947 hyssop 231 and dip 2881 {it} in the water 4325, and sprinkle 5137 {it} on the tent 168 and on all 3605 the furnishings 3627 and on the persons 5315 who 834 were there 8033, and on the one who touched 5060 the bone 6106 or 176 the one 2491 slain 2491 or 176 the one dying 4191 {naturally} or 176 the grave 6913.
19 'Then the clean 2889 {person} shall sprinkle 5137 on the unclean 2931 on the third 7992 day 3117 and on the seventh 7637 day 3117; and on the seventh 7637 day 3117 he shall purify 2398 him from uncleanness 2398, and he shall wash 3526 his clothes 899 and bathe 7364 {himself} in water 4325 and shall be clean 2891 by evening 6153.
20 ¶ 'But the man 376 who 834 is unclean 2930 and does not purify 2398 himself from uncleanness 2398, that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from the midst 8432 of the assembly 6951, because 3588 he has defiled 2930 the sanctuary 4720 of the LORD 3068; the water 4325 for impurity 5079 has not been sprinkled 2236 on him, he is unclean 2931.
21 'So it shall be a perpetual 5769 statute 2708 for them. And he who sprinkles 5137 the water 4325 for impurity 5079 shall wash 3526 his clothes 899, and he who touches 5060 the water 4325 for impurity 5079 shall be unclean 2930 until 5704 evening 6153.
22 'Furthermore, anything 3605 that the unclean 2931 {person} touches 5060 shall be unclean 2930; and the person 5315 who touches 5060 {it} shall be unclean 2930 until 5704 evening 6153.'"

Death of Miriam

Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, the whole 3605 congregation 5712, came 935 to the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790 in the first 7223 month 2320; and the people 5971 stayed 3427 at Kadesh 6946. Now Miriam 4813 died 4191 there 8033 and was buried 6912 there 8033.
2 ¶ There was no 3808 water 4325 for the congregation 5712, and they assembled 6950 themselves against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175.
3 The people 5971 thus contended 7378 with Moses 4872 and spoke 559, saying 559, "If 3863 only 3863 we had perished 1478 when our brothers 251 perished 1478 before 6440 the LORD 3068!
4 "Why 4100 then have you brought 935 the LORD'S 3068 assembly 6951 into this 2088 wilderness 4057, for us and our beasts 1165 to die 4191 here 8033?
5 "Why 4100 have you made us come 5927 up from Egypt 4714, to bring 935 us in to this 2088 wretched 7451 place 4725? It is not a place 4725 of grain 2233 or figs 8384 or vines 1612 or pomegranates 7416, nor 369 is there 369 water 4325 to drink 8354."
6 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 came 935 in from the presence 6440 of the assembly 6951 to the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and fell 5307 on their faces 6440. Then the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 to them;
7 and the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
8

The Water of Meribah

"Take 3947 the rod 4294; and you and your brother 251 Aaron 175 assemble 6950 the congregation 5712 and speak 1696 to the rock 5553 before their eyes 5869, that it may yield 5414 its water 4325. You shall thus bring 3318 forth 3318 water 4325 for them out of the rock 5553 and let the congregation 5712 and their beasts 1165 drink 8248."
9 ¶ So Moses 4872 took 3947 the rod 4294 from before the LORD 3068, just 3512 as He had commanded 6680 him;
10 and Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 gathered 6950 the assembly 6951 before the rock 5553. And he said 559 to them, "Listen 8085 now 4994, you rebels 4784; shall we bring 3318 forth 3318 water 4325 for you out of this 2088 rock 5553?"
11 Then Moses 4872 lifted 7311 up his hand 3027 and struck 5221 the rock 5553 twice 6471 with his rod 4294; and water 4325 came 3318 forth 3318 abundantly 7227, and the congregation 5712 and their beasts 1165 drank 8354.
12 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, "Because 3282 you have not believed 539 Me, to treat 6942 Me as holy 6942 in the sight 5869 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, therefore 3651 you shall not bring 935 this 2088 assembly 6951 into the land 776 which 834 I have given 5414 them."
13 Those 1992 {were} the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809, because 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 contended 7378 with the LORD 3068, and He proved 6942 Himself holy 6942 among them.
14 ¶ From Kadesh 6946 Moses 4872 then sent 7971 messengers 4397 to the king 4428 of Edom 112: "Thus 3541 your brother 251 Israel 3478 has said 559, 'You know 3045 all 3605 the hardship 8513 that has befallen 4672 us;
15 that our fathers 1 went 3381 down 3381 to Egypt 4714, and we stayed 3427 in Egypt 4714 a long 7227 time 3117, and the Egyptians 4714 treated 7489 us and our fathers 1 badly 7489.
16 'But when we cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068, He heard 8085 our voice 6963 and sent 7971 an angel 4397 and brought 3318 us out from Egypt 4714; now behold 2009, we are at Kadesh 6946, a town 5892 on the edge 7097 of your territory 1366.
17 'Please 4994 let us pass 5674 through your land 776. We will not pass 5674 through 5674 field 7704 or through vineyard 3754; we will not even drink 8354 water 4325 from a well 875. We will go 1980 along the king's 4428 highway 1870, not turning 5186 to the right 3225 or left 8040, until we pass 5674 through 5674 your territory 1366.'"
18 ¶ Edom 112, however, said 559 to him, "You shall not pass 5674 through 5674 us, or 6435 I will come 3318 out with the sword 2719 against 7122 you."
19 Again, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 said 559 to him, "We will go 5927 up by the highway 4546, and if 518 I and my livestock 4735 do drink 8354 any of your water 4325, then I will pay 5414 its price 4377. Let me only 7534 pass 5674 through 5674 on my feet 7272, nothing {else.}"
20 But he said 559, "You shall not pass 5674 through 5674." And Edom 112 came 3318 out against 7122 him with a heavy 3515 force 5971 and with a strong 2389 hand 3027.
21 Thus Edom 112 refused 3985 to allow 5414 Israel 3478 to pass 5674 through 5674 his territory 1366; so Israel 3478 turned 5186 away 5186 from him.
22 ¶ Now when they set 5265 out from Kadesh 6946, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, the whole 3605 congregation 5712, came 935 to Mount 2022 Hor 2023.
23

Death of Aaron

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 at Mount 2022 Hor 2023 by the border 1366 of the land 776 of Edom 112, saying 559,
24 "Aaron 175 will be gathered 622 to his people 5971; for he shall not enter 935 the land 776 which 834 I have given 5414 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, because you rebelled 4784 against 854 My command 6310 at the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809.
25 "Take 3947 Aaron 175 and his son 1121 Eleazar 499 and bring 5927 them up to Mount 2022 Hor 2023;
26 and strip 6584 Aaron 175 of his garments 899 and put 3847 them on his son 1121 Eleazar 499. So Aaron 175 will be gathered 622 {to his people,} and will die 4191 there 8033."
27 So Moses 4872 did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680, and they went 5927 up to Mount 2022 Hor 2023 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the congregation 5712.
28 After Moses 4872 had stripped 6584 Aaron 175 of his garments 899 and put 3847 them on his son 1121 Eleazar 499, Aaron 175 died 4191 there 8033 on the mountain 2022 top 7218. Then Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 came 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022.
29 When all 3605 the congregation 5712 saw 7200 that Aaron 175 had died 1478, all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 wept 1058 for Aaron 175 thirty 7970 days 3117.

Chapter 21

Arad Conquered

When the Canaanite 3669, the king 4428 of Arad 6166, who lived 3427 in the Negev 5045, heard 8085 that Israel 3478 was coming 935 by the way 1870 of Atharim 871, then he fought 3898 against Israel 3478 and took 7617 some 4480 of them captive 7628.
2 So Israel 3478 made 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, "If 518 You will indeed 5414 deliver 5414 this 2088 people 5971 into my hand 3027, then I will utterly 2763 destroy 2763 their cities 5892."
3 The LORD 3068 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of Israel 3478 and delivered 5414 up the Canaanites 3669; then they utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 them and their cities 5892. Thus the name 8034 of the place 4725 was called 7121 Hormah 2767.
4 ¶ Then they set 5265 out from Mount 2022 Hor 2023 by the way 1870 of the Red Sea 3220, to go 5437 around 5437 the land 776 of Edom 112; and the people became 7114 impatient 7114 because of the journey 1870.
5 The people 5971 spoke 1696 against God 430 and Moses 4872, "Why 4100 have you brought 5927 us up out of Egypt 4714 to die 4191 in the wilderness 4057? For there 369 is no 369 food 3899 and no 369 water 4325, and we loathe 6973 this miserable 7052 food 3899."

