gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he' (4 had no sons. Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had' no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father. 5 And Moses brought their cause be6 fore the LORD. And the LORD spake 7 unto Moses, saying, 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 8 them. 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 9 unto his daughter. And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his 10 inheritance unto his brethren. And

if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's 11 brethren. 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 judgement, as the LORD commanded Moses.

12

And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and 'behold the land which I have given unto the children of 13 Israel. And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gath14 ered becausel ye rebelled against my word' in the wilderness' of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, 1to sanctify me at the 'waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah 'of! Kadesh in the wilderness 15 of Zin.) And Moses spake unto the 16 LORD, saying, "Let the LORD, the God

of the spirits of all flesh, 'appoint' 17 a man over the congregation, which may go out before them, and which may Icome 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 18 shepherd. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and 19 lay thine hand upon him; °and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before

all the congregation; and give him a (20 charge in their sight. "And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the chil21 dren of Israel may obey'. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgement of the 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, 23 and before all the congregation: and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD 'spakel by the hand of Moses.

281 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Command the children of

Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, lof a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me 3) in their due season. And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; hel-lambs of the first year without blemish', two day by day, for 4 a continual burnt offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer 5 at even; and 'the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a 'meal' offering, mingled with the fourth part of 6 lan hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire 7) unto the LORD. And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of lan' hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou 'pour out a drink offering of strong drink unto 8 the LORD. And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even as the meal' offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, 'an offering' made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

9

And on the sabbath day two 'helambs of the first year without blemish', and two tenth parts of an ephah' of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offer10 ing thereof this is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual

burnt offering, and 'the' drink offering Ithereof1.

11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the 12 first year without blemish'; and three tenth parts of an ephah' of 'fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth 'parts' of 'fine flour for a 'meal' offering, mingled with oil, for 13 the one ram; and a several tenth 'part of 'fine' flour mingled with oil for a 'meal' offering unto every lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, lan offering made by fire unto the 14 LORD. And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of 'an' hin 'for the ram, and 'the fourth part of Jan' hin 'for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout 15 the months of the year. And one

And in the first month, 'on' the fourteenth day of the 'month', is the 17 LORD'S' passover. And 'on' the fif

Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye 'offer' a new 'meal' offering unto the LORD in your feast of1 weeks, ye shall have an' holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 27 but ye shall offer 'a' burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven 28 he-lambs of the first year; and their 'meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each' bullock, two tenth 'parts for the one 29 ram, a several tenth 'part for every (30 lamb of the seven lambs; one 'he

These ye shall offer unto the LORD in your set feasts, 'beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your Imeal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offer40 ings. And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses. 301 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the 2 LORD hath commanded. When a man voweth a vow unto the LORD, or 'sweareth 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) Also when a woman voweth a vow unto the LORD, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father's house, 4 in her youth; and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul 5 shall stand. But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; Inone of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disal6 lowed her. And if she be married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she 'hath' bound 7 her soul; and her husband 'hear it, and 'hold' his peace at her in the day that he heareth it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband disallow her 'in' the day that he heareth it; then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath' bound her soul and the LORD shall forgive 9) her. But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, even every thing' wherewith 'she hath bound her 10 soul, shall stand against her. And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an 11 oath, and her husband heard it, and

1 [Ch. xxx. 1 in Heb.]

held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound (12 her soul shall stand. "But if her husband made them null and void in the day that 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 14 it void. 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 hath established' them, because he held his peace at her in (15 the day that he heard them. But

if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them; then (16 he shall bear her iniquity. These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

311

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou 3 be gathered unto thy people. And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm Tye men from among you for the war, 'that they may go against 'Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on 4 Midian. Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, 5 shall ye send to the war. So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe. 6) twelve thousand armed for war. And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets 'for the alarm' 7 in his hand. And they warred against Midian', as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male'. (8 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain; Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 'the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they 9) slew with the sword. And the chil

2 Heb. profane.

dren of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for 10) a prey. And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with 11 fire. And they took all the spoil,

and all the prey, both of 'man' and of 12 beast. And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by 'the Jordan at' Jericho.

13

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the (14 camp. And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains lof thousands and the captains of hundreds, which came from the 'ser15 vice of the war. And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the 16) women alive? Behold, these caused

the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among 17 the congregation of the LORD. Now

therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. (18 But all the women children, that have

о

not known man by lying with him, 19) keep alive for yourselves. And lencamp' ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, 'yel and your 20) captives. And 'as to every garment', and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, 'ye shall purify your21 selves. And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded 22 Moses: howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the * 23 lead, every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make 'to' 24 go through the water. And ye shall

25

wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward shall come into the camp.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 26 saying, Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses (27 of the congregation: and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation: 28 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and 29) of the asses, and of the flocks': take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD's heave of30 fering. And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of 31 the LORD. And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded 32) Moses. Now the prey, 'over' and Jabove the booty which the men of war took', was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thou33 sand sheep, and threescore and twelve 34 thousand beeves, and threescore and 35 one thousand asses, and thirty and

two thousand persons in all, of 'the' women that had not known man by 36) lying with him. And the half, which

was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred 37 sheep and the LORD's tribute of

the sheep was six hundred and three38 score and fifteen. And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was three39 score and twelve. And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute 40 was threescore and one. "And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty 41 and two persons. And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar,the priest, 42 as the LORD commanded Moses. And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that
