And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.


text:
And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.


text:
And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.


text:
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it <i>is</i> an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.


text:
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.


text:
And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.


text:
But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim, which have separated you from <i>other</i> people.


text:
Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.


text:
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I Yahweh <i>am</i> holy, and have severed you from <i>other</i> people, that ye should be mine.


text:
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood <i>shall be</i> upon them.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:


text:
But for his kin, that is near unto him, <i>that is</i>, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,


text:
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.


text:
<i>But</i> he shall not defile himself, <i>being</i> a chief man among his people, to profane himself.


text:
They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.


text:
They shall be holy unto their Elohim, and not profane the name of their Elohim: for the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, <i>and</i> the bread of their Elohim, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.


text:
They shall not take a wife <i>that is</i> a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he <i>is</i> holy unto his Elohim.


text:
Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy Elohim: he shall be holy unto thee: for I Yahweh, which sanctify you, <i>am</i> holy.


text:
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.


text:
And <i>he that is</i> the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;


text:
Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his Elohim; for the crown of the anointing oil of his Elohim <i>is</i> upon him: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, <i>or</i> an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.


text:
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever <i>he be</i> of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his Elohim.


text:
For whatsoever man <i>he be</i> that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,


text:
Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;


text:
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his Elohim.


text:
Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I Yahweh do sanctify them.


text:
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name <i>in those things</i> which they hallow unto me: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
Say unto them, Whosoever <i>he be</i> of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Yahweh, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
What man soever of the seed of Aaron <i>is</i> a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoever toucheth any thing <i>that is</i> unclean <i>by</i> the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;


text:
Or whoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;


text:
The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.


text:
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it <i>is</i> his food.


text:
That which dieth of itself, or is torn <i>with beasts</i>, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I Yahweh do sanctify them.


text:
There shall no stranger eat <i>of</i> the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.


text:
But if the priest buy <i>any</i> slave with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food.


text:
If the priest's daughter also be <i>married</i> unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.


text:
But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.


text:
And if a man eat <i>of</i> the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth <i>part</i> thereof unto it, and shall give <i>it</i> unto the priest with the holy thing.


text:
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I Yahweh do sanctify them.


text:
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever <i>he be</i> of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto Yahweh for a burnt offering;


text:
<i>Ye shall offer at</i> your own will a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.


text:
But whatsoever hath a blemish, <i>that</i> shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.


text:
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh to accomplish <i>his</i> vow, or a freewill offering in bulls or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.


text:
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Yahweh.


text:
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.


text:
Ye shall not offer unto Yahweh that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make <i>any offering thereof</i> in your land.


text:
Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your Elohim of any of these; because their corruption <i>is</i> in them, <i>and</i> blemishes <i>be</i> in them: they shall not be accepted for you.


text:
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days with the mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I <i>am</i> Yahweh which hallow you,


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, <i>Concerning</i> the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim <i>to be</i> holy convocations, <i>even</i> these <i>are</i> my feasts.


text:
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day <i>is</i> the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work <i>therein</i>: it <i>is</i> the sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings.


text:
These <i>are</i> the feasts of Yahweh, <i>even</i> holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.


text:
And on the fifteenth day of the same month <i>is</i> the feast of unleavened bread unto Yahweh: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.


text:
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh seven days: in the seventh day <i>is</i> an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work <i>therein</i>.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:


text:
And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.


text:
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yahweh.


text:
And the meal offering thereof <i>shall be</i> two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yahweh <i>for</i> a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof <i>shall be</i> of wine, the fourth <i>part</i> of an hin.


text:
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your Elohim: <i>it shall be</i> a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


text:
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:


text:
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal offering unto Yahweh.


text:
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; <i>they are</i> the firstfruits unto Yahweh.


text:
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be <i>for</i> a burnt offering unto Yahweh, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, <i>even</i> an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.


text:
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits <i>for</i> a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.


text:
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, <i>that</i> it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work <i>therein: it shall be</i> a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.


text:
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first <i>day</i> of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.


text:
Ye shall do no servile work <i>therein</i>: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
Also on the tenth <i>day</i> of this seventh month <i>there shall be</i> a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it <i>is</i> a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
For whatsoever soul <i>it be</i> that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.


text:
And whatsoever soul <i>it be</i> that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.


text:
Ye shall do no manner of work: <i>it shall be</i> a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


text:
<i>It shall be</i> unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth <i>day</i> of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month <i>shall be</i> the feast of tabernacles <i>for</i> seven days unto Yahweh.


text:
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; <i>and</i> ye shall do no servile work <i>therein</i>.


text:
These <i>are</i> the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim <i>to be</i> holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything upon his day:


text:
Beside the sabbaths of Yahweh, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto Yahweh.


text:
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days: on the first day <i>shall be</i> a sabbath, and on the eighth day <i>shall be</i> a sabbath.


text:
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim seven days.


text:
And ye shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. <i>It shall be</i> a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.


text:
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.


text:
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before Yahweh continually: <i>it shall be</i> a statute for ever in your generations.


text:
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.


text:
And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon <i>each</i> row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, <i>even</i> an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
Every sabbath he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually, <i>being taken</i> from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.


text:
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it <i>is</i> most holy unto him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.


text:
And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish <i>woman</i> and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;


text:
And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: and his mother's name <i>was</i> Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:


text:
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard <i>him</i> lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.


text:
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his Elohim shall bear his sin.


text:
And he that blasphemeth the Name, he shall surely be put to death, <i>and</i> all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name <i>of</i> Yahweh, shall be put to death.


text:
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him <i>again</i>.


text:
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.


text:
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.


text:
Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;


text:
But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for Yahweh: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.


text:
That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: <i>for</i> it is a year of rest unto the land.


text:
And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,


text:
And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.


text:
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth <i>day</i> of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.


text:
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout <i>all</i> the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.


text:
A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather <i>the grapes</i> in it of thy vine undressed.


text:
For it <i>is</i> the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.


text:
And if thou sell anything unto thy neighbour, or buyest <i>anything</i> of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:


text:
According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, <i>and</i> according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:


text:
According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for <i>according</i> to the number <i>of the years</i> of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.


text:
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy Elohim: for I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.


text:
And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:


text:
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.


text:
And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat <i>yet</i> of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat <i>of</i> the old <i>store.</i>


text:
The land shall not be sold forever: for the land <i>is</i> mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.


text:
If thy brother becomes poor, and hath sold away <i>some</i> of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.


text:
Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.


text:
But if he be not able to restore <i>it</i> to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.


text:
And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; <i>within</i> a full year may he redeem it.


text:
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that <i>is</i> in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.


text:
But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.


text:
Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, <i>and</i> the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.


text:
And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in <i>the year of</i> jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites <i>are</i> their possession among the children of Israel.


text:
And if thy brother becomes poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: <i>yea, though he be</i> a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.


text:
I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, <i>and</i> to be your Elohim.


text:
And if thy brother <i>that dwelleth</i> by thee becomes poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:


text:
But as an hired servant, <i>and</i> as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, <i>and</i> shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee:


text:
And <i>then</i> shall he depart from thee, <i>both</i> he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.


text:
For they <i>are</i> my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.


text:
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, <i>shall be</i> of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.


text:
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that <i>are</i> with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.


text:
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit <i>them</i> for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.


text:
And if a sojourner or stranger becomes rich by thee, and thy brother <i>that dwelleth</i> by him becomes poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:


text:
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or <i>any</i> that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.


text:
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.


text:
If <i>there be</i> yet many years <i>behind</i>, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.


text:
And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, <i>and</i> according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.


text:
<i>And</i> as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: <i>and the other</i> shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.


text:
And if he be not redeemed in these y<i>ears</i>, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, <i>both</i> he, and his children with him.


text:
For unto me the children of Israel <i>are</i> servants; they <i>are</i> my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up <i>any</i> image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.


text:
And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.


text:
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make <i>you</i> afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.


text:
And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.


text:
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.


text:
I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.


text:
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, <i>but</i> that ye break my covenant:


text:
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.


text:
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.


text:
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.


text:
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:


text:
And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.


text:
And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.


text:
I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your <i>high</i> ways shall be desolate.


text:
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of <i>my</i> covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.


text:
And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver <i>you</i> your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.


text:
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.


text:
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.


text:
And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.


text:
And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.


text:
And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.


text:
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye <i>be</i> in your enemies' land; <i>even</i> then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.


text:
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.


text:
And upon them that are left <i>alive</i> of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.


text:
And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.


text:
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.


text:
If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;


text:
And <i>that</i> I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:


text:
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.


text:
The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.


text:
And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I <i>am</i> Yahweh their Elohim.


text:
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim: I <i>am</i> Yahweh.


text:
These <i>are</i> the statutes and judgments and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons <i>shall be</i> for Yahweh by thy estimation.


text:
And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation <i>shall</i> be three shekels of silver.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> from sixty years old and above; if <i>it be</i> a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto Yahweh, all that <i>any man</i> giveth of such unto Yahweh shall be holy.


text:
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto Yahweh, then he shall present the beast before the priest:


text:
And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, <i>who art</i> the priest, so shall it be.


text:
And when a man shall sanctify his house <i>to be</i> holy unto Yahweh, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.


text:
And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth <i>part</i> of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.


text:
And if a man shall sanctify unto Yahweh <i>some part</i> of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed <i>shall be valued</i> at fifty shekels of silver.


text:
But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.


text:
And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth <i>part</i> of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.


text:
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.


text:
But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto Yahweh, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.


text:
And if <i>a man</i> sanctify unto Yahweh a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;


text:
Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, <i>even</i> unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, <i>as</i> a holy thing unto Yahweh.


text:
In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, <i>even</i> to him to whom the possession of the land <i>did belong</i>.


text:
And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.


text:
Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be Yahweh's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether <i>it be</i> ox, or sheep: it is Yahweh's.


text:
And if <i>it be</i> of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth <i>part</i> of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.


text:
Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Yahweh of all that he hath, <i>both</i> of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto Yahweh.


text:
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; <i>but</i> shall surely be put to death.


text:
And all the tithe of the land, <i>whether</i> of the seed of the land, <i>or</i> of the fruit of the tree, <i>is</i> Yahweh's: <i>it is</i> holy unto Yahweh.


text:
And if a man will at all redeem <i>any</i> of his tithe, he shall add thereto the fifth <i>part</i> thereof.


text:
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, <i>even</i> of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Yahweh.


text:
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.


text:

And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:


text:
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth <i>part</i> of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it <i>is</i> an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.


text:
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put <i>it</i> into the water:


text:
And the priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which <i>is</i> the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:


text:
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness <i>with another</i> instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:


text:
But if thou hast gone aside <i>to another</i> instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:


text:
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yahweh make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Yahweh doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;


text:
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.


text:
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot <i>them</i> out with the bitter water:


text:
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, <i>and become</i> bitter.


text:
Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before Yahweh, and offer it upon the altar:


text:
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, <i>even</i> the memorial thereof, and burn <i>it</i> upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.


text:
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, <i>that,</i> if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, <i>and become</i> bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.


text:
This <i>is</i> the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside <i>to another</i> instead of her husband, and is defiled;


text:
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate <i>themselves</i> to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate <i>themselves</i> unto Yahweh:


text:
He shall separate <i>himself</i> from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.


text:
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.


text:
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth <i>himself</i> unto Yahweh, he shall be holy, <i>and</i> shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.


text:
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his Elohim <i>is</i> upon his head.


text:
And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.


text:
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.


text:
And he shall consecrate unto Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.


text:
And this <i>is</i> the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
And he shall offer his offering unto Yahweh, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,


text:
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.


text:
And the priest shall bring <i>them</i> before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:


text:
And he shall offer the ram <i>for</i> a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meal offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation <i>at</i> the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put <i>it</i> in the fire which <i>is</i> under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.


text:
And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put <i>them</i> upon the hands of the Nazarite, after <i>the hair of</i> his separation is shaven:


text:
And the priest shall wave them <i>for</i> a wave offering before Yahweh: this <i>is</i> holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.


text:
This <i>is</i> the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, <i>and of</i> his offering unto Yahweh for his separation, beside <i>that</i> that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.


text:
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,


text:
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;


text:
That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who <i>were</i> the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:


text:
And they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.


text:
Take <i>it</i> of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.


text:
And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.


text:
But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them <i>was that</i> they should bear upon their shoulders.


text:
And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.


text:
And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:


text:
And his offering <i>was</i> one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty <i>shekels</i>, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them <i>were</i> full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering:


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

text:
On the fifth day Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, prince of the children of Simeon, <i>did offer:</i>


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.


text:
His offering <i>was</i> one silver charger of the weight of an hundred and thirty <i>shekels,</i> a silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering:


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.


text:
His offering <i>was</i> one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty <i>shekels</i>, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering:


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Abidan the son of Gideoni.


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Pagiel the son of Ocran.


text:
And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahira the son of Enan.


text:
This <i>was</i> the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold:


text:
Each charger of silver <i>weighing</i> an hundred and thirty <i>shekels,</i> each bowl seventy: all the silver vessels <i>weighed</i> two thousand and four hundred <i>shekels</i>, after the shekel of the sanctuary:


text:
The golden spoons <i>were</i> twelve, full of incense, <i>weighing</i> ten <i>shekels</i> apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary: all the gold of the spoons <i>was</i> an hundred and twenty <i>shekels.</i>


text:
All the oxen for the burnt offering <i>were</i> twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meal offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve.


text:
And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings <i>were</i> twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed.


text:
And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that <i>was</i> upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spake unto him.


text:
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.


text:
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
And this work of the candlestick <i>was of</i> beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, <i>was</i> beaten work: according unto the pattern which Yahweh had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.


text:
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and <i>so</i> make themselves clean.


text:
Then let them take a young bullock with his meal offering, <i>even</i> fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.


text:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:


text:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before Yahweh: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:


text:
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh <i>for</i> an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of Yahweh.


text:
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one <i>for</i> a sin offering, and the other <i>for</i> a burnt offering, unto Yahweh, to make an atonement for the Levites.


text:
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto Yahweh.


text:
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.


text:
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them <i>for</i> an offering.


text:
For they <i>are</i> wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, <i>even instead of</i> the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.


text:
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel <i>are</i> mine, <i>both</i> man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.


text:
And I have given the Levites <i>as</i> a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.


text:
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.


text:
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them <i>as</i> an offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.


text:
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.


text:
This <i>is it</i> that <i>belongeth unto</i> the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:


text:
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service <i>thereof,</i> and shall serve no more:


text:
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.


text:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


text:
In the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.


text:
And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month between the evenings in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.


text:
And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:


text:
And those men said unto him, We <i>are</i> defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of Yahweh in his appointed season among the children of Israel?


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or <i>be</i> in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Yahweh.


text:
The fourteenth day of the second month between the evenings they shall keep it, <i>and</i> eat it with unleavened bread and bitter <i>herbs.</i>


text:
They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.


text:
But the man that <i>is</i> clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of Yahweh in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.


text:
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Yahweh; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.


text:
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, <i>namely,</i> the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.


text:
And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.


text:
At the commandment of Yahweh the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Yahweh they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.


text:
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, and journeyed not.


text:
And <i>so</i> it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of Yahweh they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they journeyed.


text:
And <i>so</i> it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and <i>that</i> the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether <i>it was</i> by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.


text:
Or <i>whether it were</i> two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.


text:
At the commandment of Yahweh they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of Yahweh they journeyed: they kept the charge of Yahweh, at the commandment of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.


text:
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.


text:
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And if they blow <i>but</i> with one <i>trumpet</i>, then the princes, <i>which are</i> heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.


text:
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.


text:
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.


text:
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.


text:
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Yahweh your Elohim, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.


text:
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your Elohim: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
And it came to pass on the twentieth <i>day</i> of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.


text:
And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.


text:
In the first <i>place</i> went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host <i>was</i> Nahshon the son of Amminadab.


text:
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.


text:
And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host <i>was</i> Elizur the son of Shedeur.


text:
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon <i>was</i> Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.


text:
And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and <i>the other</i> did set up the tabernacle against they came.


text:
And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host <i>was</i> Elishama the son of Ammihud.


text:
And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, <i>which was</i> the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host <i>was</i> Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.


text:
Thus <i>were</i> the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.


text:
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which Yahweh said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for Yahweh hath spoken good concerning Israel.


text:
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.


text:
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness Yahweh shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.


text:
And they departed from the mount of Yahweh three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.


text:
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Yahweh, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.


text:
And when the people complained, it displeased Yahweh: and Yahweh heard <i>it;</i> and his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yahweh burnt among them, and consumed <i>them that were</i> in the uttermost parts of the camp.


text:
And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?


text:
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:


text:
But now our soul <i>is</i> dried away: <i>there is</i> nothing at all, beside this manna, <i>before</i> our eyes.


text:
And the people went about, and gathered <i>it,</i> and ground <i>it</i> in mills, or beat <i>it</i> in a mortar, and baked <i>it</i> in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.


text:
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.


text:
And Moses said unto Yahweh, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?


text:
Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?


text:
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.


text:
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see thy evil.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.


text:
And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which <i>is</i> upon thee, and will put <i>it</i> upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear <i>it</i> not thyself alone.


text:
And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for <i>it was</i> well with us in Egypt: therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.


text:
<i>But</i> even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised Yahweh which <i>is</i> among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?


text:
And Moses said, The people, among whom I <i>am, are</i> six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.


text:
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Is Yahweh's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.


text:
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.


text:
And Yahweh came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that <i>was</i> upon him, and gave <i>it</i> unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, <i>that,</i> when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and they did not again.


text:
But there remained two <i>of the</i> men in the camp, the name of the one <i>was</i> Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they <i>were</i> of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, <i>one</i> of his young men, answered and said, My master Moses, forbid them.


text:
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would [Elohim] that all Yahweh's people were prophets, <i>and</i> that Yahweh would put his spirit upon them


text:
And there went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails from the sea, and let <i>them</i> fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits <i>high</i> upon the face of the earth.


text:
And the people stood up all that day, and all <i>that</i> night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread <i>them</i> all abroad for themselves round about the camp.


text:
And while the flesh <i>was</i> yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh smote the people with a very great plague.


text:
And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.


text:
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.


text:
And they said, Hath Yahweh indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And Yahweh heard <i>it.</i>


text:
Now the man Moses <i>was</i> very meek, above all the men which <i>were</i> upon the face of the earth.


text:
And Yahweh spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.


text:
And Yahweh came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood <i>in</i> the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.


text:
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, <i>I</i> Yahweh will make myself known unto him in a vision, <i>and</i> will speak unto him in a dream.


text:
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of Yahweh shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?


text:
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam <i>became</i> leprous, <i>white</i> as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, <i>she was</i> leprous.


text:
And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my master, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.


text:
Let her not be as one dead, of whom our flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in <i>again.</i>


text:
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in <i>again.</i>


text:
Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.


text:
And Moses by the commandment of Yahweh sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men <i>were</i> heads of the children of Israel.


text:
These <i>are</i> the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Yahshua.


text:
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this <i>way</i> southward, and go up into the mountain:


text:
And see the land, what it <i>is;</i> and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they <i>be</i> strong or weak, few or many;


text:
And what the land <i>is</i> that they dwell in, whether it <i>be</i> good or bad; and what cities <i>they be</i> that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;


text:
And what the land <i>is,</i> whether it <i>be</i> fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time <i>was</i> the time of the firstripe grapes.


text:
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.


text:
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, <i>were.</i> Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.


text:
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and <i>they brought</i> of the pomegranates, and of the figs.


text:
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.


text:
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.


text:
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.


text:
Nevertheless the people <i>be</i> strong that dwell in the land, and the cities <i>are</i> walled, <i>and</i> very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.


text:
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.


text:
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.


text:
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they <i>are</i> stronger than we.


text:
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, <i>is</i> a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it <i>are</i> men of a great stature.


text:
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, <i>which come</i> of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.


text:
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would that that we had died in the land of Egypt or would that we had died in this wilderness


text:
And wherefore hath Yahweh brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?


text:
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, <i>which were</i> of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:


text:
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, <i>is</i> an exceeding good land.


text:
If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.


text:
Only rebel not ye against Yahweh, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they <i>are</i> bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and Yahweh <i>is</i> with us: fear them not.


text:
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the splendour of Yahweh appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?


text:
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.


text:
And Moses said unto Yahweh, Then the Egyptians shall hear <i>it,</i> for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;


text:
And they will tell <i>it</i> to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Yahweh <i>art</i> among this people, that thou Yahweh art seen face to face, and <i>that</i> thy cloud standeth over them, and <i>that</i> thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.


text:
Now <i>if</i> thou shalt kill <i>all</i> this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,


text:
Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.


text:
Yahweh <i>is</i> longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing <i>the guilty,</i> visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth <i>generation</i>.


text:
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.


text:
Because all those men which have seen my splendour, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;


text:
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:


text:
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.


text:
Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley. To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.


text:
How long <i>shall I bear with</i> this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.


text:
Say unto them, <i>As truly as</i> I live, saith Yahweh, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:


text:
Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,


text:
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, <i>concerning</i> which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.


text:
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.


text:
After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, <i>even</i> forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, <i>even</i> forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.


text:
I Yahweh have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.


text:
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,


text:
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, <i>which were</i> of the men that went to search the land, lived <i>still.</i>


text:
And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we <i>be here,</i> and will go up unto the place which Yahweh hath promised: for we have sinned.


text:
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites <i>are</i> there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.


text:
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.


text:
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, <i>even</i> unto Hormah.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,


text:
And will make an offering by fire unto Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock:


text:
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto Yahweh bring a meal offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth <i>part</i> of an hin of oil.


text:
And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.


text:
Or <i>for</i> a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third <i>part</i> of an hin of oil.


text:
And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third <i>part</i> of an hin of wine, <i>for</i> a sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
And when thou preparest a bullock <i>for</i> a burnt offering, or <i>for</i> a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto Yahweh:


text:
Then shall he bring with a bullock a meal offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.


text:
And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, <i>for</i> an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.


text:
All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever <i>be</i> among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh; as ye do, so he shall do.


text:
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth <i>with you,</i> an ordinance for ever in your generations: as <i>ye are,</i> so shall the stranger be before Yahweh.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,


text:
Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto Yahweh.


text:
Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough <i>for</i> an heave offering: as <i>ye do</i> the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.


text:
<i>Even</i> all that Yahweh hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Yahweh commanded <i>Moses,</i> and henceforward among your generations;


text:
Then it shall be, if <i>ought</i> be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto Yahweh, with his meal offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.


text:
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it <i>is</i> ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their ignorance:


text:
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people <i>were</i> in ignorance.


text:
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.


text:
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before Yahweh, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.


text:
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, <i>both for</i> him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.


text:
But the soul that doeth <i>ought</i> presumptuously, <i>whether he be</i> born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.


text:
Because he hath despised the word of Yahweh, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity <i>shall be</i> upon him.


text:
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.


text:
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.


text:
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:


text:
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:


text:
I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: I <i>am</i> Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took <i>men:</i>


text:
And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:


text:
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, <i>Ye take</i> too much upon you, seeing all the congregation <i>are</i> holy, every one of them, and Yahweh <i>is</i> among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of Yahweh?


text:
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow Yahweh will show who <i>are</i> his, and <i>who is</i> holy; and will cause <i>him</i> to come near unto him: <i>even</i> him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.


text:
And put fire therein, and put incense in them before Yahweh to morrow: and it shall be <i>that</i> the man whom Yahweh doth choose, he <i>shall be</i> holy: <i>ye take</i> too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.


text:
<i>Seemeth it but</i> a small thing unto you, that the Elohim of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?


text:
And he hath brought thee near <i>to him,</i> and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?


