three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.
04:001:047 But the Levites after
the tribe of their fathers were not
numbered among them.
04:001:048 For the LORD had spoken
unto Moses, saying,
04:001:049 Only thou shalt not
number the tribe of Levi, neither take the
sum of them among the
children of Israel:
04:001:050 But thou shalt appoint
the Levites over the tabernacle of
testimony, and over all
the vessels thereof, and over all
things that belong to
it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and
all the vessels
thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and
shall encamp round
about the tabernacle.
04:001:051 And when the tabernacle
setteth forward, the Levites shall
take it down: and when
the tabernacle is to be pitched, the
Levites shall set it
up: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
04:001:052 And the children of
Israel shall pitch their tents, every man
by his own camp, and
every man by his own standard, throughout
their hosts.
04:001:053 But the Levites shall
pitch round about the tabernacle of
testimony, that there
be no wrath upon the congregation of the
children of Israel: and
the Levites shall keep the charge of
the tabernacle of
testimony.
04:001:054 And the children of
Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so did
they.
04:002:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:002:002 Every man of the
children of Israel shall pitch by his own
standard, with the
ensign of their father's house: far off
about the tabernacle of
the congregation shall they pitch.
04:002:003 And on the east side
toward the rising of the sun shall they
of the standard of the
camp of Judah pitch throughout their
armies: and Nahshon the
son of Amminadab shall be captain of
the children of Judah.
04:002:004 And his host, and those

Reuben shall be Elizur
the son of Shedeur.
04:002:011 And his host, and those
that were numbered thereof, were forty
and six thousand and
five hundred.
04:002:012 And those which pitch
by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and
the captain of the

04:002:013 And his host, and those

04:002:015 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were forty
and five thousand and
six hundred and fifty.
04:002:016 All that were numbered
in the camp of Reuben were an hundred
thousand and fifty and
one thousand and four hundred and
fifty, throughout their
armies. And they shall set forth in
the second rank.
04:002:017 Then the tabernacle of
the congregation shall set forward with
the camp of the Levites
in the midst of the camp: as they
encamp, so shall they
set forward, every man in his place by
their standards.
04:002:018 On the west side shall
be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
according to their
armies: and the captain of the sons of
Ephraim shall be
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
04:002:019 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were forty
thousand and five
hundred.
04:002:020 And by him shall be the
tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of
the children of
Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of
Pedahzur.
04:002:021 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were
thirty and two thousand
and two hundred.
04:002:022 Then the tribe of
Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of
Benjamin shall be
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
04:002:023 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were
thirty and five
thousand and four hundred.
04:002:024 All that were numbered
of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred
thousand and eight
thousand and an hundred, throughout their

go forward in the third rank.
04:002:025 The standard of the
camp of Dan shall be on the north side by
their armies: and the
captain of the children of Dan shall be
Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
04:002:026 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were
threescore and two
thousand and seven hundred.
04:002:027 And those that encamp
by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and
the captain of the
children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son

04:002:028 And his host, and those

04:002:031 All they that were
numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred
thousand and fifty and
seven thousand and six hundred. They
shall go hindmost with
their standards.
04:002:032 These are those which
were numbered of the children of Israel
by the house of their
fathers: all those that were numbered of
the camps throughout
their hosts were six hundred thousand and
three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.
04:002:033 But the Levites were
not numbered among the children of
Israel; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
04:002:034 And the children of
Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses: so
they pitched by their standards, and so
they set forward, every
one after their families, according to
the house of their
fathers.
04:003:001 These also are the
generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
that the LORD spake
with Moses in mount Sinai.
04:003:002 And these are the names
of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the
firstborn, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar.
04:003:003 These are the names of
the sons of Aaron, the priests which
were anointed, whom he
consecrated to minister in the priest's
office.
04:003:004 And Nadab and Abihu
died before the LORD, when they offered
strange fire before the
LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and
they had no children:
and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
the priest's office in
the sight of Aaron their father.
04:003:005 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:003:006 Bring the tribe of Levi
near, and present them before Aaron
the priest, that they
may minister unto him.
04:003:007 And they shall keep his
charge, and the charge of the whole
congregation before the
tabernacle of the congregation, to do
the service of the
tabernacle.
04:003:008 And they shall keep all
the instruments of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and
the charge of the children of Israel, to
do the service of the
tabernacle.
04:003:009 And thou shalt give the
Levites unto Aaron and to his sons:
they are wholly given
unto him out of the children of Israel.
04:003:010 And thou shalt appoint
Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait
on their priest's
office: and the stranger that cometh nigh
shall be put to death.
04:003:011 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:003:012 And I, behold, I have
taken the Levites from among the
children of Israel
instead of all the firstborn that openeth
the matrix among the
children of Israel: therefore the Levites
shall be mine;
04:003:013 Because all the
firstborn are mine; for on the day that I
smote all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto
me all the firstborn in
Israel, both man and beast: mine shall
they be: I am the LORD.
04:003:014 And the LORD spake unto
Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
saying,
04:003:015 Number the children of
Levi after the house of their fathers,
by their families:
every male from a month old and upward
shalt thou number them.
04:003:016 And Moses numbered them
according to the word of the LORD, as
he was commanded.
04:003:017 And these were the sons
of Levi by their names; Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari.
04:003:018 And these are the names
of the sons of Gershon by their
families; Libni, and
Shimei.
04:003:019 And the sons of Kohath
by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
Hebron, and Uzziel.
04:003:020 And the sons of Merari
by their families; Mahli, and Mushi.
These are the families
of the Levites according to the house
of their fathers.
04:003:021 Of Gershon was the
family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimites: these are
the families of the Gershonites.
04:003:022 Those that were
numbered of them, according to the number of
all the males, from a
month old and upward, even those that
were numbered of them
were seven thousand and five hundred.
04:003:023 The families of the
Gershonites shall pitch behind the
tabernacle westward.
04:003:024 And the chief of the
house of the father of the Gershonites
shall be Eliasaph the
son of Lael.
04:003:025 And the charge of the
sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation shall be
the tabernacle, and the tent, the
covering thereof, and
the hanging for the door of the
tabernacle of the
congregation,
04:003:026 And the hangings of the
court, and the curtain for the door of
the court, which is by
the tabernacle, and by the altar round
about, and the cords of
it for all the service thereof.
04:003:027 And of Kohath was the
family of the Amramites, and the family
of the Izeharites, and
the family of the Hebronites, and the
family of the
Uzzielites: these are the families of the
Kohathites.
04:003:028 In the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward,
were eight thousand and
six hundred, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary.
04:003:029 The families of the
sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of
the tabernacle
southward.
04:003:030 And the chief of the
house of the father of the families of
the Kohathites shall be
Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
04:003:031 And their charge shall
be the ark, and the table, and the
candlestick, and the
altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary
wherewith they
minister, and the hanging, and all the service
thereof.
04:003:032 And Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest shall be chief over
the chief of the
Levites, and have the oversight of them that
keep the charge of the
sanctuary.
04:003:033 Of Merari was the
family of the Mahlites, and the family of
the Mushites: these are
the families of Merari.
04:003:034 And those that were
numbered of them, according to the number
of all the males, from
a month old and upward, were six
thousand and two
hundred.
04:003:035 And the chief of the
house of the father of the families of
Merari was Zuriel the
son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the
side of the tabernacle
northward.
