And Moses said unto them, "Tarry, that I may hear what the LORD will command you."

And when a stranger dwelleth among you and will offer Passover unto the LORD, according to the ordinance of Passover and manner thereof shall he offer it. And ye shall have one law both for the stranger and for him that was born at home in the land.'"

And Moses said unto Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We go unto the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it you.' Go with us and we will do thee good, for the LORD hath promised good unto Israel."

And he said unto him, "I will not: but will go to mine own land and to my kindred."

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

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 say unto the people, 'Hallow your selves against tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh, for ye have whined in the ears of the LORD saying: Who shall give us flesh to eat? For we were happy when we were in Egypt! Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

And Moses said, "Six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast said, 'I will give them flesh and they shall eat a month long.'

And he said, "Hear my words. If there be a prophet of the LORD's among you, I will show myself unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

If the LORD have lust to us, he will bring us into this land and give it us, which is a land that floweth with milk and honey.

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?

I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make of thee a greater nation and a mightier than they."

And it will be told to the inhabiters of this land also, for they have heard likewise, that thou the LORD art among this people, and that thou art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

If thou shalt kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations which have heard the fame of thee, will speak, saying,

But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it,

Tell them that the LORD sayeth, 'As truly as I live, I will do unto you even as ye have spoken in mine ears.

And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused,

I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die."

And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned."

And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass:

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:

And if there be a stranger with you or be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD: even as ye do, so he shall do.

"Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye be come in to the land whither I will bring you,

then when ye will eat of the bread of the land, ye shall give a heave offering unto the LORD.

and spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will show who is his and who is holy, and will take them unto him, and whomsoever he hath chosen, he will cause to come to him.

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come.

Moreover, thou hast brought us unto no land that floweth with milk and honey, neither hast given us possessions of fields or of vines. Either wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? We will not come."

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?"

And put them in the tabernacle of witness where I will meet you.

And his rod whom I chose, shall blossom: So I will make cease from me the grudgings of the children of Israel which they grudge against you."

let us go a good fellowship through thy country: we will not go through the fields nor through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will go by the highway and neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left, until we be past thy country."

And the children of Israel said unto him, "We will go by the beaten way: and if either we or our cattle drink of thy water, we will pay for it, we will do no more but pass through by foot only."

Then Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD and said, "If thou wilt give this people into our hands, we will destroy their cities."

"Let us go through thy land; We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go along by the common way, until we be past thy country."

And he said unto them, "Tarry here all night and I will bring you word, even as the LORD shall say unto me." And the lords of Moab abode with Balaam.

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the lords of Balak, "Get you unto your land, for the LORD will not suffer me to go with you."

for I will greatly promote thee unto great honour, and will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me! Come therefore I pray thee, curse me this people.'"

Nevertheless tarry ye here all night: that I may know what the LORD will say unto me once more."

And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me. Now therefore if it displease thine eyes, I will turn again."

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Stand by the sacrifice, while I go to know whether the LORD will come and meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me, I will tell thee." And he went forthwith.

For there is no sorcerer in Jacob, nor soothsayer in Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'What God hath wrought!'

And Balak said unto Balaam, "Come, I pray thee; I will bring thee yet unto another place: so peradventure it shall please God that thou mayest curse them there."

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave the people in the wilderness: so shall ye destroy all this folk."

And they went near him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our sheep and for our cattle, and cities for our children:

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place. And our children shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabiters of the land.

And we will not return unto our houses until the children of Israel have inherited: every man his inheritance.

For we will not inherit with them on yonder side, Jordan forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side, Jordan eastward."

And Moses said unto them, "If ye will do this thing, that ye will go all harnessed before the LORD to war,

and will go all of you in harness over Jordan before the LORD, until he have cast out his enemies before him,

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

And the Children of Gad and of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, "Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

But we thy servants will go all harnessed for the war unto battle before the LORD, as my lord hath said."

and said unto them, "If the children of Gad and Reuben will go with you over Jordan, all prepared to fight before the LORD: then when the land is subdued unto you, give them the land of Gilead to possess.

But and if they will not go over with you in harness, then they shall have their possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

And the children of Gad and Ruben answered, saying, "That which the LORD hath said unto thy servants we will do.

We will go harnessed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall be on this side the Jordan."

But and if ye will not drive out the inhabiters of the land before you, then those which ye let remain of them, shall be thorns in your eyes and darts in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

Moreover it will come to pass, that I shall do unto you as I thought to do unto them.'"