text:
For which cause <i>both</i> thou and all thy company <i>are</i> gathered together against Yahweh: and what <i>is</i> Aaron, that ye murmur against him?


text:
<i>Is it</i> a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?


text:
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.


text:
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Yahweh, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.


text:
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Yahweh, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:


text:
And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each <i>of you</i> his censer.


text:
And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.


text:
And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the splendour of Yahweh appeared unto all the congregation.


text:
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O El, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?


text:
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.


text:
And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.


text:
So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.


text:
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Yahweh hath sent me to do all these works; for <i>I have not done them</i> of mine own mind.


text:
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; <i>then</i> Yahweh hath not sent me.


text:
But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that <i>appertain</i> unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Yahweh.


text:
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that <i>was</i> under them:


text:
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that <i>appertained</i> unto Korah, and all their goods.


text:
They, and all that <i>appertained</i> to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.


text:
And all Israel that <i>were</i> round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up <i>also</i>.


text:
And there came out a fire from Yahweh, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.


text:
Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.


text:
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates <i>for</i> a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.


text:
And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad <i>plates for</i> a covering of the altar:


text:
<i>To be</i> a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which <i>is</i> not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before Yahweh; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh said to him by the hand of Moses.


text:
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Yahweh.


text:
And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the splendour of Yahweh appeared.


text:
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.


text:
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun.


text:
And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.


text:
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.


text:
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of <i>their</i> fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.


text:
And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod <i>shall be</i> for the head of the house of their fathers.


text:
And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.


text:
And it shall come to pass, <i>that</i> the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.


text:
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, <i>even</i> twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron <i>was</i> among their rods.


text:
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.


text:
And Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.


text:
Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of Yahweh shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?


text:
And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.


text:
And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee <i>shall minister</i> before the tabernacle of witness.


text:
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.


text:
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.


text:
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.


text:
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you <i>they are</i> given <i>as</i> a gift for Yahweh, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office <i>unto</i> you <i>as</i> a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.


text:
And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.


text:
This shall be thine of the most holy things, <i>reserved</i> from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, <i>shall be</i> most holy for thee and for thy sons.


text:
In the most holy <i>place</i> shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.


text:
And this <i>is</i> thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.


text:
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto Yahweh, them have I given thee.


text:
<i>And</i> whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto Yahweh, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat <i>of</i> it.


text:
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto Yahweh, <i>whether it be</i> of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.


text:
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.


text:
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they <i>are</i> holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat <i>for</i> an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Yahweh, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it <i>is</i> a covenant of salt for ever before Yahweh unto thee and to thy seed with thee.


text:
And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I <i>am</i> thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.


text:
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, <i>even</i> the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.


text:
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: <i>it shall be</i> a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.


text:
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer <i>as</i> an heave offering unto Yahweh, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.


text:
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for Yahweh, <i>even</i> a tenth <i>part</i> of the tithe.


text:
And <i>this</i> your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though <i>it were</i> the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.


text:
Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto Yahweh of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof Yahweh's heave offering to Aaron the priest.


text:
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of Yahweh, of all the best thereof, <i>even</i> the hallowed part thereof out of it.


text:
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.


text:
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it <i>is</i> your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.


text:
This <i>is</i> the ordinance of the law which Yahweh hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein <i>is</i> no blemish, <i>and</i> upon which never came yoke:


text:
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and <i>one</i> shall slay her before his face:


text:
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:


text:
And <i>one</i> shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:


text:
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast <i>it</i> into the midst of the burning of the heifer.


text:
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.


text:
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.


text:
And a man <i>that is</i> clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay <i>them</i> up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.


text:
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.


text:
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.


text:
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness <i>is</i> yet upon him.


text:
This <i>is</i> the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that <i>is</i> in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.


text:
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.


text:
And for an unclean <i>person</i> they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:


text:
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip <i>it</i> in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:


text:
And the clean <i>person</i> shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.


text:
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he <i>is</i> unclean.


text:
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.


text:
And whatsoever the unclean <i>person</i> toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.


text:
Then came the children of Israel, <i>even</i> the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.


text:
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


text:
And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would Elohim that we had died when our brethren died before Yahweh


text:
And why have ye brought up the congregation of Yahweh into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?


text:
And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither <i>is</i> there any water to drink.


text:
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the splendour of Yahweh appeared unto them.


text:
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.


text:
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?


text:
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts <i>also.</i>


text:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.


text:
This <i>is</i> the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.


text:
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:


text:
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:


text:
And when we cried unto Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we <i>are</i> in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:


text:
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink <i>of</i> the water of the wells: we will go by the king's <i>high</i> way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.


text:
And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without <i>doing</i> any thing <i>else,</i> go through on my feet.


text:
And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.


text:
And the children of Israel, <i>even</i> the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.


text:
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.


text:
And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered <i>unto his people,</i> and shall die there.


text:
And Moses did as Yahweh commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.


text:
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.


text:
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, <i>even</i> all the house of Israel.


text:
And <i>when</i> king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took <i>some</i> of them prisoners.


text:
And Israel vowed a vow unto Yahweh, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.


text:
And Yahweh hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.


text:
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.


text:
And the people spake against Elohim, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for <i>there is</i> no bread, neither <i>is there any</i> water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.


text:
And Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.


text:
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Yahweh, and against thee; pray unto Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.


text:
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.


text:
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.


text:
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which <i>is</i> in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.


text:
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of Yahweh, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,


text:
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.


text:
And from thence <i>they went</i> to Beer: that <i>is</i> the well whereof Yahweh spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.


text:
The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, <i>by the direction of</i> the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness <i>they went</i> to Mattanah:


text:
And from Bamoth <i>in</i> the valley, that <i>is</i> in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.


text:
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink <i>of</i> the waters of the well: <i>but</i> we will go along by the king's <i>high</i> way, until we be past thy borders.


text:
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.


text:
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon <i>was</i> strong.


text:
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.


text:
For Heshbon <i>was</i> the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.


text:
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:


text:
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, <i>and</i> the lords of the high places of Arnon.


text:
Woe to thee, Moab thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.


text:
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which <i>reacheth</i> unto Medeba.


text:
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.


text:
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.


text:
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.


text:
And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they <i>were</i> many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.


text:
And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that <i>are</i> round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor <i>was</i> king of the Moabites at that time.


text:
He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:


text:
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they <i>are</i> too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, <i>that</i> we may smite them, and <i>that</i> I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.


text:
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.


text:
And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.


text:
And Balaam said unto Elohim, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, <i>saying,</i>


text:
Behold, <i>there is</i> a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.


text:
And Elohim said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they <i>are</i> blessed.


text:
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for Yahweh refuseth to give me leave to go with you.


text:
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.


text:
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:


text:
For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.


text:
And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Yahweh my Elohim, to do less or more.


text:
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what Yahweh will say unto me more.


text:
And Elohim came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, <i>and</i> go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.


text:
And Elohim's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of Yahweh stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants <i>were</i> with him.


text:
And the ass saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.


text:
But the angel of Yahweh stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall <i>being</i> on this side, and a wall on that side.


text:
And when the ass saw the angel of Yahweh, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.


text:
And the angel of Yahweh went further, and stood in a narrow place, where <i>was</i> no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.


text:
And when the ass saw the angel of Yahweh, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.


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


text:
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.


text:
And the ass said unto Balaam, <i>Am</i> not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since <i>I was</i> thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.


text:
Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.


text:
And the angel of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because <i>thy</i> way is perverse before me:


text:
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.


text:
And Balaam said unto the angel of Yahweh, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.


text:
And the angel of Yahweh said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.


text:
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which <i>is</i> in the border of Arnon, which <i>is</i> in the utmost coast.


text:
And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?


text:
And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that Elohim putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost <i>part</i> of the people.


text:
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.


text:
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on <i>every</i> altar a bullock and a ram.


text:
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure Yahweh will come to meet me: and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.


text:
And Elohim met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon <i>every</i> altar a bullock and a ram.


text:
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, <i>saying,</i> Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.


text:
How shall I curse, <i>whom</i> El hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, <i>whom</i> Yahweh hath not defied?


text:
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.


text:
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth <i>part</i> of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his


text:
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed <i>them</i> altogether.


text:
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.


text:
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on <i>every</i> altar.


text:
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Yahweh spoken?


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:


text:
El <i>is</i> not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do <i>it?</i> or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?


text:
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: Yahweh his Elohim is with him, and the shout of a king <i>is</i> among them.


text:
Surely <i>there is</i> no enchantment against Jacob, neither <i>is there</i> any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath El wrought


text:
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat <i>of</i> the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.


text:
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that Yahweh speaketh, that I must do?


text:
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please Elohim that thou mayest curse me them from thence.


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


text:
And when Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.


text:
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel <i>abiding in his tents</i> according to their tribes; and the spirit of Elohim came upon him.


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:


text:
He hath said, which heard the words of El, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling <i>into a trance,</i> but having his eyes open:


text:
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which Yahweh hath planted, <i>and</i> as cedar trees beside the waters.


text:
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed <i>shall be</i> in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.


text:
El brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a wild ox: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce <i>them</i> through with his arrows.


text:
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed <i>is</i> he that blesseth thee, and cursed <i>is</i> he that curseth thee.


text:
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed <i>them</i> these three times.


text:
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, Yahweh hath kept thee back from honour.


text:
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of Yahweh, to do <i>either</i> good or bad of mine own mind; <i>but</i> what Yahweh saith, that will I speak?


text:
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come <i>therefore, and</i> I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.


text:
He hath said, which heard the words of El, and knew the knowledge of the most High, <i>which</i> saw the vision of the Almighty, falling <i>into a trance,</i> but having his eyes open:


text:
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.


text:
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.


text:
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.


text:
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek <i>was</i> the first of the nations; but his latter end <i>shall be</i> that he perish for ever.


text:
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.


text:
And ships <i>shall come</i> from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.


text:
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their elohim: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their elohim.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before Yahweh against the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may be turned away from Israel.


text:
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who <i>were</i> weeping <i>before</i> the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw <i>it,</i> he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;


text:
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.


text:
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.


text:
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, <i>even</i> the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his Elohim, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.


text:
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, <i>even</i> that was slain with the Midianitish woman, <i>was</i> Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.


text:
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain <i>was</i> Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he <i>was</i> head over a people, <i>and</i> of a chief house in Midian.


text:
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.


text:
And it came to pass after the plague, that Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,


text:
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.


text:
And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho, saying,


text:
<i>Take the sum of the people</i>, from twenty years old and upward; as Yahweh commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.


text:

text:
These <i>are</i> the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.


text:
And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This <i>is that</i> Dathan and Abiram, <i>which were</i> famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against Yahweh:


text:

text:
To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.


text:
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

text:
And the name of Amram's wife <i>was</i> Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom <i>her mother</i> bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.


text:
And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.


text:
These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho.


text:
But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.


text:
For Yahweh had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these <i>are</i> the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, <i>by</i> the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,


text:
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.


text:
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us <i>therefore</i> a possession among the brethren of our father.


text:
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.


text:
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.


text:
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.


text:
And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.


text:
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that <i>is</i> the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.


text:
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of Yahweh be not as sheep which have no shepherd.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom <i>is</i> the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;


text:
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.


text:
And thou shalt put <i>some</i> of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.


text:
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask <i>counsel</i> for him after the judgment of Urim before Yahweh: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, <i>both</i> he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.


text:
And Moses did as Yahweh commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:


text:
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, <i>and</i> my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, <i>for</i> a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.


text:
And thou shalt say unto them, This <i>is</i> the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Yahweh; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, <i>for</i> a continual burnt offering.


text:
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer between the evenings;


text:
And a tenth <i>part</i> of an ephah of flour for a meal offering, mingled with the fourth <i>part</i> of an hin of beaten oil.


text:
It <i>is</i> a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
And the drink offering thereof <i>shall be</i> the fourth <i>part</i> of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy <i>place</i> shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto Yahweh <i>for</i> a drink offering.


