Numbers 20:4

Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?

Numbers 20:5

Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.

Numbers 20:6

Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.

Numbers 20:7

And the Lord said to Moses,

Numbers 20:8

Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

Numbers 20:9

And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as he gave him orders.

Numbers 20:10

Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord; are we to get water for you out of the rock?



Numbers 20:11

And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

Numbers 20:12

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them.

Numbers 20:13

These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel went against the Lord, and they saw that he was holy among them.

Numbers 20:14

Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;

Numbers 20:15

How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time; and the egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:

Numbers 20:16

And the Lord gave ear to the voice of our cry, and sent an angel and took us out of Egypt: and now we are in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your land;

Numbers 20:17

Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.



Numbers 20:18

And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.

Numbers 20:19

And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.

Numbers 20:20

But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.

Numbers 20:21

So Edom would not let Israel go through his land; and Israel went in another direction.

Numbers 20:22

And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

Numbers 20:23

And at Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

Numbers 20:24

Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.



Numbers 20:25

So take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, up into Mount Hor;

Numbers 20:26

And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.

Numbers 20:27

So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.

Numbers 20:28

And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son; and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and eleazar came down from the mountain.

Numbers 20:29

And when the people saw that Aaron was dead, all the children of Israel gave themselves up to weeping for him for thirty days.

Numbers 21:1

And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.

Numbers 21:2

Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.



Numbers 21:3

And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

Numbers 21:4

Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

Numbers 21:5

And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

Numbers 21:6

Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

Numbers 21:7

Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

Numbers 21:8

And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.

Numbers 21:9

So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.



Numbers 21:10

Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.

Numbers 21:11

And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.

Numbers 21:12

And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.

Numbers 21:13

From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:

Numbers 21:14

As it says in the book of the wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

Numbers 21:15

The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.

Numbers 21:16

From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.

Numbers 21:17

Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

Numbers 21:18

The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:

Numbers 21:19

And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

Numbers 21:20

And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.

Numbers 21:21

And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

Numbers 21:22

Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

Numbers 21:23

And sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.

Numbers 21:24

But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

Numbers 21:25

And Israel took all their towns, living in heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

Numbers 21:26

For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.

Numbers 21:27

So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:

Numbers 21:28

For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.

Numbers 21:29

Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.

Numbers 21:30

They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.

Numbers 21:31

So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.

Numbers 21:32

And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

Numbers 21:33

Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.

Numbers 21:34

And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.

Numbers 21:35

So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

Numbers 22:1

Then the children of Israel, journeying on, put up their tents in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan at Jericho.

Numbers 22:2

Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites.

Numbers 22:3

And in Moab there was great fear of the people, because their numbers were so great: and the feeling of Moab was bitter against the children of Israel.

Numbers 22:4

Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

Numbers 22:5

So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

Numbers 22:6

Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed.

Numbers 22:7

So the responsible men of Moab and midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

Numbers 22:8

And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night.

Numbers 22:9

And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?

Numbers 22:10

And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying,

Numbers 22:11

See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land.

Numbers 22:12

And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing.

Numbers 22:13

In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you.

Numbers 22:14

So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

Numbers 22:15

So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.

Numbers 22:16

And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

Numbers 22:17

For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people.

Numbers 22:18

But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.

Numbers 22:19

So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me.

Numbers 22:20

And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

Numbers 22:21

So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

Numbers 22:22

But God was moved to wrath because he went: and the angel of the Lord took up a position in the road to keep him from his purpose. Now he was seated on his ass, and his two servants were with him.

Numbers 22:23

And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road.

Numbers 22:24

Then the angel of the Lord took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that.

Numbers 22:25

And the ass saw the angel of the Lord, and went near the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against the wall; and he gave her more blows.

Numbers 22:26

Then the angel of the Lord went further, stopping in a narrow place where there was no room for turning to the right or to the left.

Numbers 22:27

And the ass saw the angel of the Lord and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick.

Numbers 22:28

Then the Lord gave the ass the power of talking, and opening her mouth she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have given me blows these three times?

Numbers 22:29

And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death.

Numbers 22:30

And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass upon which you have gone all your life till this day? and have I ever done this to you before? And he said, No.

Numbers 22:31

Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth.

Numbers 22:32

And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why have you given your ass blows these three times? See, I have come out against you to keep you back, because your purpose is not pleasing to me.

Numbers 22:33

And the ass saw me, turning to one side from me three times: if she had not gone to one side, I would certainly have put you to death and kept her safe.

Numbers 22:34

And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again.

Numbers 22:35

And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

Numbers 22:36

Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him.

Numbers 22:37

And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

Numbers 22:38

Then Balaam said to Balak, Now I have come to you; but have I power to say anything? Only what God puts into my mouth may I say.

Numbers 22:39

And Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-huzoth.

Numbers 22:40

And Balak made offerings of oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and the chiefs who were with him.

Numbers 22:41

And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.

Numbers 23:1

And Balaam said to Balak, Make me here seven altars and get ready seven oxen and seven male sheep.

Numbers 23:2

And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam made an offering on every altar of an ox and a male sheep.

Numbers 23:3

Then Balaam said to Balak, Take your place by your burned offering, and I will go and see if the Lord comes to me: and I will give you word of whatever he says to me. And he went to an open place on a hill.

