This is the law of jealousies when a woman goes aside, being under her husband, and is defiled.

This is the law of the Nazarite who has vowed his offering to Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to the vow which he vowed, so he must do according to the law of his separation.

And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, so that You lay the burden of all this people upon me?

Have I conceived all this people? Did I bring them forth, that You should say to me, Bear them in your bosom like a nursing father carries the sucking child, to the land which You swore to their fathers?

From where should I get flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat.

I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

And if You are going to part this way with me, I beg You to kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and let me not see my misery.

And a wind went forth from Jehovah. And it cut off quails from the sea and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way, southward, and go up into the mountain.

And they told him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is the fruit of it.

And why has Jehovah brought us into this land to fall by the sword, so that our wives and our sons should be a prey? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?

If Jehovah delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.

And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be before they believe Me, for all the signs which I have shown among them?

And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear, for You have brought up this people in Your might from among them.

And they will say to the inhabitant of this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are among this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

And will You kill this people as one man? Then the nations who have heard Your fame will speak, saying,

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has slain them in the wilderness.

I beseech You, pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your mercy, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmurs against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they murmur against Me.

Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me,

But as for you, your bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. They shall be destroyed in this wilderness, and there they shall die.

All that are born of the country shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.

Do this. Take fire-pans, Korah and all his company,

For this cause you and all your company are gathered against Jehovah. And what is Aaron, that you murmur against him?

Separate yourselves from among this congregation, so that I may devour them in a moment.

And Moses said, By this you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works, and that not from my own heart.

Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire, every sacrifice of theirs, every food offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall give Me. These are most holy for you and for your sons.

And this is yours, the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute forever. Everyone that is clean in your house shall eat it.

This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke ever came.

This is the law when a man dies in a tent. All that come into the tent, and all in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

And why have you brought up the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, so that we and our cattle should die there?

And why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this evil place? It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates. And there is no water to drink.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now you rebels. Must we bring water for you out of this rock?

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not believe Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

And Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah and said, If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will completely destroy their cities.

And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water. And our soul hates this light bread.

Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well. Sing to it.

And the sons of Israel pulled up stakes and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now this company is licking up all around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

Therefore, I pray you, come now and curse this people for me. For they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail so that we may strike them, and so that I may drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

For I will raise you up to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me. Please come then and curse this people for me.

But please now stay here also this night so that I may know what more Jehovah will say to me.

But the Angel of Jehovah stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall on this side, and a wall on that side.

And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass, upon which you have ridden ever since I was yours, to this day? Was I ever known to do so to you? And he said, No.

Surely, there is no spell against Jacob, nor any fortune-telling against Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What God has worked!

And now, behold, I go to my people. Come! I will make known to you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.

And the sons of Eliab, Nemuel, and Dathan and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram who were famous in the congregation, who fought against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they fought against Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Get up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

And you shall say to them, This is the fire offering which you shall offer to Jehovah: two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, a continual burnt offering.

this is the burnt offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine to a bull, and the third of a hin to a ram, and a fourth a hin to a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast. Seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

In this way you shall offer daily, seven days, the bread of the fire offering, a sweet savor to Jehovah. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

And you shall have a holy convocation on the tenth of this seventh month. And you shall afflict your souls. You shall not do any work.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded:

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to battle, This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah commanded Moses.

And, they said, If we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over Jordan.

For if you turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness. And you shall destroy all this people.

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of Jordan, eastward.

And Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will go armed before Jehovah to war,

and the land is subdued before Jehovah, then afterwards you shall return and be guiltless before Jehovah and before Israel. And this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.

We will go over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, so that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

Command the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders.

And for the western border, you shall even have the Great Sea for a border. This shall be your west border.

And this shall be your northern border. From the Great Sea you shall point out for you Mount Hor.

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the end of it shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
