Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the

thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after



their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number



of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not

1:48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, 1:49 Only thou shalt



not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the



children of Israel: 1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the



tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over



all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all



the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp



round about the tabernacle.







1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take



it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall



set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.







1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by



his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their



hosts.







1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of



testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the



children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the



tabernacle of testimony.







1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD



commanded Moses, so did they.







2:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2:2 Every



man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with



the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of



the congregation shall they pitch.







2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of



the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and



Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of

2:5 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of

Zurishaddai.







2:13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty

and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.







2:16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred



thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty,



throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.







2:17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with



the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so



shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.







2:18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim



according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim



shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

and two thousand and two hundred.

2:23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty

the son of Ammishaddai.







2:26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were



threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.







2:27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the

2:28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty



and one thousand and five hundred.







2:29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of



Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.







2:30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty



and three thousand and four hundred.







2:31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred



thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go



hindmost with their standards.







2:32 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by



the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps



throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand



and five hundred and fifty.







2:33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel;



as the LORD commanded Moses.







2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD



commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set



forward, every one after their families, according to the house of



their fathers.







3:1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that



the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.







3:2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn,



and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.







3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were



anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.







3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered



strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had



no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office



in the sight of Aaron their father.







3:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi



near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister



unto him.







3:7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole



congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the



service of the tabernacle.







3:8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the



congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the



service of the tabernacle.







3:9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they



are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.







3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on



their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put



to death.







3:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 3:12 And I, behold, I have



taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the



firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel:



therefore the Levites shall be mine; 3:13 Because all the firstborn



are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of



Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and



beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.







3:14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,



3:15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by



their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou



number them.







3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he



was commanded.







3:17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and



Kohath, and Merari.







3:18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families;



Libni, and Shimei.







3:19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,

3:22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all



the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered



of them were seven thousand and five hundred.







3:23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle



westward.







3:24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall



be Eliasaph the son of Lael.







3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the



congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering



thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the

the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar



round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.







3:27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of



the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of



the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.







3:28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were



eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.







3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the



tabernacle southward.







3:30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the



Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.







3:31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the



candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary



wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.







3:32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the



chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the



charge of the sanctuary.







3:33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the



Mushites: these are the families of Merari.







3:34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of



all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two



hundred.







3:35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of



Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of



the tabernacle northward.







3:36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be



the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars



thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all



that serveth thereto, 3:37 And the pillars of the court round about,



and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.







3:38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even



before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses,



and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the



charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh



shall be put to death.







3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron



numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families,



all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two



thousand.







3:40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the



males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take



the number of their names.







3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of



all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the



Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children



of Israel.







3:42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn



among the children of Israel.







3:43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month



old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and



two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.







3:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 3:45 Take the Levites



instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the



cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall



be mine: I am the LORD.







3:46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and



threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel,



which are more than the Levites; 3:47 Thou shalt even take five



shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt



thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:) 3:48 And thou shalt



give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed,



unto Aaron and to his sons.







3:49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and



above them that were redeemed by the Levites: 3:50 Of the firstborn of



the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and



threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 3:51



And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to



his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded



Moses.







4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 4:2 Take the



sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their



families, by the house of their fathers, 4:3 From thirty years old and



upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do



the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.







4:4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle



of the congregation, about the most holy things: 4:5 And when the camp



setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take



down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 4:6



And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread



over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.







4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue,



and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers



to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon: 4:8 And



they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same



with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves



thereof.







4:9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of



the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all



the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it: 4:10 And



they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of



badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.







4:11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and



cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the



staves thereof: 4:12 And they shall take all the instruments of



ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a



cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and



shall put them on a bar: 4:13 And they shall take away the ashes from



the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 4:14 And they shall put



upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it,



even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all



the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of



badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.







4:15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the



sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set



forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but



they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are



the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the



congregation.







4:16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest



pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily



meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the



tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the



vessels thereof.







4:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying, 4:18 Cut ye



not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the



Levites: 4:19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die,



when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall



go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:



4:20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered,



lest they die.







4:21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 4:22 Take also the sum of



the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their



families; 4:23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old



shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to



do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.







4:24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve,



and for burdens: 4:25 And they shall bear the curtains of the



tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and



the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the



hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 4:26 And



the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of



the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about,



and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all



that is made for them: so shall they serve.







