Numbers 28-31

Jubilee Bible 2000

28 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Command the sons of Israel and say unto them, My offering, my bread with my offerings on fire, for an acceptable savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.

³ And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering on fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot each day, for a continual burnt offering.

⁴ The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings,

⁵ and a tenth part of an ephah of flour, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil as a present.

⁶ It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for an acceptable savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.

⁷ And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin with each lamb; thou shalt pour out the drink offering of superior wine unto the LORD in the sanctuary.

⁸ And the other lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings; according to the offering of the morning and according to the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.

⁹ ¶ But on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot and two tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, for a present, with the drink offering thereof:

¹⁰ This is the burnt offering of the sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹¹ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

¹² and three tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, as a present with each bullock; and two tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, as a present with each ram;

¹³ and a tenth deal of flour mingled with oil in offering as a present with each lamb; a burnt offering of an acceptable savour, a sacrifice on fire unto the LORD.

¹⁴ And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine with each bullock and the third part of a hin with each ram and a fourth part of a hin with each lamb. This shall be the burnt offering of each month throughout all the months of the year.

¹⁵ And one he goat as the sin shall be offered unto the LORD, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹⁶ ¶ But on the fourteenth of the first month shall be 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; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein.

¹⁹ And ye shall offer a sacrifice on fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks and one ram and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish;

²⁰ and their present shall be of flour mingled with oil; three tenth deals shall ye offer with each bullock and two tenth deals with each ram;

²¹ a tenth deal shalt thou offer with each of the seven lambs;

²² and one he goat as the sin, to reconcile you.

²³ Ye shall offer these besides the burnt offering in the morning, which is the continual burnt offering.

²⁴ After this manner ye shall offer daily throughout the seven days, the bread of the sacrifice on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

²⁵ And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

²⁶ Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye offer a new present unto the LORD in your fulfilled weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

²⁷ But ye shall offer in burnt offering, in an acceptable savour unto the LORD: two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;

²⁸ and their present of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each bullock, two tenth deals with each ram,

²⁹ a tenth deal with each of the seven lambs;

³⁰ and one he goat, to reconcile you.

³¹ Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt offering and its presents and their drink offerings; they shall be unto you without blemish.

29 ¶ And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work; it is a day of sounding an alarm unto you.

² And ye shall offer a burnt offering for an acceptable savour unto the LORD: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish;

³ and their present shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each bullock, and two tenth deals with each ram,

⁴ and one tenth deal with each of the seven lambs;

⁵ and one he goat as the sin, to reconcile you.

⁶ Besides the burnt offering of the month and its present, and the daily burnt offering and its present and their drink offerings, according to their law, for an acceptable savour, a sacrifice on fire unto the LORD.

⁷ And ye shall have on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; ye shall not do any work;

⁸ and ye shall offer in burnt offering unto the LORD for an acceptable savour: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish.

⁹ And their presents shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each bullock, and two tenth deals with each ram,

¹⁰ a tenth deal for each of the seven lambs;

¹¹ one he goat as the sin, besides the offering of the reconciliations for the sin, and the continual burnt offering and its presents and their drink offerings.

¹² ¶ Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days;

¹³ and ye shall offer in burnt offering, a sacrifice on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish

¹⁴ and their presents of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals with each of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals with each of the two rams,

¹⁵ and one tenth deal with each of the fourteen lambs;

¹⁶ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering, its present, and its drink offering.

¹⁷ And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot;

¹⁸ and their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

¹⁹ And one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering and its present and its drink offering.

²⁰ And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;

²¹ and their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

²² and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering and its present and its drink offering.

²³ And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;

²⁴ their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

²⁵ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering, its present, and its drink offering.

²⁶ And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot;

²⁷ and their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

²⁸ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering, and its present, and its drink offering.

²⁹ And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;

³⁰ and their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

³¹ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering, its present, and its drink offering.

³² And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;

³³ and their presents and their drink offerings with the bullocks, with the rams, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

³⁴ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering, its present, and its drink offering.

³⁵ On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work:

³⁶ And ye shall offer in burnt offering, in a sacrifice on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish;

³⁷ their presents and their drink offerings with the bullock, with the ram, and with the lambs shall be according to their number, according to the law;

³⁸ and one he goat as the sin, besides the continual burnt offering and its present and its drink offering.