04:003:036 And under the custody
and charge of the sons of Merari shall
be the boards of the
tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the
pillars thereof, and
the sockets thereof, and all the vessels
thereof, and all that
serveth thereto,
04:003:037 And the pillars of the
court round about, and their sockets,
and their pins, and
their cords.
04:003:038 But those that encamp
before the tabernacle toward the east,
even before the
tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall
be Moses, and Aaron and
his sons, keeping the charge of the
sanctuary for the
charge of the children of Israel; and the
stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death.
04:003:039 All that were numbered
of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron
numbered at the
commandment of the LORD, throughout their
families, all the males
from a month old and upward, were
twenty and two
thousand.
04:003:040 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
males of the children
of Israel from a month old and upward,
and take the number of
their names.
04:003:041 And thou shalt take the
Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead
of all the firstborn
among the children of Israel; and the
cattle of the Levites
instead of all the firstlings among the
cattle of the children
of Israel.
04:003:042 And Moses numbered, as
the LORD commanded him, all the
firstborn among the
children of Israel.
04:003:043 And all the firstborn
males by the number of names, from a
month old and upward,
of those that were numbered of them,
were twenty and two
thousand two hundred and threescore and
thirteen.
04:003:044 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:003:045 Take the Levites
instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel, and
the cattle of the Levites instead of
their cattle; and the
Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.
04:003:046 And for those that are
to be redeemed of the two hundred and
threescore and thirteen
of the firstborn of the children of
Israel, which are more
than the Levites;
04:003:047 Thou shalt even take
five shekels apiece by the poll, after
the shekel of the
sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel
is twenty gerahs:)
04:003:048 And thou shalt give the
money, wherewith the odd number of
them is to be redeemed,
unto Aaron and to his sons.
04:003:049 And Moses took the
redemption money of them that were over and
above them that were
redeemed by the Levites:
04:003:050 Of the firstborn of the
children of Israel took he the money;
a thousand three
hundred and threescore and five shekels,
after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
04:003:051 And Moses gave the
money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron
and to his sons,
according to the word of the LORD, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
04:004:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:004:002 Take the sum of the
sons of Kohath from among the sons of
Levi, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
04:004:003 From thirty years old
and upward even until fifty years old,
all that enter into the
host, to do the work in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
04:004:004 This shall be the
service of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the
congregation, about the most holy things:
04:004:005 And when the camp
setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
sons, and they shall
take down the covering vail, and cover
the ark of testimony
with it:
04:004:006 And shall put thereon
the covering of badgers' skins, and
shall spread over it a
cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in
the staves thereof.
04:004:007 And upon the table of
shewbread they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and put thereon
the dishes, and the spoons, and the
bowls, and covers to
cover withal: and the continual bread
shall be thereon:
04:004:008 And they shall spread
upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover
the same with a
covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in
the staves thereof.
04:004:009 And they shall take a
cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick
of the light, and his
lamps, and his tongs, and his
snuffdishes, and all
the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister unto it:
04:004:010 And they shall put it
and all the vessels thereof within a
covering of badgers'
skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
04:004:011 And upon the golden
altar they shall spread a cloth of blue,
and cover it with a
covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
to the staves thereof:
04:004:012 And they shall take all
the instruments of ministry, wherewith
they minister in the
sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of
blue, and cover them
with a covering of badgers' skins, and
shall put them on a
bar:
04:004:013 And they shall take
away the ashes from the altar, and spread
a purple cloth thereon:
04:004:014 And they shall put upon
it all the vessels thereof, wherewith
they minister about it,
even the censers, the fleshhooks, and
the shovels, and the
basons, all the vessels of the altar; and
they shall spread upon
it a covering of badgers' skins, and
put to the staves of
it.
04:004:015 And when Aaron and his
sons have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the
vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp
is to set forward;
after that, the sons of Kohath shall come
to bear it: but they
shall not touch any holy thing, lest they
die. These things are
the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the
congregation.
04:004:016 And to the office of
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertaineth the oil for
the light, and the sweet incense, and
the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil, and the
oversight of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein is,
in the sanctuary, and
in the vessels thereof.
04:004:017 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron saying,
04:004:018 Cut ye not off the
tribe of the families of the Kohathites
from among the Levites:
04:004:019 But thus do unto them,
that they may live, and not die, when
they approach unto the
most holy things: Aaron and his sons
shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to
his burden:
04:004:020 But they shall not go
in to see when the holy things are
covered, lest they die.
04:004:021 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:004:022 Take also the sum of
the sons of Gershon, throughout the
houses of their
fathers, by their families;
04:004:023 From thirty years old
and upward until fifty years old shalt
thou number them; all
that enter in to perform the service, to
do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
04:004:024 This is the service of
the families of the Gershonites, to
serve, and for burdens:
04:004:025 And they shall bear the
curtains of the tabernacle, and the
tabernacle of the
congregation, his covering, and the covering
of the badgers' skins
that is above upon it, and the hanging
for the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
04:004:026 And the hangings of the
court, and the hanging for the door of
the gate of the court,
which is by the tabernacle and by the
altar round about, and
their cords, and all the instruments of
their service, and all
that is made for them: so shall they
serve.
04:004:027 At the appointment of
Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of
the Gershonites, in all their burdens,
and in all their
service: and ye shall appoint unto them in
charge all their
burdens.
04:004:028 This is the service of
the families of the sons of Gershon in
the tabernacle of the
congregation: and their charge shall be
under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
04:004:029 As for the sons of
Merari, thou shalt number them after their
families, by the house
of their fathers;
04:004:030 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old
shalt thou number them,
every one that entereth into the
service, to do the work
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
04:004:031 And this is the charge
of their burden, according to all their
service in the
tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of
the tabernacle, and the
bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
and sockets thereof,
04:004:032 And the pillars of the
court round about, and their sockets,
and their pins, and
their cords, with all their instruments,
and with all their
service: and by name ye shall reckon the
instruments of the
charge of their burden.
04:004:033 This is the service of
the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their
service, in the tabernacle of the
congregation, under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the
priest.
04:004:034 And Moses and Aaron and
the chief of the congregation numbered
the sons of the
Kohathites after their families, and after the
house of their fathers,
04:004:035 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth
into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the
congregation:
04:004:036 And those that were
numbered of them by their families were
two thousand seven
hundred and fifty.
04:004:037 These were they that
were numbered of the families of the
Kohathites, all that
might do service in the tabernacle of the
congregation, which
Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the
LORD by the hand of Moses.
04:004:038 And those that were
numbered of the sons of Gershon,
throughout their
families, and by the house of their fathers,
04:004:039 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth
into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the
congregation,
04:004:040 Even those that were
numbered of them, throughout their
families, by the house
of their fathers, were two thousand and
six hundred and thirty.
04:004:041 These are they that
were numbered of the families of the sons
of Gershon, of all that
might do service in the tabernacle of
the congregation, whom
Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the
LORD.
04:004:042 And those that were
numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, throughout
their families, by the house of their
fathers,
04:004:043 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entereth
into the service, for the work in the
tabernacle of the
congregation,
04:004:044 Even those that were
numbered of them after their families,
were three thousand and
two hundred.
04:004:045 These be those that
were numbered of the families of the sons
of Merari, whom Moses
and Aaron numbered according to the word
of the LORD by the hand
of Moses.
04:004:046 All those that were
numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
Aaron and the chief of
Israel numbered, after their families,
and after the house of
their fathers,
04:004:047 From thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that came to
do the service of the ministry, and the
service of the burden
in the tabernacle of the congregation.
