And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the rulers of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.

And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of LORD.

And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which LORD has commanded Moses:

Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation,

And levy a tribute to LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the donkeys, and of the flocks.

Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for LORD's heave-offering.

And of the sons of Israel's half, thou shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabe

Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,

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

And the half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand and five hundred sheep.

And LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.

And the oxen were thirty-six thousand, of which LORD's tribute was seventy-two.

And the donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which LORD's tribute was sixty-one.

And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom LORD's tribute was thirty-two persons.

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

even of the sons of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of LORD, as LORD commanded Moses.

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

And they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us.

And we have brought LORD's oblation, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, earrings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before LORD.

And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered up to LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the sons of Israel before LORD.

Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle. And when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,

the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the rulers of the congregation, saying,

the land which LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.

And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession. Bring us not over the Jordan.

And Moses said to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

And why do ye discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which LORD has given them?

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel, that they should not go into the land which LORD had given them.

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,

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have wholly followed LORD.

And LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of LORD was consumed.

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of LORD toward Israel.

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness, and ye will destroy all this people.

but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

We will not return to our houses until the sons of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.

And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before LORD to the war,

and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.

Build for you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.

And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead,

So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

And Moses said to them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gil

but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As LORD has said to thy servants, so we will do.

We will pass over armed before LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance [is] with us beyond the Jordan.

And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according t

And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were in it.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns of it, and called them Havvoth-jair.

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

These are the journeys of the sons of Israel when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of LORD. And these are their journeys according to their goings out.

And they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the morrow after the Passover the sons of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,

And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth.

And they journeyed from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness. And they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.

And they journeyed from Marah, and came to Elim. And in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there.

And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh).

And they journeyed from Kadesh, and encamped at mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

And Aaron the priest went up onto mount Hor at the commandment of LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.

And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab.

And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

And LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places.

And ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it.

But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those that ye let remain of them shall be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land in which ye dwell.

Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it),

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom. And your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

And your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin. And the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea. And it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon.

And the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border [of it]. This shall be your west border.

From mount Hor ye shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath. And the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad.

And the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

And the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. And the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.

And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about.

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe.

For the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance.

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

And ye shall take one ruler of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
