So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people.

Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.

Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.

And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.

Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.

Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.

And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.

And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living among them.

Anyone touching the body of a dead man without making himself clean in this way, makes the House of the Lord unclean; and that man will be cut off from Israel: because the water was not put on him, he will be unclean; his unclean condition is unchanged.

But the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put on him, he is unclean.

Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.

And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as he gave him orders.

Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord; are we to get water for you out of the rock?

Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;

And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son; and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.

And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.

From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:

From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.

The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:

And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.

But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.

For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.

And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

But God was moved to wrath because he went: and the angel of the Lord took up a position in the road to keep him from his purpose. Now he was seated on his ass, and his two servants were with him.

And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road.

And the ass saw me, turning to one side from me three times: if she had not gone to one side, I would certainly have put you to death and kept her safe.

And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.

And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.

And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.

Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel.

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.

He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

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;

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.

But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

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

So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

Why would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which the Lord has given them?

So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.

For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.

On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

And they went on from Succoth and put up their tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land.

And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.

And journeying on from before Hahiroth, they went through the sea into the waste land: they went three days' journey through the waste land of Etham and put up their tents in Marah.

And from Marah they went on to Elim: and in Elim there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees; and they put up their tents there.

And they went on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea.

Then from the Red Sea they went on and put up their tents in the waste land of Sin.

And they went on from the waste land of Sin, and put up their tents in Dophkah.

And they went on from Dophkah, and put up their tents in Alush.

And they went on from Alush, and put up their tents in Rephidim, where there was no drinking-water for the people.

And they went on from Rephidim, and put up their tents in the waste land of Sinai.

And they went on from the waste land of Sinai and put up their tents in Kibroth-hattaavah.

And they went on from Kibroth-hattaavah, and put up their tents in Hazeroth.

And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up their tents in Rithmah.

And they went on from Rithmah, and put up their tents in Rimmon-perez.

And they went on from Rimmon-perez, and put up their tents in Libnah.

And they went on from Libnah, and put up their tents in Rissah.

And they went on from Rissah, and put up their tents in Kehelathah.

And they went on from Kehelathah, and put up their tents in Mount Shepher.

And they went on from Mount Shepher, and put up their tents in Haradah.

And they went on from Haradah, and put up their tents in Makheloth.

And they went on from Makheloth, and put up their tents in Tahath.

And they went on from Tahath, and put up their tents in Terah.

And they went on from Terah, and put up their tents in Mithkah.

And they went on from Mithkah, and put up their tents in Hashmonah.

And they went on from Hashmonah, and put up their tents in Moseroth.

And they went on from Moseroth, and put up their tents in Bene-jaakan.

And they went on from Bene-jaakan, and put up their tents in Hor-haggidgad.

And they went on from Hor-haggidgad, and put up their tents in Jotbathah.
