Chapter 4

04:026:046 And the name of the daughter of Asher was Sarah.

04:026:047 These are the families of the sons of Asher according to those that were numbered of them; who were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

04:026:048 Of the sons of Naphtali after their families: of Jahzeel, thefamily of the Jahzeelites: of Guni, the family of the Gunites:

04:026:049 Of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites: of Shillem, the familyof the Shillemites.

04:026:050 These are the families of Naphtali according to their families: and they that were numbered of them were forty and five thousand and four hundred.

04:026:051 These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

04:026:052 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:026:053 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

04:026:054 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.

04:026:055 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according tothe names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

04:026:056 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be dividedbetween many and few.

04:026:057 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites aftertheir families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: ofKohath, the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family ofthe Merarites.

04:026:058 These are the families of the Levites: the family of theLibnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of theMahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of theKorathites. And Kohath begat Amram.

04:026:059 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter ofLevi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare untoAmram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

04:026:060 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, andIthamar.

04:026:061 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange firebefore the LORD.

04:026:062 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and 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.

04:026:063 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar thepriest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains ofMoab by Jordan near Jericho.

04:026:064 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses andAaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children ofIsrael in the wilderness of Sinai.

04:026:065 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in thewilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Calebthe son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

04:027:001 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

04:027:002 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

04:027:003 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

04:027:004 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

04:027:005 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

04:027:006 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

04:027:008 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

04:027:009 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritanceunto his brethren.

04:027:010 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritanceunto his father's brethren.

04:027:011 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:027:012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

04:027:013 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

04:027:014 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

04:027:015 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

04:027:016 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

04:027:017 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

04:027:018 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun,a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

04:027:019 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all thecongregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

04:027:020 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all thecongregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

04:027:021 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

04:027:022 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

04:027:023 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

04:028:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:028:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, Myoffering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for asweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me intheir due season.

04:028:003 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made byfire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of thefirst year without spot day by day, for a continual burntoffering.

04:028:004 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the otherlamb shalt thou offer at even;

04:028:005 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

04:028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mountSinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto theLORD.

04:028:007 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of anhin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause thestrong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.

04:028:008 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

04:028:009 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

04:028:010 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

04:028:011 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burntoffering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, sevenlambs of the first year without spot;

04:028:012 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingledwith oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for ameat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;

04:028:013 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meatoffering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweetsavour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

04:028:014 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

04:028:015 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

04:028:016 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passoverof the LORD.

04:028:017 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: sevendays shall unleavened bread be eaten.

04:028:018 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do nomanner of servile work therein:

04:028:019 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:

04:028:020 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;

04:028:021 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

04:028:022 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.

04:028:023 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

04:028:024 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

04:028:025 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

04:028:026 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meatoffering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall havean holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

04:029:007 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month anholy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shallnot do any work therein:

04:029:039 These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.

04:029:040 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

04:030:001 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning thechildren of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORDhath commanded.

04:030:002 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind hissoul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall doaccording to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

04:030:003 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;

04:030:004 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hathbound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her;then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith shehath bound her soul shall stand.

04:030:005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; notany of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound hersoul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because herfather disallowed her.

04:030:006 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

04:030:007 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

04:030:008 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

04:030:009 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

04:030:010 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

04:030:011 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

04:030:012 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

04:030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

04:030:014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

04:030:015 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

04:030:016 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.

04:031:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

04:031:003 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

04:031:004 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes ofIsrael, shall ye send to the war.

04:031:005 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, athousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

04:031:006 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

04:031:007 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

04:031:008 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

04:031:009 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.

04:031:010 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and alltheir goodly castles, with fire.

04:031:011 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men andof beasts.

04:031:012 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

04:031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

04:031:014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

04:031:015 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

04:031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

04:031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and killevery woman that hath known man by lying with him.

04:031:018 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lyingwith him, keep alive for yourselves.

04:031:019 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

04:031:020 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

04:031:021 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

04:031:022 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

04:031:023 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

04:031:024 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

04:031:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and ofbeast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers ofthe congregation:

04:031:027 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took thewar upon them, who went out to battle, and between all thecongregation:

04:031:028 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which wentout to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons,and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

04:031:029 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

04:031:030 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

04:031:031 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:032 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

04:031:033 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

04:031:034 And threescore and one thousand asses,

04:031:035 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

04:031:036 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

04:031:037 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred andthreescore and fifteen.

04:031:038 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which theLORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

04:031:039 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of whichthe LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

04:031:040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'stribute was thirty and two persons.

04:031:041 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:042 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

04:031:043 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

04:031:044 And thirty and six thousand beeves,

04:031:045 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

04:031:046 And sixteen thousand persons;)

04:031:047 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:031:048 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, thecaptains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came nearunto Moses:

04:031:049 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum ofthe men of war which are under our charge, and there lackethnot one man of us.

