[51] This is the numbering of the children of Israel, six hundred and one thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
[52] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [53] To these the land shall be divided, so that they may inherit according to the number of the names. [54] To the greater number thou shalt give the greater inheritance, and to the less number thou shalt give the less inheritance: to each one, as they have been numbered, shall their inheritance be given. [55] The land shall be divided to the names by lot, they shall inherit according to the tribes of their families. [56] Thou shalt divide their inheritance by lot between the many and the few. [57] And the sons of Levi according to their families; to Gedson, the family of the Gedsonites; to Caath, the family of the Caathites; to Merari, the family of the Merarites. [58] These are the families of the sons of Levi; the family of the Lobenites, the family of the Chebronites, the family of the Coreites, and the family of the Musites; and Caath begot Amram. [59] And the name of his wife was Jochabed, daughter of Levi, who bore these to Levi in Egypt, and she bore to Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Mariam their sister. [60] And to Aaron were born both Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar, and Ithamar. [61] And Nadab and Abiud died when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina. [62] And there were according to their numbering, twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because they have no inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
[63] And this is the numbering of Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in Araboth of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho. [64] And among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and Aaron, whom, even the children of Israel, they numbered in the wilderness of Sinai. [65] For the Lord said to them, They shall surely die in the wilderness; and there was not left even one of them, except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the son of Naue.
Chapter 27
[1] And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa; [2] and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying, [3] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father’s brethren. [4] And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
[5] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [6] The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father’s brethren, and thou shalt assign their father’s inheritance to them. [7] And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, [8] If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his daughter. [9] And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his brother. [10] And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his father’s brother. [11] And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses. [12] And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession. [13] And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was added to them in mount Or: [14] because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted and refused to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin. [15] And Moses said to the Lord, [16] Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation, [17] who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd. [18] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon him. [19] And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give him a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge concerning him before them. [20] And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel may hearken to him. [21] And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and 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 on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
Chapter 28
[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Charge the children of Israel, and thou shalt speak to them, saying, Ye shall observe to offer to me in my feasts my gifts, my presents, my burnt-offerings for a sweet-smelling savour. [3] And thou shalt say to them, These are the burnt-offerings, all that ye shall bring to the Lord; two lambs of a year old without blemish daily, for a whole-burnt offering perpetually. [4] Thou shalt offer one lamb in the morning, and thou shalt offer the second lamb towards evening.
[5] And thou shalt offer the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, with the fourth part of a hin. [6] It is a perpetual whole-burnt-offering, a sacrifice offered in the mount of Sina for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord. [7] And its drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin to each lamb; in the holy place shalt thou pour strong drink as a drink-offering to the Lord. [8] And the second lamb thou shalt offer toward evening; thou shalt offer it according to its meat-offering and according to its drink-offering for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. [9] And on the sabbath-day ye shall offer two lambs of a year old without blemish, and two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a drink-offering. [10] It is a whole-burnt-offering of the sabbaths on the sabbath days, besides the continued whole-burnt-offering, and its drink offering.
[11] And at the new moons ye shall bring a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, two calves of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs of a year old without blemish. [12] Three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for one calf, and two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil for one ram. [13] A tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for each lamb, as a meat-offering, a sweet-smelling savour, a burnt-offering to the Lord. [14] Their drink-offering shall be the half of a hin for one calf; and the third of a hin for one ram; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb: this is the whole-burnt-offering monthly throughout the months of the year.
[15] And he shall offer one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to the Lord; it shall be offered beside the continual whole-burnt-offering and its drink-offering.
[16] And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to the Lord. [17] And on the fifteenth day of this month is a feast; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. [18] And the first day shall be to you a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. [19] And ye shall bring whole-burnt-offerings, a sacrifice to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, seven lambs of a year old; they shall be to you without blemish. [20] And their meat-offering shall be fine flour mingled with oil; three tenth deals for one calf, and two tenth deals for one ram. [21] Thou shalt offer a tenth for each lamb, for the seven lambs. [22] And thou shalt offer one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. [23] Beside the perpetual whole-burnt-offering in the morning, which is a whole-burnt-sacrifice for a continuance, [24] these shall ye thus offer daily for seven days, a gift, a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord; beside the continual whole-burnt-offering, thou sh
alt offer its drink-offering. [25] And the seventh day shall be to you a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work in it.
[26] And on the day of the new corn, when ye shall offer a new sacrifice at the festival of weeks to the Lord, there shall be to you a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, [27] and ye shall bring whole-burnt-offerings for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord, two calves of the herd, one ram, seven lambs without blemish. [28] Their meat-offering shall be fine flour mingled with oil; there shall be three tenth deals for one calf, and two tenth deals for one ram. [29] A tenth for each lamb separately, for the seven lambs; and a kid of the goats, [30] for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you; beside the perpetual whole-burnt-offering: and [31] ye shall offer to me their meat-offering. They shall be to you unblemished, and ye shall offer their drink-offerings.

Chapter 30
[1] And Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses. [2] And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded. [3] Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth he shall do. [4] And if a woman shall vow a vow to the Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father’s house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations, wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand, [5] and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her. [6] But if her father straitly forbid her in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.
[7] But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, in respect of the obligations which she has contracted upon her soul; [8] and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand. [9] But if her husband should straitly forbid her in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
[10] And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatsoever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her. [11] And if her vow be made in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath, [12] and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and all the obligations which she contracted against her soul
, shall stand against her. [13] But if her husband should utterly cancel the vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations contracted upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has cancelled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless. [14] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it. [15] But if he be wholly silent at her from day to day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to her the obligations which she has bound upon herself, because he held his peace at her in the day in which he heard her. [16] And if her husband should in any wise cancel them after the day in which he heard them, then he shall bear his iniquity. [17] These are the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and daughter in her youth in the house of her father.
Chapter 31
[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people. [3] And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord. [4] Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array. [5] And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of each tribe, twelve thousands; these were armed for war. [6] And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets were in their hands.