text:
And the other lamb shalt thou offer between the evenings: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer <i>it,</i> a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.


text:
And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour <i>for</i> a meal offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:


text:
<i>This is</i> the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto Yahweh; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;


text:
And three tenth deals of flour <i>for</i> a meal offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour <i>for</i> a meal offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;


text:
And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil <i>for</i> a meal offering unto one lamb; <i>for</i> a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third <i>part</i> of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth <i>part</i> of an hin unto a lamb: this <i>is</i> the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.


text:
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto Yahweh shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And in the fifteenth day of this month <i>is</i> the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.


text:
In the first day <i>shall be</i> an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work <i>therein:</i>


text:
But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire <i>for</i> a burnt offering unto Yahweh; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:


text:
And their meal offering <i>shall be of</i> flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;


text:
Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which <i>is</i> for a continual burnt offering.


text:
After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the food of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.


text:
Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meal offering unto Yahweh, after your weeks <i>be out,</i> ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:


text:
But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto Yahweh; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;


text:
And their meal offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,


text:
Ye shall offer <i>them</i> beside the continual burnt offering, and his meal offering, they shall be unto you without blemish and their drink offerings.


text:
And in the seventh month, on the first <i>day</i> of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.


text:
And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto Yahweh; one young bullock, one ram, <i>and</i> seven lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
And their meal offering <i>shall be of</i> flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, <i>and</i> two tenth deals for a ram,


text:
Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meal offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meal offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yahweh.


text:
And ye shall have on the tenth <i>day</i> of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work <i>therein:</i>


text:
But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto Yahweh <i>for</i> a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, <i>and</i> seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:


text:
And their meal offering <i>shall be of</i> flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, <i>and</i> two tenth deals to one ram,


text:
One kid of the goats <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings.


text:
And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days:


text:
And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, <i>and</i> fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:


text:
And their meat offering <i>shall be of</i> flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams,


text:
And one kid of the goats <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meal offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And on the second day <i>ye shall offer</i> twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:


text:
And their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, <i>shall be</i> according to their number, after the manner:


text:
And one kid of the goats <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering thereof, and their drink offerings.


text:
And one goat <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meal offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, <i>and</i> fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
Their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, <i>shall be</i> according to their number, after the manner:


text:
And one kid of the goats <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, <i>and</i> fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:


text:
And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, <i>and</i> fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
And one goat <i>for</i> a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meal offering, and his drink offering.


text:
And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, <i>and</i> fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meal offering, and his drink offering.


text:
But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:


text:
Their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, <i>shall be</i> according to their number, after the manner:


text:
These <i>things</i> ye shall do unto Yahweh in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.


text:
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This <i>is</i> the thing which Yahweh hath commanded.


text:
If a man vow a vow unto Yahweh, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.


text:
If a woman also vow a vow unto Yahweh, and bind <i>herself</i> by a bond, <i>being</i> in her father's house in her youth;


text:
And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.


text:
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.


text:
And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;


text:
And her husband heard <i>it,</i> and held his peace at her in the day that he heard <i>it:</i> then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.


text:
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard <i>it;</i> then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and Yahweh shall forgive her.


text:
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.


text:
And her husband heard <i>it,</i> and held his peace at her, <i>and</i> disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.


text:
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard <i>them; then</i> whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and Yahweh shall forgive her.


text:
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.


text:
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which <i>are</i> upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard <i>them.</i>


text:
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard <i>them;</i> then he shall bear her iniquity.


text:
These <i>are</i> the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, <i>being yet</i> in her youth in her father's house.


text:
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge Yahweh of Midian.


text:
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of <i>every</i> tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.


text:
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every <i>tribe,</i> them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.


text:
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; <i>namely,</i> Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.


text:
And the children of Israel took <i>all</i> the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.


text:
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which <i>are</i> by Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho.


text:
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.


text:
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, <i>with</i> the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.


text:
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Yahweh.


text:
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.


text:
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.


text:
And purify all <i>your</i> raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' <i>hair,</i> and all things made of wood.


text:
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This <i>is</i> the ordinance of the law which Yahweh commanded Moses;


text:
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make <i>it</i> go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.


text:
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.


text:
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, <i>both</i> of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:


text:
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:


text:
And levy a tribute unto Yahweh of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, <i>both</i> of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:


text:
Take <i>it</i> of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, <i>for</i> an heave offering of Yahweh.


text:
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh.


text:
And the booty, <i>being</i> the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,


text:
And the half, <i>which was</i> the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:


text:
And the beeves <i>were</i> thirty and six thousand; of which Yahweh's tribute <i>was</i> threescore and twelve.


text:
And the asses <i>were</i> thirty thousand and five hundred; of which Yahweh's tribute <i>was</i> threescore and one.


text:
And Moses gave the tribute, <i>which was</i> Yahweh's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
Now the half that <i>pertained unto</i> the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand <i>and</i> seven thousand and five hundred sheep,


text:
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, <i>both</i> of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
And the officers which <i>were</i> over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:


text:
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which <i>are</i> under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.


text:
We have therefore brought an oblation for Yahweh, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before Yahweh.


text:
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.


text:
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, <i>for</i> a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh.


text:
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place <i>was</i> a place for cattle;


text:
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,


text:
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,


text:
<i>Even</i> the country which Yahweh smote before the congregation of Israel, <i>is</i> a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:


text:
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, <i>and</i> bring us not over Jordan.


text:
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?


text:
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh hath given them?


text:
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them.


text:
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:


text:
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed Yahweh.


text:
And Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed.


text:
And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.


text:
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.


text:
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:


text:
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.


text:
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.


text:
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.


text:
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before Yahweh, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,


text:
And the land be subdued before Yahweh: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before Yahweh, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before Yahweh.


text:
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Yahweh: and be sure your sin will find you out.


text:
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.


text:
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my master commandeth.


text:
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my master saith.


text:
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:


text:
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:


text:
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.


text:
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Yahweh hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.


text:
We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan <i>may be</i> ours.


text:
And Moses gave unto them, <i>even</i> to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, <i>even</i> the cities of the country round about.


text:
And Nebo, and Baalmeon, their names being changed, and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.


text:
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which <i>was</i> in it.


text:
These <i>are</i> the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.


text:
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Yahweh: and these <i>are</i> their journeys according to their goings out.


text:
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.


text:
For the Egyptians buried all <i>their</i> firstborn, which Yahweh had smitten among them: upon their elohim also Yahweh executed judgments.


text:
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which <i>is</i> before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.


text:
And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.


text:
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim <i>were</i> twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.


text:
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of Yahweh, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first <i>day</i> of the fifth month.


text:
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.


text:
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;


text:
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:


text:
And ye shall dispossess <i>the inhabitants of</i> the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.


text:
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: <i>and</i> to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's <i>inheritance</i> shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.


text:
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them <i>shall be</i> pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.


text:
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, <i>even</i> the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:


text:
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:


text:
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:


text:
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.


text:
And <i>as for</i> the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.


text:
From mount Hor ye shall point out <i>your border</i> unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:


text:
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.


text:
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:


text:
And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.


text:
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This <i>is</i> the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:


text:
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received <i>their inheritance;</i> and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:


text:
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.


text:
These <i>are</i> the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.


text:
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.


text:
These <i>are they</i> whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.


text:
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give <i>also</i> unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.


text:
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.


text:
And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, <i>shall reach</i> from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.


text:
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city <i>shall be</i> in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.


text:
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites <i>there shall be</i> six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.


text:
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites <i>shall be</i> forty and eight cities: them <i>shall ye give</i> with their suburbs.


text:
And the cities which ye shall give <i>shall be</i> of the possession of the children of Israel: from <i>them that have</i> many ye shall give many; but from them <i>that have few</i> ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;


text:
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.


text:
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.


text:
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, <i>which</i> shall be cities of refuge.


text:
These six cities shall be a refuge, <i>both</i> for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.


text:
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he <i>is</i> a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he <i>is</i> a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
Or <i>if</i> he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he <i>is</i> a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote <i>him</i> shall surely be put to death; <i>for</i> he <i>is</i> a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.


text:
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,


text:
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing <i>him</i> not, and cast <i>it</i> upon him, that he die, and <i>was</i> not his enemy, neither sought his harm:


text:
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:


text:
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.


text:
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;


text:
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:


text:
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.


text:
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


text:
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person <i>to cause him</i> to die.


text:
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which <i>is</i> guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.


text:
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.


text:
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye <i>are:</i> for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.


text:
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I Yahweh dwell among the children of Israel.


text:
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:


text:
And they said, Yahweh commanded my master to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my master was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.


text:
And if they be married to any of the sons of the <i>other</i> tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.


text:
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.


text:
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.


text:
This <i>is</i> the thing which Yahweh doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.


text:
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.


text:
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.


text:
Neither shall the inheritance remove from <i>one</i> tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.


text:
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:


text:
<i>And</i> they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.


text:
These <i>are</i> the commandments and the judgments, which Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan <i>near</i> Jericho.


text:
These <i>be</i> the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red <i>sea</i>, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.


text:
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first <i>day</i> of the month, <i>that</i> Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Yahweh had given him in commandment unto them;


text:
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:


text:
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all <i>the places</i> nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.


text:
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.


text:
Yahweh your Elohim hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye <i>are</i> this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.


text:
Yahweh Elohim of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye <i>are</i>, and bless you, as he hath promised you


text:
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.


text:
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.


text:
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear <i>the causes</i> between your brethren, and judge righteously between <i>every</i> man and his brother, and the stranger <i>that is</i> with him.


text:
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; <i>but</i> ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment <i>is</i> Elohim's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring <i>it</i> unto me, and I will hear it.


text:
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as Yahweh our Elohim commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.


text:
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Yahweh our Elohim doth give unto us.


text:
Behold, Yahweh thy Elohim hath set the land before thee: go up <i>and</i> possess <i>it</i>, as Yahweh Elohim of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.


text:
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.


text:
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.


text:
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought <i>it</i> down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, <i>It is</i> a good land which Yahweh our Elohim doth give us.


text:
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yahweh hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.


text:
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people <i>is</i> greater and taller than we; the cities <i>are</i> great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.


text:
Yahweh your Elohim which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;


text:
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Yahweh thy Elohim bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.


text:
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents <i>in</i>, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.


text:
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,


text:
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.


text:
<i>But</i> Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.


text:
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.


text:
But <i>as for</i> you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.


text:
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our Elohim commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I <i>am</i> not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.


text:
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.


text:
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, <i>even</i> unto Hormah.


text:
And ye returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.


text:
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Yahweh spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.


text:
And command thou the people, saying, Ye <i>are</i> to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:


text:
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau <i>for</i> a possession.


text:
Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh thy Elohim <i>hath been</i> with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.


text:
And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land <i>for</i> a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot <i>for</i> a possession.


text:
The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave unto them.


text:
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, <i>was</i> thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as Yahweh sware unto them.


text:
For indeed the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.


text:
And <i>when</i> thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon <i>any</i> possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot <i>for</i> a possession.


text:
That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;


text:
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:


text:
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:


text:
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, <i>even</i> unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.


text:
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess <i>it</i>, and contend with him in battle.


text:
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations <i>that are</i> under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.


text:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,


text:
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.


text:
Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;


text:
As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me; until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which Yahweh our Elohim giveth us.


text:
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for Yahweh thy Elohim hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as <i>appeareth</i> this day.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.


text:
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:


text:
From Aroer, <i>which</i> is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and <i>from</i> the city that <i>is</i> by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Yahweh our Elohim delivered all unto us:


text:
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, <i>nor</i> unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever Yahweh our Elohim forbad us.


text:
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
So Yahweh our Elohim delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.


text:
And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.


text:
All these cities <i>were</i> fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.


text:
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.


text:
And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that <i>was</i> on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;


text:
All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.


text:
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead <i>was</i> a bedstead of iron; <i>is</i> it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits <i>was</i> the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.


text:
And this land, <i>which</i> we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which <i>is</i> by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.


