But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t goattack up against the people because they are stronger than we are!” |
| 13:33 |
We even saw the Nephilim there — the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.” |
| 14:3 |
Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to die by the sword? Our wives and little children will become plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” |
| 14:5 |
Then Moses and Aaron fell downfacedown with their faces to the ground in front of the whole assembly of the Israelite community. |
| 14:7 |
and said to the entire Israelite community:, “The land we passed through and explored is an extremely good land. |
| 14:8 |
If the Lord is pleased with us, Hehe will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and give it to us. |
| 14:11 |
The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people despise Meme? How long will they not trust in Meme despite all the signs I have performed among them? |
| 14:13 |
But Moses replied to the Lord, “The Egyptians will hear about it, for by Youryour strength Youyou brought up this people from them. |
| 14:14 |
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that Youyou, Lord, are among these people, how Youyou, Lord, are seen face to face, how Youryour cloud stands over them, and how Youyou go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. |
| 14:15 |
If Youyou kill this people with a single blow, the nations that have heard of Youryour fame will declare, |
| 14:16 |
‘Since the Lord wasn’t able to bring this people into the land Hehe swore to give them, Hehe has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’ |
| 14:17 |
“So now, may my Lord’s power be magnified just as Youyou have spoken: |
| 14:18 |
The Lord is slow to anger and richabounding in faithful love, forgiving wrongdoinginiquity and rebellion. But Hehe will not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers’ wrongdoinginiquity on the children to the third and fourth generation. |
| 14:19 |
Please pardon the wrongdoinginiquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Youryour faithful love, just as Youyou have forgiven them from Egypt until now.” |
| 14:21 |
Yet as surely as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the Lord’s glory, |
| 14:22 |
none of the men who have seen Mymy glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested Meme these 10ten times and did not obey Meme, |
| 14:23 |
will ever see the land I swore to give their fathersancestors. None of those who have despised Meme will see it. |
| 14:24 |
But since Mymy servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followedremained Meloyal completelyto me, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it. |
| 14:27 |
“How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about Meme? I have heard the Israelites’ complaints that they make against Meme. |
| 14:28 |
Tell them: As surely as I live,” — this is the Lord’s declaration, “— I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. |
| 14:29 |
Your corpses will fall in this wilderness — all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you 20twenty years old or more — because you have complained about Meme. |
| 14:33 |
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for 40forty years and bear the penalty for your acts of unfaithfulness until all your corpses lie scattered in the wilderness. |
| 14:34 |
You will bear the consequences of your sinsiniquities 40forty years based on the number of the 40forty days that you scouted the land, a year for each day. You will know Mymy displeasure. |
| 14:35 |
I, Yahwehthe Lord, have spoken. I swear that I will do this to the entire evil community that has conspired against Meme. They will come to an end in the wilderness, and there they will die.” |
| 14:36 |
So the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and who returned and incited the entire community to complain about him by spreading a negative report about the land — |
| 14:43 |
The Amalekites and Canaanites are right in front of you, and you will fall by the sword. The Lord won’t be with you, since you have turned from following Himhim.” |
| 15:1 |
The Lord instructed Moses:, |
| 15:3 |
and you make a firefood offering to the Lord from the herd or flock — either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals — to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord, |
| 15:4 |
the one presenting his offering to the Lord mustis also to present a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil. |
| 15:6 |
“If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it mustis to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon of oil. |
| 15:9 |
a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with two quarts of oil mustis to be presented with the bull. |
| 15:10 |
Also present two quarts of wine as a drink offering. It is a firefood offering, ofa pleasing aroma to the Lord. |
| 15:12 |
This is how you mustare to prepare each of them, no matter how many. |
| 15:13 |
“Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a firefood offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. |
| 15:14 |
When aan foreigneralien resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a firefood offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations. |
| 15:15 |
The assembly is to have the same statute for both you and the foreign resident alien as a permanent statute throughout your generations. You and the foreigneralien will be alike before the Lord. |
| 15:16 |
The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the foreigneralien who resides with you.” |
| 15:17 |
The Lord instructed Moses:, |
| 15:22 |
“When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses — |
| 15:23 |
all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord issued the commands and onward throughout your generations — |
| 15:25 |
The priest mustwill then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, onea madefood byoffering fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin. |
