THE FOURTH BOOK OF MOSES CALLED
Numbers
Part 2 (Chapters 19-36)
19:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying,
19:2: This is the ordinance of the law which
the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no
blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
19:3: And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the
priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one
shall slay her before his face:
19:4: And Eleazar the priest shall take of her
blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before
the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
19:5: And one shall burn the heifer in his sight;
her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he
burn:
19:6: And the priest shall take cedar wood, and
hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning
of the heifer.
19:7: Then the priest shall wash his clothes,
and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the
even.
19:8: And he that burneth her shall wash his
clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean
until the even.
19:9: And a man that is clean shall gather up
the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a
clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the
children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification
for sin.
19:10: And he that gathereth the ashes of the
heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even:
and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger
that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11: He that toucheth the dead body of any
man shall be unclean seven days.
19:12: He shall purify himself with it on the
third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he
purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall
not be clean.
19:13: Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any
man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle
of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because
the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be
unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
19:14: This is the law, when a man dieth in a
tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent,
shall be unclean seven days.
19:15: And every open vessel, which hath no covering
bound upon it, is unclean.
19:16: And whosoever toucheth one that is slain
with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of
a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
19:17: And for an unclean person they shall take
of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and
running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
19:18: And a clean person shall take hyssop,
and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon
all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon
him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19:19: And the clean person shall sprinkle upon
the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the
seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
19:20: But the man that shall be unclean, and
shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among
the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the
LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him;
he is unclean.
19:21: And it shall be a perpetual statute unto
them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash
his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall
be unclean until even.
19:22: And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth
shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean
until even.
20:1: Then came the children of Israel, even
the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month:
and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was
buried there.
20:2: And there was no water for the congregation:
and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against
Aaron.
20:3: And the people chode with Moses, and spake,
saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before
the LORD!
20:4: And why have ye brought up the congregation
of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should
die there?
20:5: And wherefore have ye made us to come up
out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place
of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither
is there any water to drink.
20:6: And Moses and Aaron went from the presence
of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared
unto them.
20:7: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20:8: Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly
together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock
before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou
shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt
give the congregation and their beasts drink.
20:9: And Moses took the rod from before the
LORD, as he commanded him.
20:10: And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation
together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye
rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
20:11: And Moses lifted up his hand, and with
his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly,
and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
20:12: And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron,
Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the
children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation
into the land which I have given them.
20:13: This is the water of Meribah; because
the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified
in them.
20:14: And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh
unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest
all the travail that hath befallen us:
20:15: How our fathers went down into Egypt,
and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed
us, and our fathers:
20:16: And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard
our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of
Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost
of thy border:
20:17: Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy
country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards,
neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by
the king's highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to
the left, until we have passed thy borders.
20:18: And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not
pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
20:19: And the children of Israel said unto him,
We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy
water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any
thing else, go through on my feet.
20:20: And he said, Thou shalt not go through.
And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong
hand.
20:21: Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage
through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
20:22: And the children of Israel, even the whole
congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
20:23: And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron
in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
20:24: Aaron shall be gathered unto his people:
for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the
children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the
water of Meribah.
20:25: Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring
them up unto mount Hor:
20:26: And strip Aaron of his garments, and put
them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his
people, and shall die there.
20:27: And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and
they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
20:28: And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments,
and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the
top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
20:29: And when all the congregation saw that
Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the
house of Israel.
21:1: And when king Arad the Canaanite, which
dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of
the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them
prisoners.
21:2: And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and
said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then
I will utterly destroy their cities.
21:3: And the LORD hearkened to the voice of
Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed
them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
21:4: And they journeyed from mount Hor by the
way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul
of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
21:5: And the people spake against God, and against
Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in
the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water;
and our soul loatheth this light bread.
21:6: And the LORD sent fiery serpents among
the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel
died.
21:7: Therefore the people came to Moses, and
said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and
against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents
from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8: And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee
a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to
pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it,
shall live.
21:9: And Moses made a serpent of brass, and
put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had
bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
21:10: And the children of Israel set forward,
and pitched in Oboth.
