And if a stranger or sojourner 'with1 thee 'be waxen' rich, and thy brother 'be waxen poor 'beside' him, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner Iwith thee, or to the stock of the (48 stranger's family: after that he is

sold he may be redeemed; one of his 49 brethren may redeem him: olor' 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 re50 deem himself. And he shall reckon

with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of an hired servant shall 'hel be (51 with him. "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 (52 for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give 'back' the (53) price of his redemption. As a servant hired 'year by year' shall he be with him: The shall not rule with (54 rigour over him in thy sight. And if he be not redeemed by these means, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, he, and his children with 55 him. 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. 261) 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 2 your God. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 °then I will give 'your rains' in 'their season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field

5 shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your 6 land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down,

1 Or, in these years 2 See ch. xix. 4.

and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to ceasel out of the land, neither shall the 7 sword go through your land. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall Ichase ten thousand: and your enemies shall fall before you by the 9 sword. And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish my 10 covenant with you. And ye shall

eat old store 'long kept', and 'ye shall bring forth the old because of the 11 new. And I will set my tabernacle Iamong you and my soul shall not 12 abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye 13 shall be my people. I am the LORD your God, which 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.

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these command(15 ments; and if ye shall 'reject' my statutes, 'and' if your soul abhor my judgements, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my 16) covenant; I also will do this unto you; I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and 'fever, that shall consume the eyes, and 'make the soul to pine away!: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your 17 enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be Ismitten' before your enemies: they that hate you shall 'rule' over you; and

ye

:

shall flee when none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for these things! hearken unto me, then I will 'chastise! you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven 20 as iron, and your earth as brass and your strength shall be spent in vain : for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the 21 land yield their fruit'. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more' plagues upon you accord(22 ing to your sins. And I will send Or, from before

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 23) become desolate. And if by these

things ye will not be reformed "unto me, but will walk contrary unto me; 24 then will I also walk contrary unto

you; and I will 'smite' you, 'even I', 25 seven times for your sins. °And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall lexecute the vengeancel 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 (26) the enemy. "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. 27

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; (28 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you 29 seven times for your sins. And

ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye 30 eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your 'sun'-images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul 31 shall abhor you. And I will make your cities a waste, and 'will' bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your 32 sweet odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be aston33) ished at it. And you will I scatter among the 'nations', and 'I will draw out the sword after you and your land shall be la desolation', and your 34 cities shall be a waste. Then shall

the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35) As long as it lieth desolate it shall

have rest; leven the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye (36 dwelt upon it. 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 37 none pursueth. And they shall 'stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power to stand 38 before your enemies. And ye shall perish among the nations', and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 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 40) with them. And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that 'because they have walked contrary (41 unto me, I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart! be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment 42 of their iniquity; 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 (43 the land. "The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they 'rejected' my judgements, and their soul abhorred my 44 statutes. And yet for all that, when they be 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: 45 for I am the LORD their God: 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.

"And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 °And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 °And if it be from sixty years old and lupward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, 8 and for the female ten shekels. But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him' that vowed shall the priest value him.

And if it be a beast, whereof men loffer an oblation unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto 10 the LORD shall be holy. 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 11 changed shall be holy. "And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation' unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before (12) the priest and the priest shall value

it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 13 °But if he will 'indeed' redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

14

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall 15 estimate it, so shall it stand.

(16

°And

if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the 'sowing thereof:

the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation (18 it shall stand. But if he sanctify

his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubile, and 'an abatement shall be made from thy esti19 mation. And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall 20 be assured to him. And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall 21 not be redeemed any more: but the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof 22 shall be the priest's. And if he'

sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the (23 'field' of his possession; then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubile and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto (24 the LORD. In the year of jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth'. 25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

11 AND the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the 'tent' of meeting', on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land 2 of Egypt, saying, Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their 'fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, every male, 3 by their polls; °from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them by their 4) hosts. And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head (5 of his fathers' house. "And these

are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of Reuben; Elizur 6 the son of Shedeur. Of Simeon;

Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Am8 minadab. Of Issachar; Nethanel' 9 the son of Zuar. °Of Zebulun; Eliab 10 the son of Helon. Of the children

of Joseph of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh ; 11 Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. °Of

Benjamin; Abidan the son of Gide12 oni. Of Dan; Ahiezer the son of 13 Ammishaddai. °Of Asher; Pagiel 14 the son of Ochran. Of Gad; Elia15 saph the son of 1Deuel. °Of Naph16 tali; Ahira the son of Enan. These

lare they that were called' of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the 2thousands of 17 Israel. And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by 13 name and they assembled all the congregation together on the first

VERSION OF 1611.-33 the change thereof.

day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by their 'fathers' houses', according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, 19 by their polls. As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

20) And the children of Reuben, Israel's 'firstborn', their generations, 'by their families, by their 'fathers' houses', according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were (21 able to go forth to war; those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.

(42

Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses', according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were (43 able to go forth to war; those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

44) These are they that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one for (45 his fathers' house. So all they!

that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses', from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war 46 in Israel; even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

47

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered 48 among them. For the LORD 'spake 49) unto Moses, saying, "Only the tribe

of Levi thou shalt not number, neither Ishalt thou take the sum of them (50) among the children of Israel: "but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of 'the testimony, and over all the 'furniture' thereof, and over all that belongeth to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the 'furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp 51 round about the tabernacle. °And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be 52 put to death. And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to 53 their hosts. But the Levites shall
