Numbers Explained
Introduction:
Something went terribly wrong on the way to the Promised land. Why would it take the infant nation of Israel 38 years to travel a distance that should have only taken a few weeks at most? And yet that one month's travel turned into nearly four decades of travail. For the adults age 20 and over who left Egypt, it consumed the rest of their lives. They never made it to the Promised Land.
For many long periods the Israelites were in encampments, not wandering. Still, the reason for this seemingly interminable period forms the heart of this book: The Exodus generation adults had a spiritual crisis halfway from Sinai to Canaan. It was not a question of geography or topography; it was a question of faith. The trip from "prison land" to Promised Land was spiritual at its core. It was a test to see whether the Hebrews would trust Yahweh to meet their needs and deliver them safely to their new home in Canaan.
The Exodus generation failed the test and died on the threshold of blessing and promise. It would be their children, those under the age of 20 and those born in the wilderness years, who would lead the nation into Canaan.
The story of Numbers is so important from a spiritual perspective that two New Testament writers warn their readers about failing similar tests. The apostle Paul advised the church in Corinth about yielding to temptations to grumbling, immorality, and idol worship like the Hebrews did (1 Cor. 10:1-11). The author of Hebrews warned his readers about a failure to move in and claim the spiritual rest God had promised (Heb. 3:7 - 4:11). He draws from the story in the Book of Numbers to remind his readers that promises must be grasped and acted on before they can be realized.
Numbers is far more than Moses' travelogue or a record of Israel's population growth. It must be read with spiritual eyes wide open.
Title: The Hebrew title for this book is "In the Wilderness", which is quite descriptive of the contents. The English title has its origin in the Greek version of the Old Testament (Septuagint), where, by the way of the Latin Vulgate, we get the English name. Another Hebrew title, favored by some early church fathers, is based on the first word of the Hebrew text (of 1:1), "and He spoke". This designation emphasizes that the book records the Word of God to Israel.
Only a few chapters (1-4 and 26), are given over to numbering (census taking), while the major portion of the book deals with the laws,regulations and experiences of Israel in the wilderness. The two censuses break the book into its two logical divisions. Chapters (1-21), begin with a census and cover the years in the wilderness, while (chapters 26-36), begin with a census of the new generation and tell of the months before entrance into Canaan. The Balaam story separates these two sections and forms a literary hinge connecting them.
Exodus concentrates on the deliverance from Egypt, the covenant at Sinai, and the erection of the tabernacle. Leviticus highlights the nature of true worship and holiness. Numbers focuses on the Land of Promise and Israel's journey toward it. Leviticus emphasizes the importance of holiness and cleanness. Numbers reiterates the value of faith and obedience. Leviticus stresses the role of sacrifice in creating and maintaining right relations between God and man, whereas Numbers accentuates the indispensability of the priesthood for preserving the nation's spiritual health.
At least three theological strains run through the Book of Numbers:
1. The character of God, especially as He reveals Himself in punishing the wicked (11:25, 33; 12:5, 10; 14:10; 16:19, 42; 20:6);
2. The land as it had been given to Israel by the Lord (32:7, 9), to be a holy land (35:34), and Israel's permanent possession (36:9); and
3. Israel's being the people of God who reflect God's holiness and faithfulness in their lives.
Historical Setting: Numbers should be read in connection with Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. (Exodus 19:1), tells of Israel's arrival in the wilderness of Sinai in the third month after the Hebrews left the land of Egypt. From the third to the twelfth months they received the Decalogue, instructions for building the tabernacle, and directions concerning the many details of the sacrificial system set forth in Leviticus. Then in Numbers, the people of Israel are taught how to function as a camp. Their religious, civil and military economies are set in order in preparation for their journeying, worshiping, and conquering as a nation.
The sequence of events in the book is as follows. From Sinai, Israel journeyed north to the wilderness of Paran. There the spies who brought back an "evil report" instigated a rebellion, so the people refused to enter the land. Then, through foolish presumption, they suffered defeat at the hands of the heathen. They were turned back to wander in the wilderness 38 more years. At the end of this period, they traveled to the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan, and defeated and occupied all of Trans-Jordan north of the river Arnon. Here they fell into sin with the Moabite and Midianite women and worshiped their gods. A new generation of Israel was numbered, and at the command of God destroyed the Midianites who had so harassed them. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh were given possessions east of the Jordan, and Moses appointed Joshua as his successor. From chapter 20 through chapter 36, the book deals with events of the fortieth year (36:13). Numbers has much in common with Deuteronomy because of its many laws and regulations.
Authorship: The first 5 book of the Bible, called the Law, of which Numbers is the fourth, are ascribed to Moses throughout Scripture (Joshua 8:31; 2 Kings 14:6; Neh. 8:1; Mark 12:26; John 7:19). The book of Numbers itself refers to the writing of Moses (in 33:2 and 36:13).
Numbers was written in the final year of Moses' life. The events from 20:1 to the end occur in the 40th year after the Exodus. The account ends with Israel poised on the eastern side of the Jordan River across from Jericho (36:13), which is where the conquest of the land of Canaan began (Joshua chapters 3-6). The book of Numbers must be dated (ca. 1405 B.C.), since it is foundational to the book of Deuteronomy, and Deuteronomy is dated in the 11th month of the 40th year after the Exodus (Deut. 1:3).
Background and Setting: Most of the events of the book are set "in the wilderness". The word "wilderness" is used 48 times in Numbers. This term refers to land that contains little vegetation or trees, and because of a sparsity of rainfall, it cannot be cultivated. This land is best used for tending flocks of animals. In (1:1 - 10:10), Israel encamped in "the wilderness of Sinai". It was a Sinai that the Lord had entered into the Mosaic Covenant with them (Exodus 19-24). From (10:11 - 12:16), Israel traveled from Sinai to Kadesh. In (13:1 - 20:13), the events took place in and around Kadesh, which was located in "the wilderness of Paran" (12:16; 13:3, 26), "the wilderness of Zin" (13:21; 20:1). From (20:14 - 22:1), Israel traveled from Kadesh to the "plains of Moab". All the events of (22:2 - 36:13), occurred while Israel was encamped in the plain to the north of Moab. That plain was a flat and fertile piece of land in the middle of the wasteland (21:20; 23:28; 24:1).
The book of Numbers concentrates on events that take place in the second and fortieth years after the Exodus. All incidents recorded (in 1:1 - 14:45 occur in 1444 B.C.), the year after the Exodus. Everything referred to (after 20:1 is dated ca. 1406 / 1405 B.C.), the 40th year after the Exodus. The laws and events found (in 15:1 - 19:22), are undated, but probably all should be dated (ca. 1443 to 14:07 B.C.). The lack of material devoted to this 37-year period, in comparison with the other years of the journey from Egypt to Canaan, communicates how wasted these years were because of Israel's rebellion against the Lord and His consequent judgment.
Liberal scholars hold that much of what is related in the Book of Numbers is unhistorical. They may make some concessions that some of the material is factual, but they basically have proposed that the book is a composite of several documents. Such scholars designate most of the book as the "P" (Priestly), document, which they claim was written not earlier than the sixth or fifth century B.C., chiefly by priests of postexilic times. They do allow that some of Numbers is from "J" and "E," two documents not older that the ninth and eighth centuries B.C. Even these earlier documents, they say, were far separated from Moses' time, and their traditions are so confused that they tell us little about the Mosaic period.
The bible attest that Moses compiled the book during the wilderness wanderings (1447 - 1407 B.C.). The phrase "the Lord spake unto Moses" appears more than 80 times in the book, along with the statement "Moses wrote their goings out" (33:2). The chief arguments in favor of this view are statements within the Pentateuch that Moses did write some of it down (Exodus 24:4; Num. 33:2; Deut. 31:9, 22), the constant claim that the laws were revealed to him (Exodus 25:1; Lev. 1:1; Num. 1:1), and the New Testament record of Mosaic authorship (Matt. 8:4; 19:7; Luke 24:44; John 1:45). There are several indications of a second millennium B.C. dating for the book:
1. Parallels to the census lists (chapters 1 and 26), are found in the Mari tablets (eighteenth century B.C.), from Mesopotamia, and in Old Kingdom Egyptian documents.
2. The names of the tribal leaders (1:5-15), are characteristically second millennium in form.
3. So was their mode of encampment, the tribes of Israel camping in a square with the tent of their divine King at the center (chapter 2); this arrangement was followed by Rameses II (thirteenth century B.C.), on his campaigns, whereas first millennium Assyrian royal tent enclosures were circular.
4. The role of the priests and Levites in guarding the tabernacle (chapter 4), finds parallels in second millennium B.C. Hittite texts.
5. The design of the lampstand (chapter 8), shows that it comes from the Late Bronze Age (sixteenth to thirteenth centuries B.C.).
6. Trumpets were used during the Egyptian New Kingdom (1570 - 1585 B.C.), to summon to war and worship (chapter 10).
7. The tasseled garments (chapter 15), are attested among Israel's neighbors from the mid-second millennium onward.
8. In style and form, the letter to Edom (chapter 20), resembles second-millennium diplomatic notes.
9. A bronze serpent (chapter 21), and a tent shrine used by Midianites in the twelfth century B.C. have been found at Timna.
10. The laws on sacrifice (in chapters 28 and 29), resemble a fourteenth-century ritual calendar from Ugarit. And
11. The boundaries of Canaan as defined (in chapter 34), correspond to those of the Egyptian province of Canaan in texts of the fifteenth to thirteenth centuries B.C.
What it Says: For more than a year, the Hebrew slaves underwent a transformation. They shuffled into the shadow of Mount Sinai as an unorganized family, the descendants of Jacob. But they left in a wholly different manner. While at Sinai, Moses grouped them by tribes according to the 12 sons of Jacob. The tribes camped around the periphery of a square, three tribes to a side, with the tabernacle erected in the middle of the square. And each grouping of tribes had a lead tribe responsible for their group.
Once organized, it was possible for the new nation to meet their King, the God of their fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They entered into a covenantal agreement with Him to receive and to obey His laws, summarized in the Ten Commandments Moses brought down from the mountain. And they learned what it meant to be separate from the world, illustrated by their separation from the pagan ways of Egypt.
The difference between the Hebrews' arrival at Sinai and their departure could not have been more different! They arrived as refugees and left as a military nation. They were as organized in their march to Canaan as in their camp at Sinai. In a little over a year, the children of Israel had become a nation under the rule of God.
What it means: Numbers can be grouped into two movements based on the two censuses: (chapters 1-25 and chapters 26-36). The book is undergirded by four central themes:
Covenant: The Law of God, the covenant by which Israel was to be ruled, plays a critical role in Israel's history. The covenant was given by God at Mount Sinai beginning with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). Throughout the rest of Exodus, all of Leviticus and Numbers (1:1 - 10:10), commandments, statutes, and judgments were added. These laws were focused particularly on worship, emphasizing instructions concerning the tabernacle and sacrifice. More laws were added at Kadesh (chapters 15; 18-19), and again in the plains of Moab (chapters 27-30; 35-36).
Land: The land that the Lord promised to Abraham and his descendants forever (Gen. 12:7; 13:15; 15:7-21), was the land of Canaan, and the people were to possess what had been promised to them. But the land where they would finally dwell would involve many battles. The two descriptions of census and organization in Numbers (chapters 1-3; 26), were for preparing an army. Israel's battling to inherit their land is a type of the Christian's preparation for victory in spiritual warfare (1 Cor. 10:1-13; 2 Cor. 10:1-6; Eph. 6:10-17; Heb. 3:7 - 4:11).
Faith: Israel's crisis of faith came at Kadesh. That is when the people rebelled against Moses and the Lord upon hearing the evil report of the 10 faithless spies. A report of insurmountable problems in the land (chapters 13 and 14). Israel learned the lesson that faith is manifested by obedience to God's commands. As a result of their disobedience, the adult Israelites (except for Joshua and Caleb), were barred from entering the Promised Land (14:22-23).
Promises: The promises of God are not invalidated by the failures of humanity. People's actions can delay the realization of God's promised blessing but not cancel them. Just as God waited 38 years for a new generation of Israelites to inherit the land, so Israel has been waiting nearly 2,000 years to re-inhabit the land under God's blessing. The apostle Paul takes up the issue of Israel and God's promises (in Romans chapters 9-11).
What it Means to You: What happened one night at a crossroads called Kadesh changed the destiny of millions and erased the hopes of a whole generation. There is no way to overstate what a devastating effect the negative, faithless report of 10 men had on the nation. Israel was at a tipping point that night: the words of the returned spies would either tip the people toward the Promised Land, or toward death and futility.
Summation: People all around us in the course of our day may be, for one reason or another, at an intersection in their lives. Our attitude, our outlook, our faith, our words, our courage at their crossroads could actually lift their lives, sending them in a positive direction. Conversely, our negative, discouraging, cynical talk might easily nudge the confused or disheartened down a longer road into doubt or despair. Is it any wonder that the Lord spoke so soberly about the power of our words and our responsibility in speaking them? Jesus said, "I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of Judgment (Matt. 12:36).

