And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai, in the Tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt,

For the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by their fathers' houses.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,

So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.

And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.

So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses, Let every chief on his day give his offering to make the altar holy.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.

And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.

And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle.

Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.

And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!

Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.

And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of meeting. And the three of them went out.

And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.

And Moses, crying to the Lord, said, Let my prayer come before you, O God, and make her well.

And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.

And the Lord said to Moses,

So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;

And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

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

And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.

Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.

But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.

And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.

And the Lord said to Moses,

They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?

And he said to Korah and his band, In the morning the Lord will make clear who are his, and who is holy, and who may come near him: the man of his selection will be caused to come near him.

And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, you sons of Levi:

Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:

Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, Give no attention to their offering: not one of their asses have I taken, or done wrong to any of them.

And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?

And the Lord said to Moses,

And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.

And all Israel round about them went in flight at their cry, For fear, said they, that we go down into the heart of the earth.

And the Lord said to Moses,

To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.

And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.

For the tenths which the children of Israel give as a lifted offering to the Lord I have given to the Levites as their heritage. and so I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
