| 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 highway, 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 Ije-abarim, 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 said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not
curse the people: for they are blessed. |
| 22:13: |
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of
Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to
go with you. |
| 22:14: |
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said,
Balaam refuseth to come with us. |
| 22:15: |
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than
they. |
| 22:16: |
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of
Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: |
| 22:17: |
For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do
whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me
this people. |
| 22:18: |
And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak
would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the
word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. |
| 22:19: |
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may
know what the LORD will say unto me more. |
| 22:20: |
And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come
to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall
say unto thee, that shalt thou do. |
| 22:21: |
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with
the princes of Moab. |
| 22:22: |
And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the
LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding
upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. |
| 22:23: |
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his
sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and
went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the
way. |
| 22:24: |
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall
being on this side, and a wall on that side. |
| 22:25: |
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto
the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote
her again. |
| 22:26: |
And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place,
where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. |
| 22:27: |
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under
Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a
staff. |
| 22:28: |
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam,
What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three
times? |
| 22:29: |
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would
there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. |
| 22:30: |
And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou
hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do
so unto thee? And he said, Nay. |
| 22:31: |
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the
LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed
down his head, and fell flat on his face. |
| 22:32: |
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee,
because thy way is perverse before me: |
| 22:33: |
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she
had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her
alive. |
| 22:34: |
And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew
not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it
displease thee, I will get me back again. |
| 22:35: |
And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only
the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam
went with the princes of Balak. |
| 22:36: |
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him
unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the
utmost coast. |
| 22:37: |
And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to
call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to
promote thee to honour? |
| 22:38: |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any
power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth,
that shall I speak. |
| 22:39: |
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth. |
| 22:40: |
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that were with him. |
| 22:41: |
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the
utmost part of the people. |
|
|
| 23:1: |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare
me here seven oxen and seven rams. |
| 23:2: |
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
every altar a bullock and a ram. |
| 23:3: |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will
go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth
me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. |
| 23:4: |
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven
altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. |
| 23:5: |
And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. |
| 23:6: |
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab. |
| 23:7: |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath
brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come,
curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. |
| 23:8: |
How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom the LORD hath not defied? |
| 23:9: |
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold
him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among
the nations. |
| 23:10: |
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of
Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like his! |
| 23:11: |
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee
to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them
altogether. |
| 23:12: |
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which
the LORD hath put in my mouth? |
| 23:13: |
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another
place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost
part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from
thence. |
| 23:14: |
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah,
and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every
altar. |
| 23:15: |
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I
meet the LORD yonder. |
| 23:16: |
And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go
again unto Balak, and say thus. |
| 23:17: |
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and
the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD
spoken? |
| 23:18: |
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: |
| 23:19: |
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he
should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken,
and shall he not make it good? |
| 23:20: |
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed;
and I cannot reverse it. |
| 23:21: |
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a
king is among them. |
| 23:22: |
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn. |
| 23:23: |
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of
Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! |
| 23:24: |
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself
as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and
drink the blood of the slain. |
| 23:25: |
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them
at all. |
| 23:26: |
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All
that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? |
| 23:27: |
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto
another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me
them from thence. |
| 23:28: |
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon. |
| 23:29: |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare
me here seven bullocks and seven rams. |
| 23:30: |
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on
every altar. |
|
|
| 24:1: |
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went
not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face
toward the wilderness. |
| 24:2: |
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents
according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. |
| 24:3: |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: |
| 24:4: |
He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of
the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: |
| 24:5: |
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O
Israel! |
| 24:6: |
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's
side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as
cedar trees beside the waters. |
| 24:7: |
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in
many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom
shall be exalted. |
| 24:8: |
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break
their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. |
| 24:9: |
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall
stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that
curseth thee. |
| 24:10: |
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine
enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three
times. |
| 24:11: |
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto
great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour. |
| 24:12: |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which
thou sentest unto me, saying, |
| 24:13: |
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go
beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own
mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak? |
| 24:14: |
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter
days. |
| 24:15: |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: |
| 24:16: |
He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of
the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a
trance, but having his eyes open: |
| 24:17: |
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there
shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of
Sheth. |
| 24:18: |
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for
his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. |
| 24:19: |
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city. |
| 24:20: |
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said,
Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he
perish for ever. |
| 24:21: |
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. |
| 24:22: |
Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive. |
| 24:23: |
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God
doeth this! |
| 24:24: |
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. |
| 24:25: |
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak
also went his way. |
|
|
| 25:1: |
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab. |
| 25:2: |
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. |
| 25:3: |
And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel. |
| 25:4: |
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of
the LORD may be turned away from Israel. |
| 25:5: |
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor. |
| 25:6: |
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. |
| 25:7: |
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his
hand; |
| 25:8: |
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of
them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the
plague was stayed from the children of Israel. |
| 25:9: |
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. |
| 25:10: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 25:11: |
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous
for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my
jealousy. |
| 25:12: |
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: |
| 25:13: |
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel. |
| 25:14: |
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain
with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a
chief house among the Simeonites. |
| 25:15: |
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in
Midian. |
| 25:16: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 25:17: |
Vex the Midianites, and smite them: |
| 25:18: |
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you
in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a
prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague
for Peor's sake. |
|
|
| 26:1: |
And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, |
| 26:2: |
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all
that are able to go to war in Israel. |
| 26:3: |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, |
| 26:4: |
Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the
LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of
the land of Egypt. |

against the LORD: |
| 26:10: |
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with
Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred
and fifty men: and they became a sign. |

| 26:53: |
Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to
the number of names. |
| 26:54: |
To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt
give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given
according to those that were numbered of him. |
| 26:55: |
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. |
| 26:56: |

And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand,

These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho. |
| 26:64: |
But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the
priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai. |
| 26:65: |
For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the
wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. |
|
|
| 27:1: |
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. |
| 27:2: |
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying, |
| 27:3: |
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of
Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. |
| 27:4: |
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family,
because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the
brethren of our father. |
| 27:5: |
And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. |
| 27:6: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 27:7: |
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them
a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and
thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. |
| 27:8: |
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto
his daughter. |
| 27:9: |
And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his brethren. |
| 27:10: |
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren. |
| 27:11: |
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he
shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute
of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 27:12: |
And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and
see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. |
| 27:13: |
And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy
people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. |
| 27:14: |
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of
Zin. |
| 27:15: |
And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, |
| 27:16: |
Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation, |
| 27:17: |
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd. |
| 27:18: |
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man
in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; |
| 27:19: |
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. |
| 27:20: |
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. |
| 27:21: |
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel
for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall
they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. |
| 27:22: |
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: |
| 27:23: |
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses. |
|
|
| 28:1: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 28:2: |
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season. |
| 28:3: |
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which
ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot
day by day, for a continual burnt offering. |
| 28:4: |
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb
shalt thou offer at even; |
| 28:5: |
And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. |
| 28:6: |
It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. |
| 28:7: |
And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for
the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be
poured unto the LORD for a drink offering. |
| 28:8: |
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of
the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. |
| 28:9: |
And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and
two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the
drink offering thereof: |
| 28:10: |
This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual
burnt offering, and his drink offering. |
| 28:11: |
And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first
year without spot; |
| 28:12: |
And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil,
for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, for one ram; |
| 28:13: |
And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. |
| 28:14: |
And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an
hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the
months of the year. |
| 28:15: |
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering. |
| 28:16: |
And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD. |
| 28:17: |
And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten. |
| 28:18: |
In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner
of servile work therein: |
| 28:19: |
But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto
the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first
year: they shall be unto you without blemish: |
| 28:20: |
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three
tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a
ram; |
| 28:21: |
A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs: |
| 28:22: |
And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. |
| 28:23: |
Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which
is for a continual burnt offering. |
| 28:24: |
After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering. |
| 28:25: |
And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do
no servile work. |
| 28:26: |
Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering
unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work: |
| 28:27: |
But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; |
| 28:28: |
And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, |
| 28:29: |

| 28:31: |
Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings. |
|
|
| 29:1: |
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of
blowing the trumpets unto you. |
| 29:2: |
And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD;
one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without
blemish: |
| 29:3: |
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, |
| 29:4: |
And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: |
| 29:5: |
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for
you: |
| 29:6: |
Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and
the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink
offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice
made by fire unto the LORD. |
| 29:7: |
And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work
therein: |
| 29:8: |
But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour;
one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall
be unto you without blemish: |
| 29:9: |
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, |
| 29:10: |
A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: |

atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it,
and their drink offerings. |
| 29:12: |

| 29:13: |
And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and
fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish: |
| 29:14: |
And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals
to each ram of the two rams, |
| 29:15: |
And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs: |
| 29:16: |
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:17: |
And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams,
fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: |
| 29:18: |
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner: |
| 29:19: |
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink
offerings. |
| 29:20: |
And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the
first year without blemish; |
| 29:21: |
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner: |
| 29:22: |
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:23: |
And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish: |
| 29:24: |
Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after
the manner: |
| 29:25: |
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual
burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:26: |
And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year without spot: |
| 29:27: |
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner: |
| 29:28: |
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:29: |
And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish: |
| 29:30: |
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner: |
| 29:31: |
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:32: |
And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs
of the first year without blemish: |
| 29:33: |
And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks,
for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner: |
| 29:34: |
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:35: |
On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no
servile work therein: |
| 29:36: |
But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the
first year without blemish: |
| 29:37: |
Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for
the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the
manner: |
| 29:38: |
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering. |
| 29:39: |
These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside
your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for
your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace
offerings. |
| 29:40: |
And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses. |
|
|
| 30:1: |
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children
of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. |
| 30:2: |
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all
that proceedeth out of his mouth. |
| 30:3: |
If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth; |
| 30:4: |
And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows
shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall
stand. |
| 30:5: |
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of
her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand:
and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. |
| 30:6: |
And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought
out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; |
| 30:7: |
And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that
he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound
her soul shall stand. |
| 30:8: |
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then
he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD
shall forgive her. |
| 30:9: |
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they
have bound their souls, shall stand against her. |
| 30:10: |
And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath; |
| 30:11: |
And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed
her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she
bound her soul shall stand. |
| 30:12: |
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard
them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made
them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. |
| 30:13: |
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband
may establish it, or her husband may make it void. |
| 30:14: |
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day;
then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her:
he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he
heard them. |
| 30:15: |
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity. |
| 30:16: |
These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man
and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth
in her father's house. |
|
|
| 31:1: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 31:2: |
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou
be gathered unto thy people. |
| 31:3: |
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto
the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of
Midian. |
| 31:4: |
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall
ye send to the war. |
| 31:5: |
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of
every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. |
| 31:6: |
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy
instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand. |
| 31:7: |
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males. |
| 31:8: |
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. |
| 31:9: |
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and
their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their
flocks, and all their goods. |
| 31:10: |
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire. |
| 31:11: |
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of
beasts. |
| 31:12: |
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children
of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near
Jericho. |
| 31:13: |
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. |
| 31:14: |
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the
battle. |
| 31:15: |
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? |
| 31:16: |
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and
there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. |
| 31:17: |
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him. |
| 31:18: |
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves. |
| 31:19: |
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed
any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves
and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. |
| 31:20: |
And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all
work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. |
| 31:21: |
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded
Moses; |
| 31:22: |
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the
lead, |
| 31:23: |
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the
fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the
water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go
through the water. |
| 31:24: |
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp. |
| 31:25: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 31:26: |
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the
congregation: |
| 31:27: |
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war
upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: |
| 31:28: |
And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves,
and of the asses, and of the sheep: |
| 31:29: |
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD. |
| 31:30: |
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion
of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks,
of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the
charge of the tabernacle of the LORD. |
| 31:31: |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded
Moses. |
| 31:32: |
And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand
sheep, |
| 31:33: |
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, |
| 31:34: |
And threescore and one thousand asses, |
| 31:35: |
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not
known man by lying with him. |
| 31:36: |
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was
in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five
hundred sheep: |
| 31:37: |
And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and
threescore and fifteen. |
| 31:38: |
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve. |
| 31:39: |
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one. |
| 31:40: |
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was thirty and two persons. |
| 31:41: |
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 31:42: |
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from
the men that warred, |
| 31:43: |
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred
sheep, |
| 31:44: |
And thirty and six thousand beeves, |
| 31:45: |
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, |
| 31:46: |
And sixteen thousand persons;) |
| 31:47: |
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of
fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which
kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded
Moses. |
| 31:48: |
And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains
of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: |
| 31:49: |
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men
of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of
us. |
| 31:50: |
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man
hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings,
and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. |
| 31:51: |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels. |
| 31:52: |
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of
the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen
thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. |
| 31:53: |
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) |
| 31:54: |
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the
LORD. |
|
|
| 32:1: |
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of
Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; |
| 32:2: |
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto
Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the
congregation, saying, |
| 32:3: |
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh,
and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, |
| 32:4: |
Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: |
| 32:5: |
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this
land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over
Jordan. |
| 32:6: |
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? |
| 32:7: |
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? |
| 32:8: |
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the
land. |
| 32:9: |
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should
not go into the land which the LORD had given them. |
| 32:10: |
And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying, |
| 32:11: |
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years
old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto
Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: |
| 32:12: |
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of
Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. |
| 32:13: |
And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them
wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had
done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. |
| 32:14: |
And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase
of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward
Israel. |
| 32:15: |
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in
the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. |
| 32:16: |
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here
for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: |
| 32:17: |
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel,
until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall
dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. |
| 32:18: |
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance. |
| 32:19: |
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward;
because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan
eastward. |
| 32:20: |
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the LORD to war, |
| 32:21: |
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he
hath driven out his enemies from before him, |
| 32:22: |
And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall
return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this
land shall be your possession before the LORD. |
| 32:23: |
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out. |
| 32:24: |
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and
do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. |
| 32:25: |
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses,
saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. |
| 32:26: |
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be
there in the cities of Gilead: |
| 32:27: |
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the
LORD to battle, as my lord saith. |
| 32:28: |
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the
son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of
Israel: |
| 32:29: |
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of
Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before
the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give
them the land of Gilead for a possession: |
| 32:30: |
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan. |
| 32:31: |
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying,
As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. |
| 32:32: |
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that
the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. |
| 32:33: |
And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of
Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og
king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the
cities of the country round about. |
| 32:34: |
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, |
| 32:35: |
And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, |
| 32:36: |
And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for
sheep. |
| 32:37: |
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim, |
| 32:38: |
And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah:
and gave other names unto the cities which they builded. |
| 32:39: |
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. |
| 32:40: |
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein. |
| 32:41: |
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof,
and called them Havoth-jair. |
| 32:42: |
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called
it Nobah, after his own name. |
|
|
| 33:1: |
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth
out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and
Aaron. |
| 33:2: |
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their
goings out. |
| 33:3: |
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth
day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of
Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. |
| 33:4: |
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed
judgments. |
| 33:5: |
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth. |
| 33:6: |
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the
edge of the wilderness. |
| 33:7: |
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which
is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol. |
| 33:8: |
And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in
the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. |
| 33:9: |
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they
pitched there. |
| 33:10: |
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. |
| 33:11: |
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of
Sin. |
| 33:12: |
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and
encamped in Dophkah. |
| 33:13: |
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. |
| 33:14: |
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no
water for the people to drink. |
| 33:15: |
And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of
Sinai. |
| 33:16: |
And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibroth-hattaavah. |
| 33:17: |
And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at
Hazeroth. |
| 33:18: |
And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. |
| 33:19: |
And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez. |
| 33:20: |
And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah. |
| 33:21: |
And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. |
| 33:22: |
And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. |
| 33:23: |
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. |
| 33:24: |
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. |
| 33:25: |
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. |
| 33:26: |
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. |
| 33:27: |
And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. |
| 33:28: |
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah. |
| 33:29: |
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. |
| 33:30: |
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. |
| 33:31: |
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan. |
| 33:32: |
And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad. |
| 33:33: |
And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. |
| 33:34: |
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. |
| 33:35: |
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber. |