4:27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service



of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their



service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.







4:28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the



tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the



hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.







4:29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their



families, by the house of their fathers; 4:30 From thirty years old



and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one



that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of



the congregation.







4:31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their



service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the



tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets



thereof, 4:32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their



sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments,



and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the



instruments of the charge of their burden.







4:33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,



according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation,



under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.







4:34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered



the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house



of their fathers, 4:35 From thirty years old and upward even unto



fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the



work in the tabernacle of the congregation: 4:36 And those that were



numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and



fifty.







4:37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the



Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the



congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the



commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.







4:38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout



their families, and by the house of their fathers, 4:39 From thirty

entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the



congregation, 4:40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout



their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and



six hundred and thirty.







4:41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of



Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the

4:42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of



Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 4:43

congregation, 4:44 Even those that were numbered of them after their



families, were three thousand and two hundred.







4:45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of



Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the



LORD by the hand of Moses.







4:46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron



and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the



house of their fathers, 4:47 From thirty years old and upward even



unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the



ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the



congregation.







4:48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and



five hundred and fourscore, 4:49 According to the commandment of the



LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to



his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of



him, as the LORD commanded Moses.







5:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 5:2 Command the children of



Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that



hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: 5:3 Both male and



female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they



defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.







5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the



camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.







5:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 5:6 Speak unto the children



of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit,



to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 5:7 Then



they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall



recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it



the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath



trespassed.







5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto,



let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest;



beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made



for him.







5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of



Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.







5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man



giveth the priest, it shall be his.







5:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 5:12 Speak unto the



children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and



commit a trespass against him, 5:13 And a man lie with her carnally,



and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she



be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken



with the manner; 5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he



be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of



jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not



defiled: 5:15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and



he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of



barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense



thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial,



bringing iniquity to remembrance.







5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:



5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of



the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take,



and put it into the water: 5:18 And the priest shall set the woman



before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of



memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest



shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: 5:19



And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If



no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to



uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from



this bitter water that causeth the curse: 5:20 But if thou hast gone



aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and



some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 5:21 Then the



priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest



shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among



thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to



swell; 5:22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy



bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the



woman shall say, Amen, amen.







5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall



blot them out with the bitter water: 5:24 And he shall cause the woman



to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that



causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.







5:25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the



woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer



it upon the altar: 5:26 And the priest shall take an handful of the



offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and



afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.







5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come



to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her



husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her,



and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot:



and the woman shall be a curse among her people.







5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be



free, and shall conceive seed.







5:29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another



instead of her husband, and is defiled; 5:30 Or when the spirit of



jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall



set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her



all this law.







5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman



shall bear her iniquity.







6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6:2 Speak unto the children



of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate



themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the



LORD: 6:3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and



shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither



shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.







6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made



of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.







6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor



come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he



separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the



locks of the hair of his head grow.







6:6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall



come at no dead body.







6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his



mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the



consecration of his God is upon his head.







6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.







6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the



head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of



his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.







6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young



pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the



congregation: 6:11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin



offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement



for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head



that same day.







6:12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation,



and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but



the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was



defiled.







6:13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his



separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the



tabernacle of the congregation: 6:14 And he shall offer his offering



unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a



burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for



a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, 6:15



And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with



oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat



offering, and their drink offerings.







6:16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer



his sin offering, and his burnt offering: 6:17 And he shall offer the



ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket



of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering,



and his drink offering.







6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the



door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of



the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the



sacrifice of the peace offerings.







6:19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one



unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall



put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his



separation is shaven: 6:20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave



offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave



breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.







6:21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his



offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand



shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after



the law of his separation.







6:22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6:23 Speak unto Aaron and



unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of



Israel, saying unto them, 6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:



6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto



thee: 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee



peace.







6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I



will bless them.







7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the



tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the



instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and



had anointed them, and sanctified them; 7:2 That the princes of



Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of



the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: 7:3 And



they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and



twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox:



and they brought them before the tabernacle.







7:4 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 7:5 Take it of them, that



they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation;



and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to



his service.







7:6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the



Levites.







7:7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,



according to their service: 7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave



unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand



of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.