04:004:048 Even those that were
numbered of them, were eight thousand and
five hundred and
fourscore,
04:004:049 According to the
commandment of the LORD they were numbered by
the hand of Moses,
every one according to his service, and
according to his
burden: thus were they numbered of him, as
the LORD commanded
Moses.
04:005:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:005:002 Command the children of
Israel, that they put out of the camp
every leper, and every
one that hath an issue, and whosoever
is defiled by the dead:
04:005:003 Both male and female
shall ye put out, without the camp shall
ye put them; that they
defile not their camps, in the midst
whereof I dwell.
04:005:004 And the children of
Israel did so, and put them out without
the camp: as the LORD
spake unto Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
04:005:005 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:005:006 Speak unto the children
of Israel, When a man or woman shall
commit any sin that men
commit, to do a trespass against the
LORD, and that person
be guilty;
04:005:007 Then they shall confess
their sin which they have done: and he
shall recompense his
trespass with the principal thereof, and
add unto it the fifth
part thereof, and give it unto him
against whom he hath
trespassed.
04:005:008 But if the man have no
kinsman to recompense the trespass
unto, let the trespass
be recompensed unto the LORD, even to
the priest; beside the
ram of the atonement, whereby an
atonement shall be made
for him.
04:005:009 And every offering of
all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they
bring unto the priest, shall be his.
04:005:010 And every man's
hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any
man giveth the priest,
it shall be his.
04:005:011 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:005:012 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, If any
man's wife go aside,
and commit a trespass against him,
04:005:013 And a man lie with her
carnally, and it be hid from the eyes
of her husband, and be
kept close, and she be defiled, and
there be no witness
against her, neither she be taken with the
manner;
04:005:014 And the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of
his wife, and she be
defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he
be jealous of his wife, and she be not
defiled:
04:005:015 Then shall the man
bring his wife unto the priest, and he
shall bring her
offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah
of barley meal; he
shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon;
for it is an offering of jealousy, an
offering of memorial,
bringing iniquity to remembrance.
04:005:016 And the priest shall
bring her near, and set her before the
LORD:
04:005:017 And the priest shall
take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is in
the floor of the tabernacle the priest
shall take, and put it
into the water:
04:005:018 And the priest shall
set the woman before the LORD, and
uncover the woman's
head, and put the offering of memorial in
her hands, which is the
jealousy offering: and the priest
shall have in his hand
the bitter water that causeth the
curse:
04:005:019 And the priest shall
charge her by an oath, and say unto the
woman, If no man have
lain with thee, and if thou hast not
gone aside to
uncleanness with another instead of thy husband,
be thou free from this
bitter water that causeth the curse:
04:005:020 But if thou hast gone
aside to another instead of thy husband,
and if thou be defiled,
and some man have lain with thee
beside thine husband:
04:005:021 Then the priest shall
charge the woman with an oath of
cursing, and the priest
shall say unto the woman, The LORD
make thee a curse and
an oath among thy people, when the LORD
doth make thy thigh to
rot, and thy belly to swell;
04:005:022 And this water that
causeth the curse shall go into thy
bowels, to make thy
belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And
the woman shall say,
Amen, amen.
04:005:023 And the priest shall
write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out
with the bitter water:
04:005:024 And he shall cause the
woman to drink the bitter water that
causeth the curse: and
the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her, and
become bitter.
04:005:025 Then the priest shall
take the jealousy offering out of the
woman's hand, and shall
wave the offering before the LORD, and
offer it upon the
altar:
04:005:026 And the priest shall
take an handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and
burn it upon the altar, and afterward
shall cause the woman
to drink the water.
04:005:027 And when he hath made
her to drink the water, then it shall
come to pass, that, if
she be defiled, and have done trespass
against her husband,
that the water that causeth the curse
shall enter into her,
and become bitter, and her belly shall
swell, and her thigh
shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse
among her people.
04:005:028 And if the woman be not
defiled, but be clean; then she shall
be free, and shall
conceive seed.
04:005:029 This is the law of
jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to
another instead of her
husband, and is defiled;
04:005:030 Or when the spirit of
jealousy cometh upon him, and he be
jealous over his wife,
and shall set the woman before the
LORD, and the priest
shall execute upon her all this law.
04:005:031 Then shall the man be
guiltless from iniquity, and this woman
shall bear her
iniquity.
04:006:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:006:002 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When
either man or woman
shall separate themselves to vow a vow of
a Nazarite, to separate
themselves unto the LORD:
04:006:003 He shall separate
himself from wine and strong drink, and
shall drink no vinegar
of wine, or vinegar of strong drink,
neither shall he drink
any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist
grapes, or dried.
04:006:004 All the days of his
separation shall he eat nothing that is
made of the vine tree,
from the kernels even to the husk.
04:006:005 All the days of the vow
of his separation there shall no razor
come upon his head:
until the days be fulfilled, in the which
he separateth himself
unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and
shall let the locks of
the hair of his head grow.
04:006:006 All the days that he
separateth himself unto the LORD he shall
come at no dead body.
04:006:007 He shall not make
himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his
brother, or for his sister, when they die:
because the
consecration of his God is upon his head.
04:006:008 All the days of his
separation he is holy unto the LORD.
04:006:009 And if any man die very
suddenly by him, and he hath defiled
the head of his
consecration; then he shall shave his head in
the day of his
cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave
it.
04:006:010 And on the eighth day
he shall bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons, to the priest,
to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
04:006:011 And the priest shall
offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt
offering, and make an atonement for him, for
that he sinned by the
dead, and shall hallow his head that
same day.
04:006:012 And he shall consecrate
unto the LORD the days of his
separation, and shall
bring a lamb of the first year for a
trespass offering: but
the days that were before shall be
lost, because his
separation was defiled.
04:006:013 And this is the law of
the Nazarite, when the days of his
separation are
fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of
the tabernacle of the
congregation:
04:006:014 And he shall offer his
offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of
the first year without
blemish for a burnt offering, and one
ewe lamb of the first
year without blemish for a sin offering,
and one ram without
blemish for peace offerings,
04:006:015 And a basket of
unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled
with oil, and wafers of
unleavened bread anointed with oil,
and their meat
offering, and their drink offerings.
04:006:016 And the priest shall
bring them before the LORD, and shall
offer his sin offering,
and his burnt offering:
04:006:017 And he shall offer the
ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings
unto the LORD, with the
basket of unleavened bread: the priest
shall offer also his
meat offering, and his drink offering.
04:006:018 And the Nazarite shall
shave the head of his separation at the
door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and shall take the
hair of the head of his
separation, and put it in the fire
which is under the
sacrifice of the peace offerings.
04:006:019 And the priest shall
take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and
one unleavened cake out
of the basket, and one unleavened
wafer, and shall put
them upon the hands of the Nazarite,
after the hair of his
separation is shaven:
04:006:020 And the priest shall
wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD: this is holy for
the priest, with the wave breast and
heave shoulder: and
after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
04:006:021 This is the law of the
Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his
offering unto the LORD
for his separation, beside that that
his hand shall get:
according to the vow which he vowed, so he
must do after the law
of his separation.
04:006:022 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:006:023 Speak unto Aaron and
unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye
shall bless the
children of Israel, saying unto them,
04:006:024 The LORD bless thee,
and keep thee:
04:006:025 The LORD make his face
shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee:
04:006:026 The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace.
04:006:027 And they shall put my
name upon the children of Israel, and I
will bless them.
