And, when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face. Then spake he unto Korah, and unto all his assembly, saying, In the morning, will Yahweh make known who are his, and who is the holy one and will cause him to come near unto himself, - yea him whom he shall choose, will he cause to come near unto himself. This do, - Take to you censers, Korah and all his assembly; and place therein fire, and put thereon incense before Yahweh, to-morrow, So shall it be - that, the man whom Yahweh shall choose, he shall be the holy one. Too much for you ye sons of Levi! And Moses said unto Korah, - Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi! Is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, - to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them? But having brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, must ye seek priesthood also? Wherefore thou and all thine assembly, are conspiring against Yahweh, - But Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him? Then sent Moses, to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, - and they said We will not come up: Was it, a small thing, that thou didst bring us up out of land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the desert but thou must, continue even to lord it, over us? Certainly not into a land flowing with milk and honey, hast thou brought us, nor given unto us an inheritance of field and vineyard, - The eyes of those men, wilt thou dig out? We will not come up. Then was Moses very angry, and he said unto Yahweh, Do not thou have respect unto their meal-offering. Not one ass, from them, have I taken, neither have I wronged one of them. And Moses said unto Korah, Thou, and all thine assembly, come ye before Yahweh, - thou, and they, and Aaron to-morrow. And take ye each man his censer and put thereon incense, then shall ye bring near before Yahweh, each man his censer, two hundred and fifty Censers, - and, thou and Aaron, each man his censer. So they took each man his censer and put thereon fire, and placed thereon incense, - and took their stand at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. And Korah gathered together against them all the assembly, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, - then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the assembly. Separate yourselves out of the midst of this assembly, - that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces and said, O GOD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, - shall, one man, sin, and against all the assembly, wilt thou he wroth. Speak unto the assembly, saying, - Get ye up from round about the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. So Moses rose up, and went, unto Dathan and Abiram, - then went, after him the eiders of Israel. And he spake unto the assembly, saying - Remove I pray you from beside the tents of these lawless men, and do not touch aught that pertaineth unto them, - lest ye be carried off, in all their sins. So they went up from beside the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on every side, - and, Dathan and Abiram, came out and stationed themselves at the entrance of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones. Then said Moses, Hereby, shall ye know, that, Yahweh hath sent me, to do all these works, - verily, not out of my own heart: If, as all human beings die, these do die, and the visitation of all human beings, be visited upon them, Yahweh, hath not sent me. But, if, a cremation, Yahweh create, and the ground open wide her mouth and swallow them up, with all that pertain unto them, and so they go down alive unto hades, then shall ye know, that these men have despised Yahweh. And it came to pass as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground which was under them, clave asunder; and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up them, and their households, - and all the human beings who pertained unto Korah, with all their goods: so, they, and all that pertained unto them, went down, alive unto hades, - and the earth, closed pen them, and they perished out of the midst of the convocation. And, all Israel who were round about them, fled at their cry, - for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. Fire also came forth, from Yahweh, - and consumed the two hundred and fifty men, who offered the incense.

Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin.
And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, - then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain. Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh. Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice. Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, - from the day that I first knew you. Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, - because Yahweh spake of destroying you. Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, - which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand. Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, - do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin: lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, - and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert. Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, - whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand: - that they may believe that Yahweh, God of their fathers, - God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee. Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again - Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, - and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, - like snow, And he said - Put back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, - and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own flesh: thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next sign; and it shall come to pass if they will not believe even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, - so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on the dry land. And Moses said unto Yahweh - Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, - for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am. Then Yahweh said unto him - Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh,? Now, therefore go, - and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak. And he said - Pardon, O My Lord! send, I pray thee by the hand of him whom thou wilt send - Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said - Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he lean speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice in his heart. Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth, - and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct you what ye shall do. And, he, shall speak for thee unto the people, - so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as God. And this staff, take thou in thy hand, - wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
And he said - Do not draw nigh hither, - put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing is holy ground. And he said - I, am the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, - and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their pains; therefore have I come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to take them up out of that land, into a land good and large, into a land flowing with milk and honey, - into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, - moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing them. Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, - and bring thou forth my people - the sons of Israel - out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am, I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, - and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt? And he said - I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, shall be the sign, that, I have sent thee, - When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto God, upon this mountain. And Moses said unto God - Lo! as surely as, I, go in unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers, hath sent me unto you, So surely will they say unto me - What is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I Will Become whatsoever I please, And he said - Thus, shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, I Will Become hath sent me unto you. And God said yet further unto Moses - Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after generation. Go - and thou shalt gather together the eiders of Israel and shalt say unto them-Yahweh. God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, - I am, concerned, for you, and for what is done to you in Egypt; therefore do I say - I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, - into a land flowing with milk and honey. So will they hearken to thy voice, - and thou shalt go in - thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him - Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God. But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, - not even by a firm hand. So then I will put forth my hand and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will d in the midst thereof, - and, after that, he will send you forth. Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, - so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall not go empty; but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and mantles, - and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye spoil the Egyptians.