text:
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, <i>being</i> the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.


text:
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.


text:
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, <i>which is</i> the border of the children of Ammon;


text:
The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast <i>thereof</i>, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, <i>even</i> the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.


text:
And I commanded you at that time, saying, Yahweh your Elohim hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all <i>that are</i> meet for the war.


text:
But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, <i>for</i> I know that ye have much cattle, shall abide in your cities which I have given you;


text:
Until Yahweh have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and <i>until</i> they also possess the land which Yahweh your Elohim hath given them beyond Jordan: and <i>then</i> shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.


text:
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Yahweh your Elohim hath done unto these two kings: so shall Yahweh do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.


text:
O Sovereign Yahweh, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what El <i>is there</i> in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?


text:
I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that <i>is</i> beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.


text:
But Yahweh was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and Yahweh said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.


text:
Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold <i>it</i> with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.


text:
But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.


text:
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do <i>them</i>, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh Elohim of your fathers giveth you.


text:
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish <i>ought</i> from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim which I command you.


text:
Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, Yahweh thy Elohim hath destroyed them from among you.


text:
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as Yahweh my Elohim commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.


text:
Keep therefore and do <i>them</i>; for this <i>is</i> your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation <i>is</i> a wise and understanding people.


text:
For what nation <i>is there so</i> great, who <i>hath</i> elohim <i>so</i> nigh unto them, as Yahweh our Elohim <i>is</i> in all <i>things that</i> we call upon him <i>for</i>?


text:
And what nation <i>is there so</i> great, that hath statutes and judgments <i>so</i> righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?


text:
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;


text:
<i>Specially</i> the day that thou stoodest before Yahweh thy Elohim in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and <i>that</i> they may teach their children.


text:
And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.


text:
And Yahweh spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only <i>ye heard</i> a voice.


text:
And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, <i>even</i> ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.


text:
And Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.


text:
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day <i>that</i> Yahweh spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:


text:
Lest ye corrupt <i>yourselves</i>, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,


text:
The likeness of any beast that <i>is</i> on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,


text:
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that <i>is</i> in the waters beneath the earth:


text:
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, <i>even</i> all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.


text:
But Yahweh hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, <i>even</i> out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as <i>ye are</i> this day.


text:
Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance:


text:
But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.


text:
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your Elohim, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, <i>or</i> the likeness of any <i>thing</i>, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath forbidden thee.


text:
When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt <i>yourselves</i>, and make a graven image, <i>or</i> the likeness of any <i>thing</i>, and shall do evil in the sight of Yahweh thy Elohim, to provoke him to anger:


text:
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong <i>your</i> days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.


text:
And Yahweh shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither Yahweh shall lead you.


text:
And there ye shall serve elohim, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.


text:
But if from thence thou shalt seek Yahweh thy Elohim, thou shalt find <i>him</i>, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.


text:
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, <i>even</i> in the latter days, if thou turn to Yahweh thy Elohim, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> a merciful El; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.


text:
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that Elohim created man upon the earth, and <i>ask</i> from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been <i>any such thing</i> as this great thing <i>is</i>, or hath been heard like it?


text:
Did <i>ever</i> people hear the voice of Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?


text:
Or hath Elohim assayed to go <i>and</i> take him a nation from the midst of <i>another</i> nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your Elohim did for you in Egypt before your eyes?


text:
Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Yahweh he <i>is</i> Elohim; <i>there is</i> none else beside him.


text:
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.


text:
And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;


text:
To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou <i>art</i>, to bring thee in, to give thee their land <i>for</i> an inheritance, as <i>it is</i> this day.


text:
Know therefore this day, and consider <i>it</i> in thine heart, that Yahweh he <i>is</i> Elohim in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: <i>there is</i> none else.


text:
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong <i>thy</i> days upon the earth, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, for ever.


text:
That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:


text:
<i>Namely</i>, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.


text:
These <i>are</i> the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,


text:
On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:


text:
And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which <i>were</i> on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;


text:
From Aroer, which <i>is</i> by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which <i>is</i> Hermon,


text:
And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.


text:
And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.


text:
Yahweh made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, <i>even</i> us, who <i>are</i> all of us here alive this day.


text:
I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you the word of Yahweh: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; saying,


text:
I <i>am</i> Yahweh thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.


text:
Thou shalt not make thee <i>any</i> graven image, <i>or</i> any likeness <i>of any thing</i> that <i>is</i> in heaven above, or that <i>is</i> in the earth beneath, or that <i>is</i> in the waters beneath the earth:


text:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I Yahweh thy Elohim <i>am</i> a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth <i>generation</i> of them that hate me,


text:
Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy Elohim in vain: for Yahweh will not hold <i>him</i> guiltless that taketh his name in vain.


text:
But the seventh day <i>is</i> the sabbath of Yahweh thy Elohim: <i>in it</i> thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that <i>is</i> within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.


text:
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and <i>that</i> Yahweh thy Elohim brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore Yahweh thy Elohim commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.


text:
Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy Elohim hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee.


text:
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any <i>thing</i> that <i>is</i> thy neighbour's.


text:
These words Yahweh spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.


text:
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, for the mountain did burn with fire, that ye came near unto me, <i>even</i> all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;


text:
And ye said, Behold, Yahweh our Elohim hath showed us his splendour and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that Elohim doth talk with man, and he liveth.


text:
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our Elohim any more, then we shall die.


text:
For who <i>is there of</i> all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we <i>have</i>, and lived?


text:
Go thou near, and hear all that Yahweh our Elohim shall say: and speak thou unto us all that Yahweh our Elohim shall speak unto thee; and we will hear <i>it</i>, and do <i>it</i>.


text:
And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Yahweh said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.


text:
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever


text:
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do <i>them</i> in the land which I give them to possess it.


text:
Ye shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your Elohim hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.


text:
Ye shall walk in all the ways which Yahweh your Elohim hath commanded you, that ye may live, and <i>that it may be</i> well with you, and <i>that</i> ye may prolong <i>your</i> days in the land which ye shall possess.


text:
Now these <i>are</i> the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahweh your Elohim commanded to teach you, that ye might do <i>them</i> in the land whither ye go to possess it:


text:
That thou mightest fear Yahweh thy Elohim, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.


text:
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do <i>it</i>; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Yahweh Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
And thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.


text:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.


text:
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.


text:
And it shall be, when Yahweh thy Elohim shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,


text:
And houses full of all good <i>things</i>, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;


text:
<i>Then</i> beware lest thou forget Yahweh, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> a jealous El among you lest the anger of Yahweh thy Elohim be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.


text:
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.


text:
And thou shalt do <i>that which is</i> right and good in the sight of Yahweh: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers,


text:
<i>And</i> when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What <i>mean</i> the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahweh our Elohim hath commanded you?


text:
Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:


text:
And Yahweh showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:


text:
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.


text:
And Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our Elohim, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as <i>it is</i> at this day.


text:
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our Elohim, as he hath commanded us.


text:
When Yahweh thy Elohim shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;


text:
And when Yahweh thy Elohim shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, <i>and</i> utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:


text:
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.


text:
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other elohim: so will the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.


text:
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.


text:
For thou <i>art</i> an holy people unto Yahweh thy Elohim: Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that <i>are</i> upon the face of the earth.


text:
Yahweh did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye <i>were</i> the fewest of all people:


text:
But because Yahweh loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.


text:
Know therefore that Yahweh thy Elohim, he <i>is</i> Elohim, the faithful El, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;


text:
And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.


text:
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.


text:
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that Yahweh thy Elohim shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:


text:
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.


text:
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.


text:
And Yahweh will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all <i>them</i> that hate thee.


text:
And thou shalt consume all the people which Yahweh thy Elohim shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their elohim; for that <i>will be</i> a snare unto thee.


text:
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: <i>but</i> shalt well remember what Yahweh thy Elohim did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;


text:
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby Yahweh thy Elohim brought thee out: so shall Yahweh thy Elohim do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.


text:
Moreover Yahweh thy Elohim will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.


text:
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> among you, a mighty El to be held in awe.


text:
And Yahweh thy Elohim will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.


text:
But Yahweh thy Elohim shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.


text:
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.


text:
The graven images of their elohim shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold <i>that is</i> on them, nor take <i>it</i> unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it <i>is</i> an abomination to Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: <i>but</i> thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it <i>is</i> a cursed thing.


text:
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh sware unto your fathers.


text:
And thou shalt remember all the way which Yahweh thy Elohim led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble <i>thee</i>, and to prove thee, to know what <i>was</i> in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.


text:
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yahweh doth man live.


text:
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, <i>so</i> Yahweh thy Elohim chasteneth thee.


text:
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of Yahweh thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;


text:
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;


text:
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any <i>thing</i> in it; a land whose stones <i>are</i> iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.


text:
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless Yahweh thy Elohim for the good land which he hath given thee.


text:
Beware that thou forget not Yahweh thy Elohim, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:


text:
Lest <i>when</i> thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt <i>therein</i>;


text:
And <i>when</i> thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;


text:
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget Yahweh thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;


text:
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, <i>wherein were</i> fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where <i>there was</i> no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;


text:
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;


text:
But thou shalt remember Yahweh thy Elohim: for <i>it is</i> he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as <i>it is</i> this day.


text:
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Yahweh thy Elohim, and walk after other elohim, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.


text:
As the nations which Yahweh destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
Hear, O Israel: Thou <i>art</i> to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,


text:
A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and <i>of whom</i> thou hast heard <i>say</i>, Who can stand before the children of Anak


text:
Understand therefore this day, that Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> he which goeth over before thee; <i>as</i> a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as Yahweh hath said unto thee.


text:
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that Yahweh thy Elohim hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh doth drive them out from before thee.


text:
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.


text:
Understand therefore, that Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou <i>art</i> a stiffnecked people.


text:
Remember, <i>and</i> forget not, how thou provokedst Yahweh thy Elohim to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Yahweh.


text:
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, <i>even</i> the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:


text:
And Yahweh delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of Elohim; and on them <i>was written</i> according to all the words, which Yahweh spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.


text:
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, <i>that</i> Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, <i>even</i> the tables of the covenant.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted <i>themselves</i>; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.


text:
Furthermore Yahweh spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it <i>is</i> a stiffnecked people:


text:
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.


text:
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant <i>were</i> in my two hands.


text:
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Yahweh your Elohim, <i>and</i> had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.


text:
And I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.


text:
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was wroth against you to destroy you. But Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also.


text:
And Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.


text:
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, <i>and</i> ground <i>it</i> very small, <i>even</i> until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.


text:
Likewise when Yahweh sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your Elohim, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.


text:
Thus I fell down before Yahweh forty days and forty nights, as I fell down <i>at the first</i>; because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.


text:
I prayed therefore unto Yahweh, and said, O Sovereign Yahweh, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.


text:
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:


text:
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.


text:
Yet they <i>are</i> thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.


text:
At that time Yahweh said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.


text:
And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.


text:
And I made an ark <i>of</i> shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.


text:
And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them unto me.


text:
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as Yahweh commanded me.


text:
And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.


text:
At that time Yahweh separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.


text:
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; Yahweh <i>is</i> his inheritance, according as Yahweh thy Elohim promised him.


text:
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, <i>and</i> Yahweh would not destroy thee.


text:
And Yahweh said unto me, Arise, take <i>thy</i> journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.


text:
And now, Israel, what doth Yahweh thy Elohim require of thee, but to fear Yahweh thy Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy Elohim with all thy heart and with all thy soul,


text:
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens <i>is</i> Yahweh's, thy Elohim, the earth <i>also</i>, with all that therein <i>is</i>.


text:
Only Yahweh had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, <i>even</i> you above all people, as <i>it is</i> this day.


text:
For Yahweh your Elohim <i>is</i> Elohei of elohim, and Sovereign of rulers, a great Elohim, a mighty, and to be held in awe, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:


text:
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.


text:
Thou shalt fear Yahweh thy Elohim; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.


