Num 1:47 ¶ But, the Levites, by the tribe of their fathers, were not numbered in their midst.
Num 1:48 For Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 1:49 Only, the tribe of Levi, shalt thou not number, nor, the sum of them, shalt thou reckon up,––in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Num 1:50 But do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.
Num 1:51 And, when the habitation is to set forward, the Levites, shall take it down, and, when the habitation is to be pitched, the Levites, shall set it up,––but, the stranger that draweth near, shall be put to death.
Num 1:52 So then the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents,––every man, near his own camp, and, every man, near his own standard, by their hosts;
Num 1:53 but, the Levites, shall pitch their tents round about the habitation of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the assembly of the sons of Israel,––so shall the Levites keep the watch of the habitation of the testimony.
Num 1:54 Thus did the sons of Israel,––according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.
Num 2:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh onto Moses and onto Aaron, saying:
Num 2:2 Every man––near his standard, with the ensigns belonging to their ancestral houses, shall the sons of Israel encamp,––at a distance round about the tent of meeting, shall they encamp.

Num 2:16 All they who are numbered to the camp of Reuben,––a hundred and fifty–one thousand, and four hundred and fifty, by their hosts, and they, in the second rank, shall set forward.
Num 2:17 Then shall set forward the tent of meeting––the camp of the Levites, in the midst of the camps,––as they encamp, so, shall they set forward, every man at the side thereof, by their standards.
Num 2:18 The standard of the camp of Ephraim, by their hosts, westwards,––even the prince of the sons of Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud;

Num 2:31 All they who are numbered to the camp of Dan, a hundred and fifty–seven thousand, and six hundred, in the hindmost rank, shall they set forward, by their standards.
Num 2:32 These, are they who were numbered of the sons of Israel, by their ancestral houses,––all they who were numbered of the camps, by their hosts, were six hundred and three thousand, and five hundred, and fifty.
Num 2:33 But, the Levites, were not numbered in the midst of the sons of Israel,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num 2:34 Thus did the sons of Israel,––according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they encamp by their standards, and, so, did they set forward, every one by his families, near his ancestral house.
Num 3:1 ¶ Now, these, were the pedigrees of Aaron, and Moses,––in the day when Yahweh spake with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Num 3:2 And, these, are the names of the sons of Aaron––the firstborn, Nadab,––and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Num 3:3 These, are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed,––who were installed to minister as priests.
Num 3:4 But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh, in the desert of Sinai, and, sons, had they none,––so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father.
Num 3:5 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying––
Num 3:6 Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest,––so shall they wait upon him;
Num 3:7 so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting,––to do the laborious work of the habitation;
Num 3:8 so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel,––to do the laborious work of the habitation.
Num 3:9 Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron, and unto his sons,––given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel;
Num 3:10 but, unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood,––and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.
Num 3:11 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying––
Num 3:12 I, therefore, lo! I have taken the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth, from among the sons of Israel,––so shall the Levites be mine;
Num 3:13 for, mine, is every firstborn, in the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto myself, every firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast,––mine, did they become, [and belong] unto me, Yahweh.
Num 3:14 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, in the desert of Sinai, saying:––
Num 3:15 Number thou the sons of Levi, by their ancestral houses, by their families,––every male, from one month old and upwards, shalt thou number them.
Num 3:16 So then Moses numbered them, according to the bidding of Yahweh,––as he was commanded.
Num 3:17 And these were the sons of Levi, by their names,––Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Num 3:18 And, these, the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families,––Libni and Shimei.
Num 3:19 And, the sons of Kohath, by their families, Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Num 3:20 And, the sons of Merari, by their families, Mahli and Mushi. These, are they––the families of the Levites, by their ancestral houses.
Num 3:21 To, Gershon, belonged the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites,––these, are they––the families of the Gershonites.
Num 3:22 They who were numbered of them, in the counting of every male, from one month old, and upwards,––they who were numbered of them, were seven thousand, and five hundred.
Num 3:23 the families of the Gershonites, to the rear of the habitation, were to encamp, westward.
Num 3:24 And, the prince of the ancestral house of the Gershonites, was Eliasaph, son of Lael.
Num 3:25 And, the charge of the sons of Gershon, was over the tent of meeting, the habitation, and the tent,––the covering thereof, and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting;
Num 3:26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the court which was near the habitation, and near the altar, round about,––and the cords thereof, as to all the laborious work thereof.
Num 3:27 And, to Kohath, belonged the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites,––these, are they––the families of the Kohathites.
Num 3:28 In, the counting of every male, from one month old and upwards, there were eight thousand, and six hundred, to keep the charge of the sanctuary.
Num 3:29 The, families of the sons of Kohath, were to encamp,––on the side of the habitation, southward.
Num 3:30 And, the prince of the ancestral house of the families of the Kohathites, was Elizaphan, son of Uzziel.
Num 3:31 And, their charge, was––the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary wherewith they were to minister,––and the screen, as to all the laborious work thereof.
Num 3:32 And, the prince of the princes of the Levites, was Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest,––to have the oversight of them that were to keep the charge of the sanctuary.
Num 3:33 To Merari, belonged the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites,––these, are they––the families of Merari.
Num 3:34 And, they who were numbered of them in the counting of every male, from one month old and upwards, were six thousand, and two hundred.
Num 3:35 And, the prince of the ancestral house of the families of Merari, was Zuriel, son of Abihail,––on the side of the habitation, were they to encamp, northward.
Num 3:36 And, the oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari, was––the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and the sockets thereof,––and all the furniture thereof, as to all the laborious work thereof;
Num 3:37 also the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,––and their pins, and their cords.
Num 3:38 But, they who were to encamp before the habitation, eastwards, before the tent of meeting, towards sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons, to keep the charge of the sanctuary, as the charge of the sons of Israel, and, the stranger that came near, was to be put to death.
Num 3:39 All they who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses [and Aaron] numbered at the bidding of Yahweh, by their families,––every male, from one month old and upwards, were two–and–twenty thousand.
Num 3:40 ¶ And Yahweh said unto Moses: Number thou every firstborn male belonging to the sons of Israel, from one month old and upwards,––and reckon up the number of their names;
Num 3:41 then shalt thou take the Levites for me, me Yahweh, instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel,––also the cattle of the Levites, instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.
Num 3:42 So then Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him,––every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
Num 3:43 And it was so––that all the firstborn of the males, in the counting of names from one month old and upwards, of such as were numbered of them,––were two–and–twenty thousand, two hundred and seventy–three.
Num 3:44 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:––
Num 3:45 Take the Levites, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, instead of their cattle,––so shall the Levites, belong unto me, me Yahweh;
Num 3:46 and, as the ransom of the two hundred and seventy–three,––who are more than the Levites, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel,
Num 3:47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece, by the poll,––by the shekel of the sanctuary, shalt thou take it, twenty gerahs to the shekel;
Num 3:48 and shalt give the silver to Aaron, and to his sons,––as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.
