\v 9 And thou shalt give by free gift the Levites to Aaron and to his sons, to whom they be given \sls (out)\sls* of the sons of Israel. \sls (And thou shalt give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons, to whom they be given from all the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 Soothly thou shalt ordain Aaron and his sons on the religion of priesthood; a stranger that nigheth for to minister, shall die. \sls (And thou shalt ordain Aaron and his sons to serve in the priesthood; a stranger who cometh near to try to minister, shall be put to death.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And the Lord spake to Moses, saying,
\p
\v 12 I have taken the Levites \sls (out)\sls* of the sons of Israel for each first engendered \sls (male)\sls* thing that openeth the womb in the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,

\v 35 the prince of them \em shall be\em* Zuriel, the son of Abihail; they shall set their tents in the north coast. \sls (their leader \+em shall be\+em* Zuriel, the son of Abihail; and they shall pitch their tents on the north side of the Tabernacle.)\sls*

\v 36 And under the keeping of them shall be the tables of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars, and the foundaments of those, and all things that pertain to such adorning, \sls (And the sons of Merari shall be in charge of the tables of the Tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars, and their foundations, \+em or their bases\+em*, and all the things in the service thereof,)\sls*

\v 38 Forsooth Moses, and Aaron with his sons, shall set \em their\em* tents before the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace, that is, at the east coast, and shall have the keeping of the saintuary, in the midst of the sons of Israel; whatever alien nigheth \em thereto\em*, he shall die. \sls (And Moses, and Aaron with his sons, shall pitch \+em their\+em* tents in front of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, that is, on the east side, and they shall be in charge of the sanctuary, on behalf of the Israelites; and any stranger who cometh near \+em to it\+em*, shall be put to death.)\sls*
\p
\v 39 All the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered, by the commandment of the Lord, by their families, in male kind, from one month and above, were two and twenty thousand. \sls (And the number of all the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron listed, \+em or registered\+em*, by the Lord’s command, by their families, all the males from one month of age and older, was twenty-two thousand.)\sls*
\p
\v 40 And the Lord said to Moses, Number thou the first begotten of male kind of the sons of Israel, from one month and above \sls (or from one month of age and older)\sls*; and thou shalt have the sum, \em or the number\em*, of them;
\p
\v 41 and thou shalt take the Levites to me for all the first begotten of the sons of Israel; I am the Lord; and \em thou shalt take\em* their beasts \sls (to me)\sls* for all the first begotten of the sons of Israel. \sls (and thou shalt give me the Levites in place of all the first-born sons of the Israelites; I am the Lord; and \+em thou shalt give\+em* me the beasts of the Levites, in place of all the first-born male beasts of the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 42 And as the Lord commanded, Moses numbered the first begotten \sls (male)\sls* children of the sons of Israel;
\p
\v 43 and the males were by their names, from one month and above, two and twenty thousand two hundred and seventy and three. \sls (and the number of the males, listed by their names, from one month of age and older, was twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three.)\sls*
\p
\v 44 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 45 Take thou the Levites for the first begotten of the sons of Israel, and take the beasts of the Levites for the beasts of them, and the Levites shall be mine; I am the Lord. \sls (Now give me the Levites in place of all the first-born sons of the Israelites, and the beasts of the Levites in place of the first-born male beasts of the Israelites, and so the Levites shall be mine; I am the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 46 Forsooth in the price of two hundred and seventy and three \em persons\em*, that pass the number of the Levites, of the first begotten \sls (sons)\sls* of the sons of Israel, \sls (And as payment to buy back the two hundred and seventy-three \+em persons\+em*, of the first-born sons of the Israelites, who surpass the number of the Levites,)\sls*
\p
\v 47 thou shalt take five shekels by each head, at the measure of the saintuary, \sls (or thou shalt take five shekels for each one, by the measure of the sanctuary)\sls*; a shekel hath twenty halfpence;
\p
\v 48 and thou shalt give the money to Aaron and to his sons, the price of them that be \em numbered\em* above \sls (the number of the Levites)\sls*. \sls (and thou shalt give this money to Aaron and to his sons, as payment for those who be \+em listed, or registered\+em*, above the number of the Levites.)\sls*
\p
\v 49 Therefore Moses took the money of them that were \em numbered\em* above, and which they had again-bought of the Levites, \sls (And so Moses took the money for the first-born sons of the Israelites, who surpassed the number of the Levites, and so had to be bought back, \+em or ransomed, or redeemed\+em*,)\sls*
\p
\v 50 for the first begotten \sls (sons)\sls* of the sons of Israel, a thousand three hundred and sixty and five of shekels, by the weight of the saintuary; \sls (in all, a thousand and three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the measure of the sanctuary;)\sls*
\p
\v 51 and he gave that \em money\em* to Aaron and to his sons, by the word that the Lord commanded to him.

\p
\v 4 This is the religion of the sons of Kohath; Aaron and his sons shall enter into the tabernacle of the bond of peace, and into the holy of holy things, \sls (This is the service of the sons of Kohath; Aaron and his sons shall enter into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, and into the Most Holy Place, \+em or the Holy of Holies\+em*,)\sls*

\p
\v 9 They shall take also a mantle of jacinth with which they shall cover the candlestick, with his lanterns, and tongs, and snuffers, and all the oil vessels that be needful to the lanterns to be ordained; \sls (And they shall take a blue mantle with which they shall cover the lampstand, with its lanterns, and tongs, and snuffers, and all the oil vessels that be needed for the lanterns to be lit;)\sls*

\v 3 cast ye out of the tents, as well a male as a female, lest they defoul those, when they dwell with you. \sls (throw ye out of the camp, a female as well as a male, lest they defile all the tents, where I live among you.)\sls*

\v 4 And the sons of Israel did so \sls (or And the Israelites did so)\sls*; and they putted them out of the tents, as the Lord spake to Moses.

\p
\v 15 the man shall bring her to the priest, and he shall offer an offering for her, the tenth part of a measure called \sls (a)\sls* saton of barley meal; he shall not pour oil thereupon, neither he shall put incense \em thereto\em*, for it is the sacrifice of jealousy, and an offering inquiring \sls (about)\sls* adultery. \sls (the husband shall bring her to the priest, and he shall offer an offering for her, the tenth of a measure called a seah of barley meal, \+em that is, the tenth of an ephah\+em*; he shall not pour oil on it, nor shall he put incense \+em on it\+em*, for it is an offering for jealousy, and an offering to inquire about adultery.)\sls*

\p
\v 1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 2 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When a man either a woman maketh a vow, that they be hallowed, and they will hallow themselves to the Lord, \sls (Say thou to the Israelites, When a man or a woman maketh a vow, that they will become a Nazarite, and they will consecrate, \+em or will dedicate\+em*, themselves to the Lord,)\sls*
\p
\v 3 they shall abstain from wine, and from all thing that may make drunken; they shall not drink vinegar of wine, and of anything able to make drunken, and whatever thing is pressed out of the grape; they shall not eat fresh grapes and dry, \sls (they shall abstain from wine, and from all things that can make them drunk; they shall not drink wine vinegar, or any other thing that is able to make them drunk, or whatever is pressed out of the grape; they shall not eat fresh grapes, or dried grapes,)\sls*
\p
\v 4 all \add [the]\add* days in which they be hallowed by a vow to the Lord; they shall not eat whatever thing may be of the vinery, from the rind till to the little grains that be in the midst of the grape.
\p
\v 5 All the time of his separating, \em or of his avow holding\em*, a razor shall not pass upon his head, unto the day\sls (s)\sls* be fulfilled in which he is hallowed to the Lord; he shall be holy, and the hair of his head shall wax. \sls (All the time of his separation, \+em or of the keeping of his vow\+em*, a razor shall not pass over his head, until the days be fulfilled in which he is consecrated, \+em or is dedicated\+em*, to the Lord; he shall be holy, and his head hair shall grow.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 In all the time of his hallowing \sls (or In all the time of his consecration, \+em or his dedication\+em*)\sls*, he shall not enter upon a dead body,
\p
\v 7 and soothly he shall not be defouled upon the dead body of his father and of his mother, of brother and of sister, for the hallowing of his God is upon his head; \sls (yea, he shall not even be defiled with the dead body of his own father or his mother, or his brother or his sister, for the consecration of his God is upon his head;)\sls*
\p
\v 8 each day of his separating, \em or avowing\em*, shall be holy to the Lord.
\p
\v 9 But if any man is dead suddenly before him, the head of his hallowing shall be defouled, which he shall shave anon in the same day of his cleansing, and again in the seventh day; \sls (But if anyone is suddenly dead before him, the hair of his consecration shall be defiled, and he shall shave it off on the day of his cleansing, that is, on the seventh day afterward;)\sls*
\p
\v 10 forsooth in the eighth day he shall offer two turtles, either two birds of a culver, to the priest, in the entering of the bond of peace of witnessing. \sls (then on the eighth day, he shall offer two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, \+em that is, the Tabernacle of the Witnessing\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And the priest shall make, \em or offer\em*, one for sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice; and the priest shall pray for him, for he sinned upon a dead body, and he shall hallow his head in that day. \sls (And the priest shall offer one of the birds for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt sacrifice, and so the priest shall make amends for him, for he sinned through contact with a dead body; and then he shall consecrate his head again on that day.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 And he shall hallow to the Lord the days of his separating, and he shall offer a lamb of one year for his sin, so nevertheless that the former days be made void, for his hallowing is defouled. \sls (And he shall rededicate the days of his separation to the Lord, and he shall offer a one-year-old lamb for his sin, nevertheless the former days shall be made void, for the hair of his consecration was defiled.)\sls*
\p
\v 13 This is the law of hallowing.

\p
\v 17 Soothly he shall offer the ram \sls (as)\sls* a peaceable sacrifice to the Lord, and he shall offer therewith a basket of therf loaves, and flowing sacrifices, that be due by custom. \sls (And he shall offer the ram as a peace offering to the Lord, and he shall offer a basket of unleavened bread with it, and the grain and wine offerings, that be due by custom.)\sls*
\p
\v 18 Then the Nazarite, \em or he that is hallowed\em*, shall be shaven from the hair of his hallowing, before the door of the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace; and \em the priest\em* shall take his hairs, and he shall put them upon the fire, which is put under the sacrifice of peaceable things. \sls (Then the Nazarite, \+em that is, he who is consecrated\+em*, shall shave off the hair of his consecration, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant; and \+em the priest\+em* shall take his hair, and he shall put it on the fire which is under the peace offering.)\sls*
\p
\v 19 And \em he shall take\em* the shoulder sodden of the ram, and one therf cake from the basket, and one \add [thin]\add* therf cake first sodden in water and afterward fried in oil, and he shall betake \em them\em* into the hands of the Nazarite, after that his head is shaven. \sls (And \+em he shall take\+em* the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake from the basket, and one thin unleavened wafer first boiled in water and then fried in oil, and he shall put \+em them\+em* into the hands of the Nazarite, after that he hath shaved his head.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 And the priest shall raise \sls (up)\sls* in the sight of the Lord the things taken again of him. And those things hallowed shall be the priest’s \em part\em*, as the breast which is commanded to be separated, and the hip. After these things the Nazarite may \sls (again)\sls* drink wine. \sls (And then the priest shall take these things from him, and raise them up as a special gift before the Lord. And these consecrated things shall be the priest’s \+em portion\+em*, including the special gift of the breast, and the special contribution of the leg. And after these things be done, the Nazarite can drink wine again.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 This is the law of the Nazarite, when he hath avowed his offering to the Lord, in the time of his consecration, \em or hallowing\em*, besides these things which his hand findeth.

\p
\v 22 And the Lord spake to Moses and said,

\p
\v 1 And it was done in the day in which Moses fulfilled, \em or ended\em*, the tabernacle, and areared it, and anointed it, and hallowed it with all the vessels, \em or instruments\em*, thereof, and the altar \em he hallowed\em* in like manner, and the vessels thereof. \sls (And it was done on the day in which Moses finished the Tabernacle, and raised it up, that he anointed it, and consecrated it, \+em or dedicated it\+em*, and all of its vessels, \+em or its instruments\+em*, and the altar, and its vessels.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 And the princes of Israel, and the heads of families, that were, by all lineages, the sovereigns of them that were numbered, \sls (And the leaders of Israel, that is, the heads of the families, who were, by all the tribes, the rulers of those who were listed, \+em or were registered\+em*,)\sls*
\p
\v 3 offered gifts before the Lord, six wains covered, with twelve oxen; two dukes offered one wain, and each offered one ox. And they offered those \em wains\em* before the tabernacle. \sls (brought their offerings before the Lord, in six covered wagons, with twelve oxen; two leaders, \+em or two chief men\+em*, offered one wagon, and each offered one ox. And they brought those \+em wagons\+em* to the front of the Tabernacle.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 Soothly the Lord said to Moses,
\p
\v 5 Take thou of them, that they serve in the service of the tabernacle, and betake thou those things to the deacons, by the order of their service. \sls (Receive thou these gifts from them, to use in service for the Tabernacle, and give thou them to the Levites, according to the order of their service.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 And so when Moses had taken the wains, and the oxen, he betook them to the deacons. \sls (And so when Moses had received the wagons, and the oxen, he gave them to the Levites.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 He gave two wains and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, after that \sls (that)\sls* they had need \sls (of)\sls*.
\p
\v 8 He gave four other wains and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, by their offices and religion \sls (or for their duties and their service)\sls*, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron, the priest.
\p
\v 9 Forsooth he gave not wains and oxen to the sons of Kohath, for they serve in the saintuary, and bear the charges with their own shoulders. \sls (But he did not give any wagons or oxen to the sons of Kohath, for they serve in the sanctuary, and carry the loads with their own shoulders.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 Therefore the dukes offered, in the hallowing of the altar, in the day in which it was anointed, their offering to the Lord, before the altar. \sls (And so the leaders offered, for the dedication of the altar, on the day in which it was anointed, their offering to the Lord, before the altar.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And the Lord said to Moses, All the dukes by themselves offer they gifts, by all days by themselves, into the hallowing of the altar. \sls (And the Lord said to Moses, Have all the leaders offer their gifts, one by one, in the days that follow, for the dedication of the altar.)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 8
\p
\v 1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 2 Speak thou to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, When thou hast set \sls (up)\sls* the seven lanterns, the candlestick \sls (should)\sls* be raised \sls (up)\sls* in the south part; therefore command thou this, that the lanterns behold even against the north to the board of \add [the]\add* loaves of setting forth, \sls (so that)\sls* those lanterns shall shine against that part that the candlestick beholdeth to. \sls (Speak thou to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, When thou putteth the lanterns onto the lampstand, put them so that their light shineth out towards the front.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 And Aaron did so, and he putted the lanterns upon the candlestick \sls (or and he put the lanterns on the lampstand)\sls*, as the Lord commanded to Moses.
\p
\v 4 Soothly this was the making of the candlestick; \em it was\em* of gold beaten out with hammers, as well the middle stalk, as all the things that came forth on ever either side of the rods; by the sample which the Lord showed to Moses, so he wrought the candlestick. \sls (And this was the making of the lampstand; \+em it was\+em* made of gold, beaten out with hammers, the middle stem, as well as all of its branches; by the example, \+em or the pattern\+em*, which the Lord had shown to Moses, so he made the lampstand.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 6 Take thou the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; and thou shalt cleanse them by this custom. \sls (Take thou the Levites from the midst of the Israelites; and thou shalt cleanse, \+em or shalt purify\+em*, them by this rite.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 Be they sprinkled with \sls (the)\sls* water of cleansing, \em or of purification\em*, and shave they all the hairs of their flesh. And when they have washed their clothes and be cleansed,
\p
\v 8 take they an ox of the droves, and the flowing sacrifice thereof, \add [tried]\add* flour sprinkled \sls (al)\sls*together with oil; forsooth thou shalt take another ox of the drove for sin; \sls (take they an ox from the herd, and its grain offering of fine flour sprinkled with oil; and thou shalt take another ox from the herd for a sin offering;)\sls*
\p
\v 9 and thou shalt present the Levites before the tabernacle of the bond of peace \sls (or and thou shalt bring the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Covenant)\sls*, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel is called together.
\p
\v 10 And when the Levites be \em presented\em* before the Lord, the sons of Israel shall set their hands upon them;
\p
\v 11 and Aaron shall offer, \sls (\+em or shall present\+em*)\sls*, the Levites in the sight of the Lord, \sls (as)\sls* a gift of the sons of Israel, that they serve in the service of him. \sls (and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord, as a special gift from the Israelites, to serve in the Lord’s service.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Also the Levites shall set their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which oxen thou shalt make, \em or ordain\em*, one for sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice of the Lord, that thou pray for them. \sls (And the Levites shall put their hands on the heads of the oxen, of which oxen thou shalt ordain one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt sacrifice to the Lord, to make amends for the Levites.)\sls*
\p
\v 13 And thou shalt ordain the Levites in the sight of Aaron, and of his sons, and thou shalt \sls (make)\sls* sacred \em them\em*\sls (that be)\sls* offered to the Lord \sls (or and thou shalt consecrate, \+em or shalt dedicate, those\+em* who be offered to the Lord)\sls*;

\v 14 and thou shalt separate \em them\em* from the midst of the sons of Israel, \sls (so)\sls* that they be mine.
\p
\v 15 And afterward enter they into the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace, that they serve me; and so thou shalt cleanse and hallow them, into an offering of the Lord, \sls (And afterward they shall enter into the Tabernacle of the Covenant to serve me; and so thou shalt cleanse, \+em or shalt purify\+em*, and dedicate them, as an offering to the Lord,)\sls*
\p
\v 16 for by free gift they be given to me \sls (out)\sls* of the sons of Israel.

\p
\v 17 for all the first begotten things of the sons of Israel be mine, as well of men as of beasts, \sls (or for all the first-born males of the Israelites be mine, of people as well as of beasts)\sls*, \sls (yea)\sls*, from the day in which I smote each first engendered \sls (male)\sls* thing in the land of Egypt, I \add [have]\add* hallowed them to me.

\v 18 And I took the Levites for all the first begotten \sls (sons)\sls* of the sons of Israel; \sls (And I took the Levites in place of all the first-born sons of the Israelites;)\sls*
\p
\v 19 and I gave them by free gift to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the people, that they serve me for Israel, in the tabernacle of the bond of peace, and that they pray for them, lest vengeance be in the people, if they be hardy to nigh to the saintuary. \sls (and I gave them as a gift to Aaron and to his sons, out of the midst of the people, to serve me for all the Israelites, in the Tabernacle of the Covenant, and to make amends for them, lest vengeance come upon the people, if they be fool-hardy enough to come near to the sanctuary.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel, did upon the Levites those things that the Lord commanded to Moses. \sls (And so Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the Israelites, did with the Levites those things that the Lord commanded to Moses.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 And \sls (so)\sls*\em the Levites\em* were cleansed, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron raised, \em or presented\em*, them in the sight of the Lord, and he prayed for them, that they shall be cleansed \sls (or and he made amends for them, to purify them)\sls*,

\cl CHAPTER 9
\p
\v 1 And the Lord spake to Moses, in the desert of Sinai, \sls (or And the Lord spoke to Moses, in the Sinai Desert)\sls*, in the second year after they went out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, and said,
\p
\v 2 The sons of Israel make they pask in his time, \sls (Have the Israelites observe the Passover at this time,)\sls*
\p
\v 3 \em that is\em*, in the fourteenth day of this month, at eventide, by all the ceremonies and justifyings thereof. \sls (\+em that is\+em*, on the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, with all of its ceremonies and its customs.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 And Moses commanded to the sons of Israel, that they should make pask; \sls (And so Moses commanded to the Israelites to observe the Passover;)\sls*
\p
\v 5 which made \em pask\em* in his time, in the fourteen day of the month, at eventide, in the hill of Sinai; by all things that the Lord commanded to Moses, the sons of Israel did. \sls (and so they observed \+em the Passover\+em* at this time, on the fourteen day of the month, in the evening, in the Sinai Desert; all the things that the Lord commanded to Moses, the Israelites did.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 Lo! forsooth some men \sls (that were)\sls* unclean on the soul of \sls (a)\sls* man, that might not make pask in that day, nighed to Moses and to Aaron, \sls (Behold! but some men, who were unclean from contact with the dead body of someone, and so could not observe the Passover on that day, came to Moses and Aaron,)\sls*
\p
\v 7 and said to them, We be unclean on the soul of \sls (a)\sls* man; why be we defrauded, that we may not offer an offering to the Lord in his time, among the sons of Israel? \sls (and said to them, We be made unclean from contact with the dead body of someone; but must we be denied, so that we cannot offer an offering to the Lord at this time, among the Israelites?)\sls*
\p
\v 8 To which Moses answered, Stand ye \em aside, or abideth\em*, that I take counsel, what the Lord commandeth of you. \sls (To whom Moses answered, Wait ye here, until I take counsel, what the Lord commandeth of you.)\sls*
\p
\v 9 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 10 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, A man of your folk that is unclean upon a soul, either is in the way far \sls (off)\sls*\f + \fr 9:10 \fr*\ft \+em In Latin books it is added, ‘in your folk’, but this is not in Hebrew\+em*.\ft*\f*, make he pask to the Lord \sls (Say thou to the Israelites, Anyone of your people who is made unclean from contact with a dead body, or is on the way afar off, shall observe the Passover to the Lord)\sls*
\p
\v 11 in the second month, in the fourteenth day of the month, at eventide; with therf loaves and lettuces of the field he shall eat it. \sls (in the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening; yea, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and field lettuce, \+em or bitter herbs\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 They shall not leave anything thereof till to the morrowtide, and they shall not break a bone thereof; they shall keep all the custom of pask \sls (or they shall follow all the customs, \+em or all the rites\+em*, of the Passover)\sls*.
\p
\v 13 Forsooth if any man is clean, and is not in the way, and nevertheless made not \add [the]\add* pask, that man shall be destroyed from his peoples, for he offered not sacrifice to the Lord in his time \em set, or covenable\em*\sls (time)\sls*; he shall bear his sin. \sls (But if anyone is clean, and is not away, and nevertheless did not observe the Passover, that person shall be cut off from his people, for he did not offer an offering to the Lord at the \+em set, or the appointed\+em*, time; he shall bear his sin.)\sls*
\p
\v 14 Also if a pilgrim and a comeling is with you, make he pask to the Lord, by the ceremonies and the justifyings thereof; the same behest shall be with \sls (all of)\sls* you, as well to a comeling as to a man born in the land. \sls (And if a foreigner or a newcomer is with you, let him observe the Passover to the Lord, with all of its ceremonies and its customs, \+em or its rites\+em*; the same law shall apply to all of you, to a newcomer, as well as to someone born in the land.)\sls*
\p
\v 15 Therefore in the day in which the tabernacle was raised, a cloud covered it; soothly as the likeness of fire was on the tent, \em that is, \+sls (the)\+sls* tabernacle\em*, from \sls (the)\sls* eventide till to the morrowtide. \sls (And on the day in which the Tabernacle was raised up, a cloud came and covered it; and a brightness like fire was over the Tent, \+em that is, the Tabernacle\+em*, from the evening until the morning.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 Thus it was done continually, a cloud covered it by day, and as the likeness of fire by night. \sls (Thus it was done continually, that a cloud stood over it by day, and a brightness like fire during the night.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 And when the cloud that covered the tabernacle was taken away, then the sons of Israel went forth; and in the place where the cloud stood, there they setted tents. \sls (And when the cloud that covered the Tabernacle lifted up, and moved away, then the Israelites went forth; and in the place where the cloud stopped, there they pitched their tents.)\sls*
\p
\v 18 At the commandment of the Lord they went forth, and at his commandment they setted \sls (up)\sls* the tabernacle. In all the days in which the cloud stood upon the tabernacle, they dwelled in the same place. \sls (At the Lord’s command they went forth, and at his command they put up the Tabernacle.

\p
\v 19 And if it befelled that it dwelled much time upon the tabernacle, the sons of Israel were in the watches of the Lord, and they went not forth, \sls (And if it befell that it stayed a long time over the Tabernacle, the Israelites kept watch for the Lord, and they did not go forth,)\sls*
\p
\v 20 in how many ever days the cloud was upon the tabernacle. At the commandment of the Lord they raised \add [the]\add* tents, and at his commandment they did them down. \sls (for however many days the cloud stood over the Tabernacle.

\p
\v 21 If the cloud was \em standing upon the tabernacle\em* from the eventide unto the morrowtide, and anon in the morrowtide had left, \em or gone thence\em*, they went forth; and if, after a day and a night, the cloud had gone away, they scattered, \em either did down\em*, the tents. \sls (If the cloud \+em stood over the Tabernacle\+em* from the evening until the morning, and then in the morning had left, \+em or had gone away\+em*, they went forth at once; or if, after only a day, or only a night, the cloud went away, then they scattered, \+em or did down\+em*, the tents, and they moved on.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 Whether in two months, either in one month, either in longer time, \em the cloud\em* had been upon the tabernacle, the sons of Israel dwelled in the same place, and went not forth; but anon as it had gone away, they moved the tents. \sls (Or when for one month, or two months, or for an even longer time, \+em the cloud\+em* stood over the Tabernacle, the Israelites remained in the same place, and they went not forth; but as soon as it had gone away, then they moved the tents.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 By the word of the Lord they setted \sls (up)\sls* their tents, and by his word they went forth; and they were in the watches of the Lord, by his commandment, by the hand of Moses. \sls (By the word of the Lord they pitched their tents, and by his word they went forth; they kept watch for the Lord’s command, spoken by Moses.)\sls*

\v 2 Make to thee two silver trumps \sls (or Make for thyself two silver trumpets)\sls*, beaten out with hammers, by which thou mayest call together the multitude, when the tents shall be moved.
\p
\v 3 And when thou shalt sound with trumps, all the company shall be gathered to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the bond of peace. \sls (And when thou shalt sound with the trumpets, all the multitude shall be gathered to thee at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 If thou shalt trump \em with one trump\em*, the princes and the chief men of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee; \sls (If thou shalt sound \+em with one trumpet\+em*, the leaders who be the chief men of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee;)\sls*
\p
\v 5 but if a longer, and a parted trumping \em of two trumps\em* shall sound, they that be at the east coast shall move \em their\em* tents first \sls (or then they who be on the east side shall move \+em their\+em* tents first)\sls*.
\p
\v 6 Forsooth in the second sound\add [ing]\add*, and in like noise of the trump, they that dwell at the south coast shall raze their tents \sls (or they who live on the south side shall take down their tents)\sls*; and by this manner, \sls (the)\sls* other men shall \sls (also)\sls* do \sls (so)\sls*, when the trumps shall sound into going forth.
\p
\v 7 Forsooth when the people shall be gathered together, \sls (a)\sls* simple cry of trumps shall be, and the trumps shall not sound partingly. \sls (And when the people should gather together, there shall be a simple cry of the trumpets, and they shall not sound separately.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 The sons of Aaron, \add [the]\add* priest\sls (s)\sls*, shall sound with \add [the]\add* trumps, and this shall be a lawful thing everlasting in your generations \sls (or and this shall be an everlasting law in all your generations)\sls*.
\p
\v 9 If ye shall go out of your land to battle against the enemies that fight against you, ye shall cry with trumps sounding, and the bethinking of you shall be before your Lord God, that ye be delivered from the hands of your enemies. \sls (If ye shall go out of your land to do battle against the enemies who fight against you, ye shall cry with sounding trumpets, and then the remembrance of you shall be before the Lord your God, and ye shall be delivered from the hands of your enemies.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 If any time ye shall have a feast, and holidays, and calends, \em that is, the first day of the month\em*, ye shall sing in trumps upon the burnt sacrifices, and \add [the]\add* peaceable sacrifices, that those be to you into remembering of your God; I am your Lord God. \sls (And at the times that ye have feasts, and holidays, and calends, \+em that is, the first day of the month\+em*, ye shall sing with trumpets over the burnt sacrifices, and the peace offerings, so that they bring forth a remembrance of you before your God; I am the Lord your God.)\sls*

