^18:1And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. ^18:2And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee, and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee [shall serve] before the tent of the testimony. ^18:3And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of the whole tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they may not die, and you as well as they. ^18:4And they shall unite with thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no stranger shall come near to you. ^18:5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there come no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. ^18:6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren, the Levites, from among the children of Israel; to you are they given as a gift for Jehovah to perform the service of the tent of meeting. ^18:7But thou and thy sons with thee shall attend to your priesthood for all that concerneth the altar, and for that which is inside the veil; and ye shall perform the service: I give you your priesthood as a service of gift, and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death. ^18:8And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them, because of the anointing, and to thy sons by an everlasting statute. ^18:9This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, of all their oblations, and of all their sin-offerings, and of all their trespass-offerings, which they render unto me, it is most holy for thee and for thy sons. ^18:10As most holy shalt thou eat it: every male shall eat it; it shall be holy unto thee. ^18:11And this shall be thine: the heave-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ^18:12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they give to Jehovah, have I given thee. ^18:13The first ripe of everything that is in their land, which they shall bring to Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ^18:14Every devoted thing in Israel shall be thine. ^18:15Everything that breaketh open the womb of all flesh, which they present to Jehovah, of men or of beasts, shall be thine; nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou in any case ransom, and the firstborn of unclean beasts shalt thou ransom. ^18:16And those that are to be ransomed from a month old shalt thou ransom, according to thy valuation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. ^18:17But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, thou shalt not ransom: they are holy. Thou shalt sprinkle their blood on the altar, and their fat shalt thou burn as an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah. ^18:18And their flesh shall be thine; as the wave-breast and as the right shoulder shall it be thine. ^18:19All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute: it shall be an everlasting covenant of salt before Jehovah unto thee and thy seed with thee. ^18:20And Jehovah said to Aaron, In their land thou shalt have no inheritance, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. ^18:21And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting. ^18:22Neither shall the children of Israel henceforth come near the tent of meeting, to bear sin and die. ^18:23But the Levite, he shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. And among the children of Israel shall they possess no inheritance; ^18:24for I have given for an inheritance to the Levites the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to Jehovah; therefore I have said of them, They shall possess no inheritance among the children of Israel. ^18:25And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^18:26And to the Levites shalt thou speak, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer a heave-offering from it for Jehovah, the tenth of the tithe. ^18:27And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as the corn from the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress. ^18:28Thus ye also shall offer Jehovah's heave-offering of all your tithes, which ye take of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the priest. ^18:29Out of all that is given you ye shall offer the whole heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof the hallowed part thereof. ^18:30And thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as produce of the threshing-floor, and as produce of the winepress. ^18:31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households; for it is your reward for your service in the tent of meeting. ^18:32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, if ye heave from it the best of it; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

^19:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ^19:2This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke; ^19:3and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him. ^19:4And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times. ^19:5And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn. ^19:6And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer. ^19:7And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the even; ^19:8and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. ^19:9And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. ^19:10And he that hath gathered 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, an everlasting statute. ^19:11He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days. ^19:12He 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. ^19:13Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. ^19:14This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. ^19:15And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean. ^19:16And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. ^19:17And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel; ^19:18and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave; ^19:19and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. ^19:20And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean. ^19:21And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. ^19:22And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

^20:1And the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode at Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. ^20:2And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. ^20:3And the people contended with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah! ^20:4And why have ye brought the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts? ^20:5And why have ye made us to go up out of Egypt, to bring us to 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. ^20:6And Moses and Aaron went from before the congregation to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of Jehovah appeared to them. ^20:7And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^20:8Take the staff, and gather the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock, and shalt give the assembly and their beasts drink. ^20:9And Moses took the staff from before Jehovah, as he had commanded him. ^20:10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels: shall we bring forth to you water out of this rock? ^20:11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his staff smote the rock twice, and much water came out, and the assembly drank, and their beasts. ^20:12And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to hallow me before the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land that I have given them. ^20:13These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of Israel contended with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them. ^20:14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trouble that hath befallen us, ^20:15how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians evil entreated us and our fathers; ^20:16and when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy border. ^20:17Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through fields, or through vineyards, neither will we drink water out of the wells: we will go by the king's road; we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. ^20:18But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. ^20:19And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the high way; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it: I will only, without anything else, go through on my feet. ^20:20And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. ^20:21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; and Israel turned away from him. ^20:22And they removed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came to mount Hor. ^20:23And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron in mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying, ^20:24Aaron shall be gathered unto his peoples; for he shall not enter into the land that I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my commandment at the waters of Meribah. ^20:25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor, ^20:26and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered [to his peoples], and shall die there. ^20:27And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded, and they went up mount Hor before the eyes of the whole assembly. ^20:28And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there upon the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. ^20:29And the whole assembly saw that Aaron was dead, and they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] the whole house of Israel.

