6:21"This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation."
6:22Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,6:23"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
6:27"So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them."
7:1It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them;7:2that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered:7:3and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.7:4Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,7:5"Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service."
7:6Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.7:7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:7:8and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.7:9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
7:10The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings before the altar.

7:89When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him.
8:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,8:2"Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
8:3Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.8:4This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
8:5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,8:6"Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.8:7You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.8:8Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.8:9You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.8:10You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,8:11and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.8:12The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.8:13You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.8:14Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.8:16For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.8:17For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.8:18I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.8:19I 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 Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
8:20Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.8:21The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.8:22After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
8:23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,8:24"This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;8:25and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,8:26but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."
9:1Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,9:2"Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.9:3On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season--according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
9:4Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.9:5They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.9:6There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.9:7Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
9:8Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you."
9:9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,9:10"Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.9:11In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.9:12They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.9:13But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.9:14If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"
9:15On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.9:16So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.9:17Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.9:18At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.9:19When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahweh's command, and didn't travel.9:20Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.9:21Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.9:22Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.9:23At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh's command, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
10:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,10:2Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work: and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.10:3When they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.10:4If they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.10:5When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.10:6When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.10:7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.10:8The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.10:9When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.10:10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yahweh your God.10:11It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tent of the testimony.10:12The children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.10:13They first took their journey according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.10:14In the firstplacethe standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.10:15Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.10:16Over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.10:17The tent was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tent, set forward.10:18The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.10:19Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.10:20Over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.10:21The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: andthe othersdid set up the tent against their coming.10:22The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.10:23Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.10:24Over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.10:25The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies: and over his army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.10:26Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.10:27Over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.10:28Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they set forward.10:29Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, I will give it to you: come you with us, and we will do you good; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel.10:30He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.10:31He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes.10:32It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you.10:33They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.10:34The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.10:35It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate you flee before you.10:36When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
11:1The people were as murmurers,speakingevil in the ears of Yahweh: and when Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahweh burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.11:2The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated.11:3The name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Yahweh burnt among them.11:4The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?11:5We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:11:6but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look on.11:7The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.11:8The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and its taste was as the taste of fresh oil.11:9When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.11:10Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.11:11Moses said to Yahweh, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?11:12Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?11:13Where should I get meat to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us meat, that we may eat.11:14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.11:15If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.11:16Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.11:17I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.11:18Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you shall eat.11:19You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,11:20but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?11:21Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.11:22Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?11:23Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now you will see whether my word shall happen to you or not.11:24Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.11:25Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.11:26But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.11:27There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.11:28Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them.11:29Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!11:30Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.11:31There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.11:32The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.11:33While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.11:34The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.11:35From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
12:1Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.12:2They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it.12:3Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.12:4Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the Tent of Meeting. They three came out.12:5Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.12:6He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.12:7My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:12:8with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?12:9The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed.12:10The cloud removed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, aswhite assnow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.12:11Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.12:12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.12:13Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you.12:14Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.12:15Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again.12:16Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,13:2Send you men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, everyone a prince among them.13:3Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.13:4These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.13:5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.13:6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.13:7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.13:8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.13:9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.13:10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.13:11Of the tribe of Joseph,namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.13:12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.13:13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.13:14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.13:15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.13:16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.13:17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country:13:18and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;13:19and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;13:20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.13:21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.13:22They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)13:23They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two;they broughtalso of the pomegranates, and of the figs.13:24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.13:25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.13:26They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.13:27They told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.13:28However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified,andvery great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.13:29Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.13:30Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.13:31But the men who went up with him said, We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.13:32They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.13:33There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