Num 3:49 So Moses took the redemption silver from them who were in excess over them who were redeemed by the Levites:
Num 3:50 from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, took he the silver,––a thousand, three hundred, and sixty–five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,
Num 3:51 And Moses gave the redemption silver to Aaron and to his sons, at the bidding of Yahweh,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num 4:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Num 4:2 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi,––by their families, by their ancestral house:
Num 4:3 from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years,––every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
Num 4:4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting,––the most holy things.
Num 4:5 So then Aaron and his sons shall enter, when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil,––and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
Num 4:6 and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue, over above,––and put in the staves thereof.
Num 4:7 And, over the Presence–table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
Num 4:8 and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin,––and shall put in the staves thereof.
Num 4:9 Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light–giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof, and the snuff–trays thereof,––and all the oil–vessels thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
Num 4:10 and shall put the same, and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badger’s skin,––and shall put it upon a frame.
Num 4:11 And, upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin,––and shall put in the staves thereof.
Num 4:12 And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin,––and put them on a frame.
Num 4:13 Then shall they remove the fat–ashes from the altar,––and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
Num 4:14 and put thereupon all the utensils thereof, wherewith they minister thereupon––the fire–pans, the flesh–hooks, and the shovels and the tossing–bowls, all the utensils of the altar,––and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin, and put in the staves thereof.
Num 4:15 So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then, after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which is holy, else should they die,––these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting.
Num 4:16 But, the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be]––the light–giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal–offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
Num 4:17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Num 4:18 Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.
Num 4:19 This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live, and not die, when they approach the most holy place,––Aaron and his sons, shall enter and set them, man by man, over his labour, and unto his burden;
Num 4:20 but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
Num 4:21 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 4:22 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon, even of them also,––by their ancestral house, by their families;
Num 4:23 from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years, shalt thou number them,––all that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
Num 4:24 This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites,––in labouring and in bearing:––
Num 4:25 they shall bear the curtains of the habitation, and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof, and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it,––and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
Num 4:26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation, and near the altar, round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them, when they shall do their labour.
Num 4:27 At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour,––so shall ye appoint unto them in charge, their every burden.
Num 4:28 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites, in the tent of meeting,––and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
Num 4:29 As for the sons of Merari,––by their families, by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
Num 4:30 from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years, shall ye number them,––all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
Num 4:31 And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting,––the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof, and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
Num 4:32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour,––and, by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
Num 4:33 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting,––in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
Num 4:34 ¶ Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites,––by their families, and by their ancestral house;
Num 4:35 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
Num 4:36 and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be––two thousand, seven hundred, and fifty.
Num 4:37 These, were they who were numbered, of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting,––whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
Num 4:38 And, they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon,––by their families, and by their ancestral house;

Num 4:48 yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be––eight thousand, and five hundred, and eighty.
Num 4:49 At the bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge, by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour, and over his burden,––yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num 5:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:––
Num 5:2 Command the sons of Israel, that they send forth out of the camp, every leper, and every one that hath a flux,––and every one that is unclean by the dead:
Num 5:3 whether male or female, ye shall send them forth, unto the outside of the camp, shall ye send them,––that they make not their camps unclean, in the midst whereof, I, have my habitation.
Num 5:4 And the sons of Israel, did so, and sent them forth unto the outside of the camp,––as Yahweh spake unto Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
Num 5:5 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 5:6 Speak unto the sons of Israel: When, any man or woman, shall do aught of a human sin, in acting unfaithfully against Yahweh,––and that person shall become aware of his guilt,
Num 5:7 then shall they confess their sin which they have done, and he shall make good that wherein he is guilty, in the principal thereof, and, the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto,––and give to him against whom he is guilty.
Num 5:8 But, if one have no kinsman unto whom he may make good that wherein he is guilty, then, that wherein he is guilty, which is to be restored to Yahweh, shall be the priest’s,––besides the ram of propitiation, wherewith a propitiatory–covering is to be put over him.
Num 5:9 And, every heave–offering, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, unto him, shall it belong.
Num 5:10 And, every man’s hallowed things, shall be, his own,––what any man giveth to the priest, shall be his.
Num 5:11 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 5:12 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,––When, any man’s wife, shall turn aside, and commit against him an act of unfaithfulness;
Num 5:13 and a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be concealed from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, but, she, hath committed uncleanness,––though, witness, there is none against her, and, she, hath not been caught;
Num 5:14 but there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she having committed uncleanness,––or there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she not, having committed uncleanness,
Num 5:15 then shall the man bring in his wife unto the priest, and shall bring in her offering for her, the tenth of an ephah of the meal of barley,––he shall not pour thereon oil, nor put thereon frankincense, for, a jealousy gift, it is, a reminding gift, bringing to mind iniquity.
Num 5:16 Then shall the priest bring her near,––and cause her to stand before Yahweh;
Num 5:17 and the priest shall take hallowed water in an earthen vessel,––and, of the dust which shall be upon the floor of the habitation, shall the priest take, and put into the water;
Num 5:18 and the priest shall cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and shall bare the head of the woman, and shall place upon her hands the reminding gift, it being, a jealousy gift,––and, in the hand of the priest, shall be the deadly water, that bringeth a curse;
Num 5:19 and the priest shall put her on oath, and shall say unto the woman:––If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside, in uncleanness, [unto another] instead of thy husband, be thou clear from this deadly water that causeth a curse.
Num 5:20 But, if, thou, hast turned aside [to another] instead of thy husband, and if thou hast made thyself unclean,––in that a man hath known thee carnally, other than thy husband,
Num 5:21 then shall the priest put the woman on oath, with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yahweh give thee up for a curse and for an oath, in the midst of thy people,––in that Yahweh shall give up thy thigh to fall away, and thy womb to swell:
Num 5:22 so shall this water that causeth a curse, enter into thy body, causing womb to swell and thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.
Num 5:23 Then shall the priest write these curses in a scroll,––and wipe them out into the deadly water;
Num 5:24 and shall cause the woman to drink the deadly water that causeth a curse,––and the deadly water that causeth a curse shall enter into her.
Num 5:25 Then shall the priest take from the hand of the woman the jealousy meal–offering,––and shall wave the meal–offering before Yahweh, and bring it near unto the altar;
Num 5:26 and the priest shall take a handful from the meal–offering, a remembrancer thereof, and make a perfume at the altar,––and, afterwards, shall cause the woman to drink the water.
Num 5:27 And, as soon as he causeth her to drink the water, then shall it be, that, if she have fallen into uncleanness, and committed unfaithfulness against her husband, as soon as the deadly water that causeth a curse hath entered into her, so soon shall her womb swell and her thigh fall away,––thus shall the woman become a curse, in the midst of her people.
Num 5:28 But, if the woman have not fallen into uncleanness, but is pure, then shall she be clear, and shall bear seed.