^21:1And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. ^21:2Then Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou give this people wholly into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. ^21:3And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their cities. And they called the name of the place Hormah. ^21:4And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way; ^21:5and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread. ^21:6Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died. ^21:7And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. ^21:8And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live. ^21:9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. ^21:10And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth. ^21:11And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising. ^21:12From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent Zered. ^21:13From thence they removed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. ^21:14Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon; ^21:15And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab. ^21:16And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water. ^21:17Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto it: ^21:18Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at [the word of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah; ^21:19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; ^21:20and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the waste. ^21:21And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, ^21:22Let us pass through thy land; we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed thy border. ^21:23But Sihon would not suffer Israel to go through his border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel. ^21:24And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. ^21:25And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its dependent villages. ^21:26For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon. ^21:27Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of Sihon be built and established. ^21:28For there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon. ^21:29Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites. ^21:30And we have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon; and we have laid [them] waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba. ^21:31And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. ^21:32And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that were there. ^21:33And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, for battle to Edrei. ^21:34And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. ^21:35And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, so that they left him none remaining, and took possession of his land.

^22:1And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho. ^22:2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. ^22:3And Moab was much afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. ^22:4And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. ^22:5And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is on the river in the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the land, and they abide over against me. ^22:6And now come, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are mightier than I: perhaps I may be able to smite them, and drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. ^22:7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed, having the rewards of divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. ^22:8And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, according as Jehovah shall speak unto me. And the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. ^22:9And God came to Balaam, and said, Who are these men with thee? ^22:10And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, ^22:11Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the land. Now come, curse me them: perhaps I may be able to fight against them, and drive them out. ^22:12And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed. ^22:13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go into your land; for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you. ^22:14And the princes of Moab rose up; and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam has refused to come with us. ^22:15Then sent Balak yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. ^22:16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me; ^22:17for very highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou shalt say to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. ^22:18And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my God, to do less or more. ^22:19And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, and I shall know what Jehovah will say to me further. ^22:20Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do. ^22:21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. ^22:22And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him. ^22:23And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah 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. ^22:24And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. ^22:25And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again. ^22:26Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. ^22:27And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff. ^22:28And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? ^22:29And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee! ^22:30And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No. ^22:31Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face. ^22:32And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came forth to withstand thee, for the way [thou walkest in] is for ruin before me. ^22:33And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times; had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and saved her alive. ^22:34And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again. ^22:35And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak. ^22:36And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet him, to the city of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is at the extremity of the border. ^22:37And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why didst thou not come to me? am I not surely able to honour thee? ^22:38And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. ^22:39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth. ^22:40And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him. ^22:41And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the extremity of the people.

^23:1And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. ^23:2And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar. ^23:3And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill. ^23:4And God met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon [each] altar. ^23:5And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. ^23:6And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. ^23:7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel! ^23:8How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce? ^23:9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, [it is] a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations. ^23:10Who can 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 end be like his! ^23:11And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. ^23:12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth? ^23:13And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence. ^23:14And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar. ^23:15And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder. ^23:16And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. ^23:17And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken? ^23:18Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor! ^23:19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good? ^23:20Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. ^23:21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst. ^23:22God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. ^23:23For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! ^23:24Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain. ^23:25And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. ^23:26And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do? ^23:27And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence. ^23:28And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste. ^23:29And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. ^23:30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.

^24:1And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. ^24:2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling [in tents] according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. ^24:3And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, ^24:4He saith, who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: ^24:5How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel! ^24:6Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters. ^24:7Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. ^24:8God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite [them] in pieces. ^24:9He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness: who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. ^24:10Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times! ^24:11And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour. ^24:12And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying, ^24:13If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak? ^24:14And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days. ^24:15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith, ^24:16He saith, who heareth the words of God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open: ^24:17I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. ^24:18And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly. ^24:19And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth. ^24:20And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction. ^24:21And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock; ^24:22But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. ^24:23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when God doeth this? ^24:24And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction. ^24:25And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.

^25:1And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. ^25:2And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. ^25:3And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. ^25:4And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel. ^25:5And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor. ^25:6And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting. ^25:7And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand, ^25:8and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. ^25:9And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand. ^25:10And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^25:11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. ^25:12Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace! ^25:13And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel. ^25:14And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites. ^25:15And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian. ^25:16And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^25:17Harass the Midianites, and smite them, ^25:18for they have harassed you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.

^26:1And it came to pass after the plague, that Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, ^26:2Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, according to their fathers' houses, all that go forth to military service in Israel. ^26:3And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, ^26:4From twenty years old and upward ; as Jehovah had commanded Moses and the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt. ^26:5Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: the children of Reuben: [of] Enoch, the family of the Enochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; ^26:6of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. ^26:7These are the families of the Reubenites; and they that were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty. ^26:8And the sons of Pallu: Eliab; ^26:9and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, summoned of the assembly, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the band of Korah, when they contended against Jehovah. ^26:10And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that band died, when the fire devoured the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign. ^26:11But the children of Korah died not. ^26:12The sons of Simeon, after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites; ^26:13of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites; of Saul, the family of the Saulites. ^26:14These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand two hundred. ^26:15The children of Gad, after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni,the family of the Shunites; ^26:16of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites; ^26:17of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites. ^26:18These are the families of the children of Gad according to those that were numbered of them, forty thousand five hundred. ^26:19The sons of Judah: Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. ^26:20And the sons of Judah, after their families: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Pherez, the family of the Pharzites; of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites. ^26:21And the sons of Pherez: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. ^26:22These are the families of Judah according to those that were numbered of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred. ^26:23The sons of Issachar, after their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puah, the family of the Punites; ^26:24of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. ^26:25These are the families of Issachar according to those that were numbered of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred. ^26:26The sons of Zebulun, after their families: of Sered, the family of the Sardites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. ^26:27These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those that were numbered of them, sixty thousand five hundred. ^26:28The sons of Joseph, after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. ^26:29The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites (and Machir begot Gilead); of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. ^26:30These are the sons of Gilead: of Jeezer, the family of the Jeezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helkites; ^26:31and of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; ^26:32and of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. ^26:33And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ^26:34These are the families of Manasseh; and those that were numbered of them, fifty-two thousand seven hundred. ^26:35These are the sons of Ephraim, after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites; of Becher, the family of the Bachrites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. ^26:36And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. ^26:37These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those that were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph after their families. ^26:38The sons of Benjamin, after their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; ^26:39of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites. ^26:40And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman; [of Ard] the family of the Ardites; of Naaman, the family of the Naamites. ^26:41These are the sons of Benjamin after their families; and they that were numbered of them were forty-five thousand six hundred. ^26:42These are the sons of Dan, after their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan after their families. ^26:43All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those that were numbered of them, were sixty-four thousand four hundred. ^26:44The sons of Asher, after their families: of Jimnah, the family of the Jimnites; of Jishvi, the family of the Jishvites; of Beriah, the family of the Beriites. ^26:45Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites. ^26:46And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. ^26:47These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those that were numbered of them, fifty-three thousand four hundred. ^26:48The sons of Naphtali, after their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites; ^26:49of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. ^26:50These are the families of Naphtali, according to their families; and they that were numbered of them were forty-five thousand four hundred. ^26:51These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty. ^26:52And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^26:53Unto these shall the land be divided for an inheritance according to the number of the names; ^26:54to the many thou shalt increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance; to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. ^26:55Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they inherit; ^26:56according to lot shall his inheritance be divided to each, be they many or few in number. ^26:57And these are the numbered of the Levites, after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. ^26:58These 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 Korahites. And Kohath begot Amram. ^26:59And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. ^26:60And to Aaron were born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ^26:61And Nadab and Abihu died, when they presented strange fire before Jehovah. ^26:62And those that were numbered of the [Levites] were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. ^26:63These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho. ^26:64But among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. ^26:65For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