The Bronze Serpent

The LORD 3068 sent 7971 fiery 8314 serpents 8314 among the people 5971 and they bit 5391 the people 5971, so that many 7227 people 5971 of Israel 3478 died 4191.
7 So the people 5971 came 935 to Moses 4872 and said 559, "We have sinned 2398, because 3588 we have spoken 1696 against the LORD 3068 and you; intercede 6419 with the LORD 3068, that He may remove 5493 the serpents 5175 from us." And Moses 4872 interceded 6419 for the people 5971.
8 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Make 6213 a fiery 8314 {serpent,} and set 7760 it on a standard 5251; and it shall come 1961 about, that everyone 3605 who is bitten 5391, when he looks 7200 at it, he will live 2421."
9 And Moses 4872 made 6213 a bronze 5178 serpent 5175 and set 7760 it on the standard 5251; and it came 1961 about, that if 518 a serpent 5175 bit 5391 any 376 man 376, when he looked 5027 to the bronze 5178 serpent 5175, he lived 2421.
10 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 moved 5265 out and camped 2583 in Oboth 88.
11 They journeyed 5265 from Oboth 88 and camped 2583 at Iyeabarim 5863, in the wilderness 4057 which 834 is opposite Moab 4124, to the east.
12 From there 8033 they set 5265 out and camped 2583 in Wadi 5158 Zered 2218.
13 From there 8033 they journeyed 5265 and camped 2583 on the other 5676 side 5676 of the Arnon 769, which 834 is in the wilderness 4057 that comes 3318 out of the border 1366 of the Amorites 567, for the Arnon 769 is the border 1366 of Moab 4124, between 996 Moab 4124 and the Amorites 567.
14 Therefore it is said 559 in the Book 5612 of the Wars 4421 of the LORD 3068, "Waheb 2052 in Suphah 5492, And the wadis 5158 of the Arnon 769,
15 And the slope 793 of the wadis 5158 That extends 5186 to the site 7675 of Ar 6144, And leans 8172 to the border 1366 of Moab 4124."
16 ¶ From there 8033 {they continued} to Beer 876, that is the well 875 where 834 the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Assemble 622 the people 5971, that I may give 5414 them water 4325."
17 ¶ Then 227 Israel 3478 sang 7891 this 2088 song 7892: "Spring 5927 up, O well 875! Sing 6031 to it!
18 "The well 875, which the leaders 8269 sank 2658, Which the nobles 5081 of the people 5971 dug 3738, With the scepter 2710 {and} with their staffs 4938." And from the wilderness 4057 {they continued} to Mattanah 4980,
19 and from Mattanah 4980 to Nahaliel 5160, and from Nahaliel 5160 to Bamoth 1120,
20 and from Bamoth 1120 to the valley 1516 that is in the land 7704 of Moab 4124, at the top 7218 of Pisgah 6449 which overlooks the wasteland 3452.
21

Two Victories

Then Israel 3478 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, saying 559,
22 "Let me pass 5674 through 5674 your land 776. We will not turn 5186 off into field 7704 or vineyard 3754; we will not drink 8354 water 4325 from wells 875. We will go 1980 by the king's 4428 highway 1870 until we have passed 5674 through 5674 your border 1366."
23 But Sihon 5511 would not permit 5414 Israel 3478 to pass 5674 through 5674 his border 1366. So Sihon 5511 gathered 622 all 3605 his people 5971 and went 3318 out against 7122 Israel 3478 in the wilderness 4057, and came 935 to Jahaz 3096 and fought 3898 against Israel 3478.
24 Then Israel 3478 struck 5221 him with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, and took 3423 possession 3423 of his land 776 from the Arnon 769 to the Jabbok 2999, as far 5704 as the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983; for the border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 {was} Jazer 3270.
25 Israel 3478 took 3947 all 3605 these 428 cities 5892 and Israel 3478 lived 3427 in all 3605 the cities 5892 of the Amorites 567, in Heshbon 2809, and in all 3605 her villages 1323.
26 For Heshbon 2809 was the city 5892 of Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 1931 had fought 3898 against the former 7223 king 4428 of Moab 4124 and had taken 3947 all 3605 his land 776 out of his hand 3027, as far 5704 as the Arnon 769.
27 Therefore those who use 4911 proverbs 4911 say 559, "Come 935 to Heshbon 2809! Let it be built 1129! So let the city 5892 of Sihon 5511 be established 3559.
28 "For a fire 784 went 3318 forth 3318 from Heshbon 2809, A flame 3852 from the town 7151 of Sihon 5511; It devoured 398 Ar 6144 of Moab 4124, The dominant 1167 heights 1181 of the Arnon 769.
29 "Woe 188 to you, O Moab 4124! You are ruined 6, O people 5971 of Chemosh 3645! He has given 5414 his sons 1121 as fugitives 6412, And his daughters 1323 into captivity 7622, To an Amorite 567 king 4428, Sihon 5511.
30 "But we have cast 3384 them down 3384, Heshbon 2809 is ruined 6 as far 5704 as Dibon 1769, Then we have laid 8074 waste 8074 even 5704 to Nophah 5302, Which 834 {reaches} to Medeba 4311."
31 ¶ Thus Israel 3478 lived 3427 in the land 776 of the Amorites 567.
32 Moses 4872 sent 7971 to spy 7270 out Jazer 3270, and they captured 3920 its villages 1323 and dispossessed 3423 the Amorites 567 who 834 {were} there 8033.
33 ¶ Then they turned 6437 and went 5927 up by the way 1870 of Bashan 1316, and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316 went 3318 out with all 3605 his people 5971, for battle 4421 at Edrei 154.
34 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Do not fear 3372 him, for I have given 5414 him into your hand 3027, and all 3605 his people 5971 and his land 776; and you shall do 6213 to him as you did 6213 to Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 lived 3427 at Heshbon 2809."
35 So they killed 5221 him and his sons 1121 and all 3605 his people 5971, until 5704 there was no 1115 remnant 8300 left 7604 him; and they possessed 3423 his land 776.

Balak Sends for Balaam

Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed 5265, and camped 2583 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 beyond the Jordan 3383 {opposite} Jericho 3405.
2 ¶ Now Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834 saw 7200 all 3605 that Israel 3478 had done 6213 to the Amorites 567.
3 So Moab 4124 was in great 3966 fear 1481 because of the people 5971, for they were numerous 7227; and Moab 4124 was in dread 6973 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
4 Moab 4124 said 559 to the elders 2205 of Midian 4080, "Now 6258 this horde 6951 will lick 3897 up all 3605 that is around 5439 us, as the ox 7794 licks 3897 up the grass 3418 of the field 7704." And Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834 was king 4428 of Moab 4124 at that time 6256.
5 So he sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160, at Pethor 6604, which 834 is near 5921 the River 5104, {in} the land 776 of the sons 1121 of his people 5971, to call 7121 him, saying 559, "Behold 2009, a people 5971 came 3318 out of Egypt 4714; behold 2009, they cover 3680 the surface 5869 of the land 776, and they are living 3427 opposite me.
6 "Now 6258, therefore, please 4994 come 1980, curse 779 this 2088 people 5971 for me since 3588 they are too 4480 mighty 6099 for me; perhaps 194 I may be able 3201 to defeat 5221 them and drive 1644 them out of the land 776. For I know 3045 that he whom 834 you bless 1288 is blessed 1288, and he whom 834 you curse 779 is cursed 779."
7 ¶ So the elders 2205 of Moab 4124 and the elders 2205 of Midian 4080 departed 1980 with the {fees for} divination 7081 in their hand 3027; and they came 935 to Balaam 1109 and repeated 1696 Balak's 1111 words 1697 to him.
8 He said 559 to them, "Spend 3885 the night 3915 here 6311, and I will bring 7725 word 1697 back 7725 to you as the LORD 3068 may speak 1696 to me." And the leaders 8269 of Moab 4124 stayed 3427 with Balaam 1109.
9 Then God 430 came 935 to Balaam 1109 and said 559, "Who 4310 are these 428 men 376 with you?"
10 Balaam 1109 said 559 to God 430, "Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834, king 4428 of Moab 4124, has sent 7971 {word} to me,
11 'Behold 2009, there is a people 5971 who came 3318 out of Egypt 4714 and they cover 3680 the surface 5869 of the land 776; now 6258 come 1980, curse 6895 them for me; perhaps 194 I may be able 3201 to fight 3898 against them and drive 1644 them out.'"
12 God 430 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Do not go 1980 with them; you shall not curse 779 the people 5971, for they are blessed 1288."
13 So Balaam 1109 arose 6965 in the morning 1242 and said 559 to Balak's 1111 leaders 8269, "Go 1980 back 1980 to your land 776, for the LORD 3068 has refused 3985 to let 5414 me go 1980 with you."
14 The leaders 8269 of Moab 4124 arose 6965 and went 1980 to Balak 1111 and said 559, "Balaam 1109 refused 3985 to come 1980 with us."
15 ¶ Then Balak 1111 again sent 7971 leaders 8269, more 4480 numerous 7227 and more 4480 distinguished 3513 than 4480 the former 428.
16 They came 935 to Balaam 1109 and said 559 to him, "Thus 3541 says 559 Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834, 'Let nothing 408, I beg 4994 you, hinder 4513 you from coming 1980 to me;
17 for I will indeed 3513 honor 3513 you richly 3966, and I will do 6213 whatever you say 559 to me. Please 4994 come 1980 then, curse 6895 this 2088 people 5971 for me.'"
18 Balaam 1109 replied 6030 to the servants 5650 of Balak 1111, "Though 518 Balak 1111 were to give 5414 me his house 1004 full 4393 of silver 3701 and gold 2091, I could 3201 not do 6213 anything, either small 6996 or 176 great 1419, contrary 5674 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 my God 430.
19 "Now 6258 please 4994, you also 1571 stay 3427 here 2088 tonight 3915, and I will find 3045 out what 4100 else 3254 the LORD 3068 will speak 1696 to me."
20 God 430 came 935 to Balaam 1109 at night 3915 and said 559 to him, "If 518 the men 376 have come 935 to call 7121 you, rise 6965 up {and} go 1980 with them; but only 389 the word 1697 which 834 I speak 1696 to you shall you do 6213."
21 ¶ So Balaam 1109 arose 6965 in the morning 1242, and saddled 2280 his donkey 860 and went 1980 with the leaders 8269 of Moab 4124.
22