Num 5:29 This, is the law of jealousies,––when a wife shall turn aside [to another] instead of her husband, and fall into uncleanness;
Num 5:30 or, when there passeth over, a husband, a spirit of jealousy, and he becometh jealous of his wife, then shall he cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law:
Num 5:31 thus shall the man be clear of iniquity; but, that woman, shall bear her iniquity.
Num 6:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 6:2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,––When, any man or woman, would make the special vow of One Separate, by separating himself unto Yahweh,
Num 6:3 from wine and strong drink, shall he separate himself, neither vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink, shall he drink,––and, no liquor of grapes, shall he drink, no grapes fresh or dried, shall he eat.
Num 6:4 All the days of his separation, of nothing that is made from the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skin, shall he eat.
Num 6:5 All the days of his vow of separation, no razor, shall pass over his head,––until the days are fulfilled for which he shall separate himself to Yahweh, hallowed, shall he be, letting the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
Num 6:6 All the days for which he hath separated himself unto Yahweh, to no dead person, shall he go in.
Num 6:7 Neither for his father nor for his mother, nor for his brother, nor for his sister, shall he make himself unclean––not even for, them, should they die,––because, his separation unto God, is upon his head.
Num 6:8 All his days of separation, hallowed, is he unto Yahweh.
Num 6:9 But, if one that is dying should die by him in a moment, suddenly, then shall he count unclean his head of separation,––and shall shave his head, on the day he cleanseth himself, on the seventh day, shall he shave it.
Num 6:10 And, on the eighth day, shall he bring in, two turtle–doves, or two young pigeons,––unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting;
Num 6:11 and the priest shall make, of one a sin–bearer, and of one an ascending–sacrifice, and so put a propitiatory–covering over him, for that he sinned in respect of the dead person,––thus shall he hallow his head, on that day.
Num 6:12 Then shall he separate unto Yahweh his days of separation, and shall bring in a he–lamb a year old, as a guilt–bearer,––and, the first days, shall be lost because his separation, was made unclean.
Num 6:13 And, this, is the law of the Separate One, on the day when he fulfilleth his days of separation, he shall be brought in unto the entrance of the tent of meeting:
Num 6:14 then shall he bring near, as his offering unto Yahweh,––one he–lamb a year old, without defect, for an ascending–sacrifice, and one ewe–lamb a year old, without defect, for a sin–bearer,––and one ram, without defect, for a peace–offering;
Num 6:15 and a basket of unleavened cakes––fine meal in round cakes overflowed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened bread, anointed with oil,––with their meal–offering and their drink–offerings.
Num 6:16 Then shall the priest bring [them] near before Yahweh,––and offer his sin–bearer, and his ascending–sacrifice;
Num 6:17 and, the ram, shall he offer as a peace–offering unto Yahweh, besides the basket of unleavened cakes,––and the priest shall offer the meal–offering thereof, and the drink–offering thereof.
Num 6:18 Then shall the Separate One shave, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, his head of separation,––and take the hair of his head of separation, and put upon the fire, which is under the peace–offering.
Num 6:19 Then shall the priest take the shoulder for boiling from the ram, and one unleavened round cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake,––and place them on the hands of the Separate One after he hath shaven off his [hair of] separation;
Num 6:20 and the priest shall wave them as a wave–offering before Yahweh, hallowed, it is, for the priest, besides the wave breast, and besides the heave leg,––and, afterwards, may the Separate One drink wine.
Num 6:21 This, is the law of One Separate, what he shall vow, his offering unto Yahweh with respect to his separation, besides what his hand may obtain: as required by the vow that he shall vow, so, must he do, with respect to the law of his separation.
Num 6:22 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 6:23 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus, shall ye bless the sons of Israel,––saying unto them:
Num 6:24 Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee:
Num 6:25 Yahweh cause his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
Num 6:26 Yahweh lift up his face unto thee, and appoint unto thee, peace.
Num 6:27 Thus shall they put my name upon the sons of Israel,––and, I myself, will bless them.
Num 7:1 ¶ And it came to pass, on the day when Moses made an end of rearing up the habitation, and anointing it, and hallowing it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar, and all the utensils thereof,––both of anointing them, and hallowing them,
Num 7:2 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their ancestral houses, made an offering,––they being princes of the tribes, they being the men who stood over them who were numbered:
Num 7:3 yea, then brought they in, as their offering, before Yahweh––six covered waggons, and twelve oxen, a waggon for every two of the princes, and an ox for each one,––yea they brought them near before the habitation.
Num 7:4 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 7:5 Take [them] of them, so shall they be for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting,––and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to the need of his laborious work.
Num 7:6 So Moses took the waggons, and the oxen,––and gave them unto the Levites:
Num 7:7 two of the waggons and four of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Gershon,––according to the need of their laborious work;
Num 7:8 and, four of the waggons, and eight of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Merari,––according to the need of their laborious work, in the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest;
Num 7:9 but, unto the sons of Kohath, gave he none,––because, as to the laborious work of the sanctuary [which] pertained unto them, upon their shoulders, were they to carry it.
Num 7:10 ¶ So then the princes offered for the dedication of the altar, on the day it was anointed,––yea the princes offered their oblation before the altar.
Num 7:11 And Yahweh said unto Moses: Each prince on his appointed day, thus shall they offer their oblation, for the dedication of the altar.
Num 7:12 And so it was, that, he who on, the first day, offered his oblation,––was Nahshon son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah;
Num 7:13 and, his offering, was––one charger of silver, a hundred and thirty shekels, the weight thereof, one tossing bowl, of silver, seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––both of them, full of fine meal overflowed with oil, for a meal–offering;

Num 8:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 8:2 Speak unto Aaron, and thou shalt say unto him,––When thou lightest up the lamps, over against the front of the lampstand, shall the seven lamps give light.
Num 8:3 And Aaron did so, over against the front of the lampstand, lighted he up the lamps thereof,––As Yahweh commanded Moses,
Num 8:4 Now, this, was the work of the lampstand––beaten work of gold, both in the shaft thereof and in the flowers thereof, was it, beaten work, according to the appearance which Yahweh caused to appear unto Moses, so, made he the lampstand.
Num 8:5 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 8:6 Take the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel,––and thou shalt purify them.
Num 8:7 And, thus, shalt thou do unto them, to purify them, sprinkle upon them sin–cleansing water,––then shall they cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and shall wash their clothes, and so make themselves pure.
Num 8:8 Then shall they take a choice young bullock, with the meal–offering thereof, even fine meal overflowed with oil,––and, a second choice young bullock, shalt thou take, as a sin–bearer.
Num 8:9 Then shalt thou bring the Levites near, before the tent of meeting,––and shalt call together all the assembly of the sons of Israel;
Num 8:10 and shalt bring the Levites near before Yahweh,––and the sons of Israel shall lean their hands upon the Levites;
Num 8:11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a wave–offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel,––so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh.
