when ye
reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean

And ye shall
hallow the
fiftieth year, and
proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

consecrate the
fiftieth year and
proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your
Jubilee,
when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.

desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths,

And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a
faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall
chase them; and they shall
flee, as
fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall
when none pursueth.

abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not
reject or
despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

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 estimate it, so shall it stand.

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and

nigh shall be put to death.

And
Nadab and
Abihu died before the LORD,
when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of
Sinai, and they had no children: and
Eleazar and
Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Nadab and
Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD
when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of
Sinai. And since they had no sons, only
Eleazar and
Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
And
when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering
vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the
veil of the
curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
And
when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of
Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their
equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the
transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die,
when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
In order that they may live and not die
when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and
assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
Speak unto the children of Israel,
When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a
trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;

when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by

Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of
cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a
curse and an oath among thy people,
when the LORD
doth make thy
thigh to
rot, and thy
belly to swell;
And
when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be
defiled, and have done
trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the
curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her
belly shall swell, and her
thigh shall
rot: and the woman shall be a
curse among her people.
When he has made her drink the water, if she has
defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a
curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her
belly will swell, her
thigh will
shrivel, and she will become
accursed among her people.
This is the law of
jealousies,
when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is
defiled;
This is the law of jealousy
when a wife goes
astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,
Or
when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be
jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law.
or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall separate themselves to
vow a
vow of a
Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special
vow, the
vow of a
Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister,
when they die: because the
consecration of his God is upon his head.
Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to
defile himself, because the crown of
consecration to his God is upon his head.
And this is the law of the
Nazarite,
when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Now this is the law of the
Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
And the princes offered for
dedicating of the altar in the day that it was
anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
When the altar was
anointed, the leaders approached with their offerings for its
dedication and presented them before the altar.
This was the
dedication of the altar, in the day
when it was
anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver
bowls, twelve spoons of gold:
So these were the offerings from the leaders of Israel for the
dedication of the altar
when it was
anointed: twelve silver platters, twelve silver
bowls, and twelve gold dishes.
And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.

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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
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.
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!’
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.
And the LORD came down in the
pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and
Miriam: and they both came forth.
and the LORD came down in a
pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and
Miriam.
When both of them had
stepped forward,
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
when he cometh out of his mother’s
womb.
Please do not let her be like a
stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed
when he comes out of his mother’s
womb.”
And Moses sent them to
spy out the land of
Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
When Moses sent them to
spy out the land of
Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
And they came unto the
brook of
Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one
cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
When they came to the Valley of
Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single
cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people
mourned greatly.
And
when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people
mourned bitterly.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home
And
when thou preparest a
bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a
vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to
fulfill a
vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,
All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way
when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing
aroma to the LORD.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye come into the land
whither I bring you,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
Then it shall be, that,
when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an
heave offering unto the LORD.
and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
And the priest shall make an
atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly,
when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an
atonement for him; and it shall be
forgiven him.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
And
Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and
wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation?
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
when one man sins, will You be
angry with the whole congregation?”
And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the
tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an
heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the
tithe.
“Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘
When you receive from the Israelites the
tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a
tithe of the
tithe.
Therefore thou shalt say unto them,
When ye have
heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
Therefore say to the Levites, ‘
When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the
threshing floor or winepress.
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.’”
This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
This is the law
when a person dies in a tent:
Everyone who enters the tent and
everyone already in the tent will be unclean for seven days,
And the people
chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died
when our brethren died before the LORD!

And
when we
cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the
uttermost of thy border:

cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
And
when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they
mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

mourned for him thirty days.
And
when king
Arad the
Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the
spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
When the
Canaanite king of
Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked Israel and captured some prisoners.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a
fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is
bitten,
when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a
fiery serpent and mount it on a pole.
When anyone who is
bitten looks at it, he will live.”
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had
bitten any man,
when he
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
So Moses made a bronze
snake and mounted it on a pole. If
anyone who was
bitten looked at the bronze
snake, he would live.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

confront Israel in the wilderness.
When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
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.

furious and beat her with his staff.
And
when Balak heard that
Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of
Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
When Balak heard that
Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the
Moabite city on the
Arnon border, at the edge of his territory.
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.”
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.
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.

bless Israel, he did not resort to
sorcery as on previous occasions, but he turned his face toward the wilderness.
And
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel
abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
When Balaam looked up and saw Israel
encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him,