04:007:001 And it came to pass on
the day that Moses had fully set up the
tabernacle, and had
anointed it, and sanctified it, and all
the instruments
thereof, both the altar and all the vessels
thereof, and had
anointed them, and sanctified them;
04:007:002 That the princes of
Israel, heads of the house of their
fathers, who were the
princes of the tribes, and were over
them that were
numbered, offered:
04:007:003 And they brought their
offering before the LORD, six covered
wagons, and twelve
oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and
for each one an ox: and
they brought them before the
tabernacle.
04:007:004 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:007:005 Take it of them, that
they may be to do the service of the
tabernacle of the
congregation; and thou shalt give them unto
the Levites, to every
man according to his service.
04:007:006 And Moses took the
wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the
Levites.
04:007:007 Two wagons and four
oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,
according to their
service:
04:007:008 And four wagons and
eight oxen he gave unto the sons of
Merari, according unto
their service, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.
04:007:009 But unto the sons of
Kohath he gave none: because the service
of the sanctuary
belonging unto them was that they should bear
upon their shoulders.
04:007:010 And the princes offered
for dedicating of the altar in the day
that it was anointed,
even the princes offered their offering
before the altar.
04:007:011 And the LORD said unto
Moses, They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his day,
for the dedicating of the altar.
04:007:012 And he that offered his
offering the first day was Nahshon the
son of Amminadab, of

04:007:072 On the eleventh day
Pagiel the son of Ocran, prince of the
children of Asher,
offered:
04:007:073 His offering was one
silver charger, the weight whereof was an
hundred and thirty
shekels, one silver bowl of seventy
shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full
of fine flour mingled
with oil for a meat offering:
04:007:074 One golden spoon of ten
shekels, full of incense:
04:007:075 One young bullock, one
ram, one lamb of the first year, for a
burnt offering:
04:007:076 One kid of the goats
for a sin offering:
04:007:077 And for a sacrifice of
peace offerings, two oxen, five rams,
five he goats, five
lambs of the first year: this was the
offering of Pagiel the
son of Ocran.
04:007:078 On the twelfth day
Ahira the son of Enan, prince of the
children of Naphtali,
offered:
04:007:079 His offering was one
silver charger, the weight whereof was an
hundred and thirty
shekels, one silver bowl of seventy
shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full
of fine flour mingled
with oil for a meat offering:
04:007:080 One golden spoon of ten
shekels, full of incense:
04:007:081 One young bullock, one
ram, one lamb of the first year, for a
burnt offering:
04:007:082 One kid of the goats
for a sin offering:
04:007:083 And for a sacrifice of
peace offerings, two oxen, five rams,
five he goats, five
lambs of the first year: this was the
offering of Ahira the
son of Enan.
04:007:084 This was the dedication
of the altar, in the day when it was
anointed, by the
princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver,
twelve silver bowls,
twelve spoons of gold:
04:007:085 Each charger of silver
weighing an hundred and thirty shekels,
each bowl seventy: all
the silver vessels weighed two thousand
and four hundred
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
04:007:086 The golden spoons were
twelve, full of incense, weighing ten
shekels apiece, after
the shekel of the sanctuary: all the
gold of the spoons was
an hundred and twenty shekels.
04:007:087 All the oxen for the
burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the
rams twelve, the lambs
of the first year twelve, with their
meat offering: and the
kids of the goats for sin offering
twelve.
04:007:088 And all the oxen for
the sacrifice of the peace offerings were
twenty and four
bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty,
the lambs of the first
year sixty. This was the dedication of
the altar, after that
it was anointed.
04:007:089 And when Moses was gone
into the tabernacle of the
congregation to speak
with him, then he heard the voice of one
speaking unto him from
off the mercy seat that was upon the
ark of testimony, from
between the two cherubims: and he spake
unto him.
04:008:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:008:002 Speak unto Aaron and
say unto him, When thou lightest the
lamps, the seven lamps
shall give light over against the
candlestick.
04:008:003 And Aaron did so; he
lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
04:008:004 And this work of the
candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the
shaft thereof, unto the
flowers thereof, was beaten work:
according unto the
pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so
he made the
candlestick.
04:008:005 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:008:006 Take the Levites from
among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
04:008:007 And thus shalt thou do
unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle
water of purifying upon
them, and let them shave all their
flesh, and let them
wash their clothes, and so make themselves
clean.
04:008:008 Then let them take a
young bullock with his meat offering,
even fine flour mingled
with oil, and another young bullock
shalt thou take for a
sin offering.
04:008:009 And thou shalt bring
the Levites before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and thou
shalt gather the whole assembly of the
children of Israel
together:
04:008:010 And thou shalt bring
the Levites before the LORD: and the
children of Israel
shall put their hands upon the Levites:
04:008:011 And Aaron shall offer
the Levites before the LORD for an
offering of the
children of Israel, that they may execute the
service of the LORD.
04:008:012 And the Levites shall
lay their hands upon the heads of the
bullocks: and thou
shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and
the other for a burnt
offering, unto the LORD, to make an
atonement for the
Levites.
04:008:013 And thou shalt set the
Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them
for an offering unto the LORD.
04:008:014 Thus shalt thou
separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel: and the
Levites shall be mine.
04:008:015 And after that shall
the Levites go in to do the service of
the tabernacle of the
congregation: and thou shalt cleanse
them, and offer them
for an offering.
04:008:016 For they are wholly
given unto me from among the children of
Israel; instead of such
as open every womb, even instead of
the firstborn of all
the children of Israel, have I taken them
unto me.
04:008:017 For all the firstborn
of the children of Israel are mine, both
man and beast: on the
day that I smote every firstborn in the
land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
04:008:018 And I have taken the
Levites for all the firstborn of the
children of Israel.
04:008:019 And I have given the
Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his
sons from among the
children of Israel, to do the service of
the children of Israel
in the tabernacle of the congregation,
and to make an
atonement for the children of Israel: that
there be no plague
among the children of Israel, when the
children of Israel come
nigh unto the sanctuary.
04:008:020 And Moses, and Aaron,
and all the congregation of the children
of Israel, did to the
Levites according unto all that the LORD
commanded Moses
concerning the Levites, so did the children of
Israel unto them.
04:008:021 And the Levites were
purified, and they washed their clothes;
and Aaron offered them
as an offering before the LORD; and
Aaron made an atonement
for them to cleanse them.
04:008:022 And after that went the
Levites in to do their service in the
tabernacle of the
congregation before Aaron, and before his
sons: as the LORD had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites,
so did they unto them.
04:008:023 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:008:024 This is it that
belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and
five years old and
upward they shall go in to wait upon the
service of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
04:008:025 And from the age of
fifty years they shall cease waiting upon
the service thereof,
and shall serve no more:
04:008:026 But shall minister with
their brethren in the tabernacle of
the congregation, to
keep the charge, and shall do no service.
Thus shalt thou do unto
the Levites touching their charge.
04:009:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the first month of the
second year after they were come out of
the land of Egypt,
saying,
04:009:002 Let the children of
Israel also keep the passover at his
appointed season.
04:009:003 In the fourteenth day
of this month, at even, ye shall keep it
in his appointed
season: according to all the rites of it, and
according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
04:009:004 And Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover.
04:009:005 And they kept the
passover on the fourteenth day of the first
month at even in the
wilderness of Sinai: according to all
that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the children of Israel.