The Angel and Balaam

But God 430 was angry because 3588 he was going 1980, and the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 took 3320 his stand 3320 in the way 1870 as an adversary 7854 against him. Now he was riding 7392 on his donkey 860 and his two 8147 servants 5288 were with him.
23 When the donkey 860 saw 7200 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 standing 5324 in the way 1870 with his drawn 8025 sword 2719 in his hand 3027, the donkey 860 turned 5186 off from the way 1870 and went 1980 into the field 7704; but Balaam 1109 struck 5221 the donkey 860 to turn 5186 her back 5186 into the way 1870.
24 Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 stood 5975 in a narrow 4934 path 4934 of the vineyards 3754, {with} a wall 1447 on this 2088 side 2088 and a wall 1447 on that side 2088.
25 When the donkey 860 saw 7200 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068, she pressed 3905 herself to the wall 7023 and pressed 3905 Balaam's 1109 foot 7272 against 413 the wall 7023, so he struck 5221 her again 3254.
26 The angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 went 5674 further 3254, and stood 5975 in a narrow 6862 place 4725 where 834 there 369 was no 369 way 1870 to turn 5186 to the right 3225 hand 3225 or the left 8040.
27 When the donkey 860 saw 7200 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068, she lay 7257 down 7257 under 8478 Balaam 1109; so Balaam 1109 was angry and struck 5221 the donkey 860 with his stick 4731.
28 And the LORD 3068 opened 6605 the mouth 6310 of the donkey 860, and she said 559 to Balaam 1109, "What 4100 have I done 6213 to you, that you have struck 5221 me these 2088 three 7969 times 7272?"
29 Then Balaam 1109 said 559 to the donkey 860, "Because 3588 you have made 5953 a mockery 5953 of me! If 3863 there 3426 had 1426 been 3426 a sword 2719 in my hand 3027, I would have killed 2026 you by now 6258."
30 The donkey 860 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Am I not your donkey 860 on which 834 you have ridden 7392 all your life 5750 to this 2088 day 3117? Have I ever 5532 been accustomed 5532 to do 6213 so 3541 to you?" And he said 559, "No 3808."
31 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 opened 1540 the eyes 5869 of Balaam 1109, and he saw 7200 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 standing 5324 in the way 1870 with his drawn 8025 sword 2719 in his hand 3027; and he bowed 6915 all the way 1870 to the ground 639.
32 The angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "Why have you struck 5221 your donkey 860 these 2088 three 7969 times 7272? Behold 2009, I have come 3318 out as an adversary 7854, because 3588 your way 1870 was contrary 3399 to me.
33 "But the donkey 860 saw 7200 me and turned 5186 aside 5186 from me these 2088 three 7969 times 7272. If 194 she had not turned 5186 aside 5186 from me, I would surely 3588 have killed 2026 you just now 6258, and let her live 2421."
34 Balaam 1109 said 559 to the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068, "I have sinned 2398, for I did not know 3045 that you were standing 5324 in the way 1870 against 7122 me. Now 6258 then, if 518 it is displeasing 7489 to you, I will turn 7725 back 7725."
35 But the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Go 1980 with the men 376, but you shall speak 1696 only 657 the word 1697 which 834 I tell 1696 you." So Balaam 1109 went 1980 along with the leaders 8269 of Balak 1111.
36 ¶ When Balak 1111 heard 8085 that Balaam 1109 was coming 935, he went 3318 out to meet 7122 him at the city 5892 of Moab 4124, which 834 is on the Arnon 769 border 1366, at the extreme 7097 end 7097 of the border 1366.
37 Then Balak 1111 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Did I not urgently 7971 send 7971 to you to call 7121 you? Why 4100 did you not come 1980 to me? Am I really 552 unable to honor 3513 you?"
38 So Balaam 1109 said 559 to Balak 1111, "Behold 2009, I have come 935 now 6258 to you! Am I able 3201 to speak 1696 anything 3972 at all? The word 1697 that God 430 puts 7760 in my mouth 6310, that I shall speak 1696."
39 And Balaam 1109 went 1980 with Balak 1111, and they came 935 to Kiriath-huzoth 7155.
40 Balak 1111 sacrificed 2076 oxen 1241 and sheep 6629, and sent 7971 {some} to Balaam 1109 and the leaders 8269 who 834 were with him.
41 ¶ Then it came 1961 about in the morning 1242 that Balak 1111 took 3947 Balaam 1109 and brought 5927 him up to the high 1116 places 1116 of Baal 1168, and he saw 7200 from there 8033 a portion 7097 of the people 5971.

The Prophecies of Balaam

Then Balaam 1109 said 559 to Balak 1111, "Build 1129 seven 7651 altars 4196 for me here 2088, and prepare 3559 seven 7651 bulls 6499 and seven 7651 rams 352 for me here 2088."
2 Balak 1111 did 6213 just 3512 as Balaam 1109 had spoken 1696, and Balak 1111 and Balaam 1109 offered 5927 up a bull 6499 and a ram 352 on each altar 4196.
3 Then Balaam 1109 said 559 to Balak 1111, "Stand 3320 beside 5921 your burnt 5930 offering 5930, and I will go 1980; perhaps 194 the LORD 3068 will come 7136 to meet 7122 me, and whatever He shows 7200 me I will tell 5046 you." So he went 1980 to a bare 8205 hill 8205.
4 ¶ Now God 430 met 7136 Balaam 1109, and he said 559 to Him, "I have set 6186 up the seven 7651 altars 4196, and I have offered 5927 up a bull 6499 and a ram 352 on each altar 4196."
5 Then the LORD 3068 put 7760 a word 1697 in Balaam's 1109 mouth 6310 and said 559, "Return 7725 to Balak 1111, and you shall speak 1696 thus 3541."
6 So he returned 7725 to him, and behold 2009, he was standing 5324 beside 5921 his burnt 5930 offering 5930, he and all 3605 the leaders 8269 of Moab 4124.
7 He took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "From Aram 6307 Balak 1111 has brought 5148 me, Moab's 4124 king 4428 from the mountains 2022 of the East 6924, 'Come 1980 curse 779 Jacob 3290 for me, And come 1980, denounce 2194 Israel 3478!'
8 "How 4100 shall I curse 6895 whom God 410 has not cursed 6895? And how 4100 can I denounce 2194 whom the LORD 3068 has not denounced 2194?
9 "As I see 7200 him from the top 7218 of the rocks 6697, And I look 7789 at him from the hills 1389; Behold 2005, a people 5971 {who} dwells 7931 apart 910, And will not be reckoned 2803 among the nations 1471.
10 "Who 4310 can count 4487 the dust 6083 of Jacob 3290, Or number 4557 the fourth 7255 part 7255 of Israel 3478? Let me die 4191 the death 4194 of the upright 3477, And let my end 319 be like 3644 his!"
11 ¶ Then Balak 1111 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "What 4100 have you done 6213 to me? I took 3947 you to curse 6895 my enemies 340, but behold 2009, you have actually 1288 blessed 1288 them!"
12 He replied 6030, "Must I not be careful 8104 to speak 1696 what 834 the LORD 3068 puts 7760 in my mouth 6310?"
13 ¶ Then Balak 1111 said 559 to him, "Please 4994 come 1980 with me to another 312 place 4725 from where you may see 7200 them, although you will only 657 see 7200 the extreme 7097 end 7097 of them and will not see 7200 all 3605 of them; and curse 6895 them for me from there 8033."
14 So he took 3947 him to the field 7704 of Zophim 6839, to the top 7218 of Pisgah 6449, and built 1129 seven 7651 altars 4196 and offered 5927 a bull 6499 and a ram 352 on {each} altar 4196.
15 And he said 559 to Balak 1111, "Stand 3320 here 3541 beside 5921 your burnt 5930 offering 5930 while I myself 595 meet 7136 {the L{ORD}} over 3541 there 3541."
16 Then the LORD 3068 met 7136 Balaam 1109 and put 7760 a word 1697 in his mouth 6310 and said 559, "Return 7725 to Balak 1111, and thus 3541 you shall speak 1696."
17 He came 935 to him, and behold 2009, he was standing 5324 beside 5921 his burnt 5930 offering 5930, and the leaders 8269 of Moab 4124 with him. And Balak 1111 said 559 to him, "What 4100 has the LORD 3068 spoken 1696?"
18 Then he took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "Arise 6965, O Balak 1111, and hear 8085; Give 238 ear 238 to me, O son 1121 of Zippor 6834!
19 "God 410 is not a man 376, that He should lie 3576, Nor 3808 a son 1121 of man 120, that He should repent 5162; Has He said 559, and will He not do 6213 it? Or has He spoken 1696, and will He not make 6965 it good 6965?
20 "Behold 2009, I have received 3947 {a command} to bless 1288; When He has blessed 1288, then I cannot 3808 revoke 7725 it.
21 "He has not observed 5027 misfortune 205 in Jacob 3290; Nor 3808 has He seen 7200 trouble 5999 in Israel 3478; The LORD 3068 his God 430 is with him, And the shout 8643 of a king 4428 is among them.
22 "God 410 brings 3318 them out of Egypt 4714, He is for them like the horns 8443 of the wild 7214 ox 7214.
23 "For there is no 3808 omen 5173 against Jacob 3290, Nor 3808 is there any divination 7081 against Israel 3478; At the proper time 6256 it shall be said 559 to Jacob 3290 And to Israel 3478, what 4100 God 410 has done 6466!
24 "Behold 2005, a people 5971 rises 6965 like a lioness 3833, And as a lion 738 it lifts 5375 itself; It will not lie 7901 down 7901 until 5704 it devours 398 the prey 2964, And drinks 8354 the blood 1818 of the slain 2491."
25 ¶ Then Balak 1111 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Do not curse 6895 them at all 6895 nor 3808 bless 1288 them at all 1288!"
26 But Balaam 1109 replied 6030 to Balak 1111, "Did I not tell 1696 you, 'Whatever the LORD 3068 speaks 1696, that I must do 6213'?"
27 ¶ Then Balak 1111 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "Please 4994 come 1980, I will take 3947 you to another 312 place 4725; perhaps 194 it will be agreeable 3474 with God 430 that you curse 6895 them for me from there 8033."
28 So Balak 1111 took 3947 Balaam 1109 to the top 7218 of Peor 6465 which overlooks the wasteland 3452.
29 Balaam 1109 said 559 to Balak 1111, "Build 1129 seven 7651 altars 4196 for me here 2088 and prepare 3559 seven 7651 bulls 6499 and seven 7651 rams 352 for me here 2088."
30 Balak 1111 did 6213 just 3512 as Balaam 1109 had said 559, and offered 5927 up a bull 6499 and a ram 352 on {each} altar 4196.

