one he-goat as a sin offering;

But the man who [is] clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt.

If you go [to] war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, you will signal with a loud noise on the trumpets. You will be remembered {before} Yahweh your God, and you will be rescued from your enemies.

"And on the day of your joy and in your appointed times, at the beginning of your months, you will blow on the trumpets in addition to your burnt offerings and in addition to the sacrifices of your fellowship offerings. And they will be as a memorial for you {before} your God; I [am] Yahweh your God."

Eliasaph son of Deuel [was] over the division of the tribe of the descendants of Gad.

Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, "We [are] setting out to the place that Yahweh said, 'I will give it to you'; go with us, and we will {treat you well} because {Yahweh promised} good concerning Israel."

Moreover, if you go with us, the good that Yahweh will do to us we will do to you."

And you will say to the people, 'Sanctify yourselves tomorrow, for you will eat meat because you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, "Who will feed us good meat? [It was] good for us in Egypt." Yahweh will give to you meat, and you will eat.

And Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, "God, {please heal her}!"

from the tribe of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi;

from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.

and whether the land that they [are] inhabiting [is] good or bad, and whether the cities they [are] inhabiting are camps or fortifications,

And they came up to the valley of Eshcol, and they cut off a vine branch and one cluster of grapes from there; they carried it on pole between two [men], [with] pomegranates and figs.

That place he called the valley of Eshcol on account of the cluster of grapes that the {Israelites} cut off from there.

And they said to all the community of the {Israelites}, "The land that we went through to explore [is] an {exceptionally good land}.

and if it was done unintentionally {without the knowledge} of the community, then the entire community must prepare one {young bull} as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

" 'If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat {in its first year} as a sin offering.

But the one {who acts presumptuously} from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.

Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.'"

so that you will remember and do all my commandments, and you will be holy for your God.

I [am] Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I [am] Yahweh your God."

[Is it] too little for you that the God of Israel set you apart from the community of Israel {to allow you to approach him} to do the work of the tabernacle of Yahweh, to stand {before} the community to serve them?

And they fell on their faces, and they said, "God, God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin and you become angry toward the entire community?"

"Get away from the midst of this community, and I will finish them in an instant," but they fell on their faces.

Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they [are] holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke [as] an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

Anyone who touches a corpse, the person of a human being who died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh, and that person will be cut off from Israel because the waters of impurity were not sprinkled on him. He will still be unclean, and uncleanness [is] on him.

But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person will be cut off from the midst of the assembly because he defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh; the water of impurity was not sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.

The people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the desert? There is no food and no water, and our hearts detest [this] miserable food."

And God came to Balaam and said, "Who [are] these men with you?"

And Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent [word] to me,

God said to Balaam, "You will not go with them; you will not curse the people, because they [are] blessed."

Balaam got up in the morning, and he said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your land, because Yahweh refused to allow me to go with you."

The princes of Moab got up and went to Balak, and they said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Even though Balak gives to me his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond {the command of Yahweh} my God to do a little or a lot.

And God came to Balaam [at] night, and he said to him, "If the men have come to call you, get up [and] go with them; but only the word that I will speak to you, you will do."

So Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he went with the princes of Moab.

But {God became angry} because he was going, and the angel of Yahweh stood in the road as an adversary to him; he [was] riding on his donkey, and two servants were with him.

Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I came to you now. Am I really able to speak anything at all? I speak the word that God puts in my mouth."

And God met with Balaam, and he said to him, "I have arranged seven altars, and I have offered a bull and a ram on the altar.

How can I curse [whom] God has not cursed, and how can I denounce [whom] Yahweh has not denounced?

God [is] not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of humankind, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do [it]? And has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it

He has no regard [for] evil in Jacob, and he does not see trouble in Israel; Yahweh his God [is] with him, and a shout of a king [is] among them.

God, who brings them out from Egypt, [is] like the strength of a wild ox for them.

Because [there is] no sorcery against Jacob, and [there is] no divination against Israel. Now it will be said to Jacob and Israel, what God has done!

Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please, come, I will take you to another place; perhaps {it will be acceptable to} God, and you will curse for me from there."

Balaam lift up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to its tribes, and the spirit of God was upon it.

the declaration of the hearer of God's words, who sees the revelation of Shaddai, falling down but [whose] eyes are uncovered.

How good are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel!

God, who brings him out from Egypt, [is] like the strength of a wild ox for him. He will devour [the] nations [who are] his enemies; he will break their bones; he will pierce [them with] his arrows.

'If Balak gave to me the fullness of his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond {the command of Yahweh} to do good or evil, from my heart; what Yahweh speaks, I will speak'?

the declaration of the hearer of God's words, and the knower of the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of Shaddai, who is falling, and [his] eyes [are] revealed.

Again he {uttered} his oracle and said, "Woe, who will live when God establishes this?

Then Balaam got up and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.

When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest saw, he got up from the midst of the community and took a spear in his hand.

and it will be for him and his {offspring} after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the {Israelites}.'"

The descendants of Gad according to their clans: of Zephon, the clan of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the clan of the Haggites; of Shuni, the clan of the Shunites;

These [were] the clans of the descendants of Gad according to the ones counted of them, forty thousand five hundred.

The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad had a very large number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold it [was] a place for livestock.

The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben came, and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, saying,

But Moses said to the descendants of Gad and to the descendants of Reuben, "Will your brothers go to war while you yourselves live here?

So the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben said to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands.

Moses said to them, "If the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, everyone who is armed for the war, cross over the Jordan {before} Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, you will give them the land of Gilead as property.

The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben answered and said, "What Yahweh has commanded your servants, we will do.

So Moses gave to them, to the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, and to half of the tribe of Joseph's son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon the king of Amorites and the kingdom of Og the king of the Bashan, the land with its cities [and their] territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer,

They set out from Iyim and camped at Dibon Gad.

They set out from Dibon Gad and camped at Almon-Diblatayim.

"Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, {saying}, 'You have stayed {long enough} at this mountain.

Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and look; you [are] today as the stars of the heaven {in number}.

Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, may he add to you as you are [now] a thousand times, and may he bless you just as he {promised you}.

"And you answered me, and you said, 'The thing you have said to do is good.'

You must not {be partial} {in your judgment}; hear [out] the small [person] as [also] the great [person]; {do not be intimidated by any person}, because the judgment [is] God's; and the case that is too difficult for you, bring [it] to me, and I will hear it [out].'

"Then we set out from Horeb, and we went [through] the whole [of] that great and terrible desert that you saw [on] the way [to] the hill country of the Amorites as Yahweh our God had commanded us, and [so] we came up to Kadesh Barnea.

I said to you, '{You have reached} the hill country of the Amorites that Yahweh our God [is] giving to us.

See, Yahweh your God has set before you the land; go up and possess [it] as Yahweh the God of your ancestors said to you; do not fear and do not be dismayed.'

The plan was good {in my opinion}, and [so] I took from [among] you twelve men, {one from each tribe}.

They took in their hands {some of the fruit} of the land, and they brought [it] down to us, and they brought to us back {a report}, and they said, 'The land that Yahweh our God [is] giving to us [is] good.'

But you were not willing to go up, and you rebelled against the {command} of Yahweh your God.

Yahweh your God, who is going {before you}, will himself fight for you, {just as} he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