04:009:006 And there were certain
men, who were defiled by the dead body
of a man, that they
could not keep the passover on that day:
and they came before
Moses and before Aaron on that day:
04:009:007 And those men said unto
him, We are defiled by the dead body
of a man: wherefore are
we kept back, that we may not offer an
offering of the LORD in
his appointed season among the
children of Israel?
04:009:008 And Moses said unto
them, Stand still, and I will hear what
the LORD will command
concerning you.
04:009:009 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:009:010 Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, If any man of you
or of your posterity
shall be unclean by reason of a dead
body, or be in a
journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
passover unto the LORD.
04:009:011 The fourteenth day of
the second month at even they shall keep
it, and eat it with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
04:009:012 They shall leave none
of it unto the morning, nor break any
bone of it: according
to all the ordinances of the passover
they shall keep it.
04:009:013 But the man that is
clean, and is not in a journey, and
forbeareth to keep the
passover, even the same soul shall be
cut off from among his
people: because he brought not the
offering of the LORD in
his appointed season, that man shall
bear his sin.
04:009:014 And if a stranger shall
sojourn among you, and will keep the
passover unto the LORD;
according to the ordinance of the
passover, and according
to the manner thereof, so shall he do:
ye shall have one
ordinance, both for the stranger, and for
him that was born in
the land.
04:009:015 And on the day that the
tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle,
namely, the tent of the testimony: and
at even there was upon
the tabernacle as it were the
appearance of fire,
until the morning.
04:009:016 So it was alway: the
cloud covered it by day, and the
appearance of fire by
night.
04:009:017 And when the cloud was
taken up from the tabernacle, then
after that the children
of Israel journeyed: and in the place
where the cloud abode,
there the children of Israel pitched
their tents.
04:009:018 At the commandment of
the LORD the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the
commandment of the LORD they pitched: as
long as the cloud abode
upon the tabernacle they rested in
their tents.
04:009:019 And when the cloud
tarried long upon the tabernacle many days,
then the children of
Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and
journeyed not.
04:009:020 And so it was, when the
cloud was a few days upon the
tabernacle; according
to the commandment of the LORD they
abode in their tents,
and according to the commandment of the
LORD they journeyed.
04:009:021 And so it was, when the
cloud abode from even unto the
morning, and that the
cloud was taken up in the morning, then
they journeyed: whether
it was by day or by night that the
cloud was taken up,
they journeyed.
04:009:022 Or whether it were two
days, or a month, or a year, that the
cloud tarried upon the
tabernacle, remaining thereon, the
children of Israel
abode in their tents, and journeyed not:
but when it was taken
up, they journeyed.
04:009:023 At the commandment of
the LORD they rested in the tents, and
at the commandment of
the LORD they journeyed: they kept the
charge of the LORD, at
the commandment of the LORD by the hand
of Moses.
04:010:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:010:002 Make thee two trumpets
of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou
make them: that thou
mayest use them for the calling of the
assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps.
04:010:003 And when they shall
blow with them, all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to
thee at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
04:010:004 And if they blow but
with one trumpet, then the princes, which
are heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
04:010:005 When ye blow an alarm,
then the camps that lie on the east
parts shall go forward.
04:010:006 When ye blow an alarm
the second time, then the camps that lie
on the south side shall
take their journey: they shall blow an
alarm for their
journeys.
04:010:007 But when the
congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall
blow, but ye shall not
sound an alarm.
04:010:008 And the sons of Aaron,
the priests, shall blow with the
trumpets; and they
shall be to you for an ordinance for ever
throughout your
generations.
04:010:009 And if ye go to war in
your land against the enemy that
oppresseth you, then ye
shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
and ye shall be
remembered before the LORD your God, and ye
shall be saved from
your enemies.
04:010:010 Also in the day of your
gladness, and in your solemn days, and
in the beginnings of
your months, ye shall blow with the
trumpets over your
burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of
your peace offerings;
that they may be to you for a memorial
before your God: I am
the LORD your God.
04:010:011 And it came to pass on
the twentieth day of the second month,
in the second year,
that the cloud was taken up from off the
tabernacle of the
testimony.
04:010:012 And the children of
Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai;
and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
Paran.
04:010:013 And they first took
their journey according to the commandment
of the LORD by the hand
of Moses.
04:010:014 In the first place went
the standard of the camp of the
children of Judah
according to their armies: and over his host
was Nahshon the son of
Amminadab.
04:010:015 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Issachar was
Nethaneel the son of
Zuar.
04:010:016 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Zebulun was
Eliab the son of Helon.
04:010:017 And the tabernacle was
taken down; and the sons of Gershon and
the sons of Merari set
forward, bearing the tabernacle.
04:010:018 And the standard of the
camp of Reuben set forward according
to their armies: and
over his host was Elizur the son of
Shedeur.
04:010:019 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Simeon was
Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai.
04:010:020 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Gad was
Eliasaph the son of
Deuel.
04:010:021 And the Kohathites set
forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
other did set up the
tabernacle against they came.
04:010:022 And the standard of the
camp of the children of Ephraim set
forward according to
their armies: and over his host was
Elishama the son of
Ammihud.
04:010:023 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
Gamaliel the son of
Pedahzur.
04:010:024 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
Abidan the son of
Gideoni.
04:010:025 And the standard of the
camp of the children of Dan set
forward, which was the
rereward of all the camps throughout
their hosts: and over
his host was Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
04:010:026 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Asher was
Pagiel the son of Ocran.
04:010:027 And over the host of
the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
Ahira the son of Enan.
04:010:028 Thus were the
journeyings of the children of Israel according
to their armies, when
they set forward.
04:010:029 And Moses said unto
Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
Moses' father in law,
We are journeying unto the place of
which the LORD said, I
will give it you: come thou with us,
and we will do thee
good: for the LORD hath spoken good
concerning Israel.
04:010:030 And he said unto him, I
will not go; but I will depart to mine
own land, and to my
kindred.
04:010:031 And he said, Leave us
not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou
knowest how we are to
encamp in the wilderness, and thou
mayest be to us instead
of eyes.
04:010:032 And it shall be, if
thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that
what goodness the LORD
shall do unto us, the same will we do
unto thee.
04:010:033 And they departed from
the mount of the LORD three days'
journey: and the ark of
the covenant of the LORD went before
them in the three days'
journey, to search out a resting place
for them.
04:010:034 And the cloud of the
LORD was upon them by day, when they went
out of the camp.
04:010:035 And it came to pass,
when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, LORD,
and let thine enemies be scattered; and
let them that hate thee
flee before thee.
04:010:036 And when it rested, he
said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
04:011:001 And when the people
complained, it displeased the LORD: and
the LORD heard it; and
his anger was kindled; and the fire of
the LORD burnt among
them, and consumed them that were in the
uttermost parts of the
camp.
04:011:002 And the people cried
unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD, the fire was
quenched.
04:011:003 And he called the name
of the place Taberah: because the fire
of the LORD burnt among
them.
04:011:004 And the mixt multitude
that was among them fell a lusting: and
the children of Israel
also wept again, and said, Who shall
give us flesh to eat?
04:011:005 We remember the fish,
which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers, and the
melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
the garlick:
04:011:006 But now our soul is
dried away: there is nothing at all,
beside this manna,
before our eyes.
04:011:007 And the manna was as
coriander seed, and the colour thereof as
the colour of bdellium.
04:011:008 And the people went
about, and gathered it, and ground it in
mills, or beat it in a
mortar, and baked it in pans, and made
cakes of it: and the
taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil.
04:011:009 And when the dew fell
upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
04:011:010 Then Moses heard the
people weep throughout their families,
every man in the door
of his tent: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled greatly;
Moses also was displeased.