\v 25 \sls (And)\sls* The sons of Dan, by their companies, went forth the last of all the tents, in whose host the prince was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
\p
\v 26 Soothly in the lineage of the sons of Asher the prince was Pagiel, the son of Ocran.
\p
\v 27 And in the lineage of the sons of Naphtali the prince was Ahira, the son of Enan.
\p
\v 28 These be the tents and the goings forth of the sons of Israel, by their companies, when they went forth.
\p
\v 29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel, of Midian, his ally, \em either, \+sls (or the)\+sls* father of his wife\em*, We \sls (shall)\sls* go forth to the place which the Lord shall give to us; come thou with us, that we do well to thee, \sls (or come thou with us, and we shall treat thee well)\sls*, for the Lord \add [hath]\add* promised good things to Israel.
\p
\v 30 To whom he answered, I shall not go with thee, but I shall turn again into my land, in which I was born. \sls (To whom he answered, I shall not go with thee, but I shall return to my own land, where I was born.)\sls*
\p
\v 31 And Moses said, Do not thou forsake us, for thou knowest in which places we ought to set tents \sls (or for thou knowest where it is best for us to pitch our tents)\sls*, and thou shalt be our leader;
\p
\v 32 and when thou shalt come with us, whatever thing shall be \sls (the)\sls* best of the riches that the Lord shall give to us, we shall give to thee.
\p
\v 33 And therefore they went forth from the hill of the Lord the way of three days; and the ark of the bond of peace of the Lord went before them, by those three days, and purveyed the places of their tents. \sls (And so they went forth from \+em Mount Sinai\+em*, the Lord’s mountain, the way of three days; and the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, \+em that is, the Ark of the Witnessing\+em*, always went ahead of them, to find a good place for their tents.)\sls*
\p
\v 34 And the cloud of the Lord was upon, \em or over\em*, them by day, when they went forth.
\p
\v 35 And when the ark was raised \sls (up)\sls*, Moses said, Rise thou \sls (up)\sls*, Lord, and thine enemies be scattered, and they that hate thee, flee from thy face;
\p
\v 36 forsooth when the ark was put down, he said, Lord, turn again to the multitude of the host of Israel. \sls (and when the Ark was put down, he said, O Lord, return to the multitudes of Israel’s armies!)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 11
\p
\v 1 In the meantime grouching of the people, as of men sorrowing for travail, rose against the Lord. And when Moses had heard this thing, he was wroth; and the fire of the Lord was kindled upon them, and devoured the last part of the tents. \sls (In the meantime, the grumbling of the people, yea, the people complaining about their travail, \+em or their troubles\+em*, rose up against the Lord. And when Moses had heard this, he was very angry; and the Lord’s fire was kindled upon them, and devoured the last part of the camp.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 And when the people had cried to Moses, Moses prayed \add [to]\add* the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
\p
\v 3 And he called the name of that place Burning \sls (or And they called that place Taberah)\sls*, for the fire of the Lord was kindled against them \sls (there)\sls*.
\p
\v 4 And the common people of men and women, that had gone up with them, burnt with desire of flesh \sls (or burnt with desire for flesh)\sls*, and they sat, and wept, with the sons of Israel joined together with them, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
\p
\v 5 We think upon the fish that we ate in Egypt freely \sls (or We remember all the fish that we ate in Egypt)\sls*; gourds, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic come into our mind\sls (s)\sls*;
\p
\v 6 our soul is dry; our eyes behold none other thing than manna. \sls (but now our bodies be all dried up, and there is nothing to see but this manna!)\sls*
\p
\v 7 Soothly manna was as the seed of coriander, of the colour of bdellium, \em which is white, and \+sls (as)\+sls* bright as crystal\em*.
\p
\v 8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and brake \em it\em* with a quernstone, either pounded \em it\em* in a mortar, and seethed \em it\em* in a pot \sls (or and boiled \+em it\+em* in a pot)\sls*; and made thereof little cakes of the \sls (same)\sls* savour as of bread made with oil.
\p
\v 9 And when \add [the]\add* dew came down in the night upon the tents, also manna came down together \em therewith\em*.
\p
\v 10 Then Moses heard the people weeping by families, and each of them by the doors of their tents; and the strong vengeance of the Lord was wroth greatly, but also the grouching was seen \sls (as)\sls* unsufferable to Moses. \sls (And Moses heard all the people crying with their families, by the entrances to their tents; and the Lord was greatly angered, and provoked to take strong vengeance, and Moses also thought that the grumbling was insufferable.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And he said to the Lord, Why hast thou tormented thy servant? why find I not grace before thee? and why hast thou put the burden of all this people onto me? \sls (And he said to the Lord, Why hast thou so tormented thy servant? why do I not find grace before thee? and why hast thou put the burden of all of these people onto me?)\sls*
\p
\v 12 whether I have conceived all this multitude, either have begotten it, that thou say to me, Bear thou them in thy bosom, as a nurse is wont to bear a little young child, and bear thou \em this people\em* into the land for the which thou swore to their fathers? \sls (have I conceived all this multitude, or have I begotten them, so that now thou can say to me, Carry thou them in thy bosom, like a nurse is wont to carry about a young child, and carry thou \+em these people\+em* into the land for which thou swore to their fathers?)\sls*
\p
\v 13 whereof be meats to me, that I feed so great a multitude? They weep before me, and say, Give us flesh, that we eat; \sls (where shall I find enough meat, so that I can feed so great a multitude? They weep before me, and say to me, Give us flesh, so that we can eat it;)\sls*
\p
\v 14 I may not alone sustain all this people, for it is grievous to me. \sls (I cannot sustain all these people alone, for this is too heavy a burden for me or for they be too heavy a burden for me.)\sls*
\p
\v 15 If in other manner it seemeth to thee, I beseech thee, that thou slay me, and that I find grace in thine eyes, that I be not punished, \em or travailed\em*, with so great evils. \sls (If it seemeth to thee otherwise, then I beseech thee, that thou kill me, and so I shall receive grace from thee, and I shall no longer be punished, \+em or travailed\+em*, with such great evil.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 And the Lord said to Moses, Gather thou to me seventy men of the elder men of Israel, whom thou knowest to be \sls (the)\sls* eld\sls (er)\sls* men, and \sls (the)\sls* masters of the people; and thou shalt lead them to the door of the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace \sls (or and thou shalt bring them to the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant)\sls*, and thou shalt make them to stand there with thee,
\p
\v 17 that I come down, and speak to thee; and I shall take away of thy spirit, and I shall give to them, that they sustain with thee the burden of the people, and not thou alone be grieved. \sls (and I shall come down, and speak with thee; and I shall take away some of the spirit that is upon thee, and I shall give it to them, so that they can help sustain the burden of the people along with thee, and so that not only thou be travailed.)\sls*
\p
\v 18 And thou shalt say to the people, Be ye hallowed; tomorrow ye shall eat flesh; for I heard you say, Who shall give us the meats of flesh? it was well to us in Egypt; that the Lord give you flesh, \sls (And thou shalt say to the people, Be ye purified; for tomorrow ye shall eat some flesh; for I heard you say, Who shall give us flesh to eat? yea, it was well with us in Egypt; and so the Lord shall give you flesh to eat,)\sls*
\p
\v 19 and ye \sls (shall)\sls* eat \sls (it)\sls* not \em only\em* one day, either twain, either five, either ten, soothly neither twenty \em days\em*,
\p
\v 20 but till to a month of days, till it go out by your nostrils, and turn into loathing; for \em by your grouching\em* ye have put away the Lord, which is in the midst of you, and ye wept before him, and said, Why went we out of Egypt? \sls (but for a whole month of days, until it go out of your nostrils, and it turn loathsome to you; for \+em by your grumbling\+em* ye have rejected the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and ye have cried before him, and have said, Why did we go out of Egypt?)\sls*
\p
\v 21 And Moses said to the Lord, Six hundred thousand of footmen be of this people, and thou sayest, I shall give them to eat flesh an whole month. \sls (And Moses said to the Lord, Six hundred thousand footmen be among these people, and thou sayest, I shall give all of them flesh to eat for a whole month?)\sls*
\p
\v 22 Whether the multitude of sheep and of oxen shall \em be able to\em* be slain, that it may suffice \sls (to)\sls*\em this people\em* to meat \sls (or that it can suffice for enough food \+em for these people\+em*)\sls*, either whether all the fishes of the sea shall be gathered together, that those \add [ful]\add* fill them?
\p
\v 23 To whom the Lord answered, Whether the Lord’s hand is unmighty? right now thou shalt see, whether my word shall be fulfilled in work. \sls (To whom the Lord answered, Is the Lord’s hand unmighty, \+em or without power\+em*? thou shalt see right now, if my word shall be fulfilled in work, or not.)\sls*
\p
\v 24 Therefore Moses came, and told the people the words of the Lord; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of Israel, which he made \sls (to)\sls* stand about the tabernacle.
\p
\v 25 And the Lord came down by a cloud, and spake to Moses, and took away of the spirit that was in Moses, and gave \sls (it)\sls* to the seventy men; and when the spirit had rested in them, they prophesied, and moreover they ceased not. \sls (And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to Moses, and then took away some of the spirit that was on Moses, and gave it to the seventy men; and when the spirit had rested on them, they prophesied, and they did not cease.)\sls*
\p
\v 26 Forsooth two men dwelled still in the tents, of which men one was called Eldad, and the tother Medad, on which the spirit rested; for also they were described, \em or ordained\em* /\em or chosen\em*, and they went not out to the tabernacle. And when they prophesied in the tents, \sls (But two men still remained in the tents, one of whom was called Eldad, and the other Medad, and the spirit also rested on them; for they were also chosen, but they did not go out to the Tabernacle. And when they prophesied in the tents,)\sls*
\p
\v 27 a young man ran, and told to Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad prophesy in the tents.
\p
\v 28 Anon Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, and chosen of many, said, My lord Moses, forbid thou them. \sls (At once Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, and chosen out of many, said, My lord Moses, forbid thou them.)\sls*
\p
\v 29 And Moses said, What, hast thou envy for me? who giveth, \em whether not God\em*, that all the people prophesy, and that God give his spirit to them? \sls (And Moses said, Why, hast thou envy for me? O that God would give his spirit to everyone, and make all the people prophesy!)\sls*
\p
\v 30 And Moses turned again, and the elder men in birth of Israel, into the tents. \sls (And then Moses, and the elders of Israel, returned to the camp.)\sls*
\p
\v 31 Forsooth a wind went forth from the Lord, and it took \sls (hold of a multitude of)\sls* curlews, and brought \em them\em* over the sea, and he left them in the tents, in journey, as much as may be performed in one day, by each part of the tents by compass; and they flew in the air by two cubits in height above the earth. \sls (And a wind went forth from the Lord, and it took hold of a multitude of curlews, \+em or of quails\+em*, and brought \+em them\+em* over the sea, and it left them about the camp, as much as can be performed in one day’s journey, by each part of the camp all around; and they flew in the air by two cubits in height above the ground.)\sls*
\p
\v 32 Therefore the people rose \sls (up)\sls* in all that day, and \sls (all)\sls* that night, and into the tother day, and gathered a multitude of curlews; he that \em gathered\em* little, gathered ten cors; and they dried those \em curlews\em* by compass of the tents \sls (or and they dried those \+em quails\+em* all around the tents)\sls*.
\p
\v 33 Yet \sls (while the)\sls* flesh was in their teeth, and such meat failed them not; and lo! the wrath of the Lord was raised against his people, and he smote it with a full great vengeance \sls (or and he struck them with a very great plague)\sls*.
\p
\v 34 And that place was called The Sepulchres of Covetousness, \em or Lust\em*, for there they buried the people that desired flesh. \sls (And so that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, for they buried the people there who lusted after flesh.)\sls*
\p
\v 35 Soothly they went forth from The Sepulchres of Covetousness, \em or Lust\em*, and came into Hazeroth, and dwelled there. \sls (Then they went forth from Kibrothhattaavah, and came to Hazeroth, and stayed there.)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 12
\p
\v 1 And Marie spake and Aaron against Moses, for his wife \sls (was)\sls* a woman of Ethiopia, \sls (And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, for his wife was an Ethiopian woman,)\sls*
\p
\v 2 and they said, Whether God spake his will only by Moses? whether he spake not also to us in like manner? And when the Lord had heard this, he was wroth greatly \sls (or he was greatly angered)\sls*;
\p
\v 3 for Moses was the mildest man, over all men that dwelled in earth. \sls (for Moses was the humblest man, more humble than any other man who lived upon the face of the earth.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 And suddenly the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron and to Marie, \sls (and said)\sls*, Go out ye three alone to the tabernacle of the bond of peace. And when they were gone in, \sls (And suddenly the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, and said, Ye three go out alone to the Tabernacle of the Covenant. And when they had gone out to it,)\sls*
\p
\v 5 the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and he stood in the entering of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Marie. And when they had gone forth, \sls (the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and he stood at the entrance to the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And when they had come forth,)\sls*
\p
\v 6 he said to them, Hear ye my words; if any among you is a prophet of the Lord, I shall appear to him in revelation, either I shall speak to him by a dream.
\p
\v 7 And he said, And my servant Moses is not such, the which is most faithful in all mine house; \sls (Then he said, But my servant Moses is not such a prophet, for he alone is most faithful in all my household;)\sls*
\p
\v 8 for I speak to him mouth to mouth, and he seeth God openly, and not by dark speeches, \em either dark likenesses\em*, and figures. Why therefore dreaded ye not to backbite my servant Moses? \sls (and I speak with him face to face, and he seeth God openly, and not only through riddles. Yea, he hath even seen my form, \+em or my figure\+em*! So why do ye not fear to backbite my servant Moses?)\sls*
\p
\v 9 And the Lord was wroth against them, and he went away.
\p
\v 10 And the cloud went away, that was on the tabernacle, and lo! Marie appeared shining with leprosy, \sls (or and behold! Miriam had become leprous)\sls*, white as snow. And when Aaron beheld her, and saw her besprinkled with leprosy,
\p
\v 11 he said to Moses, My lord, I beseech thee, put thou not this sin upon us, which we did follily \sls (or for we acted foolishly)\sls*,
\p
\v 12 \sls (and)\sls* that this \em woman\em* be not made as dead, and as a dead born thing that is cast out of the mother’s womb; lo! now the half of her flesh is devoured, \em or over-covered\em*, with leprosy, \sls (or behold! now half of her flesh hath been devoured by the leprosy!)\sls*.
\p
\v 13 And Moses cried to the Lord, and said, Lord, I beseech thee, heal thou her.
\p
\v 14 To whom the Lord answered, If her father had spit into her face, whether she ought not to be full-filled with shame, namely seven days? Therefore be she separated out of the tents by seven days, and afterward she shall be called again, \sls (or And so let her be set apart from the tents for seven days, and then she shall be called back again)\sls*.
\p
\v 15 And so Marie was excluded, \em or put\em*, out of the tents by seven days; and the people was not moved from that place, till Marie was called again. \sls (And so Miriam was sent away from the tents for seven days; and the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back again.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 And the people went forth from Hazeroth, when the tents were set in the desert of Paran. \sls (And then the people went forth from Hazeroth, and pitched their tents in the wilderness of Paran.)\sls*

\p
\v 17 Therefore Moses sent them to behold the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up by the south coast; and when ye come \add [in]\add* to the hills, \sls (And so Moses sent them to look over the land of Canaan, and he said to them, Go ye up by the Negeb, \+em or by the southern part\+em*, and when ye come into the hill country,)\sls*

\p
\v 21 And when they had gone up, they espied the land, from the desert of Zin till to Rehob, as men enter to Hamath. \sls (And so when they had gone up, they spied out the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as people go to Hamath.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 And they went up to the south \em coast\em*, and came into Hebron, where Ahiman, and Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were; for Hebron was made seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt. \sls (And they went up by the Negeb, \+em or by the southern part\+em*, and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, and Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of the giants, were living; for Hebron was built seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 And they went to the strand of \add [the]\add* cluster, and they cutted down a scion with his grapes, which two men bare with a bearing staff; also they took of \add [the]\add* pomegranates, and of the figs of that place, \sls (And they went to the Eshcol Valley, and cut down a branch with all of its grapes, which two men had to carry on a carrying bar, \+em or a carrying pole\+em*; and they also took pomegranates and figs from that place,)\sls*

\p
\v 26 they came to Moses and Aaron, and to all the company of the sons of Israel, into the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh.

\v 32 And they spake evil of the land which they had beheld, to the sons of Israel, and said, The land that we compassed devoureth his dwellers; the people that we beheld is of large stature; \sls (And so, they gave a bad report about the land which they had seen, to the Israelites, and said, The land which we went about shall eat up anyone who shall go there to live; and the people, who we saw there, be of very large stature;)\sls*

\v 33 there we saw some wonders against kind, of the sons of Anak, of the kind of giants, to which we were comparisoned, and were seen as locusts. \sls (yea, we saw some wonders against kind there, the sons of Anak, who be giants, and compared to them, we felt as small as locusts, \+em or like grasshoppers\+em*.)\sls*

\v 7 and they spake thus to all the multitude of the sons of Israel, \sls (and said)\sls*, The land which we compassed is full good; \sls (and they spoke thus to all the multitude of the Israelites, and said, The land which we went about is very good;)\sls*
\p
\v 8 if the Lord is merciful to us, he shall lead us into it, and he shall give \em us\em* the land flowing with milk and honey.
\p
\v 9 Do not ye rebel against the Lord, neither dread ye the people of this land, for we be able to devour them so as bread; all their help hath passed away from them, the Lord is with us, do not ye dread. \sls (Do not ye rebel against the Lord, nor fear ye the people of this land, for we be able to eat them up like a piece of bread; all their help hath passed away from them, yea, the Lord is with us, do not ye fear.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And when all the multitude cried \sls (out)\sls*, and would have oppressed them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared upon the roof of the bond of peace, while all the sons of Israel saw. \sls (But when all the multitude shouted, and would have killed them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared over the Tabernacle of the Covenant, before all the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long shall this people backbite me, \em or mis-deem me\em*? How long shall they not believe to me, in \sls (spite of)\sls* all the signs which I have done before them? \sls (And the Lord said to Moses, How long shall these people backbite me, \+em or mis-judge me\+em*? How long shall they not believe me, \+em or not trust in me\+em*, in spite of all the miracles which I have done before them?)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Therefore I shall smite them with pestilence, and I shall waste \em them\em*; soothly I shall make thee prince upon a greater folk, and stronger than is this. \sls (And so I shall strike them with a pestilence, \+em or a plague\+em*, and I shall destroy \+em them\+em*; and then I shall make thee the leader of a greater, and of a stronger, nation than these people be.)\sls*
\p
\v 13 And Moses said to the Lord, \add [The]\add* Egyptians hear not, from whose middle thou leddest out this people, \sls (And Moses said to the Lord, But then the Egyptians, from whose midst thou leddest out these people, shall hear of it,)\sls*
\p
\v 14 and \sls (they shall tell it to)\sls* the dwellers of this land, which heard that thou, Lord, art in this people, \sls (or who have heard that thou, Lord, art with these people)\sls*, and art seen face to face, and that thy cloud defendeth them, and that thou goest before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,
\p
\v 15 that thou hast slain so great a multitude as \sls (if they be just)\sls* one man, and \sls (then they shall)\sls* say,
\p
\v 16 He might not bring this people into the land for which he swore to give to them, therefore he killed them in \sls (the)\sls* wilderness; \sls (Because he could not bring these people into the land which he had sworn to give them, and so he killed all of them in this wilderness;)\sls*
\p
\v 17 therefore \sls (let)\sls* the strength of the Lord be magnified, \em or made great\em*, as thou hast sworn, \sls (saying of thyself)\sls*,
\p
\v 18 \add [The]\add* Lord \sls (is)\sls* patient, and of much mercy, doing away wickedness and trespasses, and leaving no man unguilty, \sls (\+em or innocent\+em*)\sls*, which visitest the sins of \sls (the)\sls* fathers into \sls (the)\sls* sons into the third and fourth generation \sls (or and who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children into the third and fourth generations)\sls*,
\p
\v 19 \sls (so)\sls* I beseech thee, forgive thou the sin of this thy people, after the greatness of thy mercy, as thou were merciful to them going out of Egypt till to this place.
\p
\v 20 And the Lord said, I have forgiven to them, by thy word. \sls (And the Lord said, I now forgive them, because of thy words.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 \em And as soothly \+sls (as)\+sls*\em* I live; and the glory of the Lord shall be filled in all \add [the]\add* earth; \sls (\+em But as truly as\+em* I live, the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth;)\sls*
\p
\v 22 nevertheless all \add [the]\add* men that saw my majesty, and my signs, \sls (\+em and wonders\+em*)\sls*, which I did in Egypt and \sls (here)\sls* in the wilderness, and \add [have]\add* tempted me now by ten times, and obeyed not to my voice,
\p
\v 23 shall not see the land for which I swore to their fathers, neither any of them that backbited me, shall see it.
\p
\v 24 I shall lead my servant Caleb, that was full of another spirit and followed me, into this land, which he compassed, and his seed shall wield it. \sls (But I shall lead my servant Caleb, who was full of another spirit and followed me, into this land, which he went about, and his descendants shall possess it.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 For Amalek and Canaanites dwell in the valleys, tomorrow move ye \add [the]\add* tents, and turn ye again into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. \sls (For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in these valleys, tomorrow move ye your tents, and return ye to the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, \+em or the Sea of Reeds\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 26 And the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron, and said,
\p
\v 27 How long groucheth this worst multitude against me? I have heard the \em grouching\em* plaints of the sons of Israel. \sls (How long grumbleth this worst multitude against me? I have heard all the \+em grumbling\+em* and the complaints of the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 28 Therefore say thou to them, \sls (As)\sls* I live, saith the Lord; as ye spake while I heard, so I shall do to you;
\p
\v 29 your carrions, \em or dead bodies\em*, shall lie in this wilderness. All ye that be numbered, from twenty years and above, and have grouched against me, \sls (all your corpses shall lie here in this wilderness. All ye who be listed, \+em or registered\+em*, from twenty years of age and older, and have grumbled against me,)\sls*
\p
\v 30 shall not enter into the land, upon which I have raised \sls (up)\sls* mine hand, that I should make you to dwell \em there\em*\sls (or where I would have you live)\sls*, except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
\p
\v 31 Forsooth I shall lead in your little children, of which ye said that they should be preys, \em either ravens\em*, to \sls (thine)\sls* enemies, that they see the land which displeased you. \sls (But I shall lead in your little children, they of whom ye said would become your enemies’ spoils, so that they can have the land which hath so displeased you.)\sls*
\p
\v 32 Forsooth your carrions shall lie in the wilderness; \sls (But your corpses shall lie here in this wilderness;)\sls*
\p
\v 33 your sons shall be walkers-about in the desert by forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, till the carrions of their fathers be wasted in \sls (the)\sls* desert, \sls (your sons shall be wanderers in this wilderness for forty years, and they shall bear your punishment, until their fathers’ corpses be wasted in this wilderness,)\sls*
\p
\v 34 by the number of forty days, in which ye beheld the land; a year shall be reckoned for a day, and by forty years ye shall receive \sls (the penalty for)\sls* your wickedness, \em or be punished for your grouching\em*, and ye shall know my vengeance. \sls (yea, for the forty days in which ye looked the land over, a year shall be reckoned for a day, and so for forty years ye shall receive the penalty for your wickedness, \+em and shall be punished for your grumbling\+em*, and then ye shall know my vengeance.)\sls*
\p
\v 35 For as I spake, so I shall do to all this worst multitude, that rose \sls (up)\sls* together against me; it shall fail \sls (or they shall fail)\sls*, and shall die in this wilderness.
\p
\v 36 Therefore all the men which Moses had sent to see the land, and which turned again, and made all the multitude to grouch against him, and depraved the land, \sls (And so all the men whom Moses had sent to look over the land, and returned, and then had made all the multitude to grumble against him, and to despise the land,)\sls*
\p
\v 37 that it was evil, were dead, and smitten in the sight of the Lord\f + \fr 14:37 \fr*\ft \+em That is, suddenly and horribly, by the sentence of the Lord, (and) to the dread of (the) other men\+em*.\ft*\f*. \sls (by saying that it was evil, were then struck by the Lord with a pestilence, \+em or a plague\+em*, and died.)\sls*
\p
\v 38 Soothly \sls (only)\sls* Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, lived, of all the men, that went to see the land \sls (or who went to see the land)\sls*.
\p
\v 39 And Moses spake all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. \sls (And Moses spoke all these words to all the Israelites, and the people greatly mourned.)\sls*
\p
\v 40 And, lo! they rose in the morrowtide first, and they went up into the top of the hill, and said, We be ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord spake, for we have sinned. \sls (And behold! they rose up early the next morning, and left to go up into the heights of the hill country, saying, See, now we be ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken, and we confess, that we have sinned.)\sls*
\p
\v 41 To whom Moses said, Why over-pass ye the word of the Lord, that shall not befall to you into prosperity? \sls (To whom Moses said, Why pass ye over the word of the Lord? this shall not befall to you into any prosperity, \+em or any success, but only evil\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 42 Do not ye go up, for the Lord is not with you, lest ye fall before your enemies. \sls (Do not ye go up, for the Lord is not with you, and ye shall fall before your enemies.)\sls*
\p
\v 43 Amalek and Canaanites be before you, by the sword of which ye shall fall, for ye would not assent to the Lord, neither the Lord shall be with you. \sls (The Amalekites and the Canaanites be before you, by whose sword ye shall fall, for ye would not assent to the Lord, and so the Lord shall not be with you.)\sls*
\p
\v 44 And they were made dark, \em that is, blinded in their sin\em*, and went up into the top of the hill; forsooth the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses went not away from the tents. \sls (But they were blinded by their sin, and they went up anyway into the heights of the hill country; but neither the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, \+em that is, the Ark of the Witnessing\+em*, nor Moses, left the camp.)\sls*
\p
\v 45 And Amalek came down, and Canaanites, that dwelled in the hill, and he smote the children of Israel, and he cutted them down, and pursued them \sls (till)\sls* to Hormah. \sls (And the Amalekites, and the Canaanites, who lived in that hill country, came down, and they struck the Israelites, and they cut them down, and pursued them as far as Hormah.)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 15
\p
\v 1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 2 Speak thou to the sons of Israel \sls (or Speak thou to the Israelites)\sls*, and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land of your habitation, which I shall give to you,
\p
\v 3 and ye shall make an offering to the Lord into burnt sacrifice, either a peaceable sacrifice, and ye pay avows, either offer gifts by free will, either in your solemnities ye burn odour of sweetness to the Lord, of oxen, either of sheep; \sls (and ye shall make an offering to the Lord for a burnt sacrifice, or a peace offering, or ye pay vows, or freely offer gifts, or at your feasts, \+em or your festivals\+em*, ye make the sweetest aroma to the Lord, by burning oxen, or sheep;)\sls*
\p
\v 4 whoever offereth the slain sacrifice, shall offer a sacrifice of flour, the tenth part of \sls (an)\sls* ephah, sprinkled \sls (al)\sls*together with oil, which oil shall have a measure \sls (of)\sls* the fourth part of \sls (a)\sls* hin; \sls (whoever offereth a burnt sacrifice, shall also offer a grain offering, the tenth of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which oil shall be a quarter of a hin;)\sls*
\p
\v 5 and he shall give wine to \add [the]\add* flowing sacrifices to be poured \sls (out)\sls*, \em of the same measure\em*, into burnt sacrifice, and slain sacrifice. \sls (and he shall add \+em the same measure of\+em* wine, for the wine offering to be poured out, with the burnt sacrifice.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 By each lamb and ram shall be the sacrifice of \add [tried]\add* flour, of two tenth parts, which shall be sprinkled \sls (al)\sls*together with oil, of the third part of \sls (a)\sls* hin; \sls (With each lamb and each ram shall be a grain offering of fine flour of two tenths of an ephah, which shall be sprinkled with a third of a hin of oil;)\sls*
\p
\v 7 and he shall offer wine to the flowing sacrifice, of the third part of the same measure, into odour of sweetness to the Lord. \sls (and he shall offer wine of the same measure, for the wine offering, \+em that is, a third of a hin\+em*, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 Forsooth when thou makest a burnt sacrifice, either an offering, of oxen, that thou \add [ful]\add* fill a vow, either peaceable sacrifice\add [s]\add*, \sls (And when thou makest a burnt sacrifice, or a sacrifice, of an ox, so that thou fulfill a vow, or a peace offering,)\sls*
\p
\v 9 thou shalt give, by each ox, three tenth parts of tried flour, sprinkled \sls (al)\sls*together with oil, which shall have the half measure of \sls (a)\sls* hin; \sls (thou shalt give, with each ox, a grain offering of fine flour, three tenths of an ephah, sprinkled with half a hin of oil;)\sls*