I, behold, I have
taken the Levites
from among the
children of Israel
instead of all the
firstborn that
openeth the matrix
among the children
of Israel:
therefore the
Levites shall be
mine;"

firstborn [are]
mine; [for] on the

wife unto the priest, and he shall bring
her offering for her, the tenth [part] of
an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no

woman before the LORD, and uncover the
woman's head, and put the offering of
memorial in her hands, which [is] the

make thee a curse and an oath among thy
people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh
to rot, and thy belly to swell;"

[thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to
rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen."

these curses in a book, and he shall blot
[them] out with the bitter water:"
Numbers 5:24 "And he shall cause the woman
to drink the bitter water that causeth the
curse: and the water that causeth the curse
shall enter into her, [and become] bitter."
Numbers 5:25 "Then the priest shall take
the jealousy offering out of the woman's
hand, and shall wave the offering before
the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:"

handful of the offering, [even] the
memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the
altar, and afterward shall cause the woman
to drink the water."
Numbers 5:27 "And when he hath made her to
drink the water, then it shall come to
pass, [that], if she be defiled, and have
done trespass against her husband, that the
water that causeth the curse shall enter
into her, [and become] bitter, and her
belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot:
and the woman shall be a curse among her
people."

another] instead of her husband, and is
defiled;"

jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous
over his wife, and shall set the woman
before the LORD, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law."

guiltless from iniquity, and this woman
shall bear her iniquity."

from wine and strong drink, and shall drink
no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong
drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of
grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried."

separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall

he [is] holy unto the LORD."

suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the
head of his consecration; then he shall

on the seventh day shall he shave it."

shall bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:"

the one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make an atonement
for him, for that he sinned by the dead,
and shall hallow his head that same day."
Numbers 6:12 "And he shall consecrate unto
the LORD the days of his separation, and
shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
trespass offering: but the days that were
before shall be lost, because his
separation was defiled."

Nazarite, when the days of his separation
are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:"

offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the
first year without blemish for a burnt
offering, and one ewe lamb of the first
year without blemish for a sin offering,
and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings,"

also keep the passover at his appointed
season."

month, at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the
rites of it, and according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it."
Numbers 9:4 "And Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, that they should keep
the passover."
Numbers 9:5 "And they kept the passover on
the fourteenth day of the first month at
even in the wilderness of Sinai: according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel."
Numbers 9:6 "And there were certain men,
who were defiled by the dead body of a man,
that they could not keep the passover on
that day: and they came before Moses and
before Aaron on that day:"
Numbers 9:7 "And those men said unto him,
We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that we may not
offer an offering of the LORD in his
appointed season among the children of
Israel?"
Numbers 9:8 "And Moses said unto them,
Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD
will command concerning you."
Numbers 9:9 "And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,"
Numbers 9:10 "Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, If any man of you or of
your posterity shall be unclean by reason
of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar
off, yet he shall keep the Passover unto
the LORD."
Numbers 9:11 "The fourteenth day of the
second month at even they shall keep it,
[and] eat it with unleavened bread and
bitter [herbs]."
Numbers 9:12 "They shall leave none of it
unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the
passover they shall keep it."
Numbers 9:13 "But the man that [is] clean,
and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to
keep the passover, even the same soul shall
be cut off from among his people: because
he brought not the offering of the LORD in
his appointed season, that man shall bear
his sin."
Numbers 9:14 "And if a stranger shall
sojourn among you, and will keep the
passover unto the LORD; according to the
ordinance of the passover, and according to
the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye
shall have one ordinance, both for the
stranger, and for him that was born in the
land."
Numbers 9:15 "And on the day that the
tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered
the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the
testimony: and at even there was upon the
tabernacle as it were the appearance of
fire, until the morning."
Numbers 9:16 "So it was always: the cloud
covered it [by day], and the appearance of
fire by night."
Numbers 9:17 "And when the cloud was taken
up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the
place where the cloud abode, there the
children of Israel pitched their tents."
Numbers 9:18 "At the commandment of the
LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and
at the commandment of the LORD they
pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon
the tabernacle they rested in their tents."
Numbers 9:19 "And when the cloud tarried
long upon the tabernacle many days, then
the children of Israel kept the charge of
the LORD, and journeyed not."
Numbers 9:20 "And [so] it was, when the
cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of the LORD
they abode in their tents, and according to
the commandment of the LORD they
journeyed."
Numbers 9:21 "And [so] it was, when the
cloud abode from even unto the morning, and
[that] the cloud was taken up in the
morning, then they journeyed: whether [it
was] by day or by night that the cloud was
taken up, they journeyed."
Numbers 9:22 "Or [whether it were] two
days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining
thereon, the children of Israel abode in
their tents, and journeyed not: but when it
was taken up, they journeyed."
Numbers 9:23 "At the commandment of the
LORD they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed:
they kept the charge of the LORD, at the
commandment of the LORD by the hand of
Moses."

gladness, and in your solemn days, and in

for a memorial before your God: I [am] the

complained, it displeased the LORD: and the
LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled;
and the fire of the LORD burnt among them,
and consumed [them that were] in the
uttermost parts of the camp."
Numbers 11:2 "And the people cried unto
Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD,
the fire was quenched."
Numbers 11:3 "And he called the name of the
place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD
burnt among them."
Numbers 11:4 "And the mixed multitude that
[was] among them fell a lusting: and the
children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?"
Numbers 11:5 "We remember the fish, which
we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
and the melons, and the leeks, and the
onions, and the garlic:"
Numbers 11:6 "But now our soul [is] dried
away: [there is] nothing at all, beside
this manna, [before] our eyes."
Numbers 11:7 "And the manna [was] as
coriander seed, and the color thereof as
the color of bdellium."
Numbers 11:8 "[And] the people went about,
and gathered [it], and ground [it] in
mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked
[it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the
taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil."
Numbers 11:9 "And when the dew fell upon
the camp in the night, the manna fell upon
it."
Numbers 11:10 "Then Moses heard the people
weep throughout their families, every man
in the door of his tent: and the anger of
the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also
was displeased."
Numbers 11:11 "And Moses said unto the
LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy
servant? and wherefore have I not found
favor in thy sight, that thou layest the
burden of all this people upon me?"
Numbers 11:12 "Have I conceived all this
people? have I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy
bosom, as a nursing father beareth the
sucking child, unto the land which thou
swarest unto their fathers?"
Numbers 11:13 "Whence should I have flesh
to give unto all this people? for they weep
unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may
eat."
Numbers 11:14 "I am not able to bear all
this people alone, because [it is] too
heavy for me."
Numbers 11:15 "And if thou deal thus with
me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I
have found favor in thy sight; and let me
not see my wretchedness."
Numbers 11:16 "And the LORD said unto
Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the
elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be
the elders of the people, and officers over
them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of
the congregation, that they may stand there
with thee."
Numbers 11:17 "And I will come down and
talk with thee there: and I will take of
the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will
put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the
burden of the people with thee, that thou
bear [it] not thyself alone."
Numbers 11:18 "And say thou unto the
people, Sanctify yourselves against
tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye
have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying,
Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it
was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the
LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall
eat."
Numbers 11:19 "Ye shall not eat one day,
nor two days, nor five days, neither ten
days, nor twenty days;"
Numbers 11:20 "[But] even a whole month,
until it come out at your nostrils, and it
be loathsome unto you: because that ye have
despised the LORD which [is] among you, and
have wept before him, saying, Why came we
forth out of Egypt?"
Numbers 11:21 "And Moses said, The people,
among whom I [am, are] six hundred thousand
footmen; and thou hast said, I will give
them flesh, that they may eat a whole
month."
Numbers 11:22 "Shall the flocks and the
herds be slain for them, to suffice them?
or shall all the fish of the sea be
gathered together for them, to suffice
them?"
Numbers 11:23 "And the LORD said unto
Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou
shalt see now whether my word shall come to
pass unto thee or not."
Numbers 11:24 "And Moses went out, and told
the people the words of the LORD, and
gathered the seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them round about the
tabernacle."
Numbers 11:25 "And the LORD came down in a
cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it]
unto the seventy elders: and it came to
pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon
them, they prophesied, and did not cease."
Numbers 11:26 "But there remained two [of
the] men in the camp, the name of the one
[was] Eldad, and the name of the other
Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and
they [were] of them that were written, but
went not out unto the tabernacle: and they
prophesied in the camp."
Numbers 11:27 "And there ran a young man,
and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad
do prophesy in the camp."
Numbers 11:28 "And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, [one] of his young
men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them."
Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him,
Enviest thou for my sake? would God that
all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and]
that the LORD would put his spirit upon
them!"
Numbers 11:30 "And Moses gat him into the
camp, he and the elders of Israel."
Numbers 11:31 "And there went forth a wind
from the LORD, and brought quails from the
sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it
were a day's journey on this side, and as
it were a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and as it were two
cubits [high] upon the face of the earth."
Numbers 11:32 "And the people stood up all
that day, and all [that] night, and all the
next day, and they gathered the quails: he
that gathered least gathered ten homers:
and they spread [them] all abroad for
themselves round about the camp."
Numbers 11:33 "And while the flesh [was]
yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,
the wrath of the LORD was kindled against
the people, and the LORD smote the people
with a very great plague."
Numbers 11:34 "And he called the name of
that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there
they buried the people that lusted."
Numbers 11:35 "[And] the people journeyed
from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and
abode at Hazeroth."
Numbers 12
Numbers Chapter 12
Numbers 12:1 "And Miriam and Aaron spake
against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married: for he had
married an Ethiopian woman."
Numbers 12:2 "And they said, Hath the LORD
indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the LORD heard
[it]."
Numbers 12:3 "(Now the man Moses [was] very
meek, above all the men which [were] upon
the face of the earth.)"
Numbers 12:4 "And the LORD spake suddenly
unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto
Miriam, Come out ye three unto the
tabernacle of the congregation. And they
three came out."
Numbers 12:5 "And the LORD came down in the
pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the
door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron
and Miriam: and they both came forth."
Numbers 12:6 "And he said, Hear now my
words: If there be a prophet among you, [I]
the LORD will make myself known unto him in
a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a
dream."
Numbers 12:7 "My servant Moses [is] not so,
who [is] faithful in all mine house."
Numbers 12:8 "With him will I speak mouth
to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark
speeches; and the similitude of the LORD
shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not
afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"
Numbers 12:9 "And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against them; and he departed."
Numbers 12:10 "And the cloud departed from
off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
[became] leprous, [white] as snow: and
Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she
was] leprous."
Numbers 12:11 "And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the
sin upon us, wherein we have done
foolishly, and wherein we have sinned."
Numbers 12:12 "Let her not be as one dead,
of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
cometh out of his mother's womb."
Numbers 12:13 "And Moses cried unto the
LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
beseech thee."
Numbers 12:14 "And the LORD said unto
Moses, If her father had but spit in her
face, should she not be ashamed seven days?
let her be shut out from the camp seven
days, and after that let her be received in
[again]."
Numbers 12:15 "And Miriam was shut out from
the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in
[again]."
Numbers 12:16 "And afterward the people
removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran."
Numbers 13
Numbers Chapter 13
Numbers 13:1 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 13:2 "Send thou men, that they may
search the land of Canaan, which I give
unto the children of Israel: of every tribe
of their fathers shall ye send a man, every
one a ruler among them."
Numbers 13:3 "And Moses by the commandment
of the LORD sent them from the wilderness
of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the
children of Israel."
Numbers 13:4 "And these [were] their names:
of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of
Zaccur."
Numbers 13:5 "Of the tribe of Simeon,
Shaphat the son of Hori."

Numbers 13:14 "Of the tribe of Naphtali,
Nahbi the son of Vophsi."
Numbers 13:15 "Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel
the son of Machi."
Numbers 13:16 "These [are] the names of the
men which Moses sent to spy out the land.
And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun
Jehoshua."
Numbers 13:17 "And Moses sent them to spy
out the land of Canaan, and said unto them,
Get you up this [way] southward, and go up
into the mountain:"
Numbers 13:18 "And see the land, what it
[is]; and the people that dwelleth therein,
whether they [be] strong or weak, few or
many;"
Numbers 13:19 "And what the land [is] that
they dwell in, whether it [be] good or bad;
and what cities [they be] that they dwell
in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;"
Numbers 13:20 "And what the land [is],
whether it [be] fat or lean, whether there
be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good
courage, and bring of the fruit of the
land. Now the time [was] the time of the
firstripe grapes."
Numbers 13:21 "So they went up, and
searched the land from the wilderness of
Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath."
Numbers 13:22 "And they ascended by the
south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak,
[were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years
before Zoan in Egypt.)"
Numbers 13:23 "And they came unto the brook
of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a
branch with one cluster of grapes, and they
bare it between two upon a staff; and [they
brought] of the pomegranates, and of the
figs."
Numbers 13:24 "The place was called the
brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of
grapes which the children of Israel cut
down from thence."
Numbers 13:25 "And they returned from
searching of the land after forty days."
Numbers 13:26 "And they went and came to
Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh;
and brought back word unto them, and unto
all the congregation, and showed them the
fruit of the land."
Numbers 13:27 "And they told him, and said,
We came unto the land whither thou sentest
us, and surely it floweth with milk and
honey; and this [is] the fruit of it."
Numbers 13:28 "Nevertheless the people [be]
strong that dwell in the land, and the
cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak
there."
Numbers 13:29 "The Amalekites dwell in the
land of the south: and the Hittites, and
the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in
the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by
the sea, and by the coast of Jordan."
Numbers 13:30 "And Caleb stilled the people
before Moses, and said, Let us go up at
once, and possess it; for we are well able
to overcome it."
Numbers 13:31 "But the men that went up
with him said, We be not able to go up
against the people; for they [are] stronger
than we."
Numbers 13:32 "And they brought up an evil
report of the land which they had searched
unto the children of Israel, saying, The
land, through which we have gone to search
it, [is] a land that eateth up the
inhabitants thereof; and all the people
that we saw in it [are] men of a great
stature."
Numbers 13:33 "And there we saw the giants,
the sons of Anak, [which come] of the
giants: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight."
Numbers 14
Numbers Chapter 14
Numbers 14:1 "And all the congregation lifted up their
voice, and cried; and the people wept that night."
Numbers 14:2 "And all the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole
congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died
in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this
wilderness!"
Numbers 14:3 "And wherefore hath the LORD brought us
unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives
and our children should be a prey? were it not better
for us to return into Egypt?"
Numbers 14:4 "And they said one to another, Let us make
a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
Numbers 14:5 "Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the assembly of the congregation of the
children of Israel."
Numbers 14:6 "And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the
son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched
the land, rent their clothes:"
Numbers 14:7 "And they spake unto all the company of
the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we
passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good
land."
Numbers 14:8 "If the LORD delight in us, then he will
bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which
floweth with milk and honey."
Numbers 14:9 "Only rebel not ye against the LORD,
neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are]
bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and
the LORD [is] with us: fear them not."
Numbers 14:10 "But all the congregation bade stone them
with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the
tabernacle of the congregation before all the children
of Israel."
Numbers 14:11 "And the LORD said unto Moses, How long
will this people provoke me? and how long will it be
ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have
showed among them?"
Numbers 14:12 "I will smite them with the pestilence,
and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater
nation and mightier than they."
Numbers 14:13 "And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the
Egyptians shall hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this
people in thy might from among them;)"
Numbers 14:14 "And they will tell [it] to the
inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that
thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art
seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over
them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in
a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night."
Numbers 14:15 "Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this
people as one man, then the nations which have heard
the fame of thee will speak, saying,"
Numbers 14:16 "Because the LORD was not able to bring
this people into the land which he sware unto them,
therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness."
Numbers 14:17 "And now, I beseech thee, let the power
of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken,
saying,"
Numbers 14:18 "The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of
great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and
by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth [generation]."
Numbers 14:19 "Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of
this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy,
and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even
until now."
Numbers 14:20 "And the LORD said, I have pardoned
according to thy word:"
Numbers 14:21 "But [as] truly [as] I live, all the
earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."
Numbers 14:22 "Because all those men which have seen my glory,
and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness,
and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened
to my voice;"
Numbers 14:23 "Surely they shall not see the land which I sware
unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me
see it:"
Numbers 14:24 "But my servant Caleb, because he had another
spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring
into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess
it."
Numbers 14:25 "(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in
the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness
by the way of the Red sea."
Numbers 14:26 "And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,"
Numbers 14:27 "How long [shall I bear with] this evil
congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against
me."
Numbers 14:28 "Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the
LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:"
Numbers 14:29 "Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and
all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number,
from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against
me,"
Numbers 14:30 "Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,
[concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."
Numbers 14:31 "But your little ones, which ye said should be a
prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which
ye have despised."
Numbers 14:32 "But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall
in this wilderness."
Numbers 14:33 "And your children shall wander in the wilderness
forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be
wasted in the wilderness."
Numbers 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye
searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year,
shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall
know my breach of promise."
Numbers 14:35 "I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto
all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against
me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they
shall die."
Numbers 14:36 "And the men, which Moses sent to search the
land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur
against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,"
Numbers 14:37 "Even those men that did bring up the evil report
upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD."
Numbers 14:38 "But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the
land, lived [still]."
Numbers 14:39 "And Moses told these sayings unto all the
children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly."
Numbers 14:40 "And they rose up early in the morning, and gat
them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here],
and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for
we have sinned."
Numbers 14:41 "And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress
the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper."
Numbers 14:43 "For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are]
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye
are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be
with you."
Numbers 14:44 "But they presumed to go up unto the hill top:
nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses,
departed not out of the camp."
Numbers 14:45 "Then the Amalekites came down, and the
Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and
discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah."
Numbers 15
Numbers Chapter 15
Numbers 15:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
Numbers 15:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which
I give unto you,"
Numbers 15:3 "And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD,
a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a
freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet
savor unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:"
Numbers 15:4 "Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the
LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled
with the fourth [part] of an hin of oil."
Numbers 15:5 "And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a
drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or
sacrifice, for one lamb."
Numbers 15:6 "Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat
offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part]
of an hin of oil."
Numbers 15:7 "And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the
third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savor unto the
LORD."
Numbers 15:8 "And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt
offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace
offerings unto the LORD:"
Numbers 15:9 "Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat
offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin
of oil."
Numbers 15:10 "And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half
an hin of wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto the LORD."
Numbers 15:11 "Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for
one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid."
Numbers 15:12 "According to the number that ye shall prepare,
so shall ye do to every one according to their number."
Numbers 15:13 "All that are born of the country shall do these
things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savor unto the LORD."
Numbers 15:14 "And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever
[be] among you in your generations, and will offer an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD; as ye do, so he
shall do."
Numbers 15:15 "One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the
congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with
you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are],
so shall the stranger be before the LORD."
Numbers 15:16 "One law and one manner shall be for you, and for
the stranger that sojourneth with you."
Numbers 15:17 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
Numbers 15:18 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,"
Numbers 15:19 "Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread
of the land, ye shall offer up a heave offering unto the LORD."
Numbers 15:20 "Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your
dough [for] a heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of
the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it."
Numbers 15:21 "Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto
the LORD a heave offering in your generations."
Numbers 15:22 "And if ye have erred, and not observed all these
commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,"
Numbers 15:23 "[Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by
the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded
[Moses], and henceforward among your generations;"
Numbers 15:24 "Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by
ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all
the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt
offering, for a sweet savor unto the LORD, with his meat
offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and
one kid of the goats for a sin offering."
Numbers 15:25 "And the priest shall make an atonement for all
the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be
forgiven them; for it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring
their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and
their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:"
Numbers 15:26 "And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of
the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among
them; seeing all the people [were] in ignorance."
Numbers 15:27 "And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he
shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering."
Numbers 15:28 "And the priest shall make an atonement for the
soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance
before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be
forgiven him."
Numbers 15:29 "Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth
through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among
them."
Numbers 15:30 "But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously,
[whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same
reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among
his people."
Numbers 15:31 "Because he hath despised the word of the LORD,
and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut
off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him."
Numbers 15:32 "And while the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the
sabbath day."
Numbers 15:33 "And they that found him gathering sticks brought
him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation."
Numbers 15:34 "And they put him in ward, because it was not
declared what should be done to him."
Numbers 15:35 "And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be
surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with
stones without the camp."
Numbers 15:36 "And all the congregation brought him without the
camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD
commanded Moses."
Numbers 15:37 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
Numbers 15:38 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them
that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments
throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe
of the borders a ribband of blue:"
Numbers 15:39 "And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye
may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the
LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart
and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:"
Numbers 15:40 "That ye may remember, and do all my
commandments, and be holy unto your God."
Numbers 15:41 "I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out
of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your
God."

they rose up before
Moses, with certain
of the children of
Israel, two hundred
and fifty princes
of the assembly,
famous in the
congregation, men
of renown:"
Numbers 16:3 "And
they gathered
themselves together
against Moses and
against Aaron, and
said unto them, [Ye
take] too much upon
you, seeing all the
congregation [are]
holy, every one of
them, and the LORD
[is] among them:
wherefore then lift
ye up yourselves
above the
congregation of the
LORD?"
Numbers 16:4 "And
when Moses heard
[it], he fell upon
his face:"
Numbers 16:5 "And
he spake unto Korah
and unto all his
company, saying,
Even tomorrow the
LORD will show who
[are] his, and [who
is] holy; and will
cause [him] to come
near unto him: even
[him] whom he hath
chosen will he
cause to come near
unto him."
Numbers 16:6 "This
do; Take you
censers, Korah, and
all his company;"
Numbers 16:7 "And
put fire therein,
and put incense in
them before the
LORD to morrow: and
it shall be [that]
the man whom the
LORD doth choose,
he [shall be] holy:
[ye take] too much
upon you, ye sons
of Levi."
Numbers 16:8 "And
Moses said unto
Korah, Hear, I pray
you, ye sons of
Levi:"
Numbers 16:9
"[Seemeth it but] a
small thing unto
you, that the God
of Israel hath
separated you from
the congregation of
Israel, to bring
you near to himself
to do the service
of the tabernacle
of the LORD, and to
stand before the
congregation to
minister unto
them?"
Numbers 16:10 "And
he hath brought
thee near [to him],
and all thy
brethren the sons
of Levi with thee:
and seek ye the
priesthood also?"
Numbers 16:11 "For
which cause [both]
thou and all thy
company [are]
gathered together
against the LORD:
and what [is]
Aaron, that ye
murmur against
him?"
Numbers 16:12 "And
Moses sent to call
Dathan and Abiram,
the sons of Eliab:
which said, We will
not come up:"
Numbers 16:13 "[Is
it] a small thing
that thou hast
brought us up out
of a land that
floweth with milk
and honey, to kill
us in the
wilderness, except
thou make thyself
altogether a prince
over us?"
Numbers 16:14
"Moreover thou hast
not brought us into
a land that floweth
with milk and
honey, or given us
inheritance of
fields and
vineyards: wilt
thou put out the
eyes of these men?
we will not come
up."
Numbers 16:15 "And
Moses was very
wroth, and said
unto the LORD,
Respect not thou
their offering: I
have not taken one
ass from them,
neither have I hurt
one of them."
Numbers 16:16 "And
Moses said unto
Korah, Be thou and
all thy company
before the LORD,
thou, and they, and
Aaron, tomorrow:"
Numbers 16:17 "And
take every man his
censer, and put
incense in them,
and bring ye before
the LORD every man
his censer, two
hundred and fifty
censers; thou also,
and Aaron, each [of
you] his censer."
Numbers 16:18 "And
they took every man
his censer, and put
fire in them, and
laid incense
thereon, and stood
in the door of the
tabernacle of the
congregation with
Moses and Aaron."
Numbers 16:19 "And
Korah gathered all
the congregation
against them unto
the door of the
tabernacle of the
congregation: and
the glory of the
LORD appeared unto
all the
congregation."
Numbers 16:20 "And
the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto
Aaron, saying,"
Numbers 16:21
"Separate
yourselves from
among this
congregation, that
I may consume them
in a moment."
Numbers 16:22 "And
they fell upon
their faces, and
said, O God, the
God of the spirits
of all flesh, shall
one man sin, and
wilt thou be wroth
with all the
congregation?"
Numbers 16:23 "And
the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 16:24
"Speak unto the
congregation,
saying, Get you up
from about the
tabernacle of
Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram."
Numbers 16:25 "And
Moses rose up and
went unto Dathan
and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel
followed him."
Numbers 16:26 "And
he spake unto the
congregation,
saying, Depart, I
pray you, from the
tents of these
wicked men, and
touch nothing of
theirs, lest ye be
consumed in all
their sins."
Numbers 16:27 "So
they gat up from
the tabernacle of
Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram, on every
side: and Dathan
and Abiram came
out, and stood in
the door of their
tents, and their
wives, and their
sons, and their
little children."
Numbers 16:28 "And
Moses said, Hereby
ye shall know that
the LORD hath sent
me to do all these
works; for [I have]
not [done them] of
mine own mind."
Numbers 16:29 "If
these men die the
common death of all
men, or if they be
visited after the
visitation of all
men; [then] the
LORD hath not sent
me."
Numbers 16:30 "But
if the LORD make a
new thing, and the
earth open her
mouth, and swallow
them up, with all
that [appertain]
unto them, and they
go down quick into
the pit; then ye
shall understand
that these men have
provoked the LORD."
Numbers 16:31 "And
it came to pass, as
he had made an end
of speaking all
these words, that
the ground clave
asunder that [was]
under them:"
Numbers 16:32 "And the earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
houses, and all the men that [appertained]
unto Korah, and all [their] goods."
Numbers 16:33 "They, and all that
[appertained] to them, went down alive into
the pit, and the earth closed upon them:
and they perished from among the
congregation."
Numbers 16:34 "And all Israel that [were]
round about them fled at the cry of them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up
[also]."
Numbers 16:35 "And there came out a fire
from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred
and fifty men that offered incense."
Numbers 16:36 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 16:37 "Speak unto Eleazar the son
of Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter
thou the fire yonder; for they are
hallowed."
Numbers 16:38 "The censers of these sinners
against their own souls, let them make them
broad plates [for] a covering of the altar:
for they offered them before the LORD,
therefore they are hallowed: and they shall
be a sign unto the children of Israel."
Numbers 16:39 "And Eleazar the priest took
the brasen censers, wherewith they that
were burnt had offered; and they were made
broad [plates for] a covering of the
altar:"
Numbers 16:40 "[To be] a memorial unto the
children of Israel, that no stranger, which
[is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to
offer incense before the LORD; that he be
not as Korah, and as his company: as the
LORD said to him by the hand of Moses."
Numbers 16:41 "But on the morrow all the
congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron,
saying, Ye have killed the people of the
LORD."
Numbers 16:42 "And it came to pass, when
the congregation was gathered against Moses
and against Aaron, that they looked toward
the tabernacle of the congregation: and,
behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory
of the LORD appeared."
Numbers 16:43 "And Moses and Aaron came
before the tabernacle of the congregation."
Numbers 16:44 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 16:45 "Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume them as in
a moment. And they fell upon their faces."
Numbers 16:46 "And Moses said unto Aaron,
Take a censer, and put fire therein from
off the altar, and put on incense, and go
quickly unto the congregation, and make an
atonement for them: for there is wrath gone
out from the LORD; the plague is begun."
Numbers 16:47 "And Aaron took as Moses
commanded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague was
begun among the people: and he put on
incense, and made an atonement for the
people."
Numbers 16:48 "And he stood between the
dead and the living; and the plague was
stayed."
Numbers 16:49 "Now they that died in the
plague were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, beside them that died about the
matter of Korah."
Numbers 16:50 "And Aaron returned unto
Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation: and the plague was
stayed."
Numbers 17
Numbers Chapter 17
Numbers 17:1 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 17:2 "Speak unto the children of
Israel, and take of every one of them a rod
according to the house of [their] fathers,
of all their princes according to the house
of their fathers twelve rods: write thou
every man's name upon his rod."
Numbers 17:3 "And thou shalt write Aaron's
name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod
[shall be] for the head of the house of
their fathers."
Numbers 17:4 "And thou shalt lay them up in
the tabernacle of the congregation before
the testimony, where I will meet with you."
Numbers 17:5 "And it shall come to pass,
[that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose,
shall blossom: and I will make to cease
from me the murmurings of the children of
Israel, whereby they murmur against you."
Numbers 17:6 "And Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, and every one of their
princes gave him a rod apiece, for each
prince one, according to their fathers'
houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of
Aaron [was] among their rods."
Numbers 17:7 "And Moses laid up the rods
before the LORD in the tabernacle of
witness."
Numbers 17:8 "And it came to pass, that on
the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle
of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron
for the house of Levi was budded, and
brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms,
and yielded almonds."
Numbers 17:9 "And Moses brought out all the
rods from before the LORD unto all the
children of Israel: and they looked, and
took every man his rod."
Numbers 17:10 "And the LORD said unto
Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the
testimony, to be kept for a token against
the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away
their murmurings from me, that they die
not."
Numbers 17:11 "And Moses did [so]: as the
LORD commanded him, so did he."
Numbers 17:12 "And the children of Israel
spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die,
we perish, we all perish."
Numbers 17:13 "Whosoever cometh any thing
near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall
die: shall we be consumed with dying?"
Numbers 18
Numbers Chapter 18
Numbers 18:1 "And the LORD said unto Aaron,
Thou and thy sons and thy father's house
with thee shall bear the iniquity of the
sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee
shall bear the iniquity of your
priesthood."
Numbers 18:2 "And thy brethren also of the
tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father,
bring thou with thee, that they may be
joined unto thee, and minister unto thee:
but thou and thy sons with thee [shall
minister] before the tabernacle of
witness."
Numbers 18:3 "And they shall keep thy
charge, and the charge of all the
tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh
the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,
that neither they, nor ye also, die."
Numbers 18:4 "And they shall be joined unto
thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the congregation, for all the service of
the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not
come nigh unto you."
Numbers 18:5 "And ye shall keep the charge
of the sanctuary, and the charge of the
altar: that there be no wrath any more upon
the children of Israel."
Numbers 18:6 "And I, behold, I have taken
your brethren the Levites from among the
children of Israel: to you [they are] given
[as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation."
Numbers 18:7 "Therefore thou and thy sons
with thee shall keep your priest's office
for every thing of the altar, and within
the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given
your priest's office [unto you as] a
service of gift: and the stranger that
cometh nigh shall be put to death."
Numbers 18:8 "And the LORD spake unto
Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the
charge of mine heave offerings of all the
hallowed things of the children of Israel;
unto thee have I given them by reason of
the anointing, and to thy sons, by an
ordinance for ever."
Numbers 18:9 "This shall be thine of the
most holy things, [reserved] from the fire:
every oblation of theirs, every meat
offering of theirs, and every sin offering
of theirs, and every trespass offering of
theirs, which they shall render unto me,
[shall be] most holy for thee and for thy
sons."
Numbers 18:10 "In the most holy [place]
shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it:
it shall be holy unto thee."
Numbers 18:11 "And this [is] thine; the
heave offering of their gift, with all the
wave offerings of the children of Israel: I
have given them unto thee, and to thy sons
and to thy daughters with thee, by a
statute for ever: every one that is clean
in thy house shall eat of it."
Numbers 18:12 "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."
Numbers 18:13 "[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."
Numbers 18:14 "Every thing devoted in
Israel shall be thine."
Numbers 18:15 "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."
Numbers 18:16 "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."
Numbers 18:17 "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 savor unto the LORD."
Numbers 18:18 "And the flesh of them shall
be thine, as the wave breast and as the
right shoulder are thine."
Numbers 18:19 "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."
Numbers 18:20 "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."
Numbers 18:21 "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."
Numbers 18:22 "Neither must the children of
Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle
of the congregation, lest they bear sin,
and die."
Numbers 18:23 "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."
Numbers 18:24 "But the tithes of the
children of Israel, which they offer [as] a
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."
Numbers 18:25 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 18:26 "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 a heave offering of
it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of
the tithe."
Numbers 18:27 "And [this] your heave
offering shall be reckoned unto you, as
though [it were] the corn of the threshing
floor, and as the fullness of the
winepress."
Numbers 18:28 "Thus ye also shall offer a
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."
Numbers 18:29 "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."
Numbers 18:30 "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
threshing floor, and as the increase of the
winepress."
Numbers 18:31 "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."
Numbers 18:32 "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."
Numbers 19
Numbers Chapter 19
Numbers 19:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,"
Numbers 19:2 "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:"
Numbers 19:3 "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:"
Numbers 19:4 "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:"
Numbers 19:5 "And [one] shall burn the
heifer in his sight; her skin, and her
flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall
he burn:"
Numbers 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."
Numbers 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."
Numbers 19:8 "And he that burneth her shall
wash his clothes in water, and bathe his
flesh in water, and shall be unclean until
the even."
Numbers 19:9 "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."
Numbers 19:10 "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."
Numbers 19:11 "He that toucheth the dead
body of any man shall be unclean seven
days."
Numbers 19:12 "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."
Numbers 19:13 "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."
Numbers 19:14 "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."
Numbers 19:15 "And every open vessel, which
hath no covering bound upon it, [is]
unclean."
Numbers 19:16 "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."
Numbers 19:17 "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:"
Numbers 19:18 "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:"
Numbers 19:19 "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."
Numbers 19:20 "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."
Numbers 19:21 "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."
Numbers 19:22 "And whatsoever the unclean
[person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the
soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean
until even."

Numbers 20:1 "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."
Numbers 20:2 "And there was no water for
the congregation: and they gathered
themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron."
Numbers 20:3 "And the people chode with
Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we
had died when our brethren died before the
LORD!"
Numbers 20:4 "And why have ye brought up
the congregation of the LORD into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should
die there?"
Numbers 20:5 "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."
Numbers 20:6 "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."
Numbers 20:7 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 20:8 "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."
Numbers 20:9 "And Moses took the rod from
before the LORD, as he commanded him."
Numbers 20:10 "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?"
Numbers 20:11 "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]."
Numbers 20:12 "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."
Numbers 20:13 "This [is] the water of
Meribah, because the children of Israel
strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified
in them."
Numbers 20:14 "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:"
Numbers 20:15 "How our fathers went down
into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a
long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and
our fathers:"
Numbers 20:16 "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:"
Numbers 20:17 "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."
Numbers 20:18 "And Edom said unto him, Thou
shalt not pass by me, lest I come out
against thee with the sword."
Numbers 20:19 "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] any thing [else], go
through on my feet."
Numbers 20:20 "And he said, Thou shalt not
go through. And Edom came out against him
with much people, and with a strong hand."
Numbers 20:21 "Thus Edom refused to give
Israel passage through his border:
wherefore Israel turned away from him."
Numbers 20:22 "And the children of Israel,
[even] the whole congregation, journeyed
from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor."
Numbers 20:23 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast
of the land of Edom, saying,"
Numbers 20:24 "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."
Numbers 20:25 "Take Aaron and Eleazar his
son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:"
Numbers 20:26 "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."
Numbers 20:27 "And Moses did as the LORD
commanded: and they went up into mount Hor
in the sight of all the congregation."
Numbers 20:28 "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."

congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they
mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all
the house of Israel."

Numbers 21:1 "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."
Numbers 21:2 "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."
Numbers 21:3 "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."
Numbers 21:4 "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."
Numbers 21:5 "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."
Numbers 21:6 "And the LORD sent fiery
serpents among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel died."
Numbers 21:7 "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."
Numbers 21:8 "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."
Numbers 21:9 "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."
Numbers 21:10 "And the children of Israel
set forward, and pitched in Oboth."
Numbers 21:11 "And they journeyed from
Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the
wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward
the sunrising."
Numbers 21:12 "From thence they removed,
and pitched in the valley of Zared."
Numbers 21:13 "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."
Numbers 21:14 "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,"
Numbers 21:15 "And at the stream of the
brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of
Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab."
Numbers 21:16 "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."
Numbers 21:17 "Then Israel sang this song,
Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:"
Numbers 21:18 "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:"
Numbers 21:19 "And from Mattanah to
Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:"
Numbers 21:20 "And from Bamoth [in] the
valley that [is] in the country of Moab, to
the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward
Jeshimon."
Numbers 21:21 "And Israel sent messengers
unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,"
Numbers 21:22 "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."
Numbers 21:23 "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."
Numbers 21:24 "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."
Numbers 21:25 "And Israel took all these
cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities
of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the
villages thereof."
Numbers 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
unto Arnon."
Numbers 21:27 "Wherefore they that speak in
proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the
city of Sihon be built and prepared:"
Numbers 21:28 "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."
Numbers 21:29 "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."
Numbers 21:30 "We have shot at them;
Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we
have laid them waste even unto Nophah,
which [reacheth] unto Medeba."
Numbers 21:31 "Thus Israel dwelt in the
land of the Amorites."
Numbers 21:32 "And Moses sent to spy out
Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof,
and drove out the Amorites that [were]
there."
Numbers 21:33 "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."
Numbers 21:34 "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."
Numbers 21:35 "So they smote him, and his
sons, and all his people, until there was
none left him alive: and they possessed his
land."
Numbers 22
Numbers Chapter 22
Numbers 22:1 "And the children of Israel
set forward, and pitched in the plains of
Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho."
Numbers 22:2 "And Balak the son of Zippor
saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites."
Numbers 22:3 "And Moab was sore afraid of
the people, because they [were] many: and
Moab was distressed because of the children
of Israel."
Numbers 22:4 "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."
Numbers 22:5 "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:"
Numbers 22:6 "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."
Numbers 22:7 "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."
Numbers 22:8 "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."
Numbers 22:9 "And God came unto Balaam, and
said, What men [are] these with thee?"
Numbers 22:10 "And Balaam said unto God,
Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath
sent unto me, [saying],"
Numbers 22:11 "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."
Numbers 22:12 "And God said unto Balaam,
Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not
curse the people: for they [are] blessed."
Numbers 22:13 "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."
Numbers 22:14 "And the princes of Moab rose
up, and they went unto Balak, and said,
Balaam refuseth to come with us."
Numbers 22:15 "And Balak sent yet again
princes, more, and more honorable than
they."
Numbers 22:16 "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:"
Numbers 22:17 "For I will promote thee unto
very great honor, and I will do whatsoever
thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray
thee, curse me this people."
Numbers 22:18 "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."
Numbers 22:19 "Now therefore, I pray you,
tarry ye also here this night, that I may
know what the LORD will say unto me more."
Numbers 22:20 "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."
Numbers 22:21 "And Balaam rose up in the
morning, and saddled his ass, and went with
the princes of Moab."
Numbers 22:22 "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."
Numbers 22:23 "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."
Numbers 22:24 "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."
Numbers 22:25 "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."
Numbers 22:26 "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."
Numbers 22:27 "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."
Numbers 22:28 "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?"
Numbers 22:29 "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."
Numbers 22:30 "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."
Numbers 22:31 "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."
Numbers 22:32 "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:"
Numbers 22:33 "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."
Numbers 22:34 "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."
Numbers 22:36 "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."
Numbers 22:37 "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
honor?"
Numbers 22:38 "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."
Numbers 22:39 "And Balaam went with Balak,
and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth."
Numbers 22:40 "And Balak offered oxen and
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that [were] with him."
Numbers 22:41 "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."
Numbers 23
Numbers Chapter 23
Numbers 23:1 "And Balaam said unto Balak,
Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams."
Numbers 23:2 "And Balak did as Balaam had
spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
[every] altar a bullock and a ram."
Numbers 23:3 "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 showeth me I will tell
thee. And he went to an high place."
Numbers 23:4 "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."
Numbers 23:6 "And he returned unto him,
and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab."
Numbers 23:7 "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."
Numbers 23:8 "How shall I curse, whom God
hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
[whom] the LORD hath not defied?"
Numbers 23:9 "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."
Numbers 23:10 "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!"
Numbers 23:11 "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."
Numbers 23:12 "And he answered and said,
Must I not take heed to speak that which
the LORD hath put in my mouth?"
Numbers 23:13 "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."
Numbers 23:14 "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."
Numbers 23:15 "And he said unto Balak,
Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I
meet [the LORD] yonder."
Numbers 23:17 "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?"
Numbers 23:18 "And he took up his parable,
and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken
unto me, thou son of Zippor:"
Numbers 23:19 "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?"
Numbers 23:20 "Behold, I have received
[commandment] to bless: and he hath
blessed; and I cannot reverse it."
Numbers 23:21 "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."
Numbers 23:22 "God brought them out of
Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a
unicorn."
Numbers 23:23 "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!"
Numbers 23:24 "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."
Numbers 23:25 "And Balak said unto Balaam,
Neither curse them at all, nor bless them
at all."
Numbers 23:26 "But Balaam answered and said
unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All
that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?"
Numbers 23:27 "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."
Numbers 23:28 "And Balak brought Balaam
unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon."
Numbers 23:29 "And Balaam said unto Balak,
Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven bullocks and seven rams."
Numbers 23:30 "And Balak did as Balaam had
said, and offered a bullock and a ram on
[every] altar."
Numbers 24
Numbers Chapter 24
Numbers 24:1 "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."
Numbers 24:2 "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."
Numbers 24:3 "And he took up his parable,
and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said:"
Numbers 24:4 "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:"
Numbers 24:5 "How goodly are thy tents, O
Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O Israel!"
Numbers 24:6 "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."
Numbers 24:7 "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."
Numbers 24:8 "God brought him forth out of
Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a
unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his
enemies, and shall break their bones, and
pierce [them] through with his arrows."
Numbers 24:9 "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."
Numbers 24:10 "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."
Numbers 24:11 "Therefore now flee thou to
thy place: I thought to promote thee unto
great honor; but, lo, the LORD hath kept
thee back from honor."
Numbers 24:12 "And Balaam said unto Balak,
Spake I not also to thy messengers which
thou sentest unto me, saying,"
Numbers 24:13 "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?"
Numbers 24:14 "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."
Numbers 24:15 "And he took up his parable,
and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said:"
Numbers 24:16 "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:"
Numbers 24:17 "I shall see him, but not
now: I shall behold him, but not nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a
Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall
smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all
the children of Sheth."
Numbers 24:18 "And Edom shall be a
possession, Seir also shall be a possession
for his enemies; and Israel shall do
valiantly."
Numbers 24:19 "Out of Jacob shall come he
that shall have dominion, and shall destroy
him that remaineth of the city."
Numbers 24:20 "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."
Numbers 24:21 "And he looked on the
Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou
puttest thy nest in a rock."
Numbers 24:22 "Nevertheless the Kenite
shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive."
Numbers 24:23 "And he took up his parable,
and said, Alas, who shall live when God
doeth this!"
Numbers 24:24 "And ships [shall come] from
the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also
shall perish for ever."
Numbers 24:25 "And Balaam rose up, and went
and returned to his place: and Balak also
went his way."
Numbers 25
Numbers Chapter 25
Numbers 25:1 "And Israel abode in Shittim,
and the people began to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab."
Numbers 25:2 "And they called the people
unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their
gods."
Numbers 25:3 "And Israel joined himself
unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel."
Numbers 25:4 "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."
Numbers 25:5 "And Moses said unto the
judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor."
Numbers 25:6 "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."
Numbers 25:7 "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;"
Numbers 25:8 "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."
Numbers 25:9 "And those that died in the
plague were twenty and four thousand."
Numbers 25:10 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 25:11 "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."
Numbers 25:12 "Wherefore say, Behold, I
give unto him my covenant of peace:"
Numbers 25:13 "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."
Numbers 25:14 "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."
Numbers 25:15 "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."
Numbers 25:16 "And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 25:17 "Vex the Midianites, and
smite them:"
Numbers 25:18 "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."

it came to pass
after the plague,

saying,"

congregation of the
children of Israel,
from twenty years
old and upward,

fathers' house, all
that are able to go
to war in Israel."

with the officers
of the host, [with]
the captains over
thousands, and
captains over
hundreds, which
came from the
battle."
Numbers 31:15 "And
Moses said unto
them, Have ye saved
all the women
alive?"
Numbers 31:16
"Behold, these
caused the children
of Israel, through
the counsel of
Balaam, to commit
trespass against
the LORD in the
matter of Peor, and
there was a plague
among the
congregation of the
LORD."
Numbers 31:17 "Now
therefore kill
every male among
the little ones,
and kill every
woman that hath
known man by lying
with him."
Numbers 31:18 "But
all the women
children, that have
not known a man by
lying with him,
keep alive for
yourselves."
Numbers 31:19 "And
do ye abide without
the camp seven
days: whosoever
hath killed any
person, and
whosoever hath
touched any slain,
purify [both]
yourselves and your
captives on the
third day, and on
the seventh day."
Numbers 31:20 "And
purify all [your]
raiment, and all
that is made of
skins, and all work
of goats' [hair],
and all things made
of wood."
Numbers 31:21 "And
Eleazar the priest
said unto the men
of war which went
to the battle, This
[is] the ordinance
of the law which
the LORD commanded
Moses;"
Numbers 31:22 "Only
the gold, and the
silver, the brass,
the iron, the tin,
and the lead,"
Numbers 31:23
"Every thing that
may abide the fire,
ye shall make [it]
go through the
fire, and it shall
be clean:
nevertheless it
shall be purified
with the water of
separation: and all
that abideth not
the fire ye shall
make go through the
water."
Numbers 31:24 "And
ye shall wash your
clothes on the
seventh day, and ye
shall be clean, and
afterward ye shall
come into the
camp."
Numbers 31:25″And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,"
Numbers 31:26 "Take the sum of the prey
that was taken, [both] of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief
fathers of the congregation:"
Numbers 31:27 "And divide the prey into two
parts; between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and between
all the congregation:"
Numbers 31:28 "And levy a tribute unto the
LORD of the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of
the persons, and of the beeves, and of the
asses, and of the sheep:"
Numbers 31:29 "Take [it] of their half, and
give [it] unto Eleazar the priest, [for] a
heave offering of the LORD."
Numbers 31:30 "And of the children of
Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion
of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of
the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner
of beasts, and give them unto the Levites,
which keep the charge of the tabernacle of
the LORD."
Numbers 31:31-47 "And Moses and Eleazar the
priest did as the LORD commanded Moses."
"And the booty, [being] the rest of the
prey which the men of war had caught, was
six hundred thousand and seventy thousand
and five thousand sheep," "And threescore
and twelve thousand beeves," "And
threescore and one thousand asses," "And
thirty and two thousand persons in all, of
women that had not known man by lying with
him." "And the half, [which was] the
portion of them that went out to war, was
in number three hundred thousand and seven
and thirty thousand and five hundred
sheep:" "And the LORD'S tribute of the
sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen." "And the beeves [were] thirty and
six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute
[was] threescore and twelve." "And the
asses [were] thirty thousand and five
hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was]
threescore and one." "And the persons
[were] sixteen thousand; of which the
LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two
persons." "And Moses gave the tribute,
[which was] the LORD'S heave offering, unto
Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded
Moses." "And of the children of Israel's
half, which Moses divided from the men that
warred," "(Now the half [that pertained
unto] the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven
thousand and five hundred sheep," "And
thirty and six thousand beeves," "And
thirty thousand asses and five hundred,"
"And sixteen thousand persons;)" "Even of
the children of Israel's half, Moses took
one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of
beast, and gave them unto the Levites,
which kept the charge of the tabernacle of
the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses."
Numbers 31:48 "And the officers which
[were] over thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, came near unto Moses:"
Numbers 31:49 "And they said unto Moses,
Thy servants have taken the sum of the men
of war which [are] under our charge, and
there lacketh not one man of us."
Numbers 31:50 "We have therefore brought an
oblation for the LORD, what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and
bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to
make an atonement for our souls before the
LORD."
Numbers 31:51 "And Moses and Eleazar the
priest took the gold of them, [even] all
wrought jewels."
Numbers 31:52 "And all the gold of the
offering that they offered up to the LORD,
of the captains of thousands, and of the
captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty shekels."
Numbers 31:53 "([For] the men of war had
taken spoil, every man for himself.)"
Numbers 31:54 "And Moses and Eleazar the
priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it
into the tabernacle of the congregation,
[for] a memorial for the children of Israel
before the LORD."

Numbers Chapter 32
Numbers 32:1 "Now the children of Reuben
and the children of Gad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw the
land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead,
that, behold, the place [was] a place for
cattle;"
Numbers 32:2 "The children of Gad and the
children of Reuben came and spake unto
Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto
the princes of the congregation, saying,"
Numbers 32:3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and
Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,"
Numbers 32:4 "[Even] the country which the
LORD smote before the congregation of
Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy
servants have cattle:"
Numbers 32:5 "Wherefore, said they, if we
have found grace in thy sight, let this
land be given unto thy servants for a
possession, [and] bring us not over
Jordan."
Numbers 32:6 "And Moses said unto the
children of Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and
shall ye sit here?"
Numbers 32:7 "And wherefore discourage ye
the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD
hath given them?"
Numbers 32:8 "Thus did your fathers, when I
sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the
land."
Numbers 32:9 "For when they went up unto
the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the children
of Israel, that they should not go into the
land which the LORD had given them."
Numbers 32:10 "And the LORD'S anger was
kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying,"
Numbers 32:11 "Surely none of the men that
came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old
and upward, shall see the land which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob; because they have not wholly
followed me:"
Numbers 32:12 "Save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son
of Nun: for they have wholly followed the
LORD."
Numbers 32:13 "And the LORD'S anger was
kindled against Israel, and he made them
wander in the wilderness forty years, until
all the generation, that had done evil in
the sight of the LORD, was consumed."
Numbers 32:14 "And, behold, ye are risen up
in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger
of the LORD toward Israel."
Numbers 32:15 "For if ye turn away from
after him, he will yet again leave them in
the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all
this people."
Numbers 32:16 "And they came near unto him,
and said, We will build sheepfolds here for
our cattle, and cities for our little
ones:"
Numbers 32:17 "But we ourselves will go
ready armed before the children of Israel,
until we have brought them unto their
place: and our little ones shall dwell in
the fenced cities because of the
inhabitants of the land."
Numbers 32:18 "We will not return unto our
houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance."
Numbers 32:19 "For we will not inherit with
them on yonder side Jordan, or forward;
because our inheritance is fallen to us on
this side Jordan eastward."
Numbers 32:20 "And Moses said unto them, If
ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed
before the LORD to war,"
Numbers 32:21 "And will go all of you armed
over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath
driven out his enemies from before him,"
Numbers 32:22 "And the land be subdued
before the LORD: then afterward ye shall
return, and be guiltless before the LORD,
and before Israel; and this land shall be
your possession before the LORD."
Numbers 32:23 "But if ye will not do so,
behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out."
Numbers 32:24 "Build you cities for your
little ones, and folds for your sheep; and
do that which hath proceeded out of your
mouth."
Numbers 32:25 "And the children of Gad and
the children of Reuben spake unto Moses,
saying, Thy servants will do as my lord
commandeth."
Numbers 32:26 "Our little ones, our wives,
our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be
there in the cities of Gilead:"
Numbers 32:27 "But thy servants will pass
over, every man armed for war, before the
LORD to battle, as my lord saith."
Numbers 32:28 "So concerning them Moses
commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel:"
Numbers 32:29 "And Moses said unto them, If
the children of Gad and the children of
Reuben will pass with you over Jordan,
every man armed to battle, before the LORD,
and the land shall be subdued before you;
then ye shall give them the land of Gilead
for a possession:"
Numbers 32:30 "But if they will not pass
over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of
Canaan."
Numbers 32:31 "And the children of Gad and
the children of Reuben answered, saying, As
the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so
will we do."
Numbers 32:32 "We will pass over armed
before the LORD into the land of Canaan,
that the possession of our inheritance on
this side Jordan [may be] ours."
Numbers 32:33 "And Moses gave unto them,
[even] to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe
of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom
of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the
kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land,
with the cities thereof in the coasts,
[even] the cities of the country round
about."
Numbers 32:34 "And the children of Gad
built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,"
Numbers 32:35 "And Atroth, Shophan, and
Jaazer, and Jogbehah,"
Numbers 32:36 "And Beth-nimrah, and
Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for
sheep."
Numbers 32:37 "And the children of Reuben
built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim,"
Numbers 32:38 "And Nebo, and Baal-meon,
(their names being changed,) and Shibmah:
and gave other names unto the cities which
they builded."
Numbers 32:39 "And the children of Machir
the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which
[was] in it."
Numbers 32:40 "And Moses gave Gilead unto
Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein."
Numbers 32:41 "And Jair the son of Manasseh
went and took the small towns thereof, and
called them Havoth-jair."
Numbers 32:42 "And Nobah went and took
Kenath, and the villages thereof, and
called it Nobah, after his own name."

where his lot falleth; according to the
tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit."

the inhabitants of the land from before
you; then it shall come to pass, that those

find him without the borders of the city of
his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill
the slayer; he shall not be guilty of
blood:"
Numbers 35:28 "Because he should have
remained in the city of his refuge until
the death of the high priest: but after the
death of the high priest the slayer shall
return into the land of his possession."
Numbers 35:29 "So these [things] shall be
for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your
dwellings."
Numbers 35:30 "Whoso killeth any person,
the murderer shall be put to death by the
mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall
not testify against any person [to cause
him] to die."
Numbers 35:31 "Moreover ye shall take no
satisfaction for the life of a murderer,
which [is] guilty of death: but he shall be
surely put to death."
Numbers 35:32 "And ye shall take no
satisfaction for him that is fled to the
city of his refuge, that he should come
again to dwell in the land, until the death
of the priest."
Numbers 35:33 "So ye shall not pollute the
land wherein ye [are]: for blood it
defileth the land: and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that is shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it."
Numbers 35:34 "Defile not therefore the
land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the
children of Israel."
Numbers 36
Numbers Chapter 36
Numbers 36:1 "And the chief fathers of the
families of the children of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of the sons of Joseph, came near,
and spake before Moses, and before the
princes, the chief fathers of the children
of Israel:"
Numbers 36:2 "And they said, The LORD
commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of
Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad
our brother unto his daughters."
Numbers 36:3 "And if they be married to any
of the sons of the [other] tribes of the
children of Israel, then shall their
inheritance be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken from the lot
of our inheritance."
Numbers 36:4 "And when the jubilee of the
children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be
taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers."
Numbers 36:5 "And Moses commanded the
children of Israel according to the word of
the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of
Joseph hath said well."
Numbers 36:6 "This [is] the thing which the
LORD doth command concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to
whom they think best; only to the family of
the tribe of their father shall they
marry."
Numbers 36:7 "So shall not the inheritance
of the children of Israel remove from tribe
to tribe: for every one of the children of
Israel shall keep himself to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers."
Numbers 36:8 "And every daughter, that
possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of
the children of Israel, shall be wife unto
one of the family of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Israel may
enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers."
Numbers 36:9 "Neither shall the inheritance
remove from [one] tribe to another tribe;
but every one of the tribes of the children
of Israel shall keep himself to his own
inheritance."
Numbers 36:10 "Even as the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:"
Numbers 36:11 "For Mahlah, Tirzah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, were married unto their
father's brothers' sons:"
Numbers 36:12 "[And] they were married into
the families of the sons of Manasseh the
son of Joseph, and their inheritance
remained in the tribe of the family of
their father."
Numbers 36:13 "These [are] the commandments
and the judgments, which the LORD commanded
by the hand of Moses unto the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
[near] Jericho."