04:011:011 And Moses said unto the
LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted
thy servant? and
wherefore have I not found favour in thy
sight, that thou layest
the burden of all this people upon me?
04:011:012 Have I conceived all
this people? have I begotten them, that
thou shouldest say unto
me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
nursing father beareth
the sucking child, unto the land which
thou swarest unto their
fathers?
04:011:013 Whence should I have
flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me,
saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
04:011:014 I am not able to bear
all this people alone, because it is too
heavy for me.
04:011:015 And if thou deal thus
with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of
hand, if I have found
favour in thy sight; and let me not see
my wretchedness.
04:011:016 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of
the elders of Israel,
whom thou knowest to be the elders of
the people, and
officers over them; and bring them unto the
tabernacle of the
congregation, that they may stand there with
thee.
04:011:017 And I will come down
and talk with thee there: and I will take
of the spirit which is
upon thee, and will put it upon them;
and they shall bear the
burden of the people with thee, that
thou bear it not
thyself alone.
04:011:018 And say thou unto the
people, Sanctify yourselves against to
morrow, and ye shall
eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears
of the LORD, saying,
Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it
was well with us in
Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you
flesh, and ye shall
eat.
04:011:019 Ye shall not eat one
day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
ten days, nor twenty
days;
04:011:020 But even a whole month,
until it come out at your nostrils,
and it be loathsome
unto you: because that ye have despised
the LORD which is among
you, and have wept before him, saying,
Why came we forth out
of Egypt?
04:011:021 And Moses said, The
people, among whom I am, are six hundred
thousand footmen; and
thou hast said, I will give them flesh,
that they may eat a
whole month.
04:011:022 Shall the flocks and
the herds be slain for them, to suffice
them? or shall all the
fish of the sea be gathered together
for them, to suffice
them?
04:011:023 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short?
thou shalt see now
whether my word shall come to pass unto
thee or not.
04:011:024 And Moses went out, and
told the people the words of the LORD,
and gathered the
seventy men of the elders of the people, and
set them round about
the tabernacle.
04:011:025 And the LORD came down
in a cloud, and spake unto him, and
took of the spirit that
was upon him, and gave it unto the
seventy elders: and it
came to pass, that, when the spirit
rested upon them, they
prophesied, and did not cease.
04:011:026 But there remained two
of the men in the camp, the name of the
one was Eldad, and the
name of the other Medad: and the spirit
rested upon them; and
they were of them that were written, but
went not out unto the
tabernacle: and they prophesied in the
camp.
04:011:027 And there ran a young
man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad do prophesy in
the camp.
04:011:028 And Joshua the son of
Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his
young men, answered and
said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
04:011:029 And Moses said unto
him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God
that all the LORD's
people were prophets, and that the LORD
would put his spirit
upon them!
04:011:030 And Moses gat him into
the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
04:011:031 And there went forth a
wind from the LORD, and brought quails
from the sea, and let
them fall by the camp, as it were a
day's journey on this
side, and as it were a day's journey on
the other side, round
about the camp, and as it were two
cubits high upon the
face of the earth.
04:011:032 And the people stood up
all that day, and all that night, and
all the next day, and
they gathered the quails: he that
gathered least gathered
ten homers: and they spread them all
abroad for themselves
round about the camp.
04:011:033 And while the flesh was
yet between their teeth, ere it was
chewed, the wrath of
the LORD was kindled against the people,
and the LORD smote the
people with a very great plague.
04:011:034 And he called the name
of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because
there they buried the
people that lusted.
04:011:035 And the people
journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;
and abode at Hazeroth.
04:012:001 And Miriam and Aaron
spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he
had married: for he had married an
Ethiopian woman.
04:012:002 And they said, Hath the
LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath
he not spoken also by
us? And the LORD heard it.
04:012:003 (Now the man Moses was
very meek, above all the men which were
upon the face of the
earth.)
04:012:004 And the LORD spake
suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam, Come out
ye three unto the tabernacle of the
congregation. And they
three came out.
04:012:005 And the LORD came down
in the pillar of the cloud, and stood
in the door of the
tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam:
and they both came
forth.
04:012:006 And he said, Hear now
my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I the LORD will
make myself known unto him in a vision,
and will speak unto him
in a dream.
04:012:007 My servant Moses is not
so, who is faithful in all mine house.
04:012:008 With him will I speak
mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not
in dark speeches; and
the similitude of the LORD shall he
behold: wherefore then
were ye not afraid to speak against my
servant Moses?
04:012:009 And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against them; and he
departed.
04:012:010 And the cloud departed
from off the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became leprous,
white as snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold,
she was leprous.
04:012:011 And Aaron said unto
Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay
not the sin upon us,
wherein we have done foolishly, and
wherein we have sinned.
04:012:012 Let her not be as one
dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
when he cometh out of
his mother's womb.
04:012:013 And Moses cried unto
the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
beseech thee.
04:012:014 And the LORD said unto
Moses, If her father had but spit in
her face, should she
not be ashamed seven days? let her be
shut out from the camp
seven days, and after that let her be
received in again.
04:012:015 And Miriam was shut out
from the camp seven days: and the
people journeyed not
till Miriam was brought in again.
04:012:016 And afterward the
people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in
the wilderness of Paran.
04:013:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:013:002 Send thou men, that
they may search the land of Canaan, which
I give unto the
children of Israel: of every tribe of their
fathers shall ye send a
man, every one a ruler among them.
04:013:003 And Moses by the
commandment of the LORD sent them from the
wilderness of Paran:
all those men were heads of the children
of Israel.
04:013:004 And these were their
names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua
the son of Zaccur.
04:013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon,
Shaphat the son of Hori.
04:013:006 Of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
04:013:007 Of the tribe of
Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
04:013:008 Of the tribe of
Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
04:013:009 Of the tribe of
Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
04:013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun,
Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
04:013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph,
namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gaddi the son of Susi.
04:013:012 Of the tribe of Dan,
Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
04:013:013 Of the tribe of Asher,
Sethur the son of Michael.
04:013:014 Of the tribe of
Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
04:013:015 Of the tribe of Gad,
Geuel the son of Machi.
04:013:016 These are the names of
the men which Moses sent to spy out the
land. And Moses called
Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
04:013:017 And Moses sent them to
spy out the land of Canaan, and said
unto them, Get you up
this way southward, and go up into the
mountain:
04:013:018 And see the land, what
it is, and the people that dwelleth
therein, whether they
be strong or weak, few or many;
04:013:019 And what the land is
that they dwell in, whether it be good or
bad; and what cities
they be that they dwell in, whether in
tents, or in strong
holds;
04:013:020 And what the land is,
whether it be fat or lean, whether there
be wood therein, or
not. And be ye of good courage, and bring
of the fruit of the
land. Now the time was the time of the
firstripe grapes.
04:013:021 So they went up, and
searched the land from the wilderness of
Zin unto Rehob, as men
come to Hamath.
04:013:022 And they ascended by
the south, and came unto Hebron; where
Ahiman, Sheshai, and
Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now
Hebron was built seven
years before Zoan in Egypt.)
04:013:023 And they came unto the
brook of Eshcol, and cut down from
thence a branch with
one cluster of grapes, and they bare it
between two upon a
staff; and they brought of the
pomegranates, and of
the figs.
04:013:024 The place was called
the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster
of grapes which the
children of Israel cut down from thence.
04:013:025 And they returned from
searching of the land after forty days.
