But the Levites shall pitch round about the habitation of witness, that there fall no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel, and the Levites shall wait upon the habitation of witness."

"Bring the tribe of Levi, and set them before Aaron the priest, and let them serve him and wait upon him -

and upon all the multitude - before the tabernacle of witness, to do the service of the habitation.

And they shall wait upon all the apparel of the tabernacle of witness, and upon the children of Israel, to do the service of the habitation.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, was captain over all the captains of the Levites, and had the oversight of them that waited upon the holy things.

And upon the shew-table, they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put thereon the dishes, spoons, flat pieces and pots to pour with, and the daily bread shall be thereon:

and they shall spread upon them a covering of purple, and cover the same with a covering of taxus' skins, and put the staves thereof in.

and shall put upon her and on all her instruments, a covering of taxus' skins, and put it upon staves.

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put on her staves.

And they shall take all the things which they occupy to minister with in the holy place, and put a cloth of jacinth upon them and cover them with a covering of taxus' skins and put them on staves.

and put about it, the firepans, the fleshhooks, the shovels, the basins, and all that belongeth unto the altar, and they shall spread upon it a covering of taxus' skins, and put on the staves of it.

They shall bear the curtains of the dwelling and the roof of the tabernacle of witness and his covering and the covering of taxus' skins that is on high above upon it, and the hanging of the door of the tabernacle of witness:

And at the mouth of Aaron and his sons, shall all the service of the children of the Gershonites be done, in all their charges and in all their service, and ye shall appoint them unto all their charges that they shall wait upon.

And this is the charge, that they must wait upon in all that they must serve in the tabernacle of witness: The boards of the dwelling, and the bars, pillars, and sockets thereof,

and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, pins and cords with all that pertaineth and serveth unto them. And by name ye shall reckon the things that they must wait upon to bear.

"Command the children of Israel that they put out of the host all the lepers and all that have issues and all that are defiled upon the dead;

and the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him and he is jealous over his wife, and she defiled; or haply the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is jealous over his wife and she yet undefiled.

and he shall take a handful of the memorial offering and burn it upon the altar, and then make her drink the water.

or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, so that he is jealous over his wife: then he shall bring her before the LORD, and the priest shall minister all this law unto her,

And as long as the vow of his abstinence endureth, there shall no razor nor shears come upon his head, until his days be out which he fasteth unto the LORD, and he shall be holy and shall let the locks of his hair grow.

he shall not make himself unclean at the death of his father, mother, brother or sister: For the abstinence of his God is upon his head.

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering and make an atonement for him, as concerning that he sinned upon the dead, and shall also hallow his head the same day

The LORD make his face shine upon thee and be merciful unto thee.

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

For ye shall put my name upon the children of Israel, that I may bless them.'"

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the office that pertained to them was holy, and therefore they must bear upon shoulders.

And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of witness to speak with him, he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of witness: even from between the two cherubims he spake unto him.

"Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, 'When thou puttest on the lamps see that they light all seven upon the forefront of the candlestick.'"

And Aaron did even so, and put the lamps upon the forefront of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses,

And this do unto them when thou cleansest them: sprinkle water of purifying upon them and make a razor to run along upon all the flesh of them, and let them wash their clothes, and then they shall be clean.

And bring the Levites before the LORD, and let the children of Israel put their hands upon the Levites.

And let Aaron heave the Levites before the LORD, for a heave offering given of the children of Israel, and then let them be appointed to wait upon the service of the LORD.

And let the Levites put their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and then offer them: the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

for they are given unto me from among the children of Israel: for I have taken them unto me for all the firstborn that open any matrix among the children of Israel.

"This shall be the manner of the Levites: from twenty five years upward they shall go in to wait upon the service in the tabernacle of witness,

and at fifty they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall labour no more:

and said, "We are defiled upon a dead corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering unto the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel?"

And the same day that the habitation was reared up, a cloud covered it on high upon the tabernacle of witness: and at even there was upon the habitation, as it were the similitude of fire until the morning.

At the mouth of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the mouth of the LORD they pitched. And as long as the cloud abode upon the habitation, they lay still,

and when the cloud tarried still upon the habitation a long time, the children of Israel waited upon the LORD and journeyed not.

If it chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the habitation, then they kept their tents at the mouth of the LORD: and they journeyed also at the commandment of the LORD.

And if it happened that the cloud was upon the habitation from evening unto morning and was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

But when the cloud tarried two days or a month or a long season upon the habitation, as long as it tarried thereon, the children of Israel kept their tents and journeyed not. And as soon as the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

And if thou go with us, look what goodness the LORD showeth upon us, the same we will show upon thee."

But now our souls are dried away, for our eyes look on nothing else, save upon Manna."

And Moses said unto the LORD, "Wherefore dealest thou so cruelly with thy servant? Wherefore do I not find favour in thy sight, seeing that thou puttest the weight of this people upon me?

And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone.

And the LORD came down in a cloud and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And as the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did nought else.

But there remained two of the men in the host: the one called Eldad, and the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them for they were of them that were written, but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the host.

And Moses said unto him, "Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the LORD's people could prophesy, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them."

