And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

And by day the cloud of the Lord went over them, when they went forward from the place where they had put up their tents.

Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,

And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.

Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.

Then let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.

Then the angel of the Lord went further, stopping in a narrow place where there was no room for turning to the right or to the left.

So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

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

But if you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living.

For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.

And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.

But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,

So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel.