7:9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of



the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their



shoulders.







7:10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day



that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before



the altar.







7:11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering,



each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.







7:12 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the



son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah: 7:13 And his offering was one

7:89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation



to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him



from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from



between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.







8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8:2 Speak unto Aaron and



say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give



light over against the candlestick.







8:3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the



candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.







8:4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the



shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according



unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the



candlestick.







8:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8:6 Take the Levites from



among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.







8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water



of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let



them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.







8:8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even



fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take



for a sin offering.







8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the



congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children



of Israel together: 8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the



LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the



Levites: 8:11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an



offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service



of the LORD.







8:12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the



bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the



other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for



the Levites.







8:13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,



and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.







8:14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of



Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.







8:15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the



tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer



them for an offering.







8:16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of



Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the



firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.







8:17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both



man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of



Egypt I sanctified them for myself.







8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the



children of Israel.







8:19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons



from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children



of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an



atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among



the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the



sanctuary.







8:20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of



Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded



Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.







8:21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and



Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an



atonement for them to cleanse them.







8:22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the



tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as



the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto



them.







8:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8:24 This is it that



belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward



they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the



congregation: 8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease



waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more: 8:26 But



shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the



congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt



thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.







9:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the



first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of



Egypt, saying, 9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover



at his appointed season.







9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in



his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according



to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.







9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep



the passover.







9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first



month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the



LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.







9:6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a



man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came



before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 9:7 And those men said unto



him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept



back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed



season among the children of Israel?  9:8 And Moses said unto them,



Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning



you.







9:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9:10 Speak unto the



children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity



shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar



off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.







9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep



it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.







9:12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone



of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep



it.







9:13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and



forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off



from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD



in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.







9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the



passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover,



and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one



ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the



land.







9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud



covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even



there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until



the morning.







9:16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance



of fire by night.







9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after



that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the



cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.







9:18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed,



and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud



abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.







9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days,



then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed



not.







9:20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;



according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents,



and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.







9:21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning,



and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed:



whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they



journeyed.







9:22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the



cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of



Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken



up, they journeyed.







9:23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at



the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of



the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.







10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10:2 Make thee two



trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou



mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the



journeying of the camps.







10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall



assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the



congregation.







10:4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which



are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto



thee.







10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts



shall go forward.







10:6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on



the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for



their journeys.







10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall



blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.







10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets;



and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your



generations.







10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that



oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye



shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved



from your enemies.







10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and



in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over



your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings;



that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD



your God.







10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in



the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle



of the testimony.







10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the



wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.







10:13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment



of the LORD by the hand of Moses.







10:14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children



of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the



son of Amminadab.







10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was



Nethaneel the son of Zuar.







10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was



Eliab the son of Helon.







10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and



the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.







10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to



their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.







10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was



Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.







10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was



Eliasaph the son of Deuel.







10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the



other did set up the tabernacle against they came.







10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set



forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the



son of Ammihud.







10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was



Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.







10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was



Abidan the son of Gideoni.







10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward,



which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and



over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.







10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was



Pagiel the son of Ocran.







10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was



Ahira the son of Enan.







10:28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to



their armies, when they set forward.







10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,



Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the



LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee



good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.







10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine



own land, and to my kindred.







10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou



knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to



us instead of eyes.







10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what



goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.







10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'



journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in



the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.







10:34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went



out of the camp.







10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said,



Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that



hate thee flee before thee.







10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many



thousands of Israel.







11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the



LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD



burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts



of the camp.







11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the



LORD, the fire was quenched.







11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of



the LORD burnt among them.







11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and



the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us



flesh to eat?  11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt



freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions,



and the garlick: 11:6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing



at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.







11:7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as



the colour of bdellium.







11:8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in



mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of



it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.







11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell



upon it.







11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,



every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was



kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.







11:11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy



servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou



layest the burden of all this people upon me?  11:12 Have I conceived



all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto



me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking



child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?  11:13



Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep



unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.







11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too



heavy for me.







11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of



hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my



wretchedness.







11:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the



elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people,



and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the



congregation, that they may stand there with thee.







11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take



of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they



shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not



thyself alone.







11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to



morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the



LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us



in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.







