"1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 Take the census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; 3 From twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go forth to war in Israel; you and Aaron your brother shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one the head of the house of his fathers. 5 And these are the names of the men who shall help you: of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur. 6 Of Simeon, Shelmuiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 Of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 8 Of Issachar, Nethanael the son of Zuar. 9 Of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon. 10 Of the sons of Joseph, of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Perzur. 11 Of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni. 12 Of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 13 Of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran. 14 Of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 Of Naphtali, Ahida the son of Enan. 16 These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands of the army of Israel."

"17 ¶ And Moses and Aaron took these men who were chosen by their names; 18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they were numbered after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of their names from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. 19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20 And the children of Reuben, Israel’s first-born, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 21 The number of the tribe of Reuben was forty-six thousand and five hundred. 22 Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 23 The number of the tribe of Simeon was fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. 24 Of the children of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 25 The number of the tribe of Gad was forty-five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 26 Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 27 The number of the tribe of Judah was seventy-four thousand and six hundred. 28 Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 29 The number of the tribe of Issachar was fifty-four thousand and four hundred. 30 Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 31 The number of the tribe of Zebulun was fifty-seven thousand and four hundred. 32 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 33 The number of the tribe of Ephraim was forty thousand and five hundred. 34 Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 35 The number of the tribe of Manasseh was thirty-two thousand and two hundred. 36 Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 37 The number of the tribe of Benjamin was thirty-five thousand and four hundred. 38 Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 39 The number of the tribe of Dan was sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. 40 Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 41 The number of the tribe of Asher was forty-one thousand and five hundred. 42 Of the children of Naphtali, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 43 The number of the tribe of Naphtali was fifty-three thousand and four hundred."

"44 ¶ These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men; each one was from the house of his fathers. 45 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel; 46 The total number of the children of Israel was six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty."

"47 ¶ ¶But the Levites and the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 48 Because the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying, 49 You shall not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel; 50 But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony and over all its vessels and over all that belongs to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its vessels; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle shall set forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 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. 53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath against the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony. 54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they."

"2:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall encamp by his own standard, at the places of their father’s house; far off round about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they encamp."

"3 ¶ Those who encamp first toward the east shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah throughout their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be chief of the children of Judah. 4 And the number of his host was seventy-four thousand and six hundred. 5 And those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and Nethanael the son of Zuar shall be chief of the children of Issachar. 6 And the number of his host was fifty-four thousand and four hundred. 7 Then shall encamp the tribe of Zebulun; and Eliab the son of Helen shall be chief of the children of Zebulun. 8 And the number of his host was fifty-seven thousand and four hundred. 9 The total number of the camp of Judah was one hundred and eighty-six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march first. 10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 And the number of his host was forty-six thousand and five hundred. 12 And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the chief of the children of Simeon shall be Shelmuiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And the number of his host was fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. 14 Then shall encamp the tribe of Gad; and the chief of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 And the number of his host was forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16 The total number of the camp of Reuben was one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. They shall march in the second place. 17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall march with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamped so shall they march, every man by his standard throughout their armies. 18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And the number of his host was forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the chief of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Perzur. 21 And the number of his host was thirty-two thousand and two hundred. 22 Then shall encamp the tribe of Benjamin; and the chief of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And the number of his host was thirty-five thousand and four hundred. 24 The total number of the camp of Ephraim was an hundred and eight thousand and one hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march in the third place. 25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies; and the chief of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And the number of his host was sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the chief of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. 28 And the number of his host was forty-one thousand and five hundred. 29 Then shall encamp the tribe of Naphtali; and the chief of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahida the son of Enan. 30 And the number of his host was fifty-three thousand and four hundred. 31 The total number of the camp of Dan was a hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred. They shall march last with their standards. 32 These are the numbers of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers; all those who were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites and the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they marched by their standards, and so they encamped, every man in his camp, according to the house of his fathers."

