abcde ___Leviticus chapter 1 1 And the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock. 3 If his offering is a burnt sacrifice from the herd, let him offer a male without blemish, he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. 4 And he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5 And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6 And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces. 7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire, 8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar, 9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water, and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 10 And if his offering is of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. 11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with his head and his fat, and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar, 13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water, and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it on the altar, it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar, and the blood of it shall be wrung out at the side of the altar, 16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and throw it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes, 17 And he shall split it with the wings of it, but shall not divide it in pieces, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire, it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 2 1 "And when anyone wants to offer a meat offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it, 2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests, and he shall take out of it his handful of the flour of it, and of the oil of it, with all the frankincense of it, and the priest shall burn the memorial of it on the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord, 3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons, it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire. 4 And if you bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5 And if your offering is a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil. 6 You shall divide it in pieces, and pour oil on it, it is a meat offering. 7 And if your offering is a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the meat offering that is made of these things to the Lord, and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial of it, and shall burn it on the altar, it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 10 And whatever is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons', it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire. 11 No meat offering, that you shall bring to the Lord, shall be made with leaven, for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire. 12 As for the offering of the first fruits, you shall offer them to the Lord, but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet odor. 13 And every offering of your meat offering shall you season with salt, neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meat offering, with all your offerings you shall offer salt. 14 And if you offer a meat offering of your first fruits to the Lord, you shall offer for the meat offering of your first fruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, corn beaten out of full ears. 15 And you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it, it is a meat offering. 16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn of it, and part of the oil of it, with all the frankincense of it, it is an offering made by fire to the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 3 1 "And if his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether it is a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. 2 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on the altar around it. 3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, that is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. 5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt sacrifice, that is on the wood that is on the fire, it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 6 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7 If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the Lord. 8 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation, and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood of it around it on the altar. 9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord, the fat of it, and the whole rump, he shall take it off hard by the backbone, and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, that is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away. 11 And the priest shall burn it on the altar, it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord. 12 And if his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord. 13 And he shall lay his hand on the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood of it on the altar around it. 14 And he shall offer of it his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, that is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away. 16 And the priest shall burn them on the altar, it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet odor, all the fat is the Lord's. 17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, so that you eat neither fat nor blood." ___Leviticus chapter 4 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things that ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them, 3 If the priest that is anointed sins according to the sin of the people, then let him bring for his sin, that he has sinned, a young bullock without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord, and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the Lord. 5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation, 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, that is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And he shall take off of it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering, the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, that is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away, 10 As it was taken off of the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry out outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire, where the ashes are poured out he shall be burnt. 13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things that shouldn't be done, and are guilty, 14 When the sin, that they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bullock before the Lord, and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord. 16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring some of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation, 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, before the vail. 18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, that is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it on the altar. 20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this, and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 21 And he shall carry the bullock outside the camp, and burn him like he burned the first bullock, it is a sin offering for the congregation. 22 When a ruler has sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things that shouldn't be done, and is guilty, 23 Or if his sin, that he has sinned, comes to his knowledge, he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish, 24 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord, it is a sin offering. 25 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall burn all his fat on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. 27 And if anyone of the common people sins through ignorance, while he does something against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things that ought not to be done, and be guilty, 28 Or if his sin, that he has sinned, comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin that he has sinned. 29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 30 And the priest shall take some of the blood of it with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood of it at the bottom of the altar. 31 And he shall take away all the fat of it, like the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet odor to the Lord, and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 32 And if he brings a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. 33 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. 34 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood of it at the bottom of the altar, 35 And he shall take away all the fat of it, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall burn them on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord, and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him." ___Leviticus chapter 5 1 "And if a soul sins, and hears the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it, if he doesn't tell it, then he shall bear his sin. 2 Or if a soul touches any unclean thing, whether it is a carcass of an unclean animal, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and if it is hidden from him, he also shall be unclean, and guilty. 3 Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it is that a man shall be defiled with, and it is hidden from him, when he knows about it, then he shall be guilty. 4 Or if a soul swears, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it is hidden from him, when he knows about it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing, 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin that he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. 7 And if he's not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, that he has committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the Lord, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from his neck, but shall not divide it in pieces, 9 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar, it is a sin offering. 10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner, and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin that he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 11 But if he's not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering, he shall put no oil on it, nor shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 12 Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord, it is a sin offering. 13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him, and the remainder shall be the priest's, as a meat offering. 14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 15 If a soul commits a trespass, and sins through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord, then he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering, 16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he has done in the holy thing, and shall add twenty percent to it, and give it to the priest, and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. 17 And if a soul sins, and commits any of these things that are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he didn't know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his sin. 18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest, and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance in which he erred and didn't know it, and it shall be forgiven him. 19 It is a trespass offering, he has certainly trespassed against the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 6 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "If a soul sins, and commits a trespass against the Lord, and lies to his neighbor about what was delivered to him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or has deceived his neighbor, 3 Or has found that which was lost, and lies concerning it, and swears falsely, in any of all these that a man does, sinning in it, 4 Then it shall be, because he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he has deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered to him to keep, or the lost thing that he found, 5 Or all that about which he has sworn falsely, he shall restore it in the principal, and shall add twenty percent more to it, and give it to him to whom it pertains, in the day of his trespass offering. 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest, 7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he has done in trespassing in it. 8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering, It is the burnt offering, because of the burning on the altar all night to the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen pants he shall put on his flesh, and take up the ashes that the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 And the fire on the altar shall be burning in it, it shall not be put out, and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it, and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 13 The fire shall always be burning on the altar, it shall never go out. 14 And this is the law of the meat offering, the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar. 15 And he shall take from it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil of it, and all the frankincense that is on the meat offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet odor, even the memorial of it, to the Lord. 16 And the remainder of it shall Aaron and his sons eat, with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of my offerings made by fire, it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. 18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, every one that touches them shall be holy. 19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, that they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed, one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half of it at night. 21 In a pan it shall be made with oil, and when it is baked, you shall bring it in, and the baked pieces of the meat offering you shall offer for a sweet odor to the Lord. 22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed instead of him shall offer it, it is a statute forever to the Lord, it shall be completely burnt. 23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be completely burnt, it shall not be eaten. 24 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering, In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord, it is most holy. 26 The priest that offers it for sin shall eat it, in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. 27 Whatever touches the flesh of it shall be holy, and when there is sprinkled some of the blood of it on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place. 28 But the clay pot in which it was sodden shall be broken, and if it is sodden in a brass pot, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 All the males among the priests shall eat of it, it is most holy. 30 And no sin offering, from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to remove sin with in the holy place, shall be eaten, it shall be burnt in the fire." ___Leviticus chapter 7 1 "Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering, it is most holy. 2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering, and the blood of it shall he sprinkle around on the altar. 3 And he shall offer of it all the fat of it, the rump, and the fat that covers the inwards, 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, that is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away, 5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord, it is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the priests shall eat of it, it shall be eaten in the holy place, it is most holy. 7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering, there is one law for them, the priest that makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 And the priest that offers any man's burnt offering, the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered. 9 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offers it. 10 And every meat offering, mixed with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, equal shares. 11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that he shall offer to the Lord. 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil, of fine flour, fried. 13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole offering for a heave offering to the Lord, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered, he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day also the remainder of it shall be eaten, 17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. 18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him that offers it, it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eats of it shall bear his sin. 19 And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten, it shall be burnt with fire, and as for the flesh, all that are clean shall eat of it. 20 But the soul that eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the Lord, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 21 Also the soul that touches any unclean thing, like the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the Lord, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, you shall eat no kind of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 24 And the fat of the animal that dies by itself, and the fat of that which is torn by animals, may be used in any other use, but you shall in no way eat it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26 Also you shall eat no kind of blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whatever soul it is that eats any kind of blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast, he shall bring it, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord. 31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. 32 And the right shoulder shall you give to the priest for a heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. 34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder I have taken from the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Israel." 35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the Lord in the priest's office, 36 Which the Lord commanded to be given them from the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations. 37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, 38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai. ___Leviticus chapter 8 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread, 3 And gather all the congregation together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." 4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the assembly was gathered together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5 And Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing that the Lord commanded to be done." 6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7 And he put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him, and he clothed him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and tied it to him with it. 8 And he put the breastplate on him, also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 9 And he put the priest's hat on his head, also on the priest's hat, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 11 And he sprinkled from it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its containers, both the wash basin and his base, to sanctify them. 12 And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats on them, and clothed them with girdles, and put hats on them, as the Lord commanded Moses. 14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bullock for the sin offering. 15 And he killed it, and Moses took the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar around it with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make peace with God on it. 16 And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it on the altar. 17 But the bullock, and its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses. 18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19 And he killed it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar around it. 20 And he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar, it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet odor, and an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. 22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23 And he killed it, and Moses took some of the blood of it, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar around it. 25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder, 26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and on the right shoulder, 27 And he put all of it on Aaron's hands, and on his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord. 28 And Moses took them off their hands, and burnt them on the altar on the burnt offering, they were consecrations for a sweet odor, it is an offering made by fire to the Lord. 29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord, for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part, as the Lord commanded Moses. 30 And Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. 31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 32 And that which remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 33 And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration have ended, for seven days shall he consecrate you. 34 As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 35 Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, so you don't die, for so I've been commanded. 36 So Aaron and his sons did all things that the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. ___Leviticus chapter 9 1 And on the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel, 2 And he said to Aaron, "Take a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 3 And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering, 4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and a meat offering mixed with oil, for to day the Lord will appear to you." 5 And they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the congregation came near and stood before the Lord. 6 And Moses said, "This is the thing that the Lord commanded that you should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appear to you." 7 And Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make an atonement for yourself, and for the people, and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord commanded." 8 Aaron therefore went to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, that was for himself. 9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar, 10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burned on the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 And the flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. 12 And he killed the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, that he sprinkled around it on the altar. 13 And they presented the burnt offering to him, with the pieces of it, and the head, and he burned them on the altar. 14 And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar. 15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, that was the sin offering for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first. 16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner. 17 And he brought the meat offering, and took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 18 He killed also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, that was for the people, and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar around it, 19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that that covers the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver, 20 And they put the fat on the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar, 21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses commanded. 