He is not to defile himself on account of his father, mother, brother, and sister when they die, because the crown of his consecration to God is on his head.

During the entire time of his dedication, he is set apart to God.

"When you wage war in your land against an enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the face of the LORD your God and you will be delivered from your enemies.

At the beginning of the month, during your time of rejoicing at the appointed place, sound the trumpet over your burnt offering, then sacrifice your peace offering, since they are to be your memorial before the LORD your God. I am the LORD your God."

Deuel's son Eliasaph was in charge of the tribe of Gad.

Then Moses told Reuel's son Hobab, Moses' relative by marriage from Midian, "We are traveling to the place about which the LORD said "I will give it to you.' So come with us and we'll be good to you, because the LORD has spoken good things about Israel."

And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well."

Where am I going to get meat to give this people? After all, they're crying in front of me, "Give us meat to eat!'

from Joseph's tribe of Manasseh, Susi's son Gaddi;

and from Gad's tribe, Machi's son Geuel.

Look to see whether the land where they live is good or bad, and whether the cities in which they live are merely tents or if they're fortified.

Soon they arrived in the valley of Eshcol, where they cut a single branch of grapes and carried it on a pole between two men, along with some pomegranates and figs.

and attempted to reason with the entire congregation of Israel. They told them, "The land that we went through and explored is very, very good.

So they got up early the next morning and traveled to the top of the mountain, telling themselves, "Look, we're here and we're going to go up to the place that the LORD had spoken about, even though we've sinned."

Do this for each bullock, ram, male lamb, or goat.

When anything is done without the knowledge of the congregation, the entire community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, along with its meal and drink offerings offered according to procedure, and one male goat for a sin offering.

"Now when one person sins inadvertently, then he is to bring a one year old female goat for a sin offering.

"But if some person acts with a high hand, whether a native-born or a resident alien, he blasphemes God, and that person is to be eliminated from among his people.

Therefore, remember to observe all my commands and to be holy in the presence of your God.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God."

Is it such an insignificant thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the Israelis to draw you to himself, appointing you to do the work of the tent of the LORD and to stand before the community to minister to them?

Then they fell on their faces and said, "God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, will you be angry at the entire congregation on account of one man's sin?"

So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

But you are not to redeem the firstborn of a cow, sheep, or a female goat. They are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat for an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

After this, they traveled from Mount Hor along the caravan route by way of the Sea of Reeds and went around the land of Edom. But when the people got impatient because it was a long route,

God visited Balaam and asked him, "Who are these men with you?"

Then Balaam told God, "Zippor's son Balak, king of Moab, sent them to me and said,

But God told Balaam, "Don't go with them. Don't curse the people, because they're blessed."

So Balaam got up the next morning and told Balak's officials, "Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused me permission to go with you."

So Balak's officials got up, returned to Balak and reported, "Balaam refused to come with us."

who approached Balaam with this message: "This is what Zippor's son Balak says: "Don't let anything get in the way of your coming to me.

Balaam responded to Balak's entourage by saying, "Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I won't double-cross the command of the LORD my God in even the slightest way.

God came to visit Balaam that same night and told him, "If the men come to call on you, get up and go with them, but be sure to do only what I tell you to do."

The next morning, Balaam got up, saddled his donkey, and started to leave, accompanied by the Moabite officials.

When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she crouched down under Balaam. As a result, Balaam got so angry that he started to whip the donkey with his staff.

Balaam answered Balak, "Well, I'm here now. I've come to you, but I can't just say anything, can I? I'll speak only what God puts in my mouth to say."

But how can I curse those whom God hasn't cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD hasn't denounced?

God is not a human male he doesn't lie, nor is he a human being he never vacillates. Once he speaks up, he's going to act, isn't he? Once he makes a promise, he'll fulfill it, won't he?

He has not responded to iniquity in Jacob or gazed at mischief in Israel. The LORD his God is with them, and the triumphant cry of a king is among them.

From Egypt God brought them his strength was like a wild ox!

No Satanic plan against Jacob nor divination against Israel can ever prevail. When the time is right, it is to be asked about Jacob and Israel, "What has God accomplished?'

So Balak exhorted Balaam, "Let's go right now! I'll take you to another place. Maybe God will agree to have you curse them for me from there."

looked up, and saw Israel encamped in their respective tribal order. Just then, the spirit of God came upon him.

A declaration from one who hears what God has to say, who saw the vision that the Almighty revealed, who keeps stumbling with open eyes.

God is bringing them out of Egypt with the strength of an ox. He'll devour enemy nations, break their bones, and impale them with arrows.

Now get out of here! I had promised you that I would definitely honor you, but now the LORD has kept me from doing that!"

"Even if Balak gives me his palace full of silver and gold, I won't double-cross the command of the LORD and do anything whether good or evil on my own initiative, because I'm going to say whatever the LORD says.'

A declaration from one who hears what God has to say, who knows what the Most High knows, who saw the vision that the Almighty revealed, who keeps stumbling with open eyes.

Finally, he uttered this prophetic statement: "Ah, who can live, unless God makes it happen?

Then Balaam got up, returned to his country, and Balak went on his way.

for him and for his descendants after him, too, a covenant of perpetual priesthood, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelis."

The descendants of Gad, listed according to their families, included: From Zephon, the family of the descendants of Zephon; from Haggi, the family of the descendants of Haggi; from Shuni, the family of the descendants of Shuni;

These families of the descendants of Gad numbered 40,500.

"May the LORD God of the spirits of all living creatures appoint a man over the community

One goat is to be offered at regular intervals as a sin offering to the LORD, accompanied by its corresponding drink offering."

Then present one goat for a sin offering to make atonement for you,

and one goat to make atonement for you.

Furthermore, you are to purify every garment that is, everything made of leather, goat's hair, or containing wood."

Now, the descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad happened to be joint owners of a very large herd of cattle. When they observed that Jazer and Gilead were good grazing lands for cattle,

the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben approached Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community and said,

"Will your relatives have to go to war while you remain here?" Moses asked the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben in response.

Then the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben spoke up. "Your servants will do exactly what our master has commanded." They said.

telling them, "If the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben cross over the Jordan River with you, that is, all of their soldiers who've been equipped for battle in the LORD's presence, so that the land is subjugated right before your eyes, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as their possession.

"We'll do just what the LORD told your servants," the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben responded.

So Moses gave to the descendants of Gad, to the descendants of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Joseph's son Manasseh the kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the whole land with its cities, and even the territories surrounding it.

The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

They traveled from Iyim, then rested in Dibon-gad.

They traveled from Dibon-gad, then rested in Almon-diblathaim.

The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, as defined by their ancestral houses, have received their inheritance.

But when they get married to one of the descendants of the tribes of Israel, their inheritances are to be withdrawn from our father's inheritance and added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are to belong. Consequently, it is to be withdrawn from the portion of our inheritance.

This is what the LORD is commanding the daughters of Zelophehad: If they decide it's a good idea in their opinion to get married only within the family of their father's tribe, then let them get married
