'Men' in the Bible

These are the men named out of all the people, chiefs of their fathers' houses, heads of the tribes of Israel.

And Moses and Aaron took these men, marked out by name;

Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;

And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.

Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.

Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.

Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief among them.

And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.

Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.

And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.

And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.

But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

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

And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

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

And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,

So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.

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.

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

But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

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:

Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

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.

Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