The Prophecy from Peor

When Balaam 1109 saw 7200 that it pleased the LORD 3068 to bless 1288 Israel 3478, he did not go 1980 as at other 6471 times 6471 to seek 7122 omens 5173 but he set 7896 his face 6440 toward 413 the wilderness 4057.
2 And Balaam 1109 lifted 5375 up his eyes 5869 and saw 7200 Israel 3478 camping 7931 tribe 7626 by tribe 7626; and the Spirit 7307 of God 430 came 1961 upon him.
3 He took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "The oracle 5002 of Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160, And the oracle 5002 of the man 1397 whose eye 5869 is opened 8365;
4 The oracle 5002 of him who hears 8085 the words 561 of God 410, Who 834 sees 2372 the vision 4236 of the Almighty 7706, Falling 5307 down 5307, yet having his eyes 5869 uncovered 1540,
5 How 4100 fair 2895 are your tents 168, O Jacob 3290, Your dwellings 4908, O Israel 3478!
6 "Like valleys 5158 that stretch 5186 out, Like gardens 1593 beside 5921 the river 5104, Like aloes 174 planted 5193 by the LORD 3068, Like cedars 730 beside 5921 the waters 4325.
7 "Water 4325 will flow 5140 from his buckets 1805, And his seed 2233 {will be} by many 7227 waters 4325, And his king 4428 shall be higher 7311 than 4480 Agag 90, And his kingdom 4438 shall be exalted 5375.
8 "God 410 brings 3318 him out of Egypt 4714, He is for him like the horns 8443 of the wild 7214 ox 7214. He will devour 398 the nations 1471 {who are} his adversaries 6862, And will crush 1633 their bones 6106 in pieces, And shatter 4272 {them} with his arrows 2671.
9 "He couches 3766, he lies 7901 down 7901 as a lion 738, And as a lion 3833, who 4310 dares rouse 6965 him? Blessed 1288 is everyone who blesses 1288 you, And cursed 779 is everyone who curses 779 you."
10 ¶ Then Balak's 1111 anger 639 burned 2734 against 413 Balaam 1109, and he struck 5606 his hands 3709 together 5606; and Balak 1111 said 559 to Balaam 1109, "I called 7121 you to curse 6895 my enemies 340, but behold 2009, you have persisted 1288 in blessing 1288 them these 2088 three 7969 times 6471!
11 "Therefore, flee 1272 to your place 4725 now 6258. I said 559 I would honor 3513 you greatly 3513, but behold 2009, the LORD 3068 has held 4513 you back 4513 from honor 3519."
12 Balaam 1109 said 559 to Balak 1111, "Did I not tell 1696 your messengers 4397 whom 834 you had sent 7971 to me, saying 559,
13 'Though 518 Balak 1111 were to give 5414 me his house 1004 full 4393 of silver 3701 and gold 2091, I could 3201 not do 6213 anything contrary 5674 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, either good 2899 or 176 bad 7451, of my own accord 3820. What 834 the LORD 3068 speaks 1696, that I will speak 1696'?
14 "And now 6258, behold 2009, I am going 1980 to my people 5971; come 1980, {and} I will advise 3289 you what 834 this 2088 people 5971 will do 6213 to your people 5971 in the days 3117 to come 319."
15 ¶ He took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "The oracle 5002 of Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160, And the oracle 5002 of the man 1397 whose eye 5869 is opened 8365,
16 The oracle 5002 of him who hears 8085 the words 561 of God 410, And knows 3045 the knowledge 1847 of the Most 5945 High 5945, Who sees 2372 the vision 4236 of the Almighty 7706, Falling 5307 down 5307, yet having his eyes 5869 uncovered 1540.
17 "I see 7200 him, but not now 6258; I behold 7789 him, but not near 7138; A star 3556 shall come 1869 forth from Jacob 3290, A scepter 7626 shall rise 6965 from Israel 3478, And shall crush 4272 through 4272 the forehead 6285 of Moab 4124, And tear 7175 down 7175 all 3605 the sons 1121 of Sheth 8352.
18 "Edom 112 shall be a possession 3423, Seir 8165, its enemies 340, also will be a possession 3423, While Israel 3478 performs 6213 valiantly 2428.
19 "One from Jacob 3290 shall have 7287 dominion 7287, And will destroy 6 the remnant 8300 from the city 5892."
20 ¶ And he looked 7200 at Amalek 6002 and took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "Amalek 6002 was the first 7225 of the nations 1471, But his end 319 {shall be} destruction 8."
21 ¶ And he looked 7200 at the Kenite 7017, and took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "Your dwelling 4186 place 4186 is enduring 386, And your nest 7064 is set 7760 in the cliff 5553.
22 "Nevertheless Kain 7014 will be consumed 1197; How 4100 long 5704 will Asshur 804 keep 7617 you captive 7628?"
23 ¶ Then he took 5375 up his discourse 4912 and said 559, "Alas 188, who 4310 can live 2421 except God 410 has ordained 7760 it?
24 "But ships 6716 {shall come} from the coast 3027 of Kittim 3794, And they shall afflict 6031 Asshur 804 and will afflict 6031 Eber 5677; So they also 1571 {will come} to destruction 8."
25 ¶ Then Balaam 1109 arose 6965 and departed 1980 and returned 7725 to his place 4725, and Balak 1111 also 1571 went 1980 his way 1870.

The Sin of Peor

While Israel 3478 remained 3427 at Shittim 7851, the people 5971 began 2490 to play 2181 the harlot 2181 with the daughters 1323 of Moab 4124.
2 For they invited 7121 the people 5971 to the sacrifices 2077 of their gods 430, and the people 5971 ate 398 and bowed 7812 down 7812 to their gods 430.
3 So Israel 3478 joined 6775 themselves to Baal 1187 of Peor 1187, and the LORD 3068 was angry against Israel 3478.
4 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Take 3947 all 3605 the leaders 7218 of the people 5971 and execute 3363 them in broad 5048 daylight 8121 before the LORD 3068, so that the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068 may turn 7725 away 7725 from Israel 3478."
5 So Moses 4872 said 559 to the judges 8199 of Israel 3478, "Each 376 of you slay 2026 his men 376 who have joined 6775 themselves to Baal 1187 of Peor 1187."
6 ¶ Then behold 2009, one 376 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 and brought 7126 to his relatives 251 a Midianite 4084 woman 4084, in the sight 5869 of Moses 4872 and in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, while they were weeping 1058 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
7 When Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, saw 7200 it, he arose 6965 from the midst 8432 of the congregation 5712 and took 3947 a spear 7420 in his hand 3027,
8 and he went 935 after 310 the man 376 of Israel 3478 into the tent 6898 and pierced 1856 both 8147 of them through 1856, the man 376 of Israel 3478 and the woman 802, through 413 the body 6896. So the plague 4046 on the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 was checked 6113.
9 Those who died 4191 by the plague 4046 were 24,000.
10

The Zeal of Phinehas

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
11 "Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, has turned 7725 away 7725 My wrath 2534 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in that he was jealous 7065 with My jealousy 7068 among 8432 them, so that I did not destroy 3615 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in My jealousy 7068.
12 "Therefore 3651 say 559, 'Behold 2009, I give 5414 him My covenant 1285 of peace 7965;
13 and it shall be for him and his descendants 2233 after 310 him, a covenant 1285 of a perpetual 5769 priesthood 3550, because he was jealous 7065 for his God 430 and made 3722 atonement 3722 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.'"
14 ¶ Now the name 8034 of the slain 5221 man 376 of Israel 3478 who 834 was slain 5221 with the Midianite 4084 woman 4084, was Zimri 2174 the son 1121 of Salu 5543, a leader 5387 of a father's 1 household 1004 among the Simeonites 8099.
15 The name 8034 of the Midianite 4084 woman 802 who was slain 5221 was Cozbi 3579 the daughter 1323 of Zur 6698, who 1931 was head 7218 of the people 523 of a father's 1 household 1004 in Midian 4080.
16 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
17 "Be hostile 6887 to the Midianites 4084 and strike 5221 them;
18 for they have been 6887 hostile 6887 to you with their tricks 5231, with which 834 they have deceived 5230 you in the affair 1697 of Peor 6465 and in the affair 1697 of Cozbi 3579, the daughter 1323 of the leader 5387 of Midian 4080, their sister 269 who was slain 5221 on the day 3117 of the plague 4046 because of Peor 6465."

Census of a New Generation

Then it came 1961 about after 310 the plague 4046, that the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872 and to Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, saying 559,
2 "Take 5375 a census 7218 of all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, by their fathers' 1 households 1004, whoever 3605 is able to go 3318 out to war 6635 in Israel 3478."
3 So Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 spoke 1696 with them in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by the Jordan 3383 at Jericho 3405, saying 559,
4 "{Take a census of the people} from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, as the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 Moses 4872."

10 and the earth 776 opened 6605 its mouth 6310 and swallowed 1104 them up along with Korah 7141, when that company 5712 died 4194, when the fire 784 devoured 398 250 men 376, so that they became 1961 a warning 5251.

55 "But the land 776 shall be divided 2505 by lot 1486. They shall receive 5157 their inheritance 5157 according to the names 8034 of the tribes 4294 of their fathers 1.
56 "According to the selection by lot 1486, their inheritance 5159 shall be divided 2505 between 996 the larger 7227 and the smaller 4592 {groups.}"

60 To Aaron 175 were born 3205 Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30, Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385.
61 But Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30 died 4191 when they offered 7126 strange 2114 fire 784 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
62 Those who were numbered 6485 of them were 23,000, every 3605 male 2145 from a month 2320 old 1121 and upward 4605, for they were not numbered 6485 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 since 3588 no 3808 inheritance 5159 was given 5414 to them among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
63 ¶ These 428 are those who were numbered 6485 by Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, who 834 numbered 6485 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by the Jordan 3383 at Jericho 3405.
64 But among these 428 there was not a man 376 of those who were numbered 6485 by Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 the priest 3548, who 834 numbered 6485 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514.
65 For the LORD 3068 had said 559 of them, "They shall surely 4191 die 4191 in the wilderness 4057." And not a man 376 was left 3498 of them, except Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.

