04:007:089 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.
04:008:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:002 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
04:008:003 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
04:008:004 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
04:008:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:006 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
04:008:007 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
04:008:008 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering,even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullockshalt thou take for a sin offering.
04:008:009 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of thecongregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of thechildren of Israel together:
04:008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
04:008:011 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
04:008:012 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
04:008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before hissons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
04:008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the childrenof Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
04:008:015 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
04:008:016 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
04:008:017 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
04:008:018 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
04:008:019 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
04:008:020 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
04:008:021 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
04:008:022 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
04:008:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:024 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
04:008:025 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
04:008:026 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle ofthe congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service.Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
04:009:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, inthe first month of the second year after they were come out ofthe land of Egypt, saying,
04:009:002 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
04:009:003 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
04:009:004 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
04:009:005 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the firstmonth at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to allthat the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
04:009:006 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead bodyof a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day:and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
04:009:007 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
04:009:008 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
04:009:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:009:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
04:009:011 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
04:009:012 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
04:009:013 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, andforbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall becut off from among his people: because he brought not theoffering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shallbear his sin.
04:009:014 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep thepassover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of thepassover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do:ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and forhim that was born in the land.
04:009:015 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
04:009:016 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
04:009:017 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, thenafter that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the placewhere the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitchedtheir tents.
04:009:018 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israeljourneyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: aslong as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested intheir tents.
04:009:019 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
04:009:020 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon thetabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD theyabode in their tents, and according to the commandment of theLORD they journeyed.
04:009:021 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto themorning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, thenthey journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that thecloud was taken up, they journeyed.
04:009:022 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that thecloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, thechildren of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not:but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
04:009:023 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, andat the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept thecharge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the handof Moses.
04:010:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:010:002 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thoumake them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of theassembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
04:010:003 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shallassemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle ofthe congregation.
04:010:004 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, whichare heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselvesunto thee.
04:010:005 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
04:010:006 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
04:010:007 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
04:010:008 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
04:010:009 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
04:010:010 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
04:010:011 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month,in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off thetabernacle of the testimony.
04:010:012 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of thewilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness ofParan.
04:010:013 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
04:010:014 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
04:010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar wasNethaneel the son of Zuar.
04:010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun wasEliab the son of Helon.
04:010:017 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon andthe sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
04:010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
04:010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon wasShelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
04:010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad wasEliasaph the son of Deuel.
04:010:021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and theother did set up the tabernacle against they came.
04:010:022 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
04:010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh wasGamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
04:010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin wasAbidan the son of Gideoni.
04:010:025 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
04:010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher wasPagiel the son of Ocran.
04:010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali wasAhira the son of Enan.
04:010:028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel accordingto their armies, when they set forward.
04:010:029 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
04:010:030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
04:010:031 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thouknowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thoumayest be to us instead of eyes.
04:010:032 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, thatwhat goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we dounto thee.
04:010:033 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
04:010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
04:010:035 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
04:010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
04:011:001 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
04:011:002 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed untothe LORD, the fire was quenched.
04:011:003 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fireof the LORD burnt among them.
04:011:004 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: andthe children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shallgive us flesh to eat?
04:011:005 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; thecucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, andthe garlick:
04:011:006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,beside this manna, before our eyes.
04:011:007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof asthe colour of bdellium.
04:011:008 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
04:011:009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
04:011:010 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORDwas kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
04:011:011 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflictedthy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thysight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
04:011:012 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
04:011:013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? forthey weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
04:011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is tooheavy for me.
04:011:015 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
04:011:016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
04:011:017 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
04:011:018 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
04:011:019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
04:011:020 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
04:011:021 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundredthousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,that they may eat a whole month.
04:011:022 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to sufficethem? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered togetherfor them, to suffice them?
04:011:023 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short?thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass untothee or not.
04:011:024 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD,and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, andset them round about the tabernacle.
04:011:025 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
04:011:026 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
04:011:027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad andMedad do prophesy in the camp.
04:011:028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of hisyoung men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
04:011:029 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
04:011:030 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
04:011:031 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
04:011:032 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
04:011:033 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
04:011:034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: becausethere they buried the people that lusted.
04:011:035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;and abode at Hazeroth.
04:012:001 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of theEthiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married anEthiopian woman.
04:012:002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hathhe not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
04:012:003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which wereupon the face of the earth.)
04:012:004 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, andunto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of thecongregation. And they three came out.
04:012:005 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stoodin the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam:and they both came forth.
04:012:006 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet amongyou, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision,and will speak unto him in a dream.
04:012:007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
04:012:008 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
04:012:009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
04:012:010 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked uponMiriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
04:012:011 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, laynot the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, andwherein we have sinned.
04:012:012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumedwhen he cometh out of his mother's womb.
04:012:013 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, Ibeseech thee.
04:012:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
04:012:015 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and thepeople journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
04:012:016 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched inthe wilderness of Paran.
04:013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:013:002 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, whichI give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of theirfathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
04:013:003 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from thewilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the childrenof Israel.
