from thirty years up unto fifty, all that were able to go forth with the host to do service in the tabernacle of witness.

"Command the children of Israel that they put out of the host all the lepers and all that have issues and all that are defiled upon the dead;

whether they be males or females ye shall put them out of the host, that they defile not the tents among which I dwell."

"Speak unto the children of Israel, whether it be man or woman, 'When they have sinned any manner of sin which a man doeth wherewith a man trespasseth against the LORD, so that the soul hath done amiss:

then they shall knowledge their sins which they have done, and restore again the hurt that they have done in the whole, and put the fifth part of it more thereto, and give it unto him whom he hath trespassed against.

But and if he that maketh the amends have no man to do it to, then the amends that is made shall be the LORD's and the priest's, beside the ram of the atonement offering wherewith he maketh an atonement for himself.

so that another man lie with her, fleshly; and the thing be hid from the eyes of her husband and is not come to light that she is defiled - for there is no witness against her, inasmuch as she was not taken with the manner -

Then let her husband bring her unto the priest and bring an offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, but shall pour none oil thereunto, nor put frankincense thereon: for it is an offering of jealousy, and an offering that maketh remembrance of sin.

and let him take holy water in an earthen vessel and of the dust that is in the floor of the habitation, and put it into the water.

and let the priest conjure her with the conjuration of the curse, and say unto her: the LORD make thee a curse and a conjuration among thy people: so that the LORD make thy thigh rot, and thy womb to burst,

and this bitter cursing water go into the bowels of thee, that thy womb burst and thy thigh rot. And the wife shall say: Amen, Amen.

And when the cursing water is in her that it is bitter,

And when he hath made her drink the water, if she be defiled and have trespassed against her husband, then shall the cursing water go into her and be so bitter, that her womb shall burst and her thigh shall rot, and she shall be a curse among her people.

And if she be not defiled but is clean, then she shall have no harm, but that she may conceive.

or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, so that he is jealous over his wife: then he shall bring her before the LORD, and the priest shall minister all this law unto her,

Moreover he shall eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, no not so much as the kernels or the husk of the grape.

"'And if it fortune that any man, by chance, die suddenly before him and defile the head of his abstinence, then must he shave his head the day of his cleansing: even the seventh day he shall shave it.

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering and make an atonement for him, as concerning that he sinned upon the dead, and shall also hallow his head the same day

and he shall abstain unto the LORD the time of his abstinency, and shall bring a lamb of an year old for a trespass offering: but the days that were before are lost, because his abstinence was defiled.

and a basket of sweet bread of fine flour mingled with oil and wafers of sweet bread anointed with oil with meat offerings and drink offerings that long thereto.

This is the law of the abstainer which hath vowed his offering unto the LORD for his abstinence, besides that his hand can get. And according to the vow which he vowed, even so he must do in the law of his abstinence.'"

For ye shall put my name upon the children of Israel, that I may bless them.'"

then the princes of Israel, heads over the houses of their fathers which were the lords of the tribes that stood and numbered,

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the office that pertained to them was holy, and therefore they must bear upon shoulders.

And the princes offered unto the dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, and brought their gifts before the altar.

He that offered his offering the first day, was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

every charger containing a hundred and thirty sicles of silver, and every bowl seventy so that all the silver of all the vessels, was two thousand and four hundred sicles of the holy sicle.

And the twelve golden spoons which were full of cense, contained ten sicles apiece of the holy sicle: so that all the gold of the spoons, was a hundred and twenty sicles.

All the oxen that were brought for the burnt offerings were twelve and the rams twelve and the lambs twelve of a year old apiece, with the meat offerings: with he goats for sin offerings.

And all the oxen of the peace offerings were twenty four, the rams sixty, the goats sixty, and lambs of a year old apiece sixty and this was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed.

And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of witness to speak with him, he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of witness: even from between the two cherubims he spake unto him.

"Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, 'When thou puttest on the lamps see that they light all seven upon the forefront of the candlestick.'"

And thou shalt separate the Levites, from among the children of Israel, that they be mine:

and after that, let them go and do the service of the tabernacle of witness. Cleanse them and wave them,

for they are given unto me from among the children of Israel: for I have taken them unto me for all the firstborn that open any matrix among the children of Israel.

"For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: because the same time that I smote the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself:

and have given them unto Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, if they come nigh unto the sanctuary."

And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did unto the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses.

And after that, they went in to do their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron and his sons. And according as the LORD had commanded Moses as concerning the Levites, even so they did unto them.

but shall minister unto their brethren in the tabernacle of witness, and there wait, but shall do no more service. And see that thou do after this manner unto the Levites in their waiting times."

And Moses bade the children of Israel that they should offer Passover,

and they offered Passover the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: and did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

And it chanced that certain men which were defiled with a dead corpse, that they might not offer Passover the same day, came before Moses and Aaron the same day,

and said, "We are defiled upon a dead corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering unto the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel?"

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 the same day that the habitation was reared up, a cloud covered it on high upon the tabernacle of witness: and at even there was upon the habitation, as it were the similitude of fire until the morning.

And so it was always, that the cloud covered it by day, and the similitude of fire by night.

If it chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the habitation, then they kept their tents at the mouth of the LORD: and they journeyed also at the commandment of the LORD.

And if it happened that the cloud was upon the habitation from evening unto morning and was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

"Make thee two trumpets of hard silver, that thou mayest use them to call the congregation together, and when the host shall journey.

And when ye trump the first time, the hosts that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

And when ye trump the second time, then the hosts that lie on the south side shall take their journey: for they shall trump when they take their journeys.

"And when ye shall go to war in your land against your enemies that vex you, ye shall trump with the trumpets and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

Also, when ye be merry in your feast days and in the first days of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt sacrifices and peaceofferings, that it may be a remembrance of you before your God. I am the LORD your God."

And it came to pass the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the habitation of witness.

And when the ark went forth, Moses said, "Rise up LORD and let thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee flee before thee."

And the rascal people that was among them fell a lusting. And the children of Israel also went to, and wept, and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat?

And Moses said unto the LORD, "Wherefore dealest thou so cruelly with thy servant? Wherefore do I not find favour in thy sight, seeing that thou puttest the weight of this people upon me?

Have I conceived all this people, or have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, 'Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurse beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?'

Where should I have flesh to give unto all this people? For they weep unto me saying, 'Give us flesh that we may eat.'

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto me seventy of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness, and let them stand there with thee.

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.

but even a month long, and until it come out at the nostrils of you, that ye be ready to parbreak: because that ye have cast the LORD aside which is among you, and have wept before him saying: Why came we out of Egypt?"

And the LORD came down in a cloud and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And as the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did nought else.

But there remained two of the men in the host: the one called Eldad, and the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them for they were of them that were written, but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the host.

And Moses said unto him, "Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the LORD's people could prophesy, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them."

And the people stood up all that night and on the morrow, and gathered quails. And he that gathered the least, gathered ten homers full. And they killed them round about the host.

And they called the name of the place, the graves of lust: because they buried the people that lusted there.

and the cloud departed from the tabernacle. And behold, Miriam was become leprous, as it were snow. And when Aaron looked upon Miriam and saw that she was leprous,

Oh, let her not be as one that came dead out of his mother's womb: for half her flesh is eaten away."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the host seven days, and after that let her be received in again."

and see the land, what manner thing it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, either few or many;

and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what manner of cities they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents or walled towns;

and what manner of land it is, whether it be fat or lean, and whether there be trees therein or not. And be of a good courage, and bring of the fruits of the land." And it was about the time that grapes are first ripe.

And they told him, saying, "We came unto the land whither thou sendedst us, and surely it is a land that floweth with milk and honey and here is of the fruit of it.

Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great, and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

But the men that went up with him said, "We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."

And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched, unto the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we have gone through, to search it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabiters thereof, and the people that we saw in it are men of stature.

And the multitude cried out, and the people wept throughout that night,

and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness.

Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?"

And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes

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.

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.

there shall not one see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that railed upon me, see 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.

after the number of the days in which ye searched out the land forty days, and every day a year: so that they shall bear your unrighteousness forty years, and ye shall feel my vengeance.

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 the men which Moses sent to search the land, and which - when they came again - made all the people to murmur against it, in that they brought up a slander upon the land;

died for their bringing up that evil slander upon it, and were plagued before the LORD.

But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not slain before your enemies.

Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, came down and smote them and hewed them: even unto Hormah.

Then, let him that offereth his offering unto the LORD, bring also a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil,

And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine, that is an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

This is the manner that shall be done unto one ox, one ram, a lamb or a kid.

"'All that are of yourselves shall do these things after this manner, when he offereth an offering of sweet savour unto the LORD.

One ordinance shall serve both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger. And it shall be an ordinance forever among your children after you, that the stranger and ye shall be like before the LORD.
