1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the
first [day] of the second month, and they declared their

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

2:15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
forty 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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:

7:89 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.) To morrow 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
theirs, 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 every thing of the altar, and within the
vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office
[unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death.
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] any thing [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 rewards of divination in their hand; and they came
unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will
bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the
princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
22:9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are] these
with thee?
22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying],
22:11 Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which
covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them;
peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them
out.
22:12 And God s
