Numbers 13

1

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2

Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.

3

And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.

4

And these are their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

5

for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

6

for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

7

for the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

8

for the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;

9

for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

10

for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

11

for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

12

for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

13

for the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

14

for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

15

for the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16

These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.

17

And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,

18

and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;

19

and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;

20

and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.

21

And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.

22

And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

23

And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

24

That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.

25

And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.

26

And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.

27

And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

28

Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

29

Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.

30

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.

31

But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

32

And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;

33

and there have we seen giants -- the sons of Anak are of the giants -- and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.

Numbers 14

1

And the whole assembly lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole assembly said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would that we had died!

3

And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?

4

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return to Egypt.

5

Then Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces before the whole congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel.

6

And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of them that searched out the land, rent their garments.

7

And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it out, is a very, very good land.

8

If Jehovah delight in us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us, a land that flows with milk and honey;

9

only rebel not against Jehovah; and fear not the people of the land; for they shall be our food. Their defence is departed from them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.

10

And the whole assembly said that they should be stoned with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel.

11

And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe me, for all the signs which I have done among them?

12

I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.

13

And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the midst of them;

14

and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land, [who] have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;

15

if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the nations that have heard thy fame will speak, saying,

16

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore slain them in the wilderness.

17

And now, I beseech thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

18

Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth [generation].

19

Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

20

And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word.

21

But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah!

22

for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,

23

shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their fathers: none of them that despised me shall see it.

24

But my servant Caleb, because he hath another spirit in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he came; and his seed shall possess it.

25

(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, on the way to the Red sea.

26

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

27

How long [shall I bear] with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

28

Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!

29

In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upwards, who have murmured against me,

30

shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31

But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that ye have despised.

32

And as to you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.

33

And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

34

After the number of the days in which ye have searched out the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement [from you].

35

I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it unto all this evil assembly which have gathered together against me! in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

36

And the men whom Moses had sent to search out the land, who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land,

37

even those men who had brought up an evil report upon the land, died by a plague before Jehovah.

38

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, lived still of the men that had gone to search out the land.

39

And Moses told all these sayings to all the children of Israel; then the people mourned greatly.

40

And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the hill-top, saying, Here are we, and we will go up to the place of which Jehovah has spoken; for we have sinned.

41

And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah? but it shall not prosper!

42

Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies;

43

for the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; for as ye have turned away from Jehovah, Jehovah will not be with you.

44

Yet they presumed to go up to the hill-top; but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart from the midst of the camp.

45

And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt on that hill, came down and smote them, and cut them to pieces, as far as Hormah.

Numbers 15

1

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of your dwellings, which I give unto you,

3

and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or as a voluntary offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet odour to Jehovah, of the herd or of the flock,

4

then shall he that presenteth his offering to Jehovah bring as oblation a tenth part of fine flour mingled with a fourth part of a hin of oil;

5

and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin with the burnt-offering, or with the sacrifice, for one lamb.

6

And for a ram thou shalt offer as oblation two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, a third part of a hin,

7

and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the third part of a hin; for a sweet odour to Jehovah.

8

And when thou offerest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or for a peace-offering to Jehovah,

9

then shall they present with the bullock as oblation three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil;

10

and of wine shalt thou present half a hin, for a drink-offering, as an offering by fire, of a sweet odour to Jehovah.

11

Thus shall it be done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or for a kid;

12

according to the number that ye offer, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

13

And all that are born in the land shall do these things thus, in presenting an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah.

14

And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah, -- as ye do, so shall he do.

15

As to the congregation, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an everlasting statute throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be, before Jehovah.

16

One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

18

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

19

then it shall be, when ye eat of the bread of the land, that ye shall offer a heave-offering to Jehovah;

20

the first of your dough shall ye offer, a cake, for a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye offer this.

21

Of the first of your dough ye shall give to Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.

22

And if ye sin inadvertently, and do not all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,

23

all that Jehovah hath commanded you through Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and henceforward throughout your generations;

24

then it shall be, if ought be committed by inadvertence [hid] from the eyes of the assembly, that the whole assembly shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet odour to Jehovah, and its oblation and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering.

25

And the priest shall make atonement for the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it was a sin of inadvertence, and they have brought before Jehovah their offering, as an offering by fire to Jehovah, and their sin-offering for their [sin of] inadvertence;

26

and it shall be forgiven the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for with all the people there was [a sin of] inadvertence.

27

And if one soul sin through inadvertence, then he shall present a yearling she-goat for a sin-offering.

28

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that hath done inadvertently, when he sinneth by inadvertence before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

29

For him that is born in the land among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them -- there shall be one law for you, for him who doeth anything through inadvertence.

30

But the soul that doeth ought with a high hand, whether born in the land, or a stranger, he reproacheth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31

For he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment: that soul shall surely be cut off; his iniquity is upon him.

32

And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.

33

And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole assembly.

34

And they put him in custody, for it was not declared what should be done to him.

35

And Jehovah said to Moses, The man shall certainly be put to death: the whole assembly shall stone him with stones outside the camp.

36

And the whole assembly led him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

37

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

38

Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them tassels on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations, and that they attach to the tassel of the corners a lace of blue;

39

and it shall be unto you for a tassel, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye seek not after [the lusts of] your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye go a whoring;

40

that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41

I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.

Numbers 16

1

And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and [with him] Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;

2

and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;

3

and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?

4

When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.

5

And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.

6

This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,

7

and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!

8

And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!

9

Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?

10

-- that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?

11

For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?

12

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!

13

Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?

14

Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!

15

Then Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

16

And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.

17

And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.

18

And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.

19

And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.

20

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

21

Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.

22

And they fell on their faces, and said, O łGod, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?

23

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

24

Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25

And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26

And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.

27

And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

28

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:

29

if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;

30

but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.

31

And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.

32

And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.

33

And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.

34

And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!

35

And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.

36

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

37

Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,

38

the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

39

And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

40

as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, -- as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.

41

And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.

42

And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.

43

And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

44

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

45

Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.

46

And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.

47

And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.

48

And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

49

Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.

50

And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
