8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent and lift it up as a banner, and it shall be that anyone that is bitten and looks upon it shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass and put it up as a banner, and it came to pass that when a serpent bit anyone, he beheld the serpent of brass, and lived.
10 ¶ And the sons of Israel set forward and pitched camp in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12 From there they removed and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the borders of the Amorite; for Arnon is the border of Moab between Moab and the Amorite.
14 Therefore it is said in the book of the battles 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 upon the border of Moab.
16 And from there they went to Beer; this is the well of which the LORD spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it.
18 The princes dug the well, the willing people dug it, and 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 fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.
21 ¶ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn into the fields or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the wells; but we will go along by the king’s high way until we are past thy borders.
23 But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border; instead 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 smote him with the edge of the sword and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the sons of Ammon, for the border of the sons of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken out of his hand all his land unto Arnon.
27 Therefore those that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared;
28 for there is a fire 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 thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh; he has put thy sons to flight and thy daughters into captivity because of Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 And Heshbon destroyed their kingdom even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah and Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorite.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof and drove out the Amorite that was 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 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hand and all his people and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him and his sons and all his people until there was none left him alive; and they possessed his land.
22 ¶ And the sons of Israel set forward and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan in front of Jericho.
2 And Balak, the son of Zippor, saw all that Israel had done to the Amorite.
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people because they were many; and Moab was distressed because of the sons of Israel.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the herbs of the field. And Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of the Moabites at that time.
5 Therefore he sent messengers unto Balaam, the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the river Eufrates in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me.
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people, for they are too mighty for me; peradventure I shall be able to smite them and drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest shall be blessed, and he whom thou cursest shall be cursed.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the incantations in their hand; and they came unto Balaam and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will recite the words unto you when the LORD shall speak unto me. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 And God came unto Balaam and said, Who are these men with thee?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent unto me, saying,
11 Behold, this people that has come out of Egypt, covers the face of the earth; come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them and drive them out.
12 Then God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; neither shalt thou curse the people; for they are blessed.
13 So Balaam rose up in the morning and said unto the princes of Balak, Go back to your land; for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak and said, Balaam refused to come with us.
15 ¶ And Balak sent yet again princes, more and more honourable than those.
16 And they came to Balaam and said to him, Thus saith Balak, the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me;
17 for I will without a doubt honour thee greatly, and I will do whatever thou sayest unto me; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18 And Balaam answered and said unto the slaves of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do anything small or great.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night that I may know what the LORD will say unto me again.
20 And God came unto Balaam at night and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
21 So Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his female 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 as an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way and went into the field. Then Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way.
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 unto the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam; and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 Then the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am I not thine ass upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so unto thee? 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 unto him, Why hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? Behold, I went out as thine adversary, because thy way is perverse before me.
33 The ass saw me and turned from me these three times; and if she had not turned from me, I also now would slay thee and leave her alive.
34 Then Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I did not know that thou didst stand in the way against me; now therefore, if it displease thee, I will return.
35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 ¶ And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is next to the border of Arnon, which is at the limit of his territory.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? Why hast thou not come unto me? Am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Behold, I am come unto thee; may I now say something? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
40 And Balak killed 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, and from there he saw the utmost part of the people.
23 ¶ And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell thee. And thus he went alone.
4 And God met Balaam; and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon each altar a bullock and a ram.
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, behold, 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, denounce Israel.
8 Why should I curse one whom God has not cursed? And why should I denounce one whom the LORD has not denounced?
9 For from the top of the rocks I have seen him, and from the hills I beheld him; behold, a people that shall dwell in confidence and shall not be counted among the Gentiles.
10 Who shall count the dust of Jacob and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11 Then Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD has put in my mouth?
13 ¶ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from which thou may see them; thou hast seen but the utmost part of them and hast not seen them all; and from there thou shalt curse them for me.
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 Then he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
16 And the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said unto him, Go again unto Balak and say thus.
17 And he came unto him, and behold, he stood by his burnt offering and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What has the LORD spoken?
18 Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent; he said and shall he not do it? He spoke and shall he not execute it?
20 Behold, I have received blessing; and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen rebellion in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the battle-cry of a king is in him.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he has, as it were the strength of a unicorn.
23 Because there is no enchantment in Jacob, neither is there any divination in Israel. According to this time, it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What God has made!
24 Behold the people, who shall rise up as a great lion and lift up himself as a young lion; he shall not lie down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
25 Then Balak said unto Balaam, Now that you do not curse them, do not bless them either.
26 Then Balaam said unto Balak, Did I not tell thee that all that the LORD says unto me, that I must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou may curse them for me from there.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looks toward Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said unto 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.