04:031:050 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

04:031:051 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

04:031:052 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

04:031:053 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

04:031:054 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captainsof thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into thetabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for thechildren of Israel before the LORD.

04:032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a verygreat multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land ofJazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was aplace for cattle;

04:032:002 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

04:032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, andElealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

04:032:004 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregationof Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

04:032:005 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

04:032:006 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

04:032:007 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

04:032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

04:032:009 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

04:032:010 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

04:032:011 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

04:032:012 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

04:032:013 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

04:032:014 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

04:032:015 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

04:032:016 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

04:032:017 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

04:032:018 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

04:032:019 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

04:032:020 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye willgo armed before the LORD to war,

04:032:021 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

04:032:022 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

04:032:023 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against theLORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

04:032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for yoursheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

04:032:025 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake untoMoses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

04:032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle,shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

04:032:027 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war,before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

04:032:028 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

04:032:029 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

04:032:030 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

04:032:031 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will wedo.

04:032:032 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land ofCanaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this sideJordan may be our's.

04:032:033 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

04:032:034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

04:032:035 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

04:032:036 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds forsheep.

04:032:037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, andKirjathaim,

04:032:038 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

04:032:039 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead,and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

04:032:040 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and hedwelt therein.

04:032:041 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small townsthereof, and called them Havothjair.

04:032:042 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, andcalled it Nobah, after his own name.

04:033:001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which wentforth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under thehand of Moses and Aaron.

04:033:002 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeysby the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeysaccording to their goings out.

04:033:003 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

04:033:004 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

04:033:005 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitchedin Succoth.

04:033:006 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which isin the edge of the wilderness.

04:033:007 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth,which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

04:033:008 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed throughthe midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

04:033:009 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elimwere twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palmtrees; and they pitched there.

04:033:010 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

04:033:011 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in thewilderness of Sin.

04:033:012 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, andencamped in Dophkah.

04:033:013 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

04:033:014 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, wherewas no water for the people to drink.

04:033:015 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wildernessof Sinai.

04:033:021 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

04:033:022 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

04:033:023 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.

04:033:024 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.

04:033:025 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

04:033:026 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

04:033:027 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

04:033:028 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

04:033:029 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

04:033:030 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

04:033:031 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.

04:033:032 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.

04:033:033 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

04:033:034 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

04:033:035 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.

04:033:036 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in thewilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

04:033:037 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in theedge of the land of Edom.

04:033:038 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

04:033:039 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old whenhe died in mount Hor.

04:033:040 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in theland of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

04:033:041 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

04:033:042 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

04:033:043 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

04:033:044 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

04:033:045 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

04:033:046 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped inAlmondiblathaim.

04:033:047 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in themountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

04:033:048 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched inthe plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

04:033:049 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even untoAbelshittim in the plains of Moab.

04:033:050 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordannear Jericho, saying,

04:033:051 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When yeare passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:033:052 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

04:033:053 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

04:033:054 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

04:033:055 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

04:033:056 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

04:034:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

04:034:003 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

04:034:004 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:

04:034:005 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the riverof Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

04:034:006 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the greatsea for a border: this shall be your west border.

04:034:007 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea yeshall point out for you mount Hor:

04:034:008 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

04:034:009 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out ofit shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

04:034:010 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan toShepham:

04:034:011 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on theeast side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shallreach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

04:034:012 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out ofit shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with thecoasts thereof round about.

04:034:013 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This isthe land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORDcommanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

04:034:014 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:

04:034:015 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

04:034:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:017 These are the names of the men which shall divide the landunto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

04:034:018 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide theland by inheritance.

04:034:019 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah,Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

04:034:020 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son ofAmmihud.

04:034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

04:034:022 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki theson of Jogli.

04:034:023 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of thechildren of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

04:034:024 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuelthe son of Shiphtan.

04:034:025 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

04:034:026 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar,Paltiel the son of Azzan.

04:034:027 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihudthe son of Shelomi.

04:034:028 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali,Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

04:034:029 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide theinheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

04:035:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordannear Jericho, saying,

04:035:002 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

04:035:003 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs ofthem shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and forall their beasts.

04:035:004 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto theLevites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward athousand cubits round about.

04:035:005 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

04:035:006 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

04:035:007 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

04:035:008 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

04:035:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:035:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:035:011 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge foryou; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth anyperson at unawares.

04:035:012 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger;that the manslayer die not, until he stand before thecongregation in judgment.

04:035:013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

04:035:014 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

04:035:015 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

04:035:016 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that hedie, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put todeath.

04:035:017 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he maydie, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surelybe put to death.

04:035:018 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith hemay die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shallsurely be put to death.

04:035:019 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when hemeeteth him, he shall slay him.

04:035:020 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying ofwait, that he die;

04:035:021 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

04:035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

04:035:023 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

04:035:024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

04:035:025 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

04:035:026 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

04:035:027 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

04:035:028 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