22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24 And a fire came out from before the Lord, and consumed on the altar the burnt offering and the fat, which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. ___Leviticus chapter 10 1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he didn't command them to do. 2 And fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified." And Aaron kept quiet. 4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, "Come near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp." 5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said. 6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, "Don't uncover your heads, nor tear your clothes, so you don't die, and so anger doesn't come on all the people, but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled. 7 And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, so you don't die, for the anointing oil of the Lord is on you." And they did according to the word of Moses. 8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, 9 "Don't drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, so you don't die, it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, 10 And so that you'll put a difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean, 11 And so that you'll teach the children of Israel all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses." 12 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, "Take the meat offering that remains of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, for it is most holy, 13 And you shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your due, and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, for so I've been commanded. 14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you, for they are your due, and your sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, by a statute forever, as the Lord has commanded." 16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, see, it was burnt, and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying, 17 "Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God has given it you to carry the sin of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord? 18 See, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place, you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded." 19 And Aaron said to Moses, "See, this day they've offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and such things have happened to me, and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, would it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?" 20 And when Moses heard that, he was satisfied. ___Leviticus chapter 11 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals that you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3 Whatever has a divided hoof, and is split footed, and chews the cud, among the animals, you can eat. 4 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof, like the camel, because it chews the cud, but doesn't have a divided hoof, it is unclean to you. 5 And the coney, because it chews the cud, but doesn't have a divided hoof, it is unclean to you. 6 And the hare, because it chews the cud, but doesn't divide the hoof, it is unclean to you. 7 And the swine, though it has a divided hoof, and be split footed, yet it doesn't chew the cud, it is unclean to you. 8 You shall not eat of their flesh , and their carcass you shall not touch, they are unclean to you. 9 These you shall eat of all that are in the waters, whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, those you shall eat. 10 And all that don't have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing that is in the waters, they shall be garbage to you, 11 They shall be garbage to you, you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall hate their dead bodies. 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be garbage to you. 13 And these are those that you shall have as garbage among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are garbage, the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 14 And the vulture, and the kite after its kind, 15 Every raven after its kind, 16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after its kind, 17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19 And the stork, the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 20 All birds that creep, going on all four, shall be garbage to you. 21 Yet these you can eat of every flying creeping thing that goes on all four, that have legs above their feet, to jump with on the earth, 22 These you can eat, the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind. 23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be garbage to you. 24 And for these you shall be unclean, whoever touches the dead body of them shall be unclean until evening. 25 And whoever carries any of the dead bodies of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. 26 The dead bodies of every animal that has a divided hoof, and is not split footed, and doesn't chew the cud, are unclean to you, everyone that touches them shall be unclean. 27 And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you, whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he that carries the dead body of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening, they are unclean to you. 29 These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, 30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31 These are unclean to you among all that creep, whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until evening. 32 And on whatever any of them, when they are dead, falls, it shall be unclean, whether it's any container of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever container it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until evening, so it shall be cleansed. 33 And every clay pot, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. 34 Of all food that can be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean, and all drink that can be drunk in every such container shall be unclean. 35 And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean, whether it is oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down, for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 But a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but that which touches their dead body shall be unclean. 37 And if any part of their dead body falls on any planting seed which is to be planted, it shall be clean. 38 But if any water has been put on the seed, and any part of their carcass falls on it, it shall be unclean to you. 39 And if any animal, of which you can eat, dies, he that touches the dead body of it shall be unclean until evening. 40 And he that eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening, he also that carries the dead body of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. 41 And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be seen as garbage, it shall not be eaten. 42 Whatever goes on the belly, and whatever goes on all four, or whatever has more feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth, those you shall not eat, for they are garbage. 43 You shall not make yourselves polluted with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you're defiled with them. 44 For I am the Lord your God, you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy, for I am holy, neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 45 For I am the Lord that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This is the law of the animals, and of the birds, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, 47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that can be eaten and the animal that can't be eaten." ___Leviticus chapter 12 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived seed, and given birth to a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying thirty three days, she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying have been fulfilled. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation, and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying sixty six days. 6 And when the days of her purifying have been fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, 7 Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that has given birth to a male or a female. 8 And if she's not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean." ___Leviticus chapter 13 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 "When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it's in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests, 3 And the priest shall look at the plague in the skin of the flesh, and when the hair in the plague has turned white, and the plague in sight is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy, and the priest shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean. 4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight is not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it hasn't turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague seven days, 5 And the priest shall look at him the seventh day, and, see, if the plague in his sight has stopped, and the plague hasn't spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more, 6 And the priest shall look at him again the seventh day, and, see, if the plague is somewhat dark, and the plague hasn't spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean, it is just a scab, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 7 But if the scab has spread a lot in the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again, 8 And if the priest sees that the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest, 10 And the priest shall see him, and if the rising is white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is quick raw flesh in the rising, 11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. 12 And if a leprosy breaks out in the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of him that has the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looks, 13 Then the priest shall consider, and, see, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that has the plague, it has all turned white, he is clean. 14 But when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean, for the raw flesh is unclean, it is a leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and has changed to white, he shall come to the priest, 17 And the priest shall see him, and if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that has the plague, he is clean. 18 The flesh also, in which, in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed, 19 And in place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and a little reddish, and it is shown to the priest, 20 And if, when the priest sees it, it is in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. 21 But if the priest looks at it, and there are no white hairs in it, and if it's not lower than the skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days, 22 And if it spreads much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a plague. 23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and doesn't spread, it is a burning boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 24 Or, if there is any flesh, in the skin of which there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burns has a white bright spot, a little reddish, or white, 25 Then the priest shall look on it, and if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it is in sight deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy broken out of the burning, so the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest looks at it, and there's no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the other skin, but be a little dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days, 27 And the priest shall look at him the seventh day, and if it has spread a lot in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy. 28 And if the bright spot stays in its place, and doesn't spread in the skin, but is a little dark, it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is an inflammation of the burning. 29 If a man or woman has a plague on the head or the beard, 30 Then the priest shall see the plague, and if it's in sight deeper than the skin, and there is in it a yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a dry scall, a leprosy on the head or beard. 31 And if the priest looks at the plague of the scall, and it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and if there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague of the scall seven days, 32 And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the plague, and if the scall doesn't spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall is not in sight deeper than the skin, 33 He shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the scall, and the priest shall shut up him that has the scall seven days more, 34 And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scall, and if the scall hasn't spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 35 But if the scall has spread much in the skin after his cleansing, 36 Then the priest shall look at him, and, see, if the scall has spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair, he is unclean. 37 But if the scall has stopped in his sight, and black hair has grown up in it, the scall has healed, he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 38 If a man also or a woman has in the skin of their flesh white bright spots, 39 Then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh are darkish white, it is a freckled spot that grows in the skin, he is clean. 40 And the man whose hair has fallen off his head, he is bald, yet he is clean. 41 And he that has his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald, yet he is clean. 42 And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore, it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall look at it, and if the rising of the sore is white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears in the skin of the flesh, 44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean, the priest shall pronounce him completely unclean, his plague is in his head. 45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering on his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46 All the days in which the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled, he is unclean, he shall live alone, his habitation shall be outside the camp. 47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it's a wool garment, or a linen garment, 48 Whether it's in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of wool, whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin, 49 And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest, 50 And the priest shall look at the plague, and shut up whoever has the plague seven days, 51 And he shall look at the plague on the seventh day, if the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin, the plague is a fretting leprosy, it is unclean. 52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is, for it is a fretting leprosy, it shall be burnt in the fire. 53 And if the priest shall look, and the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, 54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more, 55 And the priest shall look at the plague, after it's been washed, and, see, if the plague has not changed its color, and the plague has not spread, it is unclean, you shall burn it in the fire, it has fret inward, whether it's bare inside or outside. 56 And if the priest looks, and the plague is somewhat dark after it's been washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof, 57 And if it still appears in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a spreading plague, you shall burn the thing in which the plague is with fire. 58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, that you shall wash, if the plague has gone from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean. 59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean." ___Leviticus chapter 14 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing, He shall be brought to the priest, 3 And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look, and if the plague of leprosy has healed in the leper, 4 Then shall the priest command to take for the person that is to be cleansed two clean, living birds, and cedar wood, and red cloth, and hyssop, 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in clay pot over running water, 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the red cloth, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water, 7 And he shall sprinkle on him that is to be cleansed from leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, so he'll be clean, and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall wait outside out of his tent seven days. 9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 10 And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one female lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. 11 And the priest that makes him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord, 13 And he shall kill the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place, for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering, it is most holy, 14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, 15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand, 16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord, 17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering, 18 And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour on the head of him that is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord. 19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering, 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering on the altar, and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 21 And if he is poor, and can't get so much, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mixed with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil, 22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get, and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord. 24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord, 25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, 26 And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, 27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord, 28 And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering, 29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord. 30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get, 31 Such as he is able to get, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord. 32 This is the law of him that has the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertains to his cleansing." 33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 34 "When you've come into the land of Canaan, that I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession, 35 And he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'It seems to me there is like a plague in the house,' 36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to see the plague, so that all that is in the house isn't made unclean, and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house, 37 And he shall look at the plague, and if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall, 38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days, 39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look, and, see, if the plague has spread in the walls of the house, 40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall throw them into an unclean place outside the city, 41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside all around, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place, 42 And they shall take other stones, and put them instead of those stones, and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. 43 And if the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it has been plastered, 44 Then the priest shall come and look, and if the plague has spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house, it is unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the wood of it, and all the mortar of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place. 46 Also he that goes into the house all the while that it was shut up shall be unclean until evening. 47 And he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes, and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes. 48 And if the priest shall come in, and look at it, and the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague has been healed. 49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and red cloth, and hyssop, 50 And he shall kill one of the birds in an clay pot over running water, 51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the red cloth, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the killed bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times, 52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the red cloth, 53 But he shall let the living bird go outside the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. 54 This is the law for all kinds of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, 57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean, this is the law of leprosy." ___Leviticus chapter 15 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue, whether his flesh runs with his issue, or his flesh has stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed, on which he that has the issue lies, is unclean, and everything on which he sits, shall be unclean. 5 And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 6 And he that sits on anything on which he sat that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 7 And he that touches the flesh of him that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 8 And if he that has the issue spits on him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 9 And whatever saddle he rides on that has the issue shall be unclean. 10 And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening, and he that carries any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 11 And whomever he touches that has the issue, and hasn't rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 12 And the clay pot, that he touches who has the issue, shall be broken, and every container of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he that has an issue is cleansed from his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 14 And on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to the priest, 15 And the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord for his issue. 16 And if any man's seed of copulation goes out of him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening. 17 And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. 18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until evening. 19 And if a woman has an issue, and her issue in her flesh is blood, she shall be put apart seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. 