Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, - according as thou didst speak saying:

Nevertheless as I live, - and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,

Verily, none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs, which I have done in Egypt and in the desert, - and have put me to the proof these ten times, and have not hearkened unto my voice,

shall see the land, which I sware to their fathers, - yea, none of my despisers, shall see it.

But my servant Caleb - because there was another spirit with him, and he followed me fully, therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered, and his seed, shall possess it.

How long, as regardeth this evil assembly, re they to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard,

In this desert, shall your dead bodies fall And none of you who were numbered in all your counting, from twenty years old and upwards, - who have murmured against me,

none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein, - save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun:

By the number of the days wherein ye spied out the land - forty days, each day for a year, shall they bear your iniquities - forty years, - so shall ye know my opposition.

I - Yahweh, have spoken, Verily this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me, - In this desert, shall they be consumed And there, shall they die.

to the intent ye may call to mind, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

Separate yourselves out of the midst of this assembly, - that I may consume them in a moment.

Then said Moses, Hereby, shall ye know, that, Yahweh hath sent me, to do all these works, - verily, not out of my own heart:

If, as all human beings die, these do die, and the visitation of all human beings, be visited upon them, Yahweh, hath not sent me.

Lift yourselves up out of the midst o this assembly, that I may consume them, as in a moment, - And they fell upon their faces.

So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, - so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring against you.

And Yahweh said unto Moses - Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse, - that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me that they die not.

And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee the charge of my heave-offerings, - as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel - unto thee, have I given them. as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons. for a statute age-abiding,

This, shall be thine, out of the things most holy, out of the fire, - their every oblation - to the extent of their every meal-offering, and their every sin-bearer, and their every guilt-bearer wherewith they make amends unto me, most holy unto thee, shall it be and unto thy sons.

every thing that is born first of all flesh that may be offered unto Yahweh among men and among beasts, shall be thine, - only thou shalt, redeem, the firstborn of men, and the firstborn of unclean beasts, shalt thou redeem.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore, shall ye not bring in this convocation into the land which I have given unto them.

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, - lest with the sword, I come out to meet thee.

And the sons of Israel said unto him - By the highway, will we go up, and if thy waters, we should drink - I, and my cattle then would I give the price thereof, - only - it is nothing! - with my feet, would I pass through.

Aaron shall be withdrawn unto his kinsfolk, fur he shall not enter into the land. which I have given unto the sons of Israel, - because ye spurned my bidding, at the waters of Meribah.

Then Israel vowed vow unto Yahweh, and said, - If thou wilt, surely deliver up, this people into my band, then will I utterly destroy their cities.

Then tame the people of Israel unto Moses and said - We have sinned in that we spake against Yahweh and against thee, Pray thou unto Yahweh, that he may take from us the serpent. So Moses prayed for the people.

And from thence, towards Beer, - the same, is the well whereof Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather together the people, that I may give them water.

Let me pass through thy land we will not turn aside into field or into vineyard, nor will we drink the water of a well, - by the kings road, will we go, until we get through thy boundary.

So he sent messengers unto Balaam son of Boor, to Pethor which was by the river of the land of the sons of his people to call him, - saying Lo! a people, hath come forth out of Egypt Lo! he hath covered the eye of the land, Yea he, is tarrying over against me.

Now, therefore, do come, I pray thee curse me this people. For stronger, he is than I, If peradventure I prevail, we shall smite him, That I may drive him out of the land, - For I know that, he whom thou dost bless, is to be blessed, And the whom thou dost curse, is to be cursed.

And he said unto them - Tarry ye here for the night, and I will bring you back word, as Yahweh shall speak unto me. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

Then said Balaam unto God, - Balak, son of Zipper king of Moab, hath sent unto me:

Lo! the people that hath come forth out of Egypt - he covereth the eye of the land. Now, do come, do revile me him, Peradventure I shall prevail in making war with him, And shall drive him out.

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land, - For Yahweh hath refused to let me go with you.

And they came in unto Balaam, - and said unto him - Thus, said Balak son of Zipper, Do not be withheld, I pray thee from coming unto me:

For I will honour, thee, exceedingly, and all that thou shalt say unto me, will I do. Do come therefore I pray thee oh revile me this people.

And Balaam responded and said unto the servants of Balak, Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.

Now, therefore abide here, I pray you even ye, - for the night, - that I may get to know what further Yahweh may be speaking with me.

And Yahweh opened the mouth of the ass, - and she said unto Balaam - What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me, these three times?

And Balaam said unto the ass, Surely thou hast been making sport of me, - Would there had been a sword in my hand, for, now, would I have slain thee.

And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass, these three times? Lo! I, myself, am come forth to withstand thee, because headlong was thy way before me.

And the ass hath seen me, and hath turned aside at ray presence these three times: Unless she had turned aside from my presence, yea now even thee, had I slain, but, her, had I suffered to live.

Then said Balaam unto the messenger of Yahweh - I have sinned, for I knew not, that, thou, wast stationed to meet me in the road, - Now, therefore, if it be displeasing in thine eyes, I must get me back again.

And Balak said unto Balaam: Did I not, send, unto thee, to call thee? Wherefore didst thou not come unto me? Am I not in very deed, able to honour thee?

