And the LORD said unto Moses, "Number all the firstborn that are males among the children of Israel, from a month old and above, and take the number of their names.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Let the princes bring their offerings, every day one prince, unto the dedicating of the altar."

and said, "We are defiled upon a dead corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering unto the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel?"

And Moses said unto them, "Tarry, that I may hear what the LORD will command you."

And Moses said unto Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We go unto the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it you.' Go with us and we will do thee good, for the LORD hath promised good unto Israel."

And he said unto him, "I will not: but will go to mine own land and to my kindred."

And Moses said, "Oh nay, leave us not, for thou knowest where is best for us to pitch in the wilderness: and thou shalt be our eyes.

And when the ark went forth, Moses said, "Rise up LORD and let thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee flee before thee."

And when the ark rested, he said, "Return LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."

And the rascal people that was among them fell a lusting. And the children of Israel also went to, and wept, and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat?

And Moses said unto the LORD, "Wherefore dealest thou so cruelly with thy servant? Wherefore do I not find favour in thy sight, seeing that thou puttest the weight of this people upon me?

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto me seventy of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness, and let them stand there with thee.

And Moses said, "Six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast said, 'I will give them flesh and they shall eat a month long.'

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Is the LORD's hand waxed short? Thou shalt see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

And there ran a young man and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the host."

And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses which he had chosen out, answered and said, "Master Moses, forbid them."

And Moses said unto him, "Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the LORD's people could prophesy, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them."

And they said, "Doth the LORD speak only through Moses? Doth he not speak also by us?" And the LORD heard it.

And he said, "Hear my words. If there be a prophet of the LORD's among you, I will show myself unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

he said unto Moses, "Oh I beseech thee my lord, put not the sin upon us which we have foolishly committed and sinned.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the host seven days, and after that let her be received in again."

And Moses sent them forth to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, "Get you southward and go up into the high country:

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

and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness.

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

And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them?

And Moses said unto the LORD, "Then the Egyptians shall hear it, for thou broughtest this people with thy might from among them.

And the LORD said, "I have forgiven it, according to thy request.

And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused,

I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die."

And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned."

And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass:

And the LORD said unto Moses, "The man shall die: let all the multitude stone him with stones without the host."

And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "Ye have done enough. For all the multitude are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why therefore heave ye yourselves up above the congregation of the LORD?"

And Moses said unto Korah, "Hear, ye children of Levi:

And Moses waxed very angry and said unto the LORD, "Turn not unto their offerings. I have not taken so much as an ass from them, neither have vexed any of them."

Then Moses said unto Korah, "Be thou and all thy company before the LORD: both thou, they, and Aaron tomorrow.

And they fell upon their faces, and said, "O most mighty God of the spirits of all flesh; one man hath sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?"

And Moses said, "Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind:

And all Israel that were about them, fled at the cry of them. For they said, "The earth might haply swallow us also."

to be a remembrance unto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer cense before the LORD, that he be not made like unto Korah and his company: as the LORD said unto him by the hand of Moses.

And Moses said unto Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire therein out of the altar, and pour on cense, and go quickly unto the congregation and make an atonement for them. For there is wrath gone out from the LORD, and there is a plague begun."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Bring Aaron's rod again before the witness to be kept for a token unto the children of rebellion, that their murmurings may cease from me, that they die not."

And the LORD said unto Aaron, "Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee, shall bear the fault of that which is done amiss in the holy place. And thou and thy sons with thee, shall bear the fault of that which is done amiss in your priesthood.

For the tithes of the children of Israel which they heave unto the LORD, I have given the Levites to inherit. Wherefore I have said unto them, 'Among the children of Israel ye shall inherit none inheritance.'"

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, "Hear, ye rebellious, must we fetch you water out of this rock?"

And the children of Israel said unto him, "We will go by the beaten way: and if either we or our cattle drink of thy water, we will pay for it, we will do no more but pass through by foot only."

And he said, "Ye shall not go through." And Edom came out against him with much people and with a mighty power.

Then Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD and said, "If thou wilt give this people into our hands, we will destroy their cities."

And the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against thee: make intercession to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." And Moses made intercession for the people.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Make thee a serpent and hang it up for a sign, and let as many as are bitten look upon it and they shall live."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sihon, the king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon."

