And Moses said to Korah, Stand before Jehovah, you and all your company, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

And they fell upon their faces and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin and will You be angry with all the congregation?

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

He said to the community, saying, "Please turn away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything {that belongs to them}, or you will be destroyed with all their sins."

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.

And all Israel around them fled at their cry. For they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

a memorial to the sons of Israel, that no stranger not of the seed of Aaron may come near to offer incense before Jehovah, so that he may not be as Korah and as his company, as Jehovah said to him by the hand of Moses.

and the Lord said to Moses,

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a fire-pan, and put fire in it from the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation and make an atonement for them. For wrath has gone out from Jehovah. The plague has begun.

Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague has begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept as a token against the rebels. And you shall completely take away their murmurings from Me so that they do not die.

And the {Israelites} said to Moses, saying, "Look! We will die! We will be destroyed! All of us will perish!

And Jehovah said to Aaron, You and your sons, and your father's house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary. And you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I [the Lord] have entrusted you with My heave offerings, even all the holy gifts of the Israelites, I have given them to you as a portion, and to your sons as a continual allotment.

And Jehovah said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them. I am your part and your inheritance among the sons of Israel.

But the tithes of the sons of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to Jehovah, I have given to the Levites to inherit. Therefore I have said to them, Among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

'And unto the Levites thou dost speak; and thou hast said unto them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then ye have lifted up from it the heave-offering of Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe;

'And thou hast said unto them, In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it hath been reckoned to the Levites, as increase of a threshing-floor, and as increase of a wine-vat;

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord.

and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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?

Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you didn't believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

From Kadesh Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom: "Thus your brother Israel has said, 'You know all the hardship that has found us;

And Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.

And the sons of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway. And if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it. Without doing anything, I will only go through on my feet.

And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron on Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom, saying,

So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.

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 crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah and against you. Pray to Jehovah that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole. And it shall be when everyone that is bitten, when he looks upon it, he shall live.

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of Jehovah, Waheb in Suphah, and in the torrents of Arnon,

From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."

Yahweh said to Moses, "Don't fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."

Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates in the land of his people. Balak said to him: “Look, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the surface of the land and are living right across from me.

So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

He said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak to me." The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"

Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, [saying],

God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people; for they are blessed."

Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your land; for Yahweh refuses to permit me to go with you."

The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."

They came to Balaam, and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:

And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do."

Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you."

The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?" He said, "No."

The angel of Yahweh said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come forth as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me:

Balaam said to the angel of Yahweh, "I have sinned; for I didn't know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again."

The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

Balak said to Balaam, "Didn't I earnestly send to you to call you? Why didn't you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?"

Balaam said to Balak, "Behold, I have come to you: have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak."

Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."

And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.

Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you." He went to a bare height.

God met Balaam: and he said to him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar."

Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

He took up his parable, and said, "From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.

Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether."

He answered and said, "Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?"

Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place, where you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from there."

He said to Balak, "Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet [Yahweh] yonder."

Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and say this."

He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, "What has Yahweh spoken?"

He took up his parable, and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done!

Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."

But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you, saying, All that Jehovah speaks, that I must do?

Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse me them from there."

Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."

Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

he has said; he who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling down but having his eyes open;

Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.

{Flee} to your place now. I said I would richly honor you, but look, Yahweh has withheld honor from you."

Balaam said to Balak, "Didn't I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the mouth of Jehovah, to do good or bad of my own mind. What Jehovah said, that I will speak.

He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

he has said, he who heard the words of God and knew the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down but having his eyes open;

He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction."

He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, "Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.

He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?

Yahweh said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel."

Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And it happened after the plague, Yahweh said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saying,

So Moses and Eleazar the priest said to them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not a man left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the entire community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,