| 15:26 |
The entire Israelite community and the foreigneralien who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally. |
| 15:28 |
The priest mustwill then make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven. |
| 15:29 |
You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or aan foreigneralien who livesresides among you. |
| 15:30 |
“But the person who acts defiantly, whether native or foreignresident residentalien, blasphemes the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people. |
| 15:31 |
He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the Lord’s word and broken Hishis command; his guilt remains on him.” |
| 15:39 |
These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the Lord’s commands and obey them and not becomeprostitute unfaithfulyourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes. |
| 15:40 |
This way you will remember and obey all Mymy commands and be holy to your God. |
| 15:41 |
I am Yahwehthe Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Yahwehthe Lord your God.” |
| 16:2 |
250two hundred fifty prominent Israelite men who were leaders of the community and representatives in the assembly, and they rebelled against Moses. |
| 16:5 |
Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will reveal who belongs to Himhim, who is set apart, and the one Hehe will let come near Himhim. He will let the one Hehe chooses come near Himhim. |
| 16:9 |
Isn’t it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the Israelite community to bring you near to Himselfhimself, to perform the work at the Lord’s tabernacle, and to stand before the community to minister to them? |
| 16:10 |
He has brought you near, and all your fellow Levites who are with you, but you are seekingpursuing the priesthood as well. |
| 16:16 |
So Moses told Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow — you, they, and Aaron. |
| 16:17 |
Each of you is to take his firepan, place incense on it, and present his firepan before the Lord — 250 firepans. You and Aaron are each to present your firepan also.” |
| 16:22 |
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “God, God ofwho thegives spiritsbreath ofto all flesh, when one man sins, will Youyou vent Youryour wrath on the whole community?” |
| 16:39 |
So Eleazar the priest Eleazar took the bronze firepans that those who were burned had presented, and they were hammered into plating for the altar, |
| 17:1 |
The Lord instructed Moses:, |
| 17:2 |
“Speak to the Israelites and take one staff from them for each ancestral housetribe, 12twelve staffs from all the leaders of their ancestral housestribes. Write each man’s name on his staff. |
| 17:3 |
Write Aaron’s name on Levi’s staff, because there mustis to be one staff for the head of each ancestral housetribe. |
| 17:5 |
The staff of the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myselfmyself of the Israelites’ complaints that they have been making about you.” |
| 17:6 |
So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of their ancestral housestribes, 12twelve staffs in all. Aaron’s staff was among them. |
| 17:10 |
The Lord told Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before Meme, or else they will die.” |
| 18:1 |
The Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestral housefamily will be responsible for sininiquity against the sanctuary. You and your sons will be responsible for sininiquity involving your priesthood. |
| 18:7 |
But you and your sons will carry out your priestly responsibilities for everything concerning the altar and for what is inside the veilcurtain, and you will do that work. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but an unauthorized person who comes near the sanctuary will be put to death.” |
| 18:8 |
Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions brought to Meme. As for all the holy offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute. |
| 18:9 |
A portion of the holiest offerings kept from the fire will be yours; every one of their offerings that they give Meme, whether the grain offering, sin offering, or restitutionguilt offering will be most holy for you and your sons. |
| 18:12 |
I am giving you all the best of the fresh olive oil, new wine, and grain, which the Israelites give to the Lord as their firstfruits. |
| 18:15 |
The firstborn of every living thing, manhuman or animal, presented to the Lord belongs to you. But you must certainly redeem thea human firstborn of man, and redeem the firstborn of an unclean animal. |
| 18:16 |
You will pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your assessment: five shekels of silver by the standard sanctuary shekel, which is 20twenty gerahs. |
| 18:17 |
“However, you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinklesplatter their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a firefood offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord. |
| 18:23 |
The Levites will do the work of the tent of meeting, and they will bear the consequences of their sininiquity. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites; this is a permanent statute throughout your generations. |
| 18:26 |
“Speak to the Levites and tell them: When you receive from the Israelites the tenth that I have given you as your inheritance, you mustare to present part of it as an offering to the Lord — a tenth of the tenth. |
| 18:28 |
You are to present an offering to the Lord from every tenth you receive from the Israelites. Give some of it to Aaron the priest Aaron as an offering to the Lord. |
| 19:3 |
Give it to Eleazar the priest Eleazar, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence. |
| 19:4 |
EleazarThe the priest Eleazar is to take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting. |
| 19:5 |
The cow mustis to be burned in his sight. Its hide, flesh, and blood, are to be burned along with its dungwaste. |
| 19:9 |