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle, - thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are. So they said to me - Make for us gods, who shall go before us, - for, as for this, Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him. And I said to them - Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, - and I cast it into the fire, and there came out - this calf. And Moses saw the people, that unbridled, they were, - for Aaron had given them the rein, for a whispering, among their enemies. So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said - Who is for Yahweh? -- To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi, And he said to them - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, - pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour. So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, - and there fell from among the people on that day, about three thousand men. And Moses said - Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, - so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing. And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, - Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin. So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, - Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves - gods of gold. Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, -- but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written, And Yahweh said unto Moses, - Him who hath sinned against me, must I blot out of my book. Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin. And Yahweh plagued the people, - for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.

And Moses said unto Korah, - Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi! Is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, - to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them?

Wherefore thou and all thine assembly, are conspiring against Yahweh, - But Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him?

And Moses made outcry unto Yahweh saying, What am I to do, with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me. Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Pass over before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel, - thy staff also wherewith thou didst smite the river, take thou in thy hand, so shalt thou go thy way. Behold me! standing before thee, there upon the rock in Horeb, then shalt thou smite the rock and there shall come forth therefrom water, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. So he called the name of the place, Massah, and Meribah, - because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel, and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or is he not?

And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh. Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh.

As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak saying: Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert. Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, - according as thou didst speak saying: Yahweh - slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth. Pardon I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness, - And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even thus far. And Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to thy word;
Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, - ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you. So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, - and brake them in pieces before your eyes. Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and water, did I not drink, - because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked, in the eyes of Yahweh. to provoke him to anger. For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, - but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time. And with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him, - so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron at that time. And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, - then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain. Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh. Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice. Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, - from the day that I first knew you. Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, - because Yahweh spake of destroying you. Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, - which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand. Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, - do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin: lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, - and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert. Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, - whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.

But command thou Joshua and confirm him and embolden him, - for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. So we abode in the valley, over against Beth-peor.
for that ye acted unfaithfully against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, regarding the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin, - for that ye hallowed me not in the midst of the sons of Israel. Yet, over against thee, shalt thou behold the land, - but thereinto, shalt thou not enter, into the land which I am giving unto the sons of Israel.

And the sons of Israel bewailed Moses in the waste plains of Moab thirty day, - then were completed the wailing-days of the mourning for Moses.

When they have a matter, they come in unto me, then do I judge between a man and his neighbour, - and make known the statutes of God and his laws. Then said Moses' father-in-law unto him, - Not good, is the thing that thou art doing. Thou wilt get quite worn out, both thou and this people that is with thee, - for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou canst not do it, alone. Now, hearken thou to my voice - let me counsel thee, and may God be with thee: Be, thou, for the people, in front of God, so shalt, thou, bring the matters unto God; and shalt cause to shine upon them, the statutes and the laws, - and make known to them the way wherein they should go, and the work they should do. Thou thyself, therefore shalt look out, from among all the people - men of ability, reverers of God, men of fidelity, haters of extortion, - and place them over them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. So shall they judge the people at any time, and it shall be, all the great matters, shall they bring in unto thee, but all the small matters, shall, they themselves, judge, - so, lighten thou the burden for thyself, and let them bear it with thee. If, this thing, thou wilt do, and God shall command thee, then shalt thou be able to endure, - yea, moreover, all this people, shall go in, unto their dwellings, contented. So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said; and Moses chose men of ability out of all Israel, and set them to be heads over the people, - rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And they shall judge the people, at any time, - the hard matters, shall they bring in unto Moses, but all the small matters, shall, they themselves, judge.
Not one day, shall ye eat nor two days, - nor five days nor ten days, nor twenty days: for a month of days until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing, - because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore now came we forth out of Egypt? And Moses said, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I, yet thou hast said - Flesh, will I give unto them, a and they shall eat for a month of days. Shall the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them that it may suffice for them? Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word come to pass unto thee or not. And Moses went forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, - and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand round about the tent. Then Yahweh came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took e of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men - the elders. And it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more. Now there were two men left behind in the camp - the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them - they, being among them who were written, though they hint not gone forth unto the tent, - but they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a young man, and told Moses and said, - Eldad and Medad, are prophesying in the camp! Then responded Joshua son of Nun the attendant of Moses from his youth, and said, - My lord Moses forbid them! But Moses said unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea let Yahweh put his spirit upon them! Then was Moses received back into the camp, - he and the elders of Israel.
How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies? Set forth for you - men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, - that I may appoint them to be heads over you. And ye answered me, - and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done. So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes. And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, - Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each magi and his brother and his sojourner. Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it. So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, - and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.

God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, - I am, concerned, for you, and for what is done to you in Egypt; therefore do I say - I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, - into a land flowing with milk and honey. So will they hearken to thy voice, - and thou shalt go in - thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him - Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God. But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, - not even by a firm hand. So then I will put forth my hand and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will d in the midst thereof, - and, after that, he will send you forth. Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, - so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall not go empty; but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and mantles, - and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye spoil the Egyptians.