20 And everything that she lies on in her separation shall be unclean, everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. 21 And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 22 And whosoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 23 And if it is on her bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. 24 And if any man lies with her at all, and her flowers are on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and all the bed on which he lies shall be unclean. 25 And if a woman has blood going out of her many days out of the time of her separation, or if it runs beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be like the days of her separation, she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her like the bed of her separation, and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, like the uncleanness of her separation. 27 And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening. 28 But if she is cleansed from her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the Lord for the flow of her uncleanness. 31 Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so that they don't die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. 32 This is the law of him that has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him, and is defiled by it, 33 And of her that is sick of her menstrual fluids, and of him that has a flow, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean." ___Leviticus chapter 16 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died, 2 And the Lord said to Moses, "Speak to Aaron your brother, that he shouldn't come just any time into the holy place inside the vail before the mercy seat, that is on the ark, so that he doesn't die, for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat. 3 Thus Aaron shall come into the holy place, with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen pants on his flesh, and shall be clothed with a linen girdle, and he shall be attired with the linen priest's hat, these are holy garments, therefore he shall wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And Aaron shall draw straws for the two goats, one straw for the Lord, and the other straw for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. 10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. 11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering that is for himself, 12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it inside the vail, 13 And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, so that the cloud of the incense will cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so he doesn't die. 14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat eastward, and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. 15 Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring its blood inside the vail, and do with that blood like he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat, 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins, and he shall do like that for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remains among them among their uncleanness. 17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goes in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he comes out, and has made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. 18 And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bullock, and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar around it. 19 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. 20 And when he has made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat, 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the sins of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness, 22 And the goat shall carry on him all their sins to a land not inhabited, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness. 23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, that he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there, 24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come out, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. 25 And he shall burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar. 26 And he that let the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. 27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall someone carry outside the camp, and they shall burn their skins in the fire, and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And he that burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 29 And this shall be a statute forever to you, that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it is one of your own country, or a stranger that is a visitor among you, 30 For on that day the priest shall make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, so that you'll be clean from all your sins before the Lord. 31 It shall be a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls, by a statute forever. 32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office instead of his father, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments, 33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. 34 And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year." And he did as the Lord commanded Moses. ___Leviticus chapter 17 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, This is the thing that the Lord has has commanded, saying, 3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, that kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kills it outside of the camp, 4 And doesn't bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord, blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his people, 5 So that the children of Israel will bring their sacrifices that they offer in the open field, so that they'll bring them to the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them for peace offerings to the Lord. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet odor to the Lord. 7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to devils, after whom they have gone whoring. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations. 8 And you shall say to them, Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who are visiting among you, that offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 And doesn't bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the Lord, that man shall be cut off from among his people. 10 And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that are visitors among you, that eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make an atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger that visits among you eat blood. 13 And whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that's a visitor among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that can be eaten, he shall pour out the blood of it, and cover it with dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh, the blood of it is for the life of it, therefore I said to the children of Israel, you shall eat the blood of no kind of flesh, for the life of all flesh is the blood of it, whoever eats it shall be cut off. 15 And every soul that eats that which died of itself, or that which was torn by animals, whether it is one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening, then he shall be clean. 16 But if he doesn't wash them, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his sin." ___Leviticus chapter 18 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am the Lord your God. 3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, where you lived, you shall not do, and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, you shall not do, nor shall you walk in their ordinances. 4 You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them, I am the Lord your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments, which if a man does, he shall live in them, I am the Lord. 6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness, I am the Lord. 7 The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, you shall not uncover, she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of your father's wife you shall not uncover, it is your father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she is born at home, or born somewhere else, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 The nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover, for theirs is your own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten by your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, she is your father's near kinswoman. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near kinswoman. 14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach to his wife, she is your aunt. 15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law, she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife, it is your brother's nakedness. 17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness, for they are her near kinswomen, it is wickedness. 18 Nor shall you take a wife that is your wife's sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime. 19 Also you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20 Also you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 And you shall not let any of your children pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God, I am the Lord. 22 Men shall not lie with men like with women, it is abomination. 23 Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself with them, nor shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down before it, it is confusion. 24 Don't defile yourselves in any of these things, for in all these the nations have been defiled that I threw out before you, 25 And the land is defiled, so I visit the sin of it on it, and the land itself vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, nor any of your own nation, nor any stranger that visits among you, 27 (For all these abominations the men of the land have done, that were before you, and the land is defiled,) 28 So that the land doesn't vomit you out also, when you defile it, like it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep my ordinances, so that you don't commit any of these abominable customs, that were committed before you, and so that you don't defile yourselves in them, I am the Lord your God." ___Leviticus chapter 19 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. 3 You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my Sabbaths, I am the Lord your God. 4 Don't turn to idols, nor make for yourselves gods by melting metal, I am the Lord your God. 5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it at your own will. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day, and if any of it remains until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is dirty, it shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore everyone that eats it shall bear his sin, because he has profaned a holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard, you shall leave them for the poor and stranger, I am the Lord your God. 11 You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, nor lie to each other. 12 And you shall not swear by my name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God, I am the Lord. 13 You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him, the wages of him that is hired shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God, I am the Lord. 15 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty, but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go up and down as a tale bearer among your people, nor shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor, I am the Lord. 17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart, you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, and not allow sin on him. 18 You shall not avenge, nor carry any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor like yourself, I am the Lord. 19 You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle mate with a different kind, you shall not plant your field with mixed seed, nor shall a garment mixed of linen and wool come on you. 20 And whoever lies carnally with a woman that is a bondmaid, engaged to a man, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her, she shall be scourged, they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin that he has, and he shall be forgiven for the sin that he has done. 23 And when you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of it as uncircumcised, three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you, it shall not be eaten. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy to praise the Lord with. 25 And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit of it, so that it will yield to you the increase of it, I am the Lord your God. 26 You shall not eat anything with the blood, neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times. 27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, nor shall you mar the corners of your beard. 28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on yourselves, I am the Lord. 29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore, so the land doesn't fall to whoredom, and so it doesn't become full of wickedness. 30 You shall keep my Sabbaths, and respect my sanctuary, I am the Lord. 31 Don't regard those who have familiar spirits, and don't seek after wizards, to be made dirty by them, I am the Lord your God. 32 You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear your God, I am the Lord. 33 And if a stranger visits with you in your land, you shall not harass him. 34 But the stranger that lives with you shall be to you as someone born among you, and you shall love him like yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt, I am the Lord your God. 35 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in weight, or in measuring. 36 You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin, I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore you shall observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them, I am the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 20 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, 'Whoever he is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that visit in Israel, that gives any of his children to Molech, he shall surely be put to death, the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his children to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his children to Molech, and don't kill him, 5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 6 And the soul that turns after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go whoring after them, I will set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Make yourselves holy therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. 8 And you shall keep my statutes, and do them, I am the Lord who makes you holy. 9 For everyone that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death, he has cursed his father or his mother, his blood shall be on himself. 10 And the man that commits adultery with another man's wife, with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man that lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness, both of them shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be on themselves. 12 And if a man lies with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death, they have worked confusion, their blood shall be on themselves. 13 If a man also lies with mankind, like they lie with a woman, both of them have committed a filthy deed, they shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be on them. 14 And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness, they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they, so that there is no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the beast. 16 And if a woman approaches to any beast, and lies down at it, you shall kill the woman, and the beast, they shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be on themselves. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a wicked thing, and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people, he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, he shall carry his sin. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness, he has discovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood, and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister, for he uncovers his near kin, they shall bear their sin. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness, they shall bear their sin, they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing, he has uncovered his brother's nakedness, they shall be childless. 22 You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them, so that the land, where I bring you to live there, doesn't vomit you out. 23 And you shall not walk in the ways of the nation, that I threw out before you, for they committed all these things, and therefore I hated them. 24 But I have said to you, you shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey, I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from other people. 25 You shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean, and you shall not make your souls dirty by beast, or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, that I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And you shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from other people, so that you would be mine. 27 A man also or woman that has a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death, they shall stone them with stones, their blood shall be on themselves." ___Leviticus chapter 21 1 And the Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and say to them, No one shall be defiled for the dead among his people, 2 But for his kin, that is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3 And for his sister a virgin, that is close to him, who has had no husband, for her may he be defiled. 4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall not make baldness on their head, nor shall shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they offer, therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane, neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy to his God. 8 You shall sanctify him therefore, for he offers the bread of your God, he shall be holy to you, for I the Lord, who sanctifies you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father, she shall be burnt with fire. 10 And he that is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor tear his clothes, 11 Nor shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother, 12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God, for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is on him, I am the Lord. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or a prostitute, these shall he not take, but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife. 15 Nor shall he profane his children among his people, for I the Lord sanctify him. 16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he is of your seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not approach, a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or anything extra, 19 Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed, 20 Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken, 21 No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire, he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23 Only he shall not go in to the vail, nor come near the altar, because he has a blemish, so that he doesn't profane my sanctuaries, for I the Lord sanctify them. 24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel." ___Leviticus chapter 22 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they don't profane my holy name in the things that they make holy to me, I am the Lord. 3 Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed among your generations, that goes to the holy things, that the children of Israel hallow to the Lord, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence, I am the Lord. 4 Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a fluid going from him, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he's clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him, 5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he becomes unclean, or a man from whom he can catch uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has, 6 The soul that has touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he washes his flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his food. 8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat to defile himself with it, I am the Lord. 9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, so they don't carry sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it, I the Lord sanctify them. 10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing, a visitor of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if the priest buys any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house, they shall eat of his food. 12 If the priest's daughter also is married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if the priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food, but no stranger shall eat of it. 14 And if a man eats of a holy thing unknowingly, then he shall add twenty percent to it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that they offer to the Lord, 16 Or allow them to carry the sin of trespass, when they eat their holy things, for I the Lord make them holy. 17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all his vows, and for all his free will offerings, that they will offer to the Lord for a burnt offering, 19 You shall offer of your own free will, a male without blemish, of the beef, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatever has a blemish, you shall not offer, since it won't be acceptable for you. 21 And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill his vow, or a free will offering in beef or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted, there shall be no blemish in it. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the Lord. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that has any extra parts or any missing parts, you can offer it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it won't be accepted. 24 You shall not offer to the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, nor shall you make any offering of it in your land. 25 Nor from a stranger's hand shall you offer the bread of your God from any of these, because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them, they shall not be accepted for you. 26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall be seven days under its mother, and from the eighth day and from then on, it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the Lord. 28 And whether it is a cow or female sheep, you shall not kill it and its young both on the same day. 29 And when you want to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it at your own will. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up, you shall leave none of it until the next day, I am the Lord. 31 Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them, I am the Lord. 32 Nor shall you profane my holy name, but I will be holy among the children of Israel, I am the Lord who makes you holy, 33 Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, I am the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 23 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, that you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation, you shall do no work in it, it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. 