11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither



ten days, nor twenty days; 11:20 But even a whole month, until it come



out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye



have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him,



saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?  11:21 And Moses said, The



people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou



hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.







11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice



them?  or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them,



to suffice them?  11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's



hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to



pass unto thee or not.







11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD,



and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them



round about the tabernacle.







11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took



of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders:



and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they



prophesied, and did not cease.







11:26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the



one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested



upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out



unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.







11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and



Medad do prophesy in the camp.







11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his



young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.







11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God



that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put



his spirit upon them!  11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and



the elders of Israel.







11:31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails



from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's



journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other



side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the



face of the earth.







11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and



all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least



gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves



round about the camp.







11:33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was



chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the



LORD smote the people with a very great plague.







11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because



there they buried the people that lusted.







11:35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;



and abode at Hazeroth.







12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian



woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.







12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he



not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.







12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were



upon the face of the earth.)  12:4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto



Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the



tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.







12:5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in



the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both



came forth.







12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you,



I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak



unto him in a dream.







12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.







12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in



dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:



wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?



12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he



departed.







12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,



Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam,



and, behold, she was leprous.







12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay



not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we



have sinned.







12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed



when he cometh out of his mother's womb.







12:13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I



beseech thee.







12:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her



face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from



the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.







12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people



journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.







12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in



the wilderness of Paran.







13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13:2 Send thou men, that



they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of



Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one



a ruler among them.







13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the



wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of



Israel.







13:4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the



son of Zaccur.







13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.







13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.







13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.







13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.







13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.







13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.







13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi



the son of Susi.







13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.







13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.







13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.







13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.







13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the



land.







And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.







13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto



them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:



13:18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth



therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 13:19 And what



the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what



cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong



holds; 13:20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether



there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of



the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe



grapes.







13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of



Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.







13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where



Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron



was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)  13:23 And they came unto



the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one



cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they



brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.







13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of



grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.







13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.







13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the



congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran,



to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the



congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.







13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou



sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the



fruit of it.







13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and



the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the



children of Anak there.







13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites,



and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the



Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.







13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go



up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.







13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up



against the people; for they are stronger than we.







13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had



searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which



we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants



thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great



stature.







13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the



giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were



in their sight.







14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and



the people wept that night.







14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against



Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we



had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this



wilderness!  14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this



land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be



a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?  14:4 And they



said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into



Egypt.







14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly



of the congregation of the children of Israel.







14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which



were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 14:7 And they



spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The



land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.







14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land,



and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.







14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of



the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from



them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.







14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the



glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation



before all the children of Israel.







14:11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke



me?  and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs



which I have shewed among them?  14:12 I will smite them with the



pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater



nation and mightier than they.







14:13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it,



(for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)



14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they



have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art



seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that



thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a



pillar of fire by night.







14:15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the



nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 14:16



Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which



he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.







14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great,



according as thou hast spoken, saying, 14:18 The LORD is



longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and



transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the



iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth



generation.







14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according



unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this



people, from Egypt even until now.







14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 14:21



But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory



of the LORD.







14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles,



which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now



these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 14:23 Surely they



shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall



any of them that provoked me see it: 14:24 But my servant Caleb,



because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully,



him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall



possess it.







14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)



Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the



Red sea.







14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 14:27 How



long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against



me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they



murmur against me.







14:28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have



spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 14:29 Your carcases shall



fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according



to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have



murmured against me.







14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I



sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and



Joshua the son of Nun.







14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will



I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.







14:32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this



wilderness.







14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years,



and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the



wilderness.







14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even



forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even



forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.







14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil



congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this



wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.







14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned,



and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a



slander upon the land, 14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil



report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.







14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which



were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.







14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel:



and the people mourned greatly.







14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the



top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the



place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.







14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment



of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.







14:42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten



before your enemies.







14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and



ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD,



therefore the LORD will not be with you.







14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the



ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the



camp.







14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in



that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.







15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 15:2 Speak unto the



children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land



of your habitations, which I give unto you, 15:3 And will make an



offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in



performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts,



to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:



15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a



meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of



an hin of oil.







15:5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt



thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.







15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth



deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.







15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an



hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.







15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a



sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: 15:9



Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth



deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.







15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,



for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.







