For all
the firstborn of
the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on
the day that I
smote every
firstborn in
the land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
For every
firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set
them apart for Myself on
the day I struck down all
the firstborn in
the land of Egypt.
And I have taken
the Levites for all
the firstborn of
the children of Israel.
But I have taken
the Levites in place of all
the firstborn among
the sons of Israel.
And I have given
the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among
the children of Israel, to do
the service of
the children of Israel in
the tabernacle of
the congregation, and to make an
atonement for
the children of Israel: that
there be no plague among
the children of Israel, when
the children of Israel come
nigh unto
the sanctuary.
And I have given
the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among
the Israelites, to perform
the service for
the Israelites at
the Tent of Meeting and to make
atonement on
their behalf, so that no plague will come against
the Israelites when
they approach
the sanctuary.”
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.
And
the Levites were
purified, and
they washed
their clothes; and Aaron offered
them as an offering before
the LORD; and Aaron made an
atonement for
them to
cleanse them.
The Levites
purified themselves and washed
their clothes, and Aaron presented
them as a wave offering before
the LORD. Aaron also made
atonement for
them to
cleanse them.
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD said to Moses,
This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
“This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years of age or older shall enter to perform the service in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
After that,
they may assist
their brothers in
fulfilling their duties at
the Tent of Meeting, but
they themselves are not to do
the work. This is how you are to
assign responsibilities to
the Levites.”
And
the LORD spake unto Moses in
the wilderness of
Sinai, in
the first month of
the second year after
they were come out of
the land of Egypt, saying,
In
the first month of
the second year after Israel had come out of
the land of Egypt,
the LORD spoke to Moses in
the Wilderness of
Sinai:
Let
the children of Israel also keep
the passover at his appointed season.
“
The Israelites are to observe
the Passover at its appointed time.
In
the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all
the rites of it, and according to all
the ceremonies
thereof, shall ye keep it.
You are to observe it at
the appointed time, at
twilight on
the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”
And Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, that
they should keep
the passover.
So Moses told
the Israelites to observe
the Passover,
And
they kept
the passover on
the fourteenth day of
the first month at even in
the wilderness of
Sinai: according to all that
the LORD commanded Moses, so did
the children of Israel.
and
they did so in
the Wilderness of
Sinai, at
twilight on
the fourteenth day of
the first month.
The Israelites did everything just as
the LORD had commanded Moses.
And
there were certain men, who were
defiled by
the dead body of a man, that
they could not keep
the passover on that day: and
they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
But
there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so
they could not observe
the Passover on that day. And
they came before Moses and Aaron that same day
And those men said unto him, We are
defiled by
the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of
the LORD in his appointed season among
the children of Israel?
and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Speak unto
the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey
afar off, yet he shall keep
the passover unto
the LORD.
“Tell
the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe
the Passover to
the LORD.
The fourteenth day of
the second month at even
they shall keep it, and eat it with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Such people are to observe it at
twilight on
the fourteenth day of
the second month.
They are to eat
the lamb, together with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
They shall leave none of it unto
the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all
the ordinances of
the passover they shall keep it.
they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones.
They must observe
the Passover according to all its statutes.
But
the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep
the passover, even
the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not
the offering of
the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
But if a man who is
ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe
the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present
the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear
the consequences of his sin.
And if a stranger shall
sojourn among you, and will keep
the passover unto
the LORD; according to
the ordinance of
the passover, and according to
the manner
thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one
ordinance, both for
the stranger, and for him that was born in
the land.
If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe
the Passover to
the LORD, he is to do so according to
the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply
the same statute to both
the foreigner and
the native of
the land.’”
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.
So it was
alway:
the cloud covered it by day, and
the appearance of fire by night.
It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.
And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.
At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
At
the LORD’s command
the Israelites set out, and at
the LORD’s command
they camped. As long as
the cloud remained over
the tabernacle,
they remained
encamped.
And when
the cloud
tarried long upon
the tabernacle many days,
then the children of Israel kept
the charge of
the LORD, and journeyed not.
Even when
the cloud
lingered over
the tabernacle for many days,
the Israelites kept
the LORD’s charge and did not set out.
And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.
And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.
Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that
the cloud
tarried upon
the tabernacle, remaining
thereon,
the children of Israel abode in
their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up,
they journeyed.
Whether
the cloud
lingered for two days, a month, or longer,
the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as
the cloud remained over
the tabernacle; but when it was lifted,
they would set out.
At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Make
thee two
trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make
them: that thou mayest use
them for
the calling of
the assembly, and for
the journeying of
the camps.
“Make two
trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling
the congregation and for having
the camps set out.
And when
they shall blow with
them, all
the assembly shall
assemble themselves to
thee at
the door of
the tabernacle of
the congregation.
When both are sounded,
the whole congregation is to
assemble before you at
the entrance to
the Tent of Meeting.
And if
they blow but with one
trumpet,
then the princes, which are heads of
the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto
thee.
But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.
When ye blow an
alarm,
then the camps that lie on
the east parts shall go forward.
When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.
When ye blow an
alarm the second time,
then the camps that lie on
the south side shall take
their journey:
they shall blow an
alarm for
their journeys.
When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.
But when
the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an
alarm.
To
convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.
And
the sons of Aaron,
the priests, shall blow with
the trumpets; and
they shall be to you for an
ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
The sons of Aaron,
the priests, are to sound
the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and
the generations to come.
And if ye go to war in your land against
the enemy that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an
alarm with
the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before
the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
When you enter into battle in your land against an
adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on
the trumpets, and you will be remembered before
the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.
Also in
the day of your
gladness, and in your solemn days, and in
the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with
the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over
the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that
they may be to you for a
memorial before your God: I am
the LORD your God.
And on your
joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and
the beginning of each month, you are to blow
the trumpets over your burnt offerings and
fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am
the LORD your God.”
And it came to pass on
the twentieth day of
the second month, in
the second year, that
the cloud was taken up from off
the tabernacle of
the testimony.
On
the twentieth day of
the second month of
the second year,
the cloud was lifted from above
the tabernacle of
the Testimony,
And
the children of Israel took
their journeys out of
the wilderness of
Sinai; and
the cloud rested in
the wilderness of
Paran.
and
the Israelites set out from
the Wilderness of
Sinai, traveling from place to place until
the cloud settled in
the Wilderness of
Paran.
And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.
In
the first place went
the standard of
the camp of
the children of Judah according to
their armies: and over his host was Nahshon
the son of
Amminadab.
First,
the divisions of
the camp of Judah set out under
their standard, with Nahshon son of
Amminadab in command.
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Issachar was Nethaneel
the son of Zuar.
Nethanel son of Zuar was over
the division of
the tribe of
Issachar,
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Zebulun was Eliab
the son of Helon.
and Eliab son of Helon was over
the division of
the tribe of
Zebulun.
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.
And
the standard of
the camp of
Reuben set forward according to
their armies: and over his host was Elizur
the son of Shedeur.
Then the divisions of
the camp of
Reuben set out under
their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Simeon was Shelumiel
the son of Zurishaddai.
Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over
the division of
the tribe of
Simeon,
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Gad was Eliasaph
the son of Deuel.
and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over
the division of
the tribe of
Gad.
And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.
And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Manasseh was
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.
And
the standard of
the camp of
the children of
Dan set forward, which was
the rereward of all
the camps throughout
their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer
the son of Ammishaddai.
Finally,
the divisions of
the camp of
Dan set out under
their standard, serving as
the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,
And over
the host of
the tribe of
the children of
Naphtali was Ahira
the son of Enan.
and Ahira son of Enan was over
the division of
the tribe of
Naphtali.
Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
This was
the order of march for
the Israelite divisions as
they set out.
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
And he said, Leave us not, I pray
thee;
forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to
encamp in
the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
“Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.
And it shall be, if thou go with us,
yea, it shall be, that what goodness
the LORD shall do unto us,
the same will we do unto
thee.
If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”
And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.
So
they set out on a three-day journey from
the mountain of
the LORD, with
the ark of
the covenant of
the LORD traveling
ahead of
them for those three days to seek a resting place for
them.
And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
And it came to pass, when
the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let
them that
hate thee flee before
thee.
Whenever
the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who
hate You
flee before You.”
And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
And when
the people
complained, it displeased
the LORD: and
the LORD heard it; and his anger was
kindled; and
the fire of
the LORD burnt among
them, and consumed
them that were in
the uttermost parts of
the camp.
Soon
the people began to
complain about
their hardship in
the hearing of
the LORD, and when He heard
them, His anger was
kindled, and fire from
the LORD
blazed among
them and consumed
the outskirts of
the camp.
And
the people
cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
the LORD,
the fire was
quenched.
And
the people
cried out to Moses, and he prayed to
the LORD, and
the fire died down.
And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
And
the mixt multitude that was among
them fell a
lusting: and
the children of Israel also
wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Meanwhile,
the rabble among
them had a strong
craving for other food, and again
the Israelites
wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
We remember
the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely;
the cucumbers, and
the melons, and
the leeks, and
the onions, and
the garlick:
We remember
the fish we
ate freely in Egypt, along with
the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and
garlic.
But now our soul is dried away:
there is nothing at all, beside this
manna, before our eyes.
But now our
appetite is gone;
there is nothing to see but this
manna!”
Now
the manna resembled
coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
And
the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and
baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and
the taste of it was as
the taste of fresh oil.
The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a
handmill or
crushed it in a mortar,
then boiled it in a
cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like
pastry baked with fine oil.
And when
the dew fell upon
the camp in
the night,
the manna fell upon it.
When
the dew fell on
the camp at night,
the manna would fall with it.
Then Moses heard
the people
weep throughout
their families, every man in
the door of his tent: and
the anger of
the LORD was
kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
Then Moses heard
the people of family after family
weeping at
the entrances to
their tents, and
the anger of
the LORD was
kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
And Moses said unto
the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest
the burden of all this people upon me?
So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?
Have I conceived all this people? have I
begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry
them in thy
bosom, as a
nursing father beareth
the sucking child, unto
the land which thou swarest unto
their fathers?
Did I conceive all
these people? Did I give
them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry
them in your
bosom, as a
nurse carries an infant,’ to
the land that You
swore to give
their fathers?
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
I cannot carry all
these people by myself; it is too
burdensome for me.
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray
thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my
wretchedness.
If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own
wretchedness.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
And I will come down and talk with
thee there: and I will take of
the spirit which is upon
thee, and will put it upon
them; and
they shall bear
the burden of
the people with
thee, that thou bear it not
thyself alone.
And I will come down and speak with you
there, and I will take some of
the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on
them.
They will help you bear
the burden of
the people, so that you do not have to bear it by
yourself.
And say thou unto
the people,
Sanctify yourselves against to
morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have
wept in
the ears of
the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt:
therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
And say to
the people:
Consecrate yourselves for
tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have
cried out in
the hearing of
the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’
Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be
loathsome unto you: because that ye have
despised the LORD which is among you, and have
wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you
nauseous—because you have rejected
the LORD, who is among you, and have
cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”
And Moses said,
The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand
footmen; and thou hast said, I will give
them flesh, that
they may eat a whole month.
But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
And
the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of
the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto
the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when
the spirit rested upon
them,
they prophesied, and did not cease.
Then the LORD came down in
the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of
the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on
the seventy elders. As
the Spirit rested on
them,
they prophesied—but
they never did so again.
But
there remained two of
the men in
the camp,
the name of
the one was
Eldad, and
the name of
the other Medad: and
the spirit rested upon
them; and
they were of
them that were written, but went not out unto
the tabernacle: and
they prophesied in
the camp.
Two men, however, had remained in
the camp—one named
Eldad and
the other Medad—and
the Spirit rested on
them.
They were among those listed, but
they had not gone out to
the tent, and
they prophesied in
the camp.
And
there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said,
Eldad and Medad do
prophesy in
the camp.
A young man ran and reported to Moses, “
Eldad and Medad are
prophesying in
the camp.”
And Joshua
the son of
Nun,
the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them.
Joshua son of
Nun,
the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop
them!”
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
But Moses replied, “Are you
jealous on my account? I wish that all
the LORD’s people were prophets and that
the LORD would place His Spirit on
them!”
And Moses
gat him into
the camp, he and
the elders of Israel.
Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
Now a wind sent by
the LORD came up, drove in
quail from
the sea, and brought
them near
the camp, about two cubits above
the surface of
the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around
the camp.
And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
All that day and night, and all
the next day,
the people stayed up gathering
the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and
they spread
them out all around
the camp.
And while
the flesh was yet between
their teeth,
ere it was
chewed,
the wrath of
the LORD was
kindled against
the people, and
the LORD
smote the people with a very great plague.
But while
the meat was still between
their teeth, before it was
chewed,
the anger of
the LORD burned against
the people, and
the LORD struck
them with a severe plague.