Num 8:12 And, the Levites, shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullocks; then make thou of the one a sin–bearer, and of the other an ascending–sacrifice unto Yahweh, to put a propitiatory–covering over the Levites.
Num 8:13 Thus shalt thou cause the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons,––thus shalt thou offer them as a wave–offering unto Yahweh;
Num 8:14 thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel,––thus shall the Levites become mine.
Num 8:15 And, after that, shall the Levites enter to do the labour of the tent of meeting,––so shalt thou purify them, and offer them as a wave–offering.
Num 8:16 For, given, given, they are, unto me, out of the midst of the sons of Israel,––instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth from among the sons of Israel, have I taken them, unto me.
Num 8:17 For, mine, is every firstborn, among the sons of Israel, among men, and among beasts,––on the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, did I hallow them, unto me.
Num 8:18 Therefore have I taken the Levites,––instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel;
Num 8:19 therefore have I given the Levites, as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel, in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory–covering over the sons of Israel,––so shall there be, among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.
Num 8:20 And Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the sons of Israel did thus unto the Levites,––according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses as touching the Levites, so, did the sons of Israel unto them.
Num 8:21 And the Levites accepted the cleansing from sin, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave–offering before Yahweh,––and Aaron put a propitiatory–covering over them, to make them pure.
Num 8:22 And, after that, went the Levites in, to do their laborious work in the tent of meeting, before Aaron, and before his sons,––as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so, did they unto them.
Num 8:23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying;
Num 8:24 This, is what concerneth the Levites,––from twenty–five years old and upwards, shall they enter to take rank in the host, for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting;
Num 8:25 but, from the age of fifty years, shall they retire from taking rank in the labour, and shall do laborious work no more;
Num 8:26 yet shall they wait upon their brethren in the tent of meeting, by keeping charge, but, laborious work, shall they not perform,––thus, shalt thou do unto the Levites, as touching their charges.
Num 9:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:
Num 9:2 Let the sons of Israel, therefore, keep the passover, in its appointed season:
Num 9:3 on the fourteenth day of this month, between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season,––according to all the statutes thereof, and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it.
Num 9:4 Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Num 9:5 So they kept the passover, in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai,––according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
Num 9:6 But so it was, that there were certain men who had become unclean, by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day,––therefore came they near, before Moses and before Aaron, on that day.
Num 9:7 Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person,––wherefore should we become of less esteem, for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?
Num 9:8 And Moses said unto them,––Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you!
Num 9:9 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 9:10 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying,––Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person, or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves, or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.
Num 9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it,––with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
Num 9:12 They shall not leave thereof until morning, and, no bone, shall they break therein––according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.
Num 9:13 But, as for the man who, is, clean, and, no a journey, doth not chance to be, and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk,––for, the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.
Num 9:14 When, moreover, there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep [it], ––one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner, and for the native of the land.
Num 9:15 ¶ Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony,––and, in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning.
Num 9:16 Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it,––and an appearance of fire, by night;
Num 9:17 but, at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward,––and, in the place where the cloud abode, there, the sons of Israel encamped:
Num 9:18 at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and, at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped,––all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.
Num 9:19 And, when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.
Num 9:20 And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and, at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward.
Num 9:21 And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward.
Num 9:22 Whether for two days, or a month, or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped, and set not forward,––but, at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.
Num 9:23 At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and, at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward,––the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
Num 10:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them,––and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.
Num 10:3 As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Num 10:4 And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.
Num 10:5 But, when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;
Num 10:6 and, when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards,––an alarm, shall they blow, for setting them forward.
Num 10:7 But, in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow, but shall not sound an alarm.
Num 10:8 And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets,––and it shall be unto you for a statute age–abiding, unto your generations.
Num 10:9 And, when ye go into war in your land, against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets,––and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies.
Num 10:10 And, in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending–sacrifices, and over your peace–offerings,––so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I––Yahweh, am your God.
Num 10:11 ¶ And so it came to pass, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;
Num 10:12 and the sons of Israel set forward, by their removals, from the desert of Sinai,––and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.
Num 10:13 Thus then did they set forward, for the first time,––at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
Num 10:14 So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and, over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;
Num 10:15 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;
Num 10:16 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.
Num 10:17 Then was taken down the habitation,––and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the habitation.
Num 10:18 Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts,––and, over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;
Num 10:19 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;
Num 10:20 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.
Num 10:21 Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary,––and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.
Num 10:22 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, by their hosts,––and, over his own host, was Elishama, son of Ammihud;
Num 10:23 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;
Num 10:24 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.
Num 10:25 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts,––and, over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;
Num 10:26 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;
Num 10:27 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.
Num 10:28 These, were the settings–forward of the sons of Israel, by their hosts,––thus did they set forward.
Num 10:29 ¶ Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father–in–law of Moses: Setting forward, are we, unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you,––Oh come with us, and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.
Num 10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go,––but, unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.
Num 10:31 Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us,––for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us, as eyes;
Num 10:32 and it shall be, if thou wilt go with us,––yea it shall be that, with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.
Num 10:33 So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days,––and, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them, a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting–place.
Num 10:34 And, the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day,––when they set forward out of the camp.
Num 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;
Num 10:36 But, when it rested, he said,––Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
Num 11:1 ¶ And it came to pass, that, when the people were giving themselves up to murmuring, it was grievous in the ears of Yahweh,––so Yahweh hearkened, and kindled was his anger, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and consumed the uttermost part of the camp.
Num 11:2 Then did the people make outcry unto Moses,––and Moses prayed unto Yahweh, and the fire sank down.
Num 11:3 So he called the name of that place, Taberah [i. e. "A Burning"], ––because there burned among them the fire of Yahweh.
Num 11:4 ¶ Moreover, the mixed multitude that was in their midst, concealed not their lusting,––and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat, flesh?
Num 11:5 We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt, without money,––the cucumbers, and the water–melons, and the leeks and the onions, and the garlick.
Num 11:6 But, now, our soul is dried up, there is nothing at all,––unless, unto the manna, [we turn] our eyes.
Num 11:7 Now, the manna, was, like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof like the appearance of bdellium.
Num 11:8 The people used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of millstones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes,––then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.
Num 11:9 When the dew came down upon the camp by night, the manna came down thereupon.
Num 11:10 So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent,––then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and, in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.
Num 11:11 And Moses said unto Yahweh––Wherefore hast thou let thy servant come to grief, and wherefore have I not found favour in thine eyes,––that thou shouldest lay the burden of all this people, upon me?
Num 11:12 Did, I, conceive all this people, or, I, beget them,––that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father carrieth a suckling, unto the soil which thou didst swear unto their fathers?
Num 11:13 Whence should, I, have flesh to give to all this people,––for they keep weeping by me, saying, Oh give us flesh, that we may eat!