“A man who is clean is to gather up the cow’s ashes and deposit them outside the camp in a ceremonially clean place. The ashes mustwill be kept by the Israelite community for preparing the water to remove impurity; it is a sin offering. |
| 19:10 |
Then the one who gathers up the cow’s ashes must wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until evening. This is a permanent statute for the Israelites and for the foreigneralien who resides among them. |
| 20:6 |
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting. They fell down with their faces to the groundfacedown, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them. |
| 20:9 |
So Moses took the staff from the Lord’s presence just as Hehe had commanded him. |
| 20:11 |
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that aabundant great amount of water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. |
| 20:12 |
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Meme to showdemonstrate Mymy holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.” |
| 20:13 |
These are the watersWaters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the Lord, and Hehe showeddemonstrated Hishis holiness to them. |
| 20:15 |
Our fathersancestors went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt many years, but the Egyptians treated us and our fathersancestors badly. |
| 20:16 |
When we cried out to the Lord, Hehe heard our voiceplea, and sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your territory. |
| 20:18 |
But Edom answered him, “You mustwill not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.” |
| 20:20 |
Yet Edom insisted, “You mustmay not travel through.” And they came out to confront them with a large force of heavily-armed people. |
| 20:24 |
“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against Mymy command at the watersWaters of Meribah. |
| 20:29 |
When the whole community saw that Aaron had passed away, the entire house of Israel mourned for him 30thirty days. |
| 21:2 |
Then Israel made a vow to the Lord, “If Youyou will deliverhand this people intoover ourto handsus, we will completely destroy their cities.” |
| 21:3 |
The Lord listened to Israel’s request, and handed the Canaanites wereover defeatedto them, and Israel completely destroyed them and their cities. So they named the place Hormah. |
| 21:7 |
The people then came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede with the Lord so that Hehe will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people. |
| 21:17 |
Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, well — sing to it! |
| 21:21 |
Israel sent messengers to say to King Sihon king of the Amorites:, |
| 21:25 |
Israel took all the cities and lived in all these Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its surrounding villages. |
| 21:26 |
Heshbon was the city of King Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken control of all his land as far as the Arnon. |
| 21:28 |
For fire came out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the lordscitizens of Arnon’s heights. |
| 21:32 |
After Moses sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its surrounding villages and drove out the Amorites who were there. |
| 21:33 |
Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og king of Bashan came out against them with his whole army to do battle at Edrei. |
| 21:34 |
But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” |
| 22:5 |
he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates in the land of his people. Balak said to him:, “Look, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the surface of the land and are living right across from me. |
| 22:17 |
for I will greatly honor you and do whatever you ask me. So please come and put a curse on these people for me!’”! ’” |
| 22:22 |
But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the Angelangel of the Lord took Hishis stand on the path to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him. |
| 22:23 |
When the donkey saw the Angelangel of the Lord standing on the path with a drawn sword in Hishis hand, she turned off the path and went into the field. So Balaam hit her to return her to the path. |
| 22:24 |
Then the Angelangel of the Lord stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a stone wall on either side. |
| 22:25 |
The donkey saw the Angelangel of the Lord and pressed herself against the wall, squeezing Balaam’s foot against it. So he hit her once again. |
| 22:26 |
The Angelangel of the Lord went ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn to the right or the left. |
| 22:27 |
When the donkey saw the Angelangel of the Lord, she crouched down under Balaam. So he became furious and beat the donkey with his stick. |
| 22:31 |
Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angelangel of the Lord standing in the path with a drawn sword in Hishis hand. Balaam knelt low and bowed within worship on his face to the ground. |
| 22:32 |
The Angelangel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you, because I consider what you are doing isto be evil in My sight. |
| 22:33 |
The donkey saw Meme and turned away from Meme these three times. If she had not turned away from Meme, I would have killed you by now and let her live.” |
| 22:34 |
Balaam said to the Angelangel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that Youyou were standing in the path to confront me. And now, if it is evil in Youryour sight, I will go back.” |
| 22:35 |
Then the Angelangel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you are to say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials. |
| 22:40 |
Balak sacrificed cattle, and sheep, and goats and sent for Balaam and the officials who were with him. |
| 23:3 |
Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone. Maybe the Lord will meet with me. I will tell you whatever Hehe reveals to me.” So he went to a barren hill. |
| 23:4 |
God met with him and Balaam said to Himhim, “I have arranged seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.” |
| 23:10 |
