5:7: Then they shall confess their sin which they have done:
and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof,
and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him
against whom he hath trespassed.
5:8: But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even
to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an
atonement shall be made for him.
5:9: And every offering of all the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10: And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever
any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
5:11: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against
him,
5:13: And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from
the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled,
and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken
with the manner;
5:14: And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit
of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be not defiled:
5:15: Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and
he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an
ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an
offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
5:16: And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before
the LORD:
5:17: And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel;
and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the
priest shall take, and put it into the water:
5:18: And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD,
and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial
in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest
shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
5:19: And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say
unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou
hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of
thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth
the curse:
5:20: But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy
husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with
thee beside thine husband:
5:21: Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath
of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD
make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD
doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
5:22: And this water that causeth the curse shall go into
thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot:
And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
5:23: And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and
he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
5:24: And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water
that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse
shall enter into her, and become bitter.
5:25: Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out
of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the
LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
5:26: And the priest shall take an handful of the offering,
even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and
afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
5:27: And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it
shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done
trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth
the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her
belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman
shall be a curse among her people.
5:28: And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then
she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29: This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside
to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30: Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and
he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before
the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
5:31: Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this
woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow
a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
6:3: He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink,
and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink,
neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist
grapes, or dried.
6:4: All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that
is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
6:5: All the days of the vow of his separation there shall
no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled,
in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall
be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6:6: All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD
he shall come at no dead body.
6:7: He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or
for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they
die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
6:8: All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
6:9: And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath
defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave
his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall
he shave it.
6:10: And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or
two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation:
6:11: And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement
for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow
his head that same day.
6:12: And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his
separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be
lost, because his separation was defiled.
6:13: And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of
his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
6:14: And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he
lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering,
and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin
offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
6:15: And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour
mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed
with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
6:16: And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and
shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
6:17: And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread:
the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink
offering.
6:18: And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in
the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
6:19: And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the
ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened
wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite,
after the hair of his separation is shaven:
6:20: And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before
the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast
and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink
wine.
6:21: This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and
of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that
that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed,
so he must do after the law of his separation.
6:22: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23: Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this
wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
6:24: The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious
unto thee:
6:26: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give
thee peace.
6:27: And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel;
and I will bless them.
7:1: And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set
up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it,
and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the
vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
7:2: That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their
fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over
them that were numbered, offered:
7:3: And they brought their offering before the LORD, six
covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes,
and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
7:4: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7:5: Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of
the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them
unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
7:6: And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them
unto the Levites.
7:7: Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,
according to their service:
7:8: And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons
of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
7:9: But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the
service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they
should bear upon their shoulders.
7:10: And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar
in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered
their offering before the altar.
7:11: And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their
offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the
altar.

to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking
unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of
testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto
him.
8:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2: Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest
the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick.
8:3: And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:4: And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold,
unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten
work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed
Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6: Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
8:7: And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle
water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their
flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves
clean.
8:8: Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering,
even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock
shalt thou take for a sin offering.
8:9: And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle
of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly
of the children of Israel together:
8:10: And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and
the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
8:11: And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for
an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute
the service of the LORD.
8:12: And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads
of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make
an atonement for the Levites.
8:13: And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before
his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
8:14: Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the
children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15: And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse
them, and offer them for an offering.
8:16: For they are wholly given unto me from among the children
of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead
of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken
them unto me.
8:17: For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are
mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn
in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
8:18: And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of
the children of Israel.
8:19: And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and
to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service
of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation,
and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that
there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the
children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
8:20: And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all
that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did
the children of Israel unto them.
8:21: And the Levites were purified, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the
LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
8:22: And after that went the Levites in to do their service
in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before
his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites,
so did they unto them.
8:23: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24: This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty
and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
8:25: And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting
upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
8:26: But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle
of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service.
Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
9:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
in the first month of the second year after they were come
out of the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2: Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at
his appointed season.
9:3: In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall
keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites
of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall
ye keep it.
9:4: And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they
should keep the passover.
9:5: And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the
first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children
of Israel.
9:6: And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead
body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that
day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
9:7: And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead
body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not
offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among
the children of Israel?
9:8: And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear
what the LORD will command concerning you.
9:9: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10: Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man
of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of
a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep
the passover unto the LORD.
9:11: The fourteenth day of the second month at even they
shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs.
9:12: They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break
any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover
they shall keep it.
9:13: But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey,
and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall
be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the
offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall
bear his sin.
9:14: And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will
keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance
of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall
he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger,
and for him that was born in the land.
9:15: And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the
cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony:
and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance
of fire, until the morning.
9:16: So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the
appearance of fire by night.
9:17: And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle,
then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the
place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel
pitched their tents.
9:18: At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched:
as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested
in their tents.
9:19: And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle
many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of
the LORD, and journeyed not.
9:20: And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the
tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they
abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of
the LORD they journeyed.
