And they will say to the inhabitant of this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are among this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

And will You kill this people as one man? Then the nations who have heard Your fame will speak, saying,

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has slain them in the wilderness.

I beseech You, pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your mercy, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmurs against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they murmur against Me.

Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me,

But as for you, your bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. They shall be destroyed in this wilderness, and there they shall die.

All that are born of the country shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.

Do this. Take fire-pans, Korah and all his company,

For this cause you and all your company are gathered against Jehovah. And what is Aaron, that you murmur against him?

Separate yourselves from among this congregation, so that I may devour them in a moment.

And Moses said, By this you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works, and that not from my own heart.

Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire, every sacrifice of theirs, every food offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall give Me. These are most holy for you and for your sons.

And this is yours, the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute forever. Everyone that is clean in your house shall eat it.

This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke ever came.

This is the law when a man dies in a tent. All that come into the tent, and all in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

And why have you brought up the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, so that we and our cattle should die there?

And why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this evil place? It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates. And there is no water to drink.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now you rebels. Must we bring water for you out of this rock?

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not believe Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

And Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah and said, If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will completely destroy their cities.

And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water. And our soul hates this light bread.

Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well. Sing to it.

And the sons of Israel pulled up stakes and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now this company is licking up all around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

Therefore, I pray you, come now and curse this people for me. For they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail so that we may strike them, and so that I may drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

For I will raise you up to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me. Please come then and curse this people for me.

But please now stay here also this night so that I may know what more Jehovah will say to me.

But the Angel of Jehovah stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall on this side, and a wall on that side.

And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass, upon which you have ridden ever since I was yours, to this day? Was I ever known to do so to you? And he said, No.

And Jehovah met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to Balak and say this.

Surely, there is no spell against Jacob, nor any fortune-telling against Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What God has worked!

And now, behold, I go to my people. Come! I will make known to you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.

And the sons of Eliab, Nemuel, and Dathan and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram who were famous in the congregation, who fought against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they fought against Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Get up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

And you shall say to them, This is the fire offering which you shall offer to Jehovah: two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, a continual burnt offering.

this is the burnt offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and its drink offering.

And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine to a bull, and the third of a hin to a ram, and a fourth a hin to a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast. Seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

In this way you shall offer daily, seven days, the bread of the fire offering, a sweet savor to Jehovah. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

And you shall have a holy convocation on the tenth of this seventh month. And you shall afflict your souls. You shall not do any work.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded:

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to battle, This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah commanded Moses.

And, they said, If we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over Jordan.

For if you turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness. And you shall destroy all this people.

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of Jordan, eastward.

And Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will go armed before Jehovah to war,

and the land is subdued before Jehovah, then afterwards you shall return and be guiltless before Jehovah and before Israel. And this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.

We will go over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, so that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

Command the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders.

And for the western border, you shall even have the Great Sea for a border. This shall be your west border.

And this shall be your northern border. From the Great Sea you shall point out for you Mount Hor.

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

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the end of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with the borders of it all around.

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

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.

And you shall measure from outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. And the city shall be in the middle. This shall be to them the open land of the cities.

You shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge.

This is the thing which Jehovah commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best. Only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.

beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Law, saying,

Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have had enough of dwelling in this mountain.

and in the wilderness where you have seen how Jehovah your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came into this place.

Yet in this thing you did not believe Jehovah your God,

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

You have gone around this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

For Jehovah your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand. He knows your walking through this great wilderness. Jehovah your God has been with you these forty years. You have lacked nothing.

as He did to the sons of Esau who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horim from before them. And they expelled them and lived in their place even to this day.

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him. For Jehovah your God hardened his spirit and made his heart stubborn so that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon to Mount Hermon,

And this is the land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer by the river Arnon, and half of Mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the men of Reuben and of Gad.

Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites. And he called them after his own name, Bashan (Towns of Jair) to this day.

And I commanded you at that time saying, Jehovah your God has given you this land to possess it. You shall pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel, all the sons of might.

I pray you, let me go over and see the good land beyond Jordan, this good hill-country and Lebanon.

But Jehovah was angry with me because of you and would not hear me. And Jehovah said to me, Let it be enough for you. Speak no more to Me of this matter.

Go up into the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and behold it with your eyes. For you shall not go over this Jordan.

But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him. For he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.

And you who held fast to Jehovah your God are alive, every one of you, this day.

And you shall keep and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

And who is a great nation whose statutes and judgments are so righteous as all this Law which I set before you today?

But I must die in this land; I must not go over Jordan. But you shall go over and possess that good land.

I call Heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land which you are crossing over Jordan to possess. You shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

For ask now of the days past which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, where there has been a thing as great as this, or has been heard any like it.

in order to drive out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

Therefore, know this day and consider within your heart, that Jehovah is God in Heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no other.

Therefore, you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you this day, so that it may go well with you and with your sons after you, and so that you may make your days longer upon the earth which Jehovah your God gives you forever.

Then Moses separated three cities on this side Jordan towards the sunrise,

And this is the Law which Moses set before the sons of Israel.

And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side Jordan toward the sunrise,

and all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the Slopes of Pisgah.

And Moses called all Israel and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, so that you may learn them and keep and do them.

Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, all of us here, alive today.

Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.

And Jehovah heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me. And Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.

And these words which I command you this day shall be in your heart.

And if we are careful to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He has commanded us, it shall be our righteousness.

But you shall deal with them in this way: you shall destroy their altars and break down their images, and cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire.

All the commandments which I command you this day shall you be careful to do, that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers.

and so that you might not say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