text:
He <i>is</i> thy praise, and he <i>is</i> thy Elohim, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.


text:
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Yahweh thy Elohim hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.


text:
Therefore thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.


text:
And know ye this day: for <i>I speak</i> not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your Elohim, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,


text:
And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;


text:
And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and <i>how</i> Yahweh hath destroyed them unto this day;


text:
And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that <i>was</i> in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:


text:
Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;


text:
And that ye may prolong <i>your</i> days in the land, which Yahweh sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, <i>is</i> not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst <i>it</i> with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:


text:
But the land, whither ye go to possess it, <i>is</i> a land of hills and valleys, <i>and</i> drinketh water of the rain of heaven:


text:
A land which Yahweh thy Elohim careth for: the eyes of Yahweh thy Elohim <i>are</i> always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.


text:
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your Elohim, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,


text:
That I will give <i>you</i> the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.


text:
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other elohim, and worship them;


text:
And <i>then</i> Yahweh's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and <i>lest</i> ye perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh giveth you.


text:
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.


text:
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.


text:
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yahweh sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.


text:
For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;


text:
Then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.


text:
Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.


text:
There shall no man be able to stand before you: <i>for</i> Yahweh your Elohim shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.


text:
And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other elohim, which ye have not known.


text:
And it shall come to pass, when Yahweh thy Elohim hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.


text:
<i>Are</i> they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?


text:
For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your Elohim giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.


text:
These <i>are</i> the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which Yahweh Elohim of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.


text:
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their elohim, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:


text:
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their elohim, and destroy the names of them out of that place.


text:
But unto the place which Yahweh your Elohim shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, <i>even</i> unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:


text:
And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:


text:
And there ye shall eat before Yahweh your Elohim, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee.


text:
Ye shall not do after all <i>the things</i> that we do here this day, every man whatsoever <i>is</i> right in his own eyes.


text:
But <i>when</i> ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your Elohim giveth you to inherit, and <i>when</i> he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;


text:
Then there shall be a place which Yahweh your Elohim shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto Yahweh:


text:
And ye shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that <i>is</i> within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.


text:
But in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.


text:
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of Yahweh thy Elohim which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.


text:
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:


text:
But thou must eat them before Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that <i>is</i> within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before Yahweh thy Elohim in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.


text:
When Yahweh thy Elohim shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.


text:
If the place which Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Yahweh hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.


text:
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat <i>of</i> them alike.


text:
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood <i>is</i> the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.


text:
Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do <i>that which is</i> right in the sight of Yahweh.


text:
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which Yahweh shall choose:


text:
And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yahweh thy Elohim: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Yahweh thy Elohim, and thou shalt eat the flesh.


text:
Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest <i>that which is</i> good and right in the sight of Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
When Yahweh thy Elohim shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;


text:
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their elohim, saying, How did these nations serve their elohim? even so will I do likewise.


text:
Thou shalt not do so unto Yahweh thy Elohim: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hateth, have they done unto their elohim; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their elohim.


text:
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.


text:
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other elohim, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;


text:
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your Elohim proveth you, to know whether ye love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.


text:
Ye shall walk after Yahweh your Elohim, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.


text:
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn <i>you</i> away from Yahweh your Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which Yahweh thy Elohim commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.


text:
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which <i>is</i> as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other elohim, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;


text:
<i>Namely</i>, of the elohim of the people which <i>are</i> round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the <i>one</i> end of the earth even unto the <i>other</i> end of the earth;


text:
Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:


text:
But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.


text:
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from Yahweh thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.


text:
If thou shalt hear <i>say</i> in one of thy cities, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath given thee to dwell there, saying,


text:
<i>Certain</i> men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other elohim, which ye have not known;


text:
Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, <i>if it be</i> truth, <i>and</i> the thing certain, <i>that</i> such abomination is wrought among you;


text:
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that <i>is</i> therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.


text:
And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for Yahweh thy Elohim: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.


text:
And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;


text:
When thou shalt hearken to the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do <i>that which is</i> right in the eyes of Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Ye <i>are</i> the children of Yahweh your Elohim: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.


text:
For thou <i>art</i> an holy people unto Yahweh thy Elohim, and Yahweh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that <i>are</i> upon the earth.


text:
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.


text:
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, <i>and</i> cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.


text:
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; <i>as</i> the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; <i>therefore</i> they <i>are</i> unclean unto you.


text:
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it <i>is</i> unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.


text:
These ye shall eat of all that <i>are</i> in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:


text:
Ye shall not eat <i>of</i> any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that <i>is</i> in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou <i>art</i> an holy people unto Yahweh thy Elohim. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.


text:
And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy Elohim, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear Yahweh thy Elohim always.


text:
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; <i>or</i> if the place be too far from thee, which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose to set his name there, when Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee:


text:
Then shalt thou turn <i>it</i> into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose:


text:
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before Yahweh thy Elohim, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,


text:
And the Levite that <i>is</i> within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.


text:
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay <i>it</i> up within thy gates:


text:
And the Levite, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which <i>are</i> within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh thy Elohim may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.


text:
And this <i>is</i> the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth <i>ought</i> unto his neighbour shall release <i>it</i>; he shall not exact <i>it</i> of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called Yahweh's release.


text:
Of a foreigner thou mayest exact <i>it again</i>: but <i>that</i> which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;


text:
Save when there shall be no poor among you; for Yahweh shall greatly bless thee in the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance to possess it:


text:
Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.


text:
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:


text:
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, <i>in that</i> which he wanteth.


text:
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto Yahweh against thee, and it be sin unto thee.


text:
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.


text:
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.


text:
<i>And</i> if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.


text:
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: <i>of that</i> wherewith Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.


text:
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh thy Elohim redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.


text:
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;


text:
Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust <i>it</i> through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.


text:
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant <i>to thee</i>, in serving thee six years: and Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in all that thou doest.


text:
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Yahweh thy Elohim: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.


text:
Thou shalt eat <i>it</i> before Yahweh thy Elohim year by year in the place which Yahweh shall choose, thou and thy household.


text:
And if there be <i>any</i> blemish therein, <i>as if it be</i> lame, or blind, <i>or have</i> any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean <i>person shall eat it</i> alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.


text:
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Yahweh thy Elohim: for in the month of Abib Yahweh thy Elohim brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.


text:
Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto Yahweh thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to place his name there.


text:
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, <i>even</i> the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.


text:
And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there <i>any thing</i> of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the day before at even, remain all night until the morning.


text:
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee:


text:
But at the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.


text:
And thou shalt roast and eat <i>it</i> in the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.


text:
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day <i>shall be</i> a solemn assembly to Yahweh thy Elohim: thou shalt do no work <i>therein</i>.


text:
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from <i>such time as</i> thou beginnest <i>to put</i> the sickle to the corn.


text:
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Yahweh thy Elohim with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give <i>unto Yahweh thy Elohim</i>, according as Yahweh thy Elohim hath blessed thee:


text:
And thou shalt rejoice before Yahweh thy Elohim, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that <i>is</i> within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that <i>are</i> among you, in the place which Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen to place his name there.


text:
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.


text:
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:


text:
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that <i>are</i> within thy gates.


text:
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which Yahweh shall choose: because Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.


text:
Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty:


text:
Every man <i>shall give</i> as he is able, according to the blessing of Yahweh thy Elohim which he hath given thee.


text:
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.


text:
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.


text:
That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee.


text:
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of Yahweh thy Elohim, which thou shalt make thee.


text:
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto Yahweh thy Elohim <i>any</i> bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, <i>or</i> any evilfavouredness: for that <i>is</i> an abomination unto Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of Yahweh thy Elohim, in transgressing his covenant,


text:
And hath gone and served other elohim, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;


text:
And it be told thee, and thou hast heard <i>of it</i>, and enquired diligently, and, behold, <i>it be</i> true, <i>and</i> the thing certain, <i>that</i> such abomination is wrought in Israel:


text:
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, <i>even</i> that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.


text:
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; <i>but</i> at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.


text:
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.


text:
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, <i>being</i> matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose;


text:
And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:


text:
And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which Yahweh shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:


text:
According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, <i>to</i> the right hand, nor <i>to</i> the left.


text:
And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before Yahweh thy Elohim, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.


text:
When thou art come unto the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that <i>are</i> about me;


text:
Thou shalt in any wise set <i>him</i> king over thee, whom Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose: <i>one</i> from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which <i>is</i> not thy brother.


text:
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as Yahweh hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.


text:
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.


text:
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of <i>that which is</i> before the priests the Levites:


text:
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear Yahweh his Elohim, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:


text:
That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, <i>to</i> the right hand, or <i>to</i> the left: to the end that he may prolong <i>his</i> days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.


text:
The priests the Levites, <i>and</i> all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and his inheritance.


text:
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: Yahweh <i>is</i> their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.


text:
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether <i>it be</i> ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.


text:
The firstfruit <i>also</i> of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, him and his sons for ever.


text:
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which Yahweh shall choose;


text:
Then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his Elohim, as all his brethren the Levites <i>do</i>, which stand there before Yahweh.


text:
When thou art come into the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.


text:
There shall not be found among you <i>any one</i> that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, <i>or</i> that useth divination, <i>or</i> an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,


text:
For all that do these things <i>are</i> an abomination unto Yahweh: and because of these abominations Yahweh thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee.


text:
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, Yahweh thy Elohim hath not suffered thee so <i>to do</i>.


text:
Yahweh thy Elohim will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;


text:
According to all that thou desiredst of Yahweh thy Elohim in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh my Elohim, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.


text:
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.


text:
And it shall come to pass, <i>that</i> whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require <i>it</i> of him.


text:
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other elohim, even that prophet shall die.


text:
When a prophet speaketh in the name of Yahweh, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <i>is</i> the thing which Yahweh hath not spoken, <i>but</i> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


text:
When Yahweh thy Elohim hath cut off the nations, whose land Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;


text:
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it.


text:
Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.


text:
And this <i>is</i> the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;


text:
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:


text:
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he <i>was</i> not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.


text:
And if Yahweh thy Elohim enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;


text:
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love Yahweh thy Elohim, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:


text:
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance, and <i>so</i> blood be upon thee.


text:
But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:


text:
Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.


text:
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away <i>the guilt of</i> innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.


text:
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it.


text:
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.


text:
Then both the men, between whom the controversy <i>is</i>, shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;


text:
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, <i>if</i> the witness <i>be</i> a false witness, <i>and</i> hath testified falsely against his brother;


text:
Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.


text:
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.


text:
And thine eye shall not pity; <i>but</i> life <i>shall go</i> for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.


text:
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, <i>and</i> a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.


text:
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,


text:
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;


text:
For Yahweh your Elohim <i>is</i> he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.


text:
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man <i>is there</i> that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.


text:
And what man <i>is he</i> that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not <i>yet</i> eaten of it? let him <i>also</i> go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.


text:
And what man <i>is there</i> that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.


text:
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man <i>is there that is</i> fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.


text:
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.


text:
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, <i>that</i> all the people <i>that is</i> found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.


text:
And when Yahweh thy Elohim hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:


text:
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, <i>even</i> all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath given thee.


text:
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities <i>which are</i> very far off from thee, which <i>are</i> not of the cities of these nations.


text:
But of the cities of these people, which Yahweh thy Elohim doth give thee <i>for</i> an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:


text:
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; <i>namely</i>, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as Yahweh thy Elohim hath commanded thee:


text:
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their elohim; so should ye sin against Yahweh your Elohim.


text:
When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down for the tree of the field <i>is</i> man's <i>life</i> to employ <i>them</i> in the siege:


text:
Only the trees which thou knowest that they <i>be</i> not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.


text:
If <i>one</i> be found slain in the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, <i>and</i> it be not known who hath slain him:


text:
Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which <i>are</i> round about him that is slain:


text:
And it shall be, <i>that</i> the city <i>which is</i> next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, <i>and</i> which hath not drawn in the yoke;


text:
And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:


text:
And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be <i>tried</i>:


text:
And all the elders of that city, <i>that are</i> next unto the slain <i>man</i>, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:


text:
And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen <i>it</i>.


