But I have said unto you that ye shall enjoy their land, and that I will give it unto you to possess it: even a land that floweth with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other nations:

Of a beast that dieth alone or is rent with wild beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.

"Speak unto Aaron and his sons and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel or stranger in Israel that will offer his offering: whatsoever vow or freewill offering it be which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering to reconcile them selves,

If a man will offer a peace offering unto the LORD and separate a vow or a freewill offering of the oxen or the flock, it must be without deformity, that it may be accepted. There may be no blemish therein:

When ye will offer a thank offering unto the LORD, ye shall so offer it that ye may be accepted.

And whatsoever soul do any manner work that day, the same I will destroy from among his people.

"'Then number seven weeks of years, that is, seven times seven years: and the space of the seven weeks of years will be unto thee forty nine years.

I will send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years:

"'If thou wilt have bondservants and maidens, thou shalt buy them of the heathen that are round about you,

then I will send you rain in the right season and your land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field shall give their fruit.

And I will send peace in your land, that ye shall sleep, and no man shall make you afraid. And I will rid evil beasts out of your land, and there shall no sword go throughout your land.

And I will turn unto you and increase you and multiply you, and set up my covenant with you.

I will make my dwelling place among you, and my soul shall not loathe you.

And I will walk among you and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

"'But and if ye will not hearken unto me, nor will do all these my commandments,

or if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your souls refuse my laws, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but shall break mine covenant:

then I will do this again unto you: I will visit you with vexations, swelling, and fevers, that shall make your eyes dazzle; and with sorrows of heart. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

And I will set my face against you and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no man followeth you.

"'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then will I punish you seven times more for your sins,

and will break the pride of your strength. For I will make the heaven over you as hard as iron, and your land as hard as brass.

And if ye walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

I will send in wild beasts upon you, which shall rob you of your children and destroy your cattle, and make you so few in number that your highways shall grow unto a wilderness.

And if ye will not be learned yet for all this, but shall walk contrary unto me,

then will I also walk contrary unto you and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

I will send a sword upon you, that shall avenge my covenant with you. And when ye are fled unto your cities, I will send the pestilence among you: ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

"'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, but shall walk contrary unto me,

then I will walk contrary unto you also wrathfully, and will also chastise you seven times for your sins:

And I will destroy your altars built upon high hills, and overthrow your images, and cast your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your sanctuaries unto nought, and will not smell the savours of your sweet odours.

"'And I will bring the land unto a wilderness: so that your enemies which dwell therein shall wonder at it.

And I will straw you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be waste, and your cities desolate.

"'And upon them that are left alive of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies: so that the sound of a leaf that falleth, shall chase them and they shall flee as though they fled a sword, and shall fall no man following them.

Therefore I also will walk contrary unto them, and will bring them into the land of their enemies. And then at the least way their uncircumcised hearts shall be tamed, and then they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds.

"'And I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham, and will think on the land.

And yet, for all that; when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not so cast them away nor my soul shall not so abhor them, that I will utterly destroy them and break mine covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

I will therefore remember unto them the first covenant made when I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen to be their God: for I am the LORD.'"

"Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'If any man will give a singular vow unto the LORD according to the value of his soul,

And if he will buy it again, let him give the fifth part more to that it was set at.

If he that sanctified it will redeem his house, let him give the fifth part of the money that it was judged at thereto, and it shall be his.

"'If he that sanctified the field will redeem it again, let him put the fifth part of the price that it was set at thereunto,

and it shall be his: if he will not, it shall be redeemed no more.

If any man will redeem ought of his tithes, let him add the fifth part more thereto.

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 Moses said unto Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We go unto the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it you.' Go with us and we will do thee good, for the LORD hath promised good unto Israel."

And he said unto him, "I will not: but will go to mine own land and to my kindred."

And if thou go with us, look what goodness the LORD showeth upon us, the same we will show upon thee."

And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone.

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.

And Moses said, "Six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast said, 'I will give them flesh and they shall eat a month long.'

And he said, "Hear my words. If there be a prophet of the LORD's among you, I will show myself unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

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.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them?

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.

If thou shalt kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations which have heard the fame of thee, will speak, saying,

But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer 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.

And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused,

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 they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned."

And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass:

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you."

and will offer an offering upon the fire unto the LORD, whether it be a burnt offering or a special vow or freewill offering or if it be in your principal feasts to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the oxen or of the flock:

And if there be a stranger with you or be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD: even as ye do, so he shall do.

"Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye be come in to the land whither I will bring you,

then when ye will eat of the bread of the land, ye shall give a heave offering unto the LORD.

and spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will show who is his and who is holy, and will take them unto him, and whomsoever he hath chosen, he will cause to come to him.

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come.

Moreover, thou hast brought us unto no land that floweth with milk and honey, neither hast given us possessions of fields or of vines. Either wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? We will not come."

And they fell upon their faces, and said, "O most mighty God of the spirits of all flesh; one man hath sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?"

And put them in the tabernacle of witness where I will meet you.

And his rod whom I chose, shall blossom: So I will make cease from me the grudgings of the children of Israel which they grudge against you."

let us go a good fellowship through thy country: we will not go through the fields nor through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will go by the highway and neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left, until we be past thy country."

And the children of Israel said unto him, "We will go by the beaten way: and if either we or our cattle drink of thy water, we will pay for it, we will do no more but pass through by foot only."

Then Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD and said, "If thou wilt give this people into our hands, we will destroy their cities."

"Let us go through thy land; We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go along by the common way, until we be past thy country."

And he said unto them, "Tarry here all night and I will bring you word, even as the LORD shall say unto me." And the lords of Moab abode with Balaam.

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the lords of Balak, "Get you unto your land, for the LORD will not suffer me to go with you."

for I will greatly promote thee unto great honour, and will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me! Come therefore I pray thee, curse me this people.'"

Nevertheless tarry ye here all night: that I may know what the LORD will say unto me once more."

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 Balaam said unto Balak, "Stand by the sacrifice, while I go to know whether the LORD will come and meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me, I will tell thee." And he went forthwith.

For there is no sorcerer in Jacob, nor soothsayer in Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'What God hath wrought!'

And Balak said unto Balaam, "Come, I pray thee; I will bring thee yet unto another place: so peradventure it shall please God that thou mayest curse them there."

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave the people in the wilderness: so shall ye destroy all this folk."

And they went near him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our sheep and for our cattle, and cities for our children:

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.

For we will not inherit with them on yonder side, Jordan forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side, Jordan eastward."

And Moses said unto them, "If ye will do this thing, that ye will go all harnessed before the LORD to war,

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

But and if ye will not do so, behold, ye sin against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

And the Children of Gad and of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, "Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

But we thy servants will go all harnessed for the war unto battle before the LORD, as my lord hath said."

and said unto them, "If the children of Gad and Reuben will go with you over Jordan, all prepared to fight before the LORD: then when the land is subdued unto you, give them the land of Gilead to possess.

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 the children of Gad and Ruben answered, saying, "That which the LORD hath said unto thy servants we will do.

We will go harnessed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall be on this side the Jordan."

But and if ye will not drive out the inhabiters of the land before you, then those which ye let remain of them, shall be thorns in your eyes and darts in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
