Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings. And they shall be to you for a m

And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

And the sons of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.

And they first took their journey according to the commandment of LORD by Moses.

And in the first [place] the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward according to their armies, and over his army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, set forward.

And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies, and over his army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary, and [the others] set up the tabernacle until their coming.

And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim set forward according to their armies, and over his army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies, and over his army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.

And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

Thus were the journeys of the sons of Israel according to their armies, and they set forward.

And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which LORD said, I will give it to you. Come thou with us, and we will do thee good, for LORD has spoken good concerni

And he said to him, I will not go, but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee, inasmuch as thou know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shall be to us instead of eyes.

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that whatever good LORD shall do to us, the same we will do to thee.

And they set forward from the mount of LORD three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.

And the cloud of LORD was over them by day when they set forward from the camp.

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those who hate thee flee before thee.

And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.

And the people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of LORD. And when LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the outermost part of the camp.

And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to LORD, and the fire abated.

And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of LORD burnt among them.

And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,

And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.

The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent. And the anger of LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

And Moses said to LORD, Why have thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou lay the burden of all this people upon me?

And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight, and let me not see my wretchedness.

And LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them. And bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.

And I will come down and talk with thee there. And I will take from the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou not bear it thyself alone.

And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt. Therefore LORD will give you

but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you, because ye have rejected LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?

And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.

Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

And LORD said to Moses, Is LORD's hand grown short? Now thou shall see whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.

And Moses went out, and told the people the words of LORD. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

And LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took from the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And it came to pass, that, when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no mor

But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. And they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the tent. And they prophesied

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

And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

And Moses said to him, Are thou jealous for my sake? Would that all of LORD's people were prophets, that LORD would put his Spirit upon them!

And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

And there went forth a wind from LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the

And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of LORD was kindled against the people, and LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.

From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they abode at Hazeroth.

And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.

And they said, Has LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us? And LORD heard it.

And LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tent of meeting. And the three came out.

And LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both came forth.

And he said, Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you, I LORD will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches, and he shall behold the form of LORD. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

And the anger of LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.

And the cloud removed from over the tent. And, behold, Miriam was leprous, as snow. And Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

And Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

And Moses cried to LORD, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

And LORD said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

And Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days. And the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of LORD. All of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.

And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country.

And see the land, what it is, and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,

and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad, and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds,

and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.

So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.

And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron. And Ahaiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a staff between two, also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.

And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and shown them the fruit of the la

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

However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, very great, and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

Amalek dwells in the land of the South. And the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country. And the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.

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

And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it. And all the people that we saw

And we saw there the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried, and the people wept that night.

And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. And the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness!

And why does LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.

And they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.

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

Only do not rebel against LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and LORD is with us. Fear them not.

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.
