not be with you.”

thyself altogether a prince over us?

not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards:
wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will
not come up.

donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

not done them of mine own mind.

If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the
visitation of all men; then the LORD hath
not sent me.
If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
To be a
memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is
not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be
not as
Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

not a
descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like
Korah and his followers.

not.

rebellious, so that you may put an end to their
grumbling against Me, lest they die.”

not come
nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

not come
nigh unto you.

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.

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.

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.”

heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye

not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
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.

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.
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth
not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was
not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Anyone who touches a human
corpse and fails to
purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of
purification has
not been
sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.
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.

wretched place? It is
not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me
not, to
sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall
not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

not trust Me to show My
holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will
not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
Please let us pass through your land. We will
not cut through any field or
vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s
Highway; we will
not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
And
Edom said unto him, Thou shalt
not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
But
Edom answered, “You may
not travel through our land, or we will come out and
confront you with the sword.”
And he said, Thou shalt
not go through. And
Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

not pass through.” And they came out to

not cut through any field or
vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s
Highway until we have passed through your territory.”

confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
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.”
And God said unto

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

nothing hinder you from coming to me,

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.

not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
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
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
Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have
sinned; for I knew
not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
“I have
sinned,”
Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, “for I did
not realize that you were standing in the road to
confront me. And now, if this is displeasing in your sight, I will go back home.”
And Balak said unto
Balaam, Did I
not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou
not unto me? am I
not able indeed to promote thee to honour?

Balaam, “Did I
not send you an
urgent summons? Why did you
not come to me? Am I really
not able to richly reward you?”
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart,
not reckoning themselves among the nations.
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.”
God is
not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: hath he said, and shall he
not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he
not make it good?
God is
not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and
not act? Does He promise and
not fulfill?
He hath
not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the
shout of a king is among them.

disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the
shout of the King is among them.

lioness; they
rouse themselves like a lion,
not resting until they
devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.”

not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

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.

sorcery as on previous occasions, but he turned his face toward the wilderness.

not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
Balaam answered Balak, “Did I
not already tell the messengers you sent me
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.
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.
Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was
zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed
not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

Korah did
not die out.

And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
The
registration of the Levites totaled 23,000, every male a month old or more; they were
not numbered among the other Israelites, because no inheritance was given to them among the Israelites.
But among these there was
not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of
Sinai.
Among all these, however, there was
not one who had been numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Wilderness of
Sinai.

not be like sheep without a
shepherd.”

convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:

Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no

not do any regular work. This will be a day for you to sound the
trumpets.
And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall
afflict your souls: ye shall
not do any work therein:
On the tenth day of this seventh month, you are to hold a sacred assembly, and you shall humble
yourselves; you must
not do any work.
And on the
fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no

If a man
vow a
vow unto the LORD, or
swear 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.
If a man makes a
vow to the LORD or swears an oath to
obligate himself by a
pledge, he must
not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
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.

not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

nothing to her and does
not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

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 all the women children, that have
not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for
yourselves.
Every thing that may
abide the fire, ye shall make it 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 go through the water.

withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be
purified with the water of
purification. And everything that cannot
withstand the fire must pass through the water.

“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
For when they went up unto the valley of
Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should
not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have
not wholly followed me:
‘Because they did
not follow Me wholeheartedly,
not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I
swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
Save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of
Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
not one except
Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of
Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
We will
not return to our homes until every
Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
For we will
not inherit with them on
yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
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.
But if they will
not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of
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 they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the
avenger; that the
manslayer die
not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

Or with any stone,
wherewith a man may die, seeing him
not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was
not his enemy, neither sought his
harm:
or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was
not an enemy and did
not intend to
harm him,
And the
revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the
revenger of blood kill the
slayer; he shall
not be guilty of blood:
and the
avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the
avenger will
not be guilty of
bloodshed Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall
not testify against any person to cause him to die.
If
anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a
lone witness.
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
You are
not to accept a
ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death.
So ye shall
not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Do
not pollute the land where you live, for
bloodshed pollutes the land, and no
atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Do

So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

not be
intimidated by
anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