^27:1Then drew near 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 were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. ^27:2And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and the whole assembly, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, ^27:3Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons. ^27:4Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father. ^27:5And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah. ^27:6And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^27:7The 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. ^27:8And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. ^27:9And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. ^27:10And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. ^27:11And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded Moses. ^27:12And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land that I have given unto the children of Israel. ^27:13And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered, ^27:14because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) ^27:15And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying, ^27:16Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the assembly, ^27:17who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no shepherd. ^27:18And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him; ^27:19and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before their eyes. ^27:20And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that the whole assembly of the children of Israel may obey him. ^27:21And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him, by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, even the whole assembly. ^27:22And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly. ^27:23And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him commandment, as Jehovah had said through Moses.

^28:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^28:2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, my bread for my offerings by fire of sweet odour to me, shall ye take heed to present to me at their set time. ^28:3And say unto them, This is the offering by fire which ye shall present to Jehovah: two yearling lambs without blemish, day by day, as a continual burnt-offering. ^28:4The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings; ^28:5and a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for an oblation, mingled with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin: ^28:6[it is] the continual burnt-offering which was ordained on mount Sinai for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah. ^28:7And the drink-offering thereof shall be a fourth part of a hin for one lamb; in the sanctuary shall the drink-offering of strong drink be poured out to Jehovah. ^28:8And the second lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings; [with the] like oblation as that of the morning, and the like drink-offering, shalt thou offer it as an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah. ^28:9And on the sabbath day two yearling lambs without blemish, and two tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof: ^28:10it is the burnt-offering of the sabbath, for each sabbath besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering. ^28:11And in the beginnings of your months ye shall present a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven yearling lambs without blemish. ^28:12And three tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, for the ram; ^28:13and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil as an oblation for each lamb: [it is] a burnt-offering of a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah. ^28:14And their drink-offerings: half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the monthly burnt-offering for each month throughout the months of the year. ^28:15And a buck of the goats shall be offered, for a sin-offering to Jehovah, besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering. ^28:16And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah. ^28:17And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. ^28:18On the first day shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; ^28:19and ye shall present an offering by fire, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven yearling lambs; they shall be unto you without blemish; ^28:20and their oblation shall be of fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram; ^28:21one tenth part shalt thou offer for each lamb, of the seven lambs; ^28:22and a he-goat as a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. ^28:23Besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering, shall ye offer this. ^28:24After this manner ye shall offer daily, seven days, the bread of the offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering. ^28:25And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; no manner of servile work shall ye do. ^28:26And on the day of the first-fruits, when ye present a new oblation to Jehovah, after your weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. ^28:27And ye shall present a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven yearling lambs; ^28:28and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for one bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, ^28:29one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs; ^28:30[and] one buck of the goats, to make atonement for you. ^28:31Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt-offering, and its oblation (without blemish shall they be unto you), and their drink-offerings.

^29:1And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; a day of blowing the trumpets shall it be unto you. ^29:2And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:3and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, ^29:4and one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs; ^29:5and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you, ^29:6besides the monthly burnt-offering and its oblation, and the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah. ^29:7And on the tenth of this seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; no manner of work shall ye do. ^29:8And ye shall present a burnt-offering to Jehovah for a sweet odour: one young bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs (without blemish shall they be unto you); ^29:9and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram, ^29:10one tenth part for each lamb, of the seven lambs; ^29:11[and] one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings. ^29:12And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall celebrate a feast to Jehovah seven days; ^29:13and ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs (they shall be without blemish); ^29:14and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts for each bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams, ^29:15and one tenth part for each lamb of the fourteen lambs; ^29:16and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. ^29:17And on the second day, [ye shall present] twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:18and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:19and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation, and their drink-offerings. ^29:20And on the third day, eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:21and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:22and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. ^29:23And on the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:24their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:25and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. ^29:26And on the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:27and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:28and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. ^29:29And on the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; ^29:30and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:31and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offerings. ^29:32And on the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish;

