And the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

For six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;

But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.

And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase

And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.

And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;

And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

And the Lord said to Moses,

And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.

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,

For the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

The children of Israel are to put up their tents in the order of their families, by the flags of their fathers' houses, facing the Tent of meeting on every side.

Those whose tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.

On the south side is the flag of the children of Reuben, in the order of their armies, with Elizur, the son of Shedeur, as their chief.

On the west side will be the flag of the children of Ephraim, with Elishama, the son of Ammihud, as their chief.

On the north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, as their chief.

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.

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.

The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

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.

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,

And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord said to Moses,

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,

If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

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

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

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 these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

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

And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.

At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.

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.

But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

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 when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.

And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:

Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.

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 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 the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

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.

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.

And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

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,

Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi.

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 said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.

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.

But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

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!

And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.

Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.

But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

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;

So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:

But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
