done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be
cleansed.

done, so shall it be
done to him;

bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one
kid of the goats for a sin offering.

hurt one of them.

angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one
donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

And
Balaam rose up in the morning, and
saddled his
ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
And God’s anger was
kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an
adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his
ass, and his two servants were with him.
Then God’s anger was
kindled because
Balaam was going along, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to
oppose him.
Balaam was riding his
donkey, and his two servants were with him.
And the
ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the
ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and
Balaam smote the
ass, to turn her into the way.
When the
donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the path and went into a field. So
Balaam beat her to return her to the path.
And when the
ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and
crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he
smote her again.
And the
donkey saw the angel of the LORD and pressed herself against the wall,
crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat her once again.
When the
donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under
Balaam, and he became
furious and beat her with his staff.
And the LORD opened the mouth of the
ass, and she said unto
Balaam, What have I
done unto thee, that thou hast
smitten me these three times?
Then the LORD opened the
donkey’s mouth, and she said to
Balaam, “What have I
done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”
And
Balaam said unto the
ass, Because thou hast
mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Balaam answered the
donkey, “You have made a
fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!”
And the
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 him, Wherefore hast thou
smitten thine
ass these three times? behold, I went out to
withstand thee, because thy way is
perverse before me:
The angel of the LORD asked him, “Why have you beaten your
donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to
oppose you, because your way is
perverse before me.
And the
ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
The
donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, then by now I would surely have killed you and let her live.”
And Balak said unto
Balaam, What hast thou
done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Then Balak said to
Balaam, “What have you
done to me? I brought you here to
curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”
Surely there is no
enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has
done!’

And
levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the
beeves, and of the
asses, and of the sheep:
Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle,
donkeys, or sheep.
And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the
beeves, of the
asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle,
donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”

asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was
threescore and one.

asses and five hundred,

wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had

Esau, which dwelt in
Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their
stead even unto this day:

Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.

ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy
manservant and thy
maidservant may rest as well as thou.

sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to
provoke him to anger.

done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and
provoking Him to anger.

done for you these great and
awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done.
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they
done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every
abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

detestable things they do for their gods, and so cause you to sin against the LORD your God.
So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

purge from among you the guilt of
shedding innocent blood, since you have
done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
In like manner shalt thou do with his
ass; and so shalt thou do with his
raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
thyself.
And you shall do the same for his
donkey, his
cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not
ignore it.
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s
ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide
thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not
ignore it; you must help him lift it up.

ass together.

betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

done this must die.

mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have
hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have
done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

mourning, or removed any of it while unclean, or offered any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have
done everything You commanded me.

ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to
rescue them.
Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your
donkey will be taken away and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will save you.
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
So all the nations will ask, ‘Why has the LORD
done such a thing to this land? Why this great
outburst of anger?’

And on that day I will surely hide My face because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods.
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their
adversaries should
behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not
done all this.

dreaded the
taunt of the enemy, lest their
adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”

sunrising.

And Joshua said unto
Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast
done; hide it not from me.

Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I
urge you to tell me what you have
done; do not hide it from me.”
And
Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have
sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I
done:
“It is true,”
Achan replied, “I have
sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:

Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the

done to
Jericho and
Ai,
They did work
wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their
asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were
sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have
done this thing.
The Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and
wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have
done this.
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken
Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had
done to
Jericho and her king, so he had
done to
Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured
Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to
Ai and its king as he had

Jericho and its king—and that the people of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.

done also to
Libnah, and to her king.

done unto this day.

cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have
done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and
engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.

forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you
hurt, and
consume you, after that he hath
done you good.

forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, He will turn and bring

consume you, even after He has been good to you.”

tear down their altars.’ Yet you have not obeyed My voice. What is this you have
done?

And yet they would not
hearken unto their judges, but they went a
whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
Israel, however, did not
listen to their judges. Instead, they
prostituted themselves with other gods and bowed down to them. They quickly turned from the way of their fathers, who had walked in obedience to the LORD’s commandments; they did not do as their fathers had
done.

Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had
done evil in the sight of the LORD.
