22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains
of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites.
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and
Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab,
hath sent unto me, saying,
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.
12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt
not curse the people: for they are blessed.
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.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and
said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than
they.
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:
17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do
whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me
this people.
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.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I
may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
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.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went
with the princes of Moab.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but
only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So
Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
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.
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 honour?
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.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that were with him.
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. |

23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
every altar a bullock and a ram.
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
sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
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.
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab.
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.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom the LORD hath not defied?
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.
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!
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.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which
the LORD hath put in my mouth?
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.
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.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I
meet the LORD yonder.
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go
again unto Balak, and say thus.
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?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
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?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed;
and I cannot reverse it.
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.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of
an unicorn.
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!
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.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless
them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying,
All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
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.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare
me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram
on every altar. |

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.
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.
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:
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:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
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.
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.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall
break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
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.
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.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee
unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
which thou sentest unto me, saying,
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?
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.
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:
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:
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 Sceptre shall rise out of
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the
children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for
his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.
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.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God
doeth this!
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.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak
also went his way. |

25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and
the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled against Israel.
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.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men
that were joined unto Baal-peor.
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.
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;
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.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
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.
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.
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.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
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. |

2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all that
are able to go to war in Israel.
3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according
to the number of names.
54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt
give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given
according to those that were numbered of him.

names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not
numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no
inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho.
64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron
the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the
wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the
wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son
of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. |

27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son
of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company
of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession
among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them
a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou
shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto
his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he
shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a
statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy
people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over
the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a
man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel
for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall
they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and
set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses. |

28:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and
my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire
which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year
without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb
shalt thou offer at even;
5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai
for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin
for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine
to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of
the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a
sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and
two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and
the drink offering thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual
burnt offering, and his drink offering.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs
of the first year without spot;
12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat
offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;
13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of
an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month
throughout the months of the year.
15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD.
17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days
shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no
manner of servile work therein:
19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the
first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three
tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a
ram;
21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout
the seven lambs:
22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning,
which is for a continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his
drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work.
26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat
offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.

meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their
drink offerings. |

30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all
that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul
shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any
of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall
stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed
her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought
out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that
he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she
bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then
he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD
shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith
they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath;
11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed
her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she
bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard
them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows,
or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath
made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband
may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to
day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are
upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the
day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a
man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in
her youth in her father's house. |

31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt
thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto
the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD
of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel,
shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand
of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy
instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings
of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all
their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of
beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by
Jordan near Jericho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from
the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
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.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
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.
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.
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;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and
the lead,
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.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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:
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:
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:
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD.
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.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 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,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not
known man by lying with him.
36 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:
37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore
and fifteen.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute
was thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering,
unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the
men that warred,
43(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred
sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
47 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.
48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
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.
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.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels.
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.
53(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
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. |

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;
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,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh,
and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
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.
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?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see
the land.
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.
10 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying,
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:
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of
Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
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.
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.
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.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
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.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel
have inherited every man his inheritance.
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.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the LORD to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he
hath driven out his enemies from before him,
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.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep;
and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall
be there in the cities of Gilead:
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before
the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
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:
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:
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
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.
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.
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

33:1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went
forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of
Moses and Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to
their goings out.
3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth
day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children
of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the
Egyptians.
4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had
smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth.
6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in
the edge of the wilderness.
7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth,
which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in
the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were
twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they
pitched there.
10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness
of Sin.
12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and
encamped in Dophkah.
13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no
water for the people to drink.
15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of
Sinai.
16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibroth-hattaavah.
17 And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.

22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
24 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
32 And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
33 And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
36 And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of
Zin, which is Kadesh.
37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge
of the land of Edom.
38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of
the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of
Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the
fifth month.
39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he
died in mount Hor.
40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land
of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the
border of Moab.
45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
46 And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
47 And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim
in the plains of Moab.
50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying,
51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before
you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten
images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell
therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to
the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance
shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes
of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain
of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and
shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I
thought to do unto them. |

34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by
the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of
the salt sea eastward:
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim,
and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the
south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to
Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of
Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for
a border: this shall be your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall
point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it
shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east
side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the
side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it
shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts
thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the
land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give
unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of
their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the
house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the
tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance
on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto
you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son
of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children
of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan
the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel
the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the
son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel
the son of Ammihud.

unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. |

35:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of
the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall
give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them
shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their
beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits
round about.
5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the
west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand
cubits and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the
suburbs of the cities.
6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there
shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the
manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty
and two cities.
7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty
and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the
children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but
from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his
cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he
inheriteth.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you;
that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at
unawares.
12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that
the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in
judgment.
13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have
for refuge.
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of
Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that
every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may
die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death.
19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait,
that he die;
21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger
of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him
any thing without laying of wait,
23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and
cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought
his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments:
25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of
the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto
the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the
city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
27 And the revenger of blood 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:
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.
29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

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:
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.
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.
4 And when the jubile 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad:
11 For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
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.
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. |