\p
\v 16 one commandment and doom shall be, as well to you as to \add [the]\add* comelings of the land. \sls (one law and one custom shall be for you, and for all the newcomers in the land.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 18 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye come into the land which I shall give to you,
\p
\v 19 and ye eat of the loaves of that country, ye shall separate a little cake of your pastes to the Lord; \sls (and ye eat of the food of that land, ye shall set apart a little cake as a contribution to the Lord;)\sls*

\v 22 That if by ignorance ye pass \sls (over)\sls* any of those things which the Lord spake to Moses, \sls (And if, by ignorance, ye forget to do any of these things which the Lord spoke to Moses,)\sls*
\p
\v 23 and \add [hath]\add* commanded by him to you, from the day in which he began to command \sls (to Moses)\sls*, and over \sls (or and thereafter)\sls*,
\p
\v 24 and the multitude hath forgotten to do \em this\em*, it shall offer a calf of the drove, \sls (for)\sls* burnt sacrifice into sweetest odour to the Lord, and the sacrifices thereof, and \sls (the)\sls* flowing offerings, as the ceremonies thereof ask; and \em it shall offer\em* a buck of \sls (the)\sls* goats for sin. \sls (but the multitude hath forgotten to do \+em this\+em*, they shall offer a calf from the herd, for a burnt sacrifice, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord, with its grain and wine offerings, as such ceremonies require; and \+em they shall offer\+em* a goat buck for a sin offering.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven to them, for they sinned not willfully.

\p
\v 26 and it shall be forgiven to all the people of the sons of Israel, and to the comelings that be pilgrims among them, for it is the sin of all the multitude by ignorance. \sls (and so it shall be forgiven to all the people of the Israelites, and to the foreigners who be newcomers among them, for it is a sin of ignorance by all the multitude.)\sls*
\p
\v 27 That if a soul sinneth unwittingly, it shall offer a \add [she]\add*-goat of one year for his sin; \sls (And if someone sinneth unwittingly, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat, for his sin offering;)\sls*

\v 28 and the priest shall pray for that soul, for it sinned unwittingly before the Lord; and the priest shall get forgiveness to it, and the sin shall be forgiven to him. \sls (and the priest shall make amends for that person, for he sinned unwittingly before the Lord; and so the priest shall get forgiveness for him, and his sin shall be forgiven.)\sls*

\v 31 for he despised the word of the Lord, and made void his commandment; therefore he shall be done away \sls (or and so he shall be cut off, or and so he shall be put to death)\sls*, and shall bear his own wickedness.

\v 32 Soothly it was done, when the sons of Israel were in wilderness, and they had found a man gathering wood in the sabbath day, \sls (And it was done, when the Israelites were still in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day,)\sls*
\p
\v 33 they brought him to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the multitude;

\v 38 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, that they make to them hems by \sls (the)\sls* four corners of \em their\em* mantles, and fasten they in them laces of jacinth; \sls (Speak thou to the Israelites, and thou shalt say to them, beginning now, and forevermore, they shall put tassels on the four corners of \+em their\+em* mantles, and fasten a blue ribbon to the tassels;)\sls*
\p
\v 39 and when they see those, have they mind of all the commandments of the Lord, lest they follow their \add [own]\add* thoughts and their eyes, doing fornication by diverse things. \sls (and when they see those things, they shall remember all the Lord’s commands, lest they follow their own thoughts, and their own eyes, and do idolatry with diverse things;)\sls*

\v 40 but more be they mindful of the behests of the Lord, and do they those, and be they holy to their God. \sls (yea, let them remember the Lord’s commands, and do they them, and be they holy, yea, consecrated to their God.)\sls*
\p
\v 41 I am your Lord God, which led you out of the land of Egypt, that I should be your God. \sls (I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt, so that I could be your God.)\sls*

\v 1 Forsooth Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, of the sons of Reuben,
\p
\v 2 rose against Moses, and \sls (with them)\sls* others of the sons of Israel, two hundred men and fifty, princes of the synagogue, and which were called by their names in the time of counsel. \sls (rose up against Moses, and with them were other Israelites, two hundred and fifty men, leaders of the synagogue, who were called by their names at the times of gathering together.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 And when these stood against Moses and Aaron, they said, Suffice it to you, for all the multitude is of holy men, and the Lord is in them; why be ye raised up \em presumptuously\em* on the people of the Lord? \sls (And when they stood against Moses and Aaron, they said, Suffice it to you, for all the multitude be holy men, and the Lord is with them; why be ye so \+em presumptuously\+em* raised up over the Lord’s people?)\sls*
\p
\v 4 And when Moses had heard this, he fell down low upon his face \sls (or he fell down on the ground)\sls*.
\p
\v 5 And he spake to Korah, and to all the multitude; he said, Early the Lord shall make known which \em men\em* pertain to him, and he shall apply, \em or draw\em*, to him holy men; and they which he hath chosen, shall nigh to him. \sls (And he spoke to Korah, and to all the multitude, and said, Early tomorrow the Lord shall make known which \+em man\+em* pertaineth to him, for he shall draw to himself the man who is holy; and he whom he hath chosen, shall be near to him.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 Therefore do ye this thing; each man take his censer, thou Korah, and all thy counsel; \sls (And so do ye this thing; each man take his censer, thou Korah, and all thy company, \+em or all thy people\+em*;)\sls*
\p
\v 7 and tomorrow when fire is taken up, put ye incense above before the Lord \sls (or and tomorrow put fire in them, and put ye incense on it before the Lord)\sls*, and whomever the Lord chooseth, he shall be holy. Ye sons of Levi be much raised \sls (up)\sls*.
\p
\v 8 And again Moses said to Korah, Ye sons of Levi, hear.
\p
\v 9 Whether it is little to you \sls (or Is it such a small thing for you)\sls*, that \sls (the)\sls* God of Israel \add [hath]\add* separated you from all the people, and hath joined \em you\em* to himself, \sls (so)\sls* that ye should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and that ye should stand before the multitude of the people, and serve him, \sls (yea, serve Almighty God)\sls*?
\p
\v 10 Made he therefore thee, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi \sls (with thee)\sls*, to nigh to himself, that ye challenge to you also \sls (the)\sls* priesthood, \sls (Yea, he made thee, and all thy brothers, \+em or thy kinsmen\+em*, the Levites, with thee, just for that, to be near him; but now ye seek the priesthood for yourselves as well,)\sls*
\p
\v 11 and \sls (for that)\sls*, all thy gathering together stand against the Lord? For why, what is Aaron, that ye grouch against him? \sls (and for that, all thy company now stand against the Lord! For what is Aaron, that ye should grumble against him?)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Therefore Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; which answered, We come not. \sls (And so Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they answered, We shall not come \+em to thee\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 13 Whether is it little to thee, that thou leddest us out of the land that flowed with milk and honey, to slay us in the desert, no but also thou be lord of us? \sls (Is it such a small thing for thee, that thou leddest us out of the land \+em of Egypt\+em* which flowed with milk and honey, to kill us here in the wilderness, but must thou also be our lord and master?)\sls*
\p
\v 14 Verily thou hast brought us into the land that floweth with streams of milk and honey, and \add [thou]\add* hast given to us possession of fields, and of vineyards\f + \fr 16:14 \fr*\ft \+em They said this in scorn, to signify that Moses (had) deceived the people by false promises\+em*.\ft*\f*; whether also thou wilt put out our eyes? We come not \em to thee\em*\sls (or We shall not come \+em to thee\+em*)\sls*.
\p
\v 15 And Moses was wroth greatly, and said to the Lord, Behold thou not the sacrifices of them; thou knowest that I took never of them a little ass, neither I tormented any of them. \sls (And Moses was greatly angered, and said to the Lord, Do not thou receive any of their offerings, \+em Lord\+em*; for thou knowest that I never took a solitary donkey from them, nor did I torment any of them.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 And Moses said to Korah, Thou and all thy congregation stand asides half before the Lord, and Aaron tomorrow by himself. \sls (And Moses said to Korah, Tomorrow, thou, and all thy company, \+em or all thy people\+em*, come and stand here before the Lord, and also Aaron, by himself.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 Take ye all by yourselves your censers, and put ye incense in those, \sls (or All of you shall take your censers, and put ye incense in them)\sls*, and offer ye to the Lord, twain hundred and fifty censers; and Aaron hold he his censer \sls (also)\sls*.
\p
\v 18 And \sls (so the next day)\sls* when they had done this, while Moses and Aaron stood \em there\em*,
\p
\v 19 and they had gathered all the multitude to the door of the tabernacle against them, the glory of the Lord appeared to all. \sls (and Korah had gathered all the multitude against them at the entrance to the Tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to all of them.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 And the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron, and said,
\p
\v 21 Be ye separated from the midst of this congregation, that I lose them suddenly. \sls (Be ye set apart from the midst of this company, \+em or of these people\+em*, so that I can quickly destroy them.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 The which fell down low upon their face\sls (s)\sls*, and said, Most strong God of the spirits of all flesh, whether thy wrath shall be fierce against all men, for one man sinneth?
\p
\v 23 And the Lord said to Moses,
\p
\v 24 Command thou to all the people, that it be separated from the tabernacles of Korah, and of Dathan, and of Abiram. \sls (Command thou to all the people, that they move away from the tents of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 And Moses rose \sls (up)\sls*, and went to Dathan and Abiram; and while the elder men of Israel followed him,
\p
\v 26 he said to the company, Go ye away from the tabernacles of the wicked men, and do not ye touch those things that pertain to them, lest ye be wrapped in the sins of them. \sls (he said to the people, Go ye away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not ye touch those things that pertain to them, lest ye be wrapped up in their sins.)\sls*
\p
\v 27 And when they had gone away from their tents by compass, Dathan and Abiram went out, and stood in the entry of their tents, with their wives, and their free children, and with all the multitude. \sls (And when they had gone away from their tents all around, Dathan and Abiram went out, and stood at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, and their children, and with all their multitude.)\sls*
\p
\v 28 And Moses said, In this ye shall know that the Lord sent me, that I should do all things which ye see, and that I brought them not forth of mine own heart. \sls (And Moses said, By this ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me, to do all these things which ye see, and that I did not bring them forth from my own heart.)\sls*
\p
\v 29 If they perish by customable death of men, and wound, \em either pestilence\em*, visit them, by which also other men be wont to be visited, the Lord sent not me; \sls (If these men die by the customary deaths of people, or if a wound, \+em or a pestilence\+em*, visit them, by which other people be wont to be visited, then the Lord did not send me;)\sls*
\p
\v 30 but if the Lord doeth a new thing, that the earth open his mouth, and swallow them, and all things that pertain to them, and they go down quick into hell, ye shall know that they blasphemed the Lord. \sls (but if the Lord doeth a new thing, yea, and the earth open its mouth, and swallow them, and all things that pertain to them, and they go down alive into hell, \+em or to Sheol\+em*, then ye shall know that they blasphemed against the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 31 Therefore anon as he ceased to speak, the earth was broken under their feet, \sls (And so as soon as he ceased to speak, the ground broke up under their feet,)\sls*
\p
\v 32 and the earth opened his mouth, and devoured them, with their tabernacles, and all their chattel; \sls (and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them, and their tents, and all their possessions;)\sls*
\p
\v 33 and they went down quick, into hell, and \em were\em* covered with earth, and they perished from the midst of the multitude. \sls (and they went down alive into hell, \+em or to Sheol\+em*, and then they \+em were\+em* covered with earth, and so they perished from the midst of the multitude.)\sls*
\p
\v 34 And soothly all Israel that stood about, fled from the cry of men perishing, and said, Lest peradventure the earth swallow also us. \sls (And all the Israelites who stood about, fled from the cry of the people as they perished, saying, Lest the earth swallow us as well.)\sls*
\p
\v 35 But also fire went out from the Lord, and killed \sls (the)\sls* twain hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
\p
\v 36 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 37 Command thou to Eleazar, the son of Aaron, \add [the]\add* priest, that he take, \em or gather up\em*, the censers that lie in the burning, and that he scatter the fire hither and thither; for those \em censers\em* be hallowed \sls (or for those censers be holy)\sls*
\p
\v 38 in the deaths of \sls (these)\sls* sinners; and that he bring forth those \em censers\em* into plates, and nail them to the altar, for incense is offered in those to the Lord, and those be hallowed, that the sons of Israel see them for a sign and a memorial. \sls (even without the deaths of these sinners; and that he make those \+em censers\+em* into plates, and then nail them to the altar, for incense was offered in them to the Lord, and so they be holy; and then the Israelites shall see them as a sign and as a reminder.)\sls*
\p
\v 39 Therefore Eleazar, the priest, took the brazen censers, in which they, which the burning had devoured had offered, and he beat out those censers into plates, and nailed them to the altar; \sls (And so Eleazar, the priest, took the bronze censers, with which they, whom the burning had devoured, had made an offering to the Lord, and he beat those censers into plates, and then nailed them to the altar;)\sls*
\p
\v 40 that the sons of Israel should have \em those censers with them\em* afterward, by which they should remember \em this great vengeance of God\em*, lest any alien, and which is not of the seed of Aaron, nigh to offer incense to the Lord; lest he suffer, as Korah suffered, and all his multitude, while the Lord spake to Moses. \sls (so that the Israelites would have \+em those censers with them\+em* afterward, by which they would remember \+em this great vengeance of God\+em*, lest any stranger, who is not of Aaron’s descendants, come near to offer incense to the Lord; for then he would suffer, like Korah and all his fellows had suffered; all of this was done as the Lord commanded to Eleazar, through Moses.)\sls*
\p
\v 41 Forsooth all the multitude of the sons of Israel grouched in the day following against Moses and Aaron, and said, Ye have slain the people of the Lord. \sls (But on the following day all the multitude of the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and said, Ye have killed the people of the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 42 And when dissension \sls (a)\sls*rose, and the noise increased, Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the bond of peace \sls (or Moses and Aaron fled to the Tabernacle of the Covenant)\sls*; and after that they entered into it, a cloud covered the tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
\p
\v 43 \sls (See verse 42 above.)\sls*
\p
\v 44 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
\p
\v 45 Go ye away from the midst of this multitude, also now I shall do away them. And when they lay in the earth, \sls (Go ye away from the midst of this multitude, for I shall now destroy them. And when they lay on the ground,)\sls*
\p
\v 46 Moses said to Aaron, Take thy censer, and when the fire is taken up from \sls (off)\sls* the altar, cast thou incense above, and go thou forth soon to the people, that thou pray for them; for now wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the vengeance is fierce. \sls (Moses said to Aaron, Take thy censer, and when thou hast taken fire from off the altar, cast thou incense on it, and quickly go forth to the people, and make amends for them; for anger hath now gone out from the Lord, and the plague hath begun.)\sls*
\p
\v 47 And when Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude, which the burning wasted then, he offered incense; \sls (And Aaron did this, and ran to the midst of the multitude, who were already dying from the plague, and he offered the incense;)\sls*
\p
\v 48 and he stood betwixt the dead men and the living, and he prayed for the people, and the vengeance ceased. \sls (and he stood there among the living and the dead, and made amends for the people, and then the plague ceased.)\sls*
\p
\v 49 Soothly they that were slain were fourteen thousand of men and seven hundred, without them that perished in the dissension of Korah. \sls (But fourteen thousand and seven hundred people died from the plague, besides those who had perished in the rebellion of Korah.)\sls*
\p
\v 50 And Aaron turned again to Moses, to the door of the tabernacle of the bond of peace, after that the perishing of men ceased. \sls (And then Aaron returned to Moses, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, after that the plague had ceased.)\sls*