04:013:004 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
04:013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
04:013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
04:013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
04:013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
04:013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
04:013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
04:013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
04:013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
04:013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
04:013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
04:013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
04:013:016 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
04:013:017 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
04:013:018 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
04:013:019 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
04:013:020 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
04:013:021 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
04:013:022 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
04:013:023 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
04:013:024 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
04:013:025 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
04:013:026 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
04:013:027 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whitherthou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey;and this is the fruit of it.
04:013:028 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, andthe cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw thechildren of Anak there.
04:013:029 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
04:013:030 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
04:013:031 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
04:013:032 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
04:013:033 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
04:014:001 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
04:014:002 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
04:014:003 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
04:014:004 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and letus return into Egypt.
04:014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all theassembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
04:014:006 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
04:014:007 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel,saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is anexceeding good land.
04:014:008 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into thisland, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk andhoney.
04:014:009 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the peopleof the land; for they are bread for us: their defence isdeparted from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
04:014:010 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And theglory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of thecongregation before all the children of Israel.
04:014:011 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this peopleprovoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, forall the signs which I have shewed among them?
04:014:012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
04:014:013 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
04:014:014 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
04:014:015 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
04:014:016 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
04:014:017 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
04:014:018 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
04:014:019 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
04:014:020 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
04:014:021 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
04:014:022 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
04:014:023 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
04:014:024 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him,and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the landwhereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
04:014:025 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the wayof the Red sea.
04:014:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:014:027 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
04:014:028 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
04:014:029 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that werenumbered of you, according to your whole number, from twentyyears old and upward which have murmured against me.
04:014:030 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which Isware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son ofJephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
04:014:031 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, themwill I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye havedespised.
04:014:032 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
04:014:033 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
04:014:034 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
04:014:035 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evilcongregation, that are gathered together against me: in thiswilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
04:014:036 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, whoreturned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him,by bringing up a slander upon the land,
04:014:037 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
04:014:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
04:014:039 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
04:014:040 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
04:014:041 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandmentof the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
04:014:042 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be notsmitten before your enemies.
04:014:043 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you,and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned awayfrom the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
04:014:044 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless theark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not outof the camp.
04:014:045 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dweltin that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even untoHormah.
04:015:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:015:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
04:015:003 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:
04:015:004 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring ameat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourthpart of an hin of oil.
04:015:005 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offeringshalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, forone lamb.
04:015:006 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenthdeals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
04:015:007 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of anhin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
04:015:008 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
04:015:009 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of threetenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
04:015:010 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
04:015:011 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or fora lamb, or a kid.
04:015:012 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye doto every one according to their number.
04:015:013 All that are born of the country shall do these things afterthis manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweetsavour unto the LORD.
04:015:014 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among youin your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire,of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
04:015:015 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
04:015:016 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
04:015:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:015:018 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When yecome into the land whither I bring you,
04:015:019 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land,ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
04:015:020 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
04:015:021 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD anheave offering in your generations.
04:015:022 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
04:015:023 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
04:015:024 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
04:015:025 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
04:015:026 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
04:015:027 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
04:015:028 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
04:015:029 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,both for him that is born among the children of Israel, andfor the stranger that sojourneth among them.
04:015:030 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he beborn in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth theLORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
04:015:031 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath brokenhis commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; hisiniquity shall be upon him.
04:015:032 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, theyfound a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
04:015:033 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him untoMoses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
04:015:034 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared whatshould be done to him.
04:015:035 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put todeath: all the congregation shall stone him with stoneswithout the camp.
04:015:036 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, andstoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commandedMoses.
04:015:037 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:015:038 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they makethem fringes in the borders of their garments throughout theirgenerations, and that they put upon the fringe of the bordersa ribband of blue:
04:015:039 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look uponit, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and dothem; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your owneyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
04:015:040 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holyunto your God.
04:015:041 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land ofEgypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
04:016:001 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son ofLevi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, theson of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
04:016:002 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children ofIsrael, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famousin the congregation, men of renown:
04:016:003 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
04:016:004 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
04:016:005 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
04:016:006 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
04:016:007 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
04:016:008 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
04:016:009 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
04:016:010 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
04:016:011 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
04:016:012 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
04:016:013 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a landthat floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in thewilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince overus?
04:016:014 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that flowethwith milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields andvineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we willnot come up.
04:016:015 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
04:016:016 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
04:016:017 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, andbring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred andfifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
04:016:018 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, andlaid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacleof the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
04:016:019 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto thedoor of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory ofthe LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
04:016:020 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
04:016:022 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
04:016:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:016:024 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about thetabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
04:016:025 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and theelders of Israel followed him.
04:016:026 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
04:016:027 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
04:016:028 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sentme to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine ownmind.
04:016:029 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they bevisited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hathnot sent me.
04:016:030 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
04:016:031 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking allthese words, that the ground clave asunder that was underthem:
04:016:032 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, andtheir houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, andall their goods.
04:016:033 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive intothe pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perishedfrom among the congregation.
04:016:034 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry ofthem: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
