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.

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.

And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Israel.

them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD
may be turned away from Israel.

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.

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,

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.

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:

brethren.
27:10:
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father's brethren.

as the LORD commanded Moses.

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.

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 shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34:
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell:
for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
36:1:
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph,
came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers
of the children of Israel:
36:2:
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance
by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD
to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
36:3:
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children
of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of
our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
36:4:
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their
inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance
of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5:
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the
LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
36:6:
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to
the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
36:7:
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe
to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8:
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of
her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance
of his fathers.
36:9:
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but
every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to
his own inheritance.
36:10:
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
36:11:
For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of
Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
36:12:
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son
of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of
their father.
36:13:
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded
by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab
by Jordan near Jericho.