"3:1 ¶ THESE are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses on mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, his first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron the priest, who were anointed and consecrated to minister in the priest’s office. 4 But 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 during the lifetime of Aaron their father. 5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him. 7 And they shall keep his charge and the charge of the whole congregation in the presence of the LORD before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 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. 9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given to him as a gift out of the children of Israel. 10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death. 11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 Behold I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the first-born that open the womb among the children of Israel; therefore the Levites shall be mine; 13 Because all the first-born are mine; for on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast; they shall be mine; I am the LORD."

"14 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a month old and upward, you shall number them. 16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded. 17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari. 18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei. 19 And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahali and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers. 21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimites; these are the families of the Gershonites. 22 Their number, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward was seven thousand and five hundred. 23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward. 24 And the chief of the house of the fathers of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Eliab. 25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle and the tent, its covering and the curtains for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 26 And the curtains of the court and the covering for the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and the cords of it, and all the instruments thereof. 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. 28 Their number according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, was eight thousand and six hundred, looking after the sanctuary. 29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle southward. 30 And the chief of the house of the fathers of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizphan the son of Uzziel. 31 And their charge shall be the ark and the table and the candlestick and the altars and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister and the curtain of the door and all the service thereof. 32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the chief over the chiefs of the Levites and have the oversight over those who have charge of the sanctuary. 33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites; these are the families of Merari. 34 Their number according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, was six thousand and two hundred. 35 And the chief of the house of the fathers of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail; they shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle northward. 36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle and its bars and its pillars and its sockets and all the vessels thereof and all that pertains to it 37 And the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords. 38 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 in addition to the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand."

"40 ¶ And the LORD said to Moses, Number all the first-born of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 41 And you shall present the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel, 43 And all the first-born males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, and their number was twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three. 44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 45 Present the Levites instead of all the first-born 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. 46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the first-born of the children of Israel, that are above the number of the Levites, 47 You shall take five shekels apiece by the poll, by the shekel of the sanctuary shall you take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs). 48 And you shall give the money wherewith the excess number of them is to be redeemed to Aaron and to his sons. 49 So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites; 50 From the first-born of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary: 51 And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses."

"4:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers, 3 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, all who can enter into the host to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation concerning the most holy things; 5 And when the camp marches forward, Aaron and his sons shall come in, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of testimony with it, 6 And shall put on it the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in the poles thereof. 7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put upon it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, the flagons for drink offering; and the continual shewbread shall be on it; 8 And they shall spread thereon a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put in the poles thereof. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light and its lamps and its tongs and its snuffdishes and all the oil vessels thereof with which they minister to it; 10 And they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put it upon its poles. 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 it upon its poles; 12 And they shall take all the vessels of the 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 poles; 13 And they shall take apart the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it; 14 And they shall put with it all the vessels thereof, with which they minister upon it, the censers, the meathooks and the shovels and the basins and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put in its poles. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to march after that, the sons of Kohath shall come in to bear it, that they may not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are to be borne by the sons of Kohath in the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertains the charge of the oil for the light and the sweet incense and the daily meal offering and the anointing oil and the oversight of all the tabernacle and of all the things that are in it and of the sanctuary and its vessels. 17 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 18 You shall not destroy the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 19 But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they enter into the most holy place; Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden; 20 But they shall not go in to observe when the holy things are covered, lest they die."

"21 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families: 23 From thirty years old and up until fifty years old you shall number them; all who are able-bodied to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and to bear burdens; 25 They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation itself, the veil of the door thereof, and the covering of the badgers’ skins that is upon it, and the hangings of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the entrance of the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and the cords thereof, and all the instruments of their service, and all that they do and serve. 27 At the command of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of Gershon, in all their burdens and in all their service; and you shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens. 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. 29 As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers; 30 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old you shall number them, every able man, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 31 And this is the charge of their burden, and of all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, its bars and its pillars and its sockets 32 And the pillars of the court round about and their sockets, their pins and their cords, with all their instruments and with all their service; and by name you shall count the instruments included in their burden. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, and all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