4 These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, that you shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the Lord's Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the Lord, seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work in it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord seven days, in the seventh day is a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work in it. 9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you've come into the land that I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest, 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you, on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the Lord. 13 And the meat offering of it shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet odor, and the drink offering of it shall be of wine, one fourth of a hin. 14 And you shall eat no bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God, it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 15 And you shall count for yourselves from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven Sabbaths shall be complete, 16 Until the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days, and you shall offer a new meat offering to the Lord. 17 You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals, they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, they are the first fruits to the Lord. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams, they shall be for a burnt offering to the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, of sweet odor to the Lord. 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs, they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day, so it will be a holy convocation to you, you shall do no servile work in it, it shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely clean the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning of your harvest, you shall leave them for the poor, and for the stranger, I am the Lord your God. 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no servile work in it, but you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. 26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement, it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. 28 And you shall do no work on that day, for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 For whatever soul it is that shall not be afflicted on that day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30 And whatever soul it is that does any work on that day, the same soul I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no kind of work, it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls, on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening until evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath." 33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work in it. 36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, it is a solemn assembly, and you shall do no servile work in it. 37 These are the feasts of the Lord, that you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything on its day, 38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord. 39 Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days, on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the boughs of good trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41 And you shall keep it a feast to the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations, you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall live in booths seven days, all that are Israelites born shall live in booths, 43 So that your generations will know that I made the children of Israel to live in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I am the Lord your God. 44 And Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord." ___Leviticus chapter 24 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Outside the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, Aaron shall order it from the evening to the morning before the Lord continually, it shall be a statute forever in your generations. 4 He shall order the lamps on the pure candlestick before the Lord continually. 5 And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it, two tenth deals shall be in one cake. 6 And you shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure table before the Lord. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, so it will be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 8 He shall set it in order every Sabbath before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons', and they shall eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute. 10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel, and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel fought together in the camp, 11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses, (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan,) 12 And they put him in jail, so the mind of the Lord would be showed to them. 13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 Bring him out that has cursed outside the camp, and let all that heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 And he that blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him, as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. 17 And he that kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18 And he that kills a beast shall make it good, beast for beast. 19 And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him, 20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done back to him. 21 And he that kills a beast, he shall restore it, and he that kills a man, he shall be put to death. 22 You shall have one kind of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country, for I am the Lord your God. 23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should bring him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses." ___Leviticus chapter 25 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord. 3 Six years you shall plant your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit of it, 4 But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest to the land, a Sabbath for the Lord, you shall neither plant your field, nor prune your vineyard. 5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed, for it is a year of rest to the land. 6 And the Sabbath of the land shall be food for you, for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that is visiting with you, 7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase of it be food. 8 And you shall number seven Sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years, and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty and nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement you shall make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants of it, it shall be a jubilee to you, and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you, you shall not plant, nor reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubilee, it shall be holy to you, you shall eat the increase of it out of the field. 13 In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy anything of your neighbor's hand, you shall not oppress each other, 15 According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to you, 16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it, for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell to you. 17 You shall not therefore oppress each other, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God. 18 So you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them, and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety. 20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? See, we shall not plant, nor gather in our increase, 21 Then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22 And you shall plant the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year, until its fruits come in you shall eat of the old store. 23 The land shall not be sold forever, for the land is mine, for you are strangers and visitors with me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If your brother has grown poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his relatives come to redeem it, then he shall redeem that which his brother sold. 26 And if the man has no one to redeem it, and he himself is able to redeem it, 27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the excess to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he is not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubilee, and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession. 29 And if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he can redeem it within a whole year after it is sold, within a full year he can redeem it. 30 And if it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations, it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the country, they can be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 32 Nevertheless, the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites can redeem at any time. 33 And if a man buys from the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities can't be sold, for it is their perpetual possession. 35 And if your brother has grown poor, and fallen in decay with you, then you shall relieve him, yes, though he be a stranger, or a visitor, so that he can live with you. 36 Don't take interest from him, or increase, but fear your God, so that your brother can live with you. 37 You shall not give him your money at interest, nor lend him your food for increase. 38 I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 39 And if your brother that lives by you has grown poor, and has been sold to you, you shall not compel him to serve like a bond servant, 40 But as a hired servant, and as a visitor, he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the year of jubile, 41 And then he shall depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers he shall return. 42 For they are my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt, they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43 You shall not rule over him with rigor, but shall fear your God. 44 Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, that you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are around you, you shall buy bondmen and bondmaids of them. 45 Also of the children of the strangers that are visitors among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, that they begot in your land, and they shall be your possession. 46 And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession, they shall be your bondmen forever, but over your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over each other with rigor. 47 And if a visitor or stranger grows rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him grows poor, and sells himself to the stranger or visitor by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family, 48 After he has been sold he can be redeemed again, one of his brothers can redeem him, 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family can redeem him, or if he is able, he can redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee, and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him. 51 If there are yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52 And if few years remain to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53 And as a yearly hired servant he shall be with him, and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight. 54 And if he has not been redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. 55 For to me the children of Israel are servants, they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, I am the Lord your God." ___Leviticus chapter 26 1 "You shall make for yourselves no idols nor graven image, nor rear up a standing image, nor shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God. 2 You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary, I am the Lord. 3 If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them, 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the planting time, and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid, and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10 And you shall eat old store, and bring out the old because of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not hate you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people. 13 I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you wouldn't be their bondmen, and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14 But if you won't listen to me, and won't do all these commandments, 15 And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul hates my judgments, so that you won't do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant, 16 I also will do this to you, I will appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart, and you shall plant your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and you shall be killed before your enemies, they that hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when none pursues you. 18 And if you still won't for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass, 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21 And if you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild beasts among you, that shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be desolate. 23 And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me, 24 Then I will also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword on you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant, and when you are gathered together in your cities, I will send the pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and you shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27 And if for all this you still won't listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28 Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury, and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and throw your dead bodies on the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul shall hate you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell your sweet odors. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies that dwell in it shall be astonished at it. 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you are in your enemies' land, then shall the land rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when you lived on it. 36 And up those who are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 And they shall fall on each other, as it were before a sword, when none pursues, and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those who are left of you shall pine away in their sin in your enemies' lands, and also in the sins of their fathers they shall pine away with them. 40 If they shall confess their sin, and the sin of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me, 41 And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies, if then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their sin, 42 Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham I will remember, and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its Sabbaths, while it lies desolate without them, and they shall accept of the punishment of their sin, because, because they despised my judgments, and because their soul hated my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not throw them away, nor will I hate them, to destroy them completely, and to break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, so that I would be their God, I am the Lord. 46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, that the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses." ___Leviticus chapter 27 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by your estimation. 3 And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if it is a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if it is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it is from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 And if it is from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he is poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him, according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. 9 And if it is a beast, of which men bring an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good, and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange of it shall be holy. 11 And if it is any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest, 12 And the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad, as you value it, who is the priest, so shall it be. 13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add twenty percent of it to your estimation. 14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad, as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add twenty percent of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify to the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed of it, a homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand. 18 But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from your estimation. 19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any way redeem it, then he shall add twenty percent of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him. 20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore. 21 But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a field devoted, the possession of it shall be the priest's. 22 And if a man sanctifies to the Lord a field that he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, 23 Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation, to the year of the jubile, and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the Lord. 24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. 25 And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it, whether it is ox, or sheep, it is the Lord's. 27 And if it is of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add twenty percent to it, or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation. 28 But, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the Lord of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed, every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord. 29 None devoted, that shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death. 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's, it is holy to the Lord. 31 And if a man will at all redeem any of his tithes, he shall add to it twenty percent of it. 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord. 33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he change it, and if he changes it at all, then both it and the change of it shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the commandments, that the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai." ___Numbers chapter 1 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 "Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls, 3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go out to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe, everyone head of the house of his fathers. 5 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you, of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur. 6 Of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 Of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 8 Of Issachar, Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 9 Of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon. 10

heads of thousands in Israel. 17 And Moses and Aaron took these men that are mentioned by their names, 18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and older, by their polls. 19 As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the

thousand five hundred. 22 Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names,

seventy four thousand six hundred. 28 Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and older, all that were able to go out to war, 29 Those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty four thousand four hundred. 30 Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and older, all that were able to go out to war, 31 Those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty seven thousand four hundred. 32 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and older, all that were able to go out to war, 33 Those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred. 34 Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and

thousand four hundred. 44 These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men, each one was for the house of his fathers. 45 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and older, all that were able to go out to war in Israel, 46 All of those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. 47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 48 For the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying, 49 Only you shall not number the tribe of Levi, nor take the sum of them among the children of Israel, 50 But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the containers of it, and over all things that belong to it, they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the containers of it, and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up, and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death. 52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. 53 But the Levites shall pitch around the tabernacle of testimony, so there won't be any wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel, and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony." 54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, that's what they did. ___Numbers chapter 2 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the flag of their father's house, far off around the tabernacle of the congregation they shall pitch. 3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall those of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies, and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. 4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were seventy four thousand six hundred. 5 And those that pitch next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar. 6 And his host, and those that were numbered of it, were fifty four thousand four hundred. 7 Then the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun. 8 And his host, and those that were numbered of it, were fifty seven thousand four hundred. 9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were one hundred eighty six thousand four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall go out first. 10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies, and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered of it, were forty six thousand five hundred. 12 And those who pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty nine thousand three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad, and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty five thousand six hundred fifty. 16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were one hundred fifty one thousand four hundred fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall go out in the second rank. 17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camp, as they encamp, so they shall set forward, every man in his place by their standards. 18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies, and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred. 20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty two thousand two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin, and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty five thousand four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred eight thousand one hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank. 25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies, and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were sixty two thousand seven hundred. 27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. 28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty one thousand five hundred. 29 Then the tribe of Naphtali, and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty three thousand four hundred. 31 All of those who were numbered in the camp of Dan were one hundred fifty seven thousand six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards." 32 These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers, all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses. 34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, everyone after their families, according to the house of their fathers. ___Numbers chapter 3 1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses on the day that the Lord spoke with Moses in mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron, Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children, and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father. 5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, so that they can minister to him. 7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons, they are completely given to him out of the children of Israel. 10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office, and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death." 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "And I, see, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that open the womb among the children of Israel, therefore the Levites shall be mine, 13 Because all the firstborn are mine, for on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed un me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast, mine shall they be, I am the Lord." 14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15 "Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families, you shall number every male from a month old and older." 16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded. 17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families, Libni, and Shimei. 19 And the sons of Kohath by their families, Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of Merari by their families, Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers. 21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites, these are the families of the Gershonites. 22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred. 23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward. 24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering of it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar and around it, and the cords of it for all the service of it. 27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites, these are the families of the Kohathites. 28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, was eight thousand six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward. 30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the containers of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the hanging, and all the service of it. 32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of those who keep the charge of the sanctuary. 33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites, these are the families of Merari. 34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred. 35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail, these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward. 36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it, and all the containers of it, and all that serves those things, 37 And the pillars of the court and around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords. 38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel, and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death. 39 All that were numbered of the Levites, that Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and older, were twenty two thousand. 40 And the Lord said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 41 And you shall take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel." 42 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty two thousand two hundred seventy three. 44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine, I am the Lord. 46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred seventy three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites, 47 You shall take five shekels each by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shall you take them, (the shekel is twenty gerahs,) 48 And you shall give the money, with which the odd number of them is to be redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons." 49 And Moses took the redemption money of those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites, 50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money, a thousand three hundred sixty five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, 51 And Moses gave the money of those who were redeemed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. ___Numbers chapter 4 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers, 3 From thirty years old and older until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things, 5 And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it, 6 And shall put on it the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth completely of blue, and shall put in the staves of it. 7 And on the table of show bread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover with, and the continual bread shall be on it, 8 And they shall spread on them a red cloth, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves of it. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and his snuff dishes, and all the oil containers of it, with which they minister to it, 10 And they shall put it and all the containers of it inside a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it on a bar. 11 And on the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves of it, 12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar, 13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it, 14 And they shall put up it all the containers of it, with which they minister about it, the censers, the flesh hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the containers of the altar, and they shall spread on it a covering of badgers' skins, and put in the staves of it. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the containers of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward, after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it, but they shall not touch any holy thing, so that they don't die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. 16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertains the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, in the sanctuary, and in the containers of it." 17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 18 "Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites, 19 But do this with them, so that they can live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them each one to his service and to his burden, 20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, so they don't die." 21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 22 "Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families, 23 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old you shall number them, all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens, 25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is on top of it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar and around it, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them, so shall they serve. 27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service, and you shall appoint to them in charge all their burdens. 28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation, and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 29 As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers, 30 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old you shall number them, every one that enters into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation, the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and sockets of it, 32 And the pillars of the court and 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 reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest." 34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 35 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old, everyone that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty. 37 These were those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 38 And those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers, 39 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old, everyone that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 40 Those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand six hundred thirty. 41 These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord. 42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 43 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old, everyone that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44 Those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand two hundred. 45 These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 47 From thirty years old and older up to fifty years old, everyone that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation, 48 Those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty. 49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, everyone according to his service, and according to his burden, thus were they numbered by him, as the Lord commanded Moses. ___Numbers chapter 5 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead, 3 Both male and female you shall put out, you shall put them outside the camp, so that they don't defile their camps, in the among which I live. 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp, as the Lord spoke to Moses, the children of Israel did so." 5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 Then they shall confess their sin that they have done, and he shall repay his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it twenty percent of it, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed. 8 But if the man has no kinsman to repay the trespass to, let the trespass be repaid to the Lord, even to the priest, beside the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him. 9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his, whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his." 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man's wife goes aside, and commits a trespass against him, 13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, nor does she get pregnant, 14 And 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 is not defiled, 15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he 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 an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing sin to remembrance. 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord, 17 And the priest shall take holy water in a clay pot, and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water, 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering, and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse, 19 And the priest shall charge her with an oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be free from this bitter water that causes the curse, 20 But if you've gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you're defiled, and some man has lain with you beside your husband, 21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell, 22 And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly swell, and your thigh to rot, And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. 23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water, 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse, and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it on the altar, 26 And the priest shall take a handful of the offering, the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, then it shall occur, that, if she is defiled, and has done trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 28 And if the woman isn't defiled, but is clean, then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled, 30 Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 31 Then shall the man be guiltless from sin, and this woman shall bear her sin." ___Numbers chapter 6 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves to the Lord, 3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. 4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. 5 All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he shall not come near a dead body. 7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die, because the consecration of his God is on his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord. 9 And if any man dies very suddenly by him, and he has defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day he shall shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 11 And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day. 12 And he shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering, but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled. 13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 14 And he shall offer his offering to the Lord, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one female lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one male sheep without blemish for peace offerings, 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings. 16 And the priest shall bring them before the Lord, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering, 17 And he shall offer the male sheep for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread, the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering. 18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation has been shaved, 20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord, this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder, and after that the Nazarite can drink wine. 21 This is the law of the Nazarite who has vowed, and of his offering to the Lord for his separation, beside that which his hand shall get, according to the vow that he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation. 22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, In this way you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them, 24 The Lord bless you, and keep you, 25 The Lord make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you, 26 The Lord lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace. 27 And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them." ___Numbers chapter 7 1 On the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments of it, both the altar and all the containers of it, and had anointed them, and sanctified them, 2 The princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over those who were numbered, offered, 3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen, a wagon for each pair of princes, and for each one an ox, and they brought them before the tabernacle. 4 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 5 "Take it from them, so that they will be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service." 6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service, 8 And he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonging to them was that they should carry on their shoulders. 10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar on the day that it was anointed, the princes offered their offering before the altar. 11 And the Lord said

Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their charge." ___Numbers chapter 9 1 And the Lord 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, 2 "Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover at its appointed season. 3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season, according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies of it, you shall keep it." 4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover. 5 And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai, according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, so that they couldn't keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day, 7 And those men said to him, "We are defiled by the dead body of a man, why are we kept back, so that we can't offer an offering of the Lord in its appointed season among the children of Israel?" 8 And Moses said to them, "Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you." 9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean because of a dead body, or is in a journey far off, yet he shall keep the Passover to the Lord. 11 The fourteenth day of the second month at evening they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break any bone of it, according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and chooses not to keep the Passover, the same soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he didn't bring the offering of the Lord in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 14 And if a stranger shall visit among you, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, according to the ordinance of the Passover, and according to the manner of it, so shall he do, you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land." 15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony, and at evening there was on the tabernacle like the appearance of fire, until the morning. 16 So it was always, the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed, and in the place where the cloud was, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 18 At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched, as long as the cloud stayed on the tabernacle they rested in their tents. 19 And when the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and didn't journey. 20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle, according to the commandment of the Lord they stayed in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. 21 And so it was, when the cloud stayed from evening to the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed, whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 22 Or whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel stayed in their tents, and didn't journey, but when it was taken up, they journeyed. 23 At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed, they kept the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. ___Numbers chapter 10 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of a whole piece you shall make them, so that you can use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow with only one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5 When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 6 When you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey, they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, and they shall be to you for an ordinance forever throughout your generations. 9 And if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, so that they will be to you for a memorial before your God, I am the Lord your God." 11 On the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies, and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, carrying the tabernacle. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies, and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 21 And the Kohathites set forward, carrying the sanctuary, and the others set up the tabernacle for when they came. 22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies, and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rearmost of all the camps throughout their hosts, and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward. 29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, "We are journeying to the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you, come with us, and we will do you good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel." 30 And he said to him, "I will not go, but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives." 31 And he said, "Don't leave us, please, since you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be eyes for us. 32 And it shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do to us, we will do the same to you." 33 And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. 34 And the cloud of the Lord was on them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35 When the ark set forward, Moses said, "Rise up, Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you." 36 And when it rested, he said, "Return, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel." ___Numbers chapter 11 1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord, and the Lord heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed those who were in the outermost parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 4 And the mixed multitude that was among them started lusting, and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat? 5 We remember the fish, that we ate in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, 6 But now our soul has dried away, there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes." 7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the color of it like the color of bdellium. 8 And the people went around, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like the taste of fresh oil. 9 And when the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna fell on it. 10 Then Moses heard the people crying throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent, and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, Moses also was displeased. 11 And Moses said to the Lord, "Why have you afflicted your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I begotten them, that you should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, like a nursing father bears the sucking child, to the land that you promised to their fathers? 13 From where would I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, so that we can eat. 14 I am not able to carry all these people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 15 And if you deal thus with me, kill me, please, out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight, and let me not see my wretchedness." 16 And the Lord 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 tabernacle of the congregation, so that they can stand there with you. 17 And I will come down and talk with you there, and I will take some of the spirit that is on you, and will put it on them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you don't carry it yourself alone. 18 And say to the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh, for you've wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt, therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and you shall eat. 19 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 20 But a whole month, until it comes out from your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you, because you have despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?" 21 And Moses said, "The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and you have said, I will give them flesh, so they can eat a whole month. 22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?" 23 And the Lord said to Moses, "Has the Lord's hand grown short? You shall see now whether my word shall happen to you or not." 24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle. 25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him, and gave it to the seventy elders, and it occurred, that, when the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, and did not stop. 26 But two of the men remained 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 didn't go out to the tabernacle, and they prophesied in the camp. 27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp." 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered, "My lord Moses, forbid them." 29 And Moses said to him, "Are you envious for my sake? Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit on them!" 30 And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 31 And there went out a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, like a day's journey on this side, and like a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and like two cubits high on the face of the earth. 32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails, he that gathered least gathered ten homers, and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp. 33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague. 34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah to Hazeroth, and stayed at Hazeroth. ___Numbers chapter 12 1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 And they said, "Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has he not spoken also by us?" And the Lord heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all the men who were on the face of the earth.) 4 And the Lord spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of the congregation. And those three came out. 5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both stepped forth. 6 And he said, "Hear now my words, If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house. 8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches, and the similitude of the Lord he shall see, why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" 9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed. 10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and, see, Miriam became leprous, white as snow, and Aaron looked at Miriam, and, see, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said to Moses, "Alas, my lord, I beg of you, don't lay the sin on us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned. 12 Let her not be as someone dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb." 13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, "Heal her now, O God, I beg of you." 14 And the Lord said to Moses, "If her father had only spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again." 15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days, and the people didn't journey 'til Miriam was brought in again. 16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. ___Numbers chapter 13 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Send men, so they can search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel, of every tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a ruler among them." 3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran, all those men were heads of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names, of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way southward, and go up into the mountain, 18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that live in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many, 19 And what the land is that they live in, whether it is good or bad, and what cities they are that they live in, whether in tents, or in strong holds, 20 And what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 22 And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they carried it between two on a staff, and they brought some of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there. 25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. 26 And they 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 showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they 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. 28 However, the people are strong that live in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great, and also we saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, live in the mountains, and the Canaanites live by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan." 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it." 31 But the men that went up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are." 32 And they brought up an evil report about the land that they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it, and all the people that we saw in it are big and tall men. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come from the giants, and we were in our own sight like grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." ___Numbers chapter 14 1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried, and the people cried that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And why has the Lord brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, so that our wives and our children will be a prey? Wouldn't it have been better for us to return into Egypt?" 4 And they said to each other, "Let us make a captain, and let us return to Egypt." 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who searched the land, tore their clothes, 7 And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, "The land, that we passed through to search it, is a very good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. 9 Only don't rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us, their defense has departed from them, and the Lord is with us, don't fear them." 10 But all the congregation said stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 11 And the Lord said to Moses, "How long will these people provoke me? And how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs that I have showed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they." 13 And Moses said to the Lord, "Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them,) 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land, for they have heard that you Lord are among this people, that you Lord are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if you shall kill all these people like one man, then the nations that have heard the fame of you will say, 16 Because the Lord was not able to bring these people into the land that he promised them, therefore he has killed them in the wilderness. 17 And now, I beg of you, let the power of my Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying, 18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving sin and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation. 19 Pardon, I beg of you, the sin of these people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now." 20 And the Lord said, "I have pardoned according to your word, 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. 22 Because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not listened to my voice, 23 Surely they shall not see the land that I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of them that provoked me see it, 24 But 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. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valley.) Tomorrow turn, and get into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea." 26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27 "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, who murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against me. 28 Say to them, As truly as I live, says the Lord, as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you, 29 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, 30 Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you live in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, that you said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that you have despised. 32 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies are wasted in the wilderness. 34 According to the number of the days in which you searched the land, forty days, each day for a year, you shall bear your sins, forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise. 35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that have gathered together against me, in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die." 36 And the men, that Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander on the land, 37 Those men that brought up the evil report on the land, died by the plague before the Lord. 38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of the men that went to search the land, continued living. 39 And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. 40 And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "See, we're here, and will go up to the place that the Lord has promised, for we have sinned." 41 And Moses said, "Why now do you transgress the commandment of the Lord? But it won't prosper. 42 Don't go up, for the Lord is not among you, so that you're not smitten before your enemies. 43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you'll fall by the sword, because you've turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you." 44 But they presumed to go up to the hill top, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that hill, and struck them, and discomfited them, as far as Hormah. ___Numbers chapter 15 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you've come into the land of your habitations, that I give to you, 3 And will make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet odor to the Lord, of the herd, or of the flock, 4 Then he that offers his offering to the Lord shall bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil. 5 And the one fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6 Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mixed with one third of a hin of oil. 7 And for a drink offering you shall offer one third of a hin of wine, for a sweet odor to the Lord. 8 And when you prepare a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings to the Lord, 9 Then he shall bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mixed with half a hin of oil. 10 And you shall bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 11 Thus it shall be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12 According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to everyone according to their number. 13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 14 And if a stranger visits with you, or whoever is among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord, as you do, so he shall do. 15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that visits with you, an ordinance forever in your generations, like you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that visits with you." 17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land I'm bringing you to, 19 Then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. 20 You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for a heave offering, as you do the heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you heave it. 21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord a heave offering in your generations. 22 And if you've erred, and not observed all these commandments, that the Lord has spoken to Moses, 23 All that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and from now on among your generations, 24 Then it shall be, if anything is committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet odor to the Lord, with its meat offering, and its drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it is ignorance, and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance, 26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that visits among them, seeing that all the people were in ignorance. 27 And if any soul sins through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sins ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 29 You shall have one law for him that sins through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that visits among them. 30 But the soul that does anything presumptuously, whether he is born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproaches the Lord, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall completely be cut off, his sin shall be on him." 32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said to Moses, "The man shall be surely put to death, all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." 36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the Lord commanded Moses. 37 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they make them fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue, 39 And it shall be to you for a fringe, so that you can look at it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them, and that you don't seek after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a whoring, 40 So that you will remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, I am the Lord your God." ___Numbers chapter 16 1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, 2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown, 3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, "You take too much on you, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and the Lord is among them, why then do you lift up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?" 4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face, 5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, "Tomorrow the Lord will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him, even him whom he has chosen will he cause to come near to him. 6 This do, Take censers, Korah, and all his company, 7 And put fire in them, and put incense in them before the Lord tomorrow, and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chooses, he shall be holy, you take too much on you, you sons of Levi." 8 And Moses said to Korah, "Please listen, you sons of Levi, 9 Does it seem but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? 10 And he has brought you near to him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek the priesthood also? 11 For which cause both you and all your company have gathered together against the Lord, and what is Aaron, that you murmur against him?" 12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who said, "We won't come up, 13 Is it a small thing that you've brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, unless you totally make yourself a prince over us? 14 Also you haven't brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards, do you want to put out the eyes of these men? We won't come up." 15 And Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, "Don't respect their offering, I haven't taken one ass from them, nor have I hurt one of them." 16 And Moses said to Korah, "Come before the Lord, you and all your group, you, and them, and Aaron, tomorrow, 17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred fifty censers, you also, and Aaron, each of you his censer." 18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on it, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. 19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. 20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 21 "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, so that I can consume them in a moment." 22 And they fell on their faces, and said, "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?" 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 "Speak to the congregation, saying, Get up from around the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram." 25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, so you're not consumed in all their sins." 27 So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 28 And Moses said, "Hereby you'll know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own mind. 29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they're visited after the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord does a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that pertains to them, and they go down quickly into the pit, then you'll understand that these men have provoked the Lord." 31 As he had made an end of speaking all these words, the ground split apart that was under them, 32 And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that pertained to Korah, and all their goods. 33 They, and all that pertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the congregation. 34 And all Israel that were around them fled at the cry of them, for they said, "So the earth doesn't swallow up us also." 35 And a fire came out from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred fifty men that offered incense. 36 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 37 "Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire yonder, for they are hallowed. 38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar, for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they are hallowed, and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel." 39 And Eleazar the priest took the brass censers, with which those who were burnt had offered, and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar, 40 To be a memorial to the children of Israel, so that no stranger, that is not of the seed of Aaron, comes near to offer incense before the Lord, so that he is not like Korah, and like his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses. 41 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You've killed the people of the Lord." 42 When the congregation had gathered against Moses and against Aaron, they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation, and, see, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared. 43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 45 "Get up from among this congregation, so that I can consume them like in a moment." And they fell on their faces. 46 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer, and put fire in it from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them, for anger has gone out from the Lord, the plague has begun." 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the middle of the congregation, and, see, the plague had begun among the people, and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague stopped. 49 Now those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, beside those who died in connection with the matter of Korah. 50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the plague had stopped. ___Numbers chapter 17 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and take from everyone of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods, and write every man's name on his rod. 3 And you shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi, for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And you shall lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 5 And the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom, and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, with which they murmur against you." 6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and everyone of their princes each gave him a rod, for each prince one, according to their father's houses, twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. 8 And on the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and, see, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel, and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10 And the Lord said to Moses, "Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels, and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, so they don't die." 11 And Moses did so, as the Lord commanded him, so did he. 12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "See, we die, we perish, we all perish. 13 Whoever comes any where near to the tabernacle of the Lord shall die, shall we be consumed with dying?" ___Numbers chapter 18 1 And the Lord said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear the sin of the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the sin of your priesthood. 2 And your brothers also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring with you, so that they will be joined to you, and minister to you, but you and your sons with you shall minister before the tabernacle of witness. 3 And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle, only they shall not come near the containers of the sanctuary and the altar, so that neither they, nor you also, die. 4 And they shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle, and a stranger shall not come near to you. 5 And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, so that there is no wrath any more on the children of Israel. 6 And I, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel, to you they are given as a gift for the Lord, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7 Therefore you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and inside the veil, and you shall serve, I have given your priest's office to you as a service of gift, and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death." 8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, "See, I also have given you the charge of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance forever. 9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire, every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons. 10 In the most holy place shall you eat it, every male shall eat it, it shall be holy to you. 11 And this is yours, the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel, I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute forever, everyone that is clean in your house shall eat of it. 12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first fruits of them which they shall offer to the Lord, them have I given to you. 13 And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the Lord, shall be yours, everyone that is clean in your house shall eat of it. 14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be yours. 15 Every thing that opens the womb in all flesh, which they bring to the Lord, whether it is of men or beasts, shall be yours, but the firstborn of man you shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts you shall redeem. 