For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.

They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

Then Moses said to the Lord,

And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.

And the Lord said to Moses,

Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.

It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.

And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year;

And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them:

In addition to the burned offering of the new moon, and its meal offering, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings, as they are ordered, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year: only those without any mark on them may be used:

And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, thirteen oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, all without any mark on them;

And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord: one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:

And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord.

When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

Then the Lord said to Moses,

So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

And the Lord said to Moses,

And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,

And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.

And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest here?

Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;

For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.

Then Moses said to them, If you will do this, arming yourselves to go before the Lord to the war,

So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.

And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.

We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.

Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab.

And in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:

The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho,

And the Lord said to Moses,

Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight.

And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.

So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.