9:21: And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the
morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then
they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the
cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
9:22: Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year,
that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon,
the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed
not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
9:23: At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents,
and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept
the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by
the hand of Moses.
10:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2: Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt
thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling
of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
10:3: And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly
shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
10:4: And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes,
which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
10:5: When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the
east parts shall go forward.
10:6: When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps
that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they
shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
10:7: But when the congregation is to be gathered together,
ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
10:8: And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with
the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for
ever throughout your generations.
10:9: And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye
shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10: Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn
days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow
with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the
sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you
for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
10:11: And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second
month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from
off the tabernacle of the testimony.
10:12: And the children of Israel took their journeys out
of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness
of Paran.
10:13: And they first took their journey according to the
commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:14: In the first place went the standard of the camp of
the children of Judah according to their armies: and over
his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
10:15: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
was Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17: And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of
Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18: And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the
son of Shedeur.
10:19: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21: And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:
and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22: And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim
set forward according to their armies: and over his host was
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
10:23: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh
was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25: And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan
set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout
their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
10:27: And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
was Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28: Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel
according to their armies, when they set forward.
10:29: And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of
which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us,
and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning
Israel.
10:30: And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart
to mine own land, and to my kindred.
10:31: And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as
thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou
mayest be to us instead of eyes.
10:32: And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall
be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same
will we do unto thee.
10:33: And they departed from the mount of the LORD three
days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went
before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting
place for them.
10:34: And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when
they went out of the camp.
10:35: And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that
Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered;
and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
10:36: And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the
many thousands of Israel.
11:1: And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD:
and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the
fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that
were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
11:2: And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed
unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
11:3: And he called the name of the place Taberah: because
the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
11:4: And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting:
and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who
shall give us flesh to eat?
11:5: We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;
the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions,
and the garlick:
11:6: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at
all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
11:7: And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour
thereof as the colour of bdellium.
11:8: And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground
it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans,
and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste
of fresh oil.
11:9: And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the
manna fell upon it.
11:10: Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,
every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11:11: And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted
thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy
sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon
me?
11:12: Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them,
that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom,
as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land
which thou swarest unto their fathers?
11:13: Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?
for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may
eat.
11:14: I am not able to bear all this people alone, because
it is too heavy for me.
11:15: And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee,
out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let
me not see my wretchedness.
11:16: And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy
men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders
of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto
the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there
with thee.
11:17: And I will come down and talk with thee there: and
I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put
it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people
with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
11:18: And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against
to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the
ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will
give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
11:19: Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
neither ten days, nor twenty days;
11:20: But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils,
and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised
the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying,
Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21: And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six
hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give
them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
11:22: Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to
suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered
together for them, to suffice them?
11:23: And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed
short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass
unto thee or not.
11:24: And Moses went out, and told the people the words of
the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the
people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
11:25: And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him,
and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto
the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit
rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
11:26: But there remained two of the men in the camp, the
name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad:
and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that
were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they
prophesied in the camp.
11:27: And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said,
Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
11:28: And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one
of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid
them.
11:29: And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake?
would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that
the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
11:30: And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders
of Israel.
11:31: And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought
quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it
were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's
journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it
were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
11:32: And the people stood up all that day, and all that
night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails:
he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread
them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
11:33: And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere
it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the
people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
11:34: And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah:
because there they buried the people that lusted.
11:35: And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
12:1: And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of
the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married
an Ethiopian woman.
12:2: And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
12:3: (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were upon the face of the earth.)
12:4: And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron,
and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of
the congregation. And they three came out.
12:5: And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and
stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and
Miriam: and they both came forth.
12:6: And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet
among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a
vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
12:7: My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine
house.
12:8: With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently,
and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall
he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against
my servant Moses?
12:9: And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them;
and he departed.
12:10: And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and,
behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked
upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
12:11: And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech
thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly,
and wherein we have sinned.
12:12: Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half
consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13: And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now,
O God, I beseech thee.
12:14: And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but
spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let
her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let
her be received in again.
12:15: And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and
the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16: And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and
pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2: Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan,
which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of
their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among
them.
13:3: And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from
the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children
of Israel.
13:4: And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben,
Shammua the son of Zaccur.
13:5: Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7: Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8: Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9: Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10: Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11: Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gaddi the son of Susi.
13:12: Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13: Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14: Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15: Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16: These are the names of the men which Moses sent to
spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17: And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan,
and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go
up into the mountain:
13:18: And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth
therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
13:19: And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it
be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in,
whether in tents, or in strong holds;
13:20: And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether
there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage,
and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time
of the firstripe grapes.
13:21: So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness
of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22: And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron;
where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were.
(Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
13:23: And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down
from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they
bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the
pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:24: The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the
cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
13:25: And they returned from searching of the land after
forty days.
13:26: And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and
to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the
wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto
them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit
of the land.
13:27: And they told him, and said, We came unto the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and
honey; and this is the fruit of it.
13:28: Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the
land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover
we saw the children of Anak there.
13:29: The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and
the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in
the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by
the coast of Jordan.
13:30: And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able
to overcome it.
