  1. 1:1

    On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:

  2. 1:19

    just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:

  3. 1:48

    For the LORD had said to Moses:

  4. 1:54

    Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  5. 2:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

  6. 2:33

    But the Levites were not counted among the other Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  7. 2:34

    So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped under their standards in this way and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.

  8. 3:1

    This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

  9. 3:4

    Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

  10. 3:5

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  11. 3:11

    Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

  12. 3:13

    for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”

  13. 3:14

    Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,

  14. 3:16

    So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.

  15. 3:39

    The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.

  16. 3:40

    Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.

  17. 3:41

    You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”

  18. 3:42

    So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.

  19. 3:44

    Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

  20. 3:45

    “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

  21. 3:51

    And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

  22. 4:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  23. 4:17

    Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  24. 4:21

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  25. 4:37

    These were counted from the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron numbered them according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

  26. 4:41

    These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.

  27. 4:45

    These were counted from the Merarite clans, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the LORD’s command through Moses.

  28. 4:49

    At the LORD’s command through Moses they were numbered, and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  29. 5:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  30. 5:4

    So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.

  31. 5:5

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  32. 5:6

    “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by committing any sin against another, that person is guilty

  33. 5:8

    But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.

  34. 5:11

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  35. 5:16

    The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.

  36. 5:18

    After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.

  37. 5:21

    and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.

  38. 5:25

    The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.

  39. 5:30

    or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.

  40. 6:1

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  41. 6:2

    “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,

  42. 6:5

    For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. He must be holy until the time of his separation to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long.

  43. 6:6

    Throughout the days of his separation to the LORD, he must not go near a dead body.

  44. 6:7

    Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to defile himself, because the symbol of consecration to his God is upon his head.

  45. 6:8

    Throughout the time of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.

  46. 6:12

    He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.

  47. 6:14

    and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—

  48. 6:16

    The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.

  49. 6:17

    He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.

  50. 6:20

    The priest shall then wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. This is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

  51. 6:21

    This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes, according to the law of his separation.”

  52. 6:22

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  53. 6:24

    ‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;

  54. 6:25

    may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

  55. 6:26

    may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’

  56. 7:3

    They brought as their offering before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two leaders—and presented them before the tabernacle.

  57. 7:4

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  58. 7:11

    And the LORD said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to present his offering for the dedication of the altar.”

  59. 8:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  60. 8:3

    And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  61. 8:4

    This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.

  62. 8:5

    Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

  63. 8:10

    You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.

  64. 8:11

    Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD.

  65. 8:12

    And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.

  66. 8:13

    You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.

  67. 8:20

    So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.

  68. 8:21

    The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.

  69. 8:22

    After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  70. 8:23

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  71. 9:1

    In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:

  72. 9:5

    and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  73. 9:7

    and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

  74. 9:8

    “Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.

  75. 9:9

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  76. 9:10

    “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.

  77. 9:13

    But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.

  78. 9:14

    If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”

  79. 9:18

    At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.

  80. 9:19

    Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.

  81. 9:20

    Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.

  82. 9:23

    They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.

  83. 10:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  84. 10:9

    When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

  85. 10:10

    And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

  86. 10:13

    They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

  87. 10:29

    Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

  88. 10:32

    If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

  89. 10:33

    So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

  90. 10:34

    And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

  91. 10:35

    Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

  92. 10:36

    And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”

  93. 11:1

    Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

  94. 11:2

    And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.

  95. 11:3

    So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.

  96. 11:10

    Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.

  97. 11:11

    So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?

  98. 11:16

    Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.

  99. 11:18

    And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.

  100. 11:20

    but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”

  101. 11:23

    The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”

  102. 11:24

    So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

  103. 11:25

    Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.

  104. 11:29

    But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”

  105. 11:31

    Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.

  106. 11:33

    But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.

  107. 12:2

    “Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.

  108. 12:4

    And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,

  109. 12:5

    and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,

  110. 12:6

    He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

  111. 12:8

    I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

  112. 12:9

    So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

  113. 12:13

    So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”

  114. 12:14

    But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

  115. 13:1

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  116. 13:3

    So at the command of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,

  117. 14:2

    All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

  118. 14:3

    Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

  119. 14:8

    If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.

  120. 14:9

    Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”

  121. 14:10

    But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.

  122. 14:11

    And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?

  123. 14:13

    But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.

  124. 14:14

    And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

  125. 14:16

    ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’

  126. 14:17

    So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:

  127. 14:18

    ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’

  128. 14:20

    “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.

  129. 14:21

    “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,

  130. 14:26

    Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  131. 14:28

    So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

  132. 14:35

    I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”

  133. 14:37

    those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.

  134. 14:40

    Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”

  135. 14:41

    But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!

  136. 14:42

    Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.

  137. 14:43

    For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”

  138. 14:44

    But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.

  139. 15:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  140. 15:3

    and you present a food offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—

  141. 15:4

    then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

  142. 15:7

    and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

  143. 15:8

    When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

  144. 15:10

    Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

  145. 15:13

    Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

  146. 15:14

    And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.

  147. 15:15

    The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.

  148. 15:17

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  149. 15:19

    and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

  150. 15:21

    Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

  151. 15:22

    Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

  152. 15:23

    all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

  153. 15:24

    and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

  154. 15:25

    The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD a food offering and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.

  155. 15:28

    And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

  156. 15:30

    But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

  157. 15:31

    He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

  158. 15:35

    And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

  159. 15:36

    So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  160. 15:37

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  161. 15:39

    These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

  162. 15:40

    Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

  163. 15:41

    I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”

  164. 16:3

    They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”

  165. 16:5

    Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses He will bring near to Himself.

  166. 16:7

    and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”

  167. 16:9

    Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

  168. 16:11

    Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”

  169. 16:15

    Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

  170. 16:16

    And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.

  171. 16:17

    Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”

  172. 16:19

    When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.

  173. 16:20

    And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  174. 16:22

    But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”

  175. 16:23

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  176. 16:28

    Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:

  177. 16:29

    If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.

  178. 16:30

    But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.”

  179. 16:35

    And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

  180. 16:36

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  181. 16:38

    As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”

  182. 16:40

    just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.

  183. 16:41

    The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”

  184. 16:42

    But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.

  185. 16:44

    and the LORD said to Moses,

  186. 16:46

    Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”

  187. 17:1

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  188. 17:7

    Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.

  189. 17:9

    Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.

  190. 17:10

    The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”

  191. 17:11

    So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.

  192. 17:13

    Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”

  193. 18:1

    So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.

  194. 18:6

    Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.

  195. 18:8

    Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.

  196. 18:12

    I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.

  197. 18:13

    The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.

  198. 18:15

    The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.

  199. 18:17

    But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to splatter their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

  200. 18:19

    All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”

  201. 18:20

    Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

  202. 18:24

    For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”

  203. 18:25

    And the LORD instructed Moses,

  204. 18:26

    “Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.

  205. 18:28

    So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.

  206. 18:29

    You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’

  207. 19:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  208. 19:2

    “This is the statute of the law that the LORD has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red heifer that has no defect and has never been placed under a yoke.

  209. 19:13

    Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of purification has not been sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.

  210. 19:20

    But if a person who is unclean does not purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.

  211. 20:3

    The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!

  212. 20:4

    Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?

  213. 20:6

    Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

  214. 20:7

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  215. 20:9

    So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.

  216. 20:12

    But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

  217. 20:13

    These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.

  218. 20:16

    and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.

  219. 20:23

    And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

  220. 20:27

    So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.

  221. 21:2

    So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”

  222. 21:3

    And the LORD heard Israel’s plea and delivered up the Canaanites. Israel devoted them and their cities to destruction; so they named the place Hormah.

  223. 21:5

    and spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”

  224. 21:6

    So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.

  225. 21:7

    Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.

  226. 21:8

    Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.”

  227. 21:14

    Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,

  228. 21:16

    From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people so that I may give them water.”

  229. 21:34

    But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

  230. 22:8

    “Spend the night here,” Balaam replied, “and I will give you the answer that the LORD speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

  231. 22:9

    Then God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?”

  232. 22:10

    And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:

  233. 22:12

    But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”

  234. 22:13

    So Balaam got up the next morning and said to Balak’s princes, “Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused to let me go with you.”

  235. 22:18

    But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.

  236. 22:19

    So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”

  237. 22:20

    That night God came to Balaam and said, “Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them, but you must only do what I tell you.”

  238. 22:22

    Then God’s anger was kindled because Balaam was going along, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

  239. 22:23

    When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the path and went into a field. So Balaam beat her to return her to the path.

  240. 22:24

    Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow passage between two vineyards, with walls on either side.

  241. 22:25

    And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD and pressed herself against the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat her once again.

  242. 22:26

    And the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn to the right or left.

  243. 22:27

    When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he became furious and beat her with his staff.

  244. 22:28

    Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

  245. 22:31

    Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand. And Balaam bowed low and fell facedown.

  246. 22:32

    The angel of the LORD asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to oppose you, because your way is perverse before me.

  247. 22:34

    “I have sinned,” Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, “for I did not realize that you were standing in the road to confront me. And now, if this is displeasing in your sight, I will go back home.”

  248. 22:35

    But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you are to speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

  249. 22:38

    “See, I have come to you,” Balaam replied, “but can I say just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”

  250. 23:3

    “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,

  251. 23:4

    and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”

  252. 23:5

    Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”

  253. 23:8

    How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?

  254. 23:12

    But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”

  255. 23:15

    Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”

  256. 23:16

    And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”

  257. 23:17

    So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.

  258. 23:19

    God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

  259. 23:21

    He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.

  260. 23:22

    God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.

  261. 23:23

    For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’

  262. 23:26

    But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

  263. 23:27

    “Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.”

  264. 24:1

    And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not seek omens as on previous occasions, but he turned his face toward the wilderness.

  265. 24:2

    When Balaam looked up and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him,

  266. 24:4

    the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

  267. 24:6

    They spread out like palm groves, like gardens beside a stream, like aloes the LORD has planted, like cedars beside the waters.

  268. 24:8

    God brought him out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox, to devour hostile nations and crush their bones, to pierce them with arrows.

  269. 24:11

    Therefore, flee at once to your home! I said I would reward you richly, but instead the LORD has denied your reward.”

  270. 24:13

    that even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD? I must speak whatever the LORD says.

  271. 24:16

    the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

  272. 24:23

    Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Ah, who can live unless God has ordained it?

  273. 25:3

    So Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD burned against them.

  274. 25:4

    Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that His fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”

  275. 25:10

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  276. 25:13

    It will be a covenant of permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”

  277. 25:16

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  278. 26:1

    After the plague had ended, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,

  279. 26:4

    “Take a census of the men twenty years of age or older, as the LORD has commanded Moses.” And these were the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt:

  280. 26:9

    and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the congregation, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah who rebelled against the LORD.

  281. 26:52

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  282. 26:61

    but Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD.

  283. 26:65

    For the LORD had told them that they would surely die in the wilderness. Not one was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

  284. 27:3

    “Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.

  285. 27:5

    So Moses brought their case before the LORD,

  286. 27:6

    and the LORD answered him,

  287. 27:11

    And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”

  288. 27:12

    Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.

  289. 27:15

    So Moses appealed to the LORD,

  290. 27:16

    “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation

  291. 27:17

    who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

  292. 27:18

    And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

  293. 27:21

    He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”

  294. 27:22

    Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,

  295. 27:23

    and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.

  296. 28:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  297. 28:3

    And tell them that this is the food offering you are to present to the LORD as a regular burnt offering each day: two unblemished year-old male lambs.

  298. 28:6

    This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

  299. 28:7

    The drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area.

  300. 28:8

    And offer the second lamb at twilight, with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

  301. 28:11

    At the beginning of every month, you are to present to the LORD a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

  302. 28:13

    and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each lamb. This is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

  303. 28:15

    In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering.

  304. 28:16

    The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover.

  305. 28:19

    Present to the LORD a food offering, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished.

  306. 28:24

    Offer the same food each day for seven days as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is to be offered with its drink offering and the regular burnt offering.

  307. 28:26

    On the day of firstfruits, when you present an offering of new grain to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

  308. 28:27

    Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old as a pleasing aroma to the LORD,

  309. 29:2

    As a pleasing aroma to the LORD, you are to present a burnt offering of one young bull, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

  310. 29:6

    These are in addition to the monthly and daily burnt offerings with their prescribed grain offerings and drink offerings. They are a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

  311. 29:8

    Present as a pleasing aroma to the LORD a burnt offering of one young bull, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

  312. 29:12

    On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work, and you shall observe a feast to the LORD for seven days.

  313. 29:13

    As a pleasing aroma to the LORD, you are to present a food offering, a burnt offering of thirteen young bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

  314. 29:36

    As a pleasing aroma to the LORD, you are to present a food offering, a burnt offering of one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

  315. 29:39

    You are to present these offerings to the LORD at your appointed times, in addition to your vow and freewill offerings, whether burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings, or peace offerings.”

  316. 29:40

    So Moses spoke all this to the Israelites just as the LORD had commanded him.

  317. 30:1

    Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

  318. 30:2

    If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.

  319. 30:3

    And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,

  320. 30:5

    But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

  321. 30:8

    But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.

  322. 30:12

    But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

  323. 30:16

    These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.

  324. 31:1

    And the LORD said to Moses,

  325. 31:3

    So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.

  326. 31:7

    Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

  327. 31:16

    “Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.

  328. 31:21

    Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:

  329. 31:25

    The LORD said to Moses,

  330. 31:28

    Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.

  331. 31:29

    Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.

  332. 31:30

    From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”

  333. 31:31

    So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,

  334. 31:37

    including a tribute to the LORD of 675,

  335. 31:38

    36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,

  336. 31:39

    30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,

  337. 31:40

    and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.

  338. 31:41

    Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  339. 31:47

    From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

  340. 31:50

    So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”

  341. 31:52

    All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.

  342. 31:54

    And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.

  343. 32:4

    which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”

  344. 32:7

    Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?

  345. 32:9

    For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.

  346. 32:10

    So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,

  347. 32:12

    not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’

  348. 32:13

    The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.

  349. 32:14

    Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

  350. 32:20

    Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,

  351. 32:21

    and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,

  352. 32:22

    then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.

  353. 32:23

    But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

  354. 32:27

    But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

  355. 32:29

    And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

  356. 32:31

    The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.

  357. 32:32

    We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”

  358. 33:2

    At the LORD’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:

  359. 33:4

    who were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down among them; for the LORD had executed judgment against their gods.

  360. 33:38

    At the LORD’s command, Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month, in the fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt.

  361. 33:50

    On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,

  362. 34:1

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  363. 34:13

    So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

  364. 34:16

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  365. 34:29

    These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

  366. 35:1

    Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:

  367. 35:9

    Then the LORD said to Moses,

  368. 35:34

    Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”

  369. 36:2

    saying, “When the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, He also commanded him to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.

  370. 36:5

    So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.

  371. 36:6

    This is what the LORD has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.

  372. 36:10

    So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

  373. 36:13

    These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