Who has counted the dust of Jacob or numbered theeven dustone-fourth clouds of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright; let the end of my life be like theirs. |
| 23:16 |
The Lord met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth. Then Hehe said, “Return to Balak and say what I tell you.” |
| 23:19 |
God is not a man, whothat lieshe might lie, or a son of man, whothat changeshe Hismight change his mind. Does Hehe speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill? |
| 23:20 |
I have indeed received a command to bless; since Hehe has blessed, I cannot change it. |
| 23:21 |
He considers no disaster for Jacob; Hehe sees no trouble for Israel. The Lord their God is with them, and there is rejoicing over the King among them. |
| 23:22 |
God brought them out of Egypt; Hehe is like the horns of a wild ox for them. |
| 23:24 |
A people rise up like a lioness; Theythey rouse themselves like a lion. They will not lie down until they devour the prey and drink the blood of the slain. |
| 24:8 |
God brought him out of Egypt; Hehe is like the horns of a wild ox for them. He will feed on enemy nations and gnaw their bones; he will strike them with his arrows. |
| 24:9 |
He crouches, he lies down like a lion or a lioness — who dares to rouse him? Those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed. |
| 24:24 |
Ships will come from the coast of Kittim; they will afflictcarry out raids against Asshur and Eber, but they too will come to destruction. |
| 25:1 |
While Israel was staying in the Acacia Grove, the people began to haveprostitute sexualthemselves relations with the women of Moab. |
| 25:4 |
The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the Lord so that Hishis burning anger may turn away from Israel.” |
| 25:8 |
followed the Israelite man into the tent, and drove it through both the Israelite man and the woman — through her belly. Then the plague on the Israelites was stopped, |
| 25:9 |
but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000twenty-four thousand. |
| 25:11 |
“Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back Mymy wrath from the Israelites because he was zealous among them with Mymy zeal, so that I did not destroy the Israelites in Mymy zeal. |
| 25:12 |
Therefore declare: I grant him Mymy covenant of peace. |
| 25:14 |
The name of the slain Israelite man, who was struck dead with the Midianite woman, was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite ancestral housefamily. |
| 25:15 |
The name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a tribal head of ana ancestralfamily house in Midian. |
| 25:16 |
The Lord told Moses:, |
| 26:2 |
“Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their ancestral housesfamilies of those 20twenty years old or more who can serve in Israel’s army.” |
| 26:3 |
So Moses and Eleazar the priest Eleazar said to them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, |
| 26:4 |
“Take a census of those 20twenty years old or more, as the Lord had commanded Moses and the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt.” |
| 26:33 |
Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons — only daughters. The names of Zelophehad’s daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. |
| 26:55 |
The land mustis to be divided by lot; they will receive an inheritance according to the names of their ancestral tribes. |
| 26:63 |
These were the ones registered by Moses and Eleazar the priest Eleazar when they registered the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. |
| 26:64 |
But among them there was not one of those who had been registered by Moses and Aaron the priest Aaron when they registered the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai. |
| 27:2 |
They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest Eleazar, the leaders, and the entire community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, |
| 27:14 |
When the community quarreled in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against Mymy command to showdemonstrate Mymy holiness in their sight at the waters.” Those were the watersWaters of Meribah-kadesh of Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin. |
| 27:16 |
“May the Lord, the God ofwho thegives spiritsbreath ofto all flesh, appoint a man over the community |
| 27:19 |
Have him stand before Eleazar the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and commission him in their sight. |
| 27:21 |
He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the Lord for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.” |
| 27:22 |
Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest Eleazar and the entire community, |
| 28:2 |
“Command the Israelites and say to them: Be sure to present to Meme at its appointed time Mymy offering and Mymy food as Mymy firefood offering, a pleasing aroma to Meme. |
| 28:3 |
And say to them: This is the firefood offering you are to present to the Lord: “Each day present two unblemished year-old male lambs as a regular burnt offering. |
| 28:6 |
It is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma, a firefood offering to the Lord. |
| 28:8 |
Offer the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a firefood offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. |
| 28:11 |

These are in addition to the monthly and regular burnt offerings with their prescribed grain offerings and drink offerings. They are a pleasing aroma, a firefood offering to the Lord. |

“YouOffer must offer these to the Lord at your appointed times in addition to your vow and freewill offerings, whether burnt, grain, drink, or fellowship offerings.” |
| 30:5 |
But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, none of her vows and none of the obligations she put herself under are binding. The Lord will absolverelease her because her father has prohibited her. |
| 30:8 |
But if her husband prohibits her when he hears about it, he will cancel her vow that is binding or the rash commitment she herself made, and the Lord will forgiverelease her. |