14:1All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.14:2All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!14:3Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?14:4They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.14:5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.14:6Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:14:7and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.14:8If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.14:9Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don't fear them.14:10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.14:11Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?14:12I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.14:13Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;14:14and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.14:15Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,14:16Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.14:17Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,14:18Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clearthe guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.14:19Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.14:20Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word:14:21but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;14:22because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;14:23surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:14:24but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.14:25Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to theRed Sea.14:26Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,14:27How longshall I bearwith this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.14:28Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:14:29your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,14:30surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.14:31But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.14:32But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.14:33Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.14:34After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.14:35I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.14:36The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,14:37even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.14:38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.14:39Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.14:40They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.14:41Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper?14:42Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.14:43For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.14:44But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp.14:45Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
15:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,15:2Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,15:3and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;15:4then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth partof an ephahof fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:15:5and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.15:6Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth partsof an ephahof fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:15:7and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.15:8When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh;15:9then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth partsof an ephahof fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:15:10and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.15:11Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.15:12According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.15:13All who are native-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.15:14If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.15:15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreignerwith you, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh.15:16One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.15:17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,15:18Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you,15:19then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.15:20Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.15:21Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.15:22When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,15:23even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;15:24then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.15:25The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error:15:26and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.15:27If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.15:28The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.15:29You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.15:30But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.15:31Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.15:32While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.15:33Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.15:34They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.15:35Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.15:36All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.15:37Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,15:38Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themfringesin the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on thefringeof each border a cord of blue:15:39and it shall be to you for afringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;15:40that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.15:41I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.
16:1Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, tookmen:16:2and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;16:3and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yahweh?16:4When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:16:5and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall choose he will cause to come near to him.16:6This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company;16:7and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh does choose, heshall beholy: you take too much on you, you sons of Levi.16:8Moses said to Korah, Hear now, you sons of Levi:16:9seems it buta small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tent of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;16:10and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and seek you the priesthood also?16:11Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Yahweh: and Aaron, what is he who you murmur against him?16:12Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We won't come up:16:13is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must needs make yourself also a prince over us?16:14Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? we won't come up.16:15Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, "Don't respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."16:16Moses said to Korah, You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:16:17and take every man his censer, and put incense on them, and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.16:18They took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.16:19Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation.16:20Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,16:21Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.16:22They fell on their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?16:23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,16:24Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.16:25Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.16:26He spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.16:27So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.16:28Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; forI havenotdone themof my own mind.16:29If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn't sent me.16:30But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.16:31It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;16:32and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.16:33So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.16:34All Israel that were around them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.16:35Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.16:36Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,16:37Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are holy,16:38even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.16:39Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,16:40to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.16:41But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Yahweh.16:42It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tent of Meeting: and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.16:43Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.16:44Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,16:45Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. They fell on their faces.16:46Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun.16:47Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.16:48He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.16:49Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.16:50Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
17:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,17:2Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write you every man's name on his rod.17:3You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.17:4You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.17:5It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.17:6Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.17:7Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony.17:8It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.17:9Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.17:10Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.17:11Moses did so. As Yahweh commanded him, so he did.17:12The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.17:13Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us?
18:1Yahweh said to Aaron, You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.18:2Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.18:3They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.18:4They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.18:5You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel.18:6I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.18:7You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.18:8Yahweh spoke to Aaron, I, behold, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.18:9This shall be your of the most holy things,reservedfrom the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.18:10You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.18:11This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.18:12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh, to you have I given them.18:13The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.18:14Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.18:15Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.18:16You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).18:17But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.18:18Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.18:19All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you.18:20Yahweh said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them: I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.18:21To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.18:22Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.18:23But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.18:24For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.18:25Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,18:26Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.18:27Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.18:28Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh's wave offering to Aaron the priest.18:29Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Yahweh, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.18:30Therefore you shall tell them, When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.18:31You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.18:32You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.
19:1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,19:2This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish,andon which never came yoke.19:3You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face:19:4and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.19:5One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:19:6and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.19:7Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.19:8He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.19:9A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin offering.19:10He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.19:11He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:19:12the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.19:13Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tent of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.19:14This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.19:15Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.19:16Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.19:17For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:19:18and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:19:19and the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.19:20But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh: the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.19:21It shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until even.19:22Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even.
