Chapter III: Part 3

04:018:012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of
the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto
the LORD, them have I given thee.

04:018:013 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall
bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean
in thine house shall eat of it.

04:018:014 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

04:018:015 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they
bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be
thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely
redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

04:018:016 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou
redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty
gerahs.

04:018:017 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or
the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy:
thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn
their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour
unto the LORD.

04:018:018 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and
as the right shoulder are thine.

04:018:019 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children
of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons
and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a
covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy
seed with thee.

04:018:020 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance
in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I
am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of
Israel.

04:018:021 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth
in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they
serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:018:022 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

04:018:023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the
children of Israel they have no inheritance.

04:018:024 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as
an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites
to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the
children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

04:018:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:018:026 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take
of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you
from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an
heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the
tithe.

04:018:027 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as
though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the
fulness of the winepress.

04:018:028 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of
all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel;
and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron
the priest.

04:018:029 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of
the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part
thereof out of it.

04:018:030 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the
best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the
Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the
increase of the winepress.

04:018:031 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households:
for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of
the congregation.

04:018:032 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved
from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy
things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

04:019:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:019:002 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath
commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that
they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no
blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

04:019:003 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may
bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her
before his face:

04:019:004 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his
finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the
tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

04:019:005 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her
flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

04:019:006 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

04:019:007 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.

04:019:008 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and
bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

04:019:009 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the
heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and
it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of
Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for
sin.

04:019:010 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto
the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth
among them, for a statute for ever.

04:019:011 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
seven days.

04:019:012 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the
seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself
the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

04:019:013 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and
purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD;
and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water
of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean;
his uncleanness is yet upon him.

04:019:014 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come
into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean
seven days.

04:019:015 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it,
is unclean.

04:019:016 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the
open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave,
shall be unclean seven days.

04:019:017 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the
burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall
be put thereto in a vessel:

04:019:018 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water,
and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and
upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a
bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

04:019:019 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the
third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he
shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and shall be clean at even.

04:019:020 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify
himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the
congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the
LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon
him; he is unclean.

04:019:021 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that
sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and
he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean
until even.

04:019:022 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean;
and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

04:020:001 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,
into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people
abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

04:020:002 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered
themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

04:020:003 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God
that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

04:020:004 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into
this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

04:020:005 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to
bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or
of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any
water to drink.

04:020:006 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they
fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto
them.

04:020:007 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:020:008 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and
Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their
eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring
forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the
congregation and their beasts drink.

04:020:009 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded
him.

04:020:010 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before
the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we
fetch you water out of this rock?

04:020:011 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the
rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the
congregation drank, and their beasts also.

04:020:012 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed
me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land
which I have given them.

04:020:013 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel
strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

04:020:014 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom,
Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail
that hath befallen us:

04:020:015 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
fathers:

04:020:016 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent
an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold,
we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

04:020:017 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not
pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither
will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the
king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the
left, until we have passed thy borders.

04:020:018 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come
out against thee with the sword.

04:020:019 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the
high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I
will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go
through on my feet.

04:020:020 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

04:020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border:
wherefore Israel turned away from him.

04:020:022 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,
journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

04:020:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the
coast of the land of Edom, saying,

04:020:024 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not
enter into the land which I have given unto the children of
Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of
Meribah.

04:020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount
Hor:

04:020:026 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall
die there.

04:020:027 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into
mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

04:020:028 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon
Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount:
and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

04:020:029 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they
mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

04:021:001 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south,
heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he
fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.

04:021:002 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt
indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly
destroy their cities.

04:021:003 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered
up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their
cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.

04:021:004 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea,
to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of the way.

04:021:005 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore
have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our
soul loatheth this light bread.

04:021:006 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they
bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

04:021:007 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned,
for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray
unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And
Moses prayed for the people.

04:021:008 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and
set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one
that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

04:021:009 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and
it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

04:021:010 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.

04:021:011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in
the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

04:021:012 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.

04:021:013 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of
Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the
coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab,
between Moab and the Amorites.

04:021:014 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What
he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

04:021:015 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the
dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

04:021:016 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof
the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I
will give them water.

04:021:017 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto
it:

04:021:018 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged
it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And
from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:

04:021:019 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

04:021:020 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab,
to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

04:021:021 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
saying,

04:021:022 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters
of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way,
until we be past thy borders.

04:021:023 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border:
but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out
against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and
fought against Israel.

04:021:024 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed
his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of
Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.

04:021:025 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof.

04:021:026 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 unto Arnon.

04:021:027 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon,
let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

04:021:028 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city
of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the
high places of Arnon.

04:021:029 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he
hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into
captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.

04:021:030 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and
we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto
Medeba.

04:021:031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

04:021:032 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages
thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

04:021:033 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the
king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people,
to the battle at Edrei.

04:021:034 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have
delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land;
and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

04:021:035 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until
there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

04:022:001 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the
plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

04:022:002 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
the Amorites.

04:022:003 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were
many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of
Israel.

04:022:004 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this
company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh
up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was
king of the Moabites at that time.

04:022:005 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to
Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of
his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people
come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth,
and they abide over against me:

04:022:006 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for
they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that
we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land:
for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom
thou cursest is cursed.

04:022:007 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with
the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto
Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

04:022:008 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring
you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the
princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

04:022:009 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with
thee?

04:022:010 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

04:022:011 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth
the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I
shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

04:022:012 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou
shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

04:022:013 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes
of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to
give me leave to go with you.

04:022:014 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and
said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

04:022:015 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable
than they.

04:022:016 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the
son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from
coming unto me:

04:022:017 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do
whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee,
curse me this people.

04:022:018 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If
Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or
more.

04:022:019 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that
I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

04:022:020 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the
men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the
word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

04:022:021 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
went with the princes of Moab.

04:022:022 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of
the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he
was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

04:022:023 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and
his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of
the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to
turn her into the way.

04:022:024 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a
wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

04:022:025 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself
unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and
he smote her again.

04:022:026 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow
place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to
the left.

04:022:027 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down
under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the
ass with a staff.

04:022:028 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto
Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
these three times?

04:022:029 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I
would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill
thee.

04:022:030 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which
thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I
ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

04:022:031 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel
of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his
hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

04:022:032 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou
smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to
withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

04:022:033 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times:
unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain
thee, and saved her alive.

04:022:034 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for
I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now
therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.

04:022:035 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men:
but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou
shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

04:022:036 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet
him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon,
which is in the utmost coast.

04:022:037 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee
to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able
indeed to promote thee to honour?

04:022:038 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I
now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God
putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

04:022:039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.

04:022:040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to
the princes that were with him.

04:022:041 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he
might see the utmost part of the people.

04:023:001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

04:023:002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam
offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

04:023:003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I
will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and
whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an
high place.

04:023:004 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared
seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock
and a ram.

04:023:005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return
unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

04:023:006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

04:023:007 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab
hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,
saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

04:023:008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I
defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

04:023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I
behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be
reckoned among the nations.

04:023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth
part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
my last end be like his!

04:023:011 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I
took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast
blessed them altogether.

04:023:012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that
which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

04:023:013 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto
another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt
see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all:
and curse me them from thence.

04:023:014 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.

04:023:015 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,
while I meet the LORD yonder.

04:023:016 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

04:023:017 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt
offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said
unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?

04:023:018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and
hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

04:023:019 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man,
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

04:023:020 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath
blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

04:023:021 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the
shout of a king is among them.

04:023:022 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn.

04:023:023 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there
any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall
be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

04:023:024 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up
himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of
the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

04:023:025 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
bless them at all.

04:023:026 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,
saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

04:023:027 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that
thou mayest curse me them from thence.

04:023:028 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh
toward Jeshimon.

04:023:029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

04:023:030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.

04:024:001 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel,
he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but
he set his face toward the wilderness.

04:024:002 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in
his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God
came upon him.

04:024:003 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

04:024:004 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the
vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his
eyes open:

04:024:005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O
Israel!

04:024:006 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the
river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath
planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

04:024:007 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall
be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and
his kingdom shall be exalted.

04:024:008 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his
enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through
with his arrows.

04:024:009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who
shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and
cursed is he that curseth thee.

04:024:010 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed
them these three times.

04:024:011 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote
thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back
from honour.

04:024:012 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
which thou sentest unto me, saying,

04:024:013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either
good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that
will I speak?

04:024:014 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I
will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in
the latter days.

04:024:015 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

04:024:016 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the
knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

04:024:017 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not
nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,
and destroy all the children of Sheth.

04:024:018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a
possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

04:024:019 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.

04:024:020 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and
said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end
shall be that he perish for ever.

04:024:021 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and
said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest
in a rock.

04:024:022 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall
carry thee away captive.

04:024:023 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live
when God doeth this!

04:024:024 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall
afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall
perish for ever.

04:024:025 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and
Balak also went his way.

04:025:001 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

04:025:002 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:
and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

04:025:003 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Israel.

04:025:004 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the
people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that
the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

04:025:005 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one
his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

04:025:006 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses,
and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of
Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.

04:025:007 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and
took a javelin in his hand;

04:025:008 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust
both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of
Israel.

04:025:009 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
thousand.

04:025:010 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:011 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while
he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the
children of Israel in my jealousy.

04:025:012 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

04:025:013 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the
covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous
for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

04:025:014 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was
slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu,
a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.

04:025:015 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of
a chief house in Midian.

04:025:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:017 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

04:025:018 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have
beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of
Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which
was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

04:026:001 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

04:026:002 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of
Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their
fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.

04:026:003 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

04:026:004 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward;
as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which
went forth out of the land of Egypt.

04:026:005 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben;
Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu,

numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven
hundred and thirty.

04:026:008 And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.

04:026:009 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is
that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation,
who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of
Korah, when they strove against the LORD:

04:026:010 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together
with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire
devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.

04:026:011 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

hundred.

five thousand and four hundred.

04:026:051 These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred
thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

04:026:052 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:026:053 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance
according to the number of names.

04:026:054 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou
shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his
inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of
him.

04:026:055 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to
the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

04:026:056 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided
between many and few.

04:026:057 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after

Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

04:026:060 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar.

04:026:061 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire
before the LORD.

04:026:062 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were
not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was
no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

04:026:063 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

04:026:064 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and
Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of
Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

04:026:065 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the
wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

04:027:001 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the
names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah,
and Tirzah.

04:027:002 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,
and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

04:027:003 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
company of them that gathered themselves together against the
LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had
no sons.

04:027:004 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a
possession among the brethren of our father.

04:027:005 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

04:027:006 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely
give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's
brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father
to pass unto them.

04:027:008 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a
man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance
to pass unto his daughter.

04:027:009 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his brethren.

04:027:010 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his father's brethren.

04:027:011 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his
family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the
children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD
commanded Moses.

04:027:012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount
Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children
of Israel.

04:027:013 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto
thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

04:027:014 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin,
in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water
before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in
the wilderness of Zin.

04:027:015 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

04:027:016 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man
over the congregation,

04:027:017 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them,
and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that
the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no
shepherd.

04:027:018 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun,
a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

04:027:019 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

04:027:020 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

04:027:021 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask
counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at
his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come
in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all
the congregation.

04:027:022 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua,
and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation:

04:027:023 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the
LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

04:028:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:028:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My
offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a
sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in
their due season.

04:028:003 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by
fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the
first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt
offering.

04:028:004 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other
lamb shalt thou offer at even;

04:028:005 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

04:028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount
Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the
LORD.

04:028:007 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an
hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the
strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.

04:028:008 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat
offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof,
thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the LORD.

04:028:009 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without
spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

04:028:010 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the
continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

04:028:011 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven
lambs of the first year without spot;

04:028:012 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a
meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;

04:028:013 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

04:028:014 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth
part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of
every month throughout the months of the year.

04:028:015 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD
shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his
drink offering.

04:028:016 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover
of the LORD.

04:028:017 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven
days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