³⁹ These things ye shall offer unto the LORD in your solemnities, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, in your burnt offerings, and in your presents, and in your drink offerings, and in your peace offerings.

⁴⁰ And Moses told the sons of Israel according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

30 ¶ And Moses spoke unto the princes of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.

² When a man vows a vow unto the LORD or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not defile his word: he shall do according to all that proceeded out of his mouth.

³ ¶ But the woman, when she shall vow a vow unto the LORD and bind 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 remain silent regarding it, then all her promises shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁵ But if her father disallows her in the day that he hears all of her vows and of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, they shall not stand, and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

⁶ But if she had at all a husband when she vowed or pronounced anything out of her lips, with which she bound her soul,

⁷ if her husband heard it and remained silent regarding it 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 her vow which she vowed and that which she pronounced with her lips, with which she bound her soul, shall be 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.

¹⁰ And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

¹¹ if her husband heard it and remained silent regarding it and did not 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 utterly 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 remained silent regarding this from day to day; then he establishes all her vows or all her bonds, which are upon her; he confirms them because he remained silent regarding this in the day that he heard them.

¹⁵ But if he shall in any way make them void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

¹⁶ These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses between a man and his wife and between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.

31 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Avenge the sons of Israel upon the Midianites; afterward thou shalt be gathered unto thy peoples.

³ And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war and let them go against the Midianites and carry out the vengeance of the LORD in Midian.

⁴ A thousand out of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall ye send to the war.

⁵ So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

⁶ And Moses sent them to the war; he sent a thousand of every tribe; and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went to the war with the holy instruments, with the trumpets to blow in his hand.

⁷ ¶ And they fought against the Midianites as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

⁸ And they also slew the kings of Midian among the rest of those that were slain: namely, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian; they also slew Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.

⁹ And the sons of Israel took all the women of Midian captives and their little ones and took the spoil of all their beasts and all their flocks and all their goods.

¹⁰ And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt and all their palaces 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 unto Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and unto the congregation of the sons of Israel, unto the camp in the plains of Moab, which was by Jordan of Jericho.

¹³ ¶ And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and all the princes of the congregation went forth 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 returned from the battle.

¹⁵ And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

¹⁶ Behold, these caused the sons of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor for which 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 a man by lying with him.

¹⁸ But all the female children that have not known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.

¹⁹ And ye must abide outside the camp seven days; and whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any dead body ye shall remove the sin from them on the third and on the seventh day, both of yourselves and of your captives.

²⁰ Likewise remove all sin from all your clothing and all that is made of skins and all work of goats’ hair and every vessel made of wood.

²¹ And Eleazar, the priest, said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

²² certainly the gold and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

²³ every thing that may endure the fire, ye shall cause to pass through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless, ye shall remove the sin with the water of separation; and all that does not endure the fire ye shall cause to go through the water.

²⁴ Ye shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.

²⁵ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

²⁶ Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou and Eleazar, the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation,

²⁷ and divide the prey into two parts between those that took the part in the war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.

²⁸ And offer a tribute unto the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the sheep.

²⁹ Take it from their half and give Eleazar, the priest, the offering of the LORD.

³⁰ And of the half belonging to the sons of Israel, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of animals and give them unto 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 prey, that is the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep

³³ and seventy-two thousand oxen

³⁴ and sixty-one thousand asses

³⁵ and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known a man by lying with him.

³⁶ And the half which was the portion of those that went out to war was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.

³⁷ And the tribute for the LORD, of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.

³⁸ And the oxen were thirty-six thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was seventy-two.

³⁹ And the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the tribute for the LORD was sixty-one.

⁴⁰ And the persons were sixteen thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was thirty-two persons.

⁴¹ And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar, the priest, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁴² And of the half pertaining to the sons of Israel, which Moses divided from the men that had gone to war,

⁴³ (now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep

⁴⁴ and thirty-six thousand oxen

⁴⁵ and thirty thousand five hundred asses

⁴⁶ and sixteen thousand persons)

⁴⁷ of the half, therefore of the sons of Israel, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁴⁸ ¶ And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses,

⁴⁹ and they said unto Moses, Thy slaves have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and not one man of us is missing.

⁵⁰ We have therefore brought an offering for the LORD, each man of what he has found, of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to reconcile our souls before the LORD.

⁵¹ And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, took the gold from them, all wrought vessels.

⁵² And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

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 testimony, for a memorial of the sons of Israel before the LORD.
