the name of that place
Kibroth-hattaavah: because
there they buried
the people that
lusted.

Kibroth-hattaavah, because
there they buried
the people who had
craved other food.

And
Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of
the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an
Ethiopian woman.

the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a
Cushite wife.
And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
(Now
the man Moses was very
meek, above all
the men which were upon
the face of
the earth.)
Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
And
the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto
Miriam, Come out ye three unto
the tabernacle of
the congregation. And
they three came out.
And suddenly
the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and
Miriam, “You three, come out to
the Tent of Meeting.” So
the three went out,
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.

the entrance to
the Tent, and summoned Aaron and
Miriam. When both of
them had
stepped forward,
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
He said, “Hear now My words: If
there is a prophet among you, I,
the LORD, will
reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and
the similitude of
the LORD shall he behold: wherefore
then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in
riddles; he sees
the form of
the LORD. Why
then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
And
the anger of
the LORD was
kindled against
them; and he departed.
So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
And
the cloud departed from off
the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became
leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold, she was
leprous.

leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was
leprous,
And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas, my lord, I
beseech thee, lay not
the sin upon us, wherein we have done
foolishly, and wherein we have
sinned.
and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so
foolishly committed.
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.”
So Moses
cried out to
the LORD, “O God, please
heal her!”
And
the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but
spit in her face, should she not be
ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from
the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
But
the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had 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
Miriam was shut out from
the camp seven days: and
the people journeyed not till
Miriam was brought in again.
So
Miriam was confined outside
the camp for seven days, and
the people did not move on until she was brought in again.

the wilderness of
Paran.
After that,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD said to Moses,
Send thou men, that
they may search
the land of
Canaan, which I give unto
the children of Israel: of every tribe of
their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among
them.
“Send out for
yourself men to
spy out
the land of
Canaan, which I am giving to
the Israelites. From each of
their fathers’ tribes send one man who is a leader among
them.”
And Moses by
the commandment of
the LORD sent
them from
the wilderness of
Paran: all those men were heads of
the children of Israel.
So at
the consent of
the LORD, Moses sent
them out from
the Wilderness of
Paran. All
the men were leaders of
the Israelites,