13:31: But the men that went up with him said, We be not able
to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
13:32: And they brought up an evil report of the land which
they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The
land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that
eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that
we saw in it are men of a great stature.
13:33: And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which
come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.
14:1: And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and
cried; and the people wept that night.
14:2: And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses
and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,
Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would
God we had died in this wilderness!
14:3: And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land,
to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should
be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
14:4: And they said one to another, Let us make a captain,
and let us return into Egypt.
14:5: Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all
the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6: And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7: And they spake unto all the company of the children
of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search
it, is an exceeding good land.
14:8: If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into
this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk
and honey.
14:9: Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye
the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence
is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them
not.
14:10: But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.
And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation before all the children of Israel.
14:11: And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
all the signs which I have shewed among them?
14:12: I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit
them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier
than they.
14:13: And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall
hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might
from among them;)
14:14: And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land:
for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people,
that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth
over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in
a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15: Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man,
then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak,
saying,
14:16: Because the LORD was not able to bring this people
into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath
slain them in the wilderness.
14:17: And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be
great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18: The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving
iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation.
14:19: Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20: And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy
word:
14:21: But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled
with the glory of the LORD.
14:22: Because all those men which have seen my glory, and
my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and
have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened
to my voice;
14:23: Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto
their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me
see it:
14:24: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit
with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into
the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
14:25: (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the
valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness
by the way of the Red sea.
14:26: And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27: How long shall I bear with this evil congregation,
which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the
children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
14:28: Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD,
as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all
that were numbered of you, according to your whole number,
from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against
me,
14:30: Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning
which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son
of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31: But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye
have despised.
14:32: But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
wilderness.
14:33: And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty
years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted
in the wilderness.
14:34: After the number of the days in which ye searched the
land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear
your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach
of promise.
14:35: I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all
this evil congregation, that are gathered together against
me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they
shall die.
14:36: And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who
returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against
him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
14:37: Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon
the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
14:38: But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of the men that went to search the land, lived
still.
14:39: And Moses told these sayings unto all the children
of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
14:40: And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them
up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and
will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for
we have sinned.
14:41: And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the
commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
14:42: Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be
not smitten before your enemies.
14:43: For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before
you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned
away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
14:44: But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless
the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not
out of the camp.
14:45: Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which
dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them,
even unto Hormah.
15:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I
give unto you,
15:3: And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill
offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour
unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
15:4: Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD
bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of oil.
15:5: And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering
shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for
one lamb.
15:6: Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering
two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an
hin of oil.
15:7: And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third
part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:8: And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering,
or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings
unto the LORD:
15:9: Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of
three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
15:10: And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin
of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the LORD.
15:11: Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram,
or for a lamb, or a kid.
15:12: According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall
ye do to every one according to their number.
15:13: All that are born of the country shall do these things
after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:14: And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be
among you in your generations, and will offer an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so
he shall do.
15:15: One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation,
and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance
for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger
be before the LORD.
15:16: One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the
stranger that sojourneth with you.
15:17: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
15:19: Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of
the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
15:20: Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough
for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the
threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
15:21: Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD
an heave offering in your generations.
15:22: And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,
which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23: Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand
of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and
henceforward among your generations;
15:24: Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance
without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation
shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a
sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his
drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the
goats for a sin offering.
15:25: And the priest shall make an atonement for all the
congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven
them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering,
a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering
before the LORD, for their ignorance:
15:26: And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among
them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
15:27: And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall
bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
15:28: And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul
that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before
the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven
him.
15:29: Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through
ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of
Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
15:30: But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether
he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth
the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31: Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and
hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut
off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
15:32: And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33: And they that found him gathering sticks brought him
unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
15:34: And they put him in ward, because it was not declared
what should be done to him.
15:35: And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely
put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones
without the camp.
15:36: And all the congregation brought him without the camp,
and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
15:37: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38: Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that
they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout
their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the
borders a ribband of blue:
15:39: And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may
look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD,
and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and
your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
15:40: That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and
be holy unto your God.
15:41: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the
land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
16:1: Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the
son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and
On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
16:2: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children
of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly,
famous in the congregation, men of renown:
16:3: And they gathered themselves together against Moses
and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon
you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them,
and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves
above the congregation of the LORD?
16:4: And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
16:5: And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying,
Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is
holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom
he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
16:6: This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7: And put fire therein, and put incense in them before
the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the
LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon
you, ye sons of Levi.
16:8: And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons
of Levi:
16:9: Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God
of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel,
to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle
of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister
unto them?
16:10: And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren
the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
16:11: For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered
together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur
against him?
16:12: And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons
of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
16:13: Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out
of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in
the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince
over us?
16:14: Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that
floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields
and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we
will not come up.
16:15: And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect
not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them,
neither have I hurt one of them.
16:16: And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company
before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17: And take every man his censer, and put incense in them,
and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred
and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
16:18: And they took every man his censer, and put fire in
them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
16:19: And Korah gathered all the congregation against them
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the
glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
16:20: And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaro
