- 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?”

- 16:36
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 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.
- 16:41
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
- 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.
- 16:43
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
- 16:44
and the LORD said to Moses,
- 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.”
- 16:47
So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
- 16:50
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
- 17:1
And the LORD said to Moses,
- 17:6
So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.
- 17:7
Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
- 17:8
The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.
- 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.
- 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.”
- 17:11
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.
- 17:12
Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!
- 18:25
And the LORD instructed Moses,
- 19:1
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
- 20:2
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
- 20:3
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
- 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.
- 20:7
And the LORD said to Moses,
- 20:9
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
- 20:10
Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
- 20:11
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
- 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.”
- 20:14
From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
- 20:23
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
- 20:27
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
- 20:28
After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
- 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!”
- 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.
- 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.”
- 21:9
So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.
- 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.”
- 21:32
After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
- 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.”
- 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.”
- 25:5
So Moses told the judges of Israel, “Each of you must kill all of his men who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
- 25:6
Just then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and the whole congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
- 25:10
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 25:16
And the LORD said to Moses,
- 26:1
After the plague had ended, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
- 26:3
So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest issued the instruction,
- 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:
- 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.
- 26:52
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 26:59
and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.
- 26:63
These were the ones numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.
- 26:64
Among all these, however, there was not one who had been numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai.
- 27:2
the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
- 27:5
So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
- 27:6
and the LORD answered him,
- 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.’”
- 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.
- 27:15
So Moses appealed to the LORD,
- 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.
- 27:22
Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
- 27:23
and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
- 28:1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 29:40
So Moses spoke all this to the Israelites just as the LORD had commanded him.
- 30:1
Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
- 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.
- 31:1
And the LORD said to Moses,
- 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.
- 31:6
And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
- 31:7
Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
- 31:12
They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
- 31:13
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
- 31:14
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
- 31:15
“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
- 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:
- 31:25
The LORD said to Moses,
- 31:31
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
- 31:41
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
- 31:42
From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
- 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.
- 31:48
Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
- 31:49
and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
- 31:51
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
- 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.
- 32:2
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
- 32:6
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
- 32:20
Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
- 32:25
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
- 32:28
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
- 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.
- 32:33
So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
- 32:40
So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
- 33:1
These are the journeys of the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt by their divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
- 33:2
At the LORD’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:
- 33:50
On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,
- 34:1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 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.
- 34:16
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 35:1
Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
- 35:9
Then the LORD said to Moses,
- 36:1
Now the family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one of the clans of Joseph, approached Moses and the leaders who were the heads of the Israelite families and addressed them,
- 36:5
So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.
- 36:10
So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
- 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.