24 ¶ And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as the first and second times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness;
2 and lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 Then 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 who has heard the words of God has said, who saw the vision of the Almighty, fallen, but having his eyes open:
5 How beautiful are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy habitations, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedars beside the waters.
7 From his branches he shall distil waters, 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 forth out of Egypt; he has, as it were, the strength of a unicorn; he shall eat up the Gentiles his enemies and shall break their bones and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion and as a great lion; who shall awaken him? Blessed is he that blesses thee, and cursed is he that curses thee.
10 ¶ Then Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and smiting his hands together he said, I called thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore, now flee thou to thy place; I said that I would honour thee; but, behold, the LORD has deprived thee of honour.
12 And Balaam replied unto Balak, Did I not declare also unto thy messengers which thou didst send unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own heart; but what the LORD saith that will I speak?
14 Therefore, behold, I go now unto my people; come and I will indicate unto thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 ¶ And he took up his parable and said, Balaam, the son of Beor, has said, the man whose eyes are open has said,
16 he who has heard the words of God has said, and he who knows the knowledge of the most High, he who saw the vision of the Almighty, fallen, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near by; there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel and shall smite the corners of Moab and destroy all the sons of Seth.
18 And Edom shall be taken; Seir also shall be taken by his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion and shall destroy what remains of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek, head of the Gentiles; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenite and took up his parable and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock;
22 because the Kenite shall be thrown out, when Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable again and said, Alas, who shall live when God shall do these things!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim and shall afflict Asshur and shall afflict Eber, but he also shall perish for ever.
25 Then Balaam rose up and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25 ¶ And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to fornicate with the daughters of Moab,
2 who called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the princes of the people and disjoint them before the LORD hanging them from a tree against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 Then Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 ¶ Then, behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
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 of the sons of Israel was stayed.
9 And those that died in that plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, being zealous for my sake among them, therefore I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Because of this say unto them, Behold, I establish my covenant of peace with him;
13 and he shall have, and his seed after him, even the covenant of the everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for his God and reconciled the sons of Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianite, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a family of the tribe of Simeon.
15 And the name of the Midianite woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, prince of peoples, of the house of the father, in Midian.
16 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17 Declare war on the Midianites and smite them;
18 for they treated you as enemies with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
26 ¶ And it came to pass after the plague that the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by the houses of their fathers, 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 the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
4 Count the people from twenty years old and upward as the LORD commanded Moses and the sons of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt.
5 ¶ Reuben, firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: Enoch, of whom was the family of the Enochites; 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 numbered were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.
8 And the sons of Pallu: Eliab.
9 And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, who were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD.
10 And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men and they became an example.

52 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
54 To those that are many thou shalt give more inheritance, and to those that are few thou shalt give less inheritance; to each one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.
55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
56 According to the lot shall the inheritance be divided between those that are many and those that are few.
57 ¶ And these are those that were numbered of the Levites by their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
59 And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom her mother bore to Levi in Egypt: and she bore unto Amram Aaron and Moses and Miriam, their sister.
60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel because no inheritance was to be given them among the sons of Israel.
63 ¶ These are those that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar, the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho.
64 And among these there was not a man of those whom Moses and Aaron the priest had numbered when they numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh and Joshua, the son of Nun.
27 ¶ Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, 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 testimony, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of those that 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 has no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren, and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he has no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
11 And if his father has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his lineage, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the sons of Israel a law of rights, as the LORD commanded Moses.
12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Climb up this Mount Abarim, and thou shalt see the land which I have given unto the sons of Israel.
13 And after thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye were rebels to my word in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me in the waters before their eyes. These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 ¶ Then Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out and who may bring them in that the congregation of the LORD not be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him
19 and set him before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the congregation and give him a charge in their presence.
20 And thou shalt put some of thy splendour upon him that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may hear him.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar, the priest, whom he shall consult in the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the sons of Israel with him, even 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 upon him and gave him a charge, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.
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.
32 ¶ Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock, and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, it seemed unto them that the place was a place for livestock.
2 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses and to Eleazar, the priest, and unto 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 which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and thy slaves have livestock.
5 Therefore, they said, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy slaves for a possession and do not make us pass the Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Why do ye discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which 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 unto the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel that they should not go into the land which 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 upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they were not perfect in following me,
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun, for they were perfect in following 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, behold, ye are risen up in the place of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave you in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 ¶ Then they came near unto him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones,
17 but we ourselves will go arm ourselves and go with diligence before the sons of Israel until we have brought them unto their place, and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our houses until the sons of Israel have inherited each man his inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan or forward because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