Chapter 27

A Law of Inheritance

Then the daughters 1323 of Zelophehad 6765, the son 1121 of Hepher 2660, the son 1121 of Gilead 1568, the son 1121 of Machir 4353, the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519, of the families 4940 of Manasseh 4519 the son 1121 of Joseph 3130, came 7126 near 7126; and these 428 are the names 8034 of his daughters 1323: Mahlah 4244, Noah 5270 and Hoglah 2295 and Milcah 4435 and Tirzah 8656.
2 They stood 5975 before 6440 Moses 4872 and before 6440 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and before 6440 the leaders 5387 and all 3605 the congregation 5712, at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, saying 559,
3 "Our father 1 died 4191 in the wilderness 4057, yet he was not among 8432 the company 5712 of those who gathered 3259 themselves together against 5921 the LORD 3068 in the company 5712 of Korah 7141; but he died 4191 in his own sin 2399, and he had 1961 no 3808 sons 1121.
4 "Why 4100 should the name 8034 of our father 1 be withdrawn 1639 from among 8432 his family 4940 because 3588 he had 369 no 369 son 1121? Give 5414 us a possession 272 among 8432 our father's 1 brothers 251."
5 So Moses 4872 brought 7126 their case 4941 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
6 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
7 "The daughters 1323 of Zelophehad 6765 are right 3653 in {their} statements 1696. You shall surely 5414 give 5414 them a hereditary 5159 possession 272 among 8432 their father's 1 brothers 251, and you shall transfer 5674 the inheritance 5159 of their father 1 to them.
8 "Further, you shall speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'If 3588 a man 376 dies 4191 and has 369 no 369 son 1121, then you shall transfer 5674 his inheritance 5159 to his daughter 1323.
9 'If 518 he has 369 no 369 daughter 1323, then you shall give 5414 his inheritance 5159 to his brothers 251.
10 'If 518 he has 369 no 369 brothers 251, then you shall give 5414 his inheritance 5159 to his father's 1 brothers 251.
11 'If 518 his father 1 has 369 no 369 brothers 251, then you shall give 5414 his inheritance 5159 to his nearest 7138 relative 7607 in his own family 4940, and he shall possess 3423 it; and it shall be a statutory 2708 ordinance 4941 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872.'"
12 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 5927 up to this 2088 mountain 2022 of Abarim 5682, and see 7200 the land 776 which 834 I have given 5414 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
13 "When you have seen 7200 it, you too 1571 will be gathered 622 to your people 5971, as Aaron 175 your brother 251 was;
14 for in the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790, during the strife 4808 of the congregation 5712, you rebelled 4784 against 854 My command 6310 to treat 6942 Me as holy 6942 before 6440 their eyes 5869 at the water 4325." (These 1992 are the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809 of Kadesh 6946 in the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790.)
15

Joshua to Succeed Moses

¶ Then Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the LORD 3068, saying 559,
16 "May the LORD 3068, the God 430 of the spirits 7307 of all 3605 flesh 1320, appoint 6485 a man 376 over 5921 the congregation 5712,
17 who 834 will go 3318 out and come 935 in before 6440 them, and who 834 will lead 3318 them out and bring 935 them in, so that the congregation 5712 of the LORD 3068 will not be like sheep 6629 which 834 have 369 no 369 shepherd 7462."
18 So the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Take 3947 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, a man 376 in whom 834 is the Spirit 7307, and lay 5564 your hand 3027 on him;
19 and have him stand 5975 before 6440 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and before 6440 all 3605 the congregation 5712, and commission 6680 him in their sight 5869.
20 "You shall put 5414 some 4480 of your authority 1935 on him, in order 4616 that all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 may obey 8085 {him.}
21 "Moreover, he shall stand 5975 before 6440 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, who shall inquire 7592 for him by the judgment 4941 of the Urim 224 before 6440 the LORD 3068. At his command 6310 they shall go 3318 out and at his command 6310 they shall come 935 in, {both} he and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 with him, even all 3605 the congregation 5712."
22 Moses 4872 did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 him; and he took 3947 Joshua 3091 and set 5975 him before 6440 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and before 6440 all 3605 the congregation 5712.
23 Then he laid 5564 his hands 3027 on him and commissioned 6680 him, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 through 3027 Moses 4872.

Laws for Offerings

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Command 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'You shall be careful 8104 to present 7126 My offering 7133, My food 3899 for My offerings 801 by fire 801, of a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to Me, at their appointed 4150 time 4150.'
3 "You shall say 559 to them, 'This 2088 is the offering 801 by fire 801 which 834 you shall offer 7126 to the LORD 3068: two 8147 male 3532 lambs 3532 one year 8141 old 1121 without 8549 defect 8549 {as} a continual 8548 burnt 5930 offering 5930 every day 3117.
4 'You shall offer 6213 the one 259 lamb 3532 in the morning 1242 and the other 8145 lamb 3532 you shall offer 6213 at twilight 6153;

6 'It is a continual 8548 burnt 5930 offering 5930 which was ordained 6213 in Mount 2022 Sinai 5514 as a soothing 5207 aroma 7381, an offering 801 by fire 801 to the LORD 3068.
7 'Then the drink 5262 offering 5262 with it {shall be} a fourth 7243 of a hin 1969 for each 259 lamb 3532, in the holy 6944 place you shall pour 5258 out a drink 5262 offering 5262 of strong 7941 drink 7941 to the LORD 3068.
8 'The other 8145 lamb 3532 you shall offer 6213 at twilight 6153; as the grain offering 4503 of the morning 1242 and as its drink 5262 offering 5262, you shall offer 6213 it, an offering 801 by fire 801, a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to the LORD 3068.
9 ¶ 'Then on the sabbath 7676 day 3117 two 8147 male 3532 lambs 3532 one year 8141 old 1121 without 8549 defect 8549, and two-tenths {of an} {ephah} of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with oil 8081 as a grain offering 4503, and its drink 5262 offering 5262:

Chapter 30


1

The Law of Vows

Then Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the heads 7218 of the tribes 4294 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, "This 2088 is the word 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680.
2 "If 3588 a man 376 makes 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068, or 176 takes 7650 an oath 7621 to bind 631 himself 5315 with a binding 632 obligation 632, he shall not violate 2490 his word 1697; he shall do 6213 according to all 3605 that proceeds 3318 out of his mouth 6310.
3 ¶ "Also if 3588 a woman 802 makes 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068, and binds 631 herself by an obligation 632 in her father's 1 house 1004 in her youth 5271,
4 and her father 1 hears 8085 her vow 5088 and her obligation 632 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315, and her father 1 says 2790 nothing 2790 to her, then all 3605 her vows 5088 shall stand 6965 and every 3605 obligation 632 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315 shall stand 6965.
5 "But if 518 her father 1 should forbid 5106 her on the day 3117 he hears 8085 {of it,} none of her vows 5088 or her obligations 632 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315 shall stand 6965; and the LORD 3068 will forgive 5545 her because 3588 her father 1 had forbidden 5106 her.
6 ¶ "However, if 518 she should marry while under 5921 her vows 5088 or 176 the rash 4008 statement 4008 of her lips 8193 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315,
7 and her husband 376 hears 8085 of it and says 2790 nothing 2790 to her on the day 3117 he hears 8085 {it,} then her vows 5088 shall stand 6965 and her obligations 632 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315 shall stand 6965.
8 "But if 518 on the day 3117 her husband 376 hears 8085 {of it,} he forbids 5106 her, then he shall annul 6565 her vow 5088 which 834 she is under 5921 and the rash 4008 statement 4008 of her lips 8193 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315; and the LORD 3068 will forgive 5545 her.
9 ¶ "But the vow 5088 of a widow 490 or of a divorced 1644 woman, everything 3605 by which 834 she has bound 631 herself 5315, shall stand 6965 against 5921 her.
10 "However, if 518 she vowed 5087 in her husband's 376 house 1004, or 176 bound 631 herself 5315 by an obligation 632 with an oath 7621,
11 and her husband 376 heard 8085 {it,} but said 2790 nothing 2790 to her {and} did not forbid 5106 her, then all 3605 her vows 5088 shall stand 6965 and every 3605 obligation 632 by which 834 she bound 631 herself 5315 shall stand 6965.
12 "But if 518 her husband 376 indeed 6565 annuls 6565 them on the day 3117 he hears 8085 {them,} then whatever 3605 proceeds 4161 out of her lips 8193 concerning her vows 5088 or concerning the obligation 632 of herself 5315 shall not stand 6965; her husband 376 has annulled 6565 them, and the LORD 3068 will forgive 5545 her.
13 ¶ "Every 3605 vow 5088 and every 3605 binding 632 oath 7621 to humble 6031 herself 5315, her husband 376 may confirm 6965 it or her husband 376 may annul 6565 it.
14 "But if 518 her husband 376 indeed 2790 says 2790 nothing 2790 to her from day 3117 to day 3117, then he confirms 6965 all 3605 her vows 5088 or 176 all 3605 her obligations 632 which 834 are on her; he has confirmed 6965 them, because 3588 he said 2790 nothing 2790 to her on the day 3117 he heard 8085 them.
15 "But if 518 he indeed 6565 annuls 6565 them after 310 he has heard 8085 them, then he shall bear 5375 her guilt 5771."
16 ¶ These 428 are the statutes 2706 which 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872, {as} between 996 a man 376 and his wife 802, {and as} between 996 a father 1 and his daughter 1323, {while she is} in her youth 5271 in her father's 1 house 1004.

Chapter 31

The Slaughter of Midian

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Take 5358 full 5360 vengeance 5360 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 on the Midianites 4084; afterward 310 you will be gathered 622 to your people 5971."
3 Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to the people 5971, saying 559, "Arm 2502 men 376 from among 854 you for the war 6635, that they may go 1961 against 5921 Midian 4080 to execute 5414 the LORD'S 3068 vengeance 5360 on Midian 4080.
4 "A thousand 505 from each tribe 4294 of all 3605 the tribes 4294 of Israel 3478 you shall send 7971 to the war 6635."
5 So there were furnished 4560 from the thousands 505 of Israel 3478, a thousand 505 from each tribe 4294, twelve thousand 505 armed 2502 for war 6635.
6 Moses 4872 sent 7971 them, a thousand 505 from each tribe 4294, to the war 6635, and Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, to the war 6635 with them, and the holy 6944 vessels 3627 and the trumpets 2689 for the alarm 8643 in his hand 3027.
7 So they made 6633 war 6633 against 5921 Midian 4080, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, and they killed 2026 every 3605 male 2145.
8 They killed 2026 the kings 4428 of Midian 4080 along 5921 with the {rest of} their slain 2491: Evi 189 and Rekem 7552 and Zur 6698 and Hur 2354 and Reba 7254, the five 2568 kings 4428 of Midian 4080; they also killed 2026 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 with the sword 2719.
9 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 captured 7617 the women 802 of Midian 4080 and their little 2945 ones 2945; and all 3605 their cattle 929 and all 3605 their flocks 4735 and all 3605 their goods 2428 they plundered 962.
10 Then they burned 8313 all 3605 their cities 5892 where 4186 they lived 4186 and all 3605 their camps 2918 with fire 784.
11 They took 3947 all 3605 the spoil 7998 and all 3605 the prey 4455, both of man 120 and of beast 929.
12 They brought 935 the captives 7628 and the prey 4455 and the spoil 7998 to Moses 4872, and to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and to the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to the camp 4264 at the plains 6160 of Moab 4124, which 834 are by the Jordan 3383 {opposite} Jericho 3405.
13 ¶ Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and all 3605 the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 went 3318 out to meet 7122 them outside the camp 4264.
14 Moses 4872 was angry 7107 with the officers 6485 of the army 2428, the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967, who had come 935 from service 6635 in the war 4421.
15 And Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "Have you spared 2421 all 3605 the women 5347?
16 "Behold 2005, these 2007 caused 1961 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, through the counsel 1697 of Balaam 1109, to trespass against the LORD 3068 in the matter 1697 of Peor 6465, so the plague 4046 was among the congregation 5712 of the LORD 3068.
17 "Now 6258 therefore, kill 2026 every 3605 male 2145 among the little 2945 ones 2945, and kill 2026 every 3605 woman 802 who has known 3045 man 376 intimately.
18 "But all 3605 the girls who 834 have not known 3045 man 2145 intimately, spare 2421 for yourselves.
19 "And you, camp 2583 outside the camp 4264 seven 7651 days 3117; whoever 3605 has killed 2026 any person 5315 and whoever 3605 has touched 5060 any slain 2491, purify 2398 yourselves, you and your captives 7628, on the third 7992 day 3117 and on the seventh 7637 day 3117.
20 "You shall purify 2398 for yourselves every 3605 garment 899 and every 3605 article 3627 of leather 5785 and all 3605 the work 4639 of goats' 5795 {hair,} and all 3605 articles 3627 of wood 6086."
21 ¶ Then Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 said 559 to the men 376 of war 6635 who had gone 935 to battle 4421, "This 2088 is the statute 2708 of the law 8451 which 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 Moses 4872:
22 only 389 the gold 2091 and the silver 3701, the bronze 5178, the iron 1270, the tin 913 and the lead 5777,
23 everything 3605 that can stand 935 the fire 784, you shall pass 5674 through 5674 the fire 784, and it shall be clean 2891, but it shall be purified 2398 with water 4325 for impurity 5079. But whatever cannot 3808 stand 935 the fire 784 you shall pass 5674 through 5674 the water 4325.
24 "And you shall wash 3526 your clothes 899 on the seventh 7637 day 3117 and be clean 2891, and afterward 310 you may enter 935 the camp 4264."
25

Division of the Booty

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
26 "You and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the congregation 5712 take 5375 a count 7218 of the booty 4455 that was captured 7628, both of man 120 and of animal 929;
27 and divide 2673 the booty 4455 between 996 the warriors 4421 who went 3318 out to battle 4421 and all 3605 the congregation 5712.
28 "Levy 7311 a tax 4371 for the LORD 3068 from the men 376 of war 4421 who went 3318 out to battle 4421, one 259 in five 2568 hundred 3967 of the persons 120 and of the cattle 1241 and of the donkeys 2543 and of the sheep 6629;
29 take 3947 it from their half 4276 and give 5414 it to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, as an offering 8641 to the LORD 3068.
30 "From the sons 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, you shall take 3947 one 259 drawn 270 out of every fifty 2572 of the persons 120, of the cattle 1241, of the donkeys 2543 and of the sheep 6629, from all 3605 the animals 929, and give 5414 them to the Levites 3881 who keep 8104 charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068."
31 Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
32 ¶ Now the booty 4455 that remained from the spoil 957 which 834 the men 5971 of war 6635 had plundered 962 was 675,000 sheep 6629,
33 and 72,000 cattle 1241,
34 and 61,000 donkeys 2543,
35 and of human 120 beings 5315, of the women 802 who 834 had not known 3045 man 2145 intimately, all 3605 the persons 5315 were 32,000.
36 ¶ The half 4275, the portion 2506 of those who went 3318 out to war 6635, was {as follows:} the number 4557 of sheep 6629 was 337,500,
37 and the LORD'S 3068 levy 4371 of the sheep 6629 was 675;
38 and the cattle 1241 were 36,000, from which the LORD'S 3068 levy 4371 was 72;
39 and the donkeys 2543 were 30,500, from which the LORD'S 3068 levy 4371 was 61;
40 and the human 120 beings 5315 were 16,000, from whom the LORD'S 3068 levy 4371 was 32 persons 5315.
41 Moses 4872 gave 5414 the levy 4371 {which was} the LORD'S 3068 offering 8641 to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
42 ¶ As for the sons 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, which 834 Moses 4872 separated 2673 from the men 376 who had gone 6633 to war 6633--
43 now the congregation's 5712 half 4275 was 337,500 sheep 6629,
44 and 36,000 cattle 1241,
45 and 30,500 donkeys 2543,
46 and the human 120 beings 5315 were 16,000--
47 and from the sons 1121 of Israel's 3478 half 4276, Moses 4872 took 3947 one 259 drawn 270 out of every fifty 2572, both 4480 of man 120 and of animals 929, and gave 5414 them to the Levites 3881, who kept 8104 charge 4931 of the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
48 ¶ Then the officers 6485 who 834 were over the thousands 505 of the army 6635, the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967, approached 7126 Moses 4872,
49 and they said 559 to Moses 4872, "Your servants 5650 have taken 5375 a census 7218 of men 376 of war 4421 who 834 are in our charge 3027, and no 3808 man 376 of us is missing 6485.
50 "So we have brought 7126 as an offering 7133 to the LORD 3068 what 834 each 376 man 376 found 4672, articles 3627 of gold 2091, armlets 685 and bracelets 6781, signet 2885 rings 2885, earrings 5694 and necklaces 3558, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for ourselves 5315 before 6440 the LORD 3068."
51 Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 took 3947 the gold 2091 from them, all 3605 kinds of wrought 4639 articles 3627.
52 All 3605 the gold 2091 of the offering 8641 which 834 they offered 7311 up to the LORD 3068, from the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967, was 16,750 shekels 8255.
53 The men 376 of war 6635 had taken 962 booty 962, every 376 man 376 for himself.
54 So Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 took 3947 the gold 2091 from the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, and brought 935 it to the tent 168 of meeting 4150 as a memorial 2146 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 before 6440 the LORD 3068.

