1:1Yahweh spoke to Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the
second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of
Egypt, saying, 1:2"Take a census of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their
fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by
one; 1:3from twenty years old and upward,
all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number
them by their divisions. 1:4With you there shall be a man of
every tribe; everyone head of his fathers' house. 1:5These are
the names of the men who shall stand with you:
Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.
1:6Of Simeon:
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
1:7Of Judah:
Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
1:8Of Issachar:

1:15Of
Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan."
1:16These are those who were called of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel. 1:17Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name. 1:18They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, one by one. 1:19As Yahweh commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
1:20The children of Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:21those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
1:22Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, those who were numbered of it, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:23those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
1:24Of the children of Gad, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:25those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.
1:26Of the children of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:27those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were sixty-four thousand six hundred.
1:28Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:29those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
1:30Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:31those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 1:32Of the children of Joseph, of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by thir families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:33those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.
1:34Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:35those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
1:36Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war; 1:37those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
1:38Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; 1:39those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
1:40Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; 1:41those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand five hundred.
1:42Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; 1:43those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
1:44These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one for his fathers' house. 1:45So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel; 1:46even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. 1:47But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 1:48For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 1:49"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel; 1:50but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it. 1:51When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 1:52The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions. 1:53But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."
1:54Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.
2:1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2:2"The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses: at a distance from the tent of meeting shall they encamp around it."
2:3Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 2:4His division, and those who were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
2:5Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. 2:6His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
2:7The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. 2:8His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
2:9All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions. They shall set out first.
2:10"On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their divisions. The prince of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 2:11His division, and those who were numbered of it, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
2:12"Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon. The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 2:13His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
2:14"The tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 2:15His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.
2:16"All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben were one hundred fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their hosts. They shall set out second.
2:17"Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.
2:18"On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 2:19His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred.
2:20"Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 2:21His division, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
2:22"The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 2:23His host, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
2:24"All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions. They shall set out third.
2:25"On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 2:26His division, and those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
2:27"Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ochran. 2:28His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-one thousand and five hundred.
2:29"The tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 2:30His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
2:31"All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last by their standards."
2:32These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. 2:33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
2:34Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.
3:1Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. 3:2These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3:3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 3:4Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
3:5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 3:6"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him. 3:7They shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:8They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3:9You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel. 3:10You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
3:11Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 3:12"Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine: 3:13for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."
3:14Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 3:15"Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shall you number."
3:16Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh, as he was commanded.
3:17These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
3:18These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
3:19The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
3:20The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi.
These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
3:21Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
3:22Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
3:23The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.
3:24The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 3:25The charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting, 3:26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
3:27Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. 3:28According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
3:29The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle. 3:30The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 3:31Their charge shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all its service. 3:32Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge of the sanctuary.
3:33Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari. 3:34Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
3:35The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle. 3:36The appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service, 3:37the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords. 3:38Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 3:39All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
3:40Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 3:41You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the cattle of the children of Israel."
3:42Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 3:43All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
3:44Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 3:45"Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh. 3:46For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites, 3:47you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs): 3:48and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
3:49Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites; 3:50from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 3:51and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
4:1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 4:2"Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 4:3from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. 4:4This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, the most holy things. 4:5When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it, 4:6and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles. 4:7On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it. 4:8They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles. 4:9They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it. 4:10They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame. 4:11On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles. 4:12They shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame. 4:13They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it. 4:14They shall put on it all its vessels, with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the flesh hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
4:15"When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
4:16"The charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings."
4:17Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 4:18"Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 4:19but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden; 4:20but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die."
4:21Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 4:22"Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families; 4:23from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall you number them; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. 4:24This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: 4:25they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting, 4:26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. Therein shall they serve. 4:27At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and you shall appoint to them in charge all their burden. 4:28This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29"As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families, by their fathers' houses; 4:30from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shall you number them, everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting. 4:31This is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, 4:32and the pillars of the court around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name you shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden. 4:33This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
4:34Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:35from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting. 4:36Those who were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty. 4:37These are those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
4:38Those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:39from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting, 4:40even those who were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty. 4:41These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh. 4:42Those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 4:43from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting, 4:44even those who were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand two hundred. 4:45These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses. 4:46All those who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:47from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting, 4:48even those who were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty. 4:49According to the commandment of Yahweh they were numbered by Moses, everyone according to his service, and according to his burden. Thus were they numbered by him, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
5:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 5:2"Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead. 5:3Both male and female shall you put out, outside of the camp shall you put them; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
5:4The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 5:6"Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty; 5:7then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty. 5:8But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him. 5:9Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. 5:10Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his."
5:11Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 5:12"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him, 5:13and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act; 5:14and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled: 5:15then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory. 5:16The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh; 5:17and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. 5:18The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse. 5:19The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse. 5:20But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:' 5:21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; 5:22and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
5:23"The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness. 5:24He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 5:25The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar. 5:26The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 5:27When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people. 5:28If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29"This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled; 5:30or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 5:31The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity."
6:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6:2"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh, 6:3he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 6:4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
6:5"All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
6:6"All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall not go near a dead body. 6:7He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation to God is on his head. 6:8All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
6:9"If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it. 6:10On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. 6:11The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day. 6:12He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
6:13"This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting, 6:14and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, 6:15and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings. 6:16The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering. 6:17He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering. 6:18The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings. 6:19The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation; 6:20and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.
6:21"This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation."