15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a



lamb, or a kid.







15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to



every one according to their number.







15:13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after



this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour



unto the LORD.







15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in



your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet



savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.







15:15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and



also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever



in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the



LORD.







15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger



that sojourneth with you.







15:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 15:18 Speak unto the



children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land



whither I bring you, 15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the



bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.







15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave



offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall



ye heave it.







15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave



offering in your generations.







15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,



which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 15:23 Even all that the LORD



hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD



commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 15:24 Then



it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge



of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young



bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with



his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner,



and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.







15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation



of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is



ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by



fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their



ignorance: 15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the



children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them;



seeing all the people were in ignorance.







15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she



goat of the first year for a sin offering.







15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth



ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an



atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.







15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,



both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the



stranger that sojourneth among them.







15:30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born



in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that



soul shall be cut off from among his people.







15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken



his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity



shall be upon him.







15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they



found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.







15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses



and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.







15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what



should be done to him.







15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to



death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the



camp.







15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and



stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.







15:37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 15:38 Speak unto the



children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the



borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they



put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 15:39 And it



shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember



all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not



after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a



whoring: 15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and



be holy unto your God.







15:41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of



Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.







16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi,



and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,



sons of Reuben, took men: 16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with



certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of



the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: 16:3 And they



gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said



unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are



holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then



lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?  16:4 And



when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: 16:5 And he spake unto



Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will



shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near



unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto



him.







16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; 16:7 And



put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow:



and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be



holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.







16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:



16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel



hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near



to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to



stand before the congregation to minister unto them?  16:10 And he



hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi



with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?  16:11 For which cause



both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD:



and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?  16:12 And Moses sent



to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not



come up: 16:13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of



a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,



except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?  16:14 Moreover



thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey,



or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the



eyes of these men? we will not come up.







16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not



thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have



I hurt one of them.







16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before



the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: 16:17 And take every



man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD



every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and



Aaron, each of you his censer.







16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and



laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the



congregation with Moses and Aaron.







16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the



door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD



appeared unto all the congregation.







16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 16:21



Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume



them in a moment.







16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the



spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with



all the congregation?  16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,



16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the



tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.







16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the



elders of Israel followed him.







16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you,



from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest



ye be consumed in all their sins.







16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram,



on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door



of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little



children.







16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me



to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.







16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be



visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent



me.







16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth,



and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go



down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have



provoked the LORD.







16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these



words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: 16:32 And



the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses,



and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.







16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the



pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the



congregation.







16:34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of



them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.







16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two



hundred and fifty men that offered incense.







16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 16:37 Speak unto Eleazar



the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the



burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.







16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them



make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered



them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a



sign unto the children of Israel.







16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they



that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a



covering of the altar: 16:40 To be a memorial unto the children of



Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near



to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his



company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.







16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel



murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the



people of the LORD.







16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against



Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the



congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the



LORD appeared.







16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the



congregation.







16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 16:45 Get you up from



among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And



they fell upon their faces.







16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein



from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the



congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone



out from the LORD; the plague is begun.







16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the



congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and



he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.







16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was



stayed.







16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and



seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.







16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of



the congregation: and the plague was stayed.







17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17:2 Speak unto the



children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to



the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the



house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon



his rod.







17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one



rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.







17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation



before the testimony, where I will meet with you.







17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall



choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings



of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.







17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of



their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to



their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was



among their rods.







17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of



witness.







17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the



tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of



Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and



yielded almonds.







17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all



the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.







17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the



testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt



quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.







17:11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.







17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we



die, we perish, we all perish.







17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD



shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?  18:1 And the LORD said



unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall



bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee



shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.







18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy



father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and



minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister



before the tabernacle of witness.







18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the



tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary



and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.







18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the



tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle:



and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.







18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of



the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of



Israel.







18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among



the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD,



to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.







18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's



office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall



serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of



gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.







18:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the



charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the



children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the



anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.







18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the



fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and



every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs



which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for



thy sons.







18:10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat



it: it shall be holy unto thee.







18:11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all



the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto



thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for



ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.







18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of



the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the



LORD, them have I given thee.







18:13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring



unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house



shall eat of it.







18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.







18:15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they



bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine:



nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the



firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.







