Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab:

2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of theLordwas kindled against Israel.

4 And theLordsaid unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto theLordbefore the sun, that the fierce anger of theLordmay turn away from Israel.

5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.

6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;

8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.

10 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.

15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.

16 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

18 for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.

1 And it came to pass after the plague, that theLordspake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.

3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as theLordcommanded Moses and the children of Israel, which came forth out of the land of Egypt.

53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

54 To the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one according to those that were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given.

55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

56 According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.

61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before theLord.

62 And they that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male 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.

63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest; who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

64 But among these there was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest; who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65 For theLordhad said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,

3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against theLordin the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.

5 And Moses brought their cause before theLord.

6 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.

11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as theLordcommanded Moses.

12 And theLordsaid unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered:

14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

15 And Moses spake unto theLord, saying,

16 Let theLord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

17 which may go out before them, and which may come in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of theLordbe not as sheep which have no shepherd.

18 And theLordsaid unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

20 And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before theLord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

22 And Moses did as theLordcommanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

23 and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as theLordspake by the hand of Moses.

1 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto theLord; he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;

5 and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto theLord.

7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink offering of strong drink unto theLord.

8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto theLord.

9 And on the sabbath day two he-lambs of the first year without blemish, and two tenth partsof an ephahof fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto theLord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish;

14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of an hin for the ram, and the fourth part of an hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

15 And one he-goat for a sin offering unto theLord; it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering thereof.

16 And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is theLord’S passover.

17 And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto theLord: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering thereof.

26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye offer a new meal offering unto theLordin yourfeast ofweeks, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that theLordcommanded Moses.

1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which theLordhath commanded.

2 When a man voweth a vow unto theLord, or sweareth 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.

3 Also when a woman voweth a vow unto theLord, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth;

4 and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and theLordshall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

6 And if she bemarriedto a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul;

7 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

8 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it; then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and theLordshall forgive her.

9 But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced,evenevery thing wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her.

10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them; then 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 theLordshall forgive her.

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

14 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 hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

16 These are the statutes, which theLordcommanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.

1 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute theLord’S vengeance on Midian.

4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

7 And they warred against Midian, as theLordcommanded Moses; and they slew every male.

8 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain; Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

9 And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.

11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, which came from the service of the war.

15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against theLordin the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of theLord.

17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

19 And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.

20 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.

21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which theLordhath commanded Moses:

22 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23 every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to 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 to go through the water.

24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

25 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’housesof the congregation:

27 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation:

28 and levy a tribute unto theLordof the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred,bothof the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks:

29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for theLord’S heave offering.

30 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks,evenof all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of theLord.

31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as theLordcommanded Moses.

32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

34 and threescore and one thousand asses,

35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.

36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep:

37 and theLord’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which theLord’S tribute was threescore and twelve.

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

40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom theLord’S tribute was thirty and two persons.

41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was theLord’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as theLordcommanded Moses.

42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred,

43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,

45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,

46 and sixteen thousand persons;)

47 even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of theLord; as theLordcommanded Moses.

48 And the officers which were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

49 and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

50 And we have brought theLord’S oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, earrings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before theLord.

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

52 And all the gold of the heave offering that they offered up to theLord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

53 (Forthe men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before theLord.

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 the land which theLordsmote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.

5 And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over Jordan.

6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which theLordhath given them?

8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 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 theLordhad given them.

10 And theLord’S anger was kindled in that day, and he sware, saying,

11 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:

12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun: because they have wholly followed theLord.

13 And theLord’S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of theLord, was consumed.

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of theLordtoward Israel.

15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing; If ye will arm yourselves to go before theLordto the war,

21 and every armed man of you will pass over Jordan before theLord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

22 and the land be subdued before theLord: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards theLord, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession before theLord.

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against theLord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before theLordto battle, as my lord saith.

28 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’housesof the tribes of the children of Israel.

29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before theLord, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As theLordhath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

32 We will pass over armed before theLordinto the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritanceshall remainwith us beyond Jordan.

33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof withtheirborders, even the cities of the land round about.

34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;

35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;

36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fenced cities, and folds for sheep.

37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;

38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites which were therein.

40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.

42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of theLord: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.

3 And they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,

4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which theLordhad smitten among them: upon their gods also theLordexecuted judgments.

5 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

6 And they journeyed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

7 And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

8 And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

9 And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.

10 And they journeyed from Elim, and pitched by the Red Sea.

11 And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and pitched in the wilderness of Sin.

12 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched in Dophkah.

13 And they journeyed from Dophkah, and pitched in Alush.

14 And they journeyed from Alush, and pitched in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

15 And they journeyed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.

16 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and pitched in Kibroth-hattaavah.

17 And they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and pitched in Hazeroth.

18 And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

19 And they journeyed from Rithmah, and pitched in Rimmon-perez.

20 And they journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and pitched in Libnah.

21 And they journeyed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah.

22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

23 And they journeyed from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shepher.

24 And they journeyed from mount Shepher, and pitched in Haradah.

25 And they journeyed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

26 And they journeyed from Makheloth, and pitched in Tahath.

27 And they journeyed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah.

28 And they journeyed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah.

29 And they journeyed from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

30 And they journeyed from Hashmonah, and pitched in Moseroth.

31 And they journeyed from Moseroth, and pitch in Bene-jaakan.

32 And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and pitched in Hor-haggidgad.

33 And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

34 And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and pitched in Abronah.

35 And they journeyed from Abronah, and pitched in Ezion-geber.

36 And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh).

37 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of theLord, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

40 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

41 And they journeyed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

42 And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

43 And they journeyed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

44 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab.

45 And they journeyed from Iyim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.

46 And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and pitched in Almon-diblathaim.

47 And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48 And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

50 And theLordspake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52 then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figuredstones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:

53 and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein: for unto you have I given the land to possess it.

54 And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.

55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then shall those which ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

56 And it shall come to pass, that as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.

1 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof,)

3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward:

4 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin: and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon:

5 and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.

6 And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the borderthereof: this shall be your west border.

7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor:

8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entering in of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad:

9 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

10 And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:

11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

12 and the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which theLordhath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:

15 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

19 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod:

24 and of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

29 These are they whom theLordcommanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
