And they journeyed from Marah, and came to Elim. And in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there.

And they journeyed from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

And Aaron the priest went up onto mount Hor at the commandment of LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

And LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

And ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it.

And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families. To the more ye shall give more inheritance, and to the few thou shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his. Ye shall inherit ac

And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it),

And your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin. And the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea. And it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon.

And the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

From mount Hor ye shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath. And the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad.

And the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

And the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. And the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.

And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about.

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe.

For the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance.

The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

And ye shall take one ruler of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

These are those whom LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

And LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Command the sons of Israel, that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. And ye shall give suburbs for the cities round about them to the Levites.

And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.

And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

And ye shall measure outside the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the m

And of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, there shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee to. And besides them ye shall give forty-two cities.

All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, them with their suburbs.

And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye shall take many, and from the few ye shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

then ye shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.

And the cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.

But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.

or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died, he who smote him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.

or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, nor sought his harm,

then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.

And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge where he fled. And he shall dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who

And these things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death.

And ye shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

And they said, LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel. And my lord was commanded by LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they s

And when the jubilee of the sons of Israel shall be, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak right.

This is the thing which LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best, only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.

So no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall remove from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall cling each one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

And every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the sons of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.

So no inheritance shall move from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cling each one to his own inheritance.

for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophedad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.

These are the commandments and the ordinances which LORD commanded by Moses to the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.

It is eleven days [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.

And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, according to all that LORD had given him in commandment to them,

Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near thereto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanit

Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.

LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Take for you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.

And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou have spoken is good to do.

So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment. Ye shall hear the small and the great alike. Ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you ye shall bring to me, and I will hea

And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as LORD our God commanded us, and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

And I said to you, Ye have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which LORD our God gives to us.

Behold, LORD thy God has set the land before thee. Go up, take possession, as LORD, the God of thy fathers, has spoken to thee. Fear not, neither be dismayed.

And ye came near to me, all of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.

And they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which LORD our God gives to us.

And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

LORD your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

and in the wilderness, where thou have seen how that LORD thy God bore thee, as a man bears his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.

who went before you in the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and I will give to him the land that he has trodden upon, and to his sons, because he has wholly followed LORD.

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before thee, he shall go in there. Encourage thou him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

Moreover your little ones, who ye said would be a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against LORD, we will go up and fight according to all that LORD our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

And LORD said to me, Say to them, Do not go up, neither fight, for I am not among you, lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

So I spoke to you, and ye did not hearken, but ye rebelled against the commandment of LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

And the Amorites, who dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

And ye returned and wept before LORD, but LORD did not hearken to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode [there].

Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as LORD spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.

And LORD spoke to me, saying,

And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.

Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

And LORD said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