16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem, they are holy, you shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet odor to the Lord. 18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours. 19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I've given to you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute forever, it is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord to you and to your children with you." 20 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any part among them, I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Israel. 21 And, see, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22 Nor may the children of Israel from now on come near the tabernacle of the congregation, so they don't bear sin, and die. 23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall carry their sin, it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. 24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit, therefore I have said to them, among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance." 25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 26 "Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, when you take from the children of Israel the tithes that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it for the Lord, one tenth of the tithe. 27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the corn of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. 28 Thus you also shall offer a heave offering to the Lord of all your tithes, that you receive from the children of Israel, and you shall give of it the Lord's heave offering to Aaron the priest. 29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave offering of the Lord, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part of it out of it. 30 Therefore you shall say to them, When you've heaved the best of it from it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress. 31 And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households, for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 32 And you shall carry no sin because of it, when you've heaved from it the best of it, neither shall you pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, so you don't die." ___Numbers chapter 19 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "This is the ordinance of the law that the Lord has commanded, saying, speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and on which never came yoke, 3 And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest, so that he can bring her outside the camp, and someone shall kill her before his face, 4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times, 5 And someone shall burn the heifer in his sight, her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, he shall burn, 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and red cloth, and throw it into the middle of the burning of the heifer. 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 evening. 8 And he that burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside 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. 10 And he that gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening, and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that visits among them, for a statute forever. 11 He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean, but if he doesn't purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 13 Whoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord, and that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water of separation was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean, his uncleanness is yet on him. 14 This is the law, when a man dies in a tent, all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 15 And every open container, that has no covering bound on it, is unclean. 16 And whoever touches someone killed by a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 17 And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put to it in a container, 18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the containers, and on the persons that were there, and on him that touched a bone, or someone killed, or someone dead, or a grave, 19 And the clean person shall sprinkle on 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 evening. 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 has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord, the water of separation hasn't been sprinkled on him, he is unclean. 21 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, that he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes, and he that touches the water of separation shall be unclean until evening. 22 And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean, and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening." ___Numbers chapter 20 1 Then the children of Israel came, 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. 2 And there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 3 And the people found fault with Moses, and said, "Would God that we had died when our brothers died before the Lord! 4 And why have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, so that we and our cattle would die here? 5 And why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, nor is there any water to drink." 6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell on their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 "Take the rod, and gather the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, and it shall give forth its water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock, so you shall give the congregation and their animals drink." 9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him. 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock?" 11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he struck the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their animals also. 12 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you didn't believed me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land that I have given them." 13 This is the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them. 14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, "Thus says your brother Israel, you know all the travail that has fallen on us, 15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers, 16 And when we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us out of Egypt, and, see, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border, 17 Let us pass, please, through you country, we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, nor will we drink of the water of the wells, we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders." 18 And Edom said to him, "You shall not pass by me, or I'll come out against you with the sword." 19 And the children of Israel said to him, "We will go by the high way, and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it, I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet." 20 And he said, "You shall not go through." And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand. 21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him. 22 And the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor. 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 24 "Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter into the land that I've given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah. 25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor, 26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there." 27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded, and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. 29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, all the house of Israel. ___Numbers chapter 21 1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, who lived in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. 2 And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, "If you'll indeed deliver these people into my hand, then I will completely destroy their cities." 3 And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites, and they completely destroyed them and their cities, and he called the name of the place Hormah. 4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people's souls were very discouraged because of the way. 5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, nor is there any water, and our soul loathes this light bread." 6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died. 7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against you, pray to the Lord, so that he'll take away the serpents from us." And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the Lord said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole, and whenever anyone who's been bitten looks at it, he shall live." 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it on a pole, and if a serpent had bitten any man, when he saw the serpent of brass, he lived. 10 And the children of Israel went forward, and pitched in Oboth. 11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sun rising. 12 From there they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared. 13 From there they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites, for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 So 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, 15 And at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies on the border of Moab. 16 And from there they went to Beer, that is the well about which the Lord spoke to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well, sing to it, 18 The princes dug the well, the nobles of the people dug it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, that looks toward Jeshimon. 21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 "Let me pass through your 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 are past your borders." 23 And Sihon would not allow 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. 24 And Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, up to the children of Ammon, for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages of it. 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, up to Arnon. 27 So those who speak in proverbs say, "Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared, 28 For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon, it has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon. 29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh, he has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. 30 We have shot at them, Heshbon has perished up to Dibon, and we have laid them waste up to Nophah, that reaches to Medeba." 31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages of it, and drove out the Amorites that were there. 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. 34 And the Lord said to Moses, "Don't be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land, and you'll do to him like you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon." 35 So they struck him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was no one left alive to him, and they possessed his land. ___Numbers chapter 22 1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many, and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now shall this company lick up all that are around us, like the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5 He sent messengers therefore to 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, "See, there is a people that has come out of Egypt, see, they cover the face of the earth, and they live opposite me, 6 Come now therefore, please, curse for me these people, for they are too mighty for me, perhaps I'll prevail, so that we can strike them, and so that I can drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed." 7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand, and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. 8 And he said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall speak to me," and the princes of Moab lodged with Balaam. 9 And God came to Balaam, and said, "What men are these with you?" 10 And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying, 11 See, there is a people that's come out of Egypt, that covers the face of the earth, come now, curse them for me, perhaps I'll be able to overcome them, and drive them out." 12 And God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them, you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed." 13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go back to your land, for the Lord refuses to give me permission to go with you." 14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us." 15 And Balak sent again princes, more, and more honorable than the others. 16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, please let nothing hinder you from coming to me, 17 For I will promote you to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me, come therefore, please, curse for me these people." 18 And Balaam answered the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more. 19 Now therefore, please, wait also here this night, so that I will know what more the Lord will say to me." 20 And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, "If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with them, but yet the word that I shall say to you, you shall do that." 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 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 on his ass, and his two servants were with him. 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 off the road, and went into the field, and Balaam struck the ass, to turn her onto the road. 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. 25 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again. 26 And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam, and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with a staff. 28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you've struck me these three times?" 29 And Balaam said to the ass, "Because you've mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you." 30 And the ass said to Balaam, "Am I not your ass, on which you've ridden ever since I was yours until this day? Did I ever do like that to you?" And he said, "No." 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. 32 And the angel of the Lord said to him, "Why have you struck your ass these three times? See, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me, 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times, unless she had turned from me, surely now also I would have killed you, and saved her alive." 34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, "I have sinned, for I didn't know that you stood in the way against me, now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again." 35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak to you, that's what you'll say." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. 36 And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, that is in the border of Arnon, that is in the utmost coast. 37 And Balak said to Balaam, "Didn't I earnestly send to you to call you? Why didn't you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?" 38 And Balaam said to Balak, "See, I've come to you, do I now have any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that's what I'll say." 39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjathhuzoth. 40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 41 And on the next day, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that from there he could see the utmost part of the people. ___Numbers chapter 23 1 And Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams." 2 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 3 And Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go, perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell you." And he went to a high place. 4 And God met Balaam, and he said to him, "I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on every altar a bullock and a ram." 5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak." 6 And he returned to him, and, see, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 7 And he took up his parable, and said, "Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. 8 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the Lord has not defied? 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I look at him, see, the people shall live alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of one fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!" 11 And Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, and, see, you've completely blessed them." 12 And he answered and said, "Must I not be careful to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?" 13 And Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place, from where you can see them, you shall see only the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all, and curse me them from there." 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. 15 And he said to Balak, "Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder." 16 And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Go again to Balak, and say thus." 17 And when he came to him, see, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the Lord spoken?" 18 And he took up his parable, and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear, listen to me, you son of Zippor, 19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should change his mind, has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 See, I have received commandment to bless, and he has blessed, and I can't reverse it. 21 He has not seen sin in Jacob, nor has he seen perverseness in Israel, the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt, he has strength like a rhinoceros. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, nor is there any divination against Israel, according to this time it shall be said about Jacob and about Israel, what has God done! 24 See, the people shall rise up like a large lion, and lift up himself like a young lion, he shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of those killed." 25 And Balak said to Balaam, "Don't curse them at all, nor bless them at all." 26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, "Didn't I tell you, all that the Lord says, I must do?" 27 And Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will bring you to another place, perhaps it will please God that you can curse them for me from there." 28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks toward Jeshimon. 29 And Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams." 30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. ___Numbers chapter 24 1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he didn't go, like other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel living in his tents according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came on him. 3 And he took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said, 4 He has said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open, 5 How good are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel! 6 As the valleys they are spread forth, like gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes that the Lord has planted, and like cedar trees beside the waters. 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. 8 God brought him out of Egypt, he has strength like a rhinoceros, he shall eat up the nations that are his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down like a lion, and like a great lion, who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you." 10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together, and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, see, you've completely blessed them these three times. 11 Therefore now flee to your place, I thought to promote you to great honor, but, see, the Lord has kept you back from honor." 12 And Balaam said to Balak, "Didn't I say also to your messengers that you sent to me, saying, 13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own mind, but what the Lord says, that's what I'll say? 14 And now, see, I go to my people, come therefore, and I will tell you what these people shall do to your people in the latter days." 15 And he took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said, 16 He has said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open, 17 I shall see him, but not now, I shall see him, but not near, a Star shall come out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall strike the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies, and Israel shall do valiantly. 19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city." 20 And when he looked at Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, but his end shall be that he is destroyed forever." 21 And he looked at the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, "Strong is your dwelling place, and you put your nest in a rock. 22 But the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive." 23 And he took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this! 24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish forever." 25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way. ___Numbers chapter 25 1 And Israel lived in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. 3 And Israel joined himself to Baalpeor, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, "Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord opposite the sun, so that the fierce anger of the Lord will be turned away from Israel." 5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Kill everyone his men that were joined to Baalpeor." 6 And see, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were crying before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 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, 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 stopped from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty four thousand. 10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 "Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, so that I didn't consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12 So say, see, I give to him my covenant of peace, 13 And he shall have it, and his descendants 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." 14 Now the name of the Israelite that was killed, that was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian. 16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 "Vex the Midianites, and strike them, 18 For they vex you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague for Peor's sake." ___Numbers chapter 26 1 And after the plague, the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, 2 "Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and older, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel." 3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 4 "Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and older, as the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt." 5 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel, the children of Reuben, Hanoch, of whom comes the family of the Hanochites, of Pallu, the family of the Palluites, 6 Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites, of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7 These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were numbered of them were forty three thousand seven hundred thirty. 8 And the sons of Pallu, Eliab. 9 And the sons of Eliab, Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.