"34 ¶ And Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, by the house of their fathers, 35 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, every able man, for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation; 36 And their number by their families was two thousand and seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were the numbers of the families of Kohath, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses. 38 And the number of the sons of Gershon by their families, and by the house of their fathers, 39 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, every able man, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 40 And their number by their families and by the house of their fathers was two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41 These were the numbers of the family of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD. 42 And the number of the families of the sons of Merari by their families, by the house of their fathers, 43 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, every able man, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44 And their number by their families was three thousand and two hundred. 45 These are the numbers of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 46 All those who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of Israel numbered, after their families and by the house of their fathers, 47 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, all able men, to do the service of the ministry and the work of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation, 48 Their number was eight thousand and five hundred and eighty. 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 they were numbered as the LORD commanded Moses."

"5:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and every one who has a discharge and whosoever has defiled himself; 3 Both male and female shall you put outside the camp, that they may not defile your camps, for I dwell among you. 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the LORD had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel. 5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Say to the children of Israel, When a man or a woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do wrong in the sight of the LORD, and that person shall be guilty, 7 Then he shall confess his sins which he has committed; and his guilt shall return upon his own head; and he shall add a fifth part thereof, and give it to him whom he had wronged. 8 And if the person has no kinsman to whom to recompense the trespass, let the trespass offering which they bring on his behalf before the LORD be given to the priest in addition to the ram of the atonement with which an atonement is made for him. 9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel which they bring to the priest shall be his. 10 And every man’s hallowed things shall be his; and whatever any man gives to the priest, shall be his."

"11 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, If any man’s wife does wrong, and commits a trespass against him, 13 And a man lies with her carnally and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and the act is kept secret and she is defiled and there is no witness against her, neither is she caught in the act, 14 And the temper of jealousy comes upon him and he be jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the temper of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife and she is not defiled, 15 Then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring as his offering a tenth part of an ephah of barley flour; and he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense upon it; for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering for a memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and she shall stand before the LORD; 17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and some of the dust that is in the base of the altar of the tabernacle the priest shall take and put it into the water; 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD and shave 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 of testing; 19 And the priest shall charge the woman by an oath, and say to her, If no man has lain with you besides your husband, and if you have not done wrong and become unclean, be absolved from these charges by this bitter water of testing; 20 But if you have done wrong by having lain with another man besides your husband, and if you have defiled yourself, and some other man has lain with you besides your husband; 21 Then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oaths of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh to rot and your belly to swell; 22 And this water of testing shall go into your belly and make your belly to swell and your thighs to rot; and the woman shall say, Amen, amen. 23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot out the writing in the water of testing; 24 And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water of testing; and the water of testing shall enter into her, to try her. 25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy meal offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar; 26 And the priest shall take some of the meal offering as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and has committed iniquity against her husband, the water of testing shall enter into her, and shall try her, and if her belly shall swell and her thighs shall rot, then that woman shall be a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself, but is pure, then she shall be absolved, and shall bear a male child. 29 This is the law of jealousy when a woman does wrong by having lain with another man besides her husband and defiles herself, 30 Or when the temper of jealousy comes upon a man and he is jealous over his wife and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law; 31 Then the man shall be blameless from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity."