Num 11:14 Unable, am, I, by myself, to carry all this people,––for they are too heavy for me.
Num 11:15 But, if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes,––and let me not see my grief.
Num 11:16 ¶ Then said Yahweh unto Moses––Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people, and their overseers,––then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves there, with thee.
Num 11:17 Then will I come down, and speak with thee there, and will take of the spirit that is upon thee, and put upon them,––and they shall carry, with thee, the burden of the people, and, thou, shalt not carry it, by thyself.
Num 11:18 And, unto the people, shalt thou say: Hallow yourselves by tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying––Who will grant us to eat flesh? for it was well with us in Egypt,––so then Yahweh will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Num 11:19 Not one day, shall ye eat, nor two days,––nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days:
Num 11:20 for a month of days, until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing,––because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore, now, came we forth out of Egypt?
Num 11:21 And Moses said, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I: yet, thou, hast said––Flesh, will I give unto them, and they shall eat for a month of days.
Num 11:22 Shall, the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall, all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them, that it may suffice for them?
Num 11:23 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall, the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word come to pass unto thee, or not.
Num 11:24 ¶ And Moses went forth, and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh,––and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand, round about the tent.
Num 11:25 Then Yahweh, came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men––the elders. And it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more.
Num 11:26 Now there were two men left behind in the camp––the name of the one, was Eldad, and, the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them––they, being among them who were written, though they had not gone forth unto the tent,––but they prophesied in the camp.
Num 11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said,––Eldad and Medad, are prophesying in the camp!
Num 11:28 Then responded Joshua, son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, and said,––My lord Moses, forbid them!
Num 11:29 But Moses said unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea, let Yahweh put his spirit upon them!
Num 11:30 Then was Moses received back into the camp,––he, and the elders of Israel.
Num 11:31 ¶ Now, a wind, had sprung up, from Yahweh, and cut off quails from the sea, and let them lie over the camp––as it were a days journey here, and a days journey there, round about the camp,––and as it were two cubits, on the face of the land.
Num 11:32 And the people rose up all that day and all the night and all the next day, and gathered the quails, he that did least, gathered ten homers,––and they spread them out for themselves, spreading away, round about the camp.
Num 11:33 The flesh, was yet between their teeth, not yet chewed,––when, the anger of Yahweh, had kindled upon the people, and Yahweh smote the people, with an exceeding great plague.
Num 11:34 And the name of that place was called, Kibroth–hattaavah,––because, there, they buried the people who had lusted.
Num 11:35 From Kibroth–hattaavah, the people set forward to Hazeroth,––and they remained in Hazeroth.
Num 12:1 ¶ And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken,––for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
Num 12:2 And they said: Is it, only, and solely, with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.
Num 12:3 Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly,––above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
Num 12:4 ¶ Then said Yahweh, suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out, ye three, unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.
Num 12:5 Then Yahweh came down, in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent,––and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
Num 12:6 Then said he, Hear, I beseech you, my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh, in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.
Num 12:7 Not so, my servant Moses,––In all my house, trusty, is he:
Num 12:8 Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him, And plainly––not in dark sayings, And, the form of Yahweh, doth he discern,––Wherefore, then, were ye not afraid to speak against my servant––against Moses?
Num 12:9 And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them, and he departed.
Num 12:10 ¶ And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent,––lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam, and lo! . . . leprous!
Num 12:11 Then said Aaron unto Moses,––Oh my lord, do not, I beseech thee, lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned.
Num 12:12 Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still–born,––which, when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
Num 12:13 Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying,––O GOD, I beseech thee, grant healing, I beseech thee, unto her.
Num 12:14 And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and, afterwards, let her be received back.
Num 12:15 So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days,––and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
Num 12:16 Then, afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
Num 13:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 13:2 Send for thee men, and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I, am giving unto the sons of Israel,––one man each, for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one a prince among them.
Num 13:3 So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh,––all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.
Num 13:4 And, these, are their names,––Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
Num 13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
Num 13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;
Num 13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
Num 13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;
Num 13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, son of Raphu;
Num 13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, son of Sodi;
Num 13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph––of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi, son of Susi;
Num 13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, son of Gemalli;
Num 13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, son of Michael;
Num 13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, son of Vophsi;
Num 13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, son of Machi.
Num 13:16 These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent, to spy out the land,––but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
Num 13:17 So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan,––and said unto them––Go up, here, in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
Num 13:18 And shall see the land, what it is,––And the people that dwell thereupon. Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few, or, many;
Num 13:19 And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad,––And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps, or in strongholds;
Num 13:20 And what the land is, Whether, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein, or is not. Then shall ye pluck up courage, and take of the fruit of the land. Now, the days, were the days of the firstfruits of grapes.
Num 13:21 ¶ So they went up, and spied out the land,––from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entering in of Hamath.
Num 13:22 Yea they went up in the South, and entered as far as Hebron, and, there, were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built, seven years, before Zoan of Egypt.
Num 13:23 And they entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence, a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole, between two,––also of the pomegranates and of the figs.
Num 13:24 That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol[=" Cluster–ravine"]––on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
Num 13:25 And they returned from spying out the land,––at the end of forty days.
Num 13:26 ¶ So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron, and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh,––and brought back word––unto them, and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Num 13:27 And they recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us,––and surely it doth, flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
Num 13:28 Nevertheless surely, mighty, are the people that dwell in the land,––and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we there.
Num 13:29 Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain, And, the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
Num 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people unto Moses,––and said unto them––Let us go, straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
Num 13:31 But, the men who went up with him, said, We cannot go up against the people,––for, stronger, are they than we.
Num 13:32 So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying,––As touching the land through which we passed, to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And, all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.
Num 13:33 And, there, saw we the giants, sons of Anak, [descended] of the giants,––And we were, in our own eyes, as grasshoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
Num 14:1 ¶ Then did all the assembly lift up, and give forth their voice,––and the people wept throughout that night.
Num 14:2 And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron,––and all the assembly said unto them––Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or, in this wilderness, oh that we had died!
Num 14:3 Wherefore, then, is Yahweh bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones, will become a prey! Would it not be well for us to go back towards Egypt?
Num 14:4 And they said, one to another,––Let us appoint a head, and let us go back towards Egypt.
Num 14:5 ¶ Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces,––before all the convocation of the assembly of the sons of Israel.
Num 14:6 But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of them who spied out the land, rent their clothes;
Num 14:7 and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying,––As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly.
Num 14:8 If Yahweh delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it unto us,––A land which doth flow with milk and honey.
Num 14:9 Only, against Yahweh, do not rebel. Do not, ye, fear the people of the land, For, our food, they are,––Their shade hath departed from over them, And Yahweh is with us, Do not fear them!
Num 14:10 But, when all the assembly bade stone them, with stones, the glory of Yahweh, appeared, in the tent of meeting, unto all the sons of Israel.