text:
Be merciful, O Yahweh, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.


text:
So shalt thou put away the <i>guilt of</i> innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do <i>that which is</i> right in the sight of Yahweh.


text:
When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and Yahweh thy Elohim hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,


text:
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;


text:
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.


text:
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.


text:
If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, <i>both</i> the beloved and the hated; and <i>if</i> the firstborn son be hers that was hated:


text:
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit <i>that</i> which he hath, <i>that</i> he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, <i>which is indeed</i> the firstborn:


text:
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated <i>for</i> the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he <i>is</i> the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn <i>is</i> his.


text:
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and <i>that</i>, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:


text:
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;


text:
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; <i>he is</i> a glutton, and a drunkard.


text:
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.


text:
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:


text:
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; for he that is hanged is accursed of Elohim; that thy land be not defiled, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance.


text:
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.


text:
And if thy brother <i>be</i> not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.


text:
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.


text:
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift <i>them</i> up again.


text:
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so <i>are</i> abomination unto Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, <i>whether they be</i> young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:


text:
<i>But</i> thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and <i>that</i> thou mayest prolong <i>thy</i> days.


text:
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.


text:
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.


text:
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest <i>thyself</i>.


text:
And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:


text:
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth <i>the tokens of</i> the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:


text:
And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;


text:
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech <i>against her</i>, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these <i>are the tokens of</i> my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.


text:
And they shall amerce him in an hundred <i>shekels</i> of silver, and give <i>them</i> unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.


text:
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.


text:
If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, <i>both</i> the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.


text:
If a damsel <i>that is</i> a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;


text:
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, <i>being</i> in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.


text:
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:


text:
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; <i>there is</i> in the damsel no sin <i>worthy</i> of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so <i>is</i> this matter:


text:
For he found her in the field, <i>and</i> the betrothed damsel cried, and <i>there was</i> none to save her.


text:
If a man find a damsel <i>that is</i> a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;


text:
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty <i>shekels</i> of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.


text:
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh.


text:
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of Yahweh.


text:
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of Yahweh for ever:


text:
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.


text:
Nevertheless Yahweh thy Elohim would not hearken unto Balaam; but Yahweh thy Elohim turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Yahweh thy Elohim loved thee.


text:
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he <i>is</i> thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.


text:
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of Yahweh in their third generation.


text:
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:


text:
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash <i>himself</i> with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp <i>again</i>.


text:
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:


text:
For Yahweh thy Elohim walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.


text:
He shall dwell with thee, <i>even</i> among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.


text:
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of Yahweh thy Elohim for any vow: for even both these <i>are</i> abomination unto Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:


text:
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that Yahweh thy Elohim may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.


text:
When thou shalt vow a vow unto Yahweh thy Elohim, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for Yahweh thy Elohim will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.


text:
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; <i>even</i> a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto Yahweh thy Elohim, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.


text:
When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put <i>any</i> in thy vessel.


text:
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.


text:
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give <i>it</i> in her hand, and send her out of his house.


text:
And <i>if</i> the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth <i>it</i> in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her <i>to be</i> his wife;


text:
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that <i>is</i> abomination before Yahweh: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance.


text:
When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: <i>but</i> he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.


text:
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh <i>a man's</i> life to pledge.


text:
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.


text:
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, <i>so</i> ye shall observe to do.


text:
Remember what Yahweh thy Elohim did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.


text:
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.


text:
In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that <i>is</i> poor and needy, <i>whether he be</i> of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that <i>are</i> in thy land within thy gates:


text:
At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he <i>is</i> poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto Yahweh, and it be sin unto thee.


text:
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.


text:
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, <i>nor</i> of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:


text:
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Yahweh thy Elohim redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.


text:
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that Yahweh thy Elohim may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.


text:
When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.


text:
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean <i>it</i> afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.


text:
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.


text:
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that <i>the judges</i> may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.


text:
And it shall be, if the wicked man <i>be</i> worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.


text:
Forty stripes he may give him, <i>and</i> not exceed: lest, <i>if</i> he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.


text:
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.


text:
And it shall be, <i>that</i> the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother <i>which is</i> dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.


text:
And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.


text:
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and <i>if</i> he stand <i>to it</i>, and say, I like not to take her;


text:
Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.


text:
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:


text:
<i>But</i> thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee.


text:
For all that do such things, <i>and</i> all that do unrighteously, <i>are</i> an abomination unto Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, <i>even</i> all <i>that were</i> feeble behind thee, when thou <i>wast</i> faint and weary; and he feared not Elohim.


text:
Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh thy Elohim hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance to possess it, <i>that</i> thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget <i>it</i>.


text:
And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee <i>for</i> an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;


text:
That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt put <i>it</i> in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Yahweh thy Elohim shall choose to place his name there.


text:
And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Yahweh thy Elohim, that I am come unto the country which Yahweh sware unto our fathers for to give us.


text:
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
And thou shalt speak and say before Yahweh thy Elohim, A Syrian ready to perish <i>was</i> my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:


text:
And when we cried unto Yahweh Elohim of our fathers, Yahweh heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:


text:
And Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:


text:
And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, <i>even</i> a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Yahweh, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before Yahweh thy Elohim, and worship before Yahweh thy Elohim:


text:
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which Yahweh thy Elohim hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that <i>is</i> among you.


text:
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, <i>which is</i> the year of tithing, and hast given <i>it</i> unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;


text:
Then thou shalt say before Yahweh thy Elohim, I have brought away the hallowed things out of <i>mine</i> house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten <i>them</i>:


text:
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away <i>ought</i> thereof for <i>any</i> unclean <i>use</i>, nor given <i>ought</i> thereof for the dead: <i>but</i> I have hearkened to the voice of Yahweh my Elohim, <i>and</i> have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.


text:
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
This day Yahweh thy Elohim hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.


text:
Thou hast avouched Yahweh this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:


text:
And Yahweh hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that <i>thou</i> shouldest keep all his commandments;


text:
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto Yahweh thy Elohim, as he hath spoken.


text:
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.


text:
And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:


text:
And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as Yahweh Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee.


text:
Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, <i>that</i> ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

text:
Thou shalt build the altar of Yahweh thy Elohim of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto Yahweh thy Elohim:


text:
And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of Yahweh thy Elohim.


text:
Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.


text:
These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:

And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.


text:

Yahweh shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.


text:
And Yahweh shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh thy Elohim, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:


text:
And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, <i>to</i> the right hand, or <i>to</i> the left, to go after other elohim to serve them.


text:
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

Cursed <i>shalt</i> thou <i>be</i> in the city, and cursed <i>shalt</i> thou <i>be</i> in the field.


text:
Cursed <i>shall be</i> the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

text:
Thine ox <i>shall be</i> slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass <i>shall be</i> violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep <i>shall be</i> given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue <i>them</i>.


text:
Thy sons and thy daughters <i>shall be</i> given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail <i>with longing</i> for them all the day long: and <i>there shall be</i> no might in thine hand.


text:
The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

text:
Yahweh shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other elohim, wood and stone.

text:
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:


text:
Because thou servedst not Yahweh thy Elohim with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all <i>things</i>;


text:
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which Yahweh shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all <i>things</i>: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.


text:
Yahweh shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, <i>as swift</i> as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

text:
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which <i>also</i> shall not leave thee <i>either</i> corn, wine, or oil, <i>or</i> the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.


text:
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath given thee.


text:
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which Yahweh thy Elohim hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:


text:
<i>So that</i> the man <i>that is</i> tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:


text:
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,


text:
And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all <i>things</i> secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.


text:
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this honorable and fearful name, Yahweh thy Elohim;

Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

And Yahweh shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other elohim, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, <i>even</i> wood and stone.


text:
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but Yahweh shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:


text:
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:


text:
In the morning thou shalt say, If only it were even and at even thou shalt say, If only it were morning for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.


text:
And Yahweh shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy <i>you</i>.


text:
These <i>are</i> the words of the covenant, which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

text:
And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:


text:
And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.


text:
Ye stand this day all of you before Yahweh your Elohim; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, <i>with</i> all the men of Israel,


text:
Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that <i>is</i> in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:


text:
That thou shouldest enter into covenant with Yahweh thy Elohim, and into his oath, which Yahweh thy Elohim maketh with thee this day:


text:
That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and <i>that</i> he may be unto thee an Elohim, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.


text:
But with <i>him</i> that standeth here with us this day before Yahweh our Elohim, and also with <i>him</i> that <i>is</i> not here with us this day:


text:
For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;


text:
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which <i>were</i> among them:


text:
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Yahweh our Elohim, to go <i>and</i> serve the elohim of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;


text:
And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Yahweh will not spare him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and Yahweh shall blot out his name from under heaven.


text:
And Yahweh shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:


text:
So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which Yahweh hath laid upon it;


text:
<i>And that</i> the whole land thereof <i>is</i> brimstone, and salt, <i>and</i> burning, <i>that</i> it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:


text:
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath Yahweh done thus unto this land? what <i>meaneth</i> the heat of this great anger?


text:
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Yahweh Elohim of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:


text:
For they went and served other elohim, and worshipped them, elohim whom they knew not, and <i>whom</i> he had not given unto them:


text:
And the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:


text:
And Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as <i>it is</i> this day.


text:
The secret <i>things belong</i> unto Yahweh our Elohim: but those <i>things which are</i> revealed <i>belong</i> unto us and to our children for ever, that <i>we</i> may do all the words of this law.


text:
And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call <i>them</i> to mind among all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Elohim hath driven thee,


text:
And shalt return unto Yahweh thy Elohim, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;


text:
That then Yahweh thy Elohim will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Elohim hath scattered thee.


text:
If <i>any</i> of thine be driven out unto the outmost <i>parts</i> of heaven, from thence will Yahweh thy Elohim gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:


text:
And Yahweh thy Elohim will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.


text:
And Yahweh thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.


text:
And Yahweh thy Elohim will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.


text:
And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.


text:
And Yahweh thy Elohim will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:


text:
If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, <i>and</i> if thou turn unto Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.


text:
For this commandment which I command thee this day, it <i>is</i> not hidden from thee, neither <i>is</i> it far off.


text:
It <i>is</i> not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?


text:
Neither <i>is</i> it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?


text:
In that I command thee this day to love Yahweh thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.


text:
But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other elohim, and serve them;


text:
I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, <i>and that</i> ye shall not prolong <i>your</i> days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.


text:
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, <i>that</i> I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:


text:
That thou mayest love Yahweh thy Elohim, <i>and</i> that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he <i>is</i> thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.


text:
And he said unto them, I <i>am</i> an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also Yahweh hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.


text:
Yahweh thy Elohim, he will go over before thee, <i>and</i> he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: <i>and</i> Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Yahweh hath said.


text:
And Yahweh shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.


text:
And Yahweh shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.


text:
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for Yahweh thy Elohim, he <i>it is</i> that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


text:
And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which Yahweh hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.


text:
And Yahweh, he <i>it is</i> that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.


text:
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and unto all the elders of Israel.


text:
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of <i>every</i> seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,


text:
When all Israel is come to appear before Yahweh thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.


text:
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that <i>is</i> within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your Elohim, and observe to do all the words of this law:


text:
And <i>that</i> their children, which have not known <i>any thing</i>, may hear, and learn to fear Yahweh your Elohim, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And Yahweh appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the elohim of the strangers of the land, whither they go <i>to be</i> among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.


text:
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our Elohim <i>is</i> not among us?


text:
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other elohim.


text:
Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.


text:
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other elohim, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.


text:
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.


text:
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.


text:
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,


text:
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your Elohim, that it may be there for a witness against thee.


text:
For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death?


text:
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.


text:
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt <i>yourselves</i>, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.


text:
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.


text:
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:


text:
<i>He is</i> the Rock, his work <i>is</i> perfect: for all his ways <i>are</i> judgment: an Elohim of truth and without iniquity, just and right <i>is</i> he.