"6:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When a man or woman shall separate himself to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate himself to the LORD, 3 He shall abstain from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, or eat grapes or raisins; 4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the skins even to the stones of raisins. 5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not come near a dead body. 7 He shall not defile himself for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister when they die; because the crown of consecration of his God is upon his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD. 9 And if any man dies very suddenly by him, he has defiled the crown of his separation; then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; 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 the sin that he sinned by the dead body; and shall sanctify his head that same day. 12 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and he shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering; but the previous days of his separation shall be void, because his separation was defiled. 13 This is the law of the Nazarite when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 14 And he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering and one ewe lamb without blemish for a sin offering and one ram without blemish for a peace offering 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil and wafers of unleavened bread mixed with oil and their meal offering and their drink offering. 16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering: 17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also his meal offering and his drink offering. 18 And the Nazarite shall shave his head as a sign 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 offering. 19 And the priest shall take the cooked shoulder of the ram and one unleavened cake from the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them in the hands of the Nazarite after he has shaved his hair as a sign of his separation; 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 the shoulder; and after that the Nazarite may drink wine. 21 This is the law of the Nazarite who has made a vow, and of his offering to the LORD for his separation, excepting what he can afford in addition; according to the vow which he has vowed, so shall he do after the law of his separation."

"22 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons and say to them, Thus you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them, 24 The LORD bless you and keep you; 25 The LORD make his face shine upon you and give you life; 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 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 finished setting up the tabernacle and had anointed it and sanctified it and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them and sanctified them; 2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers who were the princes of the tribes and were over those who were numbered, 3 Brought their offerings before the LORD, six excellently constructed wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox; and they brought them before the tabernacle. 4 And the LORD said to Moses, 5 Take the offerings from them, that they may be used to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service. 6 And Moses took the oxen and the wagons, and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; 8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary assigned to them was that they should carry upon their shoulders."

"10 ¶ And the princes offered offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day that it was anointed; and the princes offered their offerings before the LORD. 11 And the LORD said to Moses, They shall offer each their offerings, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar. 12 And he who offered his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, the prince of the tribe of Judah; 13 And his offering was one silver plate, weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering;

"8:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick. 3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the seven lamps thereof in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses. 4 And the work of the candlestick was of molten gold; from its base to its flower was of cast work; according to the pattern which the LORD had shown to Moses, so he made the candlestick."

"5 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 7 And thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle purifying water upon them, and let them shave all the body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 8 Then let them take a young bullock with its meal offering, a dish full of fine flour mixed with oil, and another young bullock shall you offer for a sin offering. 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; 10 Then you shall bring the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites; 11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the service of the LORD. 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 to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall make the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to the LORD. 14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine. 15 And after that the Levites shall go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an offering before the LORD. 16 For they are wholly given to me as a gift from among the children of Israel; instead of all that open the womb, even instead of the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me. 17 For all the first-born of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast; on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. 18 And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children of Israel. 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 they come near to the sanctuary. 20 And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so did the children of Israel to them. 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 and cleansed them. 22 And after that the Levites went 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 unto them the children of Israel. 23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24 This shall be the law for the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation; 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease from the service and shall serve no more, 26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation to keep guard, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their charge."

"9:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the first month of the second year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 Let the children of Israel keep the passover at its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its rites, and according to all its ceremonies, shall you keep it. 4 And Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the passover. 5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 6 And there were certain men who were defiled by touching the dead body of a man so that they could not keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day. 7 And those men said unto them, We are defiled by touching the dead body of a man; why are we kept back from offering the offering of the LORD at the appointed time among the children of Israel? 8 And Moses said to them, Stay where you are, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. 9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by touching a dead body, or is on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover to the LORD. 11 On the fourteenth day of the second month at the evening they shall keep it, and shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any bone of it; according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and yet fails to keep the passover, at its appointed time, that person shall be cut off from among his people; because he brought not the offering of the LORD at its appointed time, that man shall suffer for his sin. 14 And if a proselyte shall sojourn among you and will keep the passover to the LORD, according to the ordinance of the passover and according to its statutes, so shall he do; you shall have one ordinance, both for the proselyte and for the native of the land."

"15 ¶ And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation; in front of the door of the tent of the testimony at evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night; 17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel journeyed and at the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped. 18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped; all the days that the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained in their tents. 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. 20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed. 21 And sometimes the cloud was upon the tabernacle from evening to morning; and when 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. 22 And whether it was a few days or months or a year, as long as the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, resting thereon, the children of Israel remained in their tents and journeyed not; but when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed; they kept the ordinances of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses."

"10:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Make two trumpets of silver; of casting work shall you make them, that you may use them for the calling of the assembly and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the people shall assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, the princes and the heads of the thousands of Israel shall gather themselves to you. 5 When they blow the trumpet, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey. 6 And when they blow with the second trumpet, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey; they shall blow a trumpet for their journeys. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not make a joyful noise. 8 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. 9 And if you go to war in your land against the enemies that oppress you, you shall blow with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be delivered from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness and in your solemn days and in the beginning of your months 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."

"11 ¶ And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they took their journey for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies; and over their host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanael the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, carrying the tabernacle. 18 And then the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies; and over their host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelmuiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 21 Then the Kohathites set forward, carrying the sanctuary; and they set up the tabernacle before the people came. 22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies; and over their host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Perzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25 And the standard of the children of Dan set forward, which was at the end of all the camps throughout their hosts; and over the host of the tribe of the children of Dan was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of Naphtali was Ahida the son of Enan. 28 Thus was the order of the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts."

"29 ¶ And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you. Come with us, and we will do you good; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel. 30 But he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, where I was born. 31 And Moses said to him, Do not leave us, for you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as a guide for us. 32 And if you shall go with us, it shall be that whatever goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to you. 33 And they departed from the mount of God three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them a day’s journey to prepare a resting place for them. 34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, Moses said, Arise, O LORD, and let them that hate thee be scattered; and let thy enemies flee before thee. 36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to 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 burned among them and consumed in the uttermost parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of that place Yakdana (a burning), because the fire of the LORD burned among them."

"4 ¶ And the mixed multitude that was among them had a strong craving; and they went about and caused the children of Israel to weep, saying, Who shall give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish that we used to eat in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 But now our soul is dried up; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes. 7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and its color as the color of beryllium. 8 And the people went about and gathered it and ground it in a mill 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 bread kneaded with oil. 9 And when the dew came down upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. 10 Then Moses heard the people weeping 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 And Moses said to the LORD, My LORD, why hast thou caused displeasure to thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? Or have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father carries the suckling child, to the land which thou swearest to their fathers? 13 Where can I find meat to give to all this people? For they weep protesting to me, saying, Give us meat, that we may eat. 14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. 15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me right away, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness."

"16 ¶ And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be chiefs of the people and its scribes; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may be ready there with you. 17 And I will come down and talk with you there; and I will take some 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 may not bear it yourself alone. 18 And Moses said to the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow and you shall eat meat: for you have wept before the LORD, saying, Who shall give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt; therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat. 19 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 20 But you shall eat it for a whole month, till it comes out of your nostrils and it become loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt? 21 Then Moses said before the LORD, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou hast said, I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month. 22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be caught for them, to suffice them? 23 And the LORD said to Moses, The LORD’S hand is full; now you shall see whether my word shall come true to you or not."

"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 made them stand round about the tabernacle. 25 And the LORD came down in a cloud and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him and gave it to the seventy elders; and it came to pass that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then they ceased to complain. 26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were among those who were registered, but they went not out to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp. 27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp. 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, who had ministered to Moses from his youth, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29 But Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? Would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! 30 Then Moses came into the camp, he and the elders of Israel."

"31 ¶ And there went forth a wind from before the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 32 And the people rose 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 out in the sun for themselves round about the camp. 33 And while the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 34 And he called the name of that place Kabrey di Rigta (the graves of craving); because it was there that they buried the people who craved meat. 35 And the people journeyed from Kabrey di Rigta to 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. 2 And they said, Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? Has he not spoken by us also? And the LORD heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.)"

"4 ¶ And the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam, Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of the congregation. And the three of them came out. 5 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 6 And the LORD said to them, Hear now my words: If you are prophets, I the LORD will reveal myself to you in a vision and will speak to you in a dream. 7 Not so with my servant Moses, who is faithful in all my house. 8 With him I will speak mouth to mouth, in a vision, and not in similes; and the glory of the LORD has he seen: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed."

"10 ¶ And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow; and when Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous; 11 Then Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, I beseech you, do not lay the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we have sinned. 12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb. 13 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 14 And the LORD said to 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 come in again. 15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam came in again. 16 And after that the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran."

"13:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Send men that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, every one a chief among them. 3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran by the commandment of the LORD; all of those men were chieftains of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 From the tribe of Simeon, Shaft the son of Hadi. 6 From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jophaniah. 7 From the tribe of Issachar, Negail the son of Joseph. 8 From the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun. 9 From the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Daphu. 10 From the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddi the son of Sori. 11 From the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 From the tribe of Dan, Gamaliel the son of Gamli. 13 From the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 From the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 From the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machir. 16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua. 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way into the south, and go up on the mountain 18 And see what the land is, and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is, in which they dwell, whether it is fertile, or poor, or whether it has trees in it or not. 20 Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes."

"21 ¶ So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, which is at the entrance of Hamath. 22 And they went up into the south, and came as far as Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Tolmai, the sons of giants were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And they came as far as the valley of Segola, and cut down from there a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they carried it between two of them on a pole; and they brought some pomegranates and some figs. 24 That place was called the valley of Segola, because of the bunch of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days."

"26 ¶ And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Rakim; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they related to Moses, and said, We went to the land to which you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very great: and moreover we saw the sons of giants there. 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 banks of Jordan. 30 Then 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. 31 But the men who went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone to spy out is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 There we saw giants, the sons of giants, the descendants of giants; and we were in their sight like grasshoppers, and so we were in their eyes."

"14:1 ¶ THEN all the congregation was in commotion, and lifted up their voices and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would God that we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the LORD brought us into this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should be a prey? We were better off when we dwelt in Egypt. 4 And they said one to another, Let us appoint a leader, and let us return to Egypt."

"5 ¶ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jophaniah, who were of those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes; 7 And they said to all the congregation of the children of Israel, The land through which we passed to spy it out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows indeed with milk and honey. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, neither be afraid of the people of the land; for their conquest will be as easy as eating bread; their strength has left them, and the LORD is with us; fear them not. 10 But the whole congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel."

"11 ¶ And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? And how long will they not believe me, for all the signs which I have done among them? 12 I will smite them with pestilence, and destroy them, and I will make of you a nation which is greater and mightier than they. 13 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it (for thou didst bring up this people in thy might from among them), 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that thou LORD art in the midst of this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud stands over them, and that thou goest before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 And if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations who have heard the fame of thee will say, 16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness. 17 And now, let thy power, O LORD, be great according as thou hast spoken, saying, 18 The LORD is longsuffering and of great mercy, and thou forgivest iniquity and transgression, by no means clearing the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon their children’s children to the third and fourth generation. 19 Pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven them from Egypt even until now."

"20 ¶ And the LORD said to Moses, I have forgiven them according to your word; 21 But as truly as I live, the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 22 And yet all the men who have seen my glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness have tempted me, behold now, these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any one of those who provoked me see it; 24 But my servant Caleb, because he has my spirit with him and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went; and his descendants shall possess it. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the mountains.) Tomorrow turn and set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. 26 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall this wicked congregation murmur in my presence? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel which they murmur in my presence. 28 Say to them, As I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my presence, so will I do to you; 29 Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, because you have murmured against me. 30 You shall not come into the land concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jophaniah, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, who you said would become the prey, and your sons who today do not know good and evil, they shall enter into the land, and I will bring them there, and they shall know the land which you have despised. 32 But as for you, your corpses shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your sons shall be shepherds forty years in this wilderness, and shall suffer for your whoredom until your corpses are consumed in this wilderness. 34 According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, a year for each day, shall you suffer for your iniquities, forty years; then you shall know that it is because you have murmured before me. 35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation that are gathered together before me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
