And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
The LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 2 |
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: |
"Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has an infectious skin disease or a discharge of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean because of a dead body. |
|
| 3 |
Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. |
Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them." |
|
| 4 |
And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. |
The Israelites did this; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses. |
|

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
The LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 6 |
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; |
"Say to the Israelites: `When a man or woman wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the LORD, that person is guilty |
|
| 7 |
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. |
and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution for his wrong, add one fifth to it and give it all to the person he has wronged. |
|
| 8 |
But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. |
But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest, along with the ram with which atonement is made for him. |
|
| 9 |
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. |
All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him. |
|
| 10 |
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. |
Each man's sacred gifts are his own, but what he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.'" |

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
Then the LORD said to Moses, |

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, |
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him |
|
| 13 |
And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; |
by sleeping with another man, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), |
|
| 14 |
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: |
and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure--or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure-- |
|
| 15 |
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. |
then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to draw attention to guilt. |
|
| 16 |
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: |
"`The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the LORD. |
|
| 17 |
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 it into the water: |
Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. |
|
| 18 |
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: |
After the priest has had the woman stand before the LORD, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. |
|
| 19 |
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 with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: |
Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. |
|
| 20 |
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: |
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have defiled yourself by sleeping with a man other than your husband"-- |
|
| 21 |
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; |
here the priest is to put the woman under this curse of the oath--"may the LORD cause your people to curse and denounce you when he causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell. |
|
| 22 |
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. |
May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells and your thigh wastes away. " "`Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it." |
|
| 23 |
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: |
"`The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. |
|
| 24 |
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, and become bitter. |
He shall have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water will enter her and cause bitter suffering. |
|
| 25 |
Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar: |
The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD and bring it to the altar. |
|
| 26 |
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. |
The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. |
|
| 27 |
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. |
If she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then when she is made to drink the water that brings a curse, it will go into her and cause bitter suffering; her abdomen will swell and her thigh waste away, and she will become accursed among her people. |
|
| 28 |
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. |
If, however, the woman has not defiled herself and is free from impurity, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. |
|
| 29 |
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; |
"`This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and defiles herself while married to her husband, |
|
| 30 |
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. |
or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the LORD and is to apply this entire law to her. |
|
| 31 |
Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity. |
The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.'" |

Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick. |
"Speak to Aaron and say to him, `When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.'" |
|
| 3 |
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
| 4 |
And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick. |
This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold--from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern the LORD had shown Moses. |
|
| 5 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
The LORD said to Moses: |
|
| 6 |
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. |
"Take the Levites from among the other Israelites and make them ceremonially clean. |
|
| 7 |
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 so make themselves clean. |
To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing on them; then have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves. |
|
| 8 |
Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. |
Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil; then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering. |
|
| 9 |
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: |
Bring the Levites to the front of the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole Israelite community. |
|
| 10 |
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: |
You are to bring the Levites before the LORD, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them. |
|
| 11 |
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD. |
Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the LORD. |
|
| 12 |
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites. |
"After the Levites lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, use the one for a sin offering to the LORD and the other for a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites. |
|
| 13 |
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD. |
Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering to the LORD. |
|
| 14 |
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. |
In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine. |
|
| 15 |
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 for an offering. |
"After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering, they are to come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting. |
|
| 16 |
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me. |
They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman. |
|
| 17 |
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. |
Every firstborn male in Israel, whether man or animal, is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself. |
|
| 18 |
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. |
And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel. |
|
| 19 |
And I have given the Levites as 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. |
Of all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons to do the work at the Tent of Meeting on behalf of the Israelites and to make atonement for them so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary." |
|
| 20 |
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them. |
Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
| 21 |
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them. |
The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD and made atonement for them to purify them. |
|
| 22 |
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them. |
After that, the Levites came to do their work at the Tent of Meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
| 23 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
The LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 24 |
This is it that belongeth unto 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: |
"This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the Tent of Meeting, |
|
| 25 |
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more: |
but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. |
|
| 26 |
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. |
They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites." |

And the LORD 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, |
The LORD spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt. He said, |
|
| 2 |
Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. |
"Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time. |
|
| 3 |
In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, 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. |
Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations." |
|
| 4 |
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. |
So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover, |
|
| 5 |
And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. |
and they did so in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
| 6 |
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: |
But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day |
|
| 7 |
And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel? |
and said to Moses, "We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the LORD's offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?" |
|
| 8 |
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. |
Moses answered them, "Wait until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you." |
|
| 9 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
Then the LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 10 |
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 be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD. |
"Tell the Israelites: `When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they may still celebrate the LORD's Passover. |
|
| 11 |
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. |
They are to celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. |
|
| 12 |
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. |
They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations. |
|
| 13 |
But the man that is 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 the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. |
But if a man who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not present the LORD's offering at the appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin. |
|
| 14 |
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; 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. |
"`An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover must do so in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for the alien and the native-born.'" |
|

