they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month,
and they declared their lineages after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their

1:47
But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not

1:48
For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
1:49
Only you shall not number the tribe of Levi, neither take
the sum of them among the children of Israel:
1:50
But you shall 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 camp round about the tabernacle.
1:51
And when the tabernacle sets 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 comes nigh shall be put to death.
1:52
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.
1:53 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.
1:54
And the children of Israel did according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
2:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2:2 Every
man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the explicit
sign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation
shall they pitch.
2:3 And
on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the

2:8 And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand

2:9 All

2:11 And
his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and
five hundred.
2:12 And
those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the

2:13
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
2:14
Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad
shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
2:15
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
2:16
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.
2:17
Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward
with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they camp, so shall
they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
2:18
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.
2:19
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
forty thousand and five hundred.
2:20
And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain
of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
2:21
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

of Ammishaddai.
2:26 And

and seven hundred.
2:27
And those that camp by him shall be the tribe of Asher:
and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
2:28 And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and
five hundred.
2:29 Then
the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira
the son of Enan.
2:30 And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand
and four hundred.
2:31
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.
2:32
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.
2:33 But
the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
2:34 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.
3:1
These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the
day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
3:2
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the
firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3:3
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which
were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
3:4 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.
3:5 And the
LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
3:6
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister unto him.
3:7
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.
3:8 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.
3:9 And you
shall give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto
him out of the children of Israel.
3:10
And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall
wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to
death.
3:11 And
the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
3:12
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children
of Israel instead of all the firstborn that opens the womb among the children
of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that
I stroke 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.
3:14
And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
saying,
3:15 Number
the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every
male from a month old and upward shall you number them.
3:16
And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD,
as he was commanded.
3:17
And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon,
and Kohath, and Merari.
3:18
And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their
families; Libni, and Shimei.
3:19
And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
Hebron, and Uzziel.
3:20
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.
3:21 Of
Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these
are the families of the Gershonites.
3:22
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.
3:23
The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle
westward.
3:24 And
the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the
son of Lael.
3:25 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,
3:26
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.
3:27
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.
3:28
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.
3:29 The
families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
3:30 And
the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be
Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
3:31
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.
3:32
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.
3:33
Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family
of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
3:34
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.
3:35 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.
3:36 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 serves thereto,
3:37
And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,
and their pins, and their cords.
3:38
But those that camp 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 comes nigh shall be put to death.
3:39
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.
3:40
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.
3:41
And you shall 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.
3:42 And
Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children
of Israel.
3:43 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.
3:44
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
3:45
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.
3:46
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;
3:47
You shall even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after
the shekel of the sanctuary shall you take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
3:48 And
you shall give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed,
unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49
And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over
and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
3:50
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:
3:51 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.
4:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:2 Take
the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families,
by the house of their fathers,
4:3
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.
4:4 This
shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation,
about the most holy things:
4:5
And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his
sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony
with it:
4:6 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.
4:7
And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth
of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers
to cover likewise: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8
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.
4:9 And
they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his
lamps, and his tongs, and his intruments for snuffings, and all the oil vessels
thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
4:10
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within
a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
4:11
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:
4:12 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:
4:13
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread
a purple cloth thereon:
4:14
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith
they minister about it, even the censers, the forks, 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.
4:15
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.
4:16
And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertains the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily food 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.
4:17
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
4:18 Cut
all of you not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the
Levites:
4:19 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:
4:20
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
covered, lest they die.
4:21
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
4:22
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
houses of their fathers, by their families;
4:23
From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall
you number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:24
This is the service of the families of the Gershonites,
to serve, and for burdens:
4:25
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,
4:26
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.
4:27
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 all of you shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
4:28 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.
4:29 As
for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house
of their fathers;
4:30
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old
shall you number them, every one that enters into the service, to do the work
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:31
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,
4:32
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 all of you shall reckon the instruments of the charge of
their burden.
4:33 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.
4:34 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,
4:35
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation:
4:36 And
those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred
and fifty.
4:37 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.
4:38
And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout
their families, and by the house of their fathers,
4:39
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
4:40 Even
those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their
fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
4:41
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.
4:42 And
those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their
families, by the house of their fathers,
4:43
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
4:44 Even
those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and
two hundred.
4:45 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.
4:46 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,
4:47 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.
4:48
Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand
and five hundred and fourscore,
4:49
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.
5:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:2
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the
camp every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whosoever is defiled by
the dead:
5:3 Both
male and female shall all of you put out, without the camp shall all of you put
them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the
children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke
unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:6
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;
5:7 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 has trespassed.
5:8
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.
5:9 And every
offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto
the priest, shall be his.
5:10
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever
any man gives the priest, it shall be his.
5:11
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:12
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If
any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
5:13
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;
5:14
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:
5:15
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.
5:16 And
the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
5:17
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:
5:18
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 causes the curse:
5:19
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto
the woman, If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that
causes the curse:
5:20
But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband,
and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside yours husband:
5:21 Then
the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall
say unto the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when
the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell;
5:22
And this water that causes the curse shall go into your
bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall
say, Amen, amen.
5:23 And
the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with
the bitter water:
5:24
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and
become bitter.
5:25 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:
5:26
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.
5:27
And when he has 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 causes 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.
5:28
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she
shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to
another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30
Or when the spirit of jealousy comes 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.
5:31
Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this
woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
6:2
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:
6:3
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.
6:4
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that
is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
6:5
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 separates
himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of
his head grow.
6:6 All
the days that he separates himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
6:7 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.
6:8 All
the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
6:9
And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he has 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.
6:10
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:
6:11 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.
6:12
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.
6:13
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:
6:14
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,
6:15 And
a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers
of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their food offering, and their drink
offerings.
6:16 And
the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering,
and his burnt offering:
6:17
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 food offering, and his drink offering.
6:18
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.
6:19
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:
6:20 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.
6:21 This
is the law of the Nazarite who has 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.
6:22
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
6:23
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Likewise all
of you shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
6:24
The LORD bless you, and keep you:
6:25
The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto
you:
6:26 The
LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
6:27
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel,
and I will bless them.
7:1
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;
7:2 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:
7:3
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.
7:4
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
7:5
Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall give them unto the Levites, to every
man according to his service.
7:6
And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto
the Levites.
7:7 Two
wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
7:8 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.
7:9
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.
7:10 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.
7:11
And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

