Bamidbar
1:1The LORD spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent
of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after
they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
1:2"Take
a census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
every male, one by one; 1:3from twenty years
old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Yisra'el. You and
Aharon shall number them by their divisions.
1:4With
you there shall be a man of every tribe; everyone head of his fathers'
house. 1:5These are the names of the men who shall stand with you:
Of Re'uven: Elitzur the son of Shede'ur.
1:6Of Shim`on: Shelumi'el the son of Tzurishaddai.
1:7Of Yehudah: Nachshon the son of `Amminadav.

1:11Of Binyamin: Avidan the son of Gid`oni.

1:13Of Asher: Pag`i'el the son of `Okhran.
1:14Of Gad: Elyasaf the son of De`u'el.
1:15Of Naftali: Achira the son of `Enan."
1:16These are those who were called of the congregation, the princes
of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of
Yisra'el. 1:17Moshe and Aharon took these men who are mentioned by name.
1:18They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of
the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by
their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, one by one. 1:19As the LORD
commanded Moshe, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
1:20The children of Re'uven, Yisra'el's firstborn, their generations,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of
the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all
who were able to go out to war; 1:21those who were
numbered of them, of the tribe of Re'uven, were forty-six thousand five
hundred.
1:22Of the children of Shim`on, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, those who were numbered of it, according to the
number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and
upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:23those
who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Shim`on, were fifty-nine
thousand three hundred.

their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:25those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were
forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.

by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from

1:27those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Yehudah, were
sixty-four thousand six hundred.
1:28Of the children of Yissakhar, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:29those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Yissakhar, were
fifty-four thousand four hundred.
1:30Of the children of Zevulun, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:31those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zevulun, were
fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 1:32Of the children
of Yosef, of the children of Efrayim, their generations, by thir families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:33those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Efrayim, were
forty thousand five hundred.
1:34Of the children of Menashsheh, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:35those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Menashsheh, were
thirty-two thousand two hundred.
1:36Of the children of Binyamin, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
1:37those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Binyamin, were
thirty-five thousand four hundred.
1:38Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families, by
their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
1:39those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were
sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
1:40Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
1:41those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher, were

twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
1:43those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naftali, were
fifty-three thousand four hundred.
1:44These are those who were numbered, whom Moshe and Aharon
numbered, and the princes of Yisra'el, being twelve men: they were each
one for his fathers' house. 1:45So all those who
were numbered of the children of Yisra'el by their fathers' houses, from
twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in
Yisra'el; 1:46even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand
five hundred fifty. 1:47But the Levites
after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
1:48For the LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
1:49"Only
the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of
them among the children of Yisra'el;
1:50but
appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its
furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the
tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and
shall encamp around it. 1:51When the
tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the
tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who
comes near shall be put to death. 1:52The children of
Yisra'el shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man
by his own standard, according to their divisions.
1:53But
the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that
there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Yisra'el: and
the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."
1:54Thus the children of Yisra'el did. According to all that the LORD
commanded Moshe, so they did.
2:1The LORD spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
2:2"The children of Yisra'el shall encamp every man by his own
standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses: at a distance from
the tent of meeting shall they encamp around it."
2:3Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of
the standard of the camp of Yehudah, according to their divisions: and the
prince of the children of Yehudah shall be Nachshon the son of `Amminadav.
2:4His division, and those who were numbered of them, were
seventy-four thousand six hundred.
2:5Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Yissakhar: and
the prince of the children of Yissakhar shall be Netan'el the son of
Tzu`ar. 2:6His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four
thousand four hundred.
2:7The tribe of Zevulun: and the prince of the children of Zevulun
shall be Eli'av the son of Chelon. 2:8His division, and
those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
2:9All who were numbered of the camp of Yehudah were one hundred
eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions. They shall
set out first.
2:10"On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Re'uven
according to their divisions. The prince of the children of Re'uven shall
be Elitzur the son of Shede'ur. 2:11His division, and
those who were numbered of it, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
2:12"Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Shim`on. The
prince of the children of Shim`on shall be Shelumi'el the son of
Tzurishaddai.
2:13His division, and those who were
numbered of them, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
2:14"The tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad shall be
Elyasaf the son of Re`u'el. 2:15His division, and
those who were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred
fifty.
2:16"All who were numbered of the camp of Re'uven were one hundred
fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their hosts. They
shall set out second.
2:17"Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the
Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set out,
every man in his place, by their standards.
2:18"On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Efrayim
according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Efrayim
shall be Elishama the son of `Ammihud.
2:19His
division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty thousand five
hundred.
2:20"Next to him shall be the tribe of Menashsheh: and the prince of
the children of Menashsheh shall be Gamli'el the son of Pedatzur.
2:21His division, and those who were numbered of them, were
thirty-two thousand two hundred.
2:22"The tribe of Binyamin: and the prince of the children of
Binyamin shall be Avidan the son of Gid`oni.
2:23His
host, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four
hundred.
2:24"All who were numbered of the camp of Efrayim were one hundred
eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions. They shall set
out third.
2:25"On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan
according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Dan shall
be Achi`ezer the son of `Ammishaddai.
2:26His
division, and those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand
seven hundred.
2:27"Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher: and
the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pag`i'el the son of `Okhran.
2:28His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-one
thousand and five hundred.
2:29"The tribe of Naftali: and the prince of the children of Naftali
shall be Achira the son of `Enan. 2:30His division, and
those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
2:31"All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred
fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last by their
standards."
2:32These are those who were numbered of the children of Yisra'el by
their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according to
their hosts were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
2:33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Yisra'el;
as the LORD commanded Moshe.
2:34Thus the children of Yisra'el did. According to all that the LORD
commanded Moshe, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out,
everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.
3:1Now this is the history of the generations of Aharon and Moshe in
the day that the LORD spoke with Moshe in Mount Sinai.
3:2These are the names of the sons of Aharon: Nadav the firstborn,
and Avihu, El`azar, and Itamar.
3:3These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the
kohanim who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the
kohen's office. 3:4Nadav and Avihu
died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in
the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. El`azar and Itamar
ministered in the kohen's office in the presence of
Aharon their father.
3:5The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
3:6"Bring
the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aharon the kohen,
that they may minister to him. 3:7They shall keep
his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the Tent of
Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
3:8They
shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations
of the children of Yisra'el, to do the service of the tabernacle.
3:9You shall give the Levites to Aharon and to his sons. They are
wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Yisra'el.
3:10You shall appoint Aharon and his sons, and they shall keep their
priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
3:11The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
3:12"Behold,
I have taken the Levites from among the children of Yisra'el instead of
all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Yisra'el; and
the Levites shall be mine: 3:13for all the
firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Yisra'el, both man
and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD."
3:14The LORD spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
3:15"Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their
families: every male from a month old and upward shall you number."
3:16Moshe numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was
commanded.
3:17These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kehat,
and Merari.
3:18These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families:
Livni and Shim`i.
3:19The sons of Kehat by their families: `Amram, and Yitzhar,
Chevron, and `Uzzi'el.
3:20The sons of Merari by their families: Machli and Mushi.
These are the families of the Levites according to their
fathers' houses.
3:21Of Gershon was the family of the Livni, and the family of the
Shim`i: these are the families of the Gershoni.
3:22Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of
them were seven thousand five hundred.
3:23The families of the Gershoni shall encamp behind the tabernacle
westward.
3:24The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershoni shall be Elyasaf
the son of La'el.
3:25The charge of the sons of Gershon
in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, its
covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
3:26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the
court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords for
all of its service.
3:27Of Kehat was the family of the `Amrami, and the family of the
Izharites, and the family of the Chevroni, and the family of the `Uzzi'eli:
these are the families of the Kehati.
3:28According
to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were
eight thousand six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
3:29The families of the sons of Kehat shall encamp on the south side
of the tabernacle.
3:30The prince of the fathers' house
of the families of the Kehati shall be Elitzafan the son of `Uzzi'el.
3:31Their charge shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the
altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the
screen, and all its service. 3:32El`azar the son
of Aharon the kohen shall be prince of the princes of
the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge of the
sanctuary.
3:33Of Merari was the family of the Machli, and the family of the
Mushi. These are the families of Merari.
3:34Those
who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from
a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
3:35The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was
Tzuri'el the son of Avichayil. They shall encamp on the north side of the
tabernacle.
3:36The appointed charge of the sons of
Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its
sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
3:37the
pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their
cords. 3:38Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the
Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moshe, and Aharon and his
sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children
of Yisra'el. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
3:39All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moshe and Aharon
numbered at the mitzvah of the LORD, by their families,
all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
3:40The LORD said to Moshe, "Number all the firstborn males of the
children of Yisra'el from a month old and upward, and take the number of
their names.
3:41You shall take the Levites for me (I
am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Yisra'el;
and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
cattle of the children of Yisra'el."
3:42Moshe numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Yisra'el. 3:43All the firstborn
males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of
those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred
seventy-three.
3:44The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
3:45"Take
the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Yisra'el,
and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites
shall be mine. I am the LORD. 3:46For the
redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the
children of Yisra'el, who exceed the number of the Levites,
3:47you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel
of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
3:48and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is
redeemed, to Aharon and to his sons."
3:49Moshe took the redemption money from those who exceeded the
number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
3:50from
the firstborn of the children of Yisra'el he took the money, one thousand
three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
3:51and Moshe gave the redemption money to Aharon and to his sons,
according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
4:1The LORD spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
4:2"Take a census of the sons of Kehat from among the sons of Levi,
by their families, by their fathers' houses,
4:3from
thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into
the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
4:4This
is the service of the sons of Kehat in the Tent of Meeting, the most holy
things. 4:5When the camp moves forward, Aharon shall go in, and his sons,
and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the
Testimony with it,
4:6and shall put a covering of
sealskin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall
put in its poles.
4:7On the table of show bread they
shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the
bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall
be on it. 4:8They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same
with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
4:9They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the menorah of the light,
and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all its oil
vessels, with which they minister to it.
4:10They
shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall
put it on the frame. 4:11On the golden
altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of
sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
4:12They
shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the
sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of
sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
4:13They
shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
4:14They shall put on it all its vessels, with which they minister
about it, the fire pans, the flesh hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all
the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of
sealskin, and put in its poles.
4:15"When Aharon and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary,
and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after
that, the sons of Kehat shall come to carry it: but they shall not touch
the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of
Kehat in the Tent of Meeting.
4:16"The charge of El`azar the son of Aharon the kohen
shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal
offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of
all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings."
4:17The LORD spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
4:18"Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kehati from among
the Levites;
4:19but thus do to them, that they may
live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aharon and
his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his service and to his
burden; 4:20but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment,
lest they die."
4:21The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
4:22"Take
a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their
families; 4:23from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall you
number them; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in
the Tent of Meeting. 4:24This is the
service of the families of the Gershoni, in serving and in bearing
burdens: 4:25they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of
Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it,
and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
4:26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the
gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and
their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall
be done with them. Therein shall they serve.
4:27At
the mitzvah of Aharon and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershoni, in all their burden, and in all their
service; and you shall appoint to them in charge all their burden.
4:28This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershoni
in the Tent of Meeting: and their charge shall be under the hand of Itamar
the son of Aharon the kohen.
4:29"As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their
families, by their fathers' houses;
4:30from
thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shall you number them,
everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
4:31This is the charge of their burden, according to all their
service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its
pillars, its sockets, 4:32and the pillars
of the court around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their
cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name
you shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden.
4:33This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of
Itamar the son of Aharon the kohen."
4:34Moshe and Aharon and the princes of the congregation numbered the
sons of the Kehati by their families, and by their fathers' houses,
4:35from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting.
4:36Those who were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred fifty. 4:37These are those
who were numbered of the families of the Kehati, all who served in the
Tent of Meeting, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered according to the
mitzvah of the LORD by Moshe.
4:38Those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families,
and by their fathers' houses, 4:39from thirty years
old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the
service, for work in the Tent of Meeting,
4:40even
those who were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty.
4:41These
are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all
who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered
according to the mitzvah of the LORD.
4:42Those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by
their families, by their fathers' houses,
4:43from
thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered
into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting,
4:44even
those who were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand two
hundred. 4:45These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of
Merari, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered according to the
mitzvah of the LORD by Moshe. 4:46All those who
were numbered of the Levites, whom Moshe and Aharon and the princes of
Yisra'el numbered, by their families, and by their fathers' houses,
4:47from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing
burdens in the Tent of Meeting, 4:48even those who
were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty.
4:49According to the mitzvah of the LORD they were
numbered by Moshe, everyone according to his service, and according to his
burden. Thus were they numbered by him, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
5:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
5:2"Command
the children of Yisra'el that they put out of the camp every leper, and
everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead.
5:3Both male and female shall you put out, outside of the camp shall
you put them; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I
dwell."
5:4The children of Yisra'el did so, and put them out outside of the
camp; as the LORD spoke to Moshe, so did the children of Yisra'el.
5:5The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
5:6"Speak
to the children of Yisra'el: When a man or woman commits any sin that men
commit, so as to trespass against the LORD, and that soul is guilty;
5:7then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of
it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
5:8But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for
the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to the LORD shall be
the kohen's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which
atonement shall be made for him. 5:9Every heave
offering of all the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they
present to the kohen, shall be his.
5:10Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the
kohen, it shall be his."
5:11The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
5:12"Speak
to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them: If any man's wife goes astray,
and is unfaithful to him, 5:13and a man lies
with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is
kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and
she isn't taken in the act; 5:14and the spirit of
jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled:
or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife,
and she isn't defiled: 5:15then the man
shall bring his wife to the kohen, and shall bring her
offering for her: the tenth part of an efah of barley meal. He shall pour
no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of
jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
5:16The kohen shall bring her near, and set her
before the LORD;
5:17and the kohen
shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the
floor of the tabernacle the kohen shall take, and put
it into the water.
5:18The kohen
shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of the woman's head
go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the
meal offering of jealousy. The kohen shall have in his
hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
5:19The
kohen shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the
woman, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to
uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of
bitterness that brings a curse. 5:20But if you have
gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some
man has lain with you besides your husband:'
5:21then
the kohen shall cause the woman to swear with the oath
of cursing, and the kohen shall tell the woman, 'The
LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD allows
your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
5:22and
this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your
body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall say, 'Amein,
Amein.'
5:23"The kohen shall write these curses in a book,
and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
5:24He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes
the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and
become bitter.
5:25The kohen
shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and
shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
5:26The kohen shall take a handful of the meal
offering, as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward
shall make the woman drink the water.
5:27When
he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled,
and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that
causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will
swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among
her people.
5:28If the woman isn't defiled, but is
clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29"This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
5:30or
when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife;
then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the kohen
shall execute on her all this law. 5:31The man shall be
free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity."
6:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
6:2"Speak
to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them: When either man or woman shall
make a special vow, the vow of a Nazir, to separate himself to the LORD,
6:3he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he
drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
6:4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made
of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
6:5"All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come
on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself
to the LORD. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his
head grow long.
6:6"All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not
go near a dead body. 6:7He shall not make
himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for
his sister, when they die; because his separation to G-d is on his head.
6:8All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.
6:9"If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the
head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his
cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
6:10On
the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the
kohen, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
6:11The kohen shall offer one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he
sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.
6:12He shall separate to the LORD the days of his separation, and
shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former
days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
6:13"This is the law of the Nazir: when the days of his separation
are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
6:14and he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male lamb a year
old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for shalom
offerings,
6:15and a basket of matzah,
cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with
oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.
6:16The kohen shall present them before the LORD,
and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
6:17He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of shalom offerings to the
LORD, with the basket of matzah. The
kohen shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
6:18The Nazir shall shave the head of his separation at the door of
the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of shalom
offerings.
6:19The kohen shall
take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the
basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the
Nazir, after he has shaved the head of his separation;
6:20and the kohen shall wave them for a wave
offering before the LORD. This is holy for the kohen,
together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered.
After that the Nazir may drink wine.
6:21"This is the law of the Nazir who vows, and of his offering to
the LORD for his separation, besides that which he is able to get.
According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his
separation."
6:22The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
6:23"Speak
to Aharon and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the
children of Yisra'el.' You shall tell them,
6:24'The LORD bless you, and keep you.
6:25The LORD make his face to shine on you,
And be gracious to you.
6:26The LORD lift up his face toward you,
And give you shalom.'
6:27"So they shall put my name on the children of Yisra'el; and I
will bless them."
7:1It happened on the day that Moshe had finished setting up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture,
and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them;
7:2that the princes of Yisra'el, the heads of their fathers' houses,
offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were
over those who were numbered: 7:3and they brought
their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a
wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they
presented them before the tabernacle.
7:4The
LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 7:5"Accept these from
them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting;
and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his
service."
7:6Moshe took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7:7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon,
according to their service: 7:8and he gave four
wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service,
under the direction of Itamar the son of Aharon the kohen.
7:9But to the sons of Kehat he gave none, because the service of the
sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
7:10The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in the
day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings before the
altar.
7:11The LORD said to Moshe, "They shall offer their offering, each
prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar."

7:89When Moshe went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with the LORD,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on
the ark of the Testimony, from between the two Keruvim: and he spoke to
him.
8:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
8:2"Speak
to Aharon, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall
give light in front of the menorah.'"
8:3Aharon did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the
menorah, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
8:4This
was the workmanship of the menorah, beaten work of gold. From its base to
its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD
had shown Moshe, so he made the menorah.
8:5The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
8:6"Take
the Levites from among the children of Yisra'el, and cleanse them.
8:7Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of
cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let
them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8:8Then
let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with
oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
8:9You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You
shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Yisra'el.
8:10You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of
Yisra'el shall lay their hands on the Levites,
8:11and
Aharon shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering, on the
behalf of the children of Yisra'el, that it may be theirs to do the
service of the LORD. 8:12The Levites shall
lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make
atonement for the Levites. 8:13You shall set the
Levites before Aharon, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave
offering to the LORD. 8:14Thus you shall
separate the Levites from among the children of Yisra'el, and the Levites
shall be mine.
8:15"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the
Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave
offering. 8:16For they are wholly given to me from among the children of
Yisra'el; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the
children of Yisra'el, I have taken them to me.
8:17For
all the firstborn among the children of Yisra'el are mine, both man and
animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I
sanctified them for myself. 8:18I have taken the
Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Yisra'el.
8:19I have given the Levites as a gift to Aharon and to his sons from
among the children of Yisra'el, to do the service of the children of
Yisra'el in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of
Yisra'el; that there be no plague among the children of Yisra'el, when the
children of Yisra'el come near to the sanctuary."
8:20Thus did Moshe, and Aharon, and all the congregation of the
children of Yisra'el, to the Levites. According to all that the LORD
commanded Moshe concerning the Levites, so the children of Yisra'el did to
them. 8:21The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their
clothes; and Aharon offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; and
Aharon made atonement for them to cleanse them.
8:22After
that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting
before Aharon, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moshe
concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
8:23The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
8:24"This
is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and
upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of
Meeting; 8:25and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the
work, and shall serve no more, 8:26but shall
minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge,
and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their
duties."
9:1The LORD spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,
saying, 9:2"Moreover let the children of Yisra'el keep the Pesach in its
appointed season.
9:3On the fourteenth day of this
month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season-- according
to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep
it."
9:4Moshe spoke to the children of Yisra'el, that they should keep
the Pesach. 9:5They kept the Pesach in the first month, on the fourteenth day of
the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that
the LORD commanded Moshe, so the children of Yisra'el did.
9:6There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body
of a man, so that they could not keep the Pesach on that day, and they
came before Moshe and before Aharon on that day.
9:7Those
men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why
are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its
appointed season among the children of Yisra'el?"
9:8Moshe answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will
command concerning you."
9:9The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
9:10"Say
to the children of Yisra'el, 'If any man of you or of your generations is
unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall
still keep the Pesach to the LORD. 9:11In the second
month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat
it with matzah and bitter herbs.
9:12They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone
of it. According to all the statute of the Pesach they shall keep it.
9:13But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to
keep the Pesach, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he
didn't offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man
shall bear his sin. 9:14If a foreigner
lives among you, and desires to keep the Pesach to the LORD; according to
the statute of the Pesach, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do.
You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is
born in the land.'"
9:15On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered
the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over
the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
9:16So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance
of fire by night.
9:17Whenever the cloud was taken up
from over the Tent, then after that the children of Yisra'el traveled; and
in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Yisra'el
encamped. 9:18At the mitzvah of the LORD, the children of
Yisra'el traveled, and at the mitzvah of the LORD they
encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained
encamped. 9:19When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Yisra'el kept the charge of the LORD, and didn't travel.
9:20Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then
according to the mitzvah of the LORD they remained
encamped, and according to the mitzv
