And you, camp outside the camp seven days; all who killed a person and all who touched the slain purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

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 divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

And levy a tax for Jehovah from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, of the persons and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flock.

And from the sons of Israel's half you shall take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, of the flocks, of all kinds of animals, and give them to the Levites who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.

and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.

And the half, the portion of those who went out to war, the number of the flock was three hundred thirty-seven thousand, five hundred;

The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh's tribute was thirty-two persons.

And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men who warred;

even of the sons of Israel's half, Moses took one portion in fifty, of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, even as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And the officers who were over thousands of the army, over the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near Moses.

And they said to Moses, Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our charge, and there is not one man of us lacking.

'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed.

And now, look! You're acting just like your ancestors, like a brood of sinful men, who are provoking the fierce anger of the LORD against the Israelis one step at a time.

but we ourselves will go ready armed before the sons of Israel until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall live in the fenced cities because of those who live in the land.

Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,

but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says."

Moses said to them, "If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land shall be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and put out the Amorite who was in it.

That's why Moses gave Gilead to Manasseh's son Machir, who lived there at the time.

These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

For the Egyptians buried all their first-born whom Jehovah had stricken among them. Jehovah also executed judgments upon their gods.

And King Arad the Canaanite, who lived in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.

who had traveled from Mount Hor and then rested in Zalmonah.

then you shall drive out all those who live in the land from before you, and destroy all their carved images, and destroy all their molded images and pluck down all their high places.

And divide ye the land by lot to your tribes: to the many ye shall multiply his inheritance, and to the few ye shall diminish his inheritance; to whom shall come forth to him, there shall the lot be to him; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit

But if you will not drive out the people of the land from before you, then it will be, those of them whom you let remain shall be goads in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land in which you live.

These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

“The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you must provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give 42 other cities.

And the cities which you shall give shall be of the possessions of the sons of Israel. You shall give many from those who have many. But from those who have few you shall give few. Everyone shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.

then you shall choose cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that the slayer who kills any person through error may flee there.

You will have the cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who kills someone will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.

These six cities shall be a refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger, and for anyone who stays among them, so that everyone who kills any person through error may flee there.

or in hatred strikes him with his hand so that he dies, he who struck him shall surely he put to death. He is a murderer. The revenger of blood will kill the murderer when he meets him.

then the congregation shall judge between the one who kills and the revenger of blood according to these judgments.

And the congregation shall deliver the one who kills out of the hand of the revenger of blood. And the congregation shall send him back to the city of his refuge, to which he had fled. And he shall stay in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

But if the one who killed shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge to which he had fled,

because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the one who killed shall return to the land of his possession.

And you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death. But he shall surely be put to death.

And you shall take no ransom for him who has fled to the city of his refuge, to return to live in the land until the death of the high priest.

"'So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it.

You are not to defile the land where you will be living, because I'm living among you. I am the LORD, who lives in Israel."

The family leaders from the clan of the descendants of Gilead—the son of Machir, son of Manasseh—who were from the clans of the sons of Joseph, approached and addressed Moses and the leaders who were over the Israelite families.

This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
