And this shall be thine: the heave offering of their gifts, throughout all the wave offerings of the children of Israel, for I have given them unto thee and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, to be a duty forever: and all that are clean in thy house, shall eat of it,

all the fat of the oil, of the wine and of the corn: their first fruits which they give unto the LORD that have I given unto thee.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, "Thou shalt have none inheritance in their land, nor part among them. For I am thy part and thy inheritance among the children of Israel.

And behold, I have given the children of Levi the tenth in Israel to inherit, for the service which they serve in the tabernacle of witness,

For the tithes of the children of Israel which they heave unto the LORD, I have given the Levites to inherit. Wherefore I have said unto them, 'Among the children of Israel ye shall inherit none inheritance.'"

"Speak unto the Levites and say unto them, 'When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you of them to your inheritance, ye shall take a heave offering of that same for the LORD: even the tenth of that tithe.

"And thou shalt say unto them, 'When ye have taken away the fat of it from it, it shall be counted unto the Levites, as the increase of corn and wine.

And ye shall bear no sin by the reason of it, when ye have taken from it the fat of it: neither shall ye unhallow the hallowed things of the children of Israel, and so shall ye not die.'"

And all the vessels that be open which have no lid nor covering upon them, are unclean.

Why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD unto this wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die here?

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, "Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."

how our fathers went down into Egypt, and how we have dwelt in Egypt a long time, and, how the Egyptians vexed both us and our fathers.

"Let Aaron be put unto his people, for he shall not come into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel: because ye disobeyed my mouth at the water of strife.

And the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against thee: make intercession to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." And Moses made intercession for the people.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sihon, the king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon."

And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, "What have I done unto thee, that thou smitest me thus three times?"

And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me. Now therefore if it displease thine eyes, I will turn again."

And God came unto Balaam, and Balaam said unto him, "I have prepared seven altars, and have offered upon every altar, an ox and a ram."

Behold: I have begun to bless, and have blessed; and cannot go back therefrom.

Behold, the people shall rise up as a lioness and heave up himself as a lion; and shall not lie down again, until he have eaten of the prey and drunk of the blood of them that are slain!"

and he shall have it and his seed after him, even the covenant of the priest's office forever, because he was jealous for his God's sake and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'"

for they have troubled you with their wiles with thee, which they have beguiled you, through Peor and through their sister Cozbi the daughter of a lord in Midian, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake."

And speak unto the children of Israel saying, 'If a man die and have no son, ye shall turn his inheritance unto his daughter.

If he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

If he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

If he have no father's brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto him that is next to him of his kindred, and let him possess it. And this shall be unto the children of Israel an ordinance, and a law, as the LORD hath commanded Moses.'"

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and behold, the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

The vow of a widow and of her that is divorced, and all that they have bound their souls withal, shall stand in effect with them.

and said unto them, "Have ye saved the women alive?

Now, therefore, slay all the men-children and the women that have lain with men, fleshly.

But all the women-children that have not lain with men, keep alive for yourselves.

And lodge without the host seven days, all that have killed any person and all that have touched any dead body, and purify both yourselves and your prisoners; the third day and the seventh.

"Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war, which were under our hand, and there lacked not one man of them.

We have therefore brought a present unto the LORD: what every man found of jewels of gold: chains, bracelets, rings, earrings and spangles, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD."

which country the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle: and we thy servants have cattle.

Wherefore," said they, "if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants to possess, and bring us not over Jordan."

'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me:

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed me continually.'

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place. And our children shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabiters of the land.

And we will not return unto our houses until the children of Israel have inherited: every man his inheritance.

and will go all of you in harness over Jordan before the LORD, until he have cast out his enemies before him,

Build your cities for your children and folds for your sheep, and see ye do that ye have spoken."

But and if they will not go over with you in harness, then they shall have their possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

And possess the land and dwell therein, for I have given you the land to enjoy it.

for the tribe of the children of Reuben have received, in the households of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad in their fathers' households; and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance -

that is, to wit, two tribes and a half have received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising."

And of the cities which ye shall give out of the possessions of the children of Israel, ye shall give many out of their possessions that have much and few out of their possessions that have little: so that every tribe shall give of his cities unto the Levites, according to the inheritance which he inheriteth."

because he should have bidden in his free town until the death of the high priest, and after the death of the high priest, he shall return again unto the land of his possession.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel at the mouth of the LORD, saying, "The tribe of the children of Joseph have said well.

"The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, 'Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in therefore and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.'

And then we departed from Horeb and walked through all that great and terrible wilderness, as ye have seen along by the way that leadeth unto the hills of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us, and came to Kadesh Barnea.

How shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller than we, and the cities are great and walled even up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.'

and in the wilderness: as thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee as a man should bear his son, throughout all the way which ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.'

Then ye answered and said unto me, 'We have sinned against the LORD: we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war and were ready to go up into the hills,

'Ye have compassed these mountains long enough; turn you northward.

that ye provoke them not, for I will not give you of their land, no not so much as a foot breadth: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau to possess.

Then the LORD said unto me, 'See that thou vex not the Moabites, neither provoke them to battle, for I will not give thee of their land to possess: because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot to possess.'

and shalt come nigh unto the children of Ammon: see that thou vex them not, nor yet provoke them. For I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon to possess; because I have given it unto the children of Lot to possess.'

'Rise up, take your journey and go over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon, and his land. Go to, and conquer and provoke him to battle.

And the LORD said unto me, 'Behold, I have begun to set Sihon and his land before thee: go to and conquer, that thou mayest possess his land.'

And the LORD said unto me, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand and thou shalt deal with him as thou dealtest with Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon.'

Your wives only, your children and your cattle - for I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given you,

until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren as well as unto you, and until they also have conquered the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then return again every man unto his possession which I have given you.'

And I warned Joshua the same time, saying, 'Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings; even so the LORD will do unto all kingdoms whither thou goest.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did unto Baal-Peor: for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, the LORD your God hath destroyed from among you.

Behold, I have taught you ordinances and laws, such as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do even so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

Keep them therefore and do them, for that is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations: which, when they have heard all these ordinances, shall say, 'O what a wise and understanding people is this great nation.'

Take heed to thyself therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons.

Thou shalt have therefore none other gods in my presence.

and ye said, 'Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the fire, and we have seen this day that God may talk with a man and he yet live.

For what is any flesh that he should hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire as we have done and should yet live:

And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee, they have well said all that they have said.

and when the LORD thy God hath set them before thee that thou shouldest smite them: see that thou utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have compassion on them.

Thou shalt bring to nought all nations which the LORD thy God delivereth thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them neither shalt thou serve their gods, for that shall be thy decay.

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their names from under heaven. There shall no man stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedest the LORD thy God in the wilderness: for since the day that thou camest out of the land of Egypt until ye came unto this place, ye have rebelled against the LORD.

Also in Horeb ye angered the LORD so that the LORD was wroth with you, even to have destroyed you,

and said unto me, 'Up, and get thee down quickly from hence, for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have marred themselves. They are turned at once out of the way, which I commanded them, and have made them a god of metal.'

For I was afraid of the wrath and fierceness wherewith the LORD was angry with you, even for to have destroyed you; But the LORD heard my petition at that time also.

The LORD was very angry with Aaron also, even for to have destroyed him: But I made intercession for Aaron also the same time.

Yea, and when the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, 'Go up and conquer the land which I have given you,' ye disobeyed the mouth of the LORD your God, and neither believed him nor hearkened unto his voice.

Thus ye have been disobedient unto the LORD, since the day that I knew you.

And I fell before the LORD, forty days and forty nights which I lay there, for the LORD was minded to have destroyed you.

Wherefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance with their brethren. The LORD he is their inheritance, as the LORD thy God hath promised them.

for he is thy praise, and he is thy God that hath done these great and terrible things for thee, which thine eyes have seen.

And call to mind this day that which your children have neither known nor seen: even the nurture of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand and his stretched out arm;

For your eyes have seen all the great deeds of the LORD which he did.

and a curse, if ye will not hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God: but turn out of the way which I command you this day to go after strange gods which ye have not known.'

but ye shall enquire the place which the LORD your God shall have chosen out of all your tribes to put his name there and there to dwell.

but in the place which the LORD shall have chosen among one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou mayest kill of thy oxen and of thy sheep which the LORD hath given thee as I have commanded thee, and thou mayest eat in thine own city whatsoever thy soul lusteth.

See thou eat it not, therefore, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt have done that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

see thou consent not unto him nor hearken unto him. No, let not thine eye pity him nor have compassion on him, nor keep him secret, but cause him to be slain.

that certain being the children of Belial are gone out from among you and have moved the inhabiters of their city, saying, 'Let us go and serve strange gods which ye have not known.'

And see that there cleave nought of the damned thing in thine hand, that the LORD may turn from his fierce wrath and show thee mercy and have compassion on thee and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers:

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: All that have fins and scales.

so that they have gone and served strange gods and worshipped them, whether it be the sun or moon or anything contained in heaven which I forbade,

then thou shalt bring forth that man or that woman which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates and shalt stone them with stones and they shall die.

Also he shall not have too many wives, lest his heart turn away, neither shall he gather him silver and gold too much.
