10,29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel 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 shalt be to us instead of eyes. 10,32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.' 10,33 And they set forward from the mount of the LORD three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them. 10,34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp. {S}
10,35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: 'Rise up, O 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 ten thousands of the families of Israel.' {P}

11,1 And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 11,2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated. 11,3 And the name of that place was called 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 on their part, and said: 'Would that we were given flesh to eat! 11,5 We remember the fish, which we were wont to eat in Egypt for nought; 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; we have nought save this manna to look to.'--
11,7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium. 11,8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of a cake baked with oil. 11,9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.--
11,10 And Moses heard the people weeping, family by family, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 11,11 And Moses said unto the LORD: 'Wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with 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 brought them forth, that Thou shouldest say unto me: Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which Thou didst swear unto their fathers? 11,13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they trouble me with their weeping, saying: Give us flesh, that we may eat. 11,14 I am not able to bear all this people myself 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 look upon my
wretchedness.' {P}

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 tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee. 11,17 And I will come down and speak 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: Would that we were given 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 a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected the
LORD who is among you, and have troubled Him with weeping, saying: Why, now, came we forth out of Egypt?' 11,21 And Moses said: 'The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and yet Thou hast said: I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month! 11,22 If flocks and herds be slain for them, will they suffice them? or if all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, will they suffice them?' {P}

11,23 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see 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 he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent. 11,25 And the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. 11,26 But there remained two 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 recorded, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 11,27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.' 11,28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from
his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.' 11,29 And Moses said unto him: 'Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His spirit upon them!'

==============================================================================================

11,30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 11,31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought across quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. 11,32 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 11,33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 11,34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 11,35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth. {P}

12,1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. 12,2 And they said: 'Hath the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? hath He not spoken also with us?' And the LORD heard it.-- 12,3 Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.-- {S} 12,4 And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came out. 12,5 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, 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 do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 12,7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 12,8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the
similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?' 12,9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed. 12,10 And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous. 12,11 And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12,12 Let her not, I pray, 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.' {P}

12,14 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.' 12,15 And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. 12,16 And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. {P}

Numbers 4,34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 35 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of meeting. 36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, of all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. {S} 38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, 39 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of meeting, 40 even those that were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six

Numbers
3,1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai. 3,2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3,3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 3,4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father. {P}

3,5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 3,6 'Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 3,7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3,8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 3,9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given unto him from the children of Israel. 3,10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, that they may keep their priesthood; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.' {P}

3,11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 3,12 'And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine; 3,13 for all the first-born are Mine: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto Me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast, Mine they shall be: I am the LORD.' {P}

<b>Leviticus

27,1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 27,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the LORD, according to thy valuation, 27,3 then thy valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 27,4 And if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirty shekels. 27,5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 27,6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 27,7 And if it be from sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 27,8 But if he be too poor
for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him. {S} 27,9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. 27,10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. 27,11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before the priest. 27,12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 27,13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy valuation. 27,14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or
bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand. 27,15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his. 27,16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 27,17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation it shall stand. 27,18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy valuation. 27,19 And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 27,20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have
sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 27,21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. 27,22 And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession; 27,23 then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. 27,24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. 27,25 And all thy valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 27,26 Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which is born as a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S. 27,27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he
shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy valuation. 27,28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. 27,29 None devoted, that may be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. 27,30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy unto the LORD. 27,31 And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof. 27,32 And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. 27,33 He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all,
then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 27,34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. {P}

Leviticus 26,10 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old from before the new. 26,11 And I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. 26,12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be My people. 26,13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. {P}

26,14 But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; 26,15 and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant; 26,16 I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 26,17 And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies; they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 26,18 And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 26,19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. 26,20 And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees
of the land yield their fruit. 26,21 And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 26,22 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. 26,23 And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto Me; 26,24 then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. 26,25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26,26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not
be satisfied. {S} 26,27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me; 26,28 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 26,29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 26,30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you. 26,31 And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 26,32 And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 26,33 And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. 26,34 Then shall the land be paid her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are
in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and repay her sabbaths. 26,35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 26,36 And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 26,37 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 26,38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 26,39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 26,40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their
treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me. 26,41 I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity; 26,42 then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 26,43 For the land shall lie forsaken without them, and shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall be paid the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes. 26,44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God. 26,45 But I will for
their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 26,46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. {P}

Leviticus

25,39 And if thy brother be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant. 25,40 As a hired servant, and as a settler, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee. 25,41 Then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 25,42 For they are My servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen. 25,43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 25,44 And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 25,45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they may be your possession. 25,46
And ye may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession: of them may ye take your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigour. {S}

25,47 And if a stranger who is a settler with thee be waxen rich, and thy brother be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger who is a settler with thee, or to the offshoot of a stranger's family, 25,48 after that he is sold he may be redeemed; one of his brethren may redeem him; 25,49 or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxen rich, he may redeem himself. 25,50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him. 25,51 If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 25,52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according
unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption. 25,53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him; he shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 25,54 And if he be not redeemed by any of these means, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him. 25,55 For unto Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 26,1 Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am the LORD your God. 26,2 Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD. {P}

26,3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; 26,4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 26,5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread until ye have enough, and dwell in your land safely. 26,6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 26,7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 26,8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 26,9 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish My covenant with you.

Jesus Today

Leviticus 25,19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat until ye have enough, and dwell therein in safety. 25,20 And if ye shall say: 'What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase'; 25,21 then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth produce for the three years. 25,22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; until the ninth year, until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old store. 25,23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and settlers with Me. 25,24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. {S} 25,25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold. 25,26 And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find
sufficient means to redeem it; 25,27 then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession. 25,28 But if he have not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. {S}