Chapter 32

Reuben and Gad Settle in Gilead

Now the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 had 1961 an exceedingly 3966 large 6099 number 6099 of livestock 4735. So when they saw 7200 the land 776 of Jazer 3270 and the land 776 of Gilead 1568, that it was indeed 2009 a place 4725 suitable 4725 for livestock 4735,
2 the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 came 935 and spoke 559 to Moses 4872 and to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and to the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712, saying 559,
3 "Ataroth 5852, Dibon 1769, Jazer 3270, Nimrah 5247, Heshbon 2809, Elealeh 500, Sebam 7643, Nebo 5015 and Beon 1194,
4 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 conquered 5221 before 6440 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, is a land 776 for livestock 4735, and your servants 5650 have livestock 4735."
5 They said 559, "If 518 we have found 4672 favor 2580 in your sight 5869, let this 2088 land 776 be given 5414 to your servants 5650 as a possession 272; do not take 5674 us across 5674 the Jordan 3383."
6 ¶ But Moses 4872 said 559 to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, "Shall your brothers 251 go 935 to war 4421 while you yourselves 864 sit 3427 here 6311?
7 "Now why 4100 are you discouraging the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from crossing 5674 over 5674 into the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 them?
8 "This 3541 is what 3541 your fathers 1 did 6213 when I sent 7971 them from Kadesh-barnea 6947 to see 7200 the land 776.
9 "For when they went 5927 up to the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812 and saw 7200 the land 776, they discouraged the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 so that they did not go 935 into the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 had given 5414 them.
10 "So the LORD'S 3068 anger 639 burned 2734 in that day 3117, and He swore 7650, saying 559,
11 'None 518 of the men 376 who came 5927 up from Egypt 4714, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, shall see 7200 the land 127 which 834 I swore 7650 to Abraham 85, to Isaac 3327 and to Jacob 3290; for they did not follow 310 Me fully 4390,
12 except 1115 Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 the Kenizzite 7074 and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, for they have followed 310 the LORD 3068 fully 4390.'
13 "So the LORD'S 3068 anger 639 burned 2734 against Israel 3478, and He made them wander 5128 in the wilderness 4057 forty 705 years 8141, until 5704 the entire 3605 generation 1755 of those who had done 6213 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 was destroyed 8552.
14 "Now behold 2009, you have risen 6965 up in your fathers' 1 place 8478, a brood 8635 of sinful 2400 men 376, to add 5595 still 5750 more 5750 to the burning 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068 against 413 Israel 3478.
15 "For if you turn 7725 away 7725 from following 310 Him, He will once more abandon 5117 them in the wilderness 4057, and you will destroy 7843 all 3605 these 2088 people 5971."
16 ¶ Then they came 5066 near 5066 to him and said 559, "We will build 1129 here 6311 sheepfolds for our livestock 4735 and cities 5892 for our little 2945 ones 2945;
17 but we ourselves 587 will be armed 2502 ready 2363 {to go} before 6440 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, until we have brought 935 them to their place 4725, while our little 2945 ones 2945 live 3427 in the fortified 4013 cities 5892 because of the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776.
18 "We will not return 7725 to our homes 1004 until 5704 every 376 one 376 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 has possessed 5157 his inheritance 5159.
19 "For we will not have 5157 an inheritance 5157 with them on the other 5676 side 5676 of the Jordan 3383 and beyond 1973, because 3588 our inheritance 5159 has fallen 935 to us on this side 5676 of the Jordan 3383 toward the east 4217."
20 ¶ So Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "If 518 you will do 6213 this 2088, if 518 you will arm 2502 yourselves before 6440 the LORD 3068 for the war 4421,
21 and all 3605 of you armed 2502 men cross 5674 over 5674 the Jordan 3383 before 6440 the LORD 3068 until 5704 He has driven 3423 His enemies 340 out from before 6440 Him,
22 and the land 776 is subdued 3533 before 6440 the LORD 3068, then afterward 310 you shall return 7725 and be free 5355 of obligation 5355 toward 4480 the LORD 3068 and toward 4480 Israel 3478, and this 2088 land 776 shall be yours for a possession 272 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
23 "But if 518 you will not do 6213 so 3651, behold 2009, you have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068, and be sure 3045 your sin 2403 will find 4672 you out.
24 "Build 1129 yourselves cities 5892 for your little 2945 ones 2945, and sheepfolds 1448 for your sheep 6792, and do 6213 what you have promised."
25 ¶ The sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559, "Your servants 5650 will do 6213 just 3512 as my lord 113 commands 6680.
26 "Our little 2945 ones 2945, our wives 802, our livestock 4735 and all 3605 our cattle 929 shall remain 1961 there 8033 in the cities 5892 of Gilead 1568;
27 while your servants 5650, everyone 3605 who is armed 2502 for war 6635, will cross 5674 over 5674 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 to battle 4421, just 3512 as my lord 113 says 1696."
28 ¶ So Moses 4872 gave 6680 command 6680 concerning them to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and to Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and to the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the tribes 4294 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
29 Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "If 518 the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, everyone 3605 who is armed 2502 for battle 4421, will cross 5674 with you over 5674 the Jordan 3383 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, and the land 776 is subdued 3533 before 6440 you, then you shall give 5414 them the land 776 of Gilead 1568 for a possession 272;
30 but if 518 they will not cross 5674 over 5674 with you armed 2502, they shall have 270 possessions 270 among 8432 you in the land 776 of Canaan 3667."
31 The sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 answered 6030, saying 559, "As the LORD 3068 has said 1696 to your servants 5650, so 3651 we will do 6213.
32 "We ourselves 5168 will cross 5674 over 5674 armed 2502 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 into the land 776 of Canaan 3667, and the possession 272 of our inheritance 5159 {shall remain} with us across the Jordan 3383."
33 ¶ So Moses 4872 gave 5414 to them, to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and to the half-tribe of Joseph's 3130 son 1121 Manasseh 4519, the kingdom 4467 of Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567 and the kingdom 4467 of Og 5747, the king 4428 of Bashan 1316, the land 776 with its cities 5892 with {their} territories 1367, the cities 5892 of the surrounding 5439 land 776.
34 The sons 1121 of Gad 1410 built 1129 Dibon 1769 and Ataroth 5852 and Aroer 6177,
35 and Atroth-shophan 5855 and Jazer 3270 and Jogbehah 3011,
36 and Beth-nimrah 1039 and Beth-haran 1027 as fortified 4013 cities 5892, and sheepfolds 1448 for sheep 6629.
37 The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 built 1129 Heshbon 2809 and Elealeh 500 and Kiriathaim 7156,
38 and Nebo 5015 and Baal-meon 1186--{their} names 8034 being changed 5437--and Sibmah 7643, and they gave 7121 {other} names 8034 to the cities 5892 which 834 they built 1129.
39 The sons 1121 of Machir 4353 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519 went 1980 to Gilead 1568 and took 3920 it, and dispossessed 3423 the Amorites 567 who 834 were in it.
40 So Moses 4872 gave 5414 Gilead 1568 to Machir 4353 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519, and he lived 3427 in it.
41 Jair 2971 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519 went 1980 and took 3920 its towns 2333, and called 7121 them Havvoth-jair 2334.

Law of Possessing the Land

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by the Jordan 3383 {opposite} Jericho 3405, saying 559,
51 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 you cross 5674 over 5674 the Jordan 3383 into the land 776 of Canaan 3667,
52 then you shall drive 3423 out all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 from before 6440 you, and destroy 6 all 3605 their figured 4906 stones 4906, and destroy 6 all 3605 their molten 4541 images 4541 and demolish 8045 all 3605 their high 1116 places 1116;
53 and you shall take 3423 possession 3423 of the land 776 and live 3427 in it, for I have given 5414 the land 776 to you to possess 3423 it.
54 'You shall inherit 5157 the land 776 by lot 1486 according to your families 4940; to the larger 7227 you shall give 7235 more 7235 inheritance 5159, and to the smaller 4592 you shall give 4591 less 4591 inheritance 5159. Wherever the lot 1486 falls 3318 to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit 5157 according to the tribes 4294 of your fathers 1.
55 'But if 518 you do not drive 3423 out the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 from before 6440 you, then it shall come 1961 about that those whom 834 you let 3498 remain 3498 of them {will become} as pricks 7899 in your eyes 5869 and as thorns 6796 in your sides 6654, and they will trouble 6887 you in the land 776 in which 834 you live 3427.
56 'And as I plan 1819 to do 6213 to them, so I will do 6213 to you.'"

Instruction for Apportioning Canaan

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Command 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 you enter 935 the land 776 of Canaan 3667, this 2088 is the land 776 that shall fall 5307 to you as an inheritance 5159, {even the} land 776 of Canaan 3667 according to its borders 1367.
3 'Your southern 5045 sector 6285 shall extend 1961 from the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790 along 5921 the side 3027 of Edom 112, and your southern 5045 border 1366 shall extend 1961 from the end 7097 of the Salt 4417 Sea 3220 eastward 6924.
4 'Then your border 1366 shall turn 5437 {direction} from the south 5045 to the ascent 4610 of Akrabbim 4610 and continue 5674 to Zin 6790, and its termination 8444 shall be to the south 5045 of Kadesh-barnea 6947; and it shall reach 3318 Hazaraddar 2692 and continue 5674 to Azmon 6111.
5 'The border 1366 shall turn 5437 {direction} from Azmon 6111 to the brook 5158 of Egypt 4714, and its termination 8444 shall be at the sea 3220.
6 ¶ 'As for the western 3220 border 1366, you shall have 1961 the Great 1419 Sea 3220, that is, {its} coastline 1366; this 2088 shall be your west 3220 border 1366.
7 ¶ 'And this 2088 shall be your north 6828 border 1366: you shall draw 8376 your {border} line 8376 from the Great 1419 Sea 3220 to Mount 2022 Hor 2023.
8 'You shall draw 8376 a line 8376 from Mount 2022 Hor 2023 to the Lebo-hamath 935, and the termination 8444 of the border 1366 shall be at Zedad 6657;
9 and the border 1366 shall proceed 3318 to Ziphron 2202, and its termination 8444 shall be at Hazar-enan 2704. This 2088 shall be your north 6828 border 1366.
10 ¶ 'For your eastern 6924 border 1366 you shall also draw 184 a line 1366 from Hazar-enan 2704 to Shepham 8221,
11 and the border 1366 shall go 3381 down 3381 from Shepham 8221 to Riblah 7247 on the east 6924 side 6924 of Ain 5871; and the border 1366 shall go 3381 down 3381 and reach 4229 to the slope 3802 on the east 6924 side 6924 of the Sea 3220 of Chinnereth 3672.
12 'And the border 1366 shall go 3381 down 3381 to the Jordan 3383 and its termination 8444 shall be at the Salt 4417 Sea 3220. This 2088 shall be your land 776 according to its borders 1367 all 5439 around 5439.'"
13 ¶ So Moses 4872 commanded 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, "This 2088 is the land 776 that you are to apportion 5157 by lot 1486 among you as a possession 5157, which 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 to give 5414 to the nine 8672 and a half 2677 tribes 4294.
14 "For the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7206 have received 3947 {theirs} according to their fathers' 1 households 1004, and the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 according to their fathers' 1 households 1004, and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 have received 3947 their possession 5159.
15 "The two 8147 and a half 2677 tribes 4294 have received 3947 their possession 5159 across the Jordan 3383 opposite Jericho 3405, eastward 6924 toward the sunrising 4217."
16 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
17 "These 428 are the names 8034 of the men 376 who 834 shall apportion 5157 the land 776 to you for inheritance 5157: Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.
18 "You shall take 3947 one 259 leader 5387 of every tribe 4294 to apportion 5157 the land 776 for inheritance 5157.
19 "These 428 are the names 8034 of the men 376: of the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063, Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312.
20 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Simeon 8095, Samuel 8050 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989.
21 "Of the tribe 4294 of Benjamin 1144, Elidad 449 the son 1121 of Chislon 3692.
22 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Dan 1835 a leader 5387, Bukki 1231 the son 1121 of Jogli 3020.
23 "Of the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130: of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 a leader 5387, Hanniel 2592 the son 1121 of Ephod 641.
24 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 a leader 5387, Kemuel 7055 the son 1121 of Shiphtan 8204.
25 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Zebulun 2074 a leader 5387, Elizaphan 469 the son 1121 of Parnach 6535.
26 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Issachar 3485 a leader 5387, Paltiel 6409 the son 1121 of Azzan 5821.
27 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Asher 836 a leader 5387, Ahihud 282 the son 1121 of Shelomi 8015.
28 "Of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Naphtali 5321 a leader 5387, Pedahel 6300 the son 1121 of Ammihud 5989."
29 These 428 are those whom 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 to apportion 5157 the inheritance 5157 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in the land 776 of Canaan 3667.