04:013:026 And they went and came
to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the wilderness of
Paran, to Kadesh; and
brought back word unto them, and unto
all the congregation,
and shewed them the fruit of the land.
04:013:027 And they told him, and
said, We came unto the land whither
thou sentest us, and
surely it floweth with milk and honey;
and this is the fruit
of it.
04:013:028 Nevertheless the people
be strong that dwell in the land, and
the cities are walled,
and very great: and moreover we saw the
children of Anak there.
04:013:029 The Amalekites dwell in
the land of the south: and the
Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the
mountains: and the
Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the
coast of Jordan.
04:013:030 And Caleb stilled the
people before Moses, and said, Let us go
up at once, and possess
it; for we are well able to overcome
it.
04:013:031 But the men that went
up with him said, We be not able to go
up against the people;
for they are stronger than we.
04:013:032 And they brought up an
evil report of the land which they had
searched unto the
children of Israel, saying, The land,
through which we have
gone to search it, is a land that eateth
up the inhabitants
thereof; and all the people that we saw in
it are men of a great
stature.
04:013:033 And there we saw the
giants, the sons of Anak, which come of
the giants: and we were
in our own sight as grasshoppers, and
so we were in their
sight.
04:014:001 And all the
congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and
the people wept that
night.
04:014:002 And all the children of
Israel murmured against Moses and
against Aaron: and the
whole congregation said unto them,
Would God that we had
died in the land of Egypt! or would God
we had died in this
wilderness!
04:014:003 And wherefore hath the
LORD brought us unto this land, to fall
by the sword, that our
wives and our children should be a
prey? were it not
better for us to return into Egypt?
04:014:004 And they said one to
another, Let us make a captain, and let
us return into Egypt.
04:014:005 Then Moses and Aaron
fell on their faces before all the
assembly of the
congregation of the children of Israel.
04:014:006 And Joshua the son of
Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of them that
searched the land, rent their clothes:
04:014:007 And they spake unto all
the company of the children of Israel,
saying, The land, which
we passed through to search it, is an
exceeding good land.
04:014:008 If the LORD delight in
us, then he will bring us into this
land, and give it us; a
land which floweth with milk and
honey.
04:014:009 Only rebel not ye
against the LORD, neither fear ye the people
of the land; for they
are bread for us: their defence is
departed from them, and
the LORD is with us: fear them not.
04:014:010 But all the
congregation bade stone them with stones. And the
glory of the LORD
appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation before all
the children of Israel.
04:014:011 And the LORD said unto
Moses, How long will this people
provoke me? and how
long will it be ere they believe me, for
all the signs which I
have shewed among them?
04:014:012 I will smite them with
the pestilence, and disinherit them,
and will make of thee a
greater nation and mightier than they.
04:014:013 And Moses said unto the
LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
it, (for thou
broughtest up this people in thy might from
among them;)
04:014:014 And they will tell it
to the inhabitants of this land: for
they have heard that
thou LORD art among this people, that
thou LORD art seen face
to face, and that thy cloud standeth
over them, and that
thou goest before them, by day time in a
pillar of a cloud, and
in a pillar of fire by night.
04:014:015 Now if thou shalt kill
all this people as one man, then the
nations which have
heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
04:014:016 Because the LORD was
not able to bring this people into the
land which he sware
unto them, therefore he hath slain them in
the wilderness.
04:014:017 And now, I beseech
thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
according as thou hast
spoken, saying,
04:014:018 The LORD is
longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving
iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing the
guilty, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and
fourth generation.
04:014:019 Pardon, I beseech thee,
the iniquity of this people according
unto the greatness of
thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven
this people, from Egypt
even until now.
04:014:020 And the LORD said, I
have pardoned according to thy word:
04:014:021 But as truly as I live,
all the earth shall be filled with the
glory of the LORD.
04:014:022 Because all those men
which have seen my glory, and my
miracles, which I did
in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have
tempted me now these
ten times, and have not hearkened to my
voice;
04:014:023 Surely they shall not
see the land which I sware unto their
fathers, neither shall
any of them that provoked me see it:
04:014:024 But my servant Caleb,
because he had another spirit with him,
and hath followed me
fully, him will I bring into the land
whereinto he went; and
his seed shall possess it.
04:014:025 (Now the Amalekites and
the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)
Tomorrow turn you, and
get you into the wilderness by the way
of the Red sea.
04:014:026 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:014:027 How long shall I bear
with this evil congregation, which
murmur against me? I
have heard the murmurings of the children
of Israel, which they
murmur against me.
04:014:028 Say unto them, As truly
as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have
spoken in mine ears, so
will I do to you:
04:014:029 Your carcases shall
fall in this wilderness; and all that were
numbered of you,
according to your whole number, from twenty
years old and upward
which have murmured against me.
04:014:030 Doubtless ye shall not
come into the land, concerning which I
sware to make you dwell
therein, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of Nun.
04:014:031 But your little ones,
which ye said should be a prey, them
will I bring in, and
they shall know the land which ye have
despised.
04:014:032 But as for you, your
carcases, they shall fall in this
wilderness.
04:014:033 And your children shall
wander in the wilderness forty years,
and bear your whoredoms,
until your carcases be wasted in the
wilderness.
04:014:034 After the number of the
days in which ye searched the land,
even forty days, each
day for a year, shall ye bear your
iniquities, even forty
years, and ye shall know my breach of
promise.
04:014:035 I the LORD have said, I
will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are
gathered together against me: in this
wilderness they shall
be consumed, and there they shall die.
04:014:036 And the men, which
Moses sent to search the land, who
returned, and made all
the congregation to murmur against him,
by bringing up a
slander upon the land,
04:014:037 Even those men that did
bring up the evil report upon the
land, died by the
plague before the LORD.
04:014:038 But Joshua the son of
Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of the men
that went to search the land, lived
still.
04:014:039 And Moses told these
sayings unto all the children of Israel:
and the people mourned
greatly.
04:014:040 And they rose up early
in the morning, and gat them up into
the top of the
mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go
up unto the place which
the LORD hath promised: for we have
sinned.
04:014:041 And Moses said,
Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment
of the LORD? but it
shall not prosper.
04:014:042 Go not up, for the LORD
is not among you; that ye be not
smitten before your
enemies.
04:014:043 For the Amalekites and
the Canaanites are there before you,
and ye shall fall by
the sword: because ye are turned away
from the LORD,
therefore the LORD will not be with you.
04:014:044 But they presumed to go
up unto the hill top: nevertheless the
ark of the covenant of
the LORD, and Moses, departed not out
of the camp.
04:014:045 Then the Amalekites
came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt
in that hill, and smote
them, and discomfited them, even unto
Hormah.
04:015:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:015:002 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
be come into the land
of your habitations, which I give unto
you,
04:015:003 And will make an
offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, or a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill
offering, or in your
solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour
unto the LORD, of the
herd or of the flock:
04:015:004 Then shall he that
offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a
meat offering of a
tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
part of an hin of oil.
04:015:005 And the fourth part of
an hin of wine for a drink offering
shalt thou prepare with
the burnt offering or sacrifice, for
one lamb.
04:015:006 Or for a ram, thou
shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth
deals of flour mingled
with the third part of an hin of oil.
04:015:007 And for a drink
offering thou shalt offer the third part of an
hin of wine, for a
sweet savour unto the LORD.
04:015:008 And when thou preparest
a bullock for a burnt offering, or for
a sacrifice in
performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the
LORD:
04:015:009 Then shall he bring
with a bullock a meat offering of three
tenth deals of flour
mingled with half an hin of oil.
04:015:010 And thou shalt bring
for a drink offering half an hin of wine,
for an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
04:015:011 Thus shall it be done
for one bullock, or for one ram, or for
a lamb, or a kid.
04:015:012 According to the number
that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do
to every one according
to their number.
04:015:013 All that are born of
the country shall do these things after
this manner, in
offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the LORD.
04:015:014 And if a stranger
sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you
in your generations,
and will offer an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savour unto
the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
04:015:015 One ordinance shall be
both for you of the congregation, and
also for the stranger
that sojourneth with you, an ordinance
for ever in your
generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger
be before the LORD.
04:015:016 One law and one manner
shall be for you, and for the stranger
that sojourneth with
you.
04:015:017 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:015:018 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
come into the land
whither I bring you,
04:015:019 Then it shall be, that,
when ye eat of the bread of the land,
ye shall offer up an
heave offering unto the LORD.
04:015:020 Ye shall offer up a
cake of the first of your dough for an
heave offering: as ye
do the heave offering of the
threshingfloor, so
shall ye heave it.
04:015:021 Of the first of your
dough ye shall give unto the LORD an
heave offering in your
generations.
04:015:022 And if ye have erred,
and not observed all these commandments,
which the LORD hath
spoken unto Moses,
04:015:023 Even all that the LORD
hath commanded you by the hand of
Moses, from the day
that the LORD commanded Moses, and
henceforward among your
generations;
04:015:024 Then it shall be, if
ought be committed by ignorance without
the knowledge of the
congregation, that all the congregation
shall offer one young
bullock for a burnt offering, for a
sweet savour unto the
LORD, with his meat offering, and his
drink offering,
according to the manner, and one kid of the
goats for a sin
offering.
04:015:025 And the priest shall
make an atonement for all the
congregation of the
children of Israel, and it shall be
forgiven them; for it
is ignorance: and they shall bring their
offering, a sacrifice
made by fire unto the LORD, and their
sin offering before the
LORD, for their ignorance:
04:015:026 And it shall be
forgiven all the congregation of the children
of Israel, and the
stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing
all the people were in
ignorance.
04:015:027 And if any soul sin
through ignorance, then he shall bring a
she goat of the first
year for a sin offering.
04:015:028 And the priest shall
make an atonement for the soul that
sinneth ignorantly,
when he sinneth by ignorance before the
LORD, to make an
atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven
him.
04:015:029 Ye shall have one law
for him that sinneth through ignorance,
both for him that is
born among the children of Israel, and
for the stranger that
sojourneth among them.
04:015:030 But the soul that doeth
ought presumptuously, whether he be
born in the land, or a
stranger, the same reproacheth the
LORD; and that soul
shall be cut off from among his people.
04:015:031 Because he hath
despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken
his commandment, that
soul shall utterly be cut off; his
iniquity shall be upon
him.
04:015:032 And while the children
of Israel were in the wilderness, they
found a man that
gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
04:015:033 And they that found him
gathering sticks brought him unto
Moses and Aaron, and
unto all the congregation.
04:015:034 And they put him in
ward, because it was not declared what
should be done to him.
04:015:035 And the LORD said unto
Moses, The man shall be surely put to
death: all the
congregation shall stone him with stones
without the camp.
04:015:036 And all the
congregation brought him without the camp, and
stoned him with stones,
and he died; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
04:015:037 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:015:038 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and bid them that they make
them fringes in the
borders of their garments throughout their
generations, and that
they put upon the fringe of the borders
a ribband of blue:
04:015:039 And it shall be unto
you for a fringe, that ye may look upon
it, and remember all
the commandments of the LORD, and do
them; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own
eyes, after which ye
use to go a whoring:
04:015:040 That ye may remember,
and do all my commandments, and be holy
unto your God.
04:015:041 I am the LORD your God,
which brought you out of the land of
Egypt, to be your God:
I am the LORD your God.
04:016:001 Now Korah, the son of
Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
Levi, and Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the
son of Peleth, sons of
Reuben, took men:
04:016:002 And they rose up before
Moses, with certain of the children of
Israel, two hundred and
fifty princes of the assembly, famous
in the congregation,
men of renown:
04:016:003 And they gathered
themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said
unto them, Ye take too much upon you,
seeing all the
congregation are holy, every one of them, and
the LORD is among them:
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves
above the congregation
of the LORD?
04:016:004 And when Moses heard
it, he fell upon his face:
04:016:005 And he spake unto Korah
and unto all his company, saying, Even
to morrow the LORD will
shew who are his, and who is holy; and
will cause him to come
near unto him: even him whom he hath
chosen will he cause to
come near unto him.
04:016:006 This do; Take you
censers, Korah, and all his company;
04:016:007 And put fire therein,
and put incense in them before the LORD
to morrow: and it shall
be that the man whom the LORD doth
choose, he shall be
holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons
of Levi.
04:016:008 And Moses said unto
Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
04:016:009 Seemeth it but a small
thing unto you, that the God of Israel
hath separated you from
the congregation of Israel, to bring
you near to himself to
do the service of the tabernacle of the
LORD, and to stand
before the congregation to minister unto
them?
04:016:010 And he hath brought
thee near to him, and all thy brethren the
sons of Levi with thee:
and seek ye the priesthood also?
04:016:011 For which cause both
thou and all thy company are gathered
together against the
LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur
against him?
04:016:012 And Moses sent to call
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab:
which said, We will not
come up:
04:016:013 Is it a small thing
that thou hast brought us up out of a land
that floweth with milk
and honey, to kill us in the
wilderness, except thou
make thyself altogether a prince over
us?
04:016:014 Moreover thou hast not
brought us into a land that floweth
with milk and honey, or
given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards: wilt thou
put out the eyes of these men? we will
not come up.
04:016:015 And Moses was very
wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not
thou their offering: I
have not taken one ass from them,
neither have I hurt one
of them.
04:016:016 And Moses said unto
Korah, Be thou and all thy company before
the LORD, thou, and
they, and Aaron, to morrow:
04:016:017 And take every man his
censer, and put incense in them, and
bring ye before the
LORD every man his censer, two hundred and
fifty censers; thou
also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
04:016:018 And they took every man
his censer, and put fire in them, and
laid incense thereon,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation
with Moses and Aaron.
04:016:019 And Korah gathered all
the congregation against them unto the
door of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and the glory of
the LORD appeared unto
all the congregation.
04:016:020 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:016:021 Separate yourselves
from among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a
moment.
04:016:022 And they fell upon
their faces, and said, O God, the God of
the spirits of all
flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the
congregation?
04:016:023 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
04:016:024 Speak unto the
congregation, saying, Get you up from about the
tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram.
04:016:025 And Moses rose up and
went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel
followed him.
04:016:026 And he spake unto the
congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of
their's, lest ye be
consumed in all their sins.
04:016:027 So they gat up from the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram, on every side:
and Dathan and Abiram came out, and
stood in the door of
their tents, and their wives, and their
sons, and their little
children.
04:016:028 And Moses said, Hereby
ye shall know that the LORD hath sent
me to do all these
works; for I have not done them of mine own
mind.
04:016:029 If these men die the
common death of all men, or if they be
visited after the
visitation of all men; then the LORD hath
not sent me.
04:016:030 But if the LORD make a
new thing, and the earth open her
mouth, and swallow them
|