7:89 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 spoke unto
him.
8:1 And
the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
8:2
Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light opposite to the candlestick.
8:3
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof opposite
to the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:4
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 showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
8:6
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
8:7 And
thus shall you 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.
8:8
Then let them take a young bullock with his food offering,
even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shall you take for
a sin offering.
8:9 And
you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and you
shall gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
8:10
And you shall bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
8:11
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.
8:12 And
the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and you shall
offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the
LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
8:13
And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
8:14
Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them
for an offering.
8:16 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.
8:17
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine,
both man and beast: on the day that I stroke every firstborn in the land of Egypt
I sanctified them for myself.
8:18
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the
children of Israel.
8:19
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.
8:20
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.
8:21
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.
8:22
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.
8:23
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
8:24
This is it that belongs 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:
8:25
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting
upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
8:26
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle
of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you
do unto the Levites concerning their charge.
9:1
And the LORD spoke 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,
9:2 Let
the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
9:3 In the
fourteenth day of this month, at even, all of you shall keep it in his appointed
season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies
thereof, shall all of you keep it.
9:4
And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover.
9:5
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.
9:6
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:
9:7
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?
9:8
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what
the LORD will command concerning you.
9:9
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
9:10
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 far off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
9:11
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall
keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12
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.
9:13 But
the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbears 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.
9:14 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: all of you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and
for him that was born in the land.
9:15
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.
9:16 So it
was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
9:17 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.
9:18
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.
9:19
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.
9:20 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.
9:21
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.
9:22
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.
9:23 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.
10:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
10:2
Make you two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall
you make them: that you may use them for the calling of the assembly, and for
the journeying of the camps.
10:3
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10:4 And
if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands
of Israel, shall gather themselves unto you.
10:5
When all of you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on
the east parts shall go forward.
10:6
When all of you 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.
10:7
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, all
of you shall blow, but all of you shall not sound an alarm.
10:8
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.
10:9 And
if all of you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then
all of you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and all of you shall be remembered
before the LORD your God, and all of you shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 Also
in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of
your months, all of you 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.
10:11
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.
10:12 And
the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and
the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13
And they first took their journey according to the commandment
of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:14
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.
10:15
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
was Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon
and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18
And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according
to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was
Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21
And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and
the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22
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.
10:23 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of
Pedahzur.
10:24 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And
the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rear
guard of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the
son of Ammishaddai.
10:26
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
10:27
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
was Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28
Thus were the journeys of the children of Israel according
to their armies, when they set forward.
10:29
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 you with us, and we will do you good: for the LORD has
spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30
And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to
mine own land, and to my kindred.
10:31
And he said, Leave us not, I pray you; forasmuch as you
know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you may be to us instead of eyes.
10:32 And
it shall be, if you go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD
shall do unto us, the same will we do unto you.
10:33
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.
10:34
And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they
went out of the camp.
10:35
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, LORD, and let yours enemies be scattered; and let them that hate
you flee before you.
10:36
And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
11:1
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.
11:2 And
the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was
quenched.
11:3 And
he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among
them.
11:4 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?
11:5
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:
11:6 But
now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before
our eyes.
11:7 And
the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
11:8 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.
11:9
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
11:10 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.
11:11 And
Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore have you afflicted your servant? and wherefore
have I not found favour in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people
upon me?
11:12 Have
I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that you should say unto me,
Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father bears the nursing infant, unto the
land which you sware unto their fathers?
11:13
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?
for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it
is too heavy for me.
11:15
And if you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray you, instantly,
if I have found favour in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16 And
the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel,
whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring
them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with you.
11:17 And
I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the spirit which
is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the
people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.
11:18
And say you unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against
tomorrow, and all of you shall eat flesh: for all of you 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 all of you shall eat.
11:19 All
of you shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor
twenty days;
11:20 But
even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto
you: because that all of you have despised the LORD which is among you, and have
wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred
thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat
a whole month.
11:22 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?
11:23
And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short?
you shall see now whether my word shall come to pass unto you or not.
11:24 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.
11:25 And
the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke 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.
11:26 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.
11:27 And
there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in
the camp.
11:28 And
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and
said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29
And Moses said unto him, Envy you for my sake? would God
that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit
upon them!
11:30 And
Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31
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.
11:32
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.
11:33 And
while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of
the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD stroke the people with a
very great plague.
11:34
And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because
there they buried the people that lusted.
11:35
And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;
and abode at Hazeroth.
12:1
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And
they said, Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? has he not spoken also by
us? And the LORD heard it.
12:3
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which
were upon the face of the earth.)
12:4
And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron,
and unto Miriam, Come out all of you three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And they three came out.
12:5
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.
12:6 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.
12:7 My servant
Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
12:8
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and
not in dark speeches; and the embodiment of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore
then were all of you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and
he departed.
12:10 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.
12:11 And
Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I plead to you, lay not the sin upon us,
wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12:12
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
when he comes out of his mother's womb.
12:13
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God,
I plead to you.
12:14 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.
12:15
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the
people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched
in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
13:2
Send you men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which
I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall all
of you send a man, every one a ruler among them.
13:3
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.
13:4 And
these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
13:5 Of the
tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7 Of the
tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10 Of
the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,
Gaddi the son of Susi.
13:12
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13 Of
the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15 Of
the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out
the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17
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:
13:18 And
see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells therein, whether they be
strong or weak, few or many;
13:19
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;
13:20 And
what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or
not. And be all of you of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now
the time was the time of the first-fruits grapes.
13:21
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness
of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22
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.)
13:23
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.
13:24
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster
of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25
And they returned from searching of the land after forty
days.
13:26 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 showed them the fruit of the
land.
13:27 And
they told him, and said, We came unto the land where you sent us, and surely it
flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
13:28
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.
13:29 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.
13:30
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.
13:31 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.
13:32
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 eats up the inhabitants thereof; and all the
people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
13:33
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.
14:1 And
all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that
night.
14:2 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!
14:3
And wherefore has 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?
14:4
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and
let us return into Egypt.
14:5
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the
assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7
And they spoke unto all the company of the children of Israel,
saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
14:8 If
the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us;
a land which flows with milk and honey.
14:9
Only rebel not all of you against the LORD, neither fear
all of you 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.
14:10
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.
14:11
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs
which I have showed among them?
14:12
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them,
and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them;)
14:14
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for
they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face
to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by
day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the
nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
14:16
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into
the land which he swore unto them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
14:17 And
now, I plead to you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have
spoken, saying,
14:18 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.
14:19
Pardon, I plead to you, the iniquity of this people according
unto the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt
even until now.
14:20 And
the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
14:21
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with
the glory of the LORD.
14:22
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;
14:23
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their
fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
14:24
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with
him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went;
and his seed shall possess it.
14:25
(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.
14:26 And
the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27
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.
14:28
Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as all
of you have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29
Your carcasses 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.
14:30
Doubtless all of you shall not come into the land, concerning
which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31
But your little ones, which all of you said should be a
prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which all of you have
despised.
14:32 But
as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years,
and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
14:34 After
the number of the days in which all of you searched the land, even forty days,
each day for a year, shall all of you bear your iniquities, even forty years,
and all of you shall know my breach of promise.
14:35
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.
14:36
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,
14:37 Even
those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague
before the LORD.
14:38
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.
14:39
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel:
and the people mourned greatly.
14:40
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into
the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place
which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
14:41
And Moses said, Wherefore now do all of you transgress the
commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
14:42
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that all of you
be not smitten before your enemies.
14:43
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you,
and all of you shall fall by the sword: because all of you are turned away from
the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
14:44
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.
14:45 Then
the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and stroke
them, and humiliated them, even unto Hormah.
15:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
15:2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
all of you be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
15:3 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:
