5:14: and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
5:15: then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.

6:20: and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

7:88: and all the oxen for the sacrifice of peace offerings twenty-four bulls, the rams sixty, the male goats sixty, the male lambs a year old sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after it was anointed.
7:89: When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him.
8:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:2: "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
8:3: Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8:4: This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
8:5: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:6: "Take the Levites from among the children of
8:7: Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8:8: Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
8:9: You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of
8:19: 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 Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
8:20: Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of
8:23: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:24: "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
8:25: and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
8:26: but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their duties."
9:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2: "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
9:3: On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season-- according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
9:4: Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
9:5: They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
9:6: There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
9:7: Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
9:8: Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you."
9:9: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
9:10: "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.
9:11: In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12: They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
9:13: But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
9:14: If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"
9:15: On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
9:16: So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
9:17: Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
9:18: At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
9:19: When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, and didn't travel.
9:20: Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
9:21: Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
9:22: Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.
9:23: At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept the charge of Yahweh, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
10:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10:2: Make you two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall you make them: and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
10:3: When they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting.
10:4: If they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of
10:5: When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
10:6: When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
10:7: But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
10:8: The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
10:9: When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
10:12: The children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13: They first took their journey according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
10:14: In the first [place] the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
10:15: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.
10:16: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17: The tent was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tent, set forward.
10:18: The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21: The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the others] did set up the tent against their coming.
10:22: The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
10:23: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25: The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.
10:27: Over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28: Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.
10:29: Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, I will give it you: come you with us, and we will do you good; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30: He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.
10:31: He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes.
10:32: It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you.
10:33: They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.
10:34: The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.
10:35: It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate you flee before you.
10:36: When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
11:1: The people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of Yahweh: and when Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahweh burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
11:2: The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated.
11:3: The name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Yahweh burnt among them.
11:4: The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
11:5: We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
11:6: but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look on.
11:7: The manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.
11:8: The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
11:9: When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
11:10: Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11:11: Moses said to Yahweh, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
11:12: Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing-father carries the sucking child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?
11:13: Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to 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: If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16: Yahweh said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
11:17: I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.
11:18: Say you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you shall eat.
11:19: You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,
11:20: but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21: 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 flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
11:23: Yahweh said to Moses, Has Yahweh's hand grown short? now shall you see whether my word shall happen to you or not.
11:24: Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.
11:25: Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
11:26: 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 on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27: There ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
11:28: Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29: Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? would that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!
11:30: Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31: There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
11:32: The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
11:33: While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.
11:34: The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
11:35: From Kibrothhattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
12:1: Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
12:2: They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it.
12:3: Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
12:4: Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. They three came out.
12:5: Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
12:6: He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.
12:7: My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:
12:8: with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
12:9: The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed.
12:10: The cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
12:11: Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.
12:12: Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.
12:13: Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you.
12:14: Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.
12:15: Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again.
12:16: Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
13:2: Send you men, that they may spy out the
13:3: Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of
13:4: 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, Hoshea the son of Nun.
13:9: Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:17: Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country:
13:18: and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
13:19: and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
13:20: and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
13:23: They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:29: Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
13:30: 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 who went up with him said, We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
13:32: They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
13:33: There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
14:1: All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
14:2: All the children of
14:3: Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into
14:4: They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into
14:5: Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of
14:6: Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:
14:7: and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of
14:8: If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
14:9: Only don't rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don't fear them.
14:13: Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will 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. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15: Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
14:16: Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
14:17: Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
14:18: Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.
14:19: Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
14:20: Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to your word:
14:21: but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;
14:22: because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
14:23: surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised 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 which he went; and his seed shall possess it.
14:25: Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
14:26: Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
14:27: How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
14:28: Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
14:29: your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
14:30: surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
14:31: But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
14:32: But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33: Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.
14:34: After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation.
14:35: I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36: The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
14:37: even those men who did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.
14:38: But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
14:39: Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
14:40: They rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.
14:41: Moses said, Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, seeing it shall not prosper?
14:42: Don't go up, for Yahweh isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
14:43: For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.
14:44: But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp.
14:45: Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
15:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
15:2: Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
15:3: and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;
15:4: then shall he who offers his offering offer to Yahweh a meal-offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
15:5: and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shall you prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
15:6: Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:
15:7: and for the drink-offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
15:8: When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings to Yahweh;
15:9: then shall he offer with the bull a meal-offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:
15:10: and you shall offer for the drink- offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
15:11: Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.
15:12: According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to everyone according to their number.
15:13: All who are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
15:14: If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.
15:15: For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh.
15:16: One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.
15:17: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
15:18: Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you,
15:19: then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave- offering to Yahweh.
15:20: Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing floor, so shall you heave it.
15:21: Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a heave-offering throughout your generations.
15:22: When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,
15:23: even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
15:24: then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, with the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin-offering.
15:25: The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin-offering before Yahweh, for their error:
15:26: and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
15:27: If one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin-offering.
15:28: The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
15:29: You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
15:30: But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is home-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31: Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.
15:32: While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
15:33: Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
15:34: They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
15:35: Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.
15:36: All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
15:37: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
15:38: Speak to the children of Israel, and bid those who they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
15:39: and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;
15:40: that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
15:41: I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.
16:1: Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:
16:2: and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
16:3: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yahweh?
16:4: When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
16:5: and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near to him.
16:6: This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7: and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh does choose, he [shall be] holy: you take too much on you, you sons of Levi.
16:8: Moses said to Korah, Hear now, you sons of Levi:
16:9: [seems it but] a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tent of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
16:10: and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and seek you the priesthood also?
16:12: Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We won't come up:
16:13: is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must needs make yourself also a prince over us?
16:15: Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, "Don't respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
16:16: Moses said to Korah, You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
16:17: and take every man his censer, and put incense on them, and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.
16:18: They took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
16:19: Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation.
16:20: Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
16:21: Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
16:22: They fell on their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?
16:23: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
16:24: Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25: Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
16:26: He spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.
16:27: So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
16:28: Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of my own mind.
16:29: If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn't sent me.
16:30: But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.
16:31: It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
16:32: and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
16:33: So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.
16:34: All Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
16:35: Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
16:36: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
16:37: Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are holy,
16:38: even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
16:39: Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
16:40: to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.
16:41: But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Yahweh.
16:42: It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.
16:43: Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
16:44: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
16:45: Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. They fell on their faces.
16:46: Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun.
16:47: Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
16:48: He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
16:49: Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
16:50: Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.
17:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2: Speak to the children of
17:3: You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
17:4: You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
17:5: It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of
17:6: Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
17:7: Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony.
17:8: It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
17:9: Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
17:10: Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.
17:11: Thus did Moses: as Yahweh commanded him, so did he.
17:12: The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
17:13: Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us?
18:1: Yahweh said to Aaron, You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2: Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.
18:3: They shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.
18:4: They shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
18:5: You shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of
18:6: I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of
18:7: You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
18:8: Yahweh spoke to Aaron, I, behold, I have given you the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
18:9: This shall be your of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
18:10: As the most holy things shall you eat of it; every male shall eat of it: it shall be holy to you.
18:11: This is your: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
18:12: All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh, to you have I given them.
18:13: The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be your; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
18:14: Everything devoted in Israel shall be your.
18:15: Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal shall be your: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals shall you redeem.
18:16: Those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
18:17: But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to Yahweh.
18:18: The flesh of them shall be your, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be your.
18:19: All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you.
18:20: Yahweh said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them: I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
18:21: To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.
18:22: Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
18:23: But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18:24: For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
18:25: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18:26: Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.
18:27: Your heave-offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
18:28: Thus you also shall offer a heave-offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh's heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
18:29: Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave-offering of Yahweh, of all the best of it, even the holy part of it out of it.
18:30: Therefore you shall tell them, When you heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
18:31: You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
18:32: You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it the best of it: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.
19:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
19:2: This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of
19:3: You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face:
19:4: and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
19:5: One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
19:6: and the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7: Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
19:8: He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
19:9: A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of
19:12
19:13: Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn't purifies himself, defiles the tent of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.
19:17: For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
19:18: and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:
19:19: and the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20:1: The children of
20:2: There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
20:3: The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!
20:4: Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
20:5: Why have you made us to come up out of
20:6: Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.
20:7: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
20:8: Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their cattle drink.
20:9: Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him.
20:14: Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has happened to us:
20:15: how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers:
20:16: and when we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border.
20:19: The children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it: let me only, without [doing] anything [else], pass through on my feet.
20:22: They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
20:23: Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
20:24: Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
21:1: The Canaanite, the king of
21:2:
21:3: Yahweh listened to the voice of
21:4: They traveled from
21:5: The people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of
21:6: Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of
21:7: The people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh, and against you; pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. Moses prayed for the people.
21:8: Yahweh said to Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.
21:9: Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.
21:26: For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
21:27: Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, Come you to Heshbon; Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
21:28: For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
21:34: Yahweh said to Moses, Don't fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.
22:1: The children of
22:2: Balak the son of Zippor saw all that
22:3:
22:4:
22:5: He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from
22:6: Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
22:7: The elders of
22:8: He said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak to me: and the princes of
22:9: God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you?
22:16: They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:
22:17: for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.
23:1: Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
23:2: Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
23:3: Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. He went to a bare height.
23:4: God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
23:5: Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
23:6: He returned to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt- offering, he, and all the princes of
23:7: He took up his parable, and said, From
23:8: How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy, whom Yahweh has not defied?
23:9: For from the top of the rocks I see him, From the hills I see him: behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations.
24:1: When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless
24:2: Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw
24:3: He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, The man whose eye was closed says;
24:4: He says, who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
24:5: How goodly are your tents, Jacob, Your tents,
24:6: As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Yahweh has planted, As cedar trees beside the waters.
24:7: Water shall flow from his buckets, His seed shall be in many waters, His king shall be higher than Agag, His kingdom shall be exalted.
24:8: God brings him forth out of
24:9: He couched, he lay down as a lion, As a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be everyone who blesses you, Cursed be everyone who curses you.
24:10: Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
24:11: Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.
24:12: Balaam said to Balak, Didn't I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
24:13: If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad of my own mind; what Yahweh speaks, that will I speak?
24:14: Now, behold, I go to my people: come, [and] I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
24:15: He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, The man whose eye was closed says;
24:16: He says, who hears the words of God, Knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
24:17: I see him, but not now; I see him, but not near: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, A scepter shall rise out of Israel, Shall strike through the corners of Moab, Break down all the sons of tumult.
24:18:
24:19: Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, Shall destroy the remnant from the city.
24:20: He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; But his latter end shall come to destruction.
24:21: He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is your dwelling-place, Your nest is set in the rock.
24:22: Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, Until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
24:23: He took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24:24: But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim, They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber; He also shall come to destruction.
24:25: Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25:1:
25:2: for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3:
25:4: Yahweh said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from
25:5: Moses said to the judges of
25:6: Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
25:7: When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;
25:8: and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
25:9: Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
25:10: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
25:11: Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn't consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12: Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:

26:63: These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
26:64: But among these there was not a man of them who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

30:2: When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
30:3: Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,
30:4: and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
30:5: But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
30:6: If she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,
30:7: and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
30:8: But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her.
30:9: But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
30:10: If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
30:11: and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12: But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her.
30:13: Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14: But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
30:15: But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16: These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

31:24: You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.
31:25: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
31:26: Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the congregation;
31:27: and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
31:28: Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the donkeys, and of the flocks:
31:29: take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh's heave-offering.
31:30: Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tent of Yahweh.
31:31: Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
31:32: Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
31:33: and seventy-two thousand oxen,
31:34: and seventy-one thousand donkeys,
31:35: and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
31:36: The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
31:37: and Yahweh's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.

33:53: and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for to you have I given the land to possess it.
33:54: You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit.
33:55: But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those who you let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land in which you dwell.

35:26: But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
35:27: and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
35:28: because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
35:29: These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30: Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