Num 14:11 ¶ Then said Yahweh unto Moses, How long must this people, despise me? And, how long can they not believe in me, in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst?
Num 14:12 Let me smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them,––And make thee, into a nation greater and more mighty than they!
Num 14:13 Then said Moses unto Yahweh,––So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up, in thy might, this people, out of their midst;
Num 14:14 And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people,––That, eye to eye, is he seen––thou, Yahweh. And, thy cloud, is standing over them, And, in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And, in a pillar of fire, by night.
Num 14:15 As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people, as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak, saying:
Num 14:16 Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert.
Num 14:17 Now, therefore, I beseech thee, let the might of My Lord, be magnified,––according as thou didst speak, saying:
Num 14:18 Yahweh––slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth.
Num 14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness,––And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt, even thus far.
Num 14:20 ¶ And Yahweh said, I have pardoned, according to thy word;
Num 14:21 Nevertheless, as I, live,––and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,
Num 14:22 Verily, none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the desert,––and have put me to the proof these ten times, and have not hearkened unto my voice,
Num 14:23 shall see the land, which I sware to their fathers,––yea, none of my despisers, shall see it.
Num 14:24 But, my servant Caleb––because there was another spirit with him, and he followed me fully, therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered, and, his seed, shall possess it.
Num 14:25 Now, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are dwelling in the valley,––tomorrow, turn ye away; and set yourselves forward towards the desert, by the way of the Red Sea.
Num 14:26 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Num 14:27 How long, as regardeth this evil assembly, are, they, to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel, which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard.
Num 14:28 Say unto them: As I live, is the oracle of Yahweh: Surely, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so, will I do unto you:––
Num 14:29 In this desert, shall your dead bodies fall, And, none of you who were numbered, in all your counting, from twenty years old and upwards,––who have murmured against me,
Num 14:30 none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand, to give you an abode therein,––save Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun:
Num 14:31 whereas, your little ones, of whom ye said, they should become, a prey, I will bring them in, and they shall acknowledge the land which ye refused.
Num 14:32 But, your own dead bodies, shall fall in this desert;
Num 14:33 and, your sons, shall be shepherds in the desert forty years, and shall bear your unchastities,––until your dead bodies are consumed in the desert.
Num 14:34 By the number of the days, wherein ye spied out the land––forty days, each day for a year, shall they bear your iniquities––forty years,––so shall ye know my opposition.
Num 14:35 I––Yahweh, have spoken, Verily, this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me,––In this desert, shall they be consumed, And, there, shall they die.
Num 14:36 ¶ Now, as for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land,––who returned and caused all the assembly to murmur against him, by giving out a rumour against the land,
Num 14:37 they died––the men who gave out an evil rumor of the land,––by the plague, before Yahweh.
Num 14:38 But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, remained alive––of those men who went to spy out the land.
Num 14:39 And Moses spake these words unto all the sons of Israel,––and the people were greatly depressed.
Num 14:40 So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying,––We are here––therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said, that we have sinned.
Num 14:41 But Moses said, Wherefore is it that, ye, are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh,––since, that, cannot prosper?
Num 14:42 Do not go up, For Yahweh is not in your midst,––Lest ye be smitten down before your enemies.
Num 14:43 For, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are there before you, So shall ye fall by the sword,––For, inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh, Therefore will Yahweh not be with you.
Num 14:44 But they presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain,––though, neither the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, nor Moses, moved out of the midst of the camp.
Num 14:45 So ten the Amalekites and the Canaanites, that dwelt in that mountain, came down,––and smote them and routed them, even unto Hormah.
Num 15:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 15:2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shall say unto them,––When ye shall enter into the land of your dwelling–places, which, I, am giving unto you;
Num 15:3 and ye would offer, as an altar–flame unto Yahweh, an ascending–offering or a sacrifice, for celebrating a vow or as a freewill–offering, or in your appointed seasons,––by way of offering a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, from the herd or from the flock,
Num 15:4 then shall he that bringeth near his oblation bring near unto Yahweh a meal–offering, of fine meal a tenth part [of an ephah] overflowed with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
Num 15:5 wine also for a drink–offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou offer with the ascending–offering or with the sacrifice,––for each, he–lamb.
Num 15:6 Or, with a ram, thou shalt offer a meal–offering, of fine meal, two tenths,––overflowed with oil, the third of a hin;
Num 15:7 wine also, for a drink–offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
Num 15:8 And, when thou wouldest offer a choice young bullock, as an ascending–offering or sacrifice,––for celebrating a vow, or as a peace–offering unto Yahweh,
Num 15:9 then shall he bring near, with his choice young bullock, a meal–offering, of fine meal, three tenths,––overflowed with half a hin of oil;
Num 15:10 wine also, shalt thou bring near for a drink–offering, half a hin,––for an altar–flame of satisfying odour, unto Yahweh.
Num 15:11 Thus and thus, shall it be done, for each ox, and for each ram,––and for each young one among the sheep, or among the goats:
Num 15:12 according to the number which ye shall offer, thus and thus, shall ye do for each one, according to their number.
Num 15:13 Every one born in the land, thus and thus, shall offer these things,––when bringing near an altar–flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
Num 15:14 And, when there shall sojourn with you a sojourner, or one who is in your midst to your generations, and he would offer an altar–flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh, as ye offer, so, shall he, offer.
Num 15:15 In the convocation, one statute, shall there be, for you, and for the sojourner who sojourneth,––an age–abiding statute, unto your generations, as ye are, so, the sojourner, shall be, before Yahweh:
Num 15:16 one law and one regulation, shall there be, for yourselves, and for the sojourner that sojourneth with you.
Num 15:17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 15:18 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,––When ye enter into the land whereinto, I, am bringing you,
Num 15:19 then shall it be, when ye eat the bread of the land, that ye shall heave up a heave–offering unto Yahweh.
Num 15:20 Of the first of your meal, shall ye heave up, a cake, as a heave–offering,––like the heave–offering of grain, so, shall ye heave it.
Num 15:21 Of the first of your meal, shall ye give unto Yahweh, a heave–offering,––unto your generations.
Num 15:22 ¶ And, when ye shall make a mistake, and not observe all these commandments,––which Yahweh hath spoken unto Moses;
Num 15:23 even all that Yahweh hath given unto you in command, by the hand of Moses,––from the day that Yahweh gave command, and onward, unto your generations,
Num 15:24 then shall it be––if, any from the eyes of the assembly, it hath been done, by mistake, that all the assembly shall offer one choice young bullock for an ascending–sacrifice, as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, with the meal–offering thereof and the drink–offering thereof, according to the regulation,––and one young he–goat, as a sin–bearer.
Num 15:25 So shall the priest put a propitiatory–covering over all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and pardon shall be granted unto them,––because, a mistake, it was, they, therefore have brought in their offering––an altar–flame unto Yahweh, and their sin–bearer before Yahweh, for their mistake:
Num 15:26 and pardon shall be granted unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and unto the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst,––for, in the case of all the people, it was, by mistake.
Num 15:27 And, if, any one, person, shall sin by mistake, then shall he bring near a she–goat of the first year, as a sin–bearer;
Num 15:28 and the priest shall put a propitiatory–covering over the person who hath made the mistake, when he hath sinned by mistake before Yahweh,––even put a propitiatory–covering over him, and pardon shall be granted him.
Num 15:29 For the native born among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, one law, shall there be unto you––for acting by mistake.
Num 15:30 ¶ But, as for the person who acteth with a high hand––of the native born or of the sojourners, Yahweh himself, he, reproacheth,––therefore shall that person be cut off out of the midst of his people.
Num 15:31 Because, the word of Yahweh, hath he despised, and, his commandment, hath he broken, that person shall be, surely cut off, his iniquity, is in himself.
Num 15:32 While the sons of Israel were in the desert, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.
Num 15:33 And they who found him gathering sticks, brought him near, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the assembly.
Num 15:34 And they put him in ward,––because it was not clear what they should do unto him.
Num 15:35 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, The man shall be, put to death,––all the assembly, stoning him with stones, outside the camp.
Num 15:36 So then all the assembly, put him forth, outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num 15:37 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Num 15:38 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments, unto their generations––and shall put upon the fringe of the corner, a cord of blue:
Num 15:39 so shall they serve you as fringes, and when ye see then, then shall ye call to mind all the commandments of Yahweh, and shall do them,––and shall not spy out, after your own hearts, and after your own eyes, for things, after which, ye, are ready to go unchastely away:
Num 15:40 to the intent ye may call to mind, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
Num 15:41 I––Yahweh, am your God––who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to become your, God,––I––Yahweh, am your God.
Num 16:1 ¶ Then took Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi,––and Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, sons of Reuben;
Num 16:2 and rose up before Moses, with certain men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty,––princes of assembly, called to the stated meeting, men of renown;
Num 16:3 and gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Too much for you, when, all the assembly, are, all of them, holy, and, in the midst of them, is Yahweh,––Wherefore, then, should ye set yourselves up, above the convocation of Yahweh?
Num 16:4 And, when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
Num 16:5 Then spake he unto Korah, and unto all his assembly, saying, In the morning, will Yahweh make known––who are his, and who is the holy one, and will cause him to come near unto himself,––yea, him whom he shall choose, will he cause to come near unto himself.
Num 16:6 This, do,––Take to you censers, Korah, and all his assembly;
Num 16:7 and place therein fire, and put thereon incense, before Yahweh, tomorrow, So shall it be––that, the man whom Yahweh shall choose, he, shall be the holy one. Too much for you, ye sons of Levi!
Num 16:8 And Moses said unto Korah,––Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
Num 16:9 Is it too small a thing for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself,––to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them?
Num 16:10 But, having brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, must ye seek, priesthood also?
Num 16:11 Wherefore, thou and all thine assembly, are conspiring against Yahweh,––But, Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him?
Num 16:12 ¶ Then sent Moses, to call for Dathan and for Abiram, sons of Eliab,––and they said, We will not come up:
Num 16:13 Was it, a small thing, that thou didst bring us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the desert, but thou must, continue even to lord it, over us?
Num 16:14 Certainly, not into a land flowing with milk and honey, hast thou brought us, nor given unto us an inheritance of field and vineyard,––The eyes of those men, wilt thou dig out? We will not come up.
Num 16:15 Then was Moses very angry, and he said unto Yahweh, Do not thou have respect unto their meal–offering. Not one ass, from them, have I taken, neither have I wronged one of them.
Num 16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Thou, and all thine assembly, come ye before Yahweh,––thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.
Num 16:17 And take ye each man his censer, and put thereon incense, then shall ye bring near before Yahweh, each man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers,––and, thou and Aaron, each man his censer.
Num 16:18 So they took each man his censer, and put thereon fire, and placed thereon incense,––and took their stand at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Num 16:19 And Korah gathered together against them all the assembly, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting,––then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the assembly.
Num 16:20 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Num 16:21 Separate yourselves out of the midst of this assembly,––that I may consume them in a moment.
Num 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O GOD, the God of the spirits of all flesh,––shall, one man, sin, and, against all the assembly, wilt thou be wroth.
Num 16:23 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 16:24 Speak unto the assembly, saying,––Get ye up from round about the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
Num 16:25 So Moses rose up, and went, unto Dathan and Abiram,––then went, after him, the elders of Israel.
Num 16:26 And he spake unto the assembly, saying––Remove, I pray you, from beside the tents of these lawless men, and do not touch aught that pertaineth unto them,––lest ye be carried off, in all their sins.
Num 16:27 So they went up from beside the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, on every side,––and, Dathan and Abiram, came out and stationed themselves, at the entrance of their tents, with their wives and their sons, and their little ones.
Num 16:28 Then said Moses, Hereby, shall ye know, that, Yahweh, hath sent me, to do, all these works,––verily, not out of my own heart:––
Num 16:29 If, as all human beings die, these, do die, and, the visitation of all human beings, be visited upon them, Yahweh, hath not sent me.
Num 16:30 But, if, a creation, Yahweh create, and the ground open wide her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that pertain unto them, and so they go down, alive, unto hades, then shall ye know, that these men have despised, Yahweh.
Num 16:31 And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground which was under them, clave asunder;
Num 16:32 and the earth opened, her mouth, and swallowed up them, and their households,––and all the human beings who pertained unto Korah, with all their goods:
Num 16:33 so, they, and all that pertained unto them, went down, alive, unto hades,––and the earth, closed upon them, and they perished out of the midst of the convocation.
Num 16:34 And, all Israel who were round about them, fled at their cry,––for they said, Lest the earth, swallow us up.
Num 16:35 ¶ Fire also, came forth, from Yahweh,––and consumed the two hundred and fifty men, who offered the incense.
Num 16:36 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 16:37 Say unto Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the midst of the burning, and, the fire, scatter thou yonder,––for they have been hallowed.
Num 16:38 As for the censers of these sinners against their own persons, they shall be made into beaten–out plates, as an overlay for the altar, for they had brought them near before Yahweh, and hallowed them,––so shall they become a sign, unto the sons of Israel.
Num 16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the censers of bronze, which the consumed men had brought near,––and beat them out into plates for overlaying the altar:
Num 16:40 a memorial unto the sons of Israel, That no stranger, who is, not of the seed of Aaron, shall draw near to offer incense before Yahweh,––lest he become like Korah and like his assembly, As spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses, with regard thereto.
Num 16:41 ¶ And all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmured, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying,––Ye, have caused the death of the people of Yahweh.
Num 16:42 And it came to pass, when the assembly gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, that they turned towards the tent of meeting, and lo! the cloud, had covered it: and the glory of Yahweh, appeared.
Num 16:43 And Moses and Aaron came in, before the tent of meeting.
Num 16:44 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 16:45 Lift yourselves up out of the midst of this assembly, that I may consume them, as in a moment,––And they fell upon their faces.
Num 16:46 Then said Moses unto Aaron––Take the censer and place thereon fire, from off the altar, and put incense [thereon], and, going quickly into the assembly, put a propitiatory–covering over them,––for wrath hath gone forth, from before Yahweh, the plague, hath begun.
Num 16:47 Then took Aaron, as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the convocation, and lo! the plague, had begun, among the people,––so he placed the incense, and put a propitiatory–covering over the people:
Num 16:48 thus did he take his stand between the dead and the living,––and the plague, was restrained.
Num 16:49 And so it was, that they who died in the plague were fourteen thousand, and seven hundred,––besides them who died over the matter of Korah.
Num 16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting,––when, the plague, had been restrained.
Num 17:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 17:2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and take of them, one staff each for an ancestral house, of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves,––each man’s name, shalt thou write upon his staff;
Num 17:3 and, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi,––for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral house.
Num 17:4 Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting,––before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Num 17:5 So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud,––so will I cause to cease from against me, the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith, they, are murmuring against you.
Num 17:6 And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves,––and, the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.
Num 17:7 So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh,––in the tent of the testimony.
Num 17:8 ¶ And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded,––yea it had brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.
Num 17:9 So then Moses brought forth, all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel,––and they saw and took, each man his own staff.
Num 17:10 And Yahweh said unto Moses––Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse,––that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me, that they die not.
Num 17:11 Thus did Moses,––as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.
Num 17:12 Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses, saying: Lo! we have breathed our last––we are lost, we are, all, lost:
Num 17:13 whosoever draweth near––draweth near––unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth,––are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?
Num 18:1 ¶ And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou, and thy sons, and the house of thy father with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary,––and, thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Num 18:2 Therefore also, thy brethren of the tribe of Levi, the stem of thy father, bring thou near with thee, and let them be joined unto thee, and let them wait upon thee,––both on thee and on thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.
Num 18:3 So shall they keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent,––only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary, and unto the altar, shall they not come near, lest they die––both they, and ye.
Num 18:4 So shall they be joined unto thee, and shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, as to all the laborious work of the tent,––but, a stranger, shall not come near unto you.
Num 18:5 So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar,––that there no more, be wrath against the sons of Israel.
Num 18:6 I, therefore, lo! I have taken your brethren the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel,––unto you, as a gift, are they given, unto Yahweh, to do the laborious work of the tent of meeting.
Num 18:7 But, thou and thy sons with thee, shall keep the charge of your priesthood, as to every matter of the altar, and as to the interior of the veil, and shall do the laborious work,––as a laborious service of gifts, do I give your priesthood, and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.
Num 18:8 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee, the charge of my heave–offerings,––as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel––unto thee, have I given them, as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons, for a statute age–abiding.
Num 18:9 This, shall be thine, out of the things most holy, out of the fire,––their every oblation––to the extent of their every meal–offering, and their every sin–bearer, and their every guilt–bearer wherewith they make amends unto me, most holy unto thee, shall it be, and unto thy sons.
Num 18:10 As something most holy, shall ye eat it,––every male, shall eat it, holy, shall it be unto thee.
Num 18:11 This, therefore, shall be thine––the heave–offering of their gift, even all the wave–offerings of the sons of Israel, unto thee, have I given them, and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee, by a statute age–abiding,––every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it.
Num 18:12 All the best of oil, and all the best of new–wine and corn,––the firstfruits thereof, which they shall give unto Yahweh, unto thee, have I given them.
Num 18:13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they shall bring in unto Yahweh, thine, shall it be,––every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it:
Num 18:14 every devoted thing in Israel, thine, shall it be:
Num 18:15 every thing that is born first––of all flesh that may be offered unto Yahweh, among men and among beasts, shall be thine,––only thou shalt, redeem, the firstborn of men, and, the firstborn of unclean beasts, shalt thou redeem.
Num 18:16 And, as to the redemption price thereof, from a month old, shalt thou redeem, by thine estimate, five shekels of silver, by the shekel of the sanctuary,––twenty gerahs, it is.
Num 18:17 Only, a firstling ox or a firstling sheep or a firstling goat, shalt thou not redeem, hallowed, they are,––their blood, shalt thou dash against the altar, and, of their fat, shalt thou make a perfume, an altar–flame, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh:
Num 18:18 and, their flesh, shall be thine,––as the wave–breast and as the right leg, thine, shall it be:
Num 18:19 all the heave–offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall heave up unto Yahweh, have I given unto thee, and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee, by a statute age–abiding,––an age–abiding covenant of salt, it is, before Yahweh, for thee, and for thy seed with thee.
Num 18:20 ¶ Then said Yahweh unto Aaron: In their land, thou shalt have no inheritance, and no, allotted portion, shalt thou have, in their midst,––I, am thine allotted portion and thine inheritance, in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Num 18:21 And, unto the sons of Levi, lo! I have given all the tenth in Israel, for an inheritance,––the allotted portion for their laborious work which, they, are performing, the laborious work of the tent of meeting:
Num 18:22 that the sons of Israel, come near no more, unto the tent of meeting,––to bear sin, to die.
Num 18:23 So shall the Levites themselves, perform the laborious work of the tent of meeting, and, they, shall bear their iniquity, a statute age–abiding, unto your generations, and, in the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.
Num 18:24 Because, the tenth of the sons of Israel, which they shall offer up unto Yahweh as a heave–offering, have I given unto the Levites, as an inheritance,––for this cause, said I regarding them, In the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.
Num 18:25 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Num 18:26 Unto the Levites, therefore, shalt thou speak, and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them, as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave–offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.
Num 18:27 So shall your heave–offering be reckoned your own,––as corn out of the threshing–floor, and as the abundance, out of the wine–press.
Num 18:28 Thus, shall, ye also, offer up the heave–offering of Yahweh, out of all your tenths which ye shall take from the sons of Israel,––and give therefrom the heave–offering of Yahweh, unto Aaron the priest.
Num 18:29 Out of all your gifts, shall ye offer up every heave–offering of Yahweh,––out of all the best thereof, the hallowed pert thereof, out of it.
Num 18:30 And thou shalt say unto them,––When ye offer the best thereof, out of it, then shall it be reckoned to belong unto the Levites, as the increase of the threshing–floor, and as the increase of the wine–press.
Num 18:31 And ye shall eat it in any place, ye, and your household,––for, a reward, it is, unto you, the allotted portion for your laborious work in the tent of meeting.
Num 18:32 And ye shall not, by reason of it, bear sin, when ye offer up the best thereof, out of it; and, the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, shall ye not profane, neither shall ye die.
Num 19:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Num 19:2 This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded, saying,––Speak unto the sons of Israel––That they br
