but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come
nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come
nigh unto you.
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.

vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh

but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
Every thing that openeth the
matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the
firstborn of man shalt thou surely
redeem, and the
firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou
redeem.
The
firstborn of every
womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you.
But you must surely
redeem every
firstborn son and every
firstborn male of unclean animals.
But the
firstling of a cow, or the
firstling of a sheep, or the
firstling of a goat, thou shalt not
redeem; they are holy: thou shalt
sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
But you must not
redeem the
firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to
sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing
aroma to the LORD.
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
But the
tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an
heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to
inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the
tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have
heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye
pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not
incur guilt because of it.
But you must not
defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”

but he will be
ceremonially unclean until evening.
He shall
purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean:
but if he
purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
He must
purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean.
But if he does not
purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean.
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not
purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been
sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
But if a person who is unclean does not
purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of
purification has not been
sprinkled on him; he is unclean.

holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to
confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.

Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of

Edom.

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.

vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s
Highway until we have passed through your territory.”

Arnon to the
Jabbok—
but only up to the border of the
Ammonites, because it was fortified.

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.
But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the
Amorites, who lived in
Heshbon.”

Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not
curse the people: for they are blessed.

Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to
curse this people, for they are blessed.”
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.
But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
And God came unto
Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them;

summon you, get up and go with them,
but you must only do what I tell you.”

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.
But the
donkey said to
Balaam, “Am I not the
donkey you have
ridden all your life until
today? Have I ever treated you this way before?” “No,” he replied.
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.
But the angel of the LORD said to
Balaam, “Go with the men,
but you are to speak only what I tell you.” So
Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
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.
“See, I have come to you,”
Balaam replied, “
but can I say just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”
And he answered and said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
And 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.
Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there,
curse them for me.”
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
And 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.
And when
Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to
bless Israel, he did not resort to
sorcery as on previous occasions,
but he turned his face toward the wilderness.
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:
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the
Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
And 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.
Then Balak’s anger burned against
Balaam, and he struck his hands together and said to
Balaam, “I summoned you to
curse my enemies,
but behold, you have
persisted in blessing them these three times.
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.
Therefore,
flee at once to your home! I said I would richly reward you,
but instead the LORD has denied your reward.”
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?
that even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own
accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD? I will speak whatever the LORD says.
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.
Now I am going back to my people,
but come, let me
warn you what this people will do to your people in the days to come.”
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:
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the
Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
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.
I see him,
but not now; I behold him,
but not near. A star will come forth from Jacob, and a
scepter will arise from Israel. He will
crush the skulls of Moab and strike down all the sons of
Sheth.

but his end is destruction.”

forever.”

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.
and her father hears about her
vow or
pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
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.
But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will
absolve her because her father has prohibited her.
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.
and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
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.
But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the
vow that binds her or the
rash promise she has made, and the LORD will
absolve her.
But every
vow of a widow, and of her that is
divorced,
wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
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.
and her husband hears of it
but says nothing to her and does not
prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
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.
But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has
nullified them, and the LORD will
absolve her.
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.
But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”

abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be

But it must still be
purified with the water of
purification. And everything that cannot
withstand the fire must pass through the water.

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the
fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go
ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have
sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be
assured that your sin will find you out.
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

But your servants are
equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

Canaan.
But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of
Canaan.”
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall
vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will
harass you in the land where you settle.
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
The cities that you
apportion from the territory of the Israelites should be given to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one.”
But if he thrust him of hatred, or
hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
But if he thrust him suddenly without
enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