And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. |
On the day the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire. |
|
| 16 |
So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. |
That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire. |
|
| 17 |
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. |
Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped. |
|
| 18 |
At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. |
At the LORD's command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. |
|
| 19 |
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not. |
When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the LORD's order and did not set out. |
|
| 20 |
And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed. |
Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the LORD's command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. |
|
| 21 |
And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. |
Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. |
|
| 22 |
Or whether it were 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. |
Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. |
|
| 23 |
At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. |
At the LORD's command they encamped, and at the LORD's command they set out. They obeyed the LORD's order, in accordance with his command through Moses. |

Present a cake from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. |
|
| 21 |
Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations. |
Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD from the first of your ground meal. |
|
| 22 |
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, |
"`Now if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses-- |
|
| 23 |
Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; |
any of the LORD's commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come-- |
|
| 24 |
Then it shall be, if ought 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 the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. |
and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering. |
|
| 25 |
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: |
The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have brought to the LORD for their wrong an offering made by fire and a sin offering. |
|
| 26 |
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. |
The whole Israelite community and the aliens living among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong. |
|
| 27 |
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. |
"`But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. |
|
| 28 |
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. |
The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. |
|
| 29 |
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. |
One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien. |
|
| 30 |
But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
"`But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. |
|
| 31 |
Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. |
Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.'" |
|
| 32 |
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. |
While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. |
|
| 33 |
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. |
Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, |
|
| 34 |
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. |
and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. |
|
| 35 |
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. |
Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." |
|
| 36 |
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
|
| 37 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
The LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 38 |
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: |
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. |
|
| 39 |
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them ; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: |
You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. |
|
| 40 |
That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. |
Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. |
|
| 41 |
I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God. |
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.'" |

|
| 3 |
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? |
They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the LORD's assembly?" |
|

When Moses heard this, he fell facedown. |

|
| 21 |
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. |
"Separate yourselves from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once." |
|
| 22 |
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? |

He warned the assembly, "Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins." |
|

|
| 28 |
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. |
Then Moses said, "This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea: |
|
| 29 |
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me. |
If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me. |
|
| 30 |
But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. |
But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt." |
|
| 31 |
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: |
As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart |

The LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 37 |
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. |
"Tell Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, to take the censers out of the smoldering remains and scatter the coals some distance away, for the censers are holy-- |
|
| 38 |
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. |
the censers of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives. Hammer the censers into sheets to overlay the altar, for they were presented before the LORD and have become holy. Let them be a sign to the Israelites." |
|
| 39 |
And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: |
So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, |
|
| 40 |
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses. |
as the LORD directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before the LORD, or he would become like Korah and his followers. |
|
| 41 |
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 the LORD. |
The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. "You have killed the LORD's people," they said. |
|
| 42 |
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 glory of the LORD appeared. |
But when the assembly gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the Tent of Meeting, suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared. |
|
| 43 |
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. |
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting, |
|
| 44 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
and the LORD said to Moses, |
|
| 45 |
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. |
"Get away from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once." And they fell facedown. |
|
| 46 |
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 the LORD; the plague is begun. |
Then Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has started." |
|
| 47 |
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. |
So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. |
|
| 48 |
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. |
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. |
|
| 49 |
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. |
But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah. |
|
| 50 |
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed. |
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped. |

|
| 29 |
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it. |
You must present as the LORD's portion the best and holiest part of everything given to you.' |

But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. |
|
| 23 |
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD 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. |

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. |
When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again. |

|
| 28 |
And the LORD 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? |
Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?" |
|
| 29 |
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. |
Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now." |
|
| 30 |
And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay. |
The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?" "No," he said. |
|
| 31 |
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. |
Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown. |
|
| 32 |
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: |
The angel of the LORD asked him, "Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. |
|
| 33 |
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. |
The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared her." |
|
| 34 |
And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, 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. |
Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back." |
|
| 35 |
And the angel of the LORD 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. |

Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why didn't you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you?" |
|
| 38 |
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 God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. |
"Well, I have come to you now," Balaam replied. "But can I say just anything? I must speak only what God puts in my mouth." |

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. |

Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. |
"`Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. He must surely be put to death. |
|
| 32 |
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. |
"`Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow him to go back and live on his own land before the death of the high priest. |
|
| 33 |
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: 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. |
"`Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. |
|
| 34 |
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel. |
Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.'" |
