9:1 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,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed
 season.
9:3 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.
9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the
 passover.
9:5 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.
9:6 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:
9:7 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?
9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD
 will command concerning you.
9:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10 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.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it,
 and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12 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.
9:13 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.
9:14 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.
9:15 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.
9:16 So it was alway:  the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of
 fire by night.
9:17 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.
9:18 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.
9:19 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.
9:20 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.
9:21 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.
9:22 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.
9:23 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.

10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2 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.
10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
 themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10:4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which
 are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall
 go forward.
10:6 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.
10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow,
 but ye shall not sound an alarm.
10:8 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.
10:9 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 the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 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 God:  I am the LORD your God.
10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the
 second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the
 testimony.
10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness
 of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the
 LORD by the hand of Moses.
10:14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of
 Judah according to their armies:  and over his host was Nahshon the son
 of Amminadab.
10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was
 Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab
 the son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the
 sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their
 armies:  and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph
 the son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:  and the
 other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
 according to their armies:  and over his host was Elishama the son of
 Ammihud.
10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
 Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
 Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward,
 which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts:  and over
 his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel
 the son of Ocran.
10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira
 the son of Enan.
10:28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to
 their armies, when they set forward.
10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'
 father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I
 will give it you:  come thou with us, and we will do thee good:  for the
 LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own
 land, and to my kindred.
10:31 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.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what
 goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey:  and
 the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days'
 journey, to search out a resting place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out
 of the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise
 up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee
 flee before thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands
 of Israel.

11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD:  and the LORD
 heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among
 them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD,
 the fire was quenched.
11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah:  because the fire of the
 LORD burnt among them.
11:4 And the mixed 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?
11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
 and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
11:6 But now our soul is dried away:  there is nothing at all, beside
 this manna, before our eyes.
11:7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the
 colour of bdellium.
11:8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in
 mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of
 it:  and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon
 it.
11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man
 in the door of his tent:  and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly;
 Moses also was displeased.
11:11 And Moses said unto the LORD, 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?
11:12 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?
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?  for they
 weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy
 for me.
11:15 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 my wretchedness.
11:16 And the LORD 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.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there:  and I will take of the
 spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall
 bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself
 alone.
11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow,
 and ye shall eat flesh:  for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying,
 Who shall give us flesh to eat?  for it was well with us in Egypt: 
 therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten
 days, nor twenty days;
11:20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it
 be loathsome unto you:  because that ye have despised the LORD which is
 among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of
 Egypt?
11:21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred
 thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may
 eat a whole month.
11:22 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?
11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short?  thou
 shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and
 gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round
 about the tabernacle.
11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
 spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders:  and it
 came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied,
 and did not cease.
11:26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one
 was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad:  and the spirit rested upon
 them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the
 tabernacle:  and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad
 do prophesy in the camp.
11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young
 men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake?  would God that all
 the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit
 upon them!
11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the
 sea, and let them 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 high upon the face of the earth.
11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all
 the next day, and they gathered the quails:  he that gathered least
 gathered ten homers:  and they spread them all abroad for themselves
 round about the camp.
11:33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,
 the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote
 the people with a very great plague.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:  because there
 they buried the people that lusted.
11:35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and
 abode at Hazeroth.

12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
 whom he had married:  for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?  hath he not
 spoken also by us?  And the LORD heard it.
12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon
 the face of the earth. )
12:4 And the LORD 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.
12:5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the
 door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam:  and they both came
 forth.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words:  If there be a prophet among you, I
 the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto
 him in a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark
 speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:  wherefore then
 were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
 became leprous, white as snow:  and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and,
 behold, she was leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the
 sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
 cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
 thee.
12:14 And the LORD 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 again.
12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days:  and the people
 journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
 wilderness of Paran.

13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 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.
13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness
 of Paran:  all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
13:4 And these were their names:  of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son
 of Zaccur.
13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the
 son of Susi.
13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land.
  And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them,
 Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
13:18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein,
 whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
13:19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or
 bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in
 strong holds;
13:20 And what the land is, whether it be 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 was the time of the firstripe grapes.
13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto
 Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
 Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were.  (Now Hebron was built
 seven years before Zoan in Egypt. )
13:23 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 they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of
 grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
13:26 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.
13:27 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.
13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the
 cities are walled, and very great:  and moreover we saw the children of
 Anak there.
13:29 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.
13:30 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.
13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up
 against the people; for they are stronger than we.
13:32 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, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all
 the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the
 giants:  and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in
 their sight.