text:
They have corrupted themselves, their spot <i>is</i> not <i>the spot</i> of his children: <i>they are</i> a perverse and crooked generation.


text:
Do ye thus requite Yahweh, O foolish people and unwise? <i>is</i> not he thy father <i>that</i> hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?


text:
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.


text:
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.


text:
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.


text:
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:


text:
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;


text:
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.


text:
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered <i>with fatness</i>; then he forsook Eloah <i>which</i> made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.


text:
They provoked him to jealousy with strange <i>elohim</i>, with abominations provoked they him to anger.


text:
They sacrificed unto devils, not to Eloah; to elohim whom they knew not, to new <i>elohim that</i> came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.


text:
And when Yahweh saw <i>it</i>, he abhorred <i>them</i>, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.


text:
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end <i>shall be</i>: for they <i>are</i> a very froward generation, children in whom <i>is</i> no faith.


text:
They have moved me to jealousy with <i>that which is</i> not El; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with <i>those which are</i> not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.


text:
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.


text:
<i>They shall be</i> burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.


text:
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling <i>also</i> with the man of gray hairs.


text:
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:


text:
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, <i>and</i> lest they should say, Our hand <i>is</i> high, and Yahweh hath not done all this.


text:
O that they were wise, <i>that</i> they understood this, <i>that</i> they would consider their latter end


text:
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had shut them up?


text:
For their vine <i>is</i> of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes <i>are</i> grapes of gall, their clusters <i>are</i> bitter:


text:
To me <i>belongeth</i> vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in <i>due</i> time: for the day of their calamity <i>is</i> at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.


text:
For Yahweh shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that <i>their</i> power is gone, and <i>there is</i> none shut up, or left.


text:
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, <i>and</i> drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, <i>and</i> be your protection.


text:
See now that I, <i>even</i> I, <i>am</i> he, and <i>there is</i> no elohim with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither <i>is there any</i> that can deliver out of my hand.


text:
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.


text:
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; <i>and that</i> with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.


text:
Rejoice, O ye nations, <i>with</i> his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, <i>and</i> to his people.


text:
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.


text:
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.


text:
For it <i>is</i> not a vain thing for you; because it <i>is</i> your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong <i>your</i> days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.


text:
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, <i>unto</i> mount Nebo, which <i>is</i> in the land of Moab, that <i>is</i> over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:


text:
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:


text:
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.


text:
Yet thou shalt see the land before <i>thee</i>; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.


text:
And this <i>is</i> the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of Elohim blessed the children of Israel before his death.


text:
And he said, Yahweh came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand <i>went</i> a fiery law for them.


text:
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints <i>are</i> in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; <i>every one</i> shall receive of thy words.


text:
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people <i>and</i> the tribes of Israel were gathered together.


text:
And this <i>is the blessing</i> of Judah: and he said, Hear, Yahweh, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help <i>to him</i> from his enemies.


text:
And of Levi he said, <i>Let</i> thy Thummim and thy Urim <i>be</i> with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, <i>and with</i> whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;


text:
Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.


text:
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.


text:
Bless, Yahweh, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.


text:
<i>And</i> of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Yahweh shall dwell in safety by him; <i>and Yahweh</i> shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.


text:
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yahweh <i>be</i> his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,


text:
And for the precious fruits <i>brought forth</i> by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,


text:
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,


text:
And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and <i>for</i> the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let <i>the blessing</i> come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him <i>that was</i> separated from his brethren.


text:
His majesty <i>is like</i> the firstling of his bullock, and his horns <i>are like</i> the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they <i>are</i> the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they <i>are</i> the thousands of Manasseh.


text:
They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck <i>of</i> the abundance of the seas, and <i>of</i> treasures hid in the sand.


text:
And of Gad he said, Blessed <i>be</i> he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.


text:
And he provided the first part for himself, because there, <i>in</i> a portion of the lawgiver, <i>was he</i> seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of Yahweh, and his judgments with Israel.


text:
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of Yahweh: possess thou the west and the south.


text:
And of Asher he said, <i>Let</i> Asher <i>be</i> blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.


text:
<i>There is</i> none like unto the El of Jeshurun, <i>who</i> rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.


text:
The eternal Elohim <i>is thy</i> refuge, and underneath <i>are</i> the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy <i>them</i>.


text:
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob <i>shall be</i> upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.


text:
Happy <i>art</i> thou, O Israel: who <i>is</i> like unto thee, O people saved by Yahweh, the shield of thy help, and who <i>is</i> the sword of thy excellency and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.


text:
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that <i>is</i> over against Jericho. And Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,


text:
And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,


text:
And Yahweh said unto him, This <i>is</i> the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see <i>it</i> with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.


text:
And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.


text:
And Moses <i>was</i> an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.


text:
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping <i>and</i> mourning for Moses were ended.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses.


text:
In all the signs and the wonders, which Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,


text:
And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.


text:
Now after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh it came to pass, that Yahweh spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,


text:
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, <i>even</i> to the children of Israel.


text:
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.


text:
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.


text:
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, <i>so</i> I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


text:
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.


text:
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it <i>to</i> the right hand or <i>to</i> the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.


text:
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


text:
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for Yahweh thy Elohim <i>is</i> with thee whithersoever thou goest.


text:
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh your Elohim giveth you to possess it.


text:
Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, Yahweh your Elohim hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.


text:
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;


text:
Until Yahweh have given your brethren rest, as <i>he hath given</i> you, and they also have possessed the land which Yahweh your Elohim giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy <i>it</i>, which Moses Yahweh's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.


text:
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.


text:
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Yahweh thy Elohim be with thee, as he was with Moses.


text:
Whosoever <i>he be</i> that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.


text:
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.


text:
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.


text:
And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they <i>were:</i>


text:
And it came to pass <i>about the time</i> of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.


text:
But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.


text:
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.


text:
And she said unto the men, I know that Yahweh hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.


text:
For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that <i>were</i> on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.


text:
And as soon as we had heard <i>these things</i>, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your Elohim, he <i>is</i> Elohim in heaven above, and in earth beneath.


text:
Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by Yahweh, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:


text:
And <i>that</i> ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.


text:
And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when Yahweh hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.


text:
Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house <i>was</i> upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.


text:
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.


text:
And the men said unto her, We <i>will</i> be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.


text:
Behold, <i>when</i> we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.


text:
And it shall be, <i>that</i> whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood <i>shall be</i> upon his head, and we <i>will</i> be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood <i>shall</i> be on our head, if <i>any</i> hand be upon him.


text:
And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.


text:
And she said, According unto your words, <i>so be</i> it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.


text:
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought <i>them</i> throughout all the way, but found <i>them</i> not.


text:
So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all <i>things</i> that befell them:


text:
And they said unto Joshua, Truly Yahweh hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.


text:
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.


text:
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your Elohim, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.


text:
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed <i>this</i> way heretofore.


text:
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.


text:
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, <i>so</i> I will be with thee.


text:
And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.


text:
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living El <i>is</i> among you, and <i>that</i> he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.


text:
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Sovereign of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.


text:
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of Yahweh, the Sovereign of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, <i>that</i> the waters of Jordan shall be cut <i>off from</i> the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.


text:
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;


text:
And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,


text:
That the waters which came down from above stood <i>and</i> rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that <i>is</i> beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, <i>even</i> the salt sea, failed, <i>and</i> were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.


text:
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.


text:
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that Yahweh spake unto Joshua, saying,


text:
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.


text:
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:


text:
And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Yahweh your Elohim into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:


text:
That this may be a sign among you, <i>that</i> when your children ask <i>their</i> fathers in time to come, saying, What <i>mean</i> ye by these stones?


text:
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.


text:
And the children of Israel did <i>so</i> as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as Yahweh spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.


text:
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.


text:
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.


text:
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Yahweh passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.


text:
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:


text:
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before Yahweh unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.


text:
On that day Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.


text:
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Yahweh were come up out of the midst of Jordan, <i>and</i> the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as <i>they did</i> before.


text:
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth <i>day</i> of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.


text:
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What <i>mean</i> these stones?


text:
For Yahweh your Elohim dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Yahweh your Elohim did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:


text:
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that it <i>is</i> mighty: that ye might fear Yahweh your Elohim for ever.


text:
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which <i>were</i> on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which <i>were</i> by the sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.


text:
At that time Yahweh said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.


text:
And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.


text:
And this <i>is</i> the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, <i>that were</i> males, <i>even</i> all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.


text:
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people <i>that were</i> born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, <i>them</i> they had not circumcised.


text:
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people <i>that were</i> men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of Yahweh: unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not show them the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.


text:
And their children, <i>whom</i> he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.


text:
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.


text:
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.


text:
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched <i>corn</i> in the selfsame day.


text:
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.


text:
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, <i>Art</i> thou for us, or for our adversaries?


text:
And he said, Nay; but <i>as</i> captain of the host of Yahweh am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my master unto his servant?


text:
And the captain of Yahweh's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest <i>is</i> holy. And Joshua did so.


text:
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, <i>and</i> the mighty men of valour.


text:
And ye shall compass the city, all <i>ye</i> men of war, <i>and</i> go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.


text:
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.


text:
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long <i>blast</i> with the ram's horn, <i>and</i> when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh.


text:
And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of Yahweh.


text:
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before Yahweh, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.


text:
And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark, <i>the priests</i> going on, and blowing with the trumpets.


text:
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.


text:
So the ark of Yahweh compassed the city, going about <i>it</i> once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.


text:
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rearguard came after the ark of Yahweh, <i>the priests</i> going on, and blowing with the trumpets.


text:
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.


text:
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Yahweh hath given you the city.


text:
And the city shall be accursed, <i>even</i> it, and all that <i>are</i> therein, to Yahweh: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that <i>are</i> with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.


text:
And ye, in any wise keep <i>yourselves</i> from the accursed thing, lest ye make <i>yourselves</i> accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.


text:
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, <i>are</i> consecrated unto Yahweh: they shall come into the treasury of Yahweh.


text:
So the people shouted when <i>the priests</i> blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.


text:
And they utterly destroyed all that <i>was</i> in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.


text:
But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.


text:
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.


text:
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that <i>was</i> therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.


text:
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel <i>even</i> unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.


text:
And Joshua adjured <i>them</i> at that time, saying, Cursed <i>be</i> the man before Yahweh, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.


text:
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the children of Israel.


text:
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.


text:
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; <i>and</i> make not all the people to labour thither; for they <i>are</i> but few.


text:
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.


text:
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them <i>from</i> before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.


text:
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Yahweh until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.


text:
And Joshua said, Alas, O Sovereign Yahweh, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan


text:
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear <i>of it,</i> and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?


text:
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put <i>it</i> even among their own stuff.


text:
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, <i>but</i> turned <i>their</i> backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.


text:
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith Yahweh Elohim of Israel, <i>There is</i> an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.


text:
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, <i>that</i> the tribe which Yahweh taketh shall come according to the families <i>thereof;</i> and the family which Yahweh shall take shall come by households; and the household which Yahweh shall take shall come man by man.


text:
And it shall be, <i>that</i> he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.


text:
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:


text:
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:


text:
And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.


text:
And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, honour to Yahweh Elohim of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide <i>it</i> not from me.


text:
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against Yahweh Elohim of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:


text:
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they <i>are</i> hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.


text:
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, <i>it was</i> hid in his tent, and the silver under it.


text:
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Yahweh.


text:
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.


text:
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Yahweh shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.


text:
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.


text:
And Yahweh said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:


text:
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.


text:
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.


text:
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, <i>even</i> behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:


text:
And I, and all the people that <i>are</i> with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,


text:
For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.


text:
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for Yahweh your Elohim will deliver it into your hand.


text:
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, <i>that</i> ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of Yahweh shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.


text:
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.


text:
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.


text:
And all the people, <i>even the people</i> of war that <i>were</i> with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now <i>there was</i> a valley between them and Ai.


text:
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.


text:
And when they had set the people, <i>even</i> all the host that <i>was</i> on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