And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, "Now this company hath licked up all that are round about us, as an ox licketh up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

And he said unto them, "Tarry here all night and I will bring you word, even as the LORD shall say unto me." And the lords of Moab abode with Balaam.

And God came unto Balaam, and said, "What men are these which are with thee?"

And Balaam said unto God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

And God said unto Balaam, "Thou shalt not go with them, neither curse the people: for they are blessed."

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the lords of Balak, "Get you unto your land, for the LORD will not suffer me to go with you."

And the lords of Moab rose up and went unto Balak and said, "Balaam would not come with us."

And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can go no further than the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

And God came to Balaam by night and said unto him, "If the men come to fetch thee, rise up and go with them: but what I say unto thee, that only thou shalt do."

And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, "What have I done unto thee, that thou smitest me thus three times?"

And Balaam said unto the Ass, "Because thou hast mocked me! I would that I had a sword in mine hand, that I might now kill thee."

And the ass said unto Balaam, "Am not I thine ass which thou hast ridden upon since thou wast born unto this day? Was I ever wont to do so unto thee?" And he said, "Nay."

And the angel of the LORD said unto him, "Wherefore smitest thou thine ass this three times? Behold, I came out to resist thee, for the way is contrary unto me,

And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me. Now therefore if it displease thine eyes, I will turn again."

And the angel said unto Balaam, "Go with the men: but in any wise, what I say unto thee, that say." And Balaam went with the lords of Balak.

And Balak said unto Balaam, "Did I not send for thee, to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not unto me? Thinkest thou that I am not able to promote thee unto honour?"

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Lo, I am come unto thee. But I can say nothing at all, save what God putteth in my mouth that must I speak."

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Build me here seven altars and provide here seven oxen and seven rams."

And Balak did as Balaam said. And Balak and Balaam offered on every altar an ox and a ram.

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Stand by the sacrifice, while I go to know whether the LORD will come and meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me, I will tell thee." And he went forthwith.

And God came unto Balaam, and Balaam said unto him, "I have prepared seven altars, and have offered upon every altar, an ox and a ram."

And the LORD put a saying in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Go again to Balak and say on this wise."

And he began his parable, and said, "Balak the king of Moab hath fetched me from Mesopotamia out of the mountains of the east saying, 'Come and curse me Jacob, come and defy me Israel.'

And Balak said unto Balaam, "What hast thou done unto me? I fetched thee to curse mine enemies: and behold, thou blessest them!"

And he answered, and said, "Must I not keep that and speak it, which the LORD hath put in my mouth?"

And Balak said unto him, "Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place: whence thou shalt see them, and shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all and curse me them there."

And he said unto Balak, "Stand here, by thy sacrifice, while I go yonder."

And the LORD met Balaam and put words in his mouth, and said, "Go again unto Balak and thus say."

And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his sacrifice: and the lords of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, "What sayeth the LORD?"

And he took up his parable and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear! And hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor!

For there is no sorcerer in Jacob, nor soothsayer in Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'What God hath wrought!'

And Balak said unto Balaam, "Neither curse them nor bless them."

And Balaam answered and said unto Balak, "Told not I thee, saying, 'All that the LORD biddeth me, that I must do?'"

And Balak said unto Balaam, "Come, I pray thee; I will bring thee yet unto another place: so peradventure it shall please God that thou mayest curse them there."

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Make me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."

And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

And he took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor hath said;

and the man whose eye is open hath said; he hath said, which heareth the words of God and seeth the visions of the almighty, which falleth down and his eyes are opened:

And Balak was wroth with Balaam, and smote his hands together, and said unto him, "I sent for thee to curse mine enemies: and behold, thou hast blessed them this three times,

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Told I not thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

And he began his parable and said, "Balaam the son of Beor hath said; and the man that hath his eye open hath said;

and he hath said, that heareth the words of God and hath the knowledge of the most high and beholdeth the vision of the almighty, and when he falleth down hath his eyes opened:

And he looked on Amalek and began his parable, and said, "Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall perish utterly."

And he looked on the Kenites, and took his parable, and said, "Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest upon a rock.

And he took his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?

and said unto Moses, "Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD against the sun, that the wrath of the LORD may turn away from Israel."

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, "Go and slay those men that joined themselves unto Baal- Peor."

For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