14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the
 people wept that night.
14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against
 Aaron:  and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had
 died in the land of Egypt!  or would God we had died in this wilderness!
14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD 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?
14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return
 into Egypt.
14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the
 congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were
 of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying,
 The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good
 land.
14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and
 give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the
 land; for they are bread for us:  their defence is departed from them,
 and the LORD is with us:  fear them not.
14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.  And the glory
 of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the
 children of Israel.
14:11 And the LORD 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?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will
 make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for
 thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land:  for they
 have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen
 face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou
 goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of
 fire by night.
14:15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the
 nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
14:16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which
 he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according
 as thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity
 and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the
 iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
 generation.
14:19 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.
14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
14:21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the
 glory of the LORD.
14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, 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;
14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
 neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
14:24 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.
14:25 (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.
14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur
 against me?  I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which
 they murmur against me.
14:28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken
 in mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29 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,
14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware
 to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the
 son of Nun.
14:31 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.
14:32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
 your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even
 forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even
 forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
14:35 I the LORD 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.
14:36 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,
14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died
 by the plague before the LORD.
14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which
 were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel:  and the
 people mourned greatly.
14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of
 the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which
 the LORD hath promised:  for we have sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the
 LORD?  but it shall not prosper.
14:42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten
 before your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye
 shall fall by the sword:  because ye are turned away from the LORD,
 therefore the LORD will not be with you.
14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top:  nevertheless the ark of
 the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that
 hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2 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,
15:3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, 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 the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat
 offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin
 of oil.
15:5 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.
15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals
 of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of
 wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a
 sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
15:9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals
 of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for
 an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb,
 or a kid.
15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every
 one according to their number.
15:13 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 the
 LORD.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in
 your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet
 savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15:15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also
 for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your
 generations:  as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
 sojourneth with you.
15:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
 into the land whither I bring you,
15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall
 offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
 offering:  as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye
 heave it.
15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave
 offering in your generations.
15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which
 the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23 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;
15:24 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.
15:25 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:
15:26 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.
15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat
 of the first year for a sin offering.
15:28 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.
15:29 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.
15:30 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.
15:31 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.
15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a
 man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
 Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be
 done to him.
15:35 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.
15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him
 with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
15:37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38 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:
15:39 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:
15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto
 your God.
15:41 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.

16:1 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 men:
16:2 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:
16:3 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?
16:4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to
 morrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause
 him to come near unto him:  even him whom he hath chosen will he cause
 to come near unto him.
16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to
 morrow:  and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he
 shall be holy:  ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath
 separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself
 to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the
 congregation to minister unto them?
16:10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons
 of Levi with thee:  and seek ye the priesthood also?
16:11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered
 together against the LORD:  and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against
 him?
16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab:  which
 said, We will not come up:
16:13 Is it 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?
16:14 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.
16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou
 their offering:  I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt
 one of them.
16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the
 LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye
 before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou
 also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
16:18 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.
16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of
 the tabernacle of the congregation:  and the glory of the LORD appeared
 unto all the congregation.
16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume
 them in a moment.
16:22 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?
16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the
 tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of
 Israel followed him.
16:26 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.
16:27 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.
16:28 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.
16:29 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.
16:30 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.
16:31 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:
16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
 houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their
 goods.
16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the
 pit, and the earth closed upon them:  and they perished from among the
 congregation.
16:34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: 
 for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred
 and fifty men that offered incense.
16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:37 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.
16:38 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.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that
 were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of
 the altar:
16:40 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.
16:41 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.
16:42 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.
16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in
 a moment.  And they fell upon their faces.
16:46 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.
16:47 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.
16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was
 stayed.
16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven
 hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation:  and the plague was stayed.

17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod
 according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according
 to the house of their fathers twelve rods:  write thou every man's name
 upon his rod.
17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi:  for one rod
 shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before
 the testimony, where I will meet with you.
17:5 And it shall come to pass, that 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.
17:6 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, even twelve rods:  and the rod of Aaron was among
 their rods.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of
 witness.
17:8 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.
17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the
 children of Israel:  and they looked, and took every man his rod.
17:10 And the LORD 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.
17:11 And Moses did so:  as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die,
 we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall
 die:  shall we be consumed with dying?
