Speak to the sons of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against LORD, and that soul shall be guilty,

And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.

And every man's hallowed things shall be his. Whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.

and a man lays with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act,

and the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled, or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled,

And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say to the woman, If no man has lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causes the

And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean, then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.

And there were certain men who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day,

and those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of LORD in its appointed season among the sons of Israel?

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover to LORD.

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings. And they shall be to you for a m

And they first took their journey according to the commandment of LORD by Moses.

And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee, inasmuch as thou know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shall be to us instead of eyes.

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that whatever good LORD shall do to us, the same we will do to thee.

And the cloud of LORD was over them by day when they set forward from the camp.

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those who hate thee flee before thee.

And LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them. And bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.

but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you, because ye have rejected LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?

Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.

And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron. And Ahaiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

Amalek dwells in the land of the South. And the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country. And the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.

And why does LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

And now, I pray thee, let the power of LORD be great, according as thou have spoken, saying,

LORD is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth gene

but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of LORD,

Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley. Tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.

And your sons shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

I, LORD, have spoken, surely I will do this to all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,

even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before LORD.

Do not go up, for LORD is not among you, that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.

For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword. Because ye have turned back from following LORD, therefore LORD will not be with you.

and will make an offering by fire to LORD, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to LORD, of the herd, or of the flock,

And thou shall offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.

Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.

All who are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.

And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who sojourns [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations. As ye are, so shall the sojourner be before LORD.

One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who sojourns with you.

then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering to LORD.

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that errs, when he sins unwittingly, before LORD, to make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

But the soul that does anything with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemes LORD, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Because he has despised the word of LORD, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