And Balaam said unto Balak - Lo! I am come unto thee, Now, can, I, possibly, promise any-thing? The word that God shall put in my mouth, that, must I speak.

Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, - and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.

Then said Balaam unto Balak: Station thyself by thine ascending-sacrifice, and let me go my way - peradventure Yahweh may come and meet me, and what thing soever he may show me, I will tell thee. So he went his way to a bare height.

So he took up his parable and said, - From Aram, doth Balak conduct me, The king of Moab, from the mountains of the East, Come thou! curse me Jacob, Yea, come thou! rage on Israel.

Who hath counted the dust of Jacob? Or who hath numbered the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my hereafter be like his!

Then said Balak unto Balaam, What hast thou done for me? To revile mine enemies, I summoned thee, and lo! thou hast kept on blessing.

And he answered and said, - Was it not to be so that whatsoever Yahweh should put into my mouth, the same, should I take heed to speak?

Then said Balak unto him - Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see him, nothing but his utmost part, shalt thou see, but all of him, shalt thou not see, - and so revile me him from thence.

Then took he up his parable and said, - Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor!

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee! let me take thee unto another place, - peradventure, it may be right in the eyes of God, that thou revile me him. from thence.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here, seven altars, - and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.

Then kindled the anger of Balak against Balaam, and he smote together his hands, - and Balak said unto Balaam - To revile my foes, I called thee, And lo! thou hast kept on blessing, these three times.

And Balaam said unto Balak, - Was it not so that even unto thy messengers whom thou didst send unto m, I spake saying-

Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, yet could I not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh, to, do good or ill, out of my own heart, - what Yahweh shall speak, that, must I speak?

Now, therefore, behold me! going to my own people, - Come now! let me advise thee, what this people shall do unto thy people in the after-part of the days.

And Yahweh said unto Moses - Take all the heads of the people, and crucify them unto Yahweh. in the face of the sun, - that the heat of the anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.

Phinehas on of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath front against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst, so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel. in my jealousy.

Wherefore say, - Behold me! giving unto him my covenant of peace;

because ye resisted my bidding - in the desert of Zin when the assembly contended, - that ye should hallow me regarding the waters, before their eyes, - the same, were the waters of Meribah, of Kadesh in the desert of Zin.

who may go out before them and who may come in before them, and who may take-them out and who may bring them in, - that the assembly of Yahweh become not as sheep that have no shepherd.

and shalt put some of thine honour upon him, - that all the assembly of the sons of Israel may hearken.

Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - My offering, my food for my altar-flames my satisfying odour, shall ye take heed to offer unto me in its season,

As for any vow, or any oath of binding, to humble ones soul, her husband, may make it stand, or, her husband, may make it of none effect.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully;

Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben unto Moses, saying, - thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command.

and thy servants, will pass over every one armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, - as, my lord is speaking.

And, among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give that the manslayer may flee thither, - and besides them, ye shall give, forty-two cities,

So shall the cities serve you for places of refuge from the redeemer, - that the manslayer may not die, until he has stood before the assembly, for judgment,

For the sons of Israel and for the sojourner. and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge, - that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake.

and the blood-redeemer, find him, outside the bounds of his city of refuge, then may the blood-redeemer slay the slayer, without being guilty of blood;

So shall these serve you as a regulative statute unto your generations, - wheresoever ye may dwell.

thou must not then make unclean the land wherein, ye, are dwelling, in the midst of which, I, have my habitation; for, I, - Yahweh, am making my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel.

and they said - Unto my lord, did Yahweh give command, to bestow the land as an inheritance, by lot, unto the sons of Israel, - my lord, therefore, was commanded by Yahweh, to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughter.

This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, as to the daughters of Zelophehad saying: Unto whomsoever it may be good in their eyes, let them become wives, - save only unto the family of the tribe of their father, let them become wives.

And, every daughter possessing all inheritance from among the tribes of the sons of Israel, unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, shall become wife, - to the intent that the sons of Israel may possess each one the inheritance of his fathers;

Set forth for you - men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, - that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

And ye answered me, - and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, - and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, - Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

Then responded ye and said unto me - We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.

Then said Yahweh unto me - Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, - lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.

Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.

And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:

And Yahweh said unto me - Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, - for I will not give unto thee of his and as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.

then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:

Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, - only I would pass through on my feet; -

as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, - until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, - begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.

And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, - so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon.

My Lord Yahweh, thou thyself, hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy firm hand, - as to which, what GOD is there, in the heavens or in the earth, that can do according to thy doings, and according to thy mighty deeds?

Let me pass over, I pray thee that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan, - this good mountain, and the Lebanon.

But Yahweh had been provoked with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me, - and Yahweh said unto me, Enough for thee! do not add a word unto me further in this matter.

Now, therefore, O Israel, hearken thou unto the statutes, and unto the regulations, which, I, am teaching you, to do them , - to the end ye may live and enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving unto you.

Ye shall not add unto the word which, I, am commanding you, neither shall ye take away therefrom, - that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, which, I, am commanding you.

See! I have taught you statutes, and regulations, as Yahweh my God commanded me, - that ye should do so, in the midst of the land whereinto ye are entering to possess it.