^29:37their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; ^29:38and one he-goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. ^29:39These shall ye offer to Jehovah in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your oblations, and for your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. ^29:40And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

^30:1And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah hath commanded. ^30:2If a man vow a vow to Jehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; according to all that hath gone out of his mouth shall he do. ^30:3If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth, ^30:4and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. ^30:5But if her father prohibited her in the day that he heard, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand; and Jehovah shall pardon her, because her father prohibited her. ^30:6And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul, ^30:7and her husband hear it and be silent at her in the day that he heareth it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. ^30:8But if her husband prohibit her on the day that he heareth it, and annul her vow which is upon her, and what hath passed her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, then Jehovah shall pardon her. ^30:9But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her. ^30:10And if she have vowed in her husband's house, or have bound her soul by an oath with a bond, ^30:11and her husband have heard it, and been silent at her, and hath not prohibited her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. ^30:12But if her husband have expressly annulled them on the day that he heard them, then nothing of that which is gone out of her lips as to her vows or the bond on her soul, shall stand: her husband hath annulled them; and Jehovah will pardon her. ^30:13Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it. ^30:14And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them. ^30:15But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. ^30:16These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth in her father's house.

^31:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^31:2Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples. ^31:3And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian. ^31:4Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. ^31:5And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. ^31:6And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand. ^31:7And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males. ^31:8And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword. ^31:9And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods; ^31:10and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire. ^31:11And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle; ^31:12and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho. ^31:13And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp. ^31:14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war; ^31:15and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ^31:16Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah. ^31:17And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him, ^31:18but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves. ^31:19And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives. ^31:20And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify. ^31:21And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses. ^31:22Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead, ^31:23everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water. ^31:24And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp. ^31:25And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^31:26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly; ^31:27and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly. ^31:28And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle. ^31:29Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah. ^31:30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. ^31:31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses. ^31:32And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep, ^31:33and seventy-two thousand oxen, ^31:34and sixty-one thousand asses, ^31:35and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand. ^31:36And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, ^31:37and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five; ^31:38and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two; ^31:39and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one; ^31:40and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons. ^31:41And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses. ^31:42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war, ^31:43(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred, ^31:44and thirty-six thousand oxen, ^31:45and thirty thousand five hundred asses, ^31:46and sixteen thousand human persons,) ^31:47of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. ^31:48And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses, ^31:49and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking. ^31:50So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah. ^31:51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels. ^31:52And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds. ^31:53(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.) ^31:54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.

^32:1And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle. ^32:2And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the assembly, saying, ^32:3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, ^32:4the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle; ^32:5and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us not over the Jordan. ^32:6And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall *ye* abide here? ^32:7And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them? ^32:8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land: ^32:9they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land that Jehovah had given them. ^32:10And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying, ^32:11If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me; ^32:12save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah. ^32:13And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah. ^32:14And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel. ^32:15If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. ^32:16And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones; ^32:17but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land. ^32:18We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance. ^32:19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward. ^32:20And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war, ^32:21and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him, ^32:22and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah. ^32:23But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out. ^32:24Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth. ^32:25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands. ^32:26Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead; ^32:27but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says. ^32:28So 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. ^32:29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; ^32:30but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. ^32:31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do. ^32:32We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours. ^32:33And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about. ^32:34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ^32:35and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah, ^32:36and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds. ^32:37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim, ^32:38and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built. ^32:39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. ^32:40And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. ^32:41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair. ^32:42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.