the names of
the men which Moses sent to
spy out
the land. And Moses called Oshea
the son of
Nun Jehoshua.
These were
the names of
the men Moses sent to
spy out
the land; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of
Nun the name Joshua.
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 see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
And what
the land is, whether it be fat or
lean, whether
there be wood
therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of
the fruit of
the land. Now
the time was
the time of
the firstripe grapes.
Is
the soil fertile or unproductive? Are
there trees in it or not? Be
courageous, and bring back some of
the fruit of
the land.” (It was
the season for
the first ripe grapes.)
So
they went up, and searched
the land from
the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to
Hamath.
So
they went up and
spied out
the land from
the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-
hamath.
And
they ascended by
the south, and came unto
Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai,
the children of
Anak, were. (Now
Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
They went up through
the Negev and came to
Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai,
the descendants of
Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
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.
The place was called
the brook Eshcol, because of
the cluster of grapes which
the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
Because of
the cluster of grapes
the Israelites cut
there, that place was called
the Valley of
Eshcol.
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
After forty days
the men returned from
spying out
the land,
And
they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all
the congregation of
the children of Israel, unto
the wilderness of
Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto
them, and unto all
the congregation, and shewed
them the fruit of
the land.
and
they went back to Moses, Aaron, and
the whole congregation of Israel in
the Wilderness of
Paran at Kadesh.
They brought back a report for
the whole congregation and showed
them the fruit of
the land.
And
they told him, and said, We came unto
the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is
the fruit of it.
And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
Nevertheless
the people be strong that dwell in
the land, and
the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw
the children of
Anak there.
Nevertheless,
the people living in
the land are strong, and
the cities are large and fortified. We even saw
the descendants of
Anak there.
The Amalekites dwell in
the land of
the south: and
the Hittites, and
the Jebusites, and
the Amorites, dwell in
the mountains: and
the Canaanites dwell by
the sea, and by
the coast of Jordan.
And
Caleb stilled
the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Then Caleb quieted
the people before Moses and said, “We must go up and take possession of
the land, for we can certainly
conquer it!”
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
But the men who had gone up with him replied, “We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are!”
And
they brought up an evil report of
the land which
they had searched unto
the children of Israel, saying,
The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up
the inhabitants
thereof; and all
the people that we saw in it are men of a great
stature.
So
they gave
the Israelites a bad report about
the land that
they had
spied out: “
The land we
explored devours its inhabitants, and all
the people we saw
there are great in
stature.
And
there we saw
the giants,
the sons of
Anak, which come of
the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in
their sight.
We even saw
the Nephilim there—
the descendants of
Anak that come from
the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed
the same to
them!”
And all
the congregation lifted up
their voice, and
cried; and
the people
wept that night.
Then the whole congregation lifted up
their voices and
cried out, and that night
the people
wept.
And all
the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and
the whole congregation said unto
them, Would God that we had died in
the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
Why is
the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by
the sword? Our wives and children will become
plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
So
they said to one another, “Let us
appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
And Joshua
the son of
Nun, and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of
them that searched
the land, rent
their clothes:
Joshua son of
Nun and
Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had
spied out
the land,
tore their clothes
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
and said to
the whole congregation of Israel, “
The land we passed through and
explored is an exceedingly good land.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
Only
rebel not ye against
the LORD, neither fear ye
the people of
the land; for
they are bread for us:
their defence is departed from
them, and
the LORD is with us: fear
them not.
Only do not
rebel against
the LORD, and do not be afraid of
the people of
the land, for
they will be like bread for us.
Their protection has been removed, and
the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of
them!”
But all
the congregation
bade stone
them with stones. And
the glory of
the LORD appeared in
the tabernacle of
the congregation before all
the children of Israel.
But
the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and
Caleb.
Then the glory of
the LORD appeared to all
the Israelites at
the Tent of Meeting.
And
the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
provoke me? and how long will it be
ere they believe me, for all
the signs which I have shewed among
them?
And
the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will
they refuse to believe in Me,
despite all
the signs I have performed among
them?
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
And
they will tell it to
the inhabitants of this land: for
they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over
them, and that thou goest before
them, by
daytime in a
pillar of a cloud, and in a
pillar of fire by night.
And
they will tell it to
the inhabitants of this land.
They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in
the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over
them, and that You go before
them in a
pillar of cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night.
Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
Because
the LORD was not able to bring this people into
the land which he
sware unto
them,
therefore he hath slain
them in
the wilderness.
‘Because
the LORD was unable to bring this people into
the land He
swore to give
them, He has slaughtered
them in
the wilderness.’
And now, I
beseech thee, let
the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
So now I pray, may
the power of my Lord be
magnified, just as You have declared:
The LORD is
longsuffering, and of great mercy,
forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing
the guilty, visiting
the iniquity of
the fathers upon
the children unto
the third and fourth generation.
‘
The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion,
forgiving iniquity and
transgression. Yet He will by no means leave
the guilty unpunished; He will visit
the iniquity of
the fathers upon
their children to
the third and fourth generation.’
Pardon, I
beseech thee,
the iniquity of this people according unto
the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
Pardon, I pray,
the iniquity of this people, in keeping with
the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have
forgiven them ever since
they left Egypt.”
And
the LORD said, I have
pardoned according to thy word:
“I have
pardoned them as you requested,”
the LORD replied.
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in
the wilderness, and have
tempted me now
these ten times, and have not
hearkened to my voice;
not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
Surely
they shall not see
the land which I
sware unto
their fathers, neither shall any of
them that
provoked me see it:
not one will ever see
the land that I
swore to give
their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
But my servant
Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into
the land
whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
But because My servant
Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into
the land he has entered, and his descendants will
inherit it.
(Now
the Amalekites and
the Canaanites dwelt in
the valley.) To
morrow turn you, and get you into
the wilderness by
the way of
the Red sea.
Now since
the Amalekites and
Canaanites are living in
the valleys, turn back
tomorrow and head for
the wilderness along
the route to
the Red Sea.”
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which
murmur against me? I have heard
the murmurings of
the children of Israel, which
they murmur against me.
“How long will this wicked congregation
grumble against Me? I have heard
the complaints that
the Israelites are making against Me.
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have
murmured against me,
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in
the census,
everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
Doubtless ye shall not come into
the land, concerning which I
sware to make you dwell
therein, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of
Nun.
Surely none of you will enter
the land in which I
swore to settle you, except
Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of
Nun.
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
them will I bring in, and
they shall know
the land which ye have
despised.
But I will bring your children, whom you said would become
plunder, into
the land you have rejected—and
they will enjoy it.
But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
And your children shall
wander in
the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in
the wilderness.
Your children will be
shepherds in
the wilderness for forty years, and
they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until
the last of your bodies lies in
the wilderness.
After
the number of
the days in which ye searched
the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your
iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
In keeping with
the forty days you
spied out
the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My
alienation.
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
I,
the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do
these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has
conspired against Me.
They will meet
their end in
the wilderness, and
there they will die.”
And
the men, which Moses sent to search
the land, who returned, and made all
the congregation to
murmur against him, by bringing up a
slander upon
the land,
So
the men Moses had sent to
spy out
the land, who had returned and made
the whole congregation
grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about
the land—
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
But Joshua
the son of
Nun, and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of
the men that went to search
the land, lived still.
Of those men who had gone to
spy out
the land, only Joshua son of
Nun and
Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
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.
And
they rose up early in
the morning, and
gat them up into
the top of
the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto
the place which
the LORD hath promised: for we have
sinned.
Early
the next morning
they got up and went up toward
the ridge of
the hill country. “We have indeed
sinned,”
they said, “but we will go to
the place
the LORD has promised.”
And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye
transgress the commandment of
the LORD? but it shall not
prosper.
But Moses said, “Why are you
transgressing the commandment of
the LORD? This will not succeed!
Go not up, for
the LORD is not among you; that ye be not
smitten before your enemies.
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
For
the Amalekites and
the Canaanites are
there before you, and ye shall fall by
the sword: because ye are turned away from
the LORD,
therefore the LORD will not be with you.
For
there the Amalekites and
Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by
the sword. Because you have turned away from
the LORD, He will not be with you.”
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
But
they dared to go up to
the ridge of
the hill country, though neither Moses nor
the ark of
the covenant of
the LORD moved from
the camp.
Then the Amalekites and
Canaanites who lived in that part of
the hill country came down, attacked
them, and routed
them all
the way to Hormah.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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 will make an offering by fire unto
the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a
vow, or in a
freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto
the LORD, of
the herd, or of
the flock:
and you present an offering made by fire to
the LORD from
the herd or flock to produce a pleasing
aroma to
the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special
vow or
freewill offering or appointed feast—
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto
the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with
the fourth part of an
hin of oil.
then the one presenting his offering to
the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an
ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter
hin of olive oil.
And
the fourth part of an
hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with
the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
With
the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter
hin of wine as a drink offering.