\v 1 And the Lord spake to Moses, saying,
\p
\v 2 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and take thou rods, by their kindreds, by each kindred one rod, \em take thou\em* of all the princes of the lineages twelve rods; and thou shalt write the name of each \em lineage\em* upon his rod; \sls (Speak thou to the Israelites, and take thou staffs, from their kindreds, one staff from each kindred, \+em yea, take thou\+em* twelve staffs from all the leaders, \+em or from all the chief men\+em*, of the tribes; and thou shalt write the name of each \+em leader\+em* on his staff;)\sls*
\p
\v 3 soothly the name of Aaron shall be \em written\em* in the lineage of Levi, and one rod shall contain all the families of Levi. \sls (and Aaron’s name shall be \+em written\+em* on the staff of Levi; yea, one staff shall be for the head of each family.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 And thou shalt put those rods in the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace, before the witnessing, where I shall speak with thee; \sls (And thou shalt put those staffs in the Tabernacle of the Covenant, before the \+em Ark of the\+em* Witnessing, \+em that is, the Box containing the tablets of the Law\+em*, where I speak with thee;)\sls*
\p
\v 5 the rod of him shall burgeon, whom I shall choose of them \em to the office of priesthood\em*; and I shall \em thereby\em* refrain, \em or quench\em*, from me the complainings, \em or grouchings\em*, of the sons of Israel, by which they grouch against you. \sls (and the staff of him shall sprout, whom I shall choose out of them \+em for the office, or for the duties, of the priesthood\+em*; and I shall \+em thereby\+em* quench the complaints, \+em or the grumblings\+em*, of the Israelites, by which they grumble against you.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 And Moses spake to the sons of Israel; and all the princes gave to him rods, by all their lineages; and the rods were twelve, without the rod of Aaron. \sls (And Moses spoke to the Israelites; and each leader from each tribe gave him a staff; and so there were twelve staffs, and Aaron’s staff was among them.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 And when Moses had put those rods before the Lord, in the tabernacle of witnessing, \sls (And when Moses had put those staffs before the Lord, in the Tabernacle of the Witnessing,)\sls*
\p
\v 8 he went again in the day following, and found that the rod of Aaron, in the house of Levi, had burgeoned; and when \add [the]\add* knops were great, the blossoms had broken out, which were alarged in \sls (the)\sls* leaves, and were formed into almonds. \sls (he went back on the following day, and found that Aaron’s staff, for the house of Levi, had sprouted; and first the buds grew great, and then the blossoms broke out, and enlarged themselves amid the leaves, and then they were formed into almonds.)\sls*
\p
\v 9 Therefore Moses brought forth all the rods from the sight of the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they saw, and received each his rod. \sls (And so Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the Israelites; and they looked at all of them, and then each man received back his own staff.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And the Lord said to Moses, Bear thou again the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of witnessing, that it be kept there into a token of the rebel sons of Israel, and that their complainings, \em or grouchings\em*, cease from me, lest they die. \sls (And the Lord said to Moses, Bring thou back Aaron’s staff into the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, so that it can be kept there as a sign, \+em or as a warning\+em*, to all the rebellious Israelites, so that their complaints, \+em or their grumblings\+em*, cease, or else they shall die.)\sls*

