These [are] the ones counted whom Moses and Aaron mustered, with the twelve leaders of Israel, each one from {his family}.

So all those who were counted from the {Israelites} according to {their families}, from {those twenty years old} and above, everyone in Israel who [is able] to go to war.

The ones who encamp on the eastern side, toward the sunrise, [will be] of the standard of the camp of Judah according to their divisions; and the leader of the descendants of Judah [will be] Nahshon son of Amminadab,

And the ones who encamp next to him [will be] the tribe of Issachar. And the leader of the descendants of Issachar [will be] Nethanel son of Zuar,

These [are] the names of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, the anointed ones whom {he consecrated as priests}.

But you will count Aaron and his descendants; they will keep their priesthood, and the stranger who approaches will be put to death."

The {chief of the leaders} of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest [who had] oversight of those keeping the responsibility of the sanctuary.

Those encamped before the tabernacle to the east--before the tent of assembly to the east--[were] Moses and Aaron and his sons; they will keep the responsibility of the sanctuary {for the Israelites}; and the stranger who approaches will be put to death.

All those counted from the Levites whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the word of Yahweh}, according to their clans, every male from {one month} and above [were] twenty-two thousand.

And the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the {Israelites} who are excessive over the Levites,

You will give the money to Aaron, and to his sons the ransom of the ones who are excessive among them."

And Moses received the money of the redemption from the ones who were excessive from those redeemed of the Levites.

from {thirty years old} and above, up to {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to do the work in the tent of assembly.

from {those twenty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to help to do the work of the tent of assembly.

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; you will muster them, all who come to do the work of the tent of assembly.

And this [is] the responsibility of {those who are to carry}, all their work in the tent of assembly: the frames of the tabernacle and its bars, pillars, and bases,

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}; everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

These [were] those counted of the clans of the Kohathites, everyone who served in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the command} of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly;

These [were] those counted of the clans of the descendants of Gershon, everyone who serves in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to {the command} of Yahweh.

from {those thirty years old} and above until {fifty years old}, everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly,

"Command the {Israelites}: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through [contact with] a corpse.

" 'All the days of keeping himself separated for Yahweh he will not go to a person who is dead;

" 'This is the regulation of the Nazirite who has made a vow of his offering to Yahweh according to his separation, {in addition to what he can afford}. In accordance to the word of his vow that he vowed, he will do, concerning the instruction of his separation.'"

And it happened, the one who presented his offering on the first day [was] Nahshon son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah.

And it happened, men who were unclean {by a dead person} were not able to perform the Passover on that day. And they came {before} Moses and Aaron on that day.

But the man who [is] clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt.

If you go [to] war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, you will signal with a loud noise on the trumpets. You will be remembered {before} Yahweh your God, and you will be rescued from your enemies.

Then the standard of the camp of the descendants of Dan, who formed a rear guard for all the camps, set out according to their divisions; Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai [was] over its division.

And it happened, the people were like those who {complain of hardship} {in the hearing} of Yahweh, and Yahweh {became angry}, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and it consumed the edge of the camp.

The riff-raff that [were] in their midst {had a strong desire}; and the {Israelites} turned back and also wept, and they said, "Who will feed us meat?

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Gather for me seventy men from the elders of Israel whom you know [are] elders of the people and their officials; take them to the tent of assembly, and they will stand there with you.

And you will say to the people, 'Sanctify yourselves tomorrow, for you will eat meat because you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, "Who will feed us good meat? [It was] good for us in Egypt." Yahweh will give to you meat, and you will eat.

{but for a whole month}, until it comes out from your nose and becomes as nausea to you; because you have rejected Yahweh, who [is] in your midst, and you wept before {his presence}, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?" '"

But Moses said, "[There are] six hundred thousand on foot, among whom I [am] in the midst, and you yourself said, 'I will give meat to them, and they will eat for a whole month.'

But two men were left in the camp; the name of one [was] Eldad, and the name of the second [was] Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those who were written [down], but they did not go out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.

And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he took (because he took a Cushite wife);

These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Hoshea son of Nun Joshua.

and you will see what the land is [like] and if the people who inhabit it [are] strong or weak, or whether they are few or many,

Yet the people who are inhabiting [it are] strong and the cities [are] fortified and very large; moreover, we saw the descendants of the Anakites there.

And the men who went up with him said, "We are not able to go up to the people because they [are] stronger than us."

And they presented the report of the land that they explored to the {Israelites}, saying, "The land that we went through to explore [is] a land that eats its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] {men of great size}.

But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice,

they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors, and all those who despised me will not see it.

"How long [will I bear] this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the {Israelites} which {they are making} against me.

in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from {twenty years old} and above who grumbled against me.

But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected.

I, Yahweh, have spoken; I will surely do this to all this evil community who has banded together against me. In this desert they will come to an end, and there they will die."

As for the men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned and made the community grumble against him by spreading a report over the land,

the men who spread the evil report of the land died by the plague {before Yahweh}.

But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh lived from [among] the men who went to explore the land.

So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were living on the mountain descended, and they beat them down, up to Hormah.

And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering [of] finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure [of] oil;

[For] the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells [among you]; [it is] an eternal decree for [all] your generations. {You as well as the alien} will be {before Yahweh}.

And the priest will make atonement for the person who {sinned unintentionally} {before Yahweh}, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

[For] the native among the {Israelites} and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.

But the one {who acts presumptuously} from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.

When the {Israelites} were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath.

The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community.

I [am] Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I [am] Yahweh your God."

And he said to Korah and to his entire company, saying, "[Tomorrow] morning Yahweh will make known who [is] his and [who] is holy, and he will bring him near to him, whomever he chooses he will bring near to him.

tomorrow put fire in them and place incense on them {before} Yahweh; the man whom Yahweh chooses [will be] the holy [one]. You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi!"

All Israel who [were] around them fled at their cry, because they said, "Lest the land swallow us up!"

The censers of these {who have sinned} at the cost of their lives, let them be made into gilded leafing plating for the altar; because they presented them {before Yahweh}, they are holy; and they will be a sign for the {Israelites}.'"

Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that the ones who were burned presented, and they hammered them out thinly [as] plating for the altar;

[it was] a memorial for the {Israelites}, so that {no strange man} who is not from {the offspring} of Aaron should approach the presence [of] Yahweh to burn a smoke offering; he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.

Those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Korah.

And it will happen, the man whom I will choose, his staff will blossom, and so I will rid from upon myself the grumblings of the {Israelites}, who [are] grumbling against you."

Anyone who approaches the tabernacle of Yahweh will die. {Will we all die}?"

But you with your sons will keep your priesthood to perform your priestly duties for everything at the altar and for {the area behind the curtain}. I give you the priesthood as a gift, but the stranger who approaches will be put to death."
