And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai, in the Tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt,

And Moses and Aaron took these men, marked out by name;

As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so they were numbered by him in the waste place of Sinai.

These are they who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and by the twelve chiefs of Israel, one from every tribe.

For the Lord said to Moses,

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by their fathers' houses.

Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,

So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.

And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.

And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.

So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.

And the Lord said to Moses,

So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord said to Moses,

So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.

And the Lord said to Moses,

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And when Moses had put up the House completely, and had put oil on it and made it holy, with all the things in it, and had made the altar and all its vessels holy with oil;

And the Lord said to Moses,

So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

And the Lord said to Moses, Let every chief on his day give his offering to make the altar holy.

And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And Aaron did so; he put the lights in their places so that they gave light in front of the support, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

And the Lord said to Moses,

All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

And the Lord said to Moses,

At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.

And the Lord said to Moses,

They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.

Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.

And the people made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped.

And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry.

And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.

And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle.

Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.

And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!

Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.

Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.

And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

Now the man Moses was more gentle than any other man on earth.

And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of meeting. And the three of them went out.

My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.

And Moses, crying to the Lord, said, Let my prayer come before you, O God, and make her well.

And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;

And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.

Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.

And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.

And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,

All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;

And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.

Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.

So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