\v 15 A vessel that hath not a covering, neither a binding above, shall be unclean. \sls (Any open vessel there, that hath not a cover, or a lid on top of it, shall be unclean.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 If any man toucheth the dead body of a man slain in the field, either dead by himself, either a bone of him, either his sepulchre, he shall be unclean by seven days. \sls (If anyone toucheth the dead body of someone killed in the field, \+em that is, outside\+em*, or who hath died naturally, or \+em who toucheth\+em* one of their bones, or their grave, \+em or their tomb\+em*, they shall be unclean for seven days.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 And they shall take of the ashes of the burning, and of the sin \sls (offering)\sls*, \em that is, of the cow offered for sin\em*, and they shall put quick waters into a vessel, upon those ashes; \sls (And they shall take some of the ashes from the burning of that sin offering, \+em that is, some of the ashes of the cow offered for sin\+em*, and they shall put those ashes into a vessel with fresh water;)\sls*
\p
\v 18 in which when a clean man hath dipped hyssop, he shall sprinkle therewith the tent, and all the purtenance of the household, and the men also defouled with such defouling \sls (or and also anyone defiled with such defilement)\sls*.
\p
\v 19 And in this manner a clean man shall cleanse an unclean \em thing\em*, in the third \sls (day)\sls* and in the seventh day; and he shall be cleansed in the seventh day. And he shall wash himself, and his clothes, and he shall be unclean till to eventide. \sls (And in this manner a clean man shall sprinkle an unclean \+em thing\+em* on the third day, and on the seventh day; and it shall be clean on the seventh day. And then he shall wash himself, and his clothes, but he shall be unclean until the evening.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 If any man is not cleansed by this custom, \sls (\+em or rite\+em*)\sls*, the soul of him shall perish from the midst of the church \sls (or that person shall be cut off, \+em or shall be put out\+em*, from among the congregation)\sls*; for he defouleth the saintuary of the Lord, and he is not sprinkled with the water of cleansing.
\p
\v 21 This behest shall be a lawful thing everlasting. Also he that shall sprinkle the waters \sls (of cleansing)\sls* shall wash his clothes; each man that toucheth the waters of cleansing, shall be unclean till to eventide. \sls (This rule shall be an everlasting law. He who shall sprinkle the water of cleansing shall wash his clothes; and anyone who toucheth the water of cleansing shall be unclean until the evening.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 Whatever thing an unclean man toucheth, he shall make unclean; and a soul that toucheth any of these things \em defouled\em* so, shall be unclean till to eventide. \sls (Whatever thing an unclean person toucheth, they shall make that unclean; and anyone who toucheth any of these things that be so \+em defiled\+em*, shall be unclean until the evening.)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 20
\p
\v 1 And the sons of Israel and all the multitude came into the desert of Zin, in the first month. And the people dwelled in Kadesh; and Marie was dead there, and buried in the same place. \sls (And so the Israelites and all the multitude came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month. And the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 And when the people had need to water \sls (or And when the people needed water)\sls*, they went together against Moses and Aaron;
\p
\v 3 and they were turned into dissension, \em that is, rebelty and striving, \+sls (or that is, rebellion and strife)\+sls*\em*, and said, We would that we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
\p
\v 4 Why have ye led out the church of the Lord into wilderness, that both we and our beasts die \sls (here)\sls*? \sls (Why have ye led out the Lord’s congregation into this wilderness, so that both we and our beasts shall die here?)\sls*
\p
\v 5 Why have ye made us to go up from Egypt, and have brought us into \em this\em* worst place, which may not be sown, which neither bringeth forth fig trees, nor vines, neither pomegranates; furthermore and it hath not water to drink? \sls (or and furthermore there is no water to drink!)\sls*
\p
\v 6 And when the multitude was left, Moses and Aaron entered into the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace, and they fell down low upon the earth, and they cried to God, and said, Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a well of quick water, that when they be filled, the grouching of them cease. And the glory of the Lord appeared upon them; \sls (And they left the multitude, and Moses and Aaron entered into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, and they fell down on the ground, and they cried out to God, and said, Lord God, hear the cry of these people, and open thy treasure to them, yea, a well of fresh water, so that when they be filled, their grumbling shall cease. And the glory of the Lord appeared above them;)\sls*
\p
\v 7 and the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 8 Take the rod \em of Aaron\em*, and gather together the people, thou, and Aaron thy brother; and speak ye to the stone before them, and it shall give out waters. And when thou hast led water out of the stone, all the multitude shall drink, and their beasts thereof. \sls (Take the staff, and gather together the people, thou, and thy brother Aaron; and speak ye to the stone before them, and it shall give out water. And when thou hast led out water from the stone, all the multitude and their beasts shall drink it.)\sls*
\p
\v 9 Therefore Moses took the rod that was in the sight of the Lord, as the Lord commanded to him, \sls (And so Moses took the staff from before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him,)\sls*
\p
\v 10 when the multitude was gathered before the stone; and he said to them, Hear ye, rebel\add [s]\add*, and unbelieveful; whether we may bring out of this stone water to you? \sls (and when the multitude was gathered in front of the stone, Moses said to them, Listen, ye rebels and unbelievers; must we get water out of this stone for you?)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And when Moses had raised his hand, and had smitten the flint twice with the rod, most large waters went out, so that the people drank, and their beasts. \sls (And when Moses had raised up his hand, and had struck the rock twice with the staff, a great deal of water came out, so that the people drank, and also their beasts.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, For ye believed not to me, that ye should hallow me before the sons of Israel, \sls (or For ye did not believe me, and uphold my holiness before the Israelites)\sls*, ye shall not lead these peoples into the land which I shall give to them.
\p
\v 13 This is the water of against-saying; there the sons of Israel strived against the Lord, and he was hallowed in them. \sls (This is the water of Meribah; there the Israelites complained against the Lord, but he was still holy before them.)\sls*
\p
\v 14 In the meantime Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, the which \sls (messengers)\sls* said, Israel thy brother, sendeth these things to thee. Thou knowest all the travail that hath taken us,
\p
\v 15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelled there much time, and \sls (the)\sls* Egyptians tormented us, and our fathers \sls (as well)\sls*;
\p
\v 16 and how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel that \add [hath]\add* led us out of Egypt. And lo! we be set in the city of Kadesh, that is in thine uttermost coasts \sls (or that is on thy most distant border)\sls*,
\p
\v 17 and we beseech thee that it be leaveful to us to pass through thy land; we shall not go by thy fields, neither by thy vineries, neither we shall drink waters of thy wells; but we shall go in the common way, and we shall not bow to the right side, neither to the left side, till we pass thy terms. \sls (and we beseech thee that it be lawful for us to pass through thy land; we shall not go into thy fields, or into thy vineyards, and we shall not drink any water from thy wells; but we shall go on the common way, and we shall not turn to the right side, or to the left side, till we go out again over thy border.)\sls*
\p
\v 18 To whom Edom answered, Ye shall not pass by me, else I shall be armed, and come against thee. \sls (To whom the Edomites answered, Ye shall not pass through our land, and if ye try, we shall be armed, and shall come out against thee.)\sls*
\p
\v 19 And the sons of Israel said, We shall go by the way commonly used, and if we and our beasts drink thy waters, we shall give that that is just; no hardness shall be in the price, only pass we in haste, \sls (or we will have no difficulty to pay you for it; but just let us quickly pass through thy land)\sls*.
\p
\v 20 And he answered, Ye shall not pass \em by me\em*. And anon he went out against \em Israel\em*, with a multitude without number, and \add [with a]\add* strong hand/and with strong power, \sls (And they answered, Ye shall not pass \+em through our land\+em*. And at once the Edomites went out against \+em Israel\+em*, in a multitude without number, and with mighty power,)\sls*
\p
\v 21 neither he would assent \em to Israel\em* beseeching, that he should grant passage by his coasts. \sls (for they would not agree to \+em Israel’s\+em* beseeching, to grant them passage through their land.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 Wherefore Israel turned away from him. And when Israel had moved their tents from Kadesh, they came into the hill of Hor, \sls (And so Israel turned, and went by another way. And when they had moved on from Kadesh, they came to Mount Hor,)\sls*
\p
\v 23 which is in the ends of the land of Edom \sls (or which is near Edom’s border)\sls*; where the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 24 Aaron \sls (shall)\sls* go to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I gave to the sons of Israel, for he was unbelieveful to my word, at the waters of against-saying. \sls (Aaron shall now go to his people, \+em that is, he shall die\+em*; for he shall not enter into the land which I gave to the Israelites, for he did not believe my word at the waters of Meribah.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 Take thou Aaron, and his son with him, and thou shalt lead them into the hill of Hor; \sls (Take thou Aaron, and his son with him, and lead thou them up onto Mount Hor;)\sls*
\p
\v 26 and when thou hast made naked the father of his cloth \sls (or and when thou hast made stripped the father of his priestly cloak, \+em or robe\+em*)\sls*, thou shalt clothe therewith Eleazar, his son, and Aaron shall be gathered \sls (to his people)\sls*, and shall die there.
\p
\v 27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded; and they ascended into the hill of Hor, before all the multitude, \sls (or and they went up onto Mount Hor, in the sight of all the multitude)\sls*.
\p
\v 28 And when Moses had made naked Aaron of his clothes, he clothed with those Eleazar, his son. Soothly when Aaron was dead in the top of the hill, Moses came down with Eleazar. \sls (And when Moses had stripped Aaron of his priestly clothes, he clothed Aaron’s son Eleazar with them. And then, after that Aaron had died there on the mountaintop, Moses came down with Eleazar.)\sls*
\p
\v 29 Soothly all the multitude saw that Aaron was dead, and it wept upon him thirty days, by all their families. \sls (And all the multitude saw that Aaron had died, and all the families wept over him for thirty days.)\sls*
\c 21
\cl CHAPTER 21
\p
\v 1 And when \add [the]\add* Canaanite, the king of Arad, that dwelled at the south, had heard this, that is, that Israel came by the way of \add [the]\add* spyers \sls (or that the Israelites came by the way of Atharim)\sls*, he fought against them; and \sls (the)\sls* Canaanite was the overcomer, and he led away \sls (as)\sls* prey \sls (some of)\sls* the men of Israel.
\p
\v 2 And Israel bound himself by a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou shalt betake this people in\sls (to)\sls* mine hand, I shall do away their cities. \sls (And the Israelites bound themselves with a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou shalt deliver these people into our hands, we shall do away their cities.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and betook to them the Canaanites; and Israel killed him, and destroyed his cities; and Israel called the name of that place Hormah, \em that is, cursing\em*. \sls (And the Lord heard the prayers of the Israelites, and delivered the Canaanites unto them; and the Israelites killed them, and destroyed their cities; and the Israelites called the name of that place Hormah, \+em that is, Cursing\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 Soothly Israel went forth from the hill of Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, that they would compass the land of Edom; and it began to annoy the people, of the way and \add [of the]\add* travail. \sls (And the Israelites went forth from Mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to by-pass the land of Edom; and the way, and all the tribulation, began to vex the people.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 And the people spake against the Lord, and Moses, and said, Why leddest thou us out of Egypt, that we should die in wilderness? bread faileth, waters be not; our soul loatheth now on this meat most light. \sls (And the people spoke against the Lord, and Moses, and said, Why leddest thou us out of Egypt, so that we would die here in this wilderness? bread faileth us, waters be not; and our souls now loathe this most light food, \+em yea, this manna\+em*!)\sls*
\p
\v 6 Wherefore the Lord sent fired serpents/fiery adders into the people; at the wounds of which serpents, and \sls (after)\sls* the deaths of full many men, \sls (And so the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people; and they bit many of them, and after many people had died,)\sls*
\p
\v 7 they came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we spake against the Lord, and thee; pray thou \sls (the Lord)\sls*, that he take away from us the serpents, \sls (or pray thou to the Lord, that he take these snakes away from us)\sls*. And Moses prayed for the people;
\p
\v 8 and the Lord said to him, Make thou a \add [brazen]\add* serpent, and set thou it in a perch; he that is smitten and beholdeth it, shall live. \sls (and the Lord said to him, Make thou a bronze snake, and put it up on a pole; he who is struck, \+em or is bitten\+em*, and seeth it, shall live.)\sls*
\p
\v 9 Therefore Moses made a serpent of brass, and setted \sls (it)\sls* in a perch; and \sls (those)\sls* men \sls (who were)\sls* hurt, and beholding it, were healed. \sls (And so Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it up on a pole; and those who were bitten, and looked at it, were healed.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And the sons of Israel went forth, and setted tents in Oboth; \sls (And the Israelites went forth, and pitched their tents at Oboth;)\sls*
\p
\v 11 from whence they went forth, and setted tents in Iyeabarim, in the wilderness that beholdeth Moab, against the east coast. \sls (and they went forth from there, and pitched their tents in Iyeabarim, in the wilderness on Moab’s eastern border.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 And they moved from thence, and came to the strand of Zared; \sls (And they went from there, and came to the valley of the Zared River;)\sls*
\p
\v 13 which they left, and setted tents against \sls (the)\sls* Arnon, which is in the desert, and it appeareth in the coasts of Amorites. Forsooth \sls (the)\sls* Arnon is the term of Moab, and parteth Moabites and Amorites. \sls (and they left there, and pitched their tents on the north side of the Arnon River, which is in the wilderness, that goeth into the land of the Amorites. The Arnon River is the border of Moab, and it separateth the Moabites and the Amorites.)\sls*
\p
\v 14 Wherefore it is said in the book of battles of the Lord, As he did in the Red Sea, so he shall do in the strands of \sls (the)\sls* Arnon; \sls (And so it is said in the Book of the Battles of the Lord, As he did at the Red Sea, so he also did at the Arnon River,)\sls*
\p
\v 15 the hard rocks of the strands were bowed down, that they shall rest in Ar, \em or abide there\em*, and should lie in the coasts of Moabites. \sls (and from the cliffs of the river, down to the city of Ar, that sitteth on the border of Moab.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 From that place \sls (they went to where)\sls* the well appeared, of which the Lord spake to Moses, Gather thou together the people, and I shall give water to it. \sls (From there they went to Beer, \+em that is, The Well\+em*, of which the Lord spoke to Moses, and said, Gather thou the people together, and I shall give them water.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 Then Israel sang this song, The \em water of the\em* well, ascend up; they sang together, \sls (Then Israel sang this song, Go ye up, \+em water of the\+em* well; yea, we sing to thee,)\sls*
\p
\v 18 The well which the princes digged, and the dukes of the multitude made ready, in the giver of the law, and in their staves, \sls (or The well from the Giver of the Law, which the leaders dug, yea, which the leaders of the multitude brought forth with their staffs)\sls*. And \sls (then)\sls* they went forth from the wilderness to Mattanah,
\p
\v 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel into Bamoth;
\p
\v 20 Bamoth is a valley in the country of Moab, in the top of Pisgah, that beholdeth against the desert. \sls (and from Bamoth to the valley in the country of Moab, below the top of Mount Pisgah, that looketh towards Jeshimon, \+em that is, towards the wilderness\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 Soothly Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of Amorites, and said, \sls (And the Israelites sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and they said,)\sls*
\p
\v 22 I beseech thee, that it be leaveful to me to pass through thy land; we shall not bow into thy fields, and vineries; we shall not drink waters of thy wells; we shall go in the king’s way, till we pass \sls (by)\sls* thy terms. \sls (We beseech thee, that it be lawful for us to pass through thy land; we shall not go into thy fields, or into thy vineyards; we shall not drink any water from thy wells; we shall go on the king’s highway, until we go out again over thy border.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 Which would not grant that Israel should pass through his coasts, but rather, when his host was gathered, he went out against \em Israel\em*, into desert. And he came into Jahaz, and fought against Israel; \sls (But Sihon would not allow the Israelites to pass through his land, but rather, when his host was gathered together, he went out into the wilderness against them. And he came into Jahaz, and fought against the Israelites;)\sls*
\p
\v 24 of whom he was smitten in the sharpness of sword, and his land was wielded \em of Israel\em* from \sls (the)\sls* Arnon unto \sls (the)\sls* Jabbok, and Ammon’s sons, \em or his host\em*; for the coasts of Ammonites were holden with strong help, \em or power\em*. \sls (but Sihon and the Amorites were struck down by the sharpness of the \+em Israelites’\+em* swords, and his land was taken \+em by them\+em*, from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River, that is, up to the land of the Ammonites; for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 Therefore Israel took all his cities, and dwelled in the cities of Amorites, that is, in Heshbon, and in his towns. \sls (And so the Israelites took all the cities of the Amorites, and lived in them, that is, in Heshbon, and its towns.)\sls*
\p
\v 26 The city of Heshbon was Sihon’s, king of Amorites, which Sihon fought against the king of Moab, and took all the land that was of his lordship, till to \sls (the)\sls* Arnon. \sls (The city of Heshbon was Sihon’s, the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the king of Moab, and had taken all the land that was under his rule, unto the Arnon River.)\sls*
\p
\v 27 Therefore it is said in proverb, Come ye into Heshbon, be it builded \sls (again)\sls*, and \sls (re)\sls*made, the city of Sihon; \sls (And so it is said in a proverb, Come ye into Heshbon, let Sihon’s city be rebuilt, and be remade;)\sls*
\p
\v 28 fire went out of Heshbon, flame went out of the city of Sihon, and devoured \sls (the city of)\sls* Ar of \sls (the)\sls* Moabites, and the dwellers of the high \em places\em* of \sls (the)\sls* Arnon \sls (or and the inhabitants of the high \+em places\+em* of the Arnon River)\sls*.
\p
\v 29 Moab, woe to thee! thou, people of Chemosh, hast perished; it gave the sons thereof into flight, and the daughters into captivity to Sihon, king of Amorites; \sls (Moab, woe to thee! O people of Chemosh, now ye have perished; thy god hath given his sons into flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon, the king of the Amorites;)\sls*
\p
\v 30 the yoke, \em or lordship\em*, of them perished, \sls (or their yoke, \+em or their rule\+em*, hath now ended)\sls*, from Heshbon unto Dibon; the weary men came into Nophah, and unto Medeba.
\p
\v 31 And so Israel dwelled in the land of \sls (the)\sls* Amorites.
\p
\v 32 And Moses sent men that should espy Jaazer, whose towns they took, and wielded the dwellers. \sls (And Moses sent men to spy out Jaazer, and then they took it, and its towns, and drove out all of its inhabitants.)\sls*
\p
\v 33 And they turned themselves \sls (or And then they turned)\sls*, and went up by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, with all his people, came against them, to fight in Edrei.
\p
\v 34 And the Lord said to Moses, Dread thou not him, for I have betaken him, and all his land, and all his people, in thine hand; and thou shalt do to him as thou didest to Sihon, king of Amorites, the dweller of Heshbon. \sls (And the Lord said to Moses, Do not thou fear him, for I have delivered him, and all his land, and all his people, into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as thou didest to Sihon, the king of Amorites, and the inhabitants of Heshbon.)\sls*
\p
\v 35 Therefore they smote Og with his sons, and all his people, unto \add [the]\add* death; and they wielded his land. \sls (And so they struck down Og and his sons, and all his people, unto the death; and then they occupied his land.)\sls*
\c 22
\cl CHAPTER 22
\p
\v 1 And the sons of Israel went forth, and setted tents in the field places of Moab, where Jericho is set, over Jordan. \sls (And the Israelites went forth, and pitched their tents on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, opposite Jericho.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 Soothly Balak, the son of Zippor, saw all things that Israel had done to \sls (the)\sls* Amorites,
\p
\v 3 and that men of Moab dreaded Israel, and they might not bear the assailing of Israel. \sls (and that the Moabites feared the Israelites, for they could not survive an assault from Israel.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 And he said to the greater men in birth of Midian, So this people shall do away all men that dwell in our coasts, as an ox is wont to do away an herb till to the roots. Forsooth he, \em that is, Balak\em*, was king in that time in Moab. \sls (And the Moabites said to the men of great age, \+em that is, the elders\+em*, of Midian, These people shall do away all the men who live in our land, as easily as an ox is wont to do away grass unto its roots. And he, \+em that is, Balak\+em*, was king at that time in Moab.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 Therefore he sent messengers to Balaam, the son of Beor, a false diviner, that dwelled \sls (in Pethor)\sls* on, \em or nigh\em*, the flood of the land of the sons of Amaw, that they should call him, and should say, Lo! a people went out of Egypt, which people covered the face of the earth, and sitteth against me. \sls (And so he sent messengers to Balaam, the son of Beor, a false diviner, who lived at Pethor, near the Euphrates River, in the land of the sons of Amaw, and instructed the messengers to say to him, Behold! a people went out of Egypt, which people covered the face of the earth, and now they be ready to come against me.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 Therefore come thou, and curse this people, that is stronger than I, if in any manner I may smite and drive him out of my land; for I know, that he is blessed whom thou blessest, and he is cursed whom thou hast cursed. \sls (And so come thou, and curse these people who be stronger than I, and then I may be able to fight against them, and drive them out of my land; for I know that he is blessed whom thou blessest, and he is cursed whom thou cursest.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 The elder men of Moab and the elder men of Midian went forth, having in \em their\em* hands the price of false divining; and when they had come to Balaam, and had told to him all the words of Balak, \sls (The elders of Moab and of Midian went forth, having in \+em their\+em* hands the payment for the curse; and when they had come to Balaam, and had told him all of Balak’s words,)\sls*
\p
\v 8 he answered, Dwell ye here tonight, and I shall answer \em to Balak\em* whatever thing the Lord shall say to me. And the princes of Moab dwelled at Balaam \sls (or And so the leaders of Moab stayed that night with Balaam)\sls*.
\p
\v 9 God came, and said to him, What will these men with thee? \sls (And God came, and said to him, Who be these men with thee?)\sls*
\p
\v 10 Balaam answered, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moabites, sent \sls (them)\sls* to me, and \sls (he)\sls* said,
\p
\v 11 Lo! a people that is gone out of Egypt hath covered the face of the earth; come thou, and curse them, if in any manner I may fight \em with them\em*\sls (or for then I may be able to fight \+em against them\+em*)\sls*, and drive them away.
\p
\v 12 And God said to Balaam, Do not thou go with them, neither curse thou the people, for it is blessed \sls (or for they be blessed, or for \+em on the contrary\+em*, they should be blessed)\sls*.
\p
\v 13 And \em Balaam\em* rose early, and said to the princes, Go ye into your land \sls (or Go ye back to your land)\sls*, for God hath forbade me to come with you.
\p
\v 14 The princes turned again \sls (or So the leaders returned)\sls*, and said to Balak, Balaam would not come with us.
\p
\v 15 Again Balak sent many more, and nobler, men, than he had sent before;
\p
\v 16 which said \sls (or who said)\sls*, when they had come to Balaam, Balak, the son of Zippor, saith thus, Tarry thou not to come to me,
\p
\v 17 \sls (for I am)\sls* ready to honour thee; and whatever thing thou wilt, I shall give to thee; come thou, and curse this people, \sls (or so then come thou, and curse these people)\sls*.
\p
\v 18 Balaam answered, Though Balak shall give to me his house full of silver and of gold, I shall not be able to change the word of my God, that I speak either more or less. \sls (But Balaam answered, Even if Balak should give me all the gold and silver in his house, I could not change the word of my God, so that I speak something else, either more or less.)\sls*
\p
\v 19 I beseech \em you\em*, that ye dwell here also in this night, \sls (or But I beseech \+em you\+em*, stay ye here this night)\sls*, \sls (so)\sls* that I may know what the Lord shall answer again to me.
\p
\v 20 Therefore the Lord came to Balaam in that night, and said to him, If these men \sls (have)\sls* come to call thee, rise thou, and go with them, so only that thou do that that I shall command to thee \sls (or but do only what I shall command thee to do)\sls*.
\p
\v 21 \sls (So)\sls* Balaam rose early, and when his she-ass was saddled, he went forth with them.
\p
\v 22 And God was wroth \em with Balaam\em*. And the angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, that sat upon the she-ass, and had two servants with him. \sls (But God was angry \+em with Balaam for going\+em*. And so the angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, who rode on his donkey, and had his two servants with him.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 The \sls (she-)\sls*ass saw the angel standing in the way, with sword drawn, and the \sls (she-)\sls*ass turned herself from the way, and went by the field, \sls (or And the donkey saw the angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn, and she turned herself from the way, and went into a field)\sls*. And when Balaam beat her, and would lead \em her\em* again to the path,
\p
\v 24 the angel stood in the straitness of two walls with which the vineries were \sls (en)\sls*compassed. \sls (the angel stood in the narrowness between two walls which went all around, \+em or enclosed\+em*, the vineyards on either side.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 And the female ass saw the angel, and she went herself nigh to the wall, and she hurtled the foot of the sitter \em upon her\em*; and he beat again \em her\em*. \sls (And the female donkey saw the angel again, and she brought herself near to the wall, and hurtled the foot of \+em her\+em* rider against it; and so he beat \+em her\+em* again.)\sls*
\p
\v 26 And nevertheless the angel went to a strait place, where was no going out of the way, neither to the right side, nor to the left, and stood against Balaam \sls (Nevertheless the angel went to a narrow place, where there was no going out of the way, neither to the right side, nor to the left, and stood before Balaam.)\sls*
\p
\v 27 And when the \sls (she-)\sls*ass saw the angel standing \sls (there)\sls*, she felled down under the feet of the sitter \em upon her\em*, the which was wroth full greatly \sls (or who then was greatly angered)\sls*, and \sls (once more)\sls* he beat her sides with a staff.
\p
\v 28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the \sls (she-)\sls*ass, and she spake, \sls (or And the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and she said)\sls*, What have I done to thee? why smitest thou me, lo! now the third time?
\p
\v 29 Balaam answered, For thou hast dis-served \sls (me)\sls*, and hast scorned me; I would that I had a sword to slay thee.
\p
\v 30 And the \sls (she-)\sls*ass said, Whether I am not thy beast upon which thou were wont to ride ever\add [more]\add* till into this present day? say thou, what like thing \em to this\em* I did ever to thee? And Balaam said, Never \em thus thou servedest me\em*. \sls (And the donkey said, Am I not the beast upon which thou were always wont to ride until this present day? say thou, what thing like \+em this\+em* have I ever done to thee before? And Balaam said, Never \+em before hast thou served me thus\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 31 Anon the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel standing in the way, holding a drawn sword in \em his\em* hand; and Balaam worshipped him lowly into the earth. \sls (And at once the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel standing in the way, holding a drawn sword in \+em his\+em* hand; and Balaam worshipped, \+em or honoured\+em*, him lowly on the ground.)\sls*
\p
\v 32 To whom the angel said, Why hast thou thrice beaten thine \sls (she-)\sls*ass? I came \sls (here)\sls* to be \sls (an)\sls* adversary to thee, for thy way is wayward, and contrary to me;
\p
\v 33 and if the \sls (she-)\sls*ass had not bowed away from the way, and given place to the against-stander, I had slain thee, and the \sls (she-)\sls*ass should have lived. \sls (and if the donkey had not turned aside from the way, and given place to the one who stood against thee, I would have already killed thee, but the donkey would have lived.)\sls*
\p
\v 34 Balaam said, I have sinned, not witting that thou stoodest against me; and now, if it displeaseth thee that I go, I shall turn again. \sls (And Balaam said, I have sinned, not knowing that thou stoodest against me; and now, if it displeaseth thee I shall turn back or I shall go back home.)\sls*
\p
\v 35 The angel said, \sls (No)\sls*, Go thou with these men, but beware, that thou speak not \add [any]\add* other thing than \sls (what)\sls* I shall command to thee. Therefore Balaam went with the princes \sls (or And so Balaam went forth with Balak’s leaders)\sls*.
\p
\v 36 And when Balak heard \em that Balaam was nigh\em*, he went out into the coming of him, in \sls (Ar)\sls*, the city of Moabites, which is set in the last coast of \sls (the)\sls* Arnon. \sls (And when Balak heard \+em that Balaam was near\+em*, he went out to meet him, at Ar, the city of the Moabites, which is set on their most distant border, by the Arnon River.)\sls*
\p
\v 37 And Balak said to Balaam, I sent messengers to call thee; why camest thou not anon to me? whether for I may not yield meed to thy coming? \sls (And Balak said to Balaam, I sent messengers to call thee; why did thou not come at once to me? did you think that I would not reward thee for coming?)\sls*
\p
\v 38 To whom Balaam answered, Lo! I am present, \sls (but)\sls* whether I shall be able to speak \sls (any)\sls* other thing than that, that God shall put in my mouth? \sls (To whom Balaam answered, Behold! I am present, but do not think that I shall speak anything, other than what God himself shall put in my mouth!)\sls*
\p
\v 39 Therefore they went forth together, and they came into a city, which was in the last coast of his realm \sls (or which was Kiriathhuzoth, \+em that is, the City of Huzoth\+em*)\sls*.
\p
\v 40 And when Balak had slain sheep, and oxen, he sent \sls (part of them as)\sls* gifts to Balaam and the princes that were with him.
\p
\v 41 Forsooth when the morrowtide was made, Balak led Balaam \sls (up)\sls* to the high places of Baal, \sls (or Balak led Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, \+em that is, to the Heights of Baal\+em*)\sls*, and \sls (there)\sls* he beheld \sls (unto)\sls* the last part of the people, \em that is, \+sls (he saw)\+sls* all the host \+sls (of the Israelites)\+sls* till to the last part\em*.

\p
\v 1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build thou here to me seven altars, and make thou ready so many calves, and rams of the same number. \sls (And Balaam said to Balak, Build thou here seven altars for me, and prepare seven calves, and the same number of rams.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 And when Balak had done by the word of Balaam, they putted a calf and a ram together on the altar. \sls (And when Balak had done what Balaam had asked, they offered a calf and a ram on each altar.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 And \sls (then)\sls* Balaam said to Balak, Stand thou \sls (here)\sls* a little while beside thy burnt sacrifice, while I go, if in hap the Lord \sls (shall)\sls* meet \sls (with)\sls* me; and I shall tell thee whatever thing he shall command. And when he had gone \add [away]\add* swiftly \sls (or And when he had quickly gone away by himself)\sls*,
\p
\v 4 God came to him; and Balaam spake to him, and said, I have raised up seven altars, and I have put a calf and a ram above \em each of them\em*\sls (or and I have put a calf and a ram on \+em each of them\+em*)\sls*.
\p
\v 5 Forsooth the Lord putted a word in his mouth, and said, Turn again to Balak, and thou shalt speak these things. \sls (And the Lord put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thou shalt say these things \+em to him\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 He turned again, and found Balak standing beside his burnt sacrifice, and all the princes of Moabites. \sls (And he returned, and found Balak standing beside his burnt sacrifice, he and all the leaders of the Moabites.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 And when his parable was taken, he said, Balak, the king of Moabites, brought me from Aram, from the hills of the east; and he said, Come thou, and curse Jacob; haste thou, and curse Israel. \sls (And when he had received his prophecy, he said, Balak, the king of the Moabites, brought me from Syria, yea, from the hills of the east; and he said, Come thou, and curse Jacob; hurry thou, and curse Israel.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 How shall I curse, whom God hath cursed not? \sls (or But how can I curse, whom God hath not cursed?)\sls* by what reason shall I loathe, whom God loatheth not?
\p
\v 9 From the highest flints I shall see him, and from the little hills I shall behold him; the people shall dwell alone, and it shall not be reckoned among heathen men. \sls (From the highest rocks I shall see them, and from the little hills I shall behold them; these people shall live alone, and they shall not be counted among the heathen.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 Who may number the dust, \em that is, the kindred\em*, of Jacob, and \em who may\em* know the number of the generation of Israel? My life die in the death of just men, and my last things be made like them! \sls (or O let me die like the righteous die, and let my ending be made like theirs!)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And Balak said to Balaam, What is this that thou doest? I called thee, that thou shouldest curse mine enemies, and on the contrary, thou blessest them.
\p
\v 12 To whom Balaam answered, Whether I may speak \sls (any)\sls* other thing, no but that that the Lord commandeth?
\p
\v 13 Therefore Balak said to Balaam, Come with me into another place, from whence thou mayest see a part of Israel, and thou mayest not see all; from thence curse thou him. \sls (And so Balak said to Balaam, Come with me to another place, from where thou can see a part of the Israelites, but thou cannot see all of them; and curse thou them from there.)\sls*
\p
\v 14 And when he had led Balaam into an high place, on the top of the hill of Pisgah, he builded \em there\em* seven altars to Balaam, and when calves and rams were put above them, \sls (And so when he had led Balaam to the Field of Zophim, \+em that is, to the Field of the Watchers\+em*, on top of Mount Pisgah, he built seven altars for Balaam, and when a calf and a ram were offered on each altar,)\sls*
\p
\v 15 Balaam said to Balak, Stand here beside thy burnt sacrifice, while I go \em to meet with the Lord\em*.
\p
\v 16 And when the Lord had met with Balaam, and had put a word in his mouth, he said, Turn again to Balak \sls (or Return to Balak)\sls*, and thou shalt say these things to him.
\p
\v 17 He turned again, and found Balak standing beside his burnt sacrifice, and the princes of Moabites with him. To whom Balak said, What hath spoken the Lord? \sls (And he returned, and found Balak standing beside his burnt sacrifice, and the leaders of the Moabites with him. And Balak said to him, What hath the Lord said?)\sls*
\p
\v 18 And when his parable was taken \sls (or And when he had received his prophecy)\sls*, he said, Stand thou \sls (up)\sls*, Balak, and harken; hear, thou son of Zippor.
\p
\v 19 God is not a man, that he \sls (can)\sls* lie, neither he is as the son of a man, that he \sls (can)\sls* be changed; therefore he hath said, and shall he not do it? he hath spoken, and shall he not fulfill it?
\p
\v 20 I am brought \em hither by the Lord\em* to bless; \sls (and)\sls* I may not forbid, \em or hinder\em*, \sls (the)\sls* blessing.
\p
\v 21 None idol is in Jacob, neither simulacrum is seen in Israel; his Lord God is with him, and the sound of the victory of a king is in him. \sls (There is no idolatry in Jacob, no false god is seen in Israel; the Lord their God is with them, and they hear the shout of the victory of their King.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 The Lord God led him out of Egypt, whose strength is like an unicorn; \sls (The Lord God led them out of Egypt, whose strength is like a wild ox;)\sls*

\v 23 false divining by \sls (the)\sls* chittering of birds is not in Jacob, neither false divining is in Israel.

In his own timing, \+em that is, when, where, and how God desireth it\+em*, it shall be said of Jacob, and of Israel, What the Lord hath wrought! or Yea, at this time, it can be said of Jacob, and of Israel, What the Lord hath wrought!)\sls*
\p
\v 24 Lo! the people shall rise together as a lioness, and \em it\em* shall be raised as a lion, \sls (or Behold! the people shall rise up like a lioness, and \+em they\+em* shall be raised up like a lion)\sls*; the lion shall not rest, till he devour \add [the]\add* prey, and drink the blood of them that be slain.
\p
\v 25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse thou, neither bless thou him. \sls (And Balak said to Balaam, If thou wilt not curse them, at least do not thou bless them!)\sls*
\p
\v 26 And Balaam said, Whether I said not to thee, that whatever thing God commanded to me, I would do that?
\p
\v 27 And Balak said to him, Come, and I shall lead thee to another place, if in hap it pleaseth God that from thence thou curse him \sls (or perhaps it shall please God that thou curse them from there)\sls*.
\p
\v 28 And when Balak had led him out on\sls (to)\sls* the top of the hill of Peor, that beholdeth the wilderness, \sls (And when Balak had led Balaam to the top of Mount Peor, that overlooketh Jeshimon, \+em that is, the wilderness\+em*,)\sls*
\p
\v 29 Balaam said to Balak, Build here seven altars to me, and make ready so many calves, and rams of the same number. \sls (Balaam said to Balak, Now also build seven altars here for me, and prepare seven calves, and the same number of rams.)\sls*
\p
\v 30 Balak did as Balaam said, and he put the calves and the rams, by all the altars. \sls (And Balak did as Balaam said, and he put a calf and a ram on each of the altars.)\sls*
\c 24
\cl CHAPTER 24
\p
\v 1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord that he should bless Israel, he went not as he had gone before, that he should seek false divining by chittering of birds, but he \sls (ad)\sls*dressed his face against the desert, \sls (And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord when he blessed Israel, he went not as he had gone before, to seek out false divining by the twittering of birds, but he directed his face towards the wilderness,)\sls*
\p
\v 2 and he raised up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling in tents by his lineages, \sls (or and he raised up his eyes, and he saw the Israelites living in their tents, tribe by tribe)\sls*. And when the Spirit of God fell upon him,
\p
\v 3 and when the parable was taken \sls (or and when he had received his prophecy)\sls*, he said, Balaam, the son of Beor, said, \sls (yea)\sls*, a man, whose eye is stopped, said,
\p
\v 4 the hearer of God’s words said, which beheld the revelation of Almighty God, which falleth down, and his eyes be opened so, \sls (yea, the hearer of God’s words said, who beheld the revelation of Almighty God, and who falleth down, but his eyes still be open,)\sls*
\p
\v 5 How fair be thy tabernacles, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel!
\p
\v 6 as valleys full of trees, and moist gardens beside floods, as tabernacles which the Lord hath set \sls (up)\sls*, as cedar trees beside waters; \sls (like valleys full of trees, and watered gardens beside the river, like aloes planted by the Lord, and cedar trees beside the water;)\sls*
\p
\v 7 water shall flow \sls (out)\sls* of his bucket, and his seed shall be into many waters, \em that is, peoples\em*. The king of him shall be taken away for Agag, and the realm of him shall be done away. \sls (water shall flow out of his bucket, and his descendants shall be like many waters, \+em that is, they shall become many people\+em*. His king shall be greater than Agag, and his kingdom shall prevail.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 God led him out of Egypt, whose strength is like an unicorn; the sons of Israel shall waste, \em or devour\em*, \sls (the)\sls* heathen men, their enemies; and they shall break the bones of them, and pierce \sls (them through)\sls* with \sls (their)\sls* arrows.
\p
\v 9 He rested, and slept as a lion, and as a lioness, whom no man shall dare raise. He that blesseth thee, shall be blessed; and he that curseth, shall be areckoned into cursing. \sls (He rested, and slept like a lion, and like a lioness, whom no man shall dare raise up. He who blesseth thee, shall be blessed; and he who curseth \+em thee\+em*, shall be cursed.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And Balak was wroth against Balaam, and he said, when his hands were wrung together, I called thee to curse mine enemies, whom, on the contrary, thou hast blessed thrice, \sls (or but who, instead, thou hast now blessed three times!)\sls*.
\p
\v 11 Turn again to thy place; forsooth I deemed to honour thee greatly, but the Lord deprived thee from \add [thine]\add* honour \sls (that was)\sls* disposed. \sls (Return to thy place; I had intended to greatly reward thee, but the Lord hath now deprived thee of the reward which I had ordained for thee.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Balaam answered to Balak, Whether I said not to thy messengers, which thou sentest to me, \sls (Balaam answered to Balak, Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me,)\sls*
\p
\v 13 Though Balak shall give to me his house full of silver and of gold, I shall not be able to pass \add [over]\add* the word of my Lord God, that I bring forth of mine heart anything, either of good or of evil, but whatever thing the Lord shall say, I shall speak that? \sls (Even if Balak shall give me all the gold and silver in his house, I shall not change the word of the Lord my God, so that I bring forth something out of my own heart, either good or bad, no, but whatever thing the Lord shall say, that I shall speak?)\sls*
\p
\v 14 Nevertheless I shall go to my people, and I shall give counsel to thee, what thy people shall do in the last time to this people. \sls (Nevertheless, I shall now return to my people, but first I shall give thee counsel, what these people shall do to thy people in the days to come.)\sls*
\p
\v 15 Therefore when a parable was taken \sls (or And so when he had received his prophecy)\sls*, he said again, Balaam, the son of Beor, said, \sls (yea)\sls*, a man, whose eye is stopped, said,
\p
\v 16 the hearer of God’s words said, which knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the revelation of Almighty God, which falleth down, and hath open eyes, \sls (yea, the hearer of God’s words said, who knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the revelation of Almighty God, and who falleth down, but his eyes still be open,)\sls*

\v 17 I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh; a star shall be born of Jacob, and a rod shall rise \sls (out)\sls* of Israel; and he shall smite the dukes of Moab, and he shall waste all the sons of Seth; \sls (I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near; a star shall be born in Jacob, and a sceptre shall rise up out of Israel; and he shall strike down Moab’s leaders, and he shall destroy all the sons of strife;)\sls*
\p
\v 18 and Idumea shall be his possession, the heritage of Seir shall befall to his enemies; soothly Israel shall do strongly, \sls (and Edom shall become his possession, yea, the inheritance of Seir shall befall to their enemies; and Israel shall be victorious,)\sls*
\p
\v 19 of Jacob shall be he that shall be lord, and shall lose the relics, \em or \+sls (the)\+sls* remnants\em*, of the city. \sls (for out of Jacob shall come he who shall be their lord, and he shall destroy those who last remain in the city of Ar.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 And when he had seen Amalek, he took a parable, and said, Amalek is the beginning of heathen men, whose last things shall be lost. \sls (And \+em in a vision\+em* he saw the Amalekites, and when he had received his prophecy, he said, Amalek was the first in all the heathen, but its end shall be utter destruction.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 Also he saw Kenites, and when a parable was taken, he said, Soothly thy dwelling place is strong, but if thou shalt set thy nest in a stone, \sls (And he also saw the Kenites, and when he had received his prophecy, he said, Thy dwelling place is strong, and thou shalt set thy nest in a stone,)\sls*
\p
\v 22 and shalt be chosen of the generation of Kenites, how long shalt thou be able to dwell? soothly Assur shall take thee. \sls (and shalt be the chosen of the generation of Kenites, but how long shalt thou be able to live there? for Assyria shall take thee captive.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 And when a parable was taken, \em or showed to him\em*, he said again, \sls (or And when he had received his prophecy, he said)\sls*, Alas! who shall live, when the Lord shall do these things?
\p
\v 24 They shall come in great ships from Italy \sls (or They shall come in great ships from Chittim)\sls*, \sls (and)\sls* they shall overcome Assyria, and they shall destroy Eber, and at the last also they themselves shall perish.

\v 25 And Balaam rose, and turned again into his place; and Balak went again by the way in which he came. \sls (And then Balaam rose up, and returned to his home; and Balak returned by the way by which he came.)\sls*

\cl CHAPTER 25
\p
\v 1 Soothly in that time Israel dwelled in Shittim \sls (or And so the Israelites lived in Shittim)\sls*; and the people did fornication with the daughters of Moab;
\p
\v 2 which daughters called them to their sacrifices, and they ate \sls (the sacrificial food)\sls*, and worshipped the gods of those daughters;
\p
\v 3 and Israel made sacrifice to Baalpeor. And the Lord was wroth, \sls (and the Israelites sacrificed to Baal of Peor. And the Lord was angry against them,)\sls*
\p
\v 4 and said to Moses, Take thou all the princes of the people, and hang them against the sun in gibbets, that my strong vengeance be turned away from Israel. \sls (and said to Moses, Take thou all the leaders of the people, and hang them up on gallows out in the sun, so that my strong vengeance be turned away from Israel.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Each man slay his neighbours, that made sacrifice to Baalpeor. \sls (And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Each one of you kill his neighbours, yea, they who sacrificed to Baal of Peor.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 And lo! one of the sons of Israel entered before his brethren to an whore of Midian, in the sight of Moses, and of all the company of the sons of Israel, which wept before the gates of the tabernacle. \sls (And behold! one of the Israelites brought a woman of Midian into his tent, in the sight of Moses, and all the congregation of the Israelites, who were mourning at the entrance to the Tabernacle.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, had seen this \em unshamefast doing\em*\sls (or had seen this \+em shameful thing\+em*)\sls*, he rose \sls (up)\sls* from the midst of the multitude; and when he had taken a sword,
\p
\v 8 he entered after the man of Israel into the whorehouse, and sticked through both together, that is, the man and the woman, in the places of engendering. And the vengeance ceased from the sons of Israel, \sls (he went into that bawdy house, after the man of Israel, and stuck his sword through both of them together, that is, the man and the woman, in their places of begetting. And so the plague that had attacked the Israelites was stopped,)\sls*
\p
\v 9 and four and twenty thousand of men were slain. \sls (but by then, twenty-four thousand people had already died.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And the Lord said to Moses,
\p
\v 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, \sls (the)\sls* priest, hath turned away my wrath from the sons of Israel; for he was moved against them by my fervent love, \sls (and so for)\sls* that, I myself \sls (did)\sls* not do away the sons of Israel in my great ferventness \em of vengeance\em*. \sls (Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, hath turned away my anger from the Israelites; for he was moved against them by his fervent love for me, and because of that, I did not do away all the Israelites in my great fervour \+em for vengeance\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Therefore speak thou to him, Lo! I give to him the peace of my covenant, \sls (And so tell thou him, Behold! I now give him my covenant of peace,)\sls*
\p
\v 13 and it shall be an everlasting covenant of priesthood, as well to himself as to his seed; for he loved fervently for his God, and he hath cleansed the great trespass of the sons of Israel. \sls (and it shall be an everlasting covenant of priesthood, with him as well as with his descendants; because he fervently loved for his God, and he made amends for the great trespass of the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 14 Forsooth the name of the man of Israel, that was slain with the woman of Midian, was Zimri, the son of Salu, duke, of the kindred and lineage of Simeon, \sls (or a leader, of the kindred and the tribe of Simeon)\sls*.
\p
\v 15 Soothly the woman of Midian that was slain together \em with the whoreling\em*, was called Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, the noblest prince of \sls (the)\sls* Midianites.
\p
\v 16 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 17 Midianites feel you enemies, and smite ye them; \sls (Regard ye the Midianites as your enemies, and strike ye them down;)\sls*
\p
\v 18 for also they have done enemy-like against you, and deceived you by treasons, by the idol of Peor, and by their sister Cozbi, daughter of the duke of Midian, which daughter was slain in the day of vengeance, for the sacrilege of Peor. \sls (for they were like an enemy to you, and they deceived you with treasons, first in the matter at Peor, and then with their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, which daughter was killed during the plague, on the day of vengeance for the sacrilege at Peor.)\sls*

\p
\v 3 And so Moses and Eleazar, the priest, spake in the field places of Moab, over Jordan, against Jericho, \sls (And so Moses and Eleazar, the priest, spoke on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, opposite Jericho,)\sls*

\p
\v 32 and Shemida, of him the family of Shemidaites; and Hepher, of him the family of Hepherites.
\p
\v 33 Soothly Hepher was the father of Zelophehad, that had not sons, but only daughters; of which these were the names; Mahlah, and Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
\p
\v 34 These were the families of Manasseh, and \sls (all)\sls* the number of them was two and fifty thousand and seven hundred.

\v 51 This is the sum of the sons of Israel, that were numbered \sls (or who were listed, \+em or registered\+em*)\sls*, six hundred thousand and a thousand \sls (and)\sls* seven hundred and thirty.
\p
\v 52 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
\p
\v 53 The land shall be parted to these, by the number of names into their possessions; \sls (The land shall be divided into possessions for these tribes, according to the number of names listed;)\sls*
\p
\v 54 thou shalt give the greater part to \add [the]\add* more men, and the less\sls (er)\sls* part to \add [the]\add* fewer men; possession shall be given to all by themselves, as they be numbered now; \sls (thou shalt give the larger part to the larger group of people, and the smaller part to the smaller group of people; a possession shall be given to each by themselves, as they now be numbered, \+em that is, in proportion to their number\+em*;)\sls*
\p
\v 55 so only that \sls (the)\sls* lot part the land to lineages and to families.
\p
\v 56 Whatever thing befalleth by lot, either more \sls (men)\sls*, either fewer men, take that.

\v 57 Also this is the number of the sons of Levi by their families; Gershon, of whom \em is\em* the family of Gershonites; Kohath, of him the family of Kohathites; Merari, of him the family of Merarites.
\p
\v 58 These were the families of Levi; the family of Libni, the family of Hebron, the family of Mahli, the family of Mushi, the family of Korah. And soothly Kohath begat Amram,
\p
\v 59 which had a wife, Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, which daughter was born to him in Egypt. This \em Jochebed\em* engendered to her husband Amram, \sls (his two)\sls* sons, Aaron and Moses, and Marie, the sister of them. \sls (who had a wife, Jochebed, who was the daughter of Levi, and she was born to him in Egypt. This \+em Jochebed\+em* bare for her husband Amram, his two sons, Aaron and Moses, and their sister, Miriam.)\sls*
\p
\v 60 Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar were begotten of Aaron;
\p
\v 61 of which Nadab and Abihu were dead, when they had offered alien fire before the Lord. \sls (and Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered unholy fire before the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 62 And all that were numbered \em of this lineage\em* were three and twenty thousand of male kind, from a month and above, which were not numbered among the sons of Israel, neither possession was given to them with other men. \sls (And all who were listed, \+em or registered, in this tribe\+em* were twenty-three thousand males, from one month of age and older, but they were not listed with the other Israelites, nor was any possession given to them among the other people.)\sls*
\p
\v 63 This is the number of the sons of Israel, that be described of Moses and Eleazar, \add [the]\add* priest, in the field places of Moab, over Jordan, against Jericho; \sls (These were all the Israelites listed by Moses and Eleazar, the priest, on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, opposite Jericho;)\sls*
\p
\v 64 among which none of them was that were numbered before of Moses and Aaron, in the desert of Sinai; \sls (and there was not one among them who had been registered by Moses and Aaron before, in the Sinai Desert;)\sls*
\p
\v 65 for the Lord before-said, that all should die in the wilderness; and none of them dwelled \em alive\em*, but Caleb, Jephunneh’s son, and Joshua, the son of Nun. \sls (for the Lord had said before, that they would all die in the wilderness; and so none of them remained \+em alive\+em*, but Caleb, Jephunneh’s son, and Joshua, the son of Nun.)\sls*
\c 27
\cl CHAPTER 27
\p
\v 1 Soothly the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, that was the son of Joseph, nighed \sls (or came near)\sls*; of which daughters these be the names; Mahlah, and Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
\p
\v 2 And they stood before Moses, and Eleazar, the priest, and before all the princes of the people, at the door of the tabernacle of \add [the]\add* bond of peace; and said, \sls (And they stood before Moses, and Eleazar, the priest, and before all the leaders of the people, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant; and they said,)\sls*
\p
\v 3 Our father was dead in the desert, neither he was in the rebelty that was raised against the Lord under Korah, but he was dead in his sin; he had no male sons \add [or he had not male children]\add*. \sls (Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the rebellion that was raised against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 Why is his name taken away from his family, for he hath no son? Give ye possession to us among our father’s kinsmen. \sls (But why should his name be done away from his family, simply because he hath no son? Give ye to us a possession, \+em that is, some property\+em*, among our father’s kinsmen.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 And Moses told their cause to the doom of the Lord; \sls (And Moses brought their case to the judgement of the Lord;)\sls*
\p
\v 6 the which said to Moses, \sls (and the Lord said to Moses,)\sls*
\p
\v 7 The daughters of Zelophehad ask a just thing; give thou possession to them among their father’s kinsmen, and be they successors to him into heritage. \sls (The daughters of Zelophehad ask for a just thing; give thou them some property among their father’s kinsmen, and let them be the successors of his inheritance.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 Forsooth thou shalt speak these things to the sons of Israel, When a man is dead without son, the heritage shall go to his daughter; \sls (And thou shalt speak these words to the Israelites, When a man is dead without a son, the inheritance shall go to his daughter;)\sls*
\p
\v 9 if he hath no daughter, he shall have \sls (as)\sls* his heirs his brethren; \sls (if he hath no daughter, his brothers shall be his heirs;)\sls*
\p
\v 10 that and if brethren be not, ye shall give the heritage to the brethren of his father; \sls (and if he hath no brothers, ye shall give the inheritance to his father’s brothers;)\sls*
\p
\v 11 soothly if he have no brethren of his father, the heritage shall be given to them that be next to him. And this shall be holy by everlasting law to the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded to Moses. \sls (and if his father hath no brothers, the inheritance shall be given to them who be next to him. And this shall be holy by an everlasting law to the Israelites, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Also the Lord said to Moses, Go \sls (thou)\sls* up into this hill of Abarim, and behold thou from thence the land, which I shall give to the sons of Israel. \sls (And then the Lord said to Moses, Go thou up onto this Mount Abarim, and from there behold thou the land, which I have given to the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 13 And when thou hast seen it, also thou shalt go to thy people, as thy brother Aaron went; \sls (And when thou hast seen it, then thou also shalt go to thy people, \+em that is, thou shalt die\+em*, like thy brother Aaron did;)\sls*
\p
\v 14 for thou offendedest me in the desert of Zin, in the against-saying of the multitude, neither thou wouldest hallow me before \em the people\em*, upon the waters. These be the waters of against-saying in Kadesh, in the desert of Zin. \sls (for thou offendedest me in the wilderness of Zin, when the people spoke against me, and thou didest not uphold my holiness before \+em the people\+em*, there at the waters. These be the waters of Meribah at Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.)\sls*
\p
\v 15 To whom Moses answered,
\p
\v 16 The Lord God of the spirits of all flesh, purvey a man, that he be on this multitude, \sls (May the Lord God of the spirits of all people purvey a man who shall be over these people,)\sls*
\p
\v 17 and that may go out \sls (or and who can go out)\sls*, and enter in before them, and lead them out, and lead them in, lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without \sls (a)\sls* shepherd.
\p
\v 18 And the Lord said to Moses, Take thou Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the spirit of God is \sls (or a man in whom is the spirit of God)\sls*, and put thine hand upon him;
\p
\v 19 and he shall stand before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the multitude. And thou shalt give to him behests, in the sight of all men, \sls (or And thou shalt give him his orders, \+em or his commission\+em*, in the sight of all the people)\sls*,
\p
\v 20 and a part of thy glory, that all the synagogue of the sons of Israel hear him. \sls (and some of thy authority, so that all the congregation of the Israelites shall listen to him, \+em and shall follow him\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 21 If anything shall be worthy to be done for this \em man, Joshua\em*, Eleazar, the priest, shall counsel the Lord; he shall go out, and shall go in, at the word of Eleazar; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the tother multitude. \sls (And if anything shall be worthy to be done for this \+em man, Joshua\+em*, Eleazar, the priest, shall ask counsel from the Urim and the Thummim, before the Lord; he shall go out, and shall go in, at the word of Eleazar; he, and all the multitude of the Israelites.)\sls*
\p
\v 22 Moses did as the Lord commanded, and when he had taken Joshua, he set him before Eleazar, the priest; and before all the multitude of the people;
\p
\v 23 and when he had put his hands upon his head, he rehearsed all things that the Lord commanded. \sls (and when he had laid his hands upon his head, he repeated all the things that the Lord had commanded.)\sls*
\c 28
\cl CHAPTER 28
\p
\v 1 Also the Lord said to Moses, \sls (And the Lord said to Moses,)\sls*
\p
\v 2 Command thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Offer ye by their times mine offering, and loaves, and incense of sweetest odour. \sls (Command thou to the Israelites, and thou shalt say to them, At the appointed times, offer ye my food offerings, to make the incense of the sweetest aroma.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 These be the sacrifices which ye ought to offer; two lambs of one year, without wem, each day, into everlasting burnt sacrifice. \sls (These be the offerings which ye ought to offer; two one-year-old lambs, without blemish, \+em or without fault\+em*, for a continual, \+em or a daily\+em*, burnt sacrifice.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 Ye shall offer one lamb early, and the tother at eventide. \sls (Ye shall offer one lamb in the morning, and the other in the evening.)\sls*

\p
\v 6 It is \sls (the)\sls* continual burnt sacrifice, which ye offered in the hill of Sinai, into odour of sweetest incense to the Lord. \sls (This is the continual, \+em or the daily\+em*, burnt sacrifice, which ye first offered at Mount Sinai, to make the incense of the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 7 And \sls (for the wine offering)\sls*, ye shall offer the fourth part of \sls (a)\sls* hin of wine, by each lamb, in the saintuary of the Lord. \sls (And for the wine offering, ye shall offer a quarter of a hin of wine with each lamb, in the sanctuary of the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 8 And ye shall offer in like manner the tother lamb at eventide, by all the custom of the morrow sacrifice, and of the moist sacrifices thereof, an offering of sweetest odour to the Lord. \sls (And ye shall offer in like manner the other lamb in the evening, with all the customs, \+em or all the rites\+em*, of the morning offering, with its grain and wine offerings, to make an offering of the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 9 Soothly in the sabbath day ye shall offer two lambs of one year, without wem, and two tenth parts of tried flour sprinkled \sls (al)\sls*together with oil, in sacrifice, \sls (And on the Sabbath day, ye shall offer an offering of two one-year-old lambs, without blemish, \+em or without fault\+em*, with its grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour sprinkled with oil, and its wine offering,)\sls*

\v 22 The gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead,

\v 23 and all thing that may pass by \sls (the)\sls* flame, shall be purged by fire; soothly whatever thing may not suffer fire, shall be hallowed with the water of cleansing. \sls (and all the things that can pass through the flame, shall be purified by fire; but whatever thing cannot survive the flame, shall be made clean with the water of cleansing, \+em or of purification\+em*.)\sls*

\p
\v 28 And thou shalt separate a part to the Lord, of them that have fought, and were in battle, one soul of five hundred, as well of men, as of oxen, and of asses, and of sheep. \sls (And thou shalt take a tribute, \+em or a tax\+em*, for the Lord, from those who fought, and were in the battle, one soul out of five hundred, of people, and of oxen, and of donkeys, and of sheep.)\sls*

\p
\v 1 Soothly the sons of Reuben and of Gad had many beasts, and cattle without number was to them, in work beasts.

And so when they had seen that Jazer and Gilead had suitable lands, where beasts could be pastured,)\sls*
\p
\v 2 they came to Moses, and to Eleazar, the priest, and to the princes of the multitude \sls (or and to the leaders of the multitude)\sls*, and said,

\v 4 \sls (that is)\sls*, the land which the Lord smote in the sight of the sons of Israel, is of most plenteous country to the pasture of beasts \sls (or is very fine land for pasturing beasts)\sls*; and we thy servants have full many beasts;

\p
\v 6 To whom Moses answered, Whether your brethren shall go to battle, and ye shall sit here?

\v 7 Why mis-turn ye the thoughts of the sons of Israel, that they dare not pass \sls (over)\sls* into the place, which the Lord shall give to them? \sls (Why would ye want to discourage the Israelites, so that they dare not cross over to the place, which the Lord shall give them?)\sls*
\p
\v 8 Whether your fathers did not so, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to espy the land, \sls (This is just what your fathers did, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to spy out the land,)\sls*
\p
\v 9 and when they came to the valley of Cluster, when all the country was compassed, they turned into fear the heart of the sons of Israel, that they entered not into the coasts, which the Lord had given to them. \sls (and they went as far as the Eshcol Valley, and then when all the land was surveyed, they came back, and turned the hearts of the Israelites to fear, so that they would not enter into the land, which the Lord had given them.)\sls*
\p
\v 10 And the Lord therefore was wroth \sls (or And so the Lord was angry)\sls*, and he swore, saying,
\p
\v 11 These men that went up from Egypt, from twenty years \em of age\em* and above, shall not see the land which I promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and \add [they]\add* would not follow me, \sls (These men who went up from Egypt, from twenty years \+em of age\+em* and older, shall not see the land which I promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they would not follow me,)\sls*

\v 12 except Caleb, \sls (the)\sls* Kenezite, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun; these \em twain\em* fulfilled my will.

\v 13 And the Lord was wroth against Israel, and led him about the desert by forty years, \sls (or And so the Lord was angry with the Israelites, and led them about in the wilderness for forty years)\sls*, till all the generation was wasted, that had done \sls (this)\sls* evil in the sight of the Lord.
\p
\v 14 And Moses said, Lo! ye the increasings, and nourished children, of sinful men, have risen \sls (up)\sls* for your fathers, that ye should increase the strong vengeance of the Lord against Israel. \sls (And Moses said, Behold! now ye, the increasings, and nourished children, of sinful men, have taken your fathers’ place, and ye would provoke the strong vengeance of the Lord against Israel once again.)\sls*
\p
\v 15 That if ye will not follow the Lord, in the wilderness he shall \sls (again)\sls* forsake the people, and ye shall be \add [the]\add* cause of the death of all \sls (these)\sls* men. \sls (For if ye will not follow the Lord, he shall again forsake the people in the wilderness, and ye shall be responsible for the death of all these people.)\sls*
\p
\v 16 And they went nigh, and said, We shall make sheepfolds, and stables of beasts, and \em we shall make\em* strengthened cities to our little children. \sls (And they came near, and said to him, We shall make sheepfolds, and stables for our beasts, and \+em we shall make\+em* our cities safe and strong for our little children.)\sls*
\p
\v 17 Forsooth we ourselves shall be armed \em to defense\em*, and shall be girded \em with arms to assailing\em*, and shall go to battle before the sons of Israel, till we bring them into their places; \sls (but)\sls* our little children, and whatever thing we may have, shall be in strengthened cities, for the treasons of the dwellers \sls (\+em hereabout\+em*)\sls*. \sls (And then we ourselves shall be armed \+em for defense\+em*, and shall be girded \+em for assault\+em*, and we shall go forth to battle at the front of the Israelites, until we have brought them into their land; but our little children, and whatever things we have, shall stay here safe in our cities, made strong against the treasons of the inhabitants \+em hereabouts\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 18 We shall not turn again into our houses, till the sons of Israel wield their heritage; \sls (We shall not return to our houses, until the Israelites possess their inheritance;)\sls*
\p
\v 19 and we shall not ask \sls (for)\sls* anything over Jordan, for we have now our possession in the east coast thereof. \sls (and we shall not ask for anything on the west side of the Jordan River, for now we have received our possession here on the east side of the river.)\sls*
\p
\v 20 To whom Moses said, If ye do that, that ye promise, be ye made ready, and go ye to \sls (the)\sls* battle before the Lord;
\p
\v 21 and each fighting man be armed, and pass he \add [over]\add* Jordan, \sls (or and cross he over the Jordan River, and remain there)\sls*, till the Lord destroy his enemies,
\p
\v 22 and all the land be made subject to him; then ye shall be made guiltless with God, and with Israel, and ye shall wield the countries, which ye will, before the Lord. \sls (and all the land be made subject to him; then ye shall have fulfilled your obligation to God, and to Israel, and ye shall possess the land, which ye desire, in the sight of the Lord.)\sls*
\p
\v 23 But if ye do not that, that ye say, it is no doubt to any man, that not ye sin against God; and know ye, that your sin shall take \sls (hold of)\sls* you. \sls (But if ye do not do what ye say ye will, no one shall have any doubt, but that ye have sinned against God; and know ye, that your sin shall catch up with you.)\sls*
\p
\v 24 Therefore build ye cities to your little children, and folds, and stables to \em your\em* sheep, and to beasts; and \add [ful]\add* fill ye that, that ye have promised. \sls (And so build ye cities for your little children, and folds for \+em your\+em* sheep, and stables for \+em your\+em* beasts; but then fulfill ye, what ye have promised to do.)\sls*
\p
\v 25 And the sons of Gad and of Reuben said to Moses, We be thy servants; we shall do that, that our lord commandeth.
\p
\v 26 We shall leave our little children, and \sls (our)\sls* women, and our sheep, and \sls (our)\sls* beasts, in the cities of Gilead;

\v 27 forsooth all we thy servants shall go ready to battle, as thou, \sls (my)\sls* lord, speakest. \sls (but we thy servants all shall go forth, ready for battle, as thou, my lord, sayest.)\sls*
\p
\v 28 Therefore Moses commanded to Eleazar, the priest, and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the princes of the families, by the lineages of Israel, \sls (And so Moses commanded to Eleazar, the priest, and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the leaders of the families, of the tribes of Israel,)\sls*
\p
\v 29 and he said to them, If the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, go all armed with you \add [over Jordan]\add*, to \sls (do)\sls* battle before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you, give ye to them Gilead into possession; \sls (and he said to them, If the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, all go armed with you across the Jordan River, to do battle before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you, give ye to them Gilead for their possession;)\sls*
\p
\v 30 but if they will not pass \sls (over)\sls* with you \sls (armed,)\sls* into the land of Canaan, take they then places to dwell among you. \sls (but if they do not cross over with you, ready for battle, then they shall take places to live among you, in the land of Canaan.)\sls*
\p
\v 31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so we shall do;
\p
\v 32 we shall go armed before the Lord, into the land of Canaan, and we acknowledge, that we have taken now possession over Jordan. \sls (we all shall go armed before the Lord, into the land of Canaan, and we acknowledge, that we have now received our possession, here on the eastern side of the Jordan River.)\sls*
\p
\v 33 And so Moses gave to the sons of Gad, and of Reuben, and to half the lineage of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the realm of Sihon, king of Amorites, and the realm of Og, king of Bashan, and their land\sls (s)\sls*, with their cities, by compass.

\v 34 Therefore the sons of Gad builded Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

\v 36 and Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, strengthened cities; and folds to their beasts. \sls (and Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, all of them fortified cities, with folds for their beasts.)\sls*
\p
\v 37 Soothly the sons of Reuben builded Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

\v 38 and Nebo, and Baalmeon, when the names were turned, and \em they builded\em* Shibmah; and they putted names to the cities, which they had builded. \sls (and Nebo, and Baalmeon, whose name they changed, and Shibmah; these were the names of the cities that they built.)\sls*
\p
\v 39 Soothly the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went into Gilead, and destroyed it, and they killed \sls (the)\sls* Amorite, the dweller thereof \sls (or and they killed the Amorites, who lived there)\sls*.
\p
\v 40 Therefore Moses gave the land of Gilead to \sls (the sons of)\sls* Machir, the son of Manasseh, the which \em Machir\em* dwelled therein. \sls (And so Moses gave the land of Gilead to the sons of Machir, and that is where the Machirites lived.)\sls*
\p
\v 41 Soothly Jair, the son of Manasseh, went, and occupied the towns thereof, which he called Havothjair, \em that is, the towns of Jair\em*.
\p
\v 42 Also Nobah went, and took Kenath, with his towns, and called it, by his name, Nobah. \sls (And Nobah went forth, and took Kenath and its towns, and called it Nobah, after himself.)\sls*