^33:1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt according to their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. ^33:2And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah; and these are their journeys according to their goings out. ^33:3They journeyed 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 a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. ^33:4And the Egyptians buried those whom Jehovah had smitten among them, all the firstborn; and upon their gods Jehovah executed judgments. ^33:5And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. ^33:6And they removed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, which is at the end of the wilderness. ^33:7And they removed from Etham, and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is opposite Baal-Zephon, and encamped before Migdol. ^33:8And they removed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. ^33:9And they removed from Marah, and came to Elim; and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm-trees, and they encamped there. ^33:10And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. ^33:11And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. ^33:12And they removed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. ^33:13And they removed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. ^33:14And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. ^33:15And they removed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. ^33:16And they removed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah. ^33:17And they removed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. ^33:18And they removed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. ^33:19And they removed from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmon-perez. ^33:20And they removed from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in Libnah. ^33:21And they removed from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah. ^33:22And they removed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. ^33:23And they removed from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shapher. ^33:24And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. ^33:25And they removed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. ^33:26And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. ^33:27And they removed from Tahath, and encamped at Terah. ^33:28And they removed from Terah, and encamped in Mithcah. ^33:29And they removed from Mithcah, and encamped in Hashmonah. ^33:30And they removed from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. ^33:31And they removed from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene-Jaakan. ^33:32And they removed from Bene-Jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad. ^33:33And they removed from Hor-hagidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. ^33:34And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Abronah. ^33:35And they removed from Abronah, and encamped at Ezion-geber. ^33:36And they removed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. ^33:37And they removed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the border of the land of Edom. ^33:38And Aaron the priest went up mount Hor by the commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first of the month. ^33:39And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on mount Hor. ^33:40And the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. ^33:41And they removed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. ^33:42And they removed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. ^33:43And they removed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. ^33:44And they removed from Oboth, and encamped in Ijim-Abarim, in the border of Moab. ^33:45And they removed from Ijim, and encamped in Dibon-Gad. ^33:46And they removed from Dibon-Gad, and encamped in Almon-Diblathaim. ^33:47And they removed from Almon-Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. ^33:48And they removed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho. ^33:49And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth unto Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab. ^33:50And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, ^33:51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, ^33:52then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste; ^33:53and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it. ^33:54And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance. ^33:55But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell. ^33:56And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I thought to do unto them.

^34:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^34:2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof. ^34:3Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward; ^34:4and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon. ^34:5And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea. ^34:6And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and [its] coast. This shall be your west border. ^34:7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor; ^34:8from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad; ^34:9and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border. ^34:10And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham: ^34:11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; ^34:12and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about. ^34:13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. ^34:14For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance; ^34:15the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising. ^34:16And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^34:17These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ^34:18And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land. ^34:19And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; ^34:20and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud; ^34:21for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon; ^34:22and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli; ^34:23for the children of Joseph: for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod, ^34:24and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; ^34:25and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince, Elizaphan the son of Pharnach; ^34:26and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince, Phaltiel the son of Azzan; ^34:27and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi; ^34:28and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince, Phedahel the son of Ammihud. ^34:29These are they whom Jehovah commanded to distribute to the children of Israel their inheritance in the land of Canaan.

^35:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, ^35:2Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in; and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites. ^35:3And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. ^35:4And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand cubits round about. ^35:5And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall have this as suburbs of the cities. ^35:6And [among] the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites [shall be] the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither, and besides them ye shall give forty-two cities: ^35:7all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs. ^35:8And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall take little; each one according to his inheritance which he will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites. ^35:9And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^35:10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ^35:11then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally. ^35:12And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment. ^35:13And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you. ^35:14Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. ^35:15For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge, that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee thither. ^35:16And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death. ^35:17And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death. ^35:18Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death; ^35:19the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death. ^35:20And if he thrust at him out of hatred, or hurl at him intentionally, so that he die, ^35:21or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. ^35:22But if he have thrust at him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him anything unintentionally, ^35:23or [have smitten him] with any stone wherewith one may die, without seeing him, and have cast it upon him so that he die, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm: ^35:24then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments; ^35:25and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. ^35:26But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled, ^35:27and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him; ^35:28for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession. ^35:29And this shall be unto you a statute of right throughout your generations in all your dwellings. ^35:30Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die. ^35:31And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death. ^35:32And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. ^35:33And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. ^35:34And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.

^36:1And the chief fathers of families of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: ^36:2and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. ^36:3Now 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 added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance. ^36:4And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. ^36:5And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. ^36:6This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father, ^36:7that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. ^36:8And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers, ^36:9and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance. ^36:10Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; ^36:11and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons. ^36:12To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. ^36:13These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