And there went forth a wind from the LORD and brought quails from the sea and let them fall about the host, even a day's journey round about on every side of the host, and two cubits high upon the earth.

And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, yer it was chewed up, the wrath of the LORD waxed hot upon the people, and the LORD slew of the people an exceeding mighty slaughter.

and the cloud departed from the tabernacle. And behold, Miriam was become leprous, as it were snow. And when Aaron looked upon Miriam and saw that she was leprous,

he said unto Moses, "Oh I beseech thee my lord, put not the sin upon us which we have foolishly committed and sinned.

And they came unto the river of Eshcol and they cut down there a branch with one cluster of grapes and bare it upon a staff between twain, and also of the pomegranates and of the figs of the place.

Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?"

And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them?

'The LORD is long yer he be angry, and full of mercy, and suffereth sin and trespass, and leaveth no man innocent, and visiteth the unrighteousness of the fathers upon the children, even upon the third and fourth generation.'

there shall not one see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that railed upon me, see it.

And the men which Moses sent to search the land, and which - when they came again - made all the people to murmur against it, in that they brought up a slander upon the land;

died for their bringing up that evil slander upon it, and were plagued before the LORD.

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you."

and will offer an offering upon the fire unto the LORD, whether it be a burnt offering or a special vow or freewill offering or if it be in your principal feasts to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the oxen or of the flock:

because he hath despised the word of the LORD and hath broken his commandments, that soul therefore shall perish and his sin shall be upon him.'"

And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the Sabbath day.

"Speak unto the children of Israel and bid them, that they make them guards upon the quarters of their garments throughout their generations, and let them make the guards of ribbons of Jacinth.

And the guard shall be unto you to look upon it, that ye remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them: that ye seek not a way after your own hearts and after your own eyes, for to go a whoring after them:

When Moses heard it, he fell upon his face

And they fell upon their faces, and said, "O most mighty God of the spirits of all flesh; one man hath sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?"

But and if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them and all that pertain unto them, so that they go down quick in to hell: then ye shall understand, that these men have railed upon the LORD."

And they and all that pertained unto them, went down alive unto hell, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation.

for the censers of these sinners are hallowed in their deaths: and let them be beaten into thin plates and fastened upon the altar. For they offered them before the LORD, and therefore they are holy and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel."

And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers which they that were burnt had offered, and beat them and fastened them upon the altar,

"Get you from this congregation, that I may consume them quickly." And they fell upon their faces.

"Speak unto the children of Israel and take of them, for every principal house, a rod, of their princes over the houses of their fathers: even twelve rods, and write every man's name upon his rod.

And write Aaron's name upon the staff of Levi: for every headman over the houses of their fathers shall have a rod.

And Moses brought out all the staves from before the LORD, unto all the children of Israel, and they looked upon them, and took every man his staff.

And let them wait upon thee and upon all the tabernacle: only let them not come nigh the holy vessels and the altar, that both they and ye also die not.

Wait therefore upon the holy place and upon the altar, that there fall no more wrath upon the children of Israel:

"But the firstborn of oxen, sheep and goats shall not be redeemed. For they are holy, and thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat to be a sacrifice of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

"This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commandeth, saying, 'Speak unto the children of Israel and let them take thee a red cow without spot wherein is no blemish, and which never bare yoke upon her.

And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood upon his finger, and sprinkle it straight toward the tabernacle of witness seven times.

And let the priest take cypress wood, and Hyssop and purple cloth, and cast it upon the cow as she burneth.

Whosoever toucheth any person that dieth and sprinkleth not himself, defileth the dwelling of the LORD: and therefore that soul shall be rooted out of Israel, because he hath not sprinkled the sprinkling water upon him, he shall be unclean, and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.

And all the vessels that be open which have no lid nor covering upon them, are unclean.

And a clean person shall take Hyssop and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent and upon all the vessels and on the souls that were there, and upon him that touched a bone or a slain person or a dead body or a grave.

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean the third day and the seventh day. And the seventh day he shall purify himself and wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

And Moses and Aaron went from the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and fell upon their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

This is the water of strife, because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified upon them.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, hard upon the coasts of the land of Edom, saying,

and strip Aaron out of his vestments and put them upon Eleazar his son, and let Aaron be put unto his people and die there."

And Moses took off Aaron's clothes and put them upon Eleazar his son, and Aaron died there in the top of the mount.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Make thee a serpent and hang it up for a sign, and let as many as are bitten look upon it and they shall live."

And they removed thence, and pitched upon the river of Zered.

and on the river's head, which shooteth down to dwell at Ar, and leaneth upon the coasts of Moab."

And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, the interpreter, which dwelt upon the river of the land of the children of his folk; to call him, saying, "Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt which covereth the face of the earth and lie even hard by me.

But God was angry because he went. And the angel of the LORD stood in the way against him. And he rode upon his ass and two servants with him.

And the ass said unto Balaam, "Am not I thine ass which thou hast ridden upon since thou wast born unto this day? Was I ever wont to do so unto thee?" And he said, "Nay."

And God came unto Balaam, and Balaam said unto him, "I have prepared seven altars, and have offered upon every altar, an ox and a ram."

and lift up his eyes and looked upon Israel as he lay with his tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.
