Numbers 21
1 ķAnd when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that
Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took
some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver
this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the
name of the place Hormah.
4 ķAnd they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the
land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the
way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought
us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is
there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people;
and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have
spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away
the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a
pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh
upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to
pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass,
he lived.
10 ķAnd the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness
which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in
the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the
border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the
Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and
lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake
unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the
direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went
to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of
Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 ķAnd Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the
vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by
the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from
Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the
children of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the
Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought
against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even
unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of
Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it
hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his
sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the
Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid
them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and
drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan
went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy
hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst
unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none
left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Numbers 22
1 ķAnd the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on
this side Jordan by Jericho.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was
distressed because of the children of Israel.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all
that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak
the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is
by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying,
Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of
the earth, and they abide over against me:
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty
for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may
drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and
he whom thou cursest is cursed.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of
divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the
words of Balak.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again,
as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent
unto me, saying,
11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the
earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them,
and drive them out.
12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse
the people: for they are blessed.
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get
you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam
refuseth to come with us.
15 ķAnd Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor,
Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou
sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give
me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my
God, to do less or more.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know
what the LORD will say unto me more.
20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call
thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee,
that shalt thou do.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab.
22 ķAnd God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood
in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, 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.
24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on
this side, and a wall on that side.
25 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.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where
was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and
Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
36 ķAnd when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a
city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee?
wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to
honour?
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.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that
were with him.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up
into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the
people.
Numbers 23
1 ķAnd Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here
seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every
altar a bullock and a ram.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will
tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I
have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and
thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and
all the princes of Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me
from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and
come, defy Israel.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the
LORD hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo,
the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse
mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD
hath put in my mouth?
13 ķAnd Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from
whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and
shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built
seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the
LORD yonder.
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto
Balak, and say thus.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the
princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto
me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he
not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I
cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in
Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination
against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,
What hath God wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a
young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood
of the slain.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that
the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another
place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from
thence.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here
seven bullocks and seven rams.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every
altar.
Numbers 24
1 ķAnd when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as
at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the
wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents
according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and
the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the
trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the
waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many
waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be
exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones,
and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up?
Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 ķAnd Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands
together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and,
behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great
honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou
sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond
the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what
the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise
thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 ķAnd he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and
the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the
most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but
having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall
come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall
smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his
enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him
that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was
the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is
thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away
captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth
this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and
shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went
his way.
Numbers 25
1 ķAnd Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people
did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled
against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them
up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be
turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were
joined unto Baalpeor.
6 ķAnd, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren
a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he
rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was
stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my
wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among
them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the
Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among
the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter
of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 ķAnd the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the
matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian,
their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
Numbers 26
1 ķAnd it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty
years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go
to war in Israel.
3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by
Jordan near Jericho, saying,
4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD
commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of
Egypt.

less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those
that were numbered of him.

family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her
mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and
Miriam their sister.
60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children
of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of
Israel.
63 ķThese are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who
numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest
numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And
there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of Nun.
Numbers 27
1 ķThen came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of
Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that
gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died
in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because
he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our
father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause
the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and
have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father's brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it
shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
12 ķAnd the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see
the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as
Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of
the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the
water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 ķAnd Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may
lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be
not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom
is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and
give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation
of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him
after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and
at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with
him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded
by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 28
1 ķAnd the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread
for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to
offer unto me in their due season.
3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall
offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a
continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou
offer at even;
5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the
fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a
sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one
lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the
LORD for a drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9 ķAnd on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without
spot;
12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one
bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for
one ram;
13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto
one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD.
14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and
the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb:
this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered,
beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
16 ķAnd in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.
17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:
19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they
shall be unto you without blemish:
20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals
shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven
lambs:
22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a
continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat
of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be
offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work.
26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto
the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work:
27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two
young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one
bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
Numbers 29
1 ķAnd in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an
holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the
trumpets unto you.
2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one
young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you:
6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily
burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto
their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation;
and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:
8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one
young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto
you without blemish:
9 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
11 One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of
atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and
their drink offerings.
12 ķAnd on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the
LORD seven days:
13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of
the first year; they shall be without blemish:
14 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the

15 And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
16 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt

17 And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams,
fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
18 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the

19 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first
year without blemish;
21 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the

29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the

and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat

40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
Numbers 30
1 ķAnd Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a
bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
3 ķIf a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in
her father's house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul,
and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her
vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the
LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard
it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall
stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall
make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have
bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an
oath;
11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not:
then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall
stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then
whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond
of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD
shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may
establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he
establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth
them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then
he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his
wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her
father's house.