21:11: And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched
at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward
the sunrising.
21:12: From thence they removed, and pitched
in the valley of Zared.
21:13: From thence they removed, and pitched
on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh
out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of
Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14: Wherefore it is said in the book of the
wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks
of Arnon,
21:15: And at the stream of the brooks that goeth
down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
21:16: And from thence they went to Beer: that
is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people
together, and I will give them water.
21:17: Then Israel sang this song, Spring up,
O well; sing ye unto it:
21:18: The princes digged the well, the nobles
of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with
their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
21:19: And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from
Nahaliel to Bamoth:
21:20: And from Bamoth in the valley, that is
in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward
Jeshimon.
21:21: And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon
king of the Amorites, saying,
21:22: 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 well: but we will go along by the king's
high way, until we be past thy borders.
21:23: And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass
through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together,
and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to
Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21:24: And Israel smote him with the edge of
the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even
unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of
Ammon was strong.
21:25: And Israel took all these cities: and
Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and
in all the villages thereof.
21:26: For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the
king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of
Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
21:27: Wherefore they that speak in proverbs
say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
21:28: For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon,
a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and
the lords of the high places of Arnon.
21:29: Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O
people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his
daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
21:30: We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished
even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah,
which reacheth unto Medeba.
21:31: Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
21:32: And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and
they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that
were there.
21:33: 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.
21:34: And 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, which dwelt at Heshbon.
21:35: So they smote him, and his sons, and all
his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed
his land.
22:1: And the children of Israel set forward,
and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
22:2: And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that
Israel had done to the Amorites.
22:3: And Moab was sore afraid of the people,
because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the
children of Israel.
22:4: And Moab said unto the elders of Midian,
Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as
the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of
Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
22:5: He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam
the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of
the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there
is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of
the earth, and they abide over against me:
22:6: Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse
me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I
shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them
out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed,
and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
22:7: And the elders of Moab and the elders of
Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand;
and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
22:8: And he said unto them, Lodge here this
night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak
unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
22:9: And God came unto Balaam, and said, What
men are these with thee?
22:10: And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son
of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
22:11: Behold, there is a people come out of
Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me
them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive
them out.
22:12: And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not
go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
22:13: And Balaam rose up in the morning, and
said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the
LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
22:14: And the princes of Moab rose up, and they
went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
22:15: And Balak sent yet again princes, more,
and more honourable than they.
22:16: 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:
22:17: For I will promote thee unto very great
honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore,
I pray thee, curse me this people.
22:18: And Balaam answered and said unto the
servants 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
less or more.
22:19: Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also
here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me
more.
22:20: 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.
22:21: And Balaam rose up in the morning, and
saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22:22: And God's anger was kindled because he
went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary
against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants
were with him.
22:23: And the ass saw the angel of the LORD
standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the
ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and
Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
22:24: 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.
22:25: 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.
22:26: 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.
22:27: 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.
22:28: And 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?
22:29: And Balaam said unto the ass, Because
thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand,
for now would I kill thee.
22:30: And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I
thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine
unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said,
Nay.
22:31: 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.
22:32: And the angel of the LORD said unto him,
Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold,
I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before
me:
22:33: And the ass saw me, and turned from me
these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also
I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
22:34: And Balaam said unto the angel of the
LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the
way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get
me back again.
22:35: 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.
22:36: And when Balak heard that Balaam was come,
he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border
of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
22:37: And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not
earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou
not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
22:38: And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come
unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the
word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
22:39: And Balaam went with Balak, and they came
unto Kirjath-huzoth.
22:40: And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and
sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
22:41: And it came to pass on the morrow, that
Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of
Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
23:1: And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here
seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
23:2: And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and
Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
23:3: And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy
burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come
to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And
he went to an high place.
23:4: And God met Balaam: and he said unto him,
I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar
a bullock and a ram.
23:5: And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth,
and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
23:6: And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood
by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
23:7: And he took up his parable, and said, Balak
the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains
of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
23:8: How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?
or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
23:9: For from the top of the rocks I see him,
and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone,
and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
23:10: Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the
number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of
the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
23:11: And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast
thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold,
thou hast blessed them altogether.
23:12: And he answered and said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
23:13: And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray
thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see
them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not
see them all: and curse me them from thence.
23:14: 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.
23:15: And he said unto Balak, Stand here by
thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
23:16: And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word
in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
23:17: And when he came to him, behold, he stood
by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And
Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
23:18: And he took up his parable, and said,
Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19: God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and
shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make
it good?
23:20: Behold, I have received commandment to
bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
23:21: He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God
is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
23:22: God brought them out of Egypt; he hath
as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23:23: Surely there is no enchantment against
Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according
to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath
God wrought!
23:24: Behold, the people shall rise up as a
great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not
lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the
slain.
23:25: And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse
them at all, nor bless them at all.
23:26: But Balaam answered and said unto Balak,
Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must
do?
23:27: And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray
thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will
please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
23:28: And Balak brought Balaam unto the top
of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
23:29: And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here
seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30: And Balak did as Balaam had said, and
offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
24:1: And when Balaam saw that it pleased the
LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek
for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
24:2: And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw
Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the
spirit of God came upon him.
24:3: And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam
the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath
said:
24:4: He hath said, which heard the words of
God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance,
but having his eyes open:
24:5: How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and
thy tabernacles, O Israel!
24:6: As the valleys are they spread forth, as
gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which
the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
24:7: He shall pour the water out of his buckets,
and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher
than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
24:8: God brought him forth out of Egypt; he
hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the
nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them
through with his arrows.
24:9: He couched, he lay down as a lion, and
as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth
thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
24:10: And Balak's anger was kindled against
Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam,
I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether
blessed them these three times.
24:11: Therefore now flee thou to thy place:
I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD
hath kept thee back from honour.
24:12: And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not
also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
24:13: 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 mine own mind; but what the
LORD saith, that will I speak?
24:14: And now, behold, I go unto my people:
come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall
do to thy people in the latter days.
24:15: And he took up his parable, and said,
Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open
hath said:
24:16: He hath said, which heard the words of
God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision
of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
24:17: I shall see him, but not now: I shall
behold him, but not nigh: 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 children of Sheth.
24:18: And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also
shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

25:7: 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;
25:8: And he went after the man of Israel into
the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel,
and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from
the children of Israel.
25:9: And those that died in the plague were
twenty and four thousand.
25:10: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11: Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son
of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children
of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I
consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12: Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him
my covenant of peace:

they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter
of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which
was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
27:17: Which may go out before them, and which
may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which
may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as
sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18: And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee
Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine
hand upon him;
27:19: And set him before Eleazar the priest,
and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their
sight.
27:20: And thou shalt put some of thine honour
upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel
may be obedient.
27:21: And he shall stand before Eleazar the
priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim
before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word
they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with
him, even all the congregation.

me in their due season.

thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet

and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound
her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
30:9: But every vow of a widow, and of her that
is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand
against her.
30:10: And if she vowed in her husband's house,
or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
30:11: And her husband heard it, and held his
peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12: But if her husband hath utterly made them
void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of
her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul,
shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD
shall forgive her.
30:13: Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict
the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make
it void.
30:14: But if her husband altogether hold his
peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows,
or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because
he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
30:15: But if he shall any ways make them void
after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16: These are the statutes, which the LORD
commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father
and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
31:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2: Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
31:3: And Moses spake unto the people, saying,
Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the
Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
31:4: Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all
the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
31:5: So there were delivered out of the thousands
of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for
war.
31:6: And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand
of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow
in his hand.
31:7: And they warred against the Midianites,
as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
31:8: And they slew the kings of Midian, beside
the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and
Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the
son of Beor they slew with the sword.
31:9: And the children of Israel took all the
women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the
spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their
goods.
31:10: And they burnt all their cities wherein
they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
31:11: And they took all the spoil, and all the
prey, both of men and of beasts.
31:12: And they brought the captives, and the
prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto
the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the
plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
31:13: And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and
all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without
the camp.
31:14: And Moses was wroth with the officers
of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over
hundreds, which came from the battle.
31:15: And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved
all the women alive?
31:16: Behold, these caused the children of Israel,
through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the
LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation
of the LORD.
31:17: Now therefore kill every male among the
little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying
with him.
31:18: But all the women children, that have
not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
31:19: And do ye abide without the camp seven
days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched
any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third
day, and on the seventh day.
31:20: And purify all your raiment, and all that
is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things
made of wood.
31:21: 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;
31:22: Only the gold, and the silver, the brass,
the iron, the tin, and the lead,
31:23: Every thing that may abide the fire, ye
shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless
it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that
abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
31:24: And ye shall wash your clothes on the
seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come
into the camp.
31:25: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26: Take the sum of the prey that was taken,
both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the
chief fathers of the congregation:
31:27: And divide the prey into two parts; between
them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and
between all the congregation:
31:28: And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the
men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred,
both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and
of the sheep:
31:29: Take it of their half, and give it unto
Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
31:30: And of the children of Israel's half,
thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves,
of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and
give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the LORD.
31:31: And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as
the LORD commanded Moses.
31:32: And the booty, being the rest of the prey
which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and
seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
31:33: And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34: And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35: And thirty and two thousand persons in
all, of woman that had not known man by lying with him.
31:36: And the half, which was the portion of
them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand
and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
31:37: And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was
six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
31:38: And the beeves were thirty and six thousand;
of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
31:39: And the asses were thirty thousand and
five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
31:40: And the persons were sixteen thousand;
of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
31:41: And Moses gave the tribute, which was
the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
31:42: And of the children of Israel's half,
which Moses divided from the men that warred,
31:43: (Now the half that pertained unto the
congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and
seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
31:44: And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45: And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46: And sixteen thousand persons;)
31:47: Even of the children of Israel's half,
Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and
gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle
of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
31:48: And the officers which were over thousands
of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds,
came near unto Moses:
31:49: And they said unto Moses, Thy servants
have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge,
and there lacketh not one man of us.
31:50: We have therefore brought an oblation
for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains,
and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement
for our souls before the LORD.
31:51: And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
31:52: 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.
31:53: (For the men of war had taken spoil, every
man for himself.)
31:54: And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought
it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for
the children of Israel before the LORD.
32:1: Now the children of Reuben and the children
of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw
the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place
was a place for cattle;
32:2: The children of Gad and the children of
Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and
unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
32:3: Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,
and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4: Even the country which the LORD smote before
the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants
have cattle:
32:5: Wherefore, said they, if we have found
grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for
a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
32:6: And Moses said unto the children of Gad
and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war,
and shall ye sit here?
32:7: And wherefore discourage ye the heart of
the children of Israel from going over into the land which the
LORD hath given them?
32:8: Thus did your fathers, when I sent them
from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
32:9: For when they went up unto the valley of
Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children
of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD
had given them.
32:10: And the LORD's anger was kindled the same
time, and he sware, saying,
32:11: Surely none of the men that came up out
of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land
which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because
they have not wholly followed me:
32:12: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite,
and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
32:13: 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.
32:14: And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers'
stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger
of the LORD toward Israel.
32:15: For if ye turn away from after him, he
will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy
all this people.
32:16: And they came near unto him, and said,
We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our
little ones:
32:17: But we ourselves will go ready armed before
the children 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.
32:18: We will not return unto our houses, until
the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19: For we will not inherit with them on yonder
side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to
us on this side Jordan eastward.
32:20: And Moses said unto them, If ye will do
this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
32:21: And will go all of you armed over Jordan
before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before
him,
32:22: And the land be subdued before the LORD:
then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD,
and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before
the LORD.
32:23: But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have
sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
32:24: Build you cities for your little ones,
and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out
of your mouth.
32:25: And the children of Gad and the children
of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my
lord commandeth.
32:26: Our little ones, our wives, our flocks,
and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27: But thy servants will pass over, every
man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
32:28: So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar
the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel:
32:29: And Moses said unto them, If the children
of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan,
every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall
be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead
for a possession:
32:30: But if they will not pass over with you
armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31: And the children of Gad and the children
of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants,
so will we do.
32:32: We will pass over armed before the LORD
into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance
on this side Jordan may be ours.
32:33: And Moses gave unto them, even to the
children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half
the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the
land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of
the country round about.
32:34: And the children of Gad built Dibon, and
Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35: And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36: And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced
cities: and folds for sheep.
32:37: And the children of Reuben built Heshbon,
and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
32:38: And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names
being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities
which they builded.
32:39: And the children of Machir the son of
Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite
which was in it.
32:40: And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the
son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
32:41: And Jair the son of Manasseh went and
took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.
32:42: And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the
villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
33:1: These are the journeys of the children
of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their
armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
33:2: And Moses wrote their goings out according
to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are
their journeys according to their goings out.
33:3: And they departed from Rameses in the first
month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow
after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high
hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
33:4: For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn,
which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the
LORD executed judgments.
33:5: And the children of Israel removed from
Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
33:6: And they departed from Succoth, and pitched
in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
33:7: And they removed from Etham, and turned
again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they
pitched before Migdol.
33:8: And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth,
and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and
went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched
in Marah.
33:9: And they removed from Marah, and came unto
Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore
and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
33:10: And they removed from Elim, and encamped
by the Red sea.
33:11: And they removed from the Red sea, and
encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
33:12: And they took their journey out of the
wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
33:13: And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped
in Alush.
33:14: And they removed from Alush, and encamped
at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
33:15: And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched
in the wilderness of Sinai.
33:16: And they removed from the desert of Sinai,
and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.
33:17: And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah,
and encamped at Hazeroth.
33:18: And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched
in Rithmah.
33:19: And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched
at Rimmon-parez.
33:20: And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and
pitched in Libnah.
33:21: And they removed from Libnah, and pitched
at Rissah.
33:22: And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched
in Kehelathah.
33:23: And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched
in mount Shapher.
33:24: And they removed from mount Shapher, and
encamped in Haradah.
33:25: And they removed from Haradah, and pitched
in Makheloth.
33:26: And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped
at Tahath.
33:27: And they departed from Tahath, and pitched
at Tarah.
33:28: And they removed from Tarah, and pitched
in Mithcah.
33:29: And they went from Mithcah, and pitched
in Hashmonah.
33:30: And they departed from Hashmonah, and
encamped at Moseroth.
33:31: And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched
in Bene-jaakan.
33:32: And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and
encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
33:33: And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched
in Jotbathah.
33:34: And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped
at Ebronah.
33:35: And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped
at Ezion-gaber.
33:36: And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and
pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
33:37: And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched
in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
33:38: And Aaron the priest went up into mount
Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth
year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of
Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
33:39: And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and
three years old when he died in mount Hor.
33:40: And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt
in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the
children of Israel.
33:41: And they departed from mount Hor, and
pitched in Zalmonah.
33:42: And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched
in Punon.
33:43: And they departed from Punon, and pitched
in Oboth.
33:44: And they departed from Oboth, and pitched
in Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab.
33:45: And they departed from Iim, and pitched
in Dibon-gad.
33:46: And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped
in Almon-diblathaim.
33:47: And they removed from Almon-diblathaim,
and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48: And they departed from the mountains of
Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
33:49: And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth
even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
33:50: And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
33:51: Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of
Canaan;
33:52: Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants
of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and
destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their
high places:
33:53: And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants
of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land
to possess it.
33:54: And ye shall divide the land by lot for
an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give
the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less
inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where
his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall
inherit.
33:55: But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants
of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that
those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes,
and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein
ye dwell.
33:56: Moreover it shall come to pass, that I
shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
34:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2: Command the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the
land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land
of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3: Then your south quarter shall be from the
wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border
shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
34:4: And your border shall turn from the south
to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth
thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go
on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
34:5: And the border shall fetch a compass from
Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall
be at the sea.
34:6: And as for the western border, ye shall
even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west
border.
34:7: And this shall be your north border: from
the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
34:8: From mount Hor ye shall point out your
border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the
border shall be to Zedad:
34:9: And the border shall go on to Ziphron,
and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be
your north border.
34:10: And ye shall point out your east border
from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
34:11: And the coast shall go down from Shepham
to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend,
and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
34:12: And the border shall go down to Jordan,
and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall
be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
34:13: And Moses commanded the children of Israel,
saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which
the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half
tribe:
34:14: For the tribe of the children of Reuben
according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the
children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have
received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have
received their inheritance:
34:15: The two tribes and the half tribe have
received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward,
toward the sunrising.
34:16: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17: These are the names of the men which shall
divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son
of Nun.
34:18: And ye shall take one prince of every
tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
34:19: And the names of the men are these: Of
the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
34:20: And of the tribe of the children of Simeon,
Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
34:21: Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son
of Chislon.
34:22: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
34:23: The prince of the children of Joseph,
for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of
Ephod.
34:24: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
34:25: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
34:26: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
34:27: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
34:28: And the prince of the tribe of the children
of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
34:29: These are they whom the LORD commanded
to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land
of Canaan.
35:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
35:2: Command the children of Israel, that they
give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities
to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for
the cities round about them.
35:3: And the cities shall they have to dwell
in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for
their goods, and for all their beasts.
35:4: And the suburbs of the cities, which ye
shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the
city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
35:5: And ye shall measure from without the city
on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two
thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and
on the north side two thousand cubits and the city shall be in
the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
35:6: And among the cities which ye shall give
unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye
shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and
to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
35:7: So all the cities which ye shall give to
the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give
with their suburbs.
35:8: And the cities which ye shall give shall
be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that
have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall
give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites
according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
35:9: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10: Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
35:11: Then ye shall appoint you cities to be
cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which
killeth any person at unawares.
35:12: And they shall be unto you cities for
refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he
stand before the congregation in judgment.
35:13: And of these cities which ye shall give
six cities shall ye have for refuge.
35:14: Ye shall give three cities on this side
Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan,
which shall be cities of refuge.
35:15: These six cities shall be a refuge, both
for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the
sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares
may flee thither.
35:16: And if he smite him with an instrument
of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
35:17: And if he smite him with throwing a stone,
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer
shall surely be put to death.
35:18: Or if he smite him with an hand weapon
of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:19: The revenger of blood himself shall slay
the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
35:20: But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl
at him by laying of wait, that he die;
35:21: Or in enmity smite him with his hand,
that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for
he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer,
when he meeteth him.
35:22: But if he thrust him suddenly without
enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
35:23: Or with any stone, wherewith a man may
die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was
not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
35:24: Then the congregation shall judge between
the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
35:25: And the congregation shall deliver the
slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation
shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled:
and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which
was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26: But if the slayer shall at any time come
without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27: And the revenger of blood find him without
the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood
kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
35:28: Because he should have remained in the
city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after
the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the
land of his possession.
35:29: So these things shall be for a statute
of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30: Whoso killeth any person, the murderer
shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness
shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
35:31: Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction
for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall
be surely put to death.
35:32: And ye shall take no satisfaction for
him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come
again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
35:33: So ye shall not pollute the land wherein
ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of
him that shed it.
35:34: Defile not therefore the land which ye
shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the
children of Israel.
36:1: And the chief fathers of the families of
the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh,
of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before
Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children
of Israel:
36:2: And they said, The LORD commanded my lord
to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of
Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance
of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
36:3: And if they be married to any of the sons
of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their
inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and
shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
36:4: And when the jubile of the children of
Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall
their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe
of our fathers.
36:5: And Moses commanded the children of Israel
according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons
of Joseph hath said well.
36:6: This is the thing which the LORD doth command
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry
to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their
father shall they marry.
36:7: So shall not the inheritance of the children
of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children
of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of
his fathers.
36:8: And every daughter, that possesseth an
inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife
unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children
of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
36:9: Neither shall the inheritance remove from
one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the
children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
36:10: Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did
the daughters of Zelophehad:
36:11: For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah,
and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their
father's brothers' sons:
36:12: And they were married into the families
of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance
remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
36:13: These are the commandments and the judgments,
which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children
of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