| 33:36: |
And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which is Kadesh. |
| 33:37: |
And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge
of the land of Edom. |
| 33:38: |
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the
LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel
were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth
month. |
| 33:39: |
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died
in mount Hor. |
| 33:40: |
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of
Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. |
| 33:41: |
And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. |
| 33:42: |
And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. |
| 33:43: |
And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. |
| 33:44: |
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the
border of Moab. |
| 33:45: |
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad. |
| 33:46: |
And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in
Almon-diblathaim. |
| 33:47: |
And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains
of Abarim, before Nebo. |
| 33:48: |
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. |
| 33:49: |
And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim
in the plains of Moab. |
| 33:50: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying, |
| 33:51: |
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; |
| 33:52: |
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before
you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images,
and quite pluck down all their high places: |
| 33:53: |
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell
therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. |
| 33:54: |
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance
shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of
your fathers ye shall inherit. |
| 33:55: |
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before
you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you
in the land wherein ye dwell. |
| 33:56: |
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I
thought to do unto them. |
|
|
| 34:1: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 34:2: |
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) |
| 34:3: |
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by
the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of
the salt sea eastward: |
| 34:4: |
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim,
and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south
to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to
Azmon: |
| 34:5: |
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of
Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. |
| 34:6: |
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a
border: this shall be your west border. |
| 34:7: |
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall
point out for you mount Hor: |
| 34:8: |
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: |
| 34:9: |
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall
be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border. |
| 34:10: |
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to
Shepham: |
| 34:11: |
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side
of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of
the sea of Chinnereth eastward: |
| 34:12: |
And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it
shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof
round about. |
| 34:13: |
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land
which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the
nine tribes, and to the half tribe: |
| 34:14: |
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of
their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the
house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the
tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance: |
| 34:15: |
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on
this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. |
| 34:16: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 34:17: |
These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. |
| 34:18: |
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance. |
| 34:19: |
And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the
son of Jephunneh. |
| 34:20: |
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud. |
| 34:21: |
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. |
| 34:22: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of
Jogli. |
| 34:23: |
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children
of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. |
| 34:24: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan. |
| 34:25: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the
son of Parnach. |
| 34:26: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the
son of Azzan. |
| 34:27: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son
of Shelomi. |
| 34:28: |
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the
son of Ammihud. |
| 34:29: |
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto
the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. |
|
|
| 35:1: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying, |
| 35:2: |
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of
the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give
also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them. |
| 35:3: |
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them
shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their
beasts. |
| 35:4: |
And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round
about. |
| 35:5: |
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the
west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits
and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of
the cities. |
| 35:6: |
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall
be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that
he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities. |
| 35:7: |
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty
and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs. |
| 35:8: |
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the
children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from
them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities
unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth. |
| 35:9: |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 35:10: |
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come
over Jordan into the land of Canaan; |
| 35:11: |
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that
the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares. |
| 35:12: |
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that
the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in
judgment. |
| 35:13: |
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for
refuge. |
| 35:14: |
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of
refuge. |
| 35:15: |
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel,
and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one
that killeth any person unawares may flee thither. |
| 35:16: |
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. |
| 35:17: |
And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and
he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. |
| 35:18: |
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death. |
| 35:19: |
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him. |
| 35:20: |
But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait,
that he die; |
| 35:21: |
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him
shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. |
| 35:22: |
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him
any thing without laying of wait, |
| 35:23: |
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast
it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his
harm: |
| 35:24: |
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger
of blood according to these judgments: |
| 35:25: |
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the
revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of
his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death
of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. |
| 35:26: |
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled; |
| 35:27: |
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of
his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be
guilty of blood: |
| 35:28: |
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the
death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the
slayer shall return into the land of his possession. |
| 35:29: |
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
| 35:30: |
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the
mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person
to cause him to die. |
| 35:31: |
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer,
which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. |
| 35:32: |
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of
his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the
death of the priest. |
| 35:33: |
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it
defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is