Numbers 23:4

And God came to Balaam, and Balaam said to him, I have made ready seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

Numbers 23:5

And the Lord put words in Balaam's mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

Numbers 23:6

So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

Numbers 23:7

And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

Numbers 23:8

How may I put curses on him who is not cursed by God? how may I be angry with him with whom the Lord is not angry?

Numbers 23:9

From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.

Numbers 23:10

Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!

Numbers 23:11

Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

Numbers 23:12

And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?

Numbers 23:13

And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

Numbers 23:14

So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

Numbers 23:15

Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.

Numbers 23:16

And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

Numbers 23:17

So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

Numbers 23:18

And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:

Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?

Numbers 23:20

See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.

Numbers 23:21

He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.

Numbers 23:22

It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.

Numbers 23:23

No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!

Numbers 23:24

See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.

Numbers 23:25

Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.

Numbers 23:26

But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?

Numbers 23:27

Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

Numbers 23:28

So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.

Numbers 23:29

And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.

Numbers 23:30

And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

Numbers 24:1

Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

Numbers 24:2

And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.

Numbers 24:3

And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

Numbers 24:4

He says, whose ears are open to the words of God, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down, but having his eyes open:

Numbers 24:5

How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your houses, O Israel!

Numbers 24:6

They are stretched out like valleys, like gardens by the riverside, like flowering trees planted by the Lord, like cedar-trees by the waters.

Numbers 24:7

Peoples will be in fear before his strength, his arm will be on great nations: his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom made great in honour.

Numbers 24:8

It is God who has taken him out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox; the nations warring against him will be his food, their bones will be broken, they will be wounded with his arrows.

Numbers 24:9

He took his sleep stretched out like a lion, and like a she-lion: by whom will his rest be broken? May a blessing be on everyone who gives you blessing, and a curse on everyone by whom you are cursed.

Numbers 24:10

Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.

Numbers 24:11

Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

Numbers 24:12

Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,

Numbers 24:13

Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?

Numbers 24:14

So now I will go back to my people: but first let me make clear to you what this people will do to your people in days to come.

Numbers 24:15

Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

Numbers 24:16

He says, whose ear is open to the words of God, who has knowledge of the Most High, who has seen the vision of the ruler of all, falling down and having his eyes open:

Numbers 24:17

I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

Numbers 24:18

Edom will be his heritage, and he will put an end to the last of the people of Seir.

Numbers 24:19

And Israel will go on in strength, and Jacob will have rule over his haters.

Numbers 24:20

Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever.

Numbers 24:21

And looking on the Kenites he went on with his story and said, strong is your living-place, and your secret place is safe in the rock.

Numbers 24:22

But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.

Numbers 24:23

Then he went on with his story and said, But who may keep his life when God does this?

Numbers 24:24

But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.

Numbers 24:25

Then Balaam got up and went back to his place: and Balak went away.

Numbers 25:1

Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

Numbers 25:2

For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour to their gods.

Numbers 25:3

So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

Numbers 25:4

Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.

Numbers 25:5

So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the baal of Peor.

Numbers 25:6

Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

Numbers 25:7

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

Numbers 25:8

And went after the man of Israel into the tent, driving the spear through the two of them, through the man of Israel and through the stomach of the woman. So the disease was stopped among the children of Israel.

Numbers 25:9

But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.

Numbers 25:10

And the Lord said to Moses,

Numbers 25:11

Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

Numbers 25:12

So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

Numbers 25:13

And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

Numbers 25:14

Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

Numbers 25:15

And the woman of Midian who was put to death was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was the head of a family in Midian.

Numbers 25:16

Then the Lord said to Moses,

Numbers 25:17

Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;

Numbers 25:18

For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

Numbers 26:1

Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

Numbers 26:2

Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel.

Numbers 26:3

So Moses and eleazar the priest gave them the order in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Numbers 26:4

Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt.

Numbers 26:5

Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

Numbers 26:6

Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.

Numbers 26:7

These are the families of the Reubenites: their number was forty-three thousand, seven hundred and thirty.

Numbers 26:8

And the sons of Pallu, Eliab

Numbers 26:9

And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had a place in the meeting of the people, who together with Korah made an outcry against Moses and Aaron and against the Lord:

Numbers 26:10

And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.

Numbers 26:11

But death did not overtake the sons of Korah.

Numbers 26:12

The sons of Simeon by their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:

Numbers 26:13

Of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.

Numbers 27:1

Numbers 27:2

They came before Moses and eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the tent of meeting, and said,

Numbers 27:3

Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

Numbers 27:4

Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

Numbers 27:5

So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

Numbers 27:6

And the Lord said to Moses,

Numbers 27:7

What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

Numbers 27:8

And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

Numbers 27:9

And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

Numbers 27:10

And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

Numbers 27:11

And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

Numbers 27:12

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

Numbers 27:13

And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

Numbers 27:14

Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

Numbers 27:15

Then Moses said to the Lord,

Numbers 27:16

Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

Numbers 27:17

To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

Numbers 27:18

And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

Numbers 27:19

And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

Numbers 27:20

And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

Numbers 27:21

He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

Numbers 27:22

So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

Numbers 27:23

And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.

Numbers 28:1

And the Lord said to Moses,

Numbers 28:2

Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.

Numbers 28:3

Say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you are to give to the Lord; he-lambs of the first year without any mark, two every day as a regular burned offering.
