And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

And the woman of Midian who was put to death was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was the head of a family in Midian.

Then the Lord said to Moses,

For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel.

Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt.

And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.

These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand, two hundred.

The sons of Judah, Er and Onan: and Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan.

These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand, seven hundred.

These are the families of Ephraim as they were numbered, thirty-two thousand, five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph by their families.

And the Lord said to Moses,

Let there be a division of the land among these, for their heritage, in relation to the number of names.

To those families who are more in number, give a greater heritage; to those who are less in number, a smaller part: to every one let the heritage be given in relation to the number in his family.

Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

And the Lord said to Moses,

What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

Then Moses said to the Lord,

To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

And the Lord said to Moses,

Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.

Say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you are to give to the Lord; he-lambs of the first year without any mark, two every day as a regular burned offering.

It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

And on the Sabbath day, two he-lambs of the first year, without any mark, and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:

This is the burned offering for every Sabbath day, in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.

And on the first day of every month you are to give a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark;

And three tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for every ox; and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one sheep;

And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine for an ox, and the third part of a hin for a male sheep, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burned offering for every month through all the months of the year.

And one he-goat for a sin-offering to the Lord; it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering and its drink offering.

And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Lord's Passover.

On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a feast; for seven days let your food be unleavened cakes.

On the first day there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no sort of field-work:

And you are to give an offering made by fire, a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:

And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep;

And one he-goat for a sin-offering to take away your sin.

These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.

In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.

Then on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:

And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year;

And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

And one he-goat to take away your sin.

These are in addition to the regular burned offering and its meal offering; take care that they are without any mark, and let them be offered with their drink offerings.

In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a holy meeting; on it you may do no field-work; let the day be marked by the blowing of horns;

And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them:

And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

And one he-goat for a sin-offering, to take away your sin:

In addition to the burned offering of the new moon, and its meal offering, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings, as they are ordered, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And on the tenth day of this seventh month there will be a holy meeting; keep yourselves from pleasure, and do no sort of work;

And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year: only those without any mark on them may be used:

And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

One he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the offering for taking away your sin, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings.

And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month let there be a holy meeting; do no field-work, and keep a feast to the Lord for seven days;

And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, thirteen oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, all without any mark on them;

And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for every one of the thirteen oxen, two tenth parts for every male sheep,

And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

On the second day of the feast give an offering of twelve oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them;

With the meal offering and the drink offerings for the ox, the male sheep, and the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

These are the offerings which you are to give to the Lord at your regular feasts, in addition to the offerings for an oath, and the free offerings you give, for your burned offerings and your drink offerings and your peace-offerings.

And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord.

When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;

If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband.