And there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ___Numbers chapter 27 1 Then the daughters of Zelophehad came, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he doesn't have a son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brothers of our father." 5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord. 6 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right, you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers, and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 8 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it, and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses." 12 And the Lord said to Moses, "Get up into this mount Abarim, and see the land that I've given to the children of Israel. 13 And when you've seen it, you also shall be gathered to people, like Aaron your brother was gathered. 14 For you rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes, that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin." 15 And Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 17 Who will go out before them, and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord is not like sheep that have no shepherd." 18 And the Lord said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him, 19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight. 20 And you shall put some of your honor on him, so that all the congregation of the children of Israel will be obedient. 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 they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, all the congregation." 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, 23 And he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. ___Numbers chapter 28 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the children of Israel, and say to them, my offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet odor to me, you shall observe to offer to me in their due season. 3 And you shall say to them, this is the offering made by fire that you shall offer to the Lord, two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 4 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at evening, 5 And one tenth of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mixed with one fourth of a hin of beaten oil. 6 It is a continual burnt offering, that was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet odor, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord. 7 And the drink offering of it shall be one fourth of a hin for the one lamb, in the holy place you shall cause the strong wine to be poured to the Lord for a drink offering. 8 And the other lamb you shall offer at evening, as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord. 9 And on the Sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it, 10 This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 11 And in the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord, two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot, 12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mixed with oil, for one bullock, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mixed with oil, for one ram, 13 And a several tenth deal of flour mixed with oil for a meat offering to one lamb, for a burnt

lamb, this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to the Lord shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord. 17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast, seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 18 In the first day shall be a holy convocation, you shall do no kind of servile work in it, 19 But you shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering to the Lord, two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year, they shall be to you without blemish, 20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenth deals shall you offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 21 A several tenth deal you shall offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs, 22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. 23 You shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24 After this manner you shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet odor to the Lord, it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering. 25 And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work. 26 Also in the day of the first fruits, when you bring a new meat offering to the Lord, after your weeks are out, you shall have a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work, 27 But you shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet odor to the Lord, two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year, 28 And their meat offering of flour mixed with oil, three tenth deals to one bullock, two tenth deals to one ram, 29 A several tenth deal to one lamb, throughout the seven lambs, 30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. 31 You shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and its meat offering, (they shall be to you without blemish) and their drink offerings." ___Numbers chapter 29 1 "And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation, you shall do no servile work, it is a day of blowing the trumpets to you. 2 And you shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet odor to the Lord, one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish, 3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs, 5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you, 6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and its meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and its meat offering, and their drink offerings, according to their manner, for a sweet odor, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord. 7 And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy

its drink offering. 39 These things you shall do to the Lord in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings." 40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses. ___Numbers chapter 30 1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 2 If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 3 If a woman also vows a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth, 4 And her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father shall be silent to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 5 But if her father disallows her on the day that he hears, not any of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand, and the Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 6 And if she had at all a husband, when she vowed, or uttered anything out of her lips, with which she bound her soul, 7 And her husband heard it, and was silent to her in the day that he heard it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it, then he shall make her vow that she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul, of no effect, and the Lord shall forgive her. 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 11 And her husband heard it, and was silent to her, and didn't disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. 12 But if her husband has completely made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand, her husband has made them void, and the Lord shall forgive her. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But if her husband completely remains silent to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, that are on her, he confirms them, because he was silent to her in the day that he heard them. 15 But if he shall in any way make them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her sin." 16 These are the statutes, that 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. ___Numbers chapter 31 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites, afterward you shall be gathered to your people." 3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord against Midian. 4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war." 5 So out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from every tribe were selected, twelve thousand armed for war. 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. 7 And they warred against the Midianites, like the Lord commanded Moses, and they killed all the males. 8 And they killed the kings of Midian, beside the rest of those who were killed, namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian, Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword. 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. 10 And they burned all their cities in which they lived, and all their good castles, with fire. 11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. 13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside the camp. 14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle. 15 And Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive? 16 See, 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. 17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 19 And stay outside the camp seven days, whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any dead, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20 And purify all your clothing, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood." 21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that went to the battle, "This is the ordinance of the law that the Lord commanded Moses, 22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 23 Everything that will survive the fire, you 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 won't survive the fire you shall make go through the water. 24 And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean, and afterward you shall come into the camp." 25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 26 "Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation, 27 And divide the prey into two parts, between those who took the war on them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation, 28 And levy a tribute to the Lord of the men of war who 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, 29 Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for a heave offering of the Lord. 30 And of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all kinds of animals, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord." 31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. 32 And the spoils, being the rest of the prey that the men of war had caught, was six hundred seventy thousand five thousand sheep, 33 And seventy two thousand beeves, 34 And sixty one thousand asses, 35 And thirty two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. 36 And the half, that was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred sheep, 37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy five. 38 And the beeves were thirty six thousand, of which the Lord's tribute was seventy two. 39 And the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the Lord's tribute was sixty one. 40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's tribute was thirty two persons. 41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord's heave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. 42 And of the children of Israel's half, that Moses divided from the men that warred, 43 (Now the half that pertained to the congregation was three hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred sheep, 44 And thirty six thousand beeves, 45 And thirty thousand five hundred asses, 46 And sixteen thousand persons,) 47 Of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. 48 And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses, 49 And they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge, and not one man of us is lacking. 50 We have therefore brought an offering for the Lord, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord." 51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all wrought jewels. 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 fifty shekels. 53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) 54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from 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. ___Numbers chapter 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, see, the place was a place for cattle, 2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 4 The country that the Lord struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle, 5 So they said, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession, and don't take us over Jordan." 6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to war, and shall you sit here? 7 And why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land that the Lord has given them? 8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. 9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they wouldn't go into the land that the Lord had given them. 10 And the Lord's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying, 11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and older, shall see the land that I promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, 12 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have completely followed the Lord. 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. 14 And, see, you have risen up instead of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to sharpen more the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel. 15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness, and you'll destroy all these people." 16 And they came near him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones, 17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, and our little ones shall live in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward." 20 And Moses said to them, "If you'll do this thing, if you'll go armed before the Lord to war, 21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he has driven out his enemies from before him, 22 And the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. 23 But if you won't do so, see, you've sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do what you've said." 25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as our lord commands. 26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead, 27 But your servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as our lord said." 28 So Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel concerning them, 29 And Moses said to 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 you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession," 30 But if they won't pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan." 31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, "As the Lord has said to your servants, that's what we'll do. 32 We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, so that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan will be ours." 33 And Moses gave them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to 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 of it in the coasts, the cities of the country around there. 34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities, and folds for sheep. 37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah, and gave other names to the cities that they built. 39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were in it. 40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it. 41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns of it, and called them Havothjair. 42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called it Nobah, after his own name. ___Numbers chapter 33 1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 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. 3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the next day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the Lord had struck among them, on their gods also the Lord executed judgments. 5 And the children of Israel moved from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 7 And they moved from Etham, and turned again to Pihahiroth, that is before Baalzephon, and they pitched before Migdol. 8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 9 And they moved from Marah, and came to Elim, and in Elim there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees, and they pitched there. 10 And they moved from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. 11 And they moved from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 14 And they moved from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 16 And they moved from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah. 17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez. 20 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah. 21 And they moved from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. 22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. 23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. 24 And they moved from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 25 And they moved from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. 28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah. 29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan. 32 And they moved from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad. 33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 34 And they moved from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. 35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber. 36 And they moved from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 37 And they moved from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 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 had come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month. 39 And Aaron was one hundred twenty three years old when he died in mount Hor. 40 And king Arad the Canaanite, who lived in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab. 45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad. 46 And they moved from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim. 47 And they moved from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even to Abelshittim in the plains of Moab. 50 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 51 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, when you've passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 Then you 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, 53 And you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and live in it, for I have given you the land to possess it. 54 And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families, and to the more you shall give the larger inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the smaller inheritance, every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls, according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. 55 But if you won't drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those that you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land in which you live. 56 Also I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them." ___Numbers chapter 34 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan, (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with the coasts of it,) 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, 4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and the going forth of it shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon, 5 And the border shall circle from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 6 And as for the western border, you shall have the great sea for a border, this shall be your west border. 7 And this shall be your north border, from the great sea you shall point out for yourselves mount Hor, 8 From mount Hor you shall point out your border to the entrance of Hamath, and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad, 9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan, this shall be your north border. 10 And you shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham, 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 to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward, 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 of it around there." 13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land that you shall inherit by lot, that the Lord commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe, 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, 15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sun rising." 16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 "These are the names of the men that shall divide the land to you, Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one prince from every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance. 19 And the names of the men are these, Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud." 29 These are those whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. ___Numbers chapter 35 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 2 "Command the children of Israel, to give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to live in, and you shall give also to the Levites suburbs for the cities around them. 3 And they shall have the cities to live in, and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. 4 And the suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward five hundred yards all around. 5 And you shall measure from outside the city on the east side one thousand yards, and on the south side one thousand yards, and on the west side one thousand yards, and on the north side one thousand yards, and the city shall be in the middle, this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 6 And among the cities that you shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, that you shall appoint for the manslayer, so he can flee there, and to them you shall add forty two cities. 7 So all the cities that you shall give to the Levites shall be forty eight cities, you shall give them with their suburbs. 8 And the cities that you shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel, from those who have many you shall give many, but from those who have few you shall give few, everyone shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance that he inherits." 9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you've come over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11 Then you shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you, so the slayer can flee there, who kills any person unintentionally. 12 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger, so the manslayer doesn't die, until he stands before the congregation in judgment. 13 And of these cities that you shall give, you shall have six cities for refuge. 14 You shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities you shall give in the land of Canaan, that shall be cities of refuge. 15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the visitor among them, so that everyone that kills any person unintentionally can flee there. 16 And if he strikes him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer, the murderer shall surely be put to death. 17 And if he strikes him with throwing a stone, with which he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer, the murderer shall surely be put to death. 18 Or if he strikes him with a hand weapon of wood, with which he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer, the murderer shall surely be put to death. 19 The revenger of blood himself shall kill the murderer, when he meets him, he shall kill him. 20 But if he thrusts him of hatred, or hurls at him by laying of wait, so that he dies, 21 Or in enmity smites him with his hand, so that he dies, he that struck him shall surely be put to death, for he is a murderer, the revenger of blood shall kill the murderer, when he meets him. 22 But if he thrusts him suddenly without enmity, or has thrown at him anything without laying of wait, 23 Or with any stone, with which a man could die, not seeing him, and throws it at him, so that he dies, and was not his enemy, and didn't seek his harm, 24 Then the congregation shall judge between the killer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments, 25 And the congregation shall deliver the killer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he had fled, and he shall stay in it until the death of the high priest, that was anointed with the holy oil. 26 But if the killer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he has fled to, 27 And the revenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kills the slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood, 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 killer shall return to the land of his possession. 29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 30 Whoever kills 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. 31 Also you shall take no fine for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death, but he shall be surely put to death. 32 And you shall take no fine for him that has fled to the city of his refuge, so that he should come again to live in the land, until the death of the priest. 33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are, for blood defiles the land, and the land can't be cleansed from the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him that shed it. 34 Therefore don't defile the land that you'll inhabit, in which I live, for I the Lord live among the children of Israel." ___Numbers chapter 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 spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, 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 to his daughters. 3 And if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are received, so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then their inheritance shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are received, so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers." 5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, "The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well. 6 This is the thing that the Lord commands 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. 7 So the inheritance of the children of Israel won't remove from tribe to tribe, for everyone of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the children of Israel will enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Nor 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." 10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad, 11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons, 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. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments, that the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