| 30:12 |
But if her husband cancels them on the day he hears about it, nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or her obligation, is binding. Her husband has canceled them, and the Lord will absolverelease her. |

| 31:6 |
Moses sent 1,000one thousand from each tribe to war. They went with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, in whose care were the holy objects and signal trumpets. |
| 31:8 |
Along with the others slain by them, they killed the Midianite kings — Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. |
| 31:9 |
The Israelites took the Midianite women and their childrendependents captive, and they plundered all their cattle, flocks, and property. |
| 31:11 |
and took away all the spoils of war and the captives, both manpeople and beastanimals. |
| 31:12 |
They brought the prisoners, animals, and spoils of war to Moses, Eleazar the priest Eleazar, and the Israelite community at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. |
| 31:13 |
Moses, Eleazar the priest Eleazar, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. |
| 31:17 |
So now, kill allevery male among the maledependents children and kill every woman who has hadgone sexualto relationsbed with a man, |
| 31:18 |
but keep alive for yourselves all the young females who have not hadgone sexualto relationsbed with a man. |
| 31:21 |
Then Eleazar the priest Eleazar said to the soldiers who had gone to battle, “This is the legal statute the Lord commanded Moses: |
| 31:22 |
OnlyThe the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead — |
| 31:23 |
everything that can withstand fire — you are to pass through fire, and it will be clean. It must still be purified with the purification water. Anything that cannot withstand fire, pass through the water. |
| 31:26 |
“You, Eleazar the priest Eleazar, and the family leadersheads of the community are to take a count of what was captured, manpeople and beastanimals. |
| 31:28 |
Set aside a tribute for the Lord from what belongs to the fighting men who went out to war: one out of every 500five humanshundred people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. |
| 31:29 |
Take the tribute from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest Eleazar as a contribution to the Lord. |
| 31:30 |
From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every 50fifty from the people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats, all the livestock, and give them to the Levites who perform the duties of the Lord’s tabernacle.” |
| 31:31 |
So Moses and Eleazar the priest Eleazar did as the Lord commanded Moses. |
| 31:35 |
and 32,000 people, all the females who had not hadgone sexualto relationsbed with a man. |
| 31:41 |
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest Eleazar as a contribution for the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. |
| 31:47 |
Moses took one out of every 50fifty, selected from the people and the livestock of the Israelites’ half. He gave them to the Levites who perform the duties of the Lord’s tabernacle, as the Lord had commanded him. |
| 31:50 |
So we have presented to the Lord an offering of the gold articles each man found — armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces — to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.” |
| 31:51 |
Moses and Eleazar the priest Eleazar received from them all the articles made out of gold. |
| 31:54 |
Moses and Eleazar the priest Eleazar received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord. |
| 32:2 |
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest Eleazar, and the leaders of the community and said:, |
| 32:5 |
They said, “If we have found favor inwith your sightyou, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don’t make us cross the Jordan.” |
| 32:8 |
That’s what your fathersancestors did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. |
| 32:10 |
So the Lord’s anger burned that day, and Hehe swore an oath: |
| 32:11 |
‘Because they did not followremain Meloyal completelyto me, none of the men 20twenty years old or more who came up from Egypt will see the land I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — |
| 32:12 |
none except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, because they did followremain loyal to the Lord completely.’ |
| 32:13 |
The Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and Hehe made them wander in the wilderness 40forty years until the whole generation that had done what was evil in the Lord’s sight was gone. |
| 32:14 |
And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your fathersancestors’ place adding even more to the Lord’s burning anger against Israel. |
| 32:15 |
If you turn back from following Himhim, Hehe will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will destroy all of them.” |
| 32:16 |
Then they approached him and said, “We want to build sheepfoldssheep pens here for our livestock and cities for our dependents. |
| 32:20 |
Moses replied to them, “If you do this — if you arm yourselves for battle before the Lord, |
| 32:21 |
and every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the Lord until Hehe has driven Hishis enemies from Hishis presence, |
| 32:22 |
and the land is subdued before the Lord — afterward you may return and be free from obligation to the Lord and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the Lord. |
| 32:24 |
Build cities for your dependents and foldspens for your flocks, but do what you have promised.” |
| 32:26 |
Our little childrendependents, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead, |
| 32:28 |
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leadersheads of the Israelite tribes. |
| 32:33 |
So Moses gave them — the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph — the kingdom of King Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of King Og king of Bashan, the land including its cities with the territories surrounding them. |
| 32:36 |