18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou



redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels,



after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.







18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the



firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt



sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an



offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.







18:18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as



the right shoulder are thine.







18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children



of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy



daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt



for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.







18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in



their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part



and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.







18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in



Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even



the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.







18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the



tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.







18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the



congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a



statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children



of Israel they have no inheritance.







18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an



heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit:



therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they



shall have no inheritance.







18:25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18:26 Thus speak unto the



Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the



tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye



shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part



of the tithe.







18:27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as



though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of



the winepress.







18:28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all



your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall



give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.







18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the



LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of



it.







18:30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best



thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the



increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.







18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for



it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the



congregation.







18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved



from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of



the children of Israel, lest ye die.







19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 19:2 This



is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying,



Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer



without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:



19:3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring



her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:



19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger,



and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the



congregation seven times: 19:5 And one shall burn the heifer in his



sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he



burn: 19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and



scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.







19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his



flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the



priest shall be unclean until the even.







19:8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and



bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.







19:9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer,



and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be



kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of



separation: it is a purification for sin.







19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his



clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the



children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them,



for a statute for ever.







19:11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven



days.







19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the



seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third



day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.







19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and



purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that



soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was



not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet



upon him.







19:14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into



the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.







19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is



unclean.







19:16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the



open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be



unclean seven days.







19:17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the



burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put



thereto in a vessel: 19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and



dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the



vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that



touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: 19:19 And the



clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on



the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and



wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at



even.







19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself,



that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he



hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath



not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.







19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that



sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that



toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.







19:22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and



the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.







20:1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,



into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in



Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.







20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered



themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.







20:3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God



that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!  20:4 And why



have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness,



that we and our cattle should die there?  20:5 And wherefore have ye



made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place?



it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates;



neither is there any water to drink.







20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto



the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon



their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.







20:7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 20:8 Take the rod, and



gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and



speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his



water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so



thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.







20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.







20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before



the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch



you water out of this rock?  20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and



with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out



abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.







20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me



not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore



ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given



them.







20:13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel



strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.







20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom,



Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath



befallen us: 20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have



dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our



fathers: 20:16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice,



and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and,



behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: 20:17



Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass



through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of



the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not



turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy



borders.







20:18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come



out against thee with the sword.







20:19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high



way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for



it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.







20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out



against him with much people, and with a strong hand.







20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border:



wherefore Israel turned away from him.







20:22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,



journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.







20:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the



coast of the land of Edom, saying, 20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto



his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given



unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at



the water of Meribah.







20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount



Hor: 20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar



his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die



there.







20:27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount



Hor in the sight of all the congregation.







20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon



Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and



Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.







20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they



mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.







21:1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard



tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against



Israel, and took some of them prisoners.







21:2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt



indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy



their cities.







21:3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up



the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and



he called the name of the place Hormah.







21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to



compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much



discouraged because of the way.







21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore



have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there



is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this



light bread.







21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit



the people; and much people of Israel died.







21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for



we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD,



that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the



people.







21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set



it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is



bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.







21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it



came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the



serpent of brass, he lived.







21:10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.







21:11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the



wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.







21:12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.







21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of



Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the



Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the



Amorites.







21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What



he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, 21:15 And at the



stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth



upon the border of Moab.







21:16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the



LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give



them water.







21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:



21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it,



by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the



wilderness they went to Mattanah: 21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel:



and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 21:20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that



is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward



Jeshimon.







21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,



saying, 21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the



fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the



well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past



thy borders.







21:23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border:



but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against



Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against



Israel.







21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed



his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for



the border of the children of Ammon was strong.







21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the



cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.







21:26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who



had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out



of his hand, even unto Arnon.







21:27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon,



let the city of Sihon be built and prepared: 21:28 For there is a fire



gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed



Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.







21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath



given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto



Sihon king of the Amorites.







21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and



we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.







21:31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.







21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages



thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.







21:33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the



king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the



battle at Edrei.







21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered



him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do



to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at



Heshbon.







21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there



was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.







22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains



of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.







22:2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the



Amorites.







22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many:



and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.







22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company



lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of



the field.







And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.







22:5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to



Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his



people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from



Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over



against me: 22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this



people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail,



that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for



I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest



is cursed.







22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the