6:22Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6:23"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
6:24'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
6:25Yahweh make
his face to shine on you,
And be gracious to you.
6:26Yahweh lift up his face toward
you,
And give you peace.'
6:27"So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them."
7:1It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them; 7:2that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered: 7:3and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle. 7:4Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 7:5"Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service."
7:6Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7:7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service: 7:8and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 7:9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
7:10The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings before the altar.

7:89When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him.
8:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 8:2"Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
8:3Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 8:4This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
8:5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 8:6"Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 8:7Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. 8:8Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering. 8:9You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel. 8:10You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites, 8:11and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh. 8:12The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites. 8:13You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh. 8:14Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering. 8:16For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me. 8:17For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. 8:18I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 8:19I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
8:20Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them. 8:21The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 8:22After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
8:23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 8:24"This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting; 8:25and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more, 8:26but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their duties."
9:1Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 9:2"Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season. 9:3On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season-- according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
9:4Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover. 9:5They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did. 9:6There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day. 9:7Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
9:8Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you."
9:9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 9:10"Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh. 9:11In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 9:12They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it. 9:13But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 9:14If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"
9:15On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 9:16So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 9:17Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped. 9:18At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped. 9:19When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, and didn't travel. 9:20Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. 9:21Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled. 9:22Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled. 9:23At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept the charge of Yahweh, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
10:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10:2Make you two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall you make them: and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps. 10:3When they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting. 10:4If they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 10:5When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey. 10:6When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 10:7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 10:8The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations. 10:9When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10:10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yahweh your God. 10:11It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tent of the testimony. 10:12The children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. 10:13They first took their journey according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses. 10:14In the first place the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10:15Over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 10:16Over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 10:17The tent was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tent, set forward. 10:18The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 10:19Over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10:20Over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 10:21The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the others did set up the tent against their coming. 10:22The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 10:23Over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 10:24Over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 10:25The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 10:26Over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 10:27Over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 10:28Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward. 10:29Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, I will give it you: come you with us, and we will do you good; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel. 10:30He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives. 10:31He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes. 10:32It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you. 10:33They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them. 10:34The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 10:35It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate you flee before you. 10:36When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
11:1The people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Yahweh: and when Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahweh burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 11:2The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated. 11:3The name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Yahweh burnt among them. 11:4The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 11:5We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 11:6but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look on. 11:7The manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium. 11:8The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 11:9When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. 11:10Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 11:11Moses said to Yahweh, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 11:12Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing-father carries the sucking child, to the land which you swore to their fathers? 11:13Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. 11:14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 11:15If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. 11:16Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 11:17I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone. 11:18Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you shall eat. 11:19You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 11:20but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 11:21Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 11:22Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 11:23Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall you see whether my word shall happen to you or not. 11:24Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent. 11:25Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. 11:26But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 11:27There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 11:28Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them. 11:29Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? would that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them! 11:30Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 11:31There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth. 11:32The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 11:33While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague. 11:34The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted. 11:35From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
12:1Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. 12:2They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it. 12:3Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth. 12:4Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. They three came out. 12:5Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 12:6He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 12:7My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: 12:8with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses? 12:9The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed. 12:10The cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 12:11Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12:12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb. 12:13Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you. 12:14Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 12:15Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again. 12:16Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 13:2Send you men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, everyone a prince among them. 13:3Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 13:4These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 13:5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 13:6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 13:7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 13:8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 13:9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 13:10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 13:11Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 13:12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13:13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 13:14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 13:15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 13:16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. 13:17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country: 13:18and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; 13:19and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 13:20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. 13:21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 13:22They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 13:23They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 13:24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there. 13:25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. 13:26They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and shown them the fruit of the land. 13:27They told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 13:28However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 13:29Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan. 13:30Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 13:31But the men who went up with him said, We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 13:32They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. 13:33There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
14:1All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 14:2All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness! 14:3Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt? 14:4They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 14:5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 14:6Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes: 14:7and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 14:8If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey. 14:9Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don't fear them. 14:10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel. 14:11Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them? 14:12I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they. 14:13Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them; 14:14and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 14:15Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying, 14:16Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness. 14:17Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying, 14:18Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation. 14:19Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 14:20Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word: 14:21but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh; 14:22because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; 14:23surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it: 14:24but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it. 14:25Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea. 14:26Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 14:27How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 14:28Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you: 14:29your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, 14:30surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 14:31But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. 14:32But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 14:33Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness. 14:34After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation. 14:35I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 14:36The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 14:37even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh. 14:38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land. 14:39Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 14:40They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned. 14:41Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper? 14:42Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies. 14:43For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you. 14:44But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp. 14:45Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
15:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15:2Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, 15:3and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock; 15:4then shall he who offers his offering offer to Yahweh a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil: 15:5and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shall you prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 15:6Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil: 15:7and for the drink-offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 15:8When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings to Yahweh; 15:9then shall he offer with the bull a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil: 15:10and you shall offer for the drink- offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 15:11Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. 15:12According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to everyone according to their number. 15:13All who are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. 15:14If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do. 15:15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh. 15:16One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you. 15:17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15:18Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you, 15:19then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave- offering to Yahweh. 15:20Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing floor, so shall you heave it. 15:21Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a heave-offering throughout your generations. 15:22When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, 15:23even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; 15:24then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, with the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin-offering. 15:25The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin-offering before Yahweh, for their error: 15:26and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. 15:27If one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin-offering. 15:28The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 15:29You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is home-born among the children of Israe