Cities for the Levites

Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by the Jordan 3383 {opposite} Jericho 3405, saying 559,
2 "Command 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 that they give 5414 to the Levites 3881 from the inheritance 5159 of their possession 272 cities 5892 to live 3427 in; and you shall give 5414 to the Levites 3881 pasture 4054 lands 4054 around 5439 the cities 5892.
3 "The cities 5892 shall be theirs 1992 to live 3427 in; and their pasture 4054 lands 4054 shall be for their cattle 929 and for their herds 7399 and for all 3605 their beasts 2421.
4 ¶ "The pasture 4054 lands 4054 of the cities 5892 which 834 you shall give 5414 to the Levites 3881 {shall extend} from the wall 7023 of the city 5892 outward 2351 a thousand 505 cubits 520 around 5439.
5 "You shall also measure 4058 outside the city 5892 on the east 6924 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits 520, and on the south 5045 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits 520, and on the west 3220 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits 520, and on the north 6828 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits 520, with the city 5892 in the center 8432. This 2088 shall become 1961 theirs 1992 as pasture 4054 lands 4054 for the cities 5892.

Cities of Refuge

"The cities 5892 which 834 you shall give 5414 to the Levites 3881 {shall be} the six 8337 cities 5892 of refuge 4733, which 834 you shall give 5414 for the manslayer 7523 to flee 5127 to; and in addition 5921 to them you shall give 5414 forty-two cities 5892.
7 "All 3605 the cities 5892 which 834 you shall give 5414 to the Levites 3881 {shall be} forty-eight cities 5892, together with their pasture 4054 lands 4054.
8 "As for the cities 5892 which 834 you shall give 5414 from the possession 272 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, you shall take 7235 more 7235 from the larger 7227 and you shall take 4591 less 4591 from the smaller 4592; each 376 shall give 5414 some 4480 of his cities 5892 to the Levites 3881 in proportion 6310 to his possession 5159 which 834 he inherits 5157."
9 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
10 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'When 3588 you cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 into the land 776 of Canaan 3667,
11 then you shall select 7136 for yourselves cities 5892 to be your cities 5892 of refuge 4733, that the manslayer 7523 who has killed 5221 any person 5315 unintentionally 7684 may flee 5127 there 8033.
12 'The cities 5892 shall be to you as a refuge 4733 from the avenger 1350, so that the manslayer 7523 will not die 4191 until 5704 he stands 5975 before 6440 the congregation 5712 for trial 4941.
13 'The cities 5892 which 834 you are to give 5414 shall be your six 8337 cities 5892 of refuge 4733.
14 'You shall give 5414 three 7969 cities 5892 across the Jordan 3383 and three 7969 cities 5892 in the land 776 of Canaan 3667; they are to be cities 5892 of refuge 4733.
15 'These 428 six 8337 cities 5892 shall be for refuge 4733 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and for the alien 1616 and for the sojourner 8453 among 8432 them; that anyone 3605 who kills 5221 a person 5315 unintentionally 7684 may flee 5127 there 8033.
16 ¶ 'But if 518 he struck 5221 him down 5221 with an iron 1270 object 3627, so that he died 4191, he is a murderer 7523; the murderer 7523 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
17 'If 518 he struck 5221 him down 5221 with a stone 68 in the hand 3027, by which 834 he will die 4191, and {as a result} he died 4191, he is a murderer 7523; the murderer 7523 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
18 'Or 176 if he struck 5221 him with a wooden 6086 object 3627 in the hand 3027, by which 834 he might die 4191, and {as a result} he died 4191, he is a murderer 7523; the murderer 7523 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
19 'The blood 1818 avenger 1350 himself 1931 shall put 4191 the murderer 7523 to death 4191; he shall put 4191 him to death 4191 when he meets 6293 him.
20 'If 518 he pushed 1920 him of hatred 8135, or 176 threw 7993 something at him lying 6660 in wait 6660 and {as a result} he died 4191,
21 or 176 if he struck 5221 him down 5221 with his hand 3027 in enmity 342, and {as a result} he died 4191, the one who struck 5221 him shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191, he is a murderer 7523; the blood 1818 avenger 1350 shall put 4191 the murderer 7523 to death 4191 when he meets 6293 him.
22 ¶ 'But if 518 he pushed 1920 him suddenly 6621 without 3808 enmity 342, or 176 threw 7993 something at him without 3808 lying 6660 in wait 6660,
23 or 176 with any 3605 deadly object of stone 68, and without 3808 seeing 7200 it dropped 5307 on him so that he died 4191, while he was not his enemy 340 nor 3808 seeking 1245 his injury 7463,
24 then the congregation 5712 shall judge 8199 between 996 the slayer 5221 and the blood 1818 avenger 1350 according 5921 to these 428 ordinances 4941.
25 'The congregation 5712 shall deliver 5337 the manslayer 7523 from the hand 3027 of the blood 1818 avenger 1350, and the congregation 5712 shall restore 7725 him to his city 5892 of refuge 4733 to which 834 he fled 5127; and he shall live 3427 in it until 5704 the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest 3548 who 834 was anointed 4886 with the holy 6944 oil 8081.
26 'But if 518 the manslayer 7523 at any 3318 time 3318 goes 3318 beyond 3318 the border 1366 of his city 5892 of refuge 4733 to which 834 he may flee 5127,
27 and the blood 1818 avenger 1350 finds 4672 him outside the border 1366 of his city 5892 of refuge 4733, and the blood 1818 avenger 1350 kills 7523 the manslayer 7523, he will not be guilty of blood 1818
28 because 3588 he should have remained 3427 in his city 5892 of refuge 4733 until 5704 the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest 3548. But after 310 the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest 3548 the manslayer 7523 shall return 7725 to the land 776 of his possession 272.
29 ¶ 'These 428 things 428 shall be for a statutory 2708 ordinance 4941 to you throughout your generations 1755 in all 3605 your dwellings 4186.
30 ¶ 'If anyone 3605 kills 5221 a person 5315, the murderer 7523 shall be put 7523 to death 7523 at the evidence 6310 of witnesses 5707, but no 3808 person 5315 shall be put 4191 to death 4191 on the testimony 6030 of one 259 witness 5707.
31 'Moreover, you shall not take 3947 ransom 3724 for the life 5315 of a murderer 7523 who 834 is guilty 7563 of death 4191, but he shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
32 'You shall not take 3947 ransom 3724 for him who has fled 5127 to his city 5892 of refuge 4733, that he may return 7725 to live 3427 in the land 776 before 5704 the death 4194 of the priest 3548.
33 'So you shall not pollute 2610 the land 776 in which 834 you are; for blood 1818 pollutes 2610 the land 776 and no 3808 expiation 3722 can be made 3722 for the land 776 for the blood 1818 that is shed 8210 on it, except by the blood 1818 of him who shed 8210 it.
34 'You shall not defile 2930 the land 776 in which 834 you live 3427, in the midst 8432 of which 834 I dwell 7931; for I the LORD 3068 am dwelling 7931 in the midst 8432 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.'"

Inheritance by Marriage

And the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the family 4940 of the sons 1121 of Gilead 1568, the son 1121 of Machir 4353, the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519, of the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130, came 7126 near 7126 and spoke 1696 before 6440 Moses 4872 and before 6440 the leaders 5387, the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478,
2 and they said 559, "The LORD 3068 commanded 6680 my lord 113 to give 5414 the land 776 by lot 1486 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 as an inheritance 5159, and my lord 113 was commanded 6680 by the LORD 3068 to give 5414 the inheritance 5159 of Zelophehad 6765 our brother 251 to his daughters 1323.
3 "But if they marry one 259 of the sons 1121 of the {other} tribes 7626 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, their inheritance 5159 will be withdrawn 1639 from the inheritance 5159 of our fathers 1 and will be added 3254 to the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 to which 834 they belong 1961; thus it will be withdrawn 1639 from our allotted 1486 inheritance 5159.
4 "When 518 the jubilee 3104 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 comes 1961, then their inheritance 5159 will be added 3254 to the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 to which 834 they belong 1961; so their inheritance 5159 will be withdrawn 1639 from the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 of our fathers 1."
5 ¶ Then Moses 4872 commanded 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 according 5921 to the word 6310 of the LORD 3068, saying 559, "The tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 are right 3653 in {their} statements 1696.
6 "This 2088 is what the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 concerning the daughters 1323 of Zelophehad 6765, saying 559, 'Let them marry whom they wish; only 389 they must marry within the family 4940 of the tribe 4294 of their father 1.'
7 "Thus no 3808 inheritance 5159 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall be transferred 5437 from tribe 4294 to tribe 4294, for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall each 376 hold 1692 to the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 of his fathers 1.
8 "Every 3605 daughter 1323 who comes 3423 into possession 3423 of an inheritance 5159 of any 4480 tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall be wife 802 to one 259 of the family 4940 of the tribe 4294 of her father 1, so 4616 that the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 each 376 may possess 3423 the inheritance 5159 of his fathers 1.
9 "Thus no 3808 inheritance 5159 shall be transferred 5437 from one tribe 4294 to another 312 tribe 4294, for the tribes 4294 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall each 376 hold 1692 to his own inheritance 5159."
10 ¶ Just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 the daughters 1323 of Zelophehad 6765 did 6213:
11 Mahlah 4244, Tirzah 8656, Hoglah 2295, Milcah 4435 and Noah 5270, the daughters 1323 of Zelophehad 6765 married 802 their uncles' 1730 sons 1121.
12 They married 802 {those} from the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 the son 1121 of Joseph 3130, and their inheritance 5159 remained 1961 with the tribe 4294 of the family 4940 of their father 1.
13 ¶ These 428 are the commandments 4687 and the ordinances 4941 which 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 through 3027 Moses 4872 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by the Jordan 3383 {opposite} Jericho 3405.